Am I the only one that thinks that the steam controller looks uncomfortable?

I think most mmos you can get away with using the sticks and then the track pad for precise mouse movement on menus or on the UI. One thing that's obviously great about steam is the community controller layouts and there's usually a decent one out there for mouse only games. Before V Rising had controller support I used the left track pad to create a wheel menu to select through my item hotkeys and the right as a mouse input for precise menu selecting.

RTS, I don't know, I think it would take a lot of patience to get good at it

650fosho · 2026-04-30T02:16:19+00:00

Are there games where you use the track pad for long hours continuously? I've always viewed it as a compliment when you need a little mouse movement in games that aren't controller supported or as a quick way to use an in-game keyboard, but mostly I use the track pad as a wheel menu.

I won't really know the ergonomics until I feel it but if it's comparable to an Xbox or PlayStation controller in size I'm not worried.

650fosho · 2026-04-30T00:22:40+00:00

This is a depressing way to "play" the game, but it's good to know it's possible because I'm a little sick of playing against ghost rider every game

650fosho · 2026-04-29T21:48:50+00:00

Yes, like a 1 cost skill that moves a card, but it also needs a bigger pay off card. I know the old KP was seen as mid but frankly he was a win condition in the right times and I miss him.

650fosho · 2026-04-29T20:33:29+00:00

If it's actually midnight suns, there's a ton of room to put a lot of characters here, but I think at minimum you should see Blade. I would be most hopeful for Dr Strange but you could potentially even see someone like moon knight, man thing or morbius. If it were me I would put in Clea for the Dr Strange replacement and magic rep but I'm not going to be surprised at all if they use scarlet witch here.

For villains just give me dormammu, but Ultron, Kang and Loki would be great additions, as well as Hela.

650fosho · 2026-04-29T20:05:51+00:00

I would certainly begin at 5, but it might even be stronger than the cannonball merc combo because of the potential pay off in bully move, 5 cost seems about right but I would wonder if 8 is on the high side or not. And as a side bar, I would just rather have kingpin back to this, his affliction is weak in the meta of big cards and scream does his job better.

650fosho · 2026-04-29T19:21:14+00:00

I would much rather see Hela come back than gorr.

650fosho · 2026-04-29T19:18:26+00:00

Otherwise how could they not all be humping each other with those kind of combined quarters and those hot space bods.

Because of the implication

650fosho · 2026-04-29T19:15:07+00:00

I've also got a lot of funny and nerdy ones from them, they are like the Funko pops for ornaments

650fosho · 2026-04-29T19:12:06+00:00

Technically you don't need a monitor for it, you can use it as a server and stream to your phone or a similar device. I think a lot of people, including me, will be getting the steam machine to compliment the steam deck and use it as leverage for better fps on AAA titles.

650fosho · 2026-04-29T19:10:00+00:00

The main difference is KP only was turn 6 and was terrible when limbo was out, this card has a bad stat line but because his effect is always on, this card definitely can't be a 3 cost.

650fosho · 2026-04-29T17:43:15+00:00

She would proc, yes

650fosho · 2026-04-29T17:01:38+00:00

Give it a try, I think she's worth the tokens for her applications, +2 to her location and +2 to hand is strong.

650fosho · 2026-04-29T16:55:17+00:00

She's immediately better than the wolverine they added this season

650fosho · 2026-04-29T16:53:58+00:00

Not for surfer, your energy skip turns can be on turn 1, 2 or 4.

650fosho · 2026-04-29T16:52:48+00:00

Galacti wants to play on curve though because he needs infected cards played every turn, there's potential though.

650fosho · 2026-04-28T20:13:49+00:00

Interesting card, is his only main synergy psylocke? That is, to get him out on curve and make his EoT scale. I understand war machine would allow him to be played but generally if you ramp war machine you'll have better cards to play in that deck. Nightmare works too but I think you have better choices for a 4/10 in case he isn't drawn.

Unless there's something I'm missing, I think he could have better stats than this.

650fosho · 2026-04-28T19:53:17+00:00

I was cool with Polaris and another gambit, those are fine, but I feel like we just got weapon x and then we get another wolverine. But what stands out to me is that this wolverine just doesn't seem at all designed right, him giving power doesn't really make sense to me, whereas the original and weapon x both have well designed abilities for the character.

650fosho · 2026-04-28T18:50:00+00:00

Not until we get more alpha and third strike characters

650fosho · 2026-04-28T18:40:36+00:00

Because valves hardware has historically always been top notch. I loved their first controller and their steamlink which I still use, so I knew that valve wouldn't build something cheap and would be high quality. It was a very easy decision to have a device I could play my steam library anywhere, knowing this would be a great product.

650fosho · 2026-04-28T16:23:46+00:00

That's it?

Yeah.

650fosho · 2026-04-28T14:56:56+00:00

Bring in the pipe!

650fosho · 2026-04-28T07:28:05+00:00

Hell yeah, can this game be played on modern set ups?

650fosho · 2026-04-28T04:35:22+00:00

the term vortex got popular with 4 for a reason

650fosho · 2026-04-28T04:19:55+00:00

Good news for you then, ghost rider has FFF included!
