I had the same issue once and fixed it there. Sounds like it’s booting fine and just not putting anything on the screen. I looked at display settings first but I didn't see anything obvious, is there some setting that needs to be changed to make it display on the deck? disconnecting while it's on and hooked up to the TV also instantly blacked the screen, so it's not displaying properly even even on edit: tried manually lowering the res, still won't display disconnected victrix fucked around with this message at 01:11 on Apr 28, 2024 |

victrix posted:no idea, what's the method and what can I tinker with there that'd help? So when you’re in desktop and look at display settings, does it even see that there’s two monitors - the deck screen and the tv? If not it’s probably crack it open and check connections or RMA time. If it does then you’ve got some kinda hosed up configuration, and if it’s not turning up easy you might wanna just make the system recovery USB drive and restore it from scratch.

Gran Turismo 4 is great after figuring out how to get gas and brake on analog triggers. Normally it was mapped to the right stick, up (gas) and down (brake). It doesn't even show up in the game menu as that, only on the face buttons and I forgot it was like this. I mapped it in the emulator but I'm sure steam input would have been just as easy. This game had no small part in creating my love of cars (and career goal) that has died in recent years.

Don't forget the face buttons were an analog input in that game.

Analogue face buttons were such a cool idea but the only games I ever played that really made interesting and useful use of them were MGS 2 and 3 with the holdup stuff. Tons of games with driving had them for acceleration and braking but that’s not that novel.

GT has also been very committed to face buttons being at least useable as accelerate and brake, it's the default in GT5+6 and even an option you're given on startup in GT7. I don't know anyone who plays 7 like that but it's still a cool thing for people who've gotten fully used to that control scheme over 25+ years of playing GT.

Yeah and face buttons kind of suck being analog anyway IMO. I'm a button mashing neanderthal mostly and having very little travel like that doesn't really give the granularity needed.

Analog triggers on the dualsense with haptics and resistance are amazing - Returnal is probably the best showcase for that You still can't be a monkey and bash butan, but any game that has haptics on PC, I'll plug in the usb cord just for that (why the gently caress do the haptics need the cord on pc)

You don't actually need to pay anything, if you save all the gems it gives you for free during the story you can roll for whatever you want when you hit endgame B. The free characters are actually pretty good C. It's a turn based RPG with, IMO, much more interesting gameplay than Genshin

EVGA Longoria posted:Can you actually skip cutscenes/dialogue? Biggest complaint about Genshin Kind of? You can click through to skip dialog, but I think it uses the dialog cutscenes to load something in the background, because after skipping a bit it will stop letting you for a few seconds. Not sure if you can skip entire scenes because I haven't tried, I actually enjoyed the story so far.

You cannot skip cutscenes and most dialogue you have to wait for the line to partially load before you can skip it. Some lines you have to wait for a character to finish animating. And boy do these characters take a whollllle lotta words to say very little

It did something else I think about closing the map by re-pressing the map key, and that’s why I started looking at it.

Whether it's comfortable remains to be seen (but tonight I'll probably detach the joy cons and play with it on my little bed table like I did with my Deck, or use an Xbox controller) I love my Go. It's my game or do light tablet stuff in bed. But it also exacerbated my carpal tunnel quickly. No joke. I noticed my hand was dead after playing it for awhile for multiple nights in a row for weeks. Now I'm having surgery. Tldr, be careful how you hold your deck (or Go) at night.

Goons, what is a good slimline travel case for the Deck? I'm searching Amazon and it's being incredibly unhelpful, it's either chunky boys or shells that don't cover the entire Deck.

The Tomtoc hard shell is pretty good and solid while still being slim, but it does have a small gap for you to plug in a charger so it isn't entirely covered - it might be a positive for you though.

Yeah that's fine as long as it's an actual case, almost all the ones I'm getting results for are just shells that leave a lot exposed.

Apparently Microsoft is sending out a survey about handheld consoles and why people use certain ones. Now, they send these kinds of surveys out all the time, but to be honest, I find the idea of a locked down handheld kinda crappy these days. MS would be better suited to getting Game Pass running natively on Steam Deck than putting out their own handheld if that's the case.

Microsoft would rather continue to push the Windows handhelds while saying they're going to make using Windows on these handhelds less nightmarish any day now as soon as they can convince the Windows team to drop their 20 year old grudge against the Xbox division. The rumours about them effectively making a handheld Xbox Series S are very funny though.

After getting used to the Deck, the idea of a locked down ad-fuelled Windows handheld sounds abhorrent, just as an even more locked down Apple one would. Valve somehow stumbled on a near-perfect balance of openness for a mass-market product. You can pick it up And It Just Works for playing steam games on the go and that's still pretty magical in itself, people are still amazed to see it in action for the first time. You can also tinker with it and get almost anything to run if you really want it to, and someone probably already has, because the hardware is identical between devices. Linux actually works because there's none of the bullshit hardware conflicts and stuff that make it a nightmare for regular people to figure out. Thinking about it, a series of laptops and desktops running efficient standard hardware like Macs but with open software OS based on some flavour of Linux might actually be the sweet spot of contemporary computing, zero bullshit with maximum usability. SteamTop when Gaben?
