#

How so?

crimson folio
#

Just more proton I'm guessing

mild ginkgo
#

its just relying on proton

woven elm
#

A lot of valve led tech has contributed massively over the years just for gaming alone

mild ginkgo
#

yes, that is true

woven elm
#

There's Proton, sure

#

Then there's stuff like Mesa ACO

mild ginkgo
#

but this doesnt push any of that further

woven elm
#

The containerisation of dependencies for Linux games

#

Which is massive with regards to cross distro support

mild ginkgo
#

honestly it kind of makes things a bit more messy

#

because devs will now decide to rely on proton because valve says not to worry about it

woven elm
#

That's a fair point,

#

It's a catch 22

mild ginkgo
#

which is really not cool, because proton handles some things great

#

but you know one thing its really bad at?

#

controller input

woven elm
#

The lack of marketshare makes native Linux application development appear less valuable

mild ginkgo
#

you know what the entire steam deck is based around?

#

controller input

woven elm
#

Steam's input handling has been great though?

mild ginkgo
#

nope

crimson folio
#

Proton be like: XInput what is that

mild ginkgo
#

absolute curse

#

steam input is the worst thing valve ever added to steam

#

its sooooooooooooooooo bad

woven elm
#

Which devices are you had a bad experience with out of interest?

#

Or just, all of them?

mild ginkgo
#

its from the perspective of a developer

woven elm
#

Right,

mild ginkgo
#

if we decide to natively handle controls on our own

woven elm
#

That's something I'm not at all privy to, so I appreciate the insight

mild ginkgo
#

valve hijacks inputs, and unpredictably uses them how they see fit

woven elm
#

I see, right

sonic tiger
#

hahaa steam deck leaks

mild ginkgo
#

so we have HUNDREDS of forum threads "my controller doesnt work with dusk, why?????"

sonic tiger
#

time to post on gaming news site

woven elm
#

From an end user perspective, it's thankfully been okay for me, but I can see how that's be quite the hurdle on your end

mild ginkgo
#

and the answer every time is steam input

#

its something i actually have to solve for the steam deck lol

sonic tiger
#

ign be like: Video game developer confirms steam deck software sucks. Coukd this be the end of the steam deck?

valid dew
#

jeez that bad?

mild ginkgo
#

its not as bad as it might sound

#

but im intimately familiar with the patience of the average steam user

#

and THATS my fear

#

people expecing a product that just works like a switch

#

and it is not that

valid dew
#

oof :/

mild ginkgo
#

it is a linux pc first and foremost

valid dew
#

so much for me picking it up anytime soon

mild ginkgo
#

with all of the pitfalls that comes with

woven elm
#

Well I'm hoping that can be used as a vehicle for improvement,

#

Do they at least acknowledge this as an issue?

sonic tiger
#

i dunno man the internet mans told me linux is a perfect ez to use OS that is just as good as windows when comes to gaminf

mild ginkgo
#

i wouldnt really know, im just speaking to my experience using it so far, which admittedly, isnt as extensive as i would like, but i dont have infinite hours in a day

woven elm
#

That's fair enough.

#

I'll keep an eye on the topic,

mild ginkgo
#

i think their verification program for steam deck is a VERY good idea

#

it will greatly reduce friction for users

woven elm
#

As in per-title validation?

mild ginkgo
#

yes

woven elm
#

Righto.

mild ginkgo
#

they have a whole things for that

woven elm
#

This seems like one of their most concentrated efforts on hardware yet,

sonic tiger
#

can it rtx well

mild ginkgo
#

because steam has SO many games of varying levels of compatibility

woven elm
#

yeah, I could only imagine

#

Personally I'm very happy with getting anticheat vendors on board

mild ginkgo
#

its vitally important they make clear to consumers which software will cause them potential problems

woven elm
#

Thankfully I don't imagine they're will be a great deal of overlap between user groups suitable for the Nintendo Switch versus that of the Steam Deck,

#

I'm (probably wrongfully) assuming it's attracting a savvy audience

mild ginkgo
#

yeah my fear is that is not the case

woven elm
#

Particularly with the whole "it's a fully fledged Linux PC" angle

#

That's a valid fear for sure.

