  I have horrible news.

  Ring works perfectly on Linux. Apparently this game is an absolute wanker on Windows. Here it just glugs along gluggingly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Controller] SISR on Linux - how can I prevent a Wine app from picking up inputs from both the real and virtual controllers?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Mostly I can only describe it as “game no worky”. Steam pretends to launch a game, then nothing happens. My hypothesis is that Steam does something to the runtime environment that fucks with some games.

  One other thing that I’ve noticed is that on Wine/Proton environments launched from Steam, the lettered drives (aside from C:) are mounted as some kind of overlay filesystem. Writing to them (e.g. by an installer) causes data to be written into memory, not to the mass storage where the drive targets are located.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Controller] SISR on Linux - how can I prevent a Wine app from picking up inputs from both the real and virtual controllers?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  why not just disable SISR and go along with that?

  Because I want to use all inputs on my controller, and (so far) only Steam Input allows me to do that.

  I’ve tried most of the methods in the article, to no effect.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Controller delivery vent⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Mine was also shipped by GLS (before the entire system fell apart) and it allowed me to change both the delivery date and address.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Controller delivery vent⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  To be fair, it was really stupid of Valve not to anticipate a massive interest from both customers and scalpers. The internet collectively went crazy like a hamster on coke when the hardware announcement dropped. They should’ve had the reservation system and per-account ordering limit in place from the first moment. Not that it would’ve prevented the unmitigated clusterfuck of logistics companies.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Controller delivery vent⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Valve is also the only party that has the size to put pressure on the logistics companies. A couple hundred dissatisfied individual customers hardly amount to a rounding error for the likes of UPS and GLS. Pissing off Valve, especially before the major release of hardware, is not something they can afford to do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Alleged Steam Machine specs according to Chris Mizo⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Nobody knows the final retail price. Probably not even Valve. Educated guesses are in the 600-1200 USD range.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the Country of Origin for the new Steam Controller?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They were shipped into the US from Hong Kong according to a cargo manifest from the 4th of April, so probably manufactured (or at least assembled) in East Asia.

  You can force-flash the firmware from developer mode: lemmy.world/post/46802249

  If the process fails, try another USB cable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Epic reduce their cut to 0% for the first $1 million in revenue for devs on the Epic Games Store⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Physical media died when games expanded beyond their capacity. Optical discs are physically fragile, they have a limited shelf life, they have to be reproduced by specialized equipment (not considering piracy here), they have to be physically transported to the customer, some regions are financially unviable (imagine the Helldivers 2 situation but with every game), and production has to end at some point. Having to set up a physical supplier also severely limits the ability of indie or solo developers to have any kind of success or even presence.

  Physical media is obsolete, and people clamoring for its return are nostalgic for a world that doesn’t exist anymore.

  What’s the problem with Vortex (other than using Electron)? I’m using it for Fallout New Vegas on Linux desktop, and other than OS-specific issues (like having to fuck with the Wine config to make hardlink deployment work, or not being able to handle nxm links), I’ve really had no significant problems with it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Former Disco Elysium devs are working on a spiritual successor at new studio Longdue, though Robert Kurvitz and Aleksander Rostov aren't involved⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Then you are not the target audience. Disco Elysium didn’t need to be anything more than what it was: an interactive novel where the narrative reveals itself through your actions. Other gameplay systems, like crafting or combat, would have detracted from the experience.

  What about the skill dialogues? Having the world revealed through the colored, polarized, conradictory, and often misleading perspectives of two dozen parts of your own fragmented psyche, instead of a single narrator, is genius.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Former Disco Elysium devs are working on a spiritual successor at new studio Longdue, though Robert Kurvitz and Aleksander Rostov aren't involved⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Kurvitz created the entire Elysium universe. He wrote Sacred and Terrible Air and fleshed out the world through pen-and-paper RPGs. He and Rostov were fired following a hostile takeover of the development studio.

  Disco Elysium is dead.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Having trouble with mouse software⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  If you decide to ditch Bazzite, try either Garuda or EndeavourOS. They’re both Arch-based, which is not something I’d recommend for a beginner, but the rolling release will ensure that you always have the latest software.

  I’ve found some more workarounds for a similar scrolling-related HID++ issue: bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=216885#c52

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Having trouble with mouse software⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Hmm… this might break the OS completely, but you could delete the module’s binary files. Can’t load it if it doesn’t exist in the first place.

  Run find /lib/modules -iname ‘*hidpp*’ and move the files to a location where you can recover them later if needed, then reboot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Having trouble with mouse software⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="rhgb quiet module_blacklist=hid-logitech-hidpp"
  

  and don’t forget to run sudo grub2-makecfg -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg to apply the changes. When you reboot, press e on the GRUB screen to make sure the boot parameters are passed correctly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Having trouble with mouse software⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I had the same issue with the MX Master 3S. It’s caused by the hi-res scroll wheel feature of Logitech’s HID++. If you have a Bolt dongle, try using that instead of Bluetooth.

  If that’s not a fix, try blacklisting the hid-logitech-hidpp kernel module.

  Arch wiki article about module blacklisting: wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel_module#Blacklisti…
  About kernel parameters in GRUB (should be the default option in Bazzite): wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel_parameters#GRUB

  The easiest way to do it in GRUB is to open the /etc/default/grub file with root privileges, find the line starting with GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=…, insert module_blacklist=hid-logitech-hidpp to the end separated by a single space, save the file, then run grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg. This is assuming that Bazzite’s GRUB is configured the same way as Arch. I’ll try it in a VM and edit the comment as necessary.
