I’m still mad Galaxy doesn’t support Linux. I’d probably still use Heroic, but the mere fact of being a second class citizen doesn’t feel great.

Same, and I’ve even played one or two!

I’m guessing something like a “justice boner,” but with misinformation?

Boots up Hitman.

This is an oldie, but Lords of the Realm II. I loved the first two, but had trouble with the third and ended up giving up, assuming it was a me problem.

Nope, the community pretty much unanimously hates it. It’s not a terrible game per se, it’s just very different from the first two, throwing out everything most people liked about the predecessors and not exactly succeeding at the new mechanics.

I’ve decided to build my own take on the best parts of all three, we’ll see if I ever finish it.

You can run it rootful, then it behaves just like Docker.

There really should be another level to it:

Tinker: runs fine with some in-game config or with Steam OS tools like Steam Input

It would exclude any lower level tweaks like changing launch args or using a special Proton version, those can stay unsupported. Basically, if you can get it working well intuitively without looking stuff up online, it should have some level of support.

I’ve played several “unsupported” games that work fine, so something should be done here.

Switch between left and right and you’ve got a party!

Well, some of the outfits are pretty close already, and they definitely have some jiggle, haven’t yet played it so I can’t say whether it’s realistic.

Learn to use a mouse left handed, it’s worth it. ;)

Lol, that’s some dangerous waters you’re treading in.

Force them to jump in the tutorial, and solve the main boss thing through normal storytelling, whichever way makes sense for your game. If the only time you need to know something is late game and there’s nothing to remind you mid-game, that’s poor design.

If you’re comparing them, as in you don’t have a strong preference for one vs the other, the Steam Deck wins hands down. You get access to a much larger library of games, repairability is awesome, and you can use it like a PC, because it is one.

The only reasonable reasons to get a Switch 2 are:

• play first party titles - even when emulators come out, the performance probably won’t be there on the Steam Deck
• it’s for someone who wants a very simple experience, and they’re willing to pay more
• the Steam Deck is too big for you - if you have smaller hands, it could be uncomfortable

But I don’t think most people will really be deciding between the two, they target very different markets.

I’ll probably end up getting the Switch 2, and I have a n OG Switch and a Steam Deck.

Yeah, who knows. But it’s the first step toward a larger exploit.

Huh, I forgot cake days were a thing. Thanks!

It’s still exciting. If you can run arbitrary code, you can probe the system for vulnerabilities.

Here’s the thing, there are already vendors doing largely what. Indies generally:

• cost less
• release in a playable state
• take risks on new ideas
• don’t have microtransactions

But people usually talk about big AAA games in these complaints. Buy indies and we’ll end up with more variety.

That’s always been the case. They can charge whatever they like, I’ll only buy if I think the price is worth it.

Yeah, I played about halfway through that, and it was fun, but performance was a bit odd. Yooka-Laylee felt a lot better to play, though A Hat in Time had more charm.

Oh absolutely prefer a new Yooka-Laylee game and won’t buy this remake because the original is still very playable.

My point was that I found it a bit above average. Then again, I’m not that into the genre, so maybe it doesn’t compare as favorably to others.

Eh, I liked Yooka-Laylee. It wasn’t superior innovative or anything, but it was a lot of fun. It reminded me of classic 3D platformers, which is a good thing.

I give it a 7/10, a touch higher if you’re looking for that classic 3D platformer experience.