mild ginkgo
#

the average steam user is not so savvy

woven elm
#

Agreed.

mild ginkgo
#

one of the saving graces is the ability to install windows on it lol

woven elm
#

Eeeh... Sure.

mild ginkgo
#

will save some people a lot of headaches

woven elm
#

I work with the Radeon Software team

#

And even I will be interested to see it supported on Windows

#

Since it's such an interesting SKU to support

mild ginkgo
#

linux users like to pretend they dont waste huge swaths of time losing productivity to the operating system

#

and while they may accept those losses

woven elm
#

That's fair,

mild ginkgo
#

as an entertainment device, the users will be focused on spending the limited time they have on just that, entertainment

woven elm
#

I've been very fortunate on Fedora so far,

mild ginkgo
#

not configuring app depots, etc

woven elm
#

Not having to touch the CLI at all for setup and general usage has been a massive hurdle

#

Even software repositories are managed in a suitable manner for GUI first users

#

I'm thankful it's coming along today, no doubt it's taken a few decades

#

Such are the woes of community driven design and development,

#

Relatively recent technologies such as Wayland, pipewire, flatpak and so on, are really rapidly helping to make Linux a palatable desktop for Windows and Mac users

#

Though as it stands, it's still far from perfect, as you said.

mild ginkgo
#

my hope is certainly for things to continue to improve at the rate they have

#

it would be good if devs didnt get complacent and rely on intermediaries

woven elm
#

I've no doubt they will, it gets ever closer by the month,

#

If by intermediaries, you mean Proton then I can understand that

mild ginkgo
#

my biggest wants for the steam deck right now is less crashing due to steamos software (big picture) and especially they need to ensure reasonable power state

woven elm
#

I see it as a means of communicating interest in the platform, and also a means of allowing developers to more easily target Linux

mild ginkgo
#

ive been trapped in boot loops multiple times

#

no it isnt

rain elbow
#

once the magic faded i just made my arch config foe a day and left it alone

woven elm
#

Arch for a new user is kind of scary

mild ginkgo
#

right but you spent tons of time to get it there, and continue to spend time that average windows users do not have to spend

woven elm
#

Imo

mild ginkgo
#

that time spent has become invisible to you

rain elbow
mild ginkgo
#

but even little things that seem innocuous add up

#

both

woven elm
#

Out of interest, could you tell us which distros you used?

#

Not hugely important,

mild ginkgo
#

i have used all of the major trees

woven elm
#

Have you tried Fedora?

mild ginkgo
#

not for many years

woven elm
#

If so, do you know roughly which version

mild ginkgo
#

maybe sometime around 2008?

woven elm
#

Oh wow

#

Fair enough, did the rpm situation at the time rub you the wrong way?

rain elbow
#

Is this an unfixable linux problem or just from the do-it-yourself ideology of the culture

mild ginkgo
#

not particularly, i use both windows and linux daily, just working directly on a product like a game has given me an appreciation for what the average user is willing to go through

#

as for fixing it? definitely fixable, but i think it will require some cultural shifts for sure

woven elm
#

The standardisation of desktop specific tech has been hugely cumbersome

mild ginkgo
#

its a great topic of discussion

woven elm
#

Which is why I was so happy that we're finally approaching Wayland as the standardised modern display server,

#

Why Flatpak is the emergent distro agnostic packaging method

#

And so on

#

Sorry to take this so massively off topic

mild ginkgo
#

nah its fine

woven elm
#

Dusk good

#

big gun

mild ginkgo
#

hey i dont wanna be that guy

#

but uh

#

(i was right)

woven elm
#

I was going to mention this lol

#

I'm hoping that time is sued wisely for software

mild ginkgo
#

i literally had no idea

#

thats so funny

woven elm
#

Though the cynic in me points to chip shortage

mild ginkgo
#

i was just talking about it because i was getting concerned for their deadline

#

from my perspective its almost certainly software

woven elm
#

haha well i may be biased

mild ginkgo
#

put it this way, there is not currently even a way to access the store in normal operation

