Anyone else here with a Steam Deck
Does A Hat In Time load from the SD card for you? It wont for me, so I had to move it to the internal SSD instead and it works fine there
The game loads from SD card on my Switch so idk why it cant on Deck
solid bough
@fading spade which proton are you using? Or running it native linux?
fading spade
not sure
its a small game anyway, Idc keeping it on the SSD
The thing is, the Deck still downloads and runs the Windows version of a game through even if it has a native Linux build
That is what happens with Distance also, which is native but Deck uses Windows version

DOWN WITH THE MAFIA
I have the 256GB model xd
have 60GB free space left on it
tbf, im only playing 3 games on it rn
so I can remove the ones im not playing yet
maybe I should too
but transfering games to the Deck is tedious cause I got to find what appmanifest file corresponds with each game

I got the 512 and just dump everything into it
fading spade
I still really love the idea of getting small SD cards for individual games and add a little sticker on the front with artwork of the game

@fading spade if there is a linux version on steam, it should run that one if you remove the Force Compatibility option. Or check it under Beta*

Apparently COD Infinite Warfare is DecK Verified....It's the only COD game that is Verified

Is the Switch game card not just a Nintendo proprietary SD Card?
solid bough
Exfat pulled out or disconnected inappropriately during a read/write or with shitty software like Nintendo Switch : yes it'll corrupt
fading spade
How does the Deck get around that then, it can hot-swap SD cards
solid bough
@fading spade a switch game card is ROM set. Its not gonna be configured like a conventional SD card.
solid bough
How does the Deck get around that then, it can hot-swap SD cards
Nintendo super fucked up their exfat support. Its a known thing
solid bough
Yup. Nintendo screwed up a bunch. But Nintendo didnt make the Deck. So. Not an issue for the Deck.
fading spade
the whole SD card situation on Switch is a bitch anyway .-. you cant swap SD cards to a new Switch even if you are logged into the same account to verify you own the games
solid bough
Yeah
fading spade
so if you get a new Switch you need to redownload everything and manually format the card
solid bough
Hack your switch like i did
solid bough
That sucks V. Thankfully ive been lucky with Micro SD cards
fading spade
same so far
I really want to know how Valve have the auto-mouting setup on Deck to make library hot-swap work
Cause it only does it for SD cards and not drives plugged in via USB
fringe salmon
probably because usb protocol is a horryfying thing to work with
feral ferry
feral ferry
So, Ubisoft will get shittier
Ngl if I owned a gaming company, I'd definitely not lay in bed with commies
Screw Tencent
fringe salmon
you know they already had a big or probably even biggest stake before this?
ah because indie games cant be bad..
lol
orchid prism
For every good indie game you've experienced, there's another thousand that you haven't and that suck 😄
I mean... yeah. That's usually why they're popular 😛
fringe salmon
thats why popular aaa games are usually good as well lol
and for every aaa game you have like 100 indie games, so if just one or two of them are good, you have more good indie games but still most indie games will then be bad
also regarding tencent, they stopped vivendi from getting ubisoft and in most cases they dont do anything, its like an investment for them
you dont have to like tencent, but that doesnt mean they suddenly make the games china conform or anything
feral ferry
Tencent is, currently, innocent
If anything they just invest massive sums into western countries to bring games to china
Under perfect world thing
The "why you don't need to like them" is what they could do if they had malicious intentions
It's not a friendly company from a less than friendly country, that is also backed by the government of said country
We shouldn't like them or tolerate them tbf, they shouldn't spread influence in western sphere
It could end pretty badly in the end
But yeah it's China, typically they just bark and do nothing much else, they aren't Russia, and have at least some brain power
nimble current
Tencent is, like every other chinese founded corporation owned by the chinese government
ultimately its them who's pulling the strings
fringe salmon
they still dont have a controlling share so whats the issue
orchid prism
Well... they just need to convince 1% to go with them 😄
nimble current
they don't need to, if its chinese and on chinese soil the government ultimately decides their fate
nimble current
at least for that 49%
fringe salmon
china doesnt have the power to just decide what a french company does because they own 49% of it
feral ferry
And then they pull a vivendi, do an aggressive takeover by buying 2% extra shares 
Not that it's always possible, but in theory
fringe salmon
who owns the rest of the shares? guillemot I assume
which would make it impossible untill he wants to sell
feral ferry
Yeah with companies like Valve and I would assume Guillemots one, that wouldn't work
It's owned by like 2 people
With publicly traded ones though, that's harsh
fringe salmon
ubisoft is public...
and that still doesnt change that if he has 51% they cant magically buy his shares even if its a million per
if he doesnt want to
also they have a 49% stake in the holdings company, not in ubisoft itself
did misread that title
feral ferry
Nope, you didn't misread
feral ferry
Yeah that's not the company itself, but holdings
fringe salmon
yeah and they dont hold 100% of the stocks in ubi
feral ferry
https://www.eurogamer.net/tencent-increases-stakes-in-ubisoft-with-300m-investment-in-guillemot-bros
fringe salmon
they have 49% in something that owns <100% of ubi stock
solid bough
But yeah it's China, typically they just bark and do nothing much else, they are...
Except for all the other stuff that was more than just barks >.>
fringe salmon
so in effect thats less than 49% of effective ubi stocks
orchid prism
They have 49% in a company that gives them 5% voting rights.
fringe salmon
yup
wasnt able to see how much they own to find exact numbers while doing a dungeon lol
so in the end if its 5% the headline is tencent almost gains 5% stake in ubisoft
how drastic!

