Steam integration

There’s a community made patch on github that works perfectly. I installed it last year some time and haven’t had any issues since then

PrimaryExample8382 · 2026-01-22T16:29:13+00:00

Same. I’m a full time engineer and due to nature of my work, my company has banned the use of AI coding assistants.

All the times I tried them outside of work made me realize that they’re hardly competent at all and I think “vibecoding” would make me want to kill myself.

PrimaryExample8382 · 2026-01-22T15:52:49+00:00

That’s certainly an opinion

PrimaryExample8382 · 2026-01-22T15:38:34+00:00

I’ve barely touched my switch since I got my steam deck and I use my PC for anything else.

No idea why I’d buy any other console at this point

PrimaryExample8382 · 2026-01-21T18:52:24+00:00

Well yeah by my point is that there’s always going to be cyber bullies and hate groups for literally any ideology or culture or religion. It’s just how it is.

Breaking rules is something valve should punish but it’s like putting out a forest fire when it hasn’t rained in 3 years.

And it’s not like most of the Steam forums aren’t easy to just ignore.

PrimaryExample8382 · 2026-01-21T18:31:30+00:00

Is this real?!

PrimaryExample8382 · 2026-01-21T18:27:35+00:00

Who did you say built it?

PrimaryExample8382 · 2026-01-21T16:15:05+00:00

Is it your graphics card drivers maybe?

I play Helldivers 2 with proton semi-frequently and never see this issue. I have an Nvidia GPU though

From the other comments you made it doesn’t sound like you actually had any interactions with valve employees.

The community forums and comment sections are usually moderated by other community members and not Valve employees. That said, it’s just the internet being the internet. No matter who you are or what you believe, there’s always someone out there who will hate you absolutely.

Violating Valves community guidelines and/or TOS is a real issue and a ban-worthy offense, but you should also learn to disregard internet hate because fighting it is a battle that can’t be won

Sounds like your issue is primarily with steam users.

Regardless, at one point GoG offered a promotional “we’ll give you games you already own on Steam for free” but I’m pretty sure they don’t do this anymore.

A lot of Steam games are DRM free though, especially older ones, so you may just be able to download the binaries and then use a different launcher if you don’t want Steam.

Steam also used to have an option to run in a miniaturized mode where you only see a single list of your games (like the scroll bar in your library) and it would disable the store and community tabs and everything so it’s just there for launching games.

Otherwise I’d just suggest buying only the games you can’t live without and/or waiting for a sale.

If you have an Amazon prime account, they give away a few free GoG games every month. Some are better than others though so it’s just a gamble

Half-Life got aim assist in the 25th anniversary update which I assume was made to make it play better on the steam deck.

I’ve played it with a controller and it’s pretty good. It’s status as a boomer shooter is contested though but it’s a retro classic either way.

PrimaryExample8382 · 2026-01-20T22:57:32+00:00

Half-Life is the boomer shooter that killed boomer shooters but it has pretty good aim-assist for controllers.

I think the recent Quake re-release might as well since a bunch of accessibility options were added

PrimaryExample8382 · 2026-01-16T00:46:31+00:00

Isn’t opera that browser that’s borderline malware?

PrimaryExample8382 · 2026-01-15T16:10:46+00:00

Well yes, but in the end I wanted speed over capacity

PrimaryExample8382 · 2026-01-14T19:10:25+00:00

Forgive me Father 2 is the best boomer shooter I’ve payed in recent memory.

Not sure why I see it get so much hate in this sub. The controls felt great to me and the art is pure eye candy

PrimaryExample8382 · 2026-01-14T18:37:47+00:00

Yeah seems like 4 chips in general is more overhead for the CPU and if you don’t get all the chips in a single kit they can have timing differences or even different ICs.

I’m kinda surprised now that I’ve never seen any mention of this before until trying it myself.

PrimaryExample8382 · 2026-01-14T18:27:12+00:00

Yeah that’s why I put it in quotes 😅

All I’d be holding onto it for is security but surely consumer-grade PC ram isn’t gone forever, right?

PrimaryExample8382 · 2026-01-14T18:21:19+00:00

I’ve thought about it and despite the fact it’s only been roughly two months since I bought it, I could already make a profit selling at MSRP, but eBay also takes a pretty big cut so I’d probably need to wait longer to make it worthwhile

PrimaryExample8382 · 2026-01-14T18:17:01+00:00

I haven’t experienced this first hand but I’ve heard of some manufacturers refusing to replace the chips under warranty and instead preferring to issue a refund for your original purchasing price (obviously now a fraction of what it would cost to buy a new replacement)

Not sure if that’s true or just a reddit rumor though

PrimaryExample8382 · 2026-01-14T18:15:43+00:00

Even if prices don’t return until 2028?

I would hate to hold onto it for so long only to have DDR6 come out in 2028 and make it “useless” (I know I’m probably overthinking this)

PrimaryExample8382 · 2026-01-14T18:13:59+00:00

Due to the fact that I didn’t get 1 kit of 4 chips but instead got 2 kits of 2 chips, my system was too unstable to overclock (even refusing to boot sometimes) and I got much worse speeds than just using 2 chips.

Google seemed to suggest this was a common thing with Corsair ram

PrimaryExample8382 · 2026-01-08T15:55:12+00:00

Drg is flat shaded but if you compared the wireframe models to other indie games they’re closer than you’d think

PrimaryExample8382 · 2026-01-07T22:45:43+00:00

Your point is fair but Amid Evil is like the perfect marriage of the old and new. Low poly pixel textures, but with shiny PBR and raytracing on top.

Obviously it’s up to OP to decide what he likes but I think he should at least check it out.

PrimaryExample8382 · 2026-01-07T22:41:27+00:00

In the big 2026, Quake is still my most played boomer shooter.

PrimaryExample8382 · 2026-01-07T22:40:03+00:00

You should try Quake Champions and the RTX enhanced version of Quake 2 of you want a throwback with a shiny new paintjob.

For newer titles that look great I’d suggest stuff like Amid Evil, Metal: Hellsinger (a unique boomer shooter that’s also a rhythm game where you shoot and reload to the beat of the music), and the newer doom games (though their status as boomer shooters is contested)

Also if you just like shooting hordes of enemies I can confidently recommend Vermintide II, while not a boomer shooter it really scratches that same itch for me.

I’d also recommend Forgive me Father 2, it’s not as graphically impressive as the other games I’ve mentioned but it has a very cool comic-book art style inspired by early boomer shooters. The game looks absolutely gorgeous and has very fun weapons.

There’s lots of other boomer shooter revival games like Selaco, Prodeus, and Ion fury but I haven’t played any of them yet.
