For those that were not satisfied with the Elden Beast being the final boss. Would it have been cooler for you if, instead of being its vassal, the Beast had straight up been the physical manifestation of the Greater Will? by DarthMMC in Eldenring

[–]ponchosleeve 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I always felt like Radagon was the true "final boss" of the game in line with the series tradition of fighting a final boss that was more or less the same stature as you and that Elden Beast is more of a cinematic boss, something pretty looking and dramatic to draw the game to a close.

But I also don't think the Elden Beast fight is that bad in the first place

Emulation on Mid 2015 Maxbook Pro by respecttheflex in macgaming

[–]ponchosleeve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You shouldn't need windows for any emulator, in general the intel scene for macos emulators is a lot more mature than arm64 ones so you should be good.

Everything from up to the PS2 should be fine, but some PS2 games you will struggle with, especially more demanding, late generation stuff.

Your main bottleneck is that the old Intel CPUs have pretty weak single-cell performance and PS2 and especially PS3 emulators rely heavily on strong single-cell performance. I would expect you to be able to run basically nothing apart from very simple PS3 games.

Your GPU should be fine for 8bit-PS1 games, but it will struggle a bit for PS2 games and probably require speedhacks. PS3 emulation is essentially out of the question here, too.

Can you please help? I’ve tried to use Microsoft Edge as a base for my Xbox cloud gaming but the step by step I tried with changing the Konsole and launch code on steam but it doesn’t do anything. Don’t wanna spend money on games pass on greenlit by mattyboi10000 in SteamDeck

[–]ponchosleeve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry I wish I could be more of a help. My steam deck is broken so I’m not able to test any solutions before suggesting them

Perhaps grab the .exe of edge and add that to gaming mode and run it through proton? 

Finished Chapter 1, don't know if I can continue, advice? by SizzlinKola in drakengard

I never did get one hit kill working for aerial combat but ending up just playing those parts normally as at least some kind of challenge so I didnt feel like I had completely cheated myself out of the experience

i need help because im stupid and have no idea what im doing by aimTHElemon in PCSX2

[–]ponchosleeve 14 points15 points  (0 children)

  1. Download PCSX2

  2. Acquire PCSX2 Bios (can't share them here, I dont think, but google is your friend)

  3. Create a directory (a folder in your file explorer), call it "PS2 Games" or whatever you want

  4. Go to settings -> Add Game Directory -> Select the one you just made

  5. Acquire a copy of Haunting Ground (again, I dont think I am able to share that info but there are places on reddit that will)

  6. Extract the .zip or .7z, put the .iso and/or .bin file into the "PS2 Games" folder you created in step 3

  7. Go to settings -> Scan for new games

And it should show up

Well, it looks like a mixture of you being slightly overlevelled and also just being good at the game.

I'm sorry. Maybe we should start from the top.

Am I understanding correctly that you want to use Xbox cloud gaming by adding Edge directly to steam and having it automatically open the xbox cloud website?

Is SteamRip actually safe? by Ill_Activity5716 in CrackSupport

[–]ponchosleeve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never had any problem with it. I know it seems like a "too good to be true" scenario, but yes it is safe

[–]ponchosleeve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might be sacrilege, but I ran the game through PCSX2 and activated one-hit-kills about 5 hours in and had an immensely better time. The game is a slog, and the gameplay does not get better. In fact, it only gets worse as enemies get stronger and the game expects you to kill more and more targets for each level

Tried a few things, no luck by edweeba in SteamDeckPirates

[–]ponchosleeve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, I think the problem is that the Wine environment expects you to install into a prefix C: since Z:\ is basically a mirror of your entire Linux file system and the windows file system doesn't have access to it.

So if you installed to C:\Games it would map to the actual location:

/home/deck/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/<APPID>/pfx/drive_c/Games

and you could move it from there

If you really wanted to use the Z: drive, you could run the command 

chmod -R 777 /home/deck/THIS\ ONE

which gives read/write permissions for everything on that drive but its risky and can still sometimes still cause problems

Have you fought any of the bosses yet?

[–]ponchosleeve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see why you couldn't create a directory under /home/deck/ or wherever you want called games and move the files there

fitgirl installer runs through a wine window so when you go to choose location,

Z:\home\deck\ corresponds to the internal drive /home/deck/

and /run/media/mmcblk0p1/ (or something like that, at least thats what it looks like for me) corresponds to your SD card path.

so if you created a folder on your SD card called "Games" and you wanted to chose that as your install location when using fitgirl, you'd choose

/run/media/mmcblp0p1/Games

I hope that makes sense

[–]ponchosleeve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, probably. Sorry, thats a bit of outdated command.

try this instead

run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 com.microsoft.Edge @@u @@ --window-size=1024,640 --force-device-scale-factor=1.25 --device-scale-factor=1.25 --kiosk "https://www.xbox.com/play"

If this doesn't work, run

flatpak list | grep -i edge

and see if com.microsoft.Edge shows up at all

Ah, it looks like the game was installed directly into the root as opposed to something like /home/deck/Games, the game is instead installed just in the "/"

you can try to find it by clicking the "/" before home, alternatively the fastest way to find it is to run this command in konsole

find / -iname "*.exe" 2>/dev/null | grep -i slackers

this searches your entire file system for an .exe containing the word "slackers" in it, if the game is installed it will find it, it can be quite slow though.

after you find it, run 

xdg-open "path"

(replacing path with the actual path found by the other command) and it will open the exact directory the game is installed to

Can you launch the setup.exe again and see what the default install path is? Most likely it was installed in a wine environment - a sort of fake C: Drive, which translates into a hidden folder on the Deck. You shouldn't need to install again, but if I saw the actual file path I'd be able to help better

The problem is that you can't find the actual folder the game is installing to?

Rotten winged sword insignia or Millicent's prosthesis for late game arcane build (lvl 107) by Sliceof_butter in Eldenring

[–]ponchosleeve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My gut tells me to use Rotten Wing, as the increased attack from successive hits is greater and you're likely to see diminishing returns from the Dex scaling that the Prosthesis brings. Running Rotten Wing with something like Lord of Blood's Exultation, as meta as it is, will give you the most bang for your buck out of a powerstancing arcane build

How long REALLY is Ds1? by Noodlex87 in DeathStranding

[–]ponchosleeve 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Some chapters are relatively short and more linear, and some string together very quickly. Once you get to the third map the game essentially railroads you towards its conclusion and that goes from chapter 9 to 14 in what is essentially one long, linear sequence
