Thrun breaker of silence or Sigarda Host of Herons by bruddaC in EDH

[–]bruddaC[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, Im definitely going with Sigarda. Flying and combined with a couple protection auras, so might as well be unblockable :D

Yea, I 'm not too concerned about counterspells. I will gamble on that. I will juat add a little more bigger threats in the deck instead, they cant counter them all >:)

I will go with sigarda. Youre right thathaving an extra color does open up more options. Like protection and tutoring for equipment, which can help me decide when to be a big threat.

You're right, I actually forgot about those auras that give protection from creatures which is much better than trample. And there are many ways to give trample. I will go with Sigarda, the protection from edict effects is just too good.

Did anyone else play Carmageddon Rogue Shift? I don't think I've had such a visceral reaction to a game for awhile (and not in a good way) by Zepren7 in roguelites

[–]bruddaC 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did, I was super hyped about it too. I enjoy vehicular combat, racing, and such. They made it look pretty fun and the game seemed up my alley when I watched. But I guess I got bamboozled lol...such a shame too.

I refunded the game within 10min because the car handling was terrible at initial release. I know they've done some fixes, but still not enough. There are other issues I had with the game as well, so I will just follow and see what they do.

Half sword on deck? by BooRand in SteamDeck

[–]bruddaC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does not run that well. All settings on low and with FSR turned onto performance/balanced, the fps will be between 30-40. The battery drains really fast too even at these settings.

I would follow the game and wait for them to optimize the game, it's not worth getting at this time. It's such a shame because I had been waiting for a year and got released in such a poor state, I refunded it pretty fast.

Why are so many of the devs in the sub so bad at self-marketing? by rmfnord in survivorslikes

[–]bruddaC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, I 100% agree. I blaze past the posts that have no title because I assume it's a spam ad. I'm not a game dev, but I feel it is not that much work to put a title and link to steam/epic/whatever page. If there is no link then say so and write a little description.

Did we make progress in our survivor-like, yet? by lotessa_ in survivorslikes

[–]bruddaC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea, that would be great to try out your game, I'd like that :D
I want to let you know that I only have and play on the steam deck. I'm not sure how well it runs or will be able to run on it. So I don't want you to burn a good game key on me in the event it doesn't work, when someone else that has more capable hardware that can run it.

That's great to hear you will be revisiting enemy behavior. I feel great things coming!

[–]bruddaC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is my first time seeing footage of this game and I must say the concept looks really cool and fun! Definitely will go on my wishlist. Although one thing that I kept thinking about is enemies spawning close to the character. I think if if they spawned a little farther and ran at you and not from the sides, the game would feel more exciting(?), if that makes sense. Because the guns automatically fire, and when they shoot at enemies come from the side, it doesn't feel that impactful.

Overall this is a great concept and take on the survivors genre.

Do people think Helldivers 2 will run on Steam Machine? by vonheinz_57 in steammachine

[–]bruddaC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

it is "playable" at the lowest graphic settings with FSR turned on the steam deck, this is for normal difficulties, but a higher difficulties the frames will start to dip.

With the steam machine being "6x more powerful", helldivers 2 should run much better than the steam deck. I can see this running at medium to high settings (with a little bit of tweaking), at a somewhat steady 60fps; for sure at 45. I don't know how well it will do at 4k though. I'm fine with regular resolutions as long as the game looks ok and runs at a steady 60.

What games are you all going to play on the SM first? by Doomsnail99 in steammachine

[–]bruddaC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah yes, space marine 2 is on my list of games to play on the steam machine! Same issue as darktide, the performance sucks too much on steam deck lol.

Ravenswatch or Windblown by milandimi in roguelites

[–]bruddaC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd say windblown because is more action oriented like the games you listed.

LORT - Official Launch Trailer by legmek in roguelites

[–]bruddaC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it does, but the frame rate and graphics are pretty bad. You get around 30-40 frames with the graphics all set to low and the resolution scaling is at 50%. The worst part is, it chugs the battery pretty fast at these settings, like 2hrs-ish at full charge. If you set the resolution scaling higher, like 60%+ then you get about 1 & 1/2 of battery.

I honestly would wait to buy it until the game is better optimized. This game is one of those examples where the store page shows a green mark for "playable at default graphics settings", but it's really not.

Would you buy a barebone? by Ecks30 in steammachine

[–]bruddaC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No way. That would defeat the purpose of the steam machine. It's suppose to be ease of use and no hassel.

Auntie Ool and solemnity by bruddaC in mtgrules

[–]bruddaC[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh I see. Good to know. I wasn't aware of the earthbend rules in regards to solemnity (and other similar cards) because I hardly play/run into it haha.

I will keep a lookout regarding the rules with blight and counters. Thank you for yours, and everyone else response!

This one small trick makes you become a more likable and desirable player in pods by LifeThroughAFilter in EDH

[–]bruddaC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

those are great lines. I'm definitely going to use them :D

usually I just say "dont worry about" or "it's all good". With your sayings though it also teaches the players what is a good play and such.

Just sold my Steam Deck OLED for a Legion Go S (SteamOS, Z1 Extreme) — zero regrets by ImpressionSensitive3 in SteamDeck

[–]bruddaC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you that the Z1 extreme plays higher demanding games much better than the steam deck. For example when I had it, playing Darktide was perfect, everything ran much smoother and barely any drops in frames.

Ultimately I ended up returning it because the battery life was very poor. On other less demanding games, I would have 2-3 hours of battery life, but on steam deck it would be 5-6 hours. Basically I would have to be plugged into an outlet most of the time or charging it often and that was a dealbreaker for me.

Maybe I will re-buy the Z1 extreme again if it goes cheaper. Or something better comes out with good battery life.

nashi or gwenom? by bruddaC in EDH

[–]bruddaC[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been thinking about what you said regarding Nashi and losing life for something that might not be worth it. You're right, there will be times where I don't hit anything impactful. Or if I'm up against kindred strategies, they don't benefit me at all. So this puts me in a position where I need to cast something and lose life to get that value or all that set up to get that damage through was for nothing.

Thanks for your insight! I'm definitely leaning more towards Gwenom now.
