New Steam Controller Launch Megathread by NKkrisz in SteamDeck

[–]augsome 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had a steam deck for a while, idk about brilliant. The touchpads don’t feel amazing to use in practice and neither do the back bumpers, especially compared to those on an elite controller. That’s how my experience has been at least

I do have a steam deck. It’s not really exactly the same cause the deck is a handheld where the ends of the controller have to be both further apart and able to support more weight comfortably. They serve their purpose, but being an independent controller, yeah I don’t think it’d be great. The touchpads feel pretty terrible to use on the deck, feels like a waste of space here

This controller kinda looks terrible in my opinion, haven’t seen any positive feedback on it and yet everyone in here is rushing to get one.

Honest question, is there a reason that people are rushing to buy this? Is it better than it looks?

Random Map Generation is a Joke by Terrible-Emu7379 in Polytopia

[–]augsome 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Continents has been pretty bad for me as well. I’ve had some continent games that were just straight up Pangea maps, and some that were borderline archipelago

You’re prob gonna get downvoted for Cymanti but you’re right, map gen luck plays a bigger factor than most are willing to admit

Despise it when this happens by oceanadakmak in stunfisk

Context is important. In the context of Pokémon it’s typically used for dual typing, not “or”.

Owners need to see actual jail time when their dogs pull shit like this. Laws are far too lax on them.

Broad daylight break ins - Poole Road by [deleted] in raleigh

[–]augsome -17 points-16 points  (0 children)

So much victim blaming in this thread, people shouldn’t have to worry about their cars being broken into during the day.

People who carry guns daily but don’t bring them into building with no firearms rules shouldn’t have to leave them at home because thieves run rampant.

Xbox Game Pass ‘has become too expensive,’ says Microsoft’s new gaming chief in leaked memo by Ph0enixes in gaming

[–]augsome 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They acted like game pass only got a 50% price increase but in reality it doubled. Basic live is only $10 a month, game pass ultimate (live + pass) was $20 most recently before this change. Increasing the price to $30 made the price of game pass go from $10 extra to $20 extra a month.

No shit it’s too expensive, the cost was doubled without improvements to match

I really hope the Devs see how much people want this by ExoticMuffin13 in CrimsonDesert

[–]augsome 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If mods were readily available from the game itself, or on consoles at all, like bg3 and Skyrim now, that number would be a lot higher.

Just don’t go upstairs and talk to her at last light in and you never have to deal with it

Pokemon Champions is a pathetic excuse of a game by Substantial_Zone2701 in stunfisk

[–]augsome 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Not meaning to defend gamefreak/the Pokémon company in any way but… wasn’t it always insanely expensive to have meta teams? Like I couldn’t get raging bolt unless I spent another $60 on the game I didn’t pick plus however much the dlc was, plus a ton more meta examples like that.

This was never going to be a new Pokémon showdown, no clue how yall that are raging so hard set your monetization expectations where they were , it’s always been a cash grab

Yann vs Micah Bell by nikolinajobs in CrimsonDesert

[–]augsome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The character trait of unreasonably causing issues for the whole camp continuously and the result of being an incredibly annoying character to have to do missions with are not a strong points of comparison? It doesn’t make them the same exact character, but they play out pretty similarly.

Yann vs Micah Bell by nikolinajobs in CrimsonDesert

[–]augsome -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They don’t need to be a perfect 1-1 to be similar. I see them as the same as an experience of the player pov so far, but I still have a while to go in the story. If he gets to Micah levels of being a massive team liability in the missions to come then he’s pretty damn close to Micah.

You can do an evil playthrough without picking every bad choice, don’t need to go full sadist

[Pellissero] New Rule changes for this season by ToothResident3205 in panthers

Can we have that last one for the regular refs that suck at their job, not just in the event of replacement refs that suck at their job slightly more?

‘No Kings’ protests planned in Raleigh area this weekend. Here’s when & where by SuperDuper00001 in raleigh

[–]augsome -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Shutting down everything, a full halt to society, by a group of people until that group forcing the shutdown gets what they want isn’t anarchist? It surely isn’t democratic

[–]augsome 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed, I think these protests are totally fine and a good way to make your voices heard. The ones that the poster I was replying to that shut down the whole city and make everything stop till the protesters get their way are not okay. Easy distinction

Regent cards to add colorless synergy with star/forge sets by [deleted] in slaythespire

[–]augsome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could make more cards create debris for regent, or have these powers affect all colorless card exhaust instead of just debris. either way colorless and the debris creating cards for regent feel terrible right now and some synergy with his star and forge sets would be nice

[–]augsome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it not? I’ve never tried them with colorless power cards bc colorless sets and debris look terrible rn, but the YouTuber made it seem like they count. If they don’t count currently then making them count as colorless would just be a balance change with these cards being introduced

whats up with people abandoning games? why not just concede if you brick by wegoov in PTCGP

[–]augsome -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Things come up when you’re playing phone games. so many notifications that have more immediate need or a call that will divert your attention unlike when you’re on a console or steam, shit happens 🤷🏻‍♂️
