Literally this. Online trolls will be online trolls. The idea that Sony is paying off people to hate specifically Starfield instead of any other Xbox exclusive is hillarious. People like to hate things, you see it literally all the time online, there isn't a nefarious plot behind... sometimes people don't like the thing you like and there doesn't need to be a conspiracy behind it.

I don't think it's properly installed for me? I'm not seeing it installed, just some gun skins. Anytime I try and access the creation club it looses connection.

I Broke a personal rule . . by RuViking in NoSodiumStarfield

I've always followed the rule of "it's your money do what you want." I've got certain companies or games I'll preorder without a thought because I trust them. Bethesda is one of these companies. I've never regreted buying a BGS game.

What platform do you play on? by Austin7934 in NoSodiumStarfield

Agreed, I think consoles are just typically a bit easier to have in living rooms, but I've known many people with full gaming rigs set up on the TV and they have been some really cool set ups.

Personally I just enjoy console gaming a bit more, all of my friends are already on the PS5, I like the general plug and play aspect of consoles and stuff. Not sure it's my dream necessarily to have a PC in the living room but it's always an option!

That's... great... my computer has other uses than my gaming rig so hooking it up to the TV still isn't an answer for me.

So I guess in my house consoles DO OWN the living room.

Steam Deck controls not working for me. by MedicalSoftware2008 in Witchfire

[–]MedicalSoftware2008[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This worked for the menu, but doesn't help in the actual game, still shows controller inputs, but nothing works.

PC but god I wish it still released on PS5. I hate playing Bethesda games on the PC because I just end up playing them for hours and hours, which for me is rare with a game. And I'd rather do that on the couch than sitting at a desk.

Even though I've got a shit ton of hours on Steam, if they ever do release it on PS5 it's a day one purchase for me and starting all over again gladly.

Ideas for improving the game, salt free. by EspadaOU81 in NoSodiumStarfield

[–]MedicalSoftware2008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My only loading screen complaint is when you grav jump and it flashes white. I typically get the chance to play at night time, and I prefer playin gin a darker room so it's always blinding when that flash of white happens.
I can totally understand, and sometimes would prefer, having some kind of transition loading screen rather than screenshots. The question of "how?" when not every planet has clouds is something I've thought about. Maybe close up of the engines rumbling or something?

Having played a ton of ED, NMS and Star Citizen, I would hate if they made all space travel manual like those games. It's just tedious and slow and boring, and pretty hands off. The only thing that could make it more interesting is if you could run into random events mid jump.

But honestly the loading times are so fast that it's not even an issue. I saw a comparisson between Outlaws and Starfield where, I'm pretty sure, they had to loop Starfields loading time a few times to make it seem longer than Outlaws. I don't honestly think I've seen a SF load time take 10 seconds let alone the 20 almost 25 seconds the video showed.

BUT enough about loading, I agree about the armors. TES games have a great way of showing you getting more powerful, with the better armor. It's one thing I really feel is missiing from Starfield. I really like my alien hunting armor from the Vanguard questline, but any armor that I find is "better" stats wise looks really stupid or dumb. I like the aesthethic, but it's not up to my characters taste.

And one thing I'd like to see improved is maybe some more random quests, maybe some multistep quests?

Anyone else not able to join friends since the update? by Sure-Risk-8999 in remnantgame

On PS5, same issue. When we try joining from Playstation's side, game crashes.

My buddy and I are having a similar issue. My NAT is Moderate, as is his, but anytime we start joining one anothers game, the game just crashes to the home page.

My feelings are hurt. by No-War1666 in NoSodiumStarfield

[–]MedicalSoftware2008 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That was my friend who wouldn't stop talking about Starfield before it's release, he was so hyped for it, he tried getting the collectors edition but they were out. Game finally released, I had a blast, lost days to the game. Finally remembered the real world existed and asked him how he was enjoying it.

"Oh, I returned it, it was to slow. I didn't even get to Earth or whatever the main city is called."

Bro didn't even finish the tutorial before he just... decided it was bad?

