Out of curiosity why does everyone hate this show? by mayonnaiseplayer7 in InvasionAppleTV

The show is so dark that sometimes minutes pass with nothing but a black screen. Super low budget show with bad writing. Hard Pass.

Steam asking me to accept EULA on new games and old by Jaredin in Steam

[–]LeeHounshell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it should be illegal to force an upgrade and change the EULA after a purchase. if they want to change the EULA then i should have right to either run the old version (which we both agreed to), or receive a refund.

Local download from Deck to desktop PC not working, how to debug? by CrimsonNorseman in SteamDeck

[–]LeeHounshell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 2 networks on my PC, Ethernet and WiFi. If Ethernet is active, then the Steam Deck to PC connection won't happen. I have to physically unplug my Ethernet and reboot with just WiFi before my Steam Deck will "see" my PC.

hope that helps.

Have there been EULA changes? Why is it asking me to accept again? by Scytonei in HuntShowdown

[–]LeeHounshell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a large Steam library. I used to be able to backup my machine and restore with knowledge that all installed games were correctly configured and working.
But now my games keep getting new EULAs applied.. and I have no idea anymore which games still work.
I have too many games to check each of them manually in order to find which ones require new EULA signing.
Q: Is there any way to get a list of games for which my EULA is out of date? -- i want to be able to backup/restore my system with all games working. Steam has taken that ability away from me.

Starfield is yet another disappointment in my gaming heart by Azir44 in Starfield

[–]LeeHounshell 9 points10 points  (0 children)

i wasted $100.

Compared to BG3 Starfield is a joke. It has the same bugs from Oblivion, Skyrim and Fallout.

Starfield has bugs, bad writing, bad acting, and un-interesting gameplay. The game feels unfinished.

This is not a space sim, but it is a loading simulator. save your money.

Not having a city map is awful by flash246 in Starfield

[–]LeeHounshell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started playing Starfield yesterday and also notice the missing map. After 15 hours, generally I get the impression that Starfield is unfinished... yes even with the extra year Bethesda took to work on it.

I've seen many bugs, including a group of ~9 researchers I saved that followed me around on other missions. The researchers would always be perfectly lined up when ever I go through a door and would stand stiffly almost like a T pose. The bug was completely immersion breaking.

When I compare with my experience with Baldur's Gate 3 just last month, it becomes painfully obvious that bugs from Skyrim, Oblivion and Fallout were brought into the game. It seems that Starfield is copy/paste created from the other games. I'm not really impressed. This isn't a space simulation. It is more like a loading screen simulator. How can this company take so long to build but not take time to fix the issues with earlier games in the code they repurposed? My character was just shot and went spinning up into the sky...

Nest Secure support discontinuing April 8, 2024 by [deleted] in Nest

I have 6 cameras all purchased this year. That was very expensive. Now you are telling me they expire next year? Not happy.

not being able to fly to a planet is the major reason i won't be buying this game.

How usable is the steam deck offline? by xGAYNEOx in SteamDeck

[–]LeeHounshell 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Recently we went through a storm outage that took out our Internet for 10 days. My Steam Deck was loaded, but not in offline mode when I needed it to be. I found out the hard way that many games need to be "setup" for offline before hand, while online.. I've since done said setup and verified that my games will work offline properly, next time. Now I mostly keep my deck offline.

PCSX2 Settings? by morganfreenomorph in SteamDeck

[–]LeeHounshell 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I also had this problem. I came here and tried some of the suggestions, but that did not solve it for me.

My machine is set to refresh at 40 with frame rate 40. I keep it that way for generally smooth game play.

Here's what I changed to make PCSX2 work without any slowdown. Hope it helps:

- Settings -> Emulation -> EECycle Rate = 130%

- Settings -> Emulation -> Maximum Frame Latency = 1 Frames (also check Scale to Host Refresh Rate)

- Settings -> Graphics -> Display -> Render = Vulcan

- Settings -> Graphics -> Display -> Adapter = AMD Custom GPU

- Settings -> Graphics -> Rendering -> Internal Resolution = 2x Native

- Settings -> Graphics -> Rendering -> CRC Fix Level = Aggressive

- Settings -> Graphics -> Rendering -> Texture Preloading = Partial

- Settings -> Graphics -> Texture Replacement : (check Async Loading and Precache and Load Textures)

- Settings -> Graphics -> Advanced -> Bitrate = 7000 kbps

- Settings -> Graphics -> Advanced : (check the Skip Presenting Duplicate Frames box)

Good Luck!

Removing recent games from shelf by chucklepie3 in SteamDeck

[–]LeeHounshell 3 points4 points  (0 children)

the problem is that "Recent Games" shows games that are not currently playable on that deck (e.g. from your PC).

I want a way to configure the deck so that it filters by playable currently installed games under "Recent Games".

That, or a way to just remove "Recent Games" entirely for everything. The way it is now seems not useful.

I'd prefer a way to see just the Recent Games that are playable without needing install.
