There's ui scaling on most modern grand strategy games from paradox so it works pretty well. I've played Stellaris and Victoria 3 on the thing, no issues outside of battery.

HopperUK posted:How did *that* go? Could you read any text at all? Absurdly well. It doesn't have any reason to be working as well as it does, basically. But then again 4Xes aren't exactly graphically intensive. I think it made me get a lot better at the touchpad really quickly since (for me at least), Stellaris is very much a mouse-based video game.

I had to follow these instructions to get Stellaris to launch. Note: the game itself works fantastically, it's Paradox's nonsense launcher that doesn't. Supposedly Paradox's launcher team got a bunch of decks specifically so they can make sure it works, according to someone at paradox on their forums. They also hinted at adding controller support, not that it's necessary.The Internet posted:

Game pass games work either streaming from a desktop or cloud streaming if you have ultimate. Either option seems easier than installing windows just for game pass.

Installing Windows is the easy part, Rufus downloads it and extracts it to the SD card for you, you never even see a Windows installer. Setting up glossi afterwards, is the annoying part.

Entering text to set up stuff (ie things not in game and not optimized for the onscreen keyboard) is extremely painful on the deck and I will just get my usb-c port expander and plug a keyboard in before I try that again. Just editing a couple lines in the launcher for gamepass xcloud was really frustrating!

Rolo posted:The switch was insanely good in 2017, playing BotW handheld was my favorite gaming experience since, like, Super Nintendo. This is me too. I played my switch a shitload but it's been collecting dust for a long time. The switch without a grip (I use a satisfye and it's great) sucks but it's easy to fix at least. Still if it were more powerful I think I'd like it as much or more than the deck. I don't use the track pads really and it feels too wide and heavy. I do like having my whole steam library and pretty much any old game I'd like on it though... But not having to gently caress around and just turn on a game and it just *works* is something that is huge to me at this point. I only have so much motivation to play a game in the first place these days and any obstruction to that feels insurmountable.

That would explain it. I guess I could go back to a stable build, I don’t think I’m taking advantage of any cutting edge features right now. I beat RE4R on PS5 yesterday and booted up RE Revelations 1 on my Deck for the hell of it. It is very apparent that it’s a port of a 3DS game, I tell you what.

If there are issues, chances are someone on reddit or wherever already has it figured out. If you have this months GPD XDPDX+ or whatever? You might be on your own

Talorat posted:??? It’s like the most popular system of all time, and broke into demographics gaming has historically been terrible at reaching. It’s a historic success by any metric. The Switch Lite turned my partner from someone who had never played any games in her life, including casual phone trash, into someone who recently got in a small amount of trouble because her boss caught her playing Elden Ring during a Zoom meeting when she had to share her screen. The Switch is kind of hard to justify once you've burned through first-party titles if you have access to any other kind of gaming system, but it's probably the best gateway console ever created. Also still the better option for someone who wants to play a lot of smaller titles on the go in a 1000% seamless and trouble-free way. The Steam Deck is better, sure, but getting the most out of it requires putting up with at least a bit of PC gaming bullshit.

Expensive and no games unless you were really into JRPGs and Monster Hunter clones If they’d paid Rockstar for a GTA or something it’d have done the business

Vita and 3DS were the first handhelds to come out in a post-smartphone world. Sony figured “more power = better” and it cost them. 3DS would have died right out of the gate if it weren’t for a strategic price cut and strong first and third party software.

History Comes Inside! posted:Also those loving memory cards sucked rear end and the larger ones were unreliable as gently caress This was the main thing for me. I was going to get a Vita but then I found out they had proprietary memory cards that were absurdly priced. Somehow Nintendo was more forward thinking in letting you just use a normal SD card. I bought a Vita tv sometime later for fifty bucks, forgot about the memory card thing and then never used it. Then I lost it in a move. I am still so sour about that.

the 3ds family is great systems. i love them. even tho they don't feel comfortable exactly they still feel great in your hand. definitive way to emulate snes etc for me. nintendo's gimmicks are there to force 3rd parties to do something different, and the two screens and 3d were maybe largely wasted opportunities for art directors who weren't quite creative enough to use it well, but it still keeps the games from being "whatever was popular at the time, and different inasmuch as it's a compromised experience due to system limitations" you know lots of personality still mad my 3ds got stolen i salute thee wherever thou art. i wish i could buy another one but i won't cause there's a million more justified purchases

hotkey https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/442777/paste-timestamp-hotkey quote:Under X11, you could use xbindkey to handle a specific key or key combination and have it simulate a series of keypress and keyrelease events (using xte or xdotool for instance). Which would work for any application connecting to the same X server and is active. ExcessBLarg! posted:For these two you might be able to do it with xmodmap, at least for desktop mode. Because X is, old, it has multiple understandings of what keymaps are, and xmodmap deals with one of the older understandings. But it's pretty straightforward for small mapping changes.

Not sure if this is that trustworthy of a site, but they are claiming to know that a new Playstation Handheld is in development. https://insider-gaming.com/playstation-handheld/ "Codenamed the Q Lite, the next PlayStation handheld is the next piece of Sony hardware that aims to be yet another piece of hardware that requires the PlayStation 5. Insider Gaming understands that the Q Lite is not a cloud-streaming device, but instead uses Remote Play with the PlayStation 5" I think that kills it TBH, why wouldn't I just use my phone and bluetooth controller both of which I already own?

I’ve never heard of that site so it seems weird that they’d get an exclusive scoop. Also, I think this would be confusing to the general public. People hear that Sony releases a new handheld, oh, is it a new PSP/Vita? No? Oh, it plays PS5 games? Kinda?? I’m imagining Wii U levels of confusion.

Well, in this case we actually would be talking about a PS5 accessory, so the general public's response to it would be appropriate, unlike with the Wii U. But I do agree, they need to be clear both in how they name this thing and how they market it what it actually is, assuming it's real.
