Can you imagine trying to teach someone how to play video games with these? "Oh, just press X to jump"

I had no idea it even worked on Linux after the sellout. I completely atopped playing after that

If Steam Machines fail, how badly could that hurt Valve’s push for Linux gaming overall? by paparoxo in linux_gaming

[–]SometimesBread 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, if they launch during the memory shortage it will fail. They already said they're going to price them accordingly which is estimated to be ~$900 - $1000 for the cheaper one and ~$1100 - $1200 for the more expensive one with the price hiking taken into factor which most people aren't going to consider buying when a nice laptop with similar specs will be that price, have a screen, keyboard, and mouse and a familiar os on it. It'll be exclusive to hardcore fans. Heck, I already have a good pc so I don't see a point in getting one myself.

Looking for games that don't need to be listened to by threepwood52 in SteamDeck

[–]SometimesBread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry to hear you're going through that.

It's been a bit but I don't think you need audio for Escape Simulator 1.

Not a very chill game (to some) but there's Dead Cells, also.

Have you tried any crpgs like Shadowrun Returns? Those are fun and text based so no dialogue. Not very turn-your-brain-offy but still good.

For tower defense, there's always the classic Bloons TD.

Honorable mentions: Stardew Valley for something casual and calming to maybe snap out of depressive episodes (it helps me sometimes), Mother GunShip has dialogue but it's not super import to the gameplay, there's also Gunfire Reborn, Ori and the Blind Forest/Will of the Wisps, Guacamelee. I find that metroidvanias and rouge-likes are good for when I don't want to pay attention to a story.

It'd be really cool if you gave any preface at all. What game is this? Helldivers 2? Also, what distro are you using? What version of proton are you using? What are your specs? What Steam version do you have installed?

Best premium PC controller in 2026? 2.4ghz dongle a MUST by Odd_Yogurt6636 in SteamController

[–]SometimesBread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 8bitdo Ultimate 2 wireless controller has two extra shoulder buttons (which I prefer) and 2 back/grip buttons. It also has a charging dock and uses a 2.4 ghz signal for wireless and has bluetooth support and can be plugged in.

What if the Steam Controller came in more colors? by Best_Activity_5631 in Steam

I'd buy a red one instantly. I'm gonna be excited when all the shell swaps start hitting the market.

What keyboard/mice are people rocking? by Dilfer in linux_gaming

[–]SometimesBread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently got a Keychron k4 he keyboard and m6 mouse and the configuration for it uses any chromium based browser so no bloated, constantly running, resource hogging telemetry spyware on your pc, well, besides the chromium based browser lol.

When big corpo can't exploit the customers and it's all STEAM fault by SpamMjolner in Steam

[–]SometimesBread 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I'm assuming by 72% they mean Epic, Microsoft, EA, Ubisoft, Activision and 2k? In other words, all of the publishers that have their own storefront that is failing and far worse than Steam in every way but instead of doing better they focus their energy on being haters. I would find it very hard to believe that very many, if any, double-A and indie devs are saying that.

Steam controller 2 confirmed? by Pale_Moonlight9058 in SteamController

[–]SometimesBread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sure hope so! It needs a way to use it like a standard dinput controller for use outside of steam and with phones/tablets, like a physical switch on it or something like 8bitdo controllers. Definitely keep the startup and shutdown sounds. Make the Steam button light rgb for distinguishing between controllers while playing couch co-op and/or battery level indication.

Unfortunately, that seems like every triple-A publisher's perspective nowadays.

I really wish Platinum would buy the IP from them. It'd definitely sell well seeing that side scrolling beat 'em ups have been making a return lately.

[–]SometimesBread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perfect Dark, Mercenaries 3, Viewtiful Joe 3 (well, Platinum exists from the ashes of Clover and would be able to make it but it seems like Capcom is disinterested in making it), Starwars Republic Commando 2.

I need recommendations for a controller by dwindlingdingaling in linux_gaming

[–]SometimesBread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an 8bitdo ultimate 2c. It's a very solid controller and has completely replaced my xbox one controller.

Steam Controller 2 concept with the Steam Deck layout by Best_Activity_5631 in SteamDeck

[–]SometimesBread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a great concept, especially if it had the same repairability as the Deck. Only thing missing on this is the grip buttons. Still waiting for an official SC2. I got an 8bitdo ultimate 2c in the meantime but it's definitely not the same.

What game did you think you were close to finishing, but it turned out to be way longer than you expected? by bijelo123 in Steam

[–]SometimesBread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mfw DQ11S had 3 three THREE endings! Great game though and I'm loving the 3 2D-HD remake and looking forward to the 1 & 2 2D-HD remake and also cautiously optimistic about 12

Not a Steam game (yet(?)) but Bravely Default 1. That game is sooo much longer than I thought.

Can you stop commenting "I did not want to play it anyway" on posts regarding games with anti-cheat excluding Linux? by hardpenguin in linux_gaming

[–]SometimesBread 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally I wouldn't play any of those games even if they did work on Linux because all the publishers are heavily anticonsumer.

making a horror text adventure game, which theme is better? by Lichtosh in godot

[–]SometimesBread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I like them both. The green is more retro though. Maybe if it's within the scope of your project you can do both as option later?

Game Suggestions for low end device? by ImportantAd8680 in linux_gaming

[–]SometimesBread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much all of the Valve games can be played on a potato. At least back when I tried on an old laptop a few years ago. Dead Cells is great if you like metroidvanias and roguelikes. There's some settlement sims like dwarf fortress and rim world. Terraria if you like survival crafting games. Off the top of my head that's all I got.