Looks like Projekt Red weren't lying
It's a big expansion
But the only one planned
Meaning they are really abandoning Cyberpunk long term for some reason
I mean fair deuce, they fixed up the game and are putting it in a shape which it was supposed to launch in
But it's sad that they won't work on it long term during their road to Witcher 4
That Cyberpunk MMO project is already long canned I bet

New content looks kinda lame
Other than the new iconic rifle
That thing actually looks new

fading spade
then how tf is it 14gb?
orchid prism
Overwriting old files.
fringe salmon
reskins also often just take as much space as the original
sound files, localization etc.
barren pewter
reskins also often just take as much space as the original
animations are pretty sizeable iirc
fringe salmon
can be yes, all depends on how its done, what exactly is new and how its stored etc.
barren pewter
But also yes, that is one piece of the puzzle, if one that gets reused often
fringe salmon
also might just include a lot of changes on older stuff
and then depending on how you do updates that might need to redownload the entire files
barren pewter
lots of behind the scenes, across the board stuff as well
fringe salmon
also probably just bad compression because lol redengine
fringe salmon
thats not fast and other launchers can get more just like steam
orchid prism
how tf is Steam so freaking fast??!!?
By spending a fortune on local seed servers globally.
fringe salmon
but thats not even speeds that only come from a cache server..

my wifi is definitely the bottleneck here xd

steam downloads so fast it can completely drown out other connections
nah, im also watching youtube

the only device that is not mine currently connected to my hotspot is moms phone and she onyl uses wifi for google searching
so it wont impact her
fringe salmon
fading spade
yes, you have better wifi, thanks for letting me know xd
fringe salmon
yeah but other launcher can do the same
there is nothing special that steam is doing here
fringe salmon
thats your connection, maybe you set a limit in epic, maybe the routing is bad
fading spade

hm.. im only doing 38 on this gigabit internet connection 😦
fading spade

it would not surprise me if ISPs decided to throttle business plans too so they can squeeze out more money
fringe salmon
we're not in america
fading spade
True
fallow bronze
they actually have guaranteed speeds in the contract i believe
there is very little overbooking too
fringe salmon
most likely the upload server for that is just overwhelmed in your region or something like that
fading spade
that game is fun :D
fringe salmon
the 50mbs was csgo so also just half of what my gigabit could have done at max
but also in a teams meeting atm (very boring as usual) so that is hogging probably more than it needs because teams sucks

as a saints row fanboy, I will definitely be buying the SR Reboot when it's available on another platform and on a discount, because I do not buy from epic...steam or GOG though... preferably GOG
no offense, but looking at those two screenshots hurts my fragile little mind

I only played SR3 a bit and 4 with a friend, the new one seems like a not too bad follow up with some worse points in the story but like a fun joke around game especially in coop
just probably not at full price

