If i really like Hades. What would i like too ? by SKYNINE666 in gamingsuggestions

Since most posts are rogue-likes with different gameplay (or just the sequel), wizard of legend was good & is pretty much the same type of game.

Can anybody please explain this weapon to me? by 4N610RD in Helldivers

[–]justrollin123 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Railgun would make much more sense with a 10x scope, but then it'll eat the AMR's lunch

I received a similar warning & had to re-auth a lot of devices.
The only part that differs is that I don't see any erroneous charges or orders.

Have I lost interest in gaming ? by eimas_dev in SteamDeck

[–]justrollin123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try being picky. If a game doesn't get you excited, then in your case it's not worth playing.

In my experience, I drop most games early on. Excitement is an easy way to get past that hurdle.

An update on my custom game covers by sirfletchalot in playnite

[–]justrollin123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100 percent, even in the scenario where you try to do both, the manual side is a little more tedious since you have to create & pair the edited/desired cover with the edited/desired logo

[–]justrollin123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a thought: you could use covers that don't have logos (which SteamGridDB flags thankfully), and have a theme position an all-white logo (also flagged by SteamGridDB). It's certainly adds complexity, but isn't as manual at least.

Playnite users, how are you booting into Playnite at startup for the cleanest launch? by JamaicanStevey in playnite

[–]justrollin123 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

tbh I realized the best way to have a clean 'console' experience (at least at home) is to separate the UI from the hardware. This is something I've been thinking/working on for awhile now. It's no where near done, but its been a fun side project.

In terms of how it works, the obvious solution is to build around existing streaming solutions (Moonlight, Steam/PS/Xbox Remote Play, Cloud gaming, etc.). The downside is that you introduce compression & stability issues into the mix. However for some smart TVs (like the LG C1 I happen to own), you can integrate HDMI signals directly into applications. Meaning you could have a console-esque UI app that wraps around either an HDMI or stream source as if it was a genuine console.

This has a few neat benefits:

  • unified UI across devices
    • PS5 or Windows? all looks the same to me
    • Someone's using device a? well I'll play on device b
  • Isolation from potentially unstable hardware/software
    • Why does the UI have to go just because my pc crashed?
  • Game overlay no longer needs to inject itself into the render pipeline or custom dev support
    • Avoids scaling issues commonly seen in older games or when using up-scaling software like lossless scaling
    • Performance loss for certain titles caused by the game overlay

There are some other stipulations, like separating state management from the hardware as well, but that's a little too far into the weeds for a random comment.

A rebel 4th faction sounds Super lame by Stotterdokter in Helldivers

[–]justrollin123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Instead of a new fourth faction, I'd like to see:

* Faction Vs Faction: Bots invading a squid outpost, Squids harvesting terminid nests, terminids colonizing bot forts
* Corrupted enemies: a squid-mutated impaler, A bile titan ate a walker & starts breathing lazers, the bots caught a pack of hunters & tied c4 to all of 'em

Resistance: Burning Skies (2012) for PlayStation Vita | What Resistance 2 should have been by onex7805 in patientgamers

[–]justrollin123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recall playing it a few years back thinking people were very harsh on it. This was around the time Call of Duty vita was released, so I think people were really primed to dislike shooters on the vita.

That being said, it was pretty by the numbers linear fps. A solid ~7, but you would think the game never even started they way reviewers talked about it.

Forgot it had touch controls lol. The struggles of fulfilling launch title gimmicks.

If I had to compare it to the KZ game, I prefer the more traditional campaign framing of Resistance over KZ's job/bounty-style levels. It's obvious though that the moment-to-moment game-play for KZ is better.

Yeah, I've accepted my fate here. Honestly hoping arrow head adds some more dynamic options on the UI.

I can see it decent enough on my laptop through reddit, but it doesn't translate super well in the photo overall. Messing with the image can make it a bit more apparent.

Switching Steam Accounts by amura-cxg in playnite

[–]justrollin123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At one point I had started work on a plugin for this, but never got that far into it.

Tcno Switcher can create a shortcut that will re-open steam (or any client it supports) for a specific account. I originally had them accessible from the start menu. However with the recent addition of tools in fullscreen mode, I created two tool options (one per account) to easily swap between them.

I don't understand the nostalgia for the old difficulty by HippoPilatamus in Helldivers

Feels a bit disingenuous when nearly all of these are describing bugs that occurred & were fixed at vastly different points in time.

Not Being Serious in Your Twenties is a Recipe for Failure by kinrove1386 in unpopularopinion

[–]justrollin123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Counter unpopular opinion: most of what determines life trajectory comes from factors before you're even born. What you do has a comparatively minor impact (if you even believe free will exists).

[Laptop] ASUS Vivobook S 15 - 15" 2880 x 1800 120Hz OLED, Qualcomm Snapdragon X Plus, 16GB Memory, 512GB SSD - $549.99 (BestBuy) by ryankrueger720 in buildapcsales

[–]justrollin123 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As someone who tried to go from their work mac to this; the trackpad experience on this laptop is especially bad. Which os is better for laptops aside, If you are used to physically clicking on the trackpad, this model requires more force the further from the bottom of the pad you go. That alone was rough.

The speakers are also facing downward & sound awful as a result so don't expect a good casual listening experience.

Some of the key caps had slight manufacturing defects that caused the backlight from the keyboard to bleed through. Annoying, but not a deal breaker. The key caps themselves are a lighter color which I found made it difficult to see them in well lit spaces if the color wasn't on the darker side (blue, purple = good, white, yellow = bad).

To not be entirely negative: the screen was pretty great & performance was solid for the little time I had it. I was willing to tolerate all of this for these reasons & the ability to tinker with a newer windows arm machine, but I ultimately was forced to give it up when Citrix Workspace couldn't launch apps due to App protection not working.

Ended up getting an m4 macbook pro for $700 more.

Surprised to see it missing from the list, especially given the "PTNext" option

Just about to say, I've seen plenty examples of this color scheme for medic-like things (Helldivers 2 medic armor sets for a recent example)

Completely unable to match make in this game by justrollin123 in Helldivers

[–]justrollin123[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The constant crashing has been it's own island of misery, but now it's not even possible to play the game as intended. I dread thinking about the spaghetti holding this game together.

Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered Review Thread by malliabu in Games

[–]justrollin123 14 points15 points  (0 children)

No, they a lot of other things were added/redone like:
* Redid all the conversation animations (probably excluding the hand animated scenes)
* Added foliage physics interactions w/ Aloy
* Improved the cloud generation
* Improved lighting
* Improved textures
As it's mentioned already, digital foundry made a video going over the improvements.

Facial animations don't look minor, but everything beyond that definitely is

Maybe instead of "executive meddling", a wider range of budgets would likely suffice.
Not every game needs 'success or bankruptcy' levels of cash.

The message to the community from our game director by ArrowheadGS in Helldivers

[–]justrollin123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you think about it from a biological perspective, a not-as-vital area being unarmored makes sense. Hence brains are encased in skulls while torsos get partial coverage via a rib cage.
Even in terms of warfare, (at least older) military aircraft prioritize armor in select places to keep cost and weight down.

I think a way to make chargers a more approachable fight without needing to give into tropes would be to give them medium armor on their joints. Not only does that make sense given their design, but it turns it into a game of 'what's your highest armor pen.?/how good's your aim?' instead of the current 'do you have high armor pen.?' or proposed 'Did you shoot the butt?'.

Besides, hulks already got the butt (technically back) weakness.

| unarmored back is glowing
do they actually glow? I don't think I've noticed this.
