I assume we saw the same one but it wasn’t an ‘official’ controller, it was a 3rd party one specifically designed with steam in mind. Made by a company called Hori. Valve hasn’t announced another steam controller yet.

I mean you could just not use the difficulty slider. I’ve never turned down the difficulty in any game even if I could have, but I don’t begrudge people that do if they’re struggling.

Seriously try one of the air remotes. It’s like a gyroscopic remote and it works way better than I ever thought it would for controlling a mouse cursor. They’re very cheap too, the one I have cost 30bucks, it can sense if you have it on the keyboard side or the media side facing up and disables the other sides buttons, deactivatable backlight on the buttons, and rechargeable battery, although it lasts for weeks without charging.
Or get a little air mouse remote for $20 on Amazon. This is what i use for controlling my pc when its hooked up to the TV and it’s so unbelievably good, even has a full keyboard on the back if I want to search something, full range of media controls on the front, and just point it and click to control the mouse cursor. Gamechanger.
Yep. I’ve been so incredibly pleasantly surprised by my steamdeck. Gaming mode works so flawlessly, I haven’t had any problems getting any non steam games to run. Switching to desktop mode is so fast and even when there’s like 8Gb of os and app updates it’s done in minutes and the package manager is actually verbose and tells you exactly what it’s doing and how long it expects to take unlike windows updates. I can’t imagine dealing with windows on a handheld, especially once windows 10 goes EOL. I’m actually gearing up to switch my desktop over to Linux since I’ve been so pleased with gaming on the deck. People say windows “just works” but I’ve had way more issues with windows over the years than I have with my steamdeck so far.
Yes it is if you read the article, that’s exactly how he had it set up, and then you just have to manually move the battery where power is needed. You just can’t use your wall outlets when there’s an outage.
Wtf I thought that was the doctor who bowtie guy at first lol.
I just started playing ghost of tsushima on my steam deck and it’s fucking gorgeous even on low settings, so I assume that would be pretty beautiful maxed out too.
No. My girlfriend and I are 140 hours in and still not finished, and I’m amazed at how smooth the coop works with the story. You can each be different places doing different things, or you can travel together, you can each have your own relationships with npcs. A lot of conversations with npcs will repeat depending on who’s talking, but important story ones won’t. As long as you mostly stick together and make choices together, you’ll have every option a single player game does.
Also made me think of progesterone.
Why is n64 emulation so bad in particular? I got my girlfriend one of those handhelds preloaded up with roms and although I haven’t tried any n64 games it seems to run other 3d games from other consoles of that Era fine. Also I remember having an n64 emulator on my modded original xbox that could run games fine, I played through all of mario64 on it during quarantine before I built a new gaming pc. I feel like handhelds should have similar power to an old Xbox by now but maybe not.
It’s that fucking readyplayerone movie. They all saw that and thought “what if everyone was obsessed with a virtual world, and there was only one virtual world that was basically a monopoly, and what if we controlled it all” without realizing how dumb that is and that competing, and likely better software will definitely end up being created organically by people who care about the end result more than they do about money.
You’re just saying a bunch of things that don’t actually mean anything now. I don’t even know what you’re trying to say with the financial stuff, but with the games stuff, how is there utility in trading a skin outside a game when you can only use it in that game anyway? Besides companies would have to adopt that tech. How is having a public ledger proving you own a skin in BigShinyGame worthwhile if in order to use that skin you have to log into your account on BigShinyGames servers and use their matchmaking service. If you’re relying on a company to host a multiplayer game for you anyway, why not keep relying on them to host your items? If the game goes away so does all the value of your stuff.
The data wouldn’t be stored “on the blockchain”, that would be incredibly inefficient. Even with NFTs which were mostly only JPEGs, the blockchain only stored a hyperlink to the file on a server somewhere. You couldn’t keep a 2GB movie file on a blockchain. So it really doesn’t solve any problems, as you’re still relying on a server somewhere to host your media for you. How exactly does that benefit anyone?
If I have a movie downloaded on my computer I own it, I don’t need a link on a decentralized ledger to prove it to anyone lmao. The movie itself (or the music) isn’t even “on the blockchain”. It’s clear you don’t understand the technology.
I mean YMMV based on location, but I’m in a semi major city in canada and I ordered some stuff off Prime on Monday evening and it was here by yesterday afternoon. I’ve had non prime stuff come quickly too but not that quickly and the longest I think I’ve waited for something prime was 3 days.
I mean sure, searches are basically useless now and the internet is filled with ai and seo garbage, but most everything is also still out there /somewhere/, even if it may only be in like the archive of the NSA. Plus when ai gets a bit better certain people will probably be able to link everything you’ve ever said to your “advertising profile” (Google basically already does this). Plus I’ve been saying for years that soon enough there’ll be a facial recognition crawler app where you upload a photo of someone and it shows you every picture they’ve ever appeared in. Although with how good deep fakes are now this is arguably less concerning.
Dictation in some cases sure, but it’s not really secure if you’re around people, and could also get weird talking to air all the time. I think if ar/wearable screens really want to take off were going to need an entirely new input method. Typing on a virtual keyboard is just so impractical, especially if you’re say on a train or something. I think it’ll be something like what I described, a lightweight wearable glove or fingertip sensor or something, and you input based on fingertip taps. You can keep your hands down by your sides while typing, don’t have to flail about in the air just to quickly google something or answer the text that popped up on your glasses. Or a physical little keypad that can slip in your pocket, but with few enough buttons that you can type without having to look at it, like t9 texting.
A water bear being 1/10th of the edge of a coin doesn’t seem right, that’d be like 0.2mm and probably still visible. Did you miss a stage?
edit I’m totally wrong, apparently they can be up to 0.5mm. Crazy. Althought they’re much smaller when young