#

you cant buy games

woven elm
#

Sheesh,

#

As far as I understand, the new big picture is a total rewrite,

mild ginkgo
#

it is mostly yes

woven elm
#

I'm not massively surprised it's still in a bad state, but that is pretty dire considering their release target

mild ginkgo
#

im obviously making a mountain out of it purely from a perspective of launching a product

#

for me personally, the current state is fine

#

id buy it

woven elm
#

I'm getting a unit from work so I have no personal investment in the device itself, but I'm not massively fussed about a delay if it means the software developers don't have to crunch through the holiday season

#

If I had to buy it, then I totally would, if only to support the technologies at work in the ecosystem

#

Vulkan, Wayland, Proton, Wine, bottles hell even KDE

#

And I use GNOME.

mild ginkgo
#

theres a lot to be celebrated in the steam deck for sure

#

even in the hardware side, theres some interesting stuff

#

capacative touch sensing thumbsticks

#

one of the first consumer facing desktops with ddr5 system memory

woven elm
#

I'm also happy it's decently user repairable,

#

Even though they somewhat discouraged that

#

Thought I interpreted that as valve covering their bases legally

mild ginkgo
#

well there isnt much that is typically user repairable

#

pretty much exclusively swapping the storage drive

#

and the battery i guess

woven elm
#

I should reword that to "user servicable" then

mild ginkgo
#

it is good they havent actively sabotaged that however

#

i do agree

woven elm
#

Yeah, considering the consumer electronics landscape today,

mild ginkgo
#

i havent split mine open, but it is cool

woven elm
#

That annoyingly nets them praise

mild ginkgo
#

oh one thing hardware wise i hope they fix

#

the B button

#

jesus christ please

woven elm
#

The location of it?

#

It seems pretty awkward

mild ginkgo
#

its not so much the location

#

as the physical reality

#

it gets stuck inside the case because of the angle

woven elm
#

Oh man.

mild ginkgo
woven elm
#

That's an oof

#

I've not spoken to many people with development units, so I really appreciate the insight.

mild ginkgo
#

i imagine theyll have addressed that by now

woven elm
#

That looks annoying asf.

#

In terms of performance expectations, where does it sit with you?

mild ginkgo
#

im satisfied with the performance, i havent played anything that ran worse than i wouldve expected

#

i guess the one exception is deathloop

#

but that also couldve been the littany of tech issues that game had at launch

woven elm
#

Hm that's fair

#

I tried to word that as vaguely as possible hah

#

I'm quite impressed from a performance per watt perspective,

mild ginkgo
#

yeah for a 15w device its good

#

although, i imagine it probably draws more than what it says on the label :P

woven elm
#

Interesting, I can probably help you measure this though the sysfs interface if you're truly interested

mild ginkgo
#

oh, i have ways to measure it, i just havent lol

#

also i dont think im allowed to mention metrics? i forget what the little disclosure card said

woven elm
#

You probably shouldn't

mild ginkgo
#

im allowed to talk about the hardware, and software i have permission to talk about running on the hardware

woven elm
#

I was planning on show you what I typically do to measure power consumption

#

Come to think of it, I'm not sure it accounts for VRM loss

#

I'm not sure the powerplay API is capable of exposing that

#

But it can be sort of calculated with a bit of napkin maths

mild ginkgo
#

anyways, i suspect a LOT more details about the deck will emerge in the next 48 hours

woven elm
#

๐Ÿฟ

mild ginkgo
#

i mean

#

theyre putting on a whole conference about it

woven elm
#

Well in any case, I hope development on the device eases up for you guys in the near future. Looking forward to dusking on it real soon

#

And I hope the input hurdles you've mentioned are publicly acknowledged.

mild ginkgo
#

yeah i mean, it should be fairly simply, tbh , i installed it and everything was working right away

#

including gyro lmao

#

but we've since broken that functionality

#

everything working -- not gyro

woven elm
#

hm,

mild ginkgo
#

professional video game development

woven elm
#

Basing it on arch kind of concerned me, but I imagine it'll be much more carefully managed than something like Manjaro

#

I'm not being too fair to that distro to be honest,

#

I'm thinking of a specific event a couple years ago where a benign package update fucked user systems en masse

#

A representative of that community callously attributed it to user error.

mild ginkgo
#

Lol

woven elm
#

In the mean time, I'll find out what the windows situation will be like for Steam deck,

mild ginkgo
#

Tbf

#

You can just install your favorite distro

woven elm
#

I could but most likely will not

#

I definitely wouldn't install windows on it either, but we should still officially support it.

