  Some people have created impressive machine-learning-powered bots that can consistently get to the top rank in ranked play. Some high skill level players have been complaining about those bots recently, seems this may be a step in countering that?

  Also UE5 is a mess, them still being on UE4 is a sign to me that the devs at least have some voice and pushed back on the transition.

  They are working on Linux native.

  Sure! Here’s an MMO without many series-defining features that you can add in iteratively throughout the game’s lifespan to someday become a complete and compelling product! Then, you can shut it down and do it again!

  Pro 2 is symmetrical. Looks like a SNES controller with handles. The ergonomics of it are very different between it and the ultimate, and I prefer the pro 2 by a lot, but they are both good controllers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨8BitDo announces it's controllers now have Steam/SteamOS compatibility⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m personally a fan of the pro 2. I find it to be the most comfortable controller I own. Their QC does seem lacking for the hall effect sensor version though, I had to set up a small dead zone because it idled with a little bit of input. Still a smaller deadzone than a non hall effect, but I wanted to make note of it.

  Months back, I submitted a support ticket asking if they had any plans to support a d-input mode with both analog triggers and gyroscope inputs enabled, like the steam-licensed controller that just came out at the time did. They said they had no plans, but they’d forward the question. I wonder if this is a result of that. Would be cool if they also started reporting the back paddles as separate inputs as well, but I didn’t include that in the ticket.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bad news for portable Monster Hunter Wilds hopefuls: the Steam Deck can't manage 30 fps, even in maximum potato mode⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It certainly seems like it’s contributing. The game is a huuuge CPU hog.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Some guy complained this fishing game only caters to queer players, so the dev added a "straight" title - it costs $9999⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I love this game. Also the title does indeed have the dpublequotes around it, which no other title does. Last update fixed a lot of things and generally made the game nicer to play.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Heaven 17 composer calls out Rockstar over alleged lowball GTA 6 music offer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Then again, I could care less. It would be fun to also get a good multiplayer but I guess I have no real hope for that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Heaven 17 composer calls out Rockstar over alleged lowball GTA 6 music offer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  If there is a large, well made single player campaign then I couldn’t care less about whether the multiplayer is pay to win. The last one was really fun, and I hope this upcoming one is the same.

  Release order

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Entire Kingdom Hearts Saga Comes To Steam Next Month⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I am incredibly excited. However, it does seem we will be missing out on Melody of Memory.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Modding games on Steam Deck⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve previously modded a game on a PC and just copied the files over to the steam deck and it worked fine.

  It wasn’t a Bethesda title, though. Don’t know how mods work for those.
