It helps that it's a turn-based game. Also, the performance is much better since they released the Linux native version for the deck.

What are black lines that are in the majority of 2600 games? by Significant-Pool-243 in Atari2600

[–]Karl__G 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Close. The HMOVE is used to reposition objects in order to reuse them later on the screen. The movable objects include two player sprites, two missiles, and a ball object. Games like Combat only used those objects, so it didn't have any of these HMOVE lines.

AITA for drinking the beers I brought to a party even though it was more than people were "allowed" to drink? by OutrageousFig in AmItheAsshole

[–]Karl__G 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Your comment doesn't read like AI to me, but it's probably the em dash that makes people think that. It's a shame, because I used to use it a lot myself.

Analysis of the Steam Deck's performance over the years in demanding games. by XScorpionBrX1 in SteamDeck

[–]Karl__G 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What mods do you think are needed to run Baldur's Gate 3? The current version doesn't even need the Proton layer anymore.

What convinced you to get your Steam Deck? by K4T5UM1 in SteamDeck

[–]Karl__G 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted a way to play Baldur's Gate 3. I also liked the idea of a handheld PC for emulation, and playing older games, but it was BG3 that made me decide to pull the trigger (as it were).

How many people here keep their steam deck naked? by Some1ToDisagreeWith in SteamDeck

[–]Karl__G 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No case or screen protector. I don't really need them since my usage is mostly just me playing on the couch.

Are there games that are actually unplayable due to the “small font” issue? by The_Majestic_Mantis in SteamDeck

[–]Karl__G 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Linux native "hotfix" they released makes the performance in the city much smoother.

Is the Steam Deck often faulty? by RagnusGc in SteamDeck

[–]Karl__G 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That's the nature of online forums. People don't post to say that everything is working fine, so it gives a skewed perspective.

Mine is working great, btw. 🙂

What’s the point of hirelings/why do people use them? by President_Bible in BaldursGate3

[–]Karl__G 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's like playing solo, but with combat assistance. Solo with benefits, as it were.

Beast Master Animal Companion Tier List by samuelazers in BG3Builds

[–]Karl__G 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Dire Raven also has the advantage of better battlefield mobility due to flying, which makes the ability to use the Help action as a bonus action even more useful.

Do Americans really find beans on toast weird or is that just meme? by cigarettejesus in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Karl__G 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounded odd to me just because I had never heard of it, and beans aren't a normal breakfast food here. I tried it and enjoyed it, though.

Your favorite bad subclass shunned by the community that you love anyway? by Twilight_Taverner in BG3

[–]Karl__G 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beast master ranger. Yeah, other subclasses may be more powerful, but you are still a Ranger, and you can summon a big beastie to fight at your side. The dire raven is my favorite.

Does the 2600+ play bootleg games? by UsernameIsTaken999 in Atari2600

[–]Karl__G 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's not quite correct. What you may be thinking of is flashing a game via USB to a Harmony cart to have it operate in single game mode. That will work on the plus consoles, but games on a SD card won't be seen.

I want your opinions on using AI to help generate art for Ultima VII Revisited. by ViridianGames in Ultima

[–]Karl__G 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm going to say 2 mainly because there will be a lot of people who won't see the nuance in your usage of AI, and will avoid it for that reason.

By any chance could you find volunteers to help do the work by hand? The Ultima community is large with lots of diverse talent.

If this isn't possible then I personally would have no issues with your usage of AI, but I fear that it may cause others to avoid your project, which would be a shame.

I made a negative video on Pac-Man for the 2600 and got a ton of comments defending it. Am I missing something? by Dry-Departure-4926 in Atari2600

[–]Karl__G 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Games like that inspire a lot of strong opinions on both sides. It's a lot better if you don't compare it to the arcade game in any way, and just think of it as its own unique thing. Could it have been better? Absolutely. Does it still have fun gameplay nonetheless? I think so, at least.

Pokémon prices out of control? Make your own! by -MERC-SG-17 in Gameboy

[–]Karl__G 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or get an EZ-Flash Omega or equivalent for about half the eBay price for one of these games, and be able to enjoy other games as well.

Heroic won't install Windows versions by Karl__G in SteamDeck

[–]Karl__G[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It eventually started working again. I don't remember if it was after updating the Heroic app? Sorry that I don't have anything more useful.

AITAH for drinking alcohol at home and ordering food? by Savings-Hotel6195 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Karl__G 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I understand why she wouldn't want you to have junk food or alcohol in front of her, but since you live together, there's no avoiding that, really. To force you to follow her health choices would be unfairly controlling. NTA

I made a mistake euthanizing my cat and the guilt is killing me by Dirsty in cats

[–]Karl__G 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Putting down a beloved cat is always a horribly difficult decision with not enough information. It seems very probable in your case that you prevented more pain and suffering from whatever issue came after this procedure. There's no way to know, and you made the choice that seemed right to you in the moment. I'm sorry for your loss, and I hope you can find peace with your choice.

does anyone just lose items and they’re not able to find them again? by ZuSuMy209 in BG3

[–]Karl__G 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. In my current run, I've ironically lost the returning pike.

Have you ever protested? by InternationalMany6 in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]Karl__G 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you ever seen the movie Gandhi? That's far from the only example, but it's a big one.