#

I might tinker with DE if it's as simple as a groupinstall is on fedora

#

But honestly I don't know if I'd lean into the portable computer aspect of it so much

#

Heck I'm not sure I could legitimately justify the device for what it is since I permanently WFH now,

#

Though gaming from the comfort of your sofa / bed / lawn chair is underrated imo

#

and I do really love the Switch for that,

mild ginkgo
#

Yeah I can't say I have much reason to use it other than work

woven elm
#

yyyyeah that's a good point.

#

I'll likely have to factor it into work as well to some extent.

#

Depending on how popular Windows use is on it

strange axle
#

quick question

#

how big is the difficulty gap between normal and hard?

woven elm
#

I'm guessing the key factors are enemy population, enemy movement speed and projectile velocity

#

...and aggression?

#

Projectiles are faster on cero, right?

strange axle
#

well, they seem pretty fast

lapis widget
#

Yea I think

strange axle
#

but wanted to ask because it's my first time playing and i chose to play on hard because why not

woven elm
#

Sorry, it's hard for me to quantify a delta in difficulty outside of those variables lol

strange axle
#

no problem

#

thanks anyways

woven elm
#

There's also things like aggressiveness and alertness but I'm not sure how that factors in, if at all

Aaand I finished the game. What a great ending. Although I'll avoid talking about it for those who haven't finished it yet

I recently finished Dusk on Switch and liked it so much Iโ€™m now replaying it on Cero Miedo and intruder mode turned on.
Just finished Into the Thresher after probably 2 whole hours of attempts, just like the first playthrough. Probably the hardest level in the game not counting the The Dweller in Darkness. Shit took me SO MANY tries to get it right

#

Like, the big open area with a fuckton of red wizards, the small enclosed areas flooded with soldiers and wendigos, the part where enemies and turrets shoot you from below and are basically guaranteed to hit youโ€ฆ itโ€™s all so hard

quiet quartz

I did. After countless attempts I eventually succeeded. At the end I had basically the whole layout perfectly memorised

Blood .map files are quite different, they're not the same format

A proper wad -> map tool is certainly possible, though it's not an easy process

Cutting it out from a cube is definitely the wrong approach though yeah, that'd make more sense if it were going from wad -> bsp instead

You can change the color palette, make it a little easier to see in.

quasi pivot
#

how do you flip?

#

it seems cool lol

mild ginkgo
#

you look up

#

then you keep looking up

#

or look down, then keep looking down

amber sparrow
#

I turn off flipping because I find it way too sensitive when I touch the ground

#

if I look just a bit under the normal limit when landing it forces my camera to do a slow vertical 360

#

If I have flipping on, I have to deliberately make sure I'm not looking straight down every single time I land

#

Or the camera animation plays and I cannot aim at anything for an entire second

#

It'd make sense if instead of always rolling forwards when landing, it'd always rotate the camera in the direction that takes less time to get to a good position
And if it was a bit faster

#

Or maybe not always "closer". It could have some preference for forward flip but I really don't want a forward flip when I'm just looking straight down

#

Anyway I guess I can just turn it off but it'd be cool if I could both do the cool flips and not have to care about landing animations

quasi pivot
#

yes

#

i see myself struggling alot with flipping when trying to shoot

lime vale
amber sparrow
#

Actually, in the camera position where I'm exactly upside down, maybe it could roll the camera into a good position.
So you flip upside down looking back, land, your view rotates and you're still looking backwards

Looked at them again and they look nothing like i remember them

#

I imagined a forlorn tractor on a barren field under a faded green sky...

Dusk is more boomer shooter tho

Wendigos are fucking terrifying. I don't wanna do this level anymore

My day be so fine, then boom, flickering flashlight

OH GOD

They always scare me

2 wendingos can do a shit ton of mental damage

How about 3?

