Other sites have stats (who knows how reliable) on key issues and a bunch of the resellers have like 100k sales with .5% issues, so I'll gladly buy Dead Cells for 5 bucks and take my chances. I do hope that's not actively hurting other people though. But ethical consumption capitalism etc etc Businesses have no issue sourcing manpower and resources in countries where they’re cheaper so I have zero ethical issues buying Polish keys or whatever as long as they haven’t been bought with stolen credit cards. CDKeys has never really had that kind of issue. You don’t save much that often anymore since publishers have doubled down on region restrictions.

Monument Valley 1 and 2 are on Steam now! Hell yeah, I actually emailed the company years ago if they ever planned PC releases and they said no, glad that's changed. I never got around to the second game.

I did something similar with the devs for The Quest back when it was an iOS game and they were quite smarmy with me at the time, which I didn't appreciate. iirc the response was something along the lines of "why would we, steam isn't really popular and it would take a lot of resources to port it over, just get an apple device" or something https://store.steampowered.com/app/428880/The_Quest/ Glad it's on steam now but "2016" release date is ten years after it was on iOS, so it's kind of lost its relevance. I wish I hadn't accidentally deleted the email, I found them in my contacts but it must have gotten purged when I was trying to clean up my gmail

Got my Deck today. It's pretty cool. It's my first time using Steam though so I have a few questions: Is there a generally accepted way to delete a game's save data to reset settings and all? From what I gather I'd have to manually delete some files/folders, which is fine, but it's not exactly clear which ones. A further wrinkle is games that support cloud saves. For things like invert look, is it generally better to set that within a game's settings (if available) as opposed to in the Steam controller preferences? Does gyro aiming work well like it does on Switch? Control appears to support it, but it's not enabled by default.

It's my first time using Steam though so I have a few questions: Cloud saves is easy, you can turn that off per-game or universally in your steam account settings. As for deleting game saves, it depends on the game. Many games will have an option to delete everything in the settings, those that don't will probably require you either do it manually using their save system or to navigate to their save folder in the operating system and delete it that way.

Does steam os have a known issue with flatpak installs from the 'discover' thingie? I can't get file open and save dialogs to appear, which seems to be due to a lack of portals. Surely this would be standard right?

I'd usually just hunt online and I'm sure you'll find a forum post about it somewhere on the internet.

Game mode is for running Steam games, Desktop mode is for the KDE desktop and I don't think anything related to Desktop mode is officially supported.

Whenever I try to launch a PS3 game using Emudeck's shortcuts, it pops up for a split second and then the steam UI comes back, except the game still seems to be running in the background and I can't find a way to swap over to it. It's very strange behavior. Anyone else see this and know of a fix? I can load the games fine by using the RPCS3 shortcut instead, but I'd rather use the direct game shortcuts since loading emulators through the steam UI instead of desktop mode is jank. Also, I noticed when testing out Disgaea 3 that RPCS3 will really just use up your full TDP if you let it, to zero benefit. I turned it down from 15W to 9W and it saved some battery life without changing anything about the game being emulated. Though I'm sure you can't get away with doing this on actual demanding PS3 games (Disgaea is basically PS1 game tech at best) Dr. Video Games 0031 fucked around with this message at 10:28 on Jul 17, 2022 |

Weird problem with dead cells: Was playing last night in desktop mode, put it to sleep. Woke it today, game ran briefly, then minimized. When I went back to it, no audio. Reboot deck. Still no audio in dead cells. Uninstall it, reboot deck. Reinstall. Play Zero Dawn - that has audio. Still no audio in Dead Cells. Uninstall it again after browsing to local content folder. Delete remaining folder after uninstalling. Reboot deck. Reinstall again. Still no loving audio in dead cells! Go in via desktop, look at audio -- I don't see anything weird in the OS settings. No issues with other games; am on the verge of resetting the loving thing. Have not done much in the way of customization or anything weird.

Saw a 512GB Steam Deck for sale in the wild, only for a teeny, tiny sum of €1,000.00... Christ. From the same store that had PS5s at €850.00.

JazzFlight posted:Emudeck still relies on a ton of RetroArch for many of the emulators, so you still need to be familiar with the program’s quirks. Emudeck does like 95% of the work for you with scripts. Nearly all the RA config is done during the setup so that the only work you need to do is move games and BIOS to their proper folders. All the controller shortcuts, video config, picking the most compatible cores, etc. are done by the emudeck scripts. There's a quick reference table on the emudeck github that has all the controller shortcuts listed. The only config I have done in any emulators for 3 months has been to manually add cheats to the GTA PSP games for right-stick camera control and 60 FPS gameplay or open the quick menu to use the left analog in games that use the d-pad. Scraping to get metadata and screenshots, too, if you want to count that. Everything else has been open emulation station, pick game, play it.

Sucks there is no cloud save though. Also, also, I've been to Hong Kong since I've played the game so it's cool to sort of recognize some places but they took quite a few liberties. Like, it looks accurate at times when just walking around and some of the buildings are where they should be but the layout/map is totally wonky and scaled oddly. And of course, there is no Kowloon which is where we actually stayed. Kaddish fucked around with this message at 22:14 on Jul 17, 2022 |

Watch Dogs Legion is not good but it does have a really good videogame representation of London, which is a city I know well. And yeah, it's a bit weird. Like I can get anywhere from anywhere because I know the way, but it's off-kilter and there are chunks missing. Natural to game development but I guess most of the time I just wouldn't know.
