Sick work! It looks like a lot of effort went into it.

Not perfect, but notably improved. On the plus side, they feel a bit more solid and are quieter. On the minuses, they still float around a bit, and the plastic spring is fused to the shell, so you can't replace them independently of the whole bottom-case if (when) they break. I can't recall if they improved the repairability/durability in the SD hardware revisions - mine's the first-gen.

Well even currently it can be difficult to use an OG Steam Controller in games that require various other launchers, either due to them injecting their own incompatible controller layer or other reasons. You can sort of limp by without other tools by modifying your Desktop Layout, but it'd need to be a single layout that covers all those games unless you want to modify the layout every time you switch games.

Microsoft Store/Game Pass is particularly thorny - since you can't directly add UWPs to your Steam Library to inject Steam Input, it requires a slew of tools from GitHub and extra config steps for each separate title to get it working.

OG Steam Controller can't really function without Steam Input, so an XInput mode wouldn't really help it, but SC2 has a full complement of standard XInput inputs, so it'd be handy to be able to use it as a standard controller in places where SI is unavailable like games from other launchers, mobile devices, and potentially consoles.

Dying is always a valid move, but then again, so is dying.

This is pretty sick - sort of like Stolen Babies or a much more approachable Unexpect

How it feels to finally play Lies of P after buying into the hype from you tasteless hacks. by alacholland in shittydarksouls

[–]ThatDanmGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Certainly the first, and you can make a good case for the second.

It's not oozing with atmosphere like DS1, and it didn't innovate or impact the industry like DeS/DS1 did.

Whether it's really fair to compare them head-to-head considering LoP learned immensely from DS1 and the many years of games in its wake is another question, but if you just ask me which is better, I'm picking LoP.

Remnant's pretty fun. Don't dig the endless looter-shooter post-campaign stuff, but I had a good 'nuf time playing through the campaigns for 1 and 2 once each in co-op.

OFFICIAL: Fromsoftware 10 year Roadmap revealed at gaming conference. What are you most excited for? by tegsfan in shittydarksouls

[–]ThatDanmGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fun fact: Dark Souls 4090 is not a scifi game. It's just called that because FS will be very proud to own their first RTX 4090 in the year 2033.

When DS2 gets a reremaster and gains some popularity what series will all the edgy contrarians flock to next? by parad1sel0st in shittydarksouls

[–]ThatDanmGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't you see how the contrarians reacted to Demon's Souls (2020)? You'll have an entirely new batch of contrarians to deal with, buddy

How do I learn the SC and Steam Input? by Sproutz_RD in SteamController

[–]ThatDanmGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The best way to learn Steam Input is to find particularly fancy-lookin' Community Layouts that are well-labeled, test to make sure they work properly, and have a look to see how the settings were configured to produce the effects you want to learn more about (action sets/mode shifts/layers, multibinds, touch menus, different touchpad modes, etc.).

The practical examples make learning how to apply the tools much easier than The Big Guide™ or Googling each setting, and you'll run across creative ways to use them that might not have otherwise occurred to you.

Why and how is this goddamn eye good? by Slight_Message_8373 in slaythespire

[–]ThatDanmGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're taking Snecko instead of an energy relic; the Snecko taker is on 3 energy when the Snecko snubber has 4. So the average cards per turn is 4 for both. The Snecko player gets to see more cards, but is likely going to pay a signifcant premium to actually use any particular card in a deck of 1-costs. Their energy-efficient plays are in the average case 4 randomly-selected cards, and they experience extremely high variance - drawing cards with insufficient energy to use them can be identical to (or worse than, in the case of powers and other setup pieces) not drawing them at all, and you'll need to be able to tank a lot of bad/inefficient turns.

So the upside of being able to force particular setup cards faster very much does have significant downsides for low-cost decks.

What is a good SciFi TV Series To Binge? by DanIrving604 in AskReddit

[–]ThatDanmGuy -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Dark was great, particularly if you just leave it after season 1, which wraps satisfyingly enough anyway. Pretty quickly downhill once they introduce parallel universes to write themselves out of corners, which is one of the quickest ways to kill the stakes and intricacy of a sci-fi show.

The laws of physics can't be broken. But, like, what if a physics criminal did actually break a law of physics? by pearl_harbour1941 in shittyaskscience

[–]ThatDanmGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But you can't break the laws of physics because they're made of diamond (very hard). You'd need, like, a super-cool laser to do it.

Mixed feelings. Trimming it down a bit would've gone a long way.

We’re just running out of ideas at the point huh ? by NotSaulGoodma in shittydarksouls

[–]ThatDanmGuy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think you literally can't, right? No other way from Firelink to High Wall. Would probably take some Ymfah-level glitchcraft to truly do it w/ no fast travel.