๐Ÿ™‚

stiff cobalt
#

I believe there was three in a later stage near the end of the game, no spoilers obviously

#

I can't read the word eyes without imagining a real Wendigo jumpscare

crimson folio
#

Honestly aside from the shock value of wendigos and the big face dudes

#

I was only ever afraid of cowgirls

#

Because they could just fuck you up hard if you turned a corner on them

#

If a plutonia-esque difficulty mod is made for Dusk I expect them in force

mint parrot
#

for me, wendigos become less scary once the sword is acquired

crimson folio
#

I mean. You can just walk backwards from them

#

I dont recall them having a projectile?

#

So any gun works

#

They rely on the surprise

#

Black knights are probably scarier in terms of game play because they are just alot faster and more lethal

#

Soon as wendigos sow themselves its

#

"Guess I'll die"

btw are steam users getting mamma mia map in endless mode?

The Knights are okay imo, just a strong swing of the sword

i was jumpscared and legitimatly scared for the first time by this game

after getting the flashlight and the blue key, i didnt know where to go

#

so im going around, not realizing the blue door is in one of the cells

#

and that fucking wendigo

#

i fucking screamed and panicked

#

all other encounters are somewhat telegraphed, the first time you meet one of them it already looks like something is gonna scare you, in escher labs that was also just obvious

theres some fun ones aswell like slow motion, or fast fire it also stacks since the cheat code to turn it off is a different one

Lore is only really prominent at the end of the game, at least from what I've seen

I would say there is lore in this game but its usually conveyed subtlety through the environment

for ex. how captured wendigos can be seen throughout Escher Labs which can mean they are either a product of experimentation or captured from the hell realm

# stiff cobalt I'm gonna give that a shot

it's really fun. the weapon placement in each level helps to change up the usual weapon progression and force you to engage with enemies differently than you ordinarily would

stiff cobalt

Awesome

charred nova

I adore Intruder mode, because I find stockpiling a bit boring, even if the short ammo supply is a getaround of it. There are some levels that are a bit of a try mess(yes I'm looking at you Erberus reactor), but they are not so much of a hussle if you save once in a while

the achievements are not terribly difficult

the hardest ones are probably don't drop it and true completionist

Dusk is better than doom eternal tho

mint parrot
#

Just my thought

#

Custom difficulty should be added to Dusk

steady hull
#

You mean like, adjustable difficulty for certain enemies?

mint parrot
#

Damage, projectile speed, etc

#

A menu that is similar to Ultrakill?

steady hull
#

Ultrakill has that?

mint parrot
#

I remembered that Ultrakill has a difficulty slider?

#

Or am i wrong?

steady hull
#

Well i only played the demo so i wouldn't know

mint parrot
#

"Major Assists"

rain elbow
#

thats not much of a diffuculty slider though

mint parrot
#

Yeah, in Ultrakill it seems more like a cheat menu than a difficulty slider

#

But the idea that customizing some universal aspects of the game difficulty can be applied to Dusk, from my perspective

magic trout
#

ULTRAKILL has a difficulty selection, an assist menu and a cheat menu

#

DUSK only has a difficulty selection with the easiest being "accessible"

#

although there are options to help the game more visually accessible

#

DUSK also has cheats entered through a keyboard combination

mint parrot
#

I know

#

But some people think that Cero is not that hard

magic trout
#

it's pretty brutal for a first time playthrough but i did it and i found it just right for me personally

mint parrot
#

Tbh i feel the same

#

But I also want to experience the campaign with a difficulty that is more challanging than Cero

#

But not Duskmare

magic trout
#

CMIM is pretty good

split ledge
#

In Duskworld, does "IP / LAN Lobby" make your server public?

split ledge
mild ginkgo
#

it makes your server an IP/Lan lobby

#

meaning, it is not hosted on steam's matchmaking network

#

and on your network instead

split ledge
#

ok

mild ginkgo
#

if you forward your ports, that will make it public

#

if you dont, it will be confined only to your local network

#

by default, all steam lobbies are public

#

and visible in the game browser

so if you want to be public, i would suggest leaving ip/lan lobby off
