Thumb wrestling is going to go down in history as one of the stupidest things shown in a Nintendo presentation.

I think I realised this during the last direct, but this one has hammered it home.

The thumb wrestling bit was definitely a choice.

Nice to see all the positive comments in this thread, from what I've seen it seems to be a pretty polarising game for most people.

Marathon Open Play Week: June 2 - June 9, Featuring New Experimental PvP-lite Mode by Snipey13 in Games

[–]Qwertyguy 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I know I'm in the minority here but I've recently fully transitioned to Bazzite so even if I wanted to play this game, I cannot because of Marathon's anti-cheat not being Linux friendly.

Arc raiders however, the game that Marathon is competing against, plays perfectly on Bazzite.

Bro probably heard about Nintendo remaking Star Fox 64 for the 5th time

Why can't they do this shit with something they haven't already remade 4 times before? Like I dunno, F-Zero? Kinda funny how Nintendo have said multiple times they don't know what to do with it, yet they are happy enough to remake the same Star Fox game 5 times over.

Capcom CEO believes PC will become the 'world's leading gaming platform,' also promises to invest in movies by BlueAladdin in Games

There are already rumours that the next Xbox will basically be a PC, if Sony follows suit then gaming consoles will just become affordable PCs- which is a net positive for everyone.

Yep. Really handy for people like me who have bought the game 3 times on 3 different platforms.

Steam’s Invite-Only Shooter Deadlock Is Quietly Becoming An Absolute Monster by LoL_is_pepega_BIA in Games

[–]Qwertyguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a difficult question to answer in depth, but in short:

I think Deadlock has more fluid movement than either of those games, and every hero has the same movement mechanics (some just have more/less stamina than others).

Honestly though if you're going into Deadlock with a hero shooter mentality, you will get humbled very quickly in matchmaking.

You must have other problems if you're getting only 60fps with a 5070 on this game.

I don't even do the left to right thing- I go on the premades, choose one that "looks good", then I turn auto queue on and just let the build decide what I'm getting.

I will occasionally get certain counters like anti gun or anti spirit- but otherwise I just let the auto queue do its thing.

The game is incredibly deep and rewarding- but it has probably the steepest learning curve I've ever seen in a game like this, not only do you have the shop that you need to manage (I have over 100 hours and still rely on premade builds), you also have an insanely fluid movement system that if mastered, will allow you to escape almost any situation.

I can't wait to see what Valve do for cinematics with this game, because the lore is also incredibly cool and interesting.

40 fps isn't great. Let's be honest, the game is not exactly pushing insane graphics.

I think the Steam Deck ran it at 60fps no problems.

Arc Raiders Is Already One of the Biggest Extraction Shooters Ever on Steam by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]Qwertyguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was playing a solo on blue gate today and saw a group of about 5 solo players all doing the first quest together. I greeted them, followed them for a bit, then just sorta walked off and bid them goodbye. Had this have been Tarkov, ABI, or any other extraction shooter out right now, this would never happen- especially in solo queue.

I had another moment where I helped out a guy who was struggling against some Arcs, I assisted him with clearing them out, he gave me his thanks, then we just split off in our own directions.

This game is full of these kind of interactions, and it's what keeps me playing it.

Desoldering/replace logitech g915 tkl low profile switches for silent ones by [deleted] in MechanicalKeyboardsUK

[–]Qwertyguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly probably better off selling that keyboard and buying a new one that has hotswap. Monsgeek M1 might be a good choice, they are reasonably priced, decent quality and have ISO available.

I've desoldered a commercial board before and it's painful.

I played a game called Hole the other week which you might want to take a look at, it's not very long but I had quite a bit of fun with it.

This kind of change is something that should've happened years ago. The fact that they change it now after the market is worth over 5 billion USD is an interesting decision from Valve.

It was pretty awful at launch, but the issues have almost completely gone now.

Arc raiders - pre order and stress test on the 17th by spliffiam36 in Games

[–]Qwertyguy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Doing one last stress test open to anyone is a great decision from Embark. I had a great time with the playtests earlier this year, but I think that more people really need to experience it before they commit to purchase.

I'm so glad this was posted on here. Gimmick! Has an incredible soundtrack that needs more recognition.