SR3 was...alright, 4 sucked imo
Gat Out of Hell was everything I didn't like about 4 and nothing I did
barren pewter
peak SR was SR2
bleak pike
Also yes 4 sucked a lot
fringe salmon
had a blast doing the coop playthrough and just taking it not serious, I think the new one is trying to find a weird balance between the originals and total over the top that the last ones were and thats just not going to work out well
but seems solid enough that you can have fun with it I'd say
just not going to play it solo
barren pewter
bruh, SR2 was a vibe, because you genuinely became everything you fought against in SR1
a complete monster obsessed with power
fringe salmon
well never played or really watched them so cant say stuff about it
barren pewter
yeah I totally don't blame you
when I first played SR1 and 2, it really felt like a GTA clone at first

But I also caught up on the story
fringe salmon
didn't play it on release or so and now its just too dated for me to really want to play it
barren pewter
meanwhile I'm still playing it
mainly because it's actually a pretty solid game
even if getting some really OP gear is easy AF
can do a minigame right out of the gate that's really not that hard if you get a decent car
rewards are the best SMG in the game completing level 3, and completing all 6 levels gets you infinite SMG ammo
makes the game, even boss sequences way too easy

Also the expansion won't come to last gen consoles (Xbone and PS4). Judging by how disastrous the release was on those consoles, it makes sense. However if you one of the 12 people who played Cyberpunk on those devices and enjoyed it, its gotta sting.

its inevitably going to be compared by literally everyone, doesn't matter how pointless we think it is

ok I really dont care about your distinction of it, its a device that is similar in nature so numbers of dimension can show something just to see what the volume is

and yearly xbox and pc sales are numbers that make sense to look at so your exam...
again you are comparing a console to a computer. those are just incomparable and always have been. This is jsut one that's handheld but it's still a full fledge computer. It's not a closed enviornment that can only play video games.
fringe salmon
yeah I'm not going to entertain the notion you cant compare them when they are compared literally all the time

fringe salmon
jesus christ I compared sales numbers to show the volume I'm not doing market analysis to determine the weekly tax benefits of nintendo
if I say I sold 5 apples but 100kg of salad I can very well compare fruits and vegetables for that

stop entertaining this argument ppl

If Nintendo were based in USA
Would they also try to avoid taxes like other mega corps?

who says they dont
orchid prism
They already are?

They are? Oh... Ofc

They have offices in both the EU and US. They have to, do deal there.
fringe salmon
any good company should do that. its in their best interest...
as long as we keep it in he legal areas

I don't think they have an EU HQ?
I think it's in the UK, right?
Or wait, they have a German website too so maybe

hmm new game by the creators of subnautica is.. not a subnautica
orchid prism
Here's hoping they learned from the terrible sequel.
orchid prism
fallow bronze
but that does not make it terrible
orchid prism
It was fucking terrible. Redoing almost the entire game halfway ruined it.
fallow bronze
are you complaining about the early access redoing of the story?
thats... just because its early acces?
orchid prism
They changed a central fucking plot point into a semi hidden easter egg with zero relevance to the complete plot shift halfway through the game.
The "sequel" barely adds anything new and is basically a full priced expansion pack.

Epic
fringe salmon
I would prefer it on epic and them dropping uplay
gusty compass
Just bring it to Steam
fringe salmon
epic made it so its not only on uplay because they didn't want to take steams cut, so unlikely till steam lowers their cut
tough jay
Maybe if the steam deck ever sells enough, could they put it on Steam to serve the player base.
Making a native version and only distributing the linux version on steam.
feral ferry
Yeah I suppose it's confirmed at this point
Thought it was just a fluke of sorts
But yeah the game's not in a good state
Honestly cause of what happened to Ukraine and GSC, where most of its devs are fighting in the war
They should, perhaps, consider just giving the whatever state the game is to another studio under their umbrella
GSC is not part of Microsoft family though
Just a partner company
So that'd be difficult, they could just buy off the game rights, not franchise rights, and finish it up

Even with all the DRM and needing Origin launcher, it seems Titanfall 2 runs great on Deck, though its ranked as Playable and not Verified
Titanfall 2 is <3 <3 best game
fringe salmon
"DRM and needing origin" uhh isnt origin the drm
fringe salmon
"origin client installation and background use required" sounds like its acting as a drm like steam can be a drm if you want it to be
feral ferry
You missed the and in that sentence
EA on-line activation AND Origin client
the on-line activation is the DRM
Which is just basically how fuckin denuvo works
fringe salmon
"and background use required"
why is origin required to run if its not running as drm
the other is just an activation
fringe salmon
so... it always acts as a drm
feral ferry
I mean
You can't launch steam games without steam being on
And you can't keep them on without steam being on
Is Steam a DRM? Not really?
Steamworks is a DRM though
Just a launcher if anything
fringe salmon
ok differentiating between steam and steamworks to say it doesnt act as drm is just being pedantic
feral ferry
Who cares really
It's an online game, not like you can crack it anyways to play online
fading spade
ok differentiating between steam and steamworks to say it doesnt act as drm is j...

