i reserved about an hour after they opened and haven’t heard anything yet, very psyched they’re shipping already though

i reckon it’s maybe an attempt at a new name for projectile vomiting? i know last time i got stomach flu was the only time i can remember making involuntary sounds while vomiting.

this reads like “more than a month” and i’m so bummed. i really want one :c

idk if proton would exist if valve didn’t make the deck

straightup if you don’t immediately recognize the touchpads as game-changing, then this is NOT the controller for you.

just be content with knowing that scores of people saw the $100 price tag and said “oh that’s actually fine.” and moreover that offering a dissenting opinion to folks who like it is akin to saying “i get this Mona Lisa is popular, i just don’t think anyone should pay that much for a painting!”

it’s got a unique stank threat no other controller replicates. also valve hardware is pretty faultless up to this point.

if you create something, is it not yours?

they’d be mad about the lack of shielding, which COULD result in noise from interference. it won’t, but audiophiles love ignoring real-world measurements in favor of theoretical ones.

yeah it’ll probably be easier to stylize a comparatively modern engine than it would be to deliver a modern feel with an old one.

thanks for the advice! ^^

this is a good theory!

i wanna make a slop farming simulator game on ue2 or some shit, but finding old dev resources is a unique challenge. maybe i’m just looking in the wrong places.

i swear as soon as they stopped releasing new unreal tournaments the engine itself started getting more bloated and unoptimized with every new version.

i’ll go ahead and assert that you’re not actually reading the comments you’re replying to. at the very least your replies give no indication of comprehension.

alright.

well you could be getting better performance on both! hahah

late reply but, i bought a deck on launch! stuff has gotten a lot easier, but you still need tweaks to get full performance.

at the very least you need to know how to use launch options and navigate protondb, which i have specifically been told is a bridge too far for some folks.

i think within the decade it may very well be truely plug and play. valve is doing some serious heavy lifting for gaming on linux.

thank you for including the images!!

launch tweaks, protonup-qt, decky plugins, the list goes on. there’s a number of things you need to understand before you can have a truely seamless experience on steamos in the same way you can on a bespoke console.

as much as i appreciate the convenience, it’s far from 1:1

sometimes you can do this just by existing and being a good friend! people can be weird.

YOOOOOO this is pretty sick actually!

lotta games end up with a non-current version becoming popular because of mod compatibility. in the absense of such support on steam, A LOT of workshop content gets straight abandoned after a game updates.