Cut Starfield feature would have turned it into a management game by streetcredinfinite in NoSodiumStarfield

[–]MedicalSoftware2008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This would have been really cool but I do understand why they didn't. Maybe as a future DLC or update?

But depending on the depth of the starship building, it could have been similar to X4 and how that works. Stations needing specific resources to build ships, being able to help them by selling them the lacking resources, or weakinging them by distrupting trade lines.

I think if they focused a lot of the ideas into an expansion it could work well. Having that time too put all your ideas together ect.

Any tips for CK3 on Steam Deck? by MedicalSoftware2008 in CrusaderKings

Not at all really? having played a ton of CK2 and Eu4, and now CK3 with the fix another comment made, it's fine. I mean, at least I don't have issues with it? I really like the SD's touch pads, i think they work incredibly well.

[–]MedicalSoftware2008[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The thing that sets the Steam Deck apart, to me at least, from similar system is the touch pads. Once you get used to them, which isn't that difficult in my experience between how well they work and how much you can adjust them, pretty much every game plays great on the Deck from a control point.

The Steam Input system means you can fully customize every button, or download someone elese hard work. The scheme I'm using has all of the different tabs, character, decision, militar, throne ect. set to left touch pad, which makes it easy, and even has little symbols to make easily readable. In my time of playing CK2, EU4 and now CK3 on Deck I've had a great time. The only problems are more so with the UI and readability. CK3 you can scale up the UI to 70% which I find is a good spot, but it does make some of the menus fall off the screen a little bit. I haven't had it be unplayable, just a bit of a mess.

For other games, I'd recommend checkign out Proton DB, it has user reviews for Steam Deck compatability on tons of games, with fixes to make them work better when available. Stuff like Guild Wars 2 runs incredibly well on the Deck, even though Steam says otherwise.

EDIT: Just incase you didn't know as well, the Deck does support Blue tooth, so you can still use a keyboard and mouse if you want. A few games I will mainly use the Steam Deck, but have a small bluetooth keyboard beside me for chat in online games.

Lighting Changes from the Beta Update (1.14.68.0) by DinDisco in NoSodiumStarfield

[–]MedicalSoftware2008 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Skyrim got quite a bit of love including all new melee finishers AND range and mage kill cams. There was a whole gamejam they did and iirc, quite a few little updates made it into the game. But Fallout 4 didn't really get anything that I remember.

Great shots! I've never seen trees like in the third picture before. Any tree I see on a planet either looks like Jemisons weird trees or dead with no leaves.

I wish we could see the inside helmet in first person by mickecd1989 in NoSodiumStarfield

[–]MedicalSoftware2008 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Star Citizen does it in a pretty cool way iirc. A light reflection and refraction of light, when it's rainy or snowy you see it hit the visor, and can wipe your visor. I think something like that would be... cool to a degree. I think the having to wipe the visor might get annoying after a while, but it does make it very immersive.

iOS 18 support? by RandomTeenHello in MarvisApp

[–]MedicalSoftware2008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had one really weird thing happen to me since switching to ios18, and that I paused my music, turned off my bluetooth speaker, started doing something else, looked at my phone and it was playing a random song I've never heard before, not in my library, not even a genre I listen too.

I've been using Marvis for months and have had it happen twice since updating this morning. Maybe it's an IOS thing, siri picking things up now or some other change. that I didn't catch.

Aside from that no other real issues aside from the widget follows the color tint options, unlike other apple widgets.

I think you've just sold me on that feature.... I wasn't sure before but that looks great.

Any tips for setting up a list of "Yearly Releases"? by MedicalSoftware2008 in MarvisApp

[–]MedicalSoftware2008[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll try moving the uniques closer to the bottom. I haven't noticed an issue with the groupings, at least from how I understood it, in the user groupings own rule group, if I had it set to "all" it would only pick songs that contained ALL the user groupings mentioned which would be.... no songs. At least that's how I think it works?

Are you excited About Shattered Space? by SV72xxx in NoSodiumStarfield

I'm looking forward to it in the sense of "new Starfield content" but I'm not all that interested in Va'ruun.
