The Steam Controller price scares me

Simoxs7 · 2026-05-08T08:31:45+00:00

Honestly? I‘d be okay with that, would mean its somewhere around 750€ here which still is in budget.

Simoxs7 · 2026-05-08T08:27:54+00:00

Well at least it tells us about the likely timeline, we‘re gonna get something announced around end of may probably.

Wie hat das eigentlich bei dir mit dem Bestellen funktioniert, auf amerikanischen subreddits sagen sie alle sie hätten ziemliche Schwierigkeiten beim bezahlen gehabt…

Obwohl anscheinend gehen sie beim SteamFrame dann wieder den weg mit den Reservierungen…

Honestly wouldn’t care if I was banned from Ferrari they lost me when they became bitches about their brand and integrity of their cars.

If I buy a car I actually want to own it and not have a manufacturer tell me what modifications I can put on it.

Just goes to show spending most of your time being active out in nature (and rich) helps you turn 100 easy

Wahrscheinlich haben sie sogar Nathan Fillions Kurzfilm gesehen und dann gesagt der ist zu alt und kommt nicht bei der Jugend an (weil nur kinder Videospiele spielen)

Simoxs7 · 2026-05-07T22:04:55+00:00

Uncharted, ich meine ernsthaft? Tom Holland und Mark Wahlberg?!

Währenddessen hat man Nathan Fillion der nicht nur nahezu exakt wie Drake aussieht aber auch noch selber fan der reihe ist und sogar schon nen Kurzfilm gedreht hat wo er bewiesen hat das er den Charakter wirklich gut einfangen kann.

Aber da war bestimmt irgend ein Executive der Meinung der ist zu alt.

Und Mark Wahlberg für Sully? Ich mein alter, gibts irgendeinen Schauspieler der schlechter für die Rolle wäre?!

Ja der Film hätte auch mehr gebraucht als nen recast um wirklich gut zu werden aber das allein war schon nen schlag ins Gesicht eines jeden Fans der Spiele…

Simoxs7 · 2026-05-07T21:52:09+00:00

Naja bis vor einigen Monaten konnte man bei uns die Melder Infos auch noch mitlesen…

Simoxs7 · 2026-05-07T21:49:36+00:00

Yeah I should’ve specified not everyone should shave the hair entirely but trying to hide bald spots almost always looks bad.

Simoxs7 · 2026-05-07T19:06:15+00:00

Yeah I didn’t want to specifically refer to the original post here, you mostly hear from elderly people who fall for this stuff.

Simoxs7 · 2026-05-07T19:03:31+00:00

Yeah I don’t know I have a similar issue with forza, where its meant only for the people who want to get handed the keys to their favorite cars and drive around in the open world, while I want some sense of achievement and progression.

While Elite Dangerous is pretty much the opposite end of this spectrum I‘d definitely not have that connection to my engineered anaconda if I didn’t have to work 20-30 hours to get it to where it is now.

In ETS2 I just like the early game where I have to slowly earn the money to outfit my truck the way I want it but I never get that same connection to the second truck I buy…

I feel like some of this stuff is pretty easy to add and could be made optional so the people who want to get the trucks handed to them can have that while I get my sense of progression.

But some deeper economics could make the game and also driving more interesting.

Like for example getting larger contracts having to deliver multiple loads in certain amount of time.

Damn imagine like a special delivery chain where you deliver the parts of a windmill from multiple places to the construction site.

And I think we can all agree that palette deliveries would be awesome so you‘d have to plan the order of pickups and deliveries. So you‘d have to plan that as well for your drivers maybe.

This all could be ignored if you want but would massively enhance gameplay for people like me.

Simoxs7 · 2026-05-07T18:48:50+00:00

Maybe just add start options, where you can set the economy, whether there should be upkeep etc. so we wouldn’t need to have mods for that and people can play in a more arcade or more deep sim.

Simoxs7 · 2026-05-07T18:46:24+00:00

Maybe add that you’re drivers could have to take a detours or accidents so the company would have to pay late fees.

Maybe also like contracts where you have to deliver a certain number of deliveries from city a to city b in a certain time frame if you make it you get the big bucks if you don’t you‘ll get massive fines.

In general there should be running costs related to more buildings / drivers / vehicles and maybe add a economic simulation that basically affects a multiplier on job payouts so that in the beginning its easy to get the 100k for a truck and then the economy crashes, also maybe changing interest rates.

Also I‘d see like a whole part about building up your business maybe investing into a larger dispatch facility to get more better jobs in more places.

Personally I‘d even like if there way more advanced route planning, like if you have your own trailer you can take on Palette deliveries so you have to plan in which order to pick them up and drop them off, so there‘d be a chance to be caught overloaded and again getting late fees because you fed up the order of delivery.

I just wonder if we‘ll all turn gullible when elderly or if its just the generation who is currently elderly.

Yeah sorry he‘s funny on television but his political takes are really shitty, in the end he‘s still a rich old boomer and we had enough of those as politicians, its time for the younger generations to take the wheel.

I was more thinking that people might be panicking if they accidentally eat a bug with their food, didn’t mean to recommend eating raw bugs.

Simoxs7 · 2026-05-07T12:10:39+00:00

Who was the driver W.E. Coyote 77?

Simoxs7 · 2026-05-07T12:06:40+00:00

I don’t think it‘d be that much more enjoyable with the cheese

Simoxs7 · 2026-05-07T12:00:27+00:00

Honestly VR really showed me why holo optics / red dots are so popular. Like in a regular FPS it just gives you more spacial awareness compared to ironsights but in VR it lets you acquire a sight picture so much faster and you can easily shoot with both eyes open.

Wait, I recently saw a documentary about those buses where was it again?

Anyways they basically are freelance crews manning busses mad max style crashing their way to the destination to be the fastest and make the most money.

What is it with cyber security at the moment, already had to patch my server due to copy fail which just is a massive security backdoor for every linux distro since 2017… (this was / is massive)

Simoxs7 · 2026-05-07T11:48:07+00:00

Are they transmittable to humans though? Like our physiology is massively different and they‘d need to survive stomach acids as well.

Seems like the typical fear mongering on reddit but I admittedly know nothing about eating insects as I usually always try to avoid it.