Ubisoft gets government cuts and benefits. They ain't hurting from Steam's cuts.
also the amount of higher sales offsets the cuts.
Nintendo has a history of far heavier price tags than steam's.

how about chilli powder or something

Chili powder 
Yeah.. no
Whatever that is it doesn't seem like it belongs there
Typical for assassin's creed though

spices that are colorful and burn so you dont want to get them in your eyes
idk thats nothing new and would fit

You mean cluckin' bell

Wtf is that red stuff in the last pic
Spices or dyes.

Wouldn't surprise me if it's a smoke bomb of some kind.
But it makes them choke up and cough for a few seconds.

almost like it could be a chili powder bomb eh

Looks more like condensed Quintosh odour

seems obvious it's an escape smoke bomb.
which can just make it whatever color but yeah could be stuffed with spices or things to hurt your eyes and stuff.
orchid prism
It's smoke. It's supposed to cover your escape, not lay down a suppressive cloud for minutes.
solid bough
aye, brief confusion
feral ferry
I play Anno, I was forced to learn plenty
feral ferry
Anyways it's unlikely it's a simple thing like "dyes or spice"
bleak pike
Also that
feral ferry
They wouldn't raise these sort of pretty big clouds
It's most likely a chemical reaction of sorts
Contrary to popular belief, humans were rather well versed in chemistry for a while now
bleak pike
Powder doesn't just vanish instantly
It spreads in the air and slowly falls to the ground
fringe salmon
if you keep it really dry you can really easily make a cloud with something like flour or other spices powder without a chemical explosion
bleak pike
@feral ferry
That shit does not drop instantly
It forms a cloud especially when dry like quin said
But you are right it could be a bomb of sorts the assassin uses
feral ferry
Why tf did you just show me a slow-mo video
- Why would you use spices as smoke grenade
It's almost like it's a detriment to yourself
bleak pike
Because even if it's slow mo you can clearly see it forms clouds
You wouldn't haha
I'm just saying it could also be as you say
But it does look like spices
feral ferry
Spices make like logically, no sense to use
bleak pike
As it's near pots etc
feral ferry
Unless you are doing area denial
bleak pike
I don't mean to use
feral ferry
In the cinematic trailer the character uses it as a smoke grenade
Like that cinematic should have ended with everyone on the floor hyperventilating and crying
bleak pike
I meant it could be broken from fighting or w.e or could just be a chemical bomb tthing like you said
There's a trailer?
feral ferry
Yes

Ayyup

Find me a person that will unironically and argumentatively claim that Infinite Warfare was good
It's a travesty how bad CoD was back then
It's still shit
At least Vanguard hopefully was the end of the shit era

So it went to shit after 2012
And didn't recover until now

Vanguard was absolute trash though

I see why MW was good and WaW not as much
MW was by infinity ward, WaW by treyarch
Treyarch
The shit ones are by treyarch

world at war was over shadowed by modernwarfares success, cause it was fresh and new for the series.

WaW was antiquated when it released
MW wasn't that bad graphically
If anything MW was pretty good

what was wrong with CoD3?
that was like, big impressive way back when it first came out IIRC.
it was wowing everyone with a 360
feral ferry
Idk
I never played CoDs before MW
I am mainly saying treyarch went to shit after 2010s
feral ferry
I would say Black Ops was not good compared to how MW went
It was just weirdly futuristic and wild
I did not at all like that game
Having just finished MW series
solid bough
you say they went to shit but they are the ones with the super selling series
feral ferry
See there's the difference
Shit games that sold well
And Infinity Ward makes.. less shit games that sell decently

oh right you meant like post 2010

I don't comment before 2010 since I don't have any knowledge about any of those games
Other than MW and WaW:FF
But post 2010? CoD series reeks

Meh I don't really do old games

Give HoMM3 a good playthrough from time to time
