  Im guessing if your pc isn’t good enough to fully run the program it would be slow as shit or something, and people would have a bad impression of it.

  So, you know, lets plaster ads for it all your computer instead. That’ll make a great impression!

  I was in a 2024 Cherokee and it was insanely frustrating trying to get the window to where I wanted it.

  It also looks absolutely nothing like a Jeep Cherokee.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hori’s officially licensed Steam controller is coming to the US⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah ok. That’s slick.
  I wish steam would recognize all the buttons on my gamepad like that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hori’s officially licensed Steam controller is coming to the US⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve never seen a steam profile with back paddles before. What game has it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hori’s officially licensed Steam controller is coming to the US⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Paddles on the back have been around for awhile.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hori’s officially licensed Steam controller is coming to the US⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Those are the back pedals.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hori’s officially licensed Steam controller is coming to the US⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Both the back paddles and gyro are things that are great, and every gamepad should have them, but there’s almost no compatibility with anything on PC.

  Most I’ve ever seen is being able to change a button to a back paddle. Not even remapping a key, just a face or shoulder button. I swap it with the stock press buttons. But it’d be great to be able to actually remap keys.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hori’s officially licensed Steam controller is coming to the US⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  $60 is a lot for two extra buttons and no vibration. Gyro is nice if it actually works with games though.

  On one hand is obvious. On the other hand it’s good to point it out for the people that aren’t paying attention.

  There’s a fine line between the two. You see this a lot in all of those scientific studies that you read about and think “well, yeah obviously”. It’s good to have proof.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tech billionaire Elon Musk’s social media posts have had a ‘sudden boost’ since July, new research reveals.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The owner of the platform has made his own nonsense more visible?

  Huh.

  Please friend, do the needful toilet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gaming 2024⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I just play PC games on my couch.

  That really kicks the llamas ass.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo, famed for hating emulation, likely using Windows PCs to emulate SNES games at its museum⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They’ve been caught using roms that are available for download.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google Will Track Your Location ‘Every 15 Minutes’—‘Even With GPS Disabled’⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I was watching a video about a kid that killed his mother. The cops were detailing how they caught him being somewhere else than what he stated.

  They weren’t able to track his phone itself, because he had it turned off most of the time. But when he did turn it on they got the ping from nearby cell towers, and then they looked at highway cameras in that area. They were able to ID his license plate that way.

  Basically they just ran searches for his phone, and then ran a search for his plates.

  All of that data is already collected, all they need to do is “Google” it. Pretty interesting imo. A little scary too.

  Ok cool. That’s one of my main concerns with it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo shuts down Ryujinx⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I have a bunch of emus. Does the deck let you put them in your library as a non steam game and play them? That’s how I have them setup on my PC.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo shuts down Ryujinx⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I haven’t used my switch in a long time. I think I might have power surged it, but I don’t really care enough to even double check.

  I have a switch emulator on my external HD along with a bunch of other emulators. When I get my next PC I’ll just play whatever switch games I want on that.

  Gyros are absolutely key going forward

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PC gaming fan Steven Spielberg says he "can't do controllers," prefers keyboard and mouse⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  (and thus another 20 page long argument about gamepads and kb+m was started on the interwebs)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PC gaming fan Steven Spielberg says he "can't do controllers," prefers keyboard and mouse⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  He really is a videogame fan. When he co-created DreamWorks he pushed for a gaming arm of the company. If anyone played Metal of Honor (especially the first one) it’s because of him.

  Also, ET helped cause the videogame crash in the 80’s!

  Damn. Fuck money.

  The guy is so strange. I’ll see great decisions from him for months, and then it’s like he goes into a dungeon and randomly approves the opposite type of laws for awhile.

  Chaotic.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨God of War Ragnarok PC port suffers review bombing on Steam due to PlayStation Network account requirement⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I read those conversations. I wouldn’t call this review bombing. This is people buying it and being upset with the product, then leaving a review and returning it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨God of War Ragnarok PC port suffers review bombing on Steam due to PlayStation Network account requirement⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I was thinking that after I commented. Sounds right.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨God of War Ragnarok PC port suffers review bombing on Steam due to PlayStation Network account requirement⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t you need to have the game in order to review it? Or did that change?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There's a reason we aren't as harsh on the Steam Deck. Actually, a couple.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have an 8bitdo that can switch between Xbox and switch at any time. It’s great and works with everything.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There's a reason we aren't as harsh on the Steam Deck. Actually, a couple.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m going to look up all of their games eventually. They go hard on the systems and that’s a severely lacking quality these days.

  Rogue Trader is cool, I’m only a few hours into it though. But man, the camera kills me. It’s got a weird rubber band effect to it that I don’t like.

  But it’s mostly a nice improvement, or at least some different takes, on the WotR systems. My main complaint about their games is even with auto end turn on it never automatically ends any turns.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There's a reason we aren't as harsh on the Steam Deck. Actually, a couple.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m a PC couch player, I’ve played with a controller for the last decade with my 75" TV.
  I’d definitely get a dock for it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There's a reason we aren't as harsh on the Steam Deck. Actually, a couple.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  WotR, never played Kingmaker. And I just got Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader. I don’t understand how these games aren’t more popular.
