Can't believe I have been conned into paying by giving out my email address hundreds and hundreds of times only to be rugpulled by Tim Sweeny.

I tried it out and was kinda disappointed that the painting in the tutorial just uses a magic paint bucket tool on the already-assembled model instead of needing to go through and mask out the separate parts you want to be different colors.

Moonring, a spiritual successor to older rpgs like some of the Ultima series is free on Steam. Developed by the co-creator of the Fable series: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2373630/Moonring/ quote:Moonring is a retro-inspired open-world, turn-based, tile RPG in the style of the classic Ultima games, but created from the ground up with modern design sensibilities. Splattercat did a 35 minute look at it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Krs1Kr38og4

Wanna come in and say that Moon Ring is pretty dope. I'm a couple hours in and really enjoying it for the price of free. Hell, I probably would have paid like $8 for it.

You're supposed to be precise with taps so default control scheme makes you control the mouse with a virtual joystick which is very uncomfortable. You can switch to a direct control with a touch screen but then it's hard to do right mouse button clicks and double clicks and map scroll, and sometimes you need on-screen keyboard. But on PC it's a great, huge game that you won't believe is free.

The enemies are massive bullet sponges, and the open world stuff is just tedious. Its one of the rare games I got a steam refund for.

I just went to double-check and make sure that we were talking about the same game. I did not have that problem at all, and I'm sorry that you did. Turn-based tactics are one of the few genres, in my opinion, that work well on mobile - most types of games are rubbish. I bought Liberty City Stories last year for my iPad Air 5. A very good port technically of a good game, but the controls were just impossible.

I always stopped playing when I got to those. Same with the matrix aliens in Crysis. It just wasn't fun to fight them vs the actual people in the beginning of the game.

I couldn't find it on the Play store or via Google. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.alessandropira.wesnoth114 The iOS version is supposedly much better than Android, it's a proper port on iOS while Android is just the PC application with virtual joystick slapped on top of it. This might be why JustJeff88 had a better experience with it than me. But I don't know, I never saw it on iOS. I myself play games on Steam Deck nowadays and there Wesnoth works just fine.

ilitarist posted:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.alessandropira.wesnoth114 This explains a lot. I have a crappy Android phone and an Odin, and I never tried that version because the iOS one works so well. The only games that I play on my tablet are turn-based tactics games and RPGs from Spiderweb Software. Incidentally, I wish that I had never bought an Odin. It's a very good machine, but it's just not powerful enough to handle the 6th and 7th generation games that I want to play on the go. I really wish that I had bought a Steam Deck instead.

JustJeff88 posted:I really wish that I had bought a Steam Deck instead. Steam Deck is really great. I've also played Spiderweb games with it and it works flawlessly, though it required some tinkering with the control scheme - bind Tab to left bumper, enter combat to Y, inventory to X and so on. It's a little bit inconvenient to plug in all the free games we're getting from Epic and Gog and Amazon, you need to restart SD to behave like a Linux PC and install proxy applications which is not that hard but certainly inconvenient. And Linux emulation doesn't always work flawlessly, but you still have thousands of games that work just fine - I've played Cyberpunk 2077 on it to stress out the performance and also a lot of Europa Universalis 4 to stress out the control scheme.

It’s pretty cool to see people doing screen mods on the steam deck. Would love to see an oled solution down the line. Or VRR for that matter.

OLED is not a straight up upgrade people often think it is, there's a percentage of people who get eyestrain and migrain from using it, and it also has issues with low brightness, and the max brightness is not so great, so it'd better remain an option, not a standard. VRR though would rock on SD. I play most games with 40Hz/40FPS and it looks almost as good as 60FPS to me, but obviously it's not enough for a lot of people and VRR would be a much better solution for everyone. SteamOS supports VRR if you plug a compatible screen into it so there's hope the next version of SD will have it and make the games that jump between 30 and 60 FPS feel much smoother.

I could see the eye strain thing being an issue. I have problems myself with monitors with odd subpixel arrangements, when it comes to staring at too much text at least. I really enjoy a good hdr implementation that comes with oled and think it’s more impressive than raytracing at the moment.

I don't know if a Steam deck will play everything that I want, but the Odin can't even keep frame rates up on a New Super Mario Wii. I'm waiting for the next SD sale, probably around Christmas.
