I only really became interested in the Steam Controller since the Deck was announced and I got mine, and now that I have touchpads on the Deck controller, I wish I had a Steam Controller to use touchpads while the Deck is Docked

It's genuine gaming history now so. 😛
I would love a Steam Controller 2, see what Valve could cook this time
It not using a rechargable battery annoys me, though I know people love that shit

Yeah you can

Anyways, I could never get used to one joystick
It's backbuttons are still the best out there though

i just use elite series 2 controllers

Yeah those are great except they weight 4x as much and have terrible QC.

Very lucky yeah

although i did drop one on the triggers and one of the triggers broke so fixing it was a pita but thats my bad
still spire
Forgot how loud this controller is
Wow found a video of it
Yeah thise trackpads are loud lol
fading spade
oh my
small comet
its just sounds cheaply made and hollow
almost like a toy
and the triggers reminded me of how nice the elite series 2 HE triggers are
still spire
Triggers are one of the things I like about it actually
The Elite 2 should be like 99$ Maximum though, with all accessories
Issue is like 70%+ of Elite 2 controllers need to be RMA'd within the first 90 days
For the 180$ asking price, even with sales, QC is super bad

also only paid 120each for mine brand new

Usually buttons stick / die / controller falls apart

It's quite common, most people I know iwth one have had it happen and had to use a extended warranty, Google shows lots of posts about it too

Yeah unity had to lay off people. Since the previous course wasn’t sustainable and then the changes got the ceo fired they had to restructure inevitably

Yeah layoffs were going to happen either way, but given the discourse I've seen on social media from dev teams, the CEO dumpsterfire definitely pushed a lot of them to move to Unreal or other solutions as a kneejerk reaction.

It was a very forgettable game. It didn't play on the strengths of the existing world building and couldn't hold its own with it's plot.
It had forgettable or "I want to forget" companions, the loop of making colonies safe was not particularly fun and the main antagonist was predictable and not noteworthy

I wonder if Portal 64 could run without Nintendo libraries.
feral ferry
Although I am having a bit of a hard time seeing why they took down Portal 64
It's not running on Source, nor is it hosted on Steam
It just copies their game, but it's completely free
In theory Valve really stands no repercussions from Nintendo
They just kinda wanted to be safe or something
hardy merlin
It was also the case when they showed yuzu on Deck trailer
They don't want to have anything in common with Nintendo
feral ferry
Valve knows Nintendo Ninjas do be yanking
hardy merlin
If they were at it, they could add the ability to swap left stick and d-pad placements
pure bear
why are they swappable
severe compass
I suppose that would have raised the cost of the controller too much?
With how poorly my brothers treated my Xbox controllers, why aren't more controllers using swappable parts?
pure bear
i mean yeah but the point of he sticks is no drift so they should not need to be replaced that often
hardy merlin
One game was a blatant ripoff of TF2 using its own files
I don't think it's about the assets... TF2 Classic is still standing strong after all, Valve wanted to take it down, but that's because they used leaked TF2 core files from beta, they changed it to Sourcemod and it's fine
Maybe it was about S&box and all that... Yet it still doesn't make much sense, TFS2 was active for over 2 years now, and Valve knew well of its existence

valve can do no wrong
It's a company like any other and they deserve the same ampunt of criticism as all the other companies out there
Just because they do have customer friendly image doesn't mean they're a good company
Just because something is "not as bad" as alternatives doesn't mean it's good

What does it do with Cambridge
Cambridge did a take down notice because a student uploaded their exercise book
novel umbra
Could you elaborate yamato?
ah, they removed the feature officially, but by turning off steamplay you used to also remove steamstub
not the case anymore apparently
removing/bypassing steamstub now would prob easily fall under piracy so I won't elaborate
novel umbra
I mean you can also pack your game in archive chunks on steam post dl
ye
not sure if you can unpack steam archives without steam
they save it in like DVD size chunks iirc
well yea, that is the fault of the publisher though
imo steam is absolutely fair in letting publishers decide about drm
even though I personally don't like drm (I don't pirate games)
it's just a stupid concept to me, because it typically only bothers people that don't pirate the game
instead of the ones that do
yea
I mean you are allowed to crack the games you bought on steam afaik

Honestly, I used to dig Xbox for using batteries but when I got my PS4 controller I missed them.

DualSense I think lasts more than 6 hours on average though, also just buy charging station and place it there every time you take a toilet break etc, also ofc if you play alone you should anyway have 2 of them, no battery issues then. nice to have backup if something happens too, or/and use both of them to decrease wear and tear of both.

They amped up a lot and the sandbox is very different.

How long ago did you play that destiny pve?
severe compass
Oh yeah, even the Destiny die hards hated Destiny 2s launch. they slowed down Destiny's gameplay to a crawl to try and balance everything. also removed the special weapon category to kill shotguns forcing everyone to use double primary weapons.
Because the community hated the changes so much Bungie wound up being forced to reverse a lot of these changes, increasing movement speed, bringing back special weapons (you can even equip double special now!) and introduced a lot of improvements.

the issue is just like with Virtual Console before on Wii/3DS is that its only a very select few, in a very select few languages (some games might have released in a local translation) and better yet (i havent looked into switch online) virtual consoles titles were speculated to be just scene release roms nintendo downloaded and resold to people. this (as far as im aware) has never been confirmed or denied but some people made good arguments that nintendo probably just has the source code for all these games still and was able to port them to virtual console (and by extension now switch online)
either way its not as good as just having a freely usable gameboy emulator that can load any rom

I had a bunch of stuff here but turns out I should have done more research. perhaps you are not losing much (if anything) from shader compilation, if it's set to asynchronous by default
fading spade
theoretically, that peformance loss is ony temporary until the Deck creates the caches itself, but I doubt there is any performance different once that is done
I remember when Apex Legends was first verified on Deck, they hadnt the shaders precached and anytime I joined a new level, I lagged like hell until I ran around the entire perimeter to build that shit
but its silky smooth now :D
drifting rose
if you set DXVK_ASYNC=1 environment variable (launch command) you can probably skip shader cache download and enjoy a mostly similar experience

I'd be ok with it had battery life
It's stronger, and before oLED had the better sscreen
