The INITIAL bond. He still has to eventually pay the whole thing.

That’s pretty damn neat to see it cross-formatted here!

Gyro on the LEFT stick is interesting. I usually have mine always on, but I guess with the track pad and everything you don’t need to reach for the d-pad?

You could try turning up the haptics in the controller settings?

If it’s shaders, you could potentially turn off downloading shaders in desktop mode. I don’t actually know if things are a Stutter mess anymore after many changes in 3.5 if you do that. (That async stuff)

“Consumers demand more and better graphics” Nah, we want optimization now thanks to the Deck. Games like Armored Core VI that are able to downscale fo. The Deck is REALLY nice while games like Remnant 2, which is an absolutely wonderful game, is completely unoptimized and only now can run on the deck ok after a big update for “Potato mode” graphics.

And yet some of the best AAA games of the past that can look better run at 60fps.

If anything, developers have gotten out of control with specs required to run their games. Jedi: Survivor is just ridiculous and more games seem to follow suit. Nintendo is obsessed with optimizing for lower end hardware, but imagine if they made a game squeezing out each and every ounce of what a game can be nowadays on newer hardware. We’d see some seriously amazing new optimization techniques as well as showing off the buffoonery that is the current specs situation. Hell, they already did it with Tears of the Kingdom anyways.

I’m just waiting for the new iPhone LongBeachGriffy vid

There’s an important moment where you have to ask yourself…

“Is this story so bad I’m not invested in it anymore?”

“Is the gameplay bothering me so much that it feels bad or unfun to me?”

If the answer is yes to both of those, you may feel free to drop the game with full confidence you’re not gonna play it again.

Games that don’t do this: infamous series. The first time on the first one is incredible. But afterwards as a trend, loading the game goes straight to your most recent save with zero menu.

Killzone: Shadowfall. No intros. Straight to the main menu when you boot. Unique and wild every time!

Good to take note of not being able to post yet. I did spot a block button near the top when you enter a community. So maybe it’s there for now before becoming an extra option.

One thing that’s completely new to me is the ability to turn on holding on a post and it opens it IN THE BACKGROUND so you can multi-task! Sick!

Alternatively, Sync had so many updates that paying for Ultra once so many years ago felt like I stole it. It’s like $17 a year? I could do that easily to support the dev.

It really just might be idiots with too much money. Musk makes changes willy nilly without much peer review in the similar way the Titanic sub rich guys did before it imploded.

Then Steve Huffman was like, “Hey, I wanna get investors and money! Screw the people, the whole site is mine to play with like Elon does.”

Money corrupts, man. It’s overly worshipped by society because of its necessity and now here we are. It’s a whole other system for the rich vs the poor.

But to go along your route of thinking, I’d still say no because powerful social media is even powerful when the people who use it are heavily propagandized. (especially by Russia) So when communities fracture into safer sites, propaganda loses its grip and has to work harder to spread influence.

Shooters are wonderful with Gyro. Like Roboquest or Gunfire Reborn with just the right settings can feel amazing. But online shooters like Battlebit Remastered I definitely recommend using a bigger screen for such smaller details in the distance that could kill you.

Also the d-pad, although I have a very early release version, is atrocious. Only useful for inventory and not for actual older games or fighters because the diagonals require ridiculous squeezing to input. I might need to do a tape modification of something.

Other than that, the Deck is absolutely amazing!

There’s 3 people working on this game and there’s hundreds of cheaters popping up every other day. It’s a massive load.

Especially when they also have to deal with DDOS attacks as they try to keep their servers alive for so many people too.

It’s 100% warranted and I’m glad they still saved a path for Linux. Even if it’s like, “You must be on the STEAM Kernal” or something, it might unlock a path for other anti-cheat to have some sort of access on Linux as well.

It’s odd that they say Steam Link is a bad option because of video and audio decoding, but you can disable all of that and just stream inputs. But idk about Wi-Fi solutions. Sometimes my friend and I connected our Steam Deck to the main pc and we’d both completely drop inputs out of nowhere for 1 minute or so at the same time. (PC connected to ether net and all that)

I have no idea what that was, but boy a hardware solution or Bluetooth would be nice.

I think the difference here is that we know the interface and trusted developer choices of those apps.

I’m currently using Connect for Lemmy right now and I’m still excited for Sync because I’ve used it for years.

But each update for Connect so far has been extremely good with quite a few features added. It’s also incredibly straightforward to use. So at this point I’m curious how Sync will step into the ring.

Hell, it could have all the same features as Connect, but add previewing with a hold and that’d be an amazing thing for compressing posts. But also Sync can cater to left-handed people like me with its customization.

Ryan George is an absolute genius
