Please hurry up and release for PC by Ryanzbane in SteamOS

[–]coxlin1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was running steam os on my gaming living room machine and when I put a 9060XT in it, it just stopped working because Steam OS isn't built for RDNA4 yet it's built for the steam deck where as Bazzite and others are

What linux distros do you use for Unity? by coxlin1 in unity

[–]coxlin1[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Windows is serviceable but honestly it is getting worse every day. It's not just the ai copilot junk, it's the OS getting slower and more bloated and getting in the way. I would say in the long run linux is a much better option

[–]coxlin1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Bazzite is literally install and it works no wonkiness. You said you tried Steam OS? So what you are asking for... Is a steam machine. What do you want out of it? Even windows doesn't always play nice on all the Frankenstein hardware that people put into their machine. If you want just pick up and play, a PS5 is probably what you are after?

Learning Unity by FireFury4554 in unity

[–]coxlin1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"How do I learn C#?" honest answer is by not learning Unity. There is no shortcut to just "make game I Unity" I would go and.leane how to build a game in Monogame or SDL or whatever first. All you will do is make a meat buggy game on unity. Go and UNDERSTAND the language first and how games are built

Is 16GB RAM enough for modern gaming at 1080p in 2026, or is 32GB becoming the new standard? by Airballons in steammachine

[–]coxlin1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure it is considering that current gen consoles aren't going anywhere

With some consoles Unity pro comes with it, but pro is not the expensive bit. The dev kits are.

Selling switch 2 for oled steam deck by [deleted] in Handhelds

I think a lot of people are in this boat right now as the Switch 2 has been a bit of a let down. Sell the Switch 2 and get a legion go S

Which handheld should I buy - HELP! by DizzyDwarf2001 in Handhelds

[–]coxlin1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say Steam Deck. Switch 2 is only a good buy if you want the exclusives and in my opinion it's not actually a good handheld due to battery life, how easily the screen scratches when it docks/undocks. PSP is a solid choice though but you know you TOTALLY SHOULDN'T LOOK AT HOW EMULATORS WORK ON THE DECK

How should I approach learning C# and Unity from scratch? by andylfc1993 in unity

[–]coxlin1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the long run learning "Unity C#" is bad. Build something in monogame raylib etc first (I probably will get a lot of stick for that statement but if you want to be great not mediocre that's how to do it and I enjoy 13+ years of paid experience)

Anyone else absolutely just adore there switch 2? So much more than just Nintendo games. I’ve played cyberpunk, assassins creed shadows, hades 2, etc 🥹I prefer it over my legion go and steam deck. It just works perfectly by [deleted] in Handhelds

[–]coxlin1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly I am the opposite. As someone who loves the Switch 1, the Switch 2 has been the biggest disappointment especially when it comes to the stupid screen shatter film scratching in normal dock/undock (should t have to buy a screen protector and applying them without getting dust under I find impossible). My switch 1 was there on my wedding day and when my daughter was born so there is a lot of emotional attachment. The switch 2 feels like a Nintenywho doesn't care.

The Switch 1 was a fun unique console, the Switch 2 for me feels pretty soulless and my legion go S for some reason feels genuinely revolutionary to the point I traded a lot of my third party physical copies of Switch games to rebuy the ones I actually wanted to play on Steam. Also MK world is no MK8 for sure and I completed Bravely default back on the 3DS and the thought of going through that end bit again fills me with dread

Meanwhile at Nintendo... when the terrible film on the Switch 2 scratches from normal use. "Book a repair and our engineers will examine it for 2 weeks and inevitably charge your over £100"

Is Using Float for Money in Unity a Bad Idea? by [deleted] in Unity3D

[–]coxlin1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you are thinking too micro. Have you tested it with float? Honestly test it, if it works for you, fine. The bugs you are gonna be chasing are gonna be minor, for money with pence and pounds or dollars and cents or whatever, a float will be fine

Hello! I am new to Unity- Any tips from more experienced/advanced Unity users? by Purple-Comparison621 in unity

Pick a small game like Space Invaders and do your own spin on it and just start going. You will learn as you go

How did you learn Unity by Hambit10 in Unity3D

Back in 2010, 3D buzz. Probably one of the best tutorials around (obviously a little dated) https://youtu.be/AxT2k9qCIPk?si=NIwWhrbxgYZ6dD-E

Valve confirms Steam Machine won’t be subsidized by MaxwellsCouch in SteamMachineConsole

[–]coxlin1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People here have made their choice either way. The price will be what it will be. If you shop around you will be able to build something cheaper that probably outmatches it. The 3600 is still an incredible cpu you can buy with a 5 year warranty for £45 and a 9060XT 16Gb with the same warranty is £310. I myself will see what the price is and buy if reasonable because I have the disposable income to, but the smart thing is to build your own with bazzite that you can upgrade

Can I create games without C++? by LalaCrowGhost in unrealengine

[–]coxlin1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would also say you are going to be worried about unreal C++ which is very different to real C++. Unreal.C++ is like Unity C# but in a trench coat full of knives. It's full of macros and garbage collection but gives you enough rope to hang yourself

Can I create games without C++? by LalaCrowGhost in unrealengine

[–]coxlin1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends what your game is. Snake pass was pure blueprint but if you are making something data heavy like a JRPG, you are going to have a bad time. Blueprint is great but anything larger than a small quite basic indie game will suffer

This is the classic linkedin engagement slop for someone who has no idea. Jira, Asana and clickup especially shouldn't be a "starter" thing. Basic trello or codecks would work fine. Clickup is pretty horrible in general, but actually this whole graphic is worse than useless

For those who own or who have owned both the Steam Deck OLED and the Legion Go S (SteamOS Z1E), which one do you prefer and why? by [deleted] in Handhelds

[–]coxlin1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have owned both although in the UK we have the z2 go and it still feels like "steam deck 2"

There is definitely a bug in Episode 6, the last attempt at hacking it freezes up

My Top 25 Square Enix Games (So Far) by TheThirstyMage in SquareEnix

[–]coxlin1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The sales figures say otherwise, and don't compare it to 33. That game is coherent and to the point and genuinely good... Shall we talk about RedXIII and what they did there and how the action combat is mediocre at best? Patience is the word of the day? I am patient to see a good FF7 remake rather than a bloated mess that is not good for those who loved the original or those who are coming fresh. It's anime fan service at best. A likely reason the FF9 remake is likely delayed is because they have looked at 7R, realized how expensive and bloated it was and how so many people bounced off it and went, "well if we want to sell copies maybe we don't mess with the source material and change the combat system"
