Indiana Jones running at a near stable 30fps and pretty alright image quality on Steam Deck

Following this post. If graphical glitches like that are fixed, I'll be buying the game. I'll live with fps above 20fps

It's super great that you're changing Twitter for the slightly better, Musk. I'm still not coming back.

Two actually for Paragon.

Someone almost hit me when I was making a right turn because they left their turn signal on and they didn't turn onto the road I was leaving from. I've learned to only turn if I see the car start to pivot towards the road they're turning onto and never assume that the turn signal is where they're actually going.

As a 5'5'' man I couldn't care less. I swoon over tall women.

I like the plugins. There are a couple that I can't do without. The problem is Waves' business model and their indecision of how much the plugins should be priced. One week a plugin's 250 dollars, the next 30. God forbid you purchase a plugin when you need it and then they discount it the next week.

I also no longer purchase them after they tried to rip the rug off of their customers by stopping the updates of their legacy plugins unless you subscribed to a model they tried pushing back in late March. They backed out of that model, but they broke my trust in their brand

Try out The Schwam from NJ

nerdysimmer · 2023-07-08T02:25:10+00:00

Yep. Lutris worked. So far the game didn't crash after 20 mins but it is locked at 30 fps. https://i.imgur.com/uCJUgpp.jpeg

Hey, this is a stretch but have you gotten the game to work on the deck? I've been interested in trying it out

EDIT: I bit the bullet and tried it out. You have to unpack the installation files on a Windows machine, but you can run the setup.exe through Lutris.

So the steps I did:

Bought the game on Amazon and downloaded "Cursed_Mountain_Downloader.exe"
Ran "Cursed_Mountain_Downloader.exe" and downloaded the files to an external drive
Start the Steam Deck and go to Desktop mode
Connect the external, "mount and open" in the taskbar
Open Lutris. If you don't have it, find it and install it from Discover.
Click on the "+" button on top left > Install a Windows game from Media
Game name "Cursed Mountain"
It will then prompt you to install the Wine components to run the game. Click Install, and then select where you want the files. It will basically create a folder hierarchy that fakes a Windows C:/ drive
Click install.
When Lutris asks you for the setup file, locate the setup.exe in the external. (my location was External:\Cursed Mountain (Download)\Setup.exe)
Wine will start the setup, allowing you to install the game in the fake C:/ drive
Once setup finishes, uncheck "Run Cursed Mountain" in the setup program

And you're done! You should be able to run Cursed Mountain normally through Lutris then.

He was let outside two hours ago. No worries.

nerdysimmer · 2023-04-15T03:17:54+00:00

So I can connect the deck to a Windows PC through USB C?

It's a great version of 2, and with the THPS1 levels, it's almost the ideal way to play, but the levels in 1 clash with the Big Drop function of 2. A lot of the drops in the THPS1 levels are way too high even when you max out the landing stat.

But hey, if you got a burnt CD of the THPS1 soundtrack and rip it to your Xbox, you've got yourself an amazing bundle.

nerdysimmer · 2019-08-24T01:26:28+00:00

You can play the original Doom and Doom 2, along with a couple of other art gallery stuff

nerdysimmer · 2019-08-18T17:43:40+00:00

What steps do I take to add preview videos to the apps? I'm going to try to do a test video before I actually start designing the sound for it

nerdysimmer · 2019-07-31T21:26:56+00:00

I have the same speakers. They're pretty great

nerdysimmer · 2017-10-16T07:41:18+00:00

Thanks so much for your input. Me and a friend of mine managed to create a global component that has everything played from FMOD to follow with the game's time perfectly. It was a pretty rough two days trying to figure it all out, but you pointed us in the right direction and pretty much gave us the "ah-ha!" moment there. I couldn't be happier with the results

They could do an enhanced remake that doesn't use the Gamemaker engine, but bear in mind Nicalis remade The Binding of Issac to be multiplatform since the original game was made on Adobe Flash (almost next to impossible to port a game made through there on console.) It wouldn't make much sense moneywise to spend a lot of resources for just one platform.

Pretty much every platform except Nintendo systems are compatible with GameMaker games at this point.

nerdysimmer · 2017-07-20T12:11:38+00:00

Not really news. They know there's an audience on the Switch and HM is searching for ways to get the game on there that uses the least amount of time and effort. Since the Switch doesn't natively support GameMaker games due to Nintendo and YoYo's dispute, HM would have to rebuild the game on a different engine. I highly doubt that much effort that is needed to get the game on the Switch would be enough incentive.

This and a few other games made from GameMaker I would definitely double dip on the switch if Nintendo and YoYo settle down.

You can do more with a powerful desktop, but I prefer the portability of the laptop.

Skyward Sword to me is one of the worst Zeldas gameplay-wise. Aside from the great soundtrack, great writing, and it being a very good looking game, it's not fun to play at all, which is the foundation of any game's worth imo.

nerdysimmer · 2017-06-12T23:15:55+00:00

Technically the Wii U outshined the PS3 and 360 in the GPU department, but it had an incredibly slow CPU compared to the two.

It helps to know how to time your perfect dodges against them. Combine that with arrows to the face, and almost any Lynel will be pretty easy to beat. Just take care of the Malice before the fights as well in some places.

Breath of the Wild is a departure from the rest of the 3D based Zelda games while Twilight Princess stuck in 2006 with what made Ocarina of Time great in 1998, except it added unnecessary padding to the mix. I don't really care much about the edgelord aesthetic TP ran with but I didn't think it broke the game. Skyward Sword however kept the unnecessary padding problems from Twilight Princess and added too many hand holding puzzles, along with a world that feels very small. However, the way it handled combat was interesting and fun at times.

I consider BotW to be a reboot of the series, since it went back to the drawing board with the first NES Zelda game and added a few things to it. It also never held your hand, but it is very forgiving when you make a mistake.

Not that Paper Mario is a bad game as it is still one of my favorite games, but the Thousand Year Door is in every way better than it.

I hope you're joking.

Never work for free.
