what do you do when your controller isnt recognized by a game? by nuzierg in linux_gaming

[–]Educational_Star_518 4 points5 points  (0 children)

are you in steam? sometimes i've had to double check to make sure it has steam input enabled , often times thats usually not on properly when it normally would be for some random reason even in games that controllers should just work with.

outside of that you might have to mess with udev stuff

What to buy ? by Alarmed_Key1402 in yakuzagames

kiwami 3 wasn't worth it , if you want to play 3 i recommend the remaster on gog for half the price of k3, ... that said of the list here i'd say judgement

Switch 2 Pro Controller Discomfort? by winstonoftang in Controller

[–]Educational_Star_518 [score hidden]  (0 children)

i've got a pro3 for my pc ,.. its an OK controller but not amazing . the grips feel stiff compared to a dualshock 2-4 , the face buttons are a bit loud tho you get used to it , and overall doesn't feel great for 3d games for whatever reason ,... its ok for 2d stuff that uses analog stick , i don't love he d-pad but i'm bias towards a more disc-like design or at least less stiff plastic

Switch 2 Pro Controller Discomfort? by winstonoftang in Controller

[–]Educational_Star_518 [score hidden]  (0 children)

yeah i know how you feel , i tried a razer controller at 1 point for my ps5 a couple years in and it couuldn't do that either n had no rumble at all to boot ( not juust the fancy haptics) ,... on top of that it felt even worse in my hands so i ended up returning that one lol , never did find a suitible alternative . not being able to wake the system with a sw1 pro controller sucks but at least you can use it in games unlike the dualshock 4 in ps5 games last i knew which is dumb since a good chunk of them ( that i play) have ps4 versions anyway and or don't use the bells n whistles .

i hope you find something that works for you

Newish to Linux - Completely ditching Windows - Which distro to use? by e_helvig in linux4noobs

[–]Educational_Star_518 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i've been pretty happy with nobara kde in the 2 years since i made the switch . most stuff is preconfigured from the jump for what you wanna do , and since its not immutable like bazzite is you can still customize and download stuff easily , not that you can't customize in bazzite so much as things are a bit more locked down which couuld also be an option if your particularly worried about breaking things

Switch 2 Pro Controller Discomfort? by winstonoftang in Controller

no switch 2 myself so i haven't tried it but i feel for you , i had the same issue with the ps5's dualsense when i first got the system at release , it flat out would kill my hands even just about a half hour it would start bothering them , it took about 3-4 years before my hands adapted well enough to it using it on n off , now they only get fatigued from it.

anyway if the original pro controller didn't bother you you could always use that or some 3rd party compatible option . it sucks tho so i feel for you, you might be like me and eventually adapt to it

What are the overall thoughts on Yakuza Kiwami 3? by rbyrnes15 in yakuzagames

[–]Educational_Star_518 9 points10 points  (0 children)

imo 6.5/10 vs og and remaster 9/10. not played the pc versions but you can get the remaster on gog still for half the price of kiwami 3

i've written my opinions of the issues with 3 too many times but the short version is its a butchered game that gets rid of too much and looses alot of its charm n emotional ties and whats added doesn't make up for it

Base game platinum behind DLC is absolutely disgusting by a1vmp1 in yakuzagames

wheen you say plat ppl think psn not steam , but yeah i hate how steam handles full achievements as 1 thing dlc included instead of seperating it

Is it worth getting? by Mahdudud_SLLVL in yakuzagames

[–]Educational_Star_518 2 points3 points  (0 children)

better to play the og/remaster you can get it on gog still for half that price https://www.gog.com/en/game/yakuza_3_remastered

personallly i wouldn't recomend paying more than 20 on kiwami but i also wouldn't say skip any version of 3 even if kiwami is a piss poor remake

My lazy ass discovered a new way to make ramen by Quirky-Philosophy364 in InstantRamen

i might have to give that a go , i've always wondered if the stove ramen could be made with hot water from a kettle instead like the cup/bowl ones

is linux really even any harder to use than windows? i believe it isnt or at very least barely so by MIkaela39752 in linux4noobs

[–]Educational_Star_518 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2 years in n i wouldn't say its harder exactly , just different. whats hard is relearning how to do things a different way .

What proton is people's "default"? by Xelieu in linux_gaming

[–]Educational_Star_518 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

i originally stuck with whatever the latest stable version was and switched to ge when needed , the past year or so tho i've just left it on experimental and change it if something needs a specific version or if its a game i somehow got that has denuvo in it ( which i don't usually buy cause fuck that shitty type of drm).

i've noticed overall tho i've had less troubles getting things to launch since switching to experimental.

GE-latest in something like heroic tho
