Different topic: are there any good Mech games as of late? My system cannot possibly handle Armoured Core 6 which is what I crave (I own a Geforce 960), but like there has to be other big stompy robot games out there? Doesn't even have to be first person, third-person squads are fine by me too. Basically if IntoTheBreach had FrontMission style customization I'd be in heaven. Just without the jrpg grind, please.

I threw Gearbits onto my wishlist at some point because it looked like some sort of indie Armored Core, but I couldn't tell you how grindy it is or isn't

Mechabellum maybe? It’s kinda an auto battler or something but the thread here seems to really like it

Mechwarrior 5 has its issues but I think it’s still pretty good. Lots of mods to add more stuff as desired as well.

Anyone have any recommendations for a good kvm switch or something like that? My idea was to get a steamdeck eventually and have something that can just switch my mouse/keyboard/speakers/monitor etc between my old pc and the docked deck.

my advice on this is that it tends to be much easier to get a reliable USB switch than to get a full KVM switch. usb 3.0 four-port switches are like $25. if you have speakers that can accept two inputs and a monitor that can accept two inputs, it'd probably be easier to just switch those manually

if you really just want basic 1080p60 for both devices then a KVM might be ok. if you ever upgrade to a desktop that uses gsync/freesync, though, you'll be in trouble since that requires displayport, and i think the world of displayport KVMs is $$$$

fwiw my desk setup is a 4-port USB switch hub, a monitor that has a displayport input for my desktop and an hdmi input for whatever i feel like plugging in, and speakers that have a usb input that is plugged into the USB hub. then i have a simple usb-c power/hdmi/usb-a dongle that i can plug into my work laptop, steam deck, or nintendo switch. i don't really plug in the deck unless i'm doing weird linux stuff that's easier at a desktop, but it works fine when i do.

it's been a few years since i've looked into the KVM world so i'm happy to be proven wrong on any of this if there is a better KVM out there now, fwiw

I'm specifically eyeballing this one atm https://www.amazon.ca/Monitors-Comp...r_hp_atf_m&th=1

It's actually my speakers that I worry about being wonky during this, my Logitech G560's act strange as gently caress all the time they are now.

The level1techs KVMs are $$$ but they work quite well including VRR. Alternatively just use a USB switcher and do the display via DDC events?

I've been using this one for the past year or so and it's been working well for me, though if you're using HDMI and not DisplayPort you're gonna need a different one.

Right, I should have specified I guess. I am using DP right now but my monitor and pc have hdmi inputs as well. I never even considered if the Steamdeck's dock had a display port or not (which I will now google after hitting post)
