That’s pretty damn neat to see it cross-formatted here!

Gyro on the LEFT stick is interesting. I usually have mine always on, but I guess with the track pad and everything you don’t need to reach for the d-pad?

This company sucks. It’s like they throw so many ideas and things at a wall and then never foster or care for any of it. And then they take away the wall so anything that relied on it gets fucked when the app isn’t available or works correctly anymore. And this is CONSTANT!

They deserve each and every loss. Pretty sure the only new developments sticking around are the Google Pixel phones. Who knows, maybe they’ll delete features for the old ones in the future too. Or remove support for their phones entirely and randomly leave.

You could try turning up the haptics in the controller settings?

If it’s shaders, you could potentially turn off downloading shaders in desktop mode. I don’t actually know if things are a Stutter mess anymore after many changes in 3.5 if you do that. (That async stuff)

“Consumers demand more and better graphics” Nah, we want optimization now thanks to the Deck. Games like Armored Core VI that are able to downscale fo. The Deck is REALLY nice while games like Remnant 2, which is an absolutely wonderful game, is completely unoptimized and only now can run on the deck ok after a big update for “Potato mode” graphics.

And yet some of the best AAA games of the past that can look better run at 60fps.

If anything, developers have gotten out of control with specs required to run their games. Jedi: Survivor is just ridiculous and more games seem to follow suit. Nintendo is obsessed with optimizing for lower end hardware, but imagine if they made a game squeezing out each and every ounce of what a game can be nowadays on newer hardware. We’d see some seriously amazing new optimization techniques as well as showing off the buffoonery that is the current specs situation. Hell, they already did it with Tears of the Kingdom anyways.

I’m just waiting for the new iPhone LongBeachGriffy vid

Man this is all so interesting to see so many unique situations testing the Fediverse to see how it holds up.

Shooters are wonderful with Gyro. Like Roboquest or Gunfire Reborn with just the right settings can feel amazing. But online shooters like Battlebit Remastered I definitely recommend using a bigger screen for such smaller details in the distance that could kill you.

Also the d-pad, although I have a very early release version, is atrocious. Only useful for inventory and not for actual older games or fighters because the diagonals require ridiculous squeezing to input. I might need to do a tape modification of something.

Other than that, the Deck is absolutely amazing!

It’s odd that they say Steam Link is a bad option because of video and audio decoding, but you can disable all of that and just stream inputs. But idk about Wi-Fi solutions. Sometimes my friend and I connected our Steam Deck to the main pc and we’d both completely drop inputs out of nowhere for 1 minute or so at the same time. (PC connected to ether net and all that)

I have no idea what that was, but boy a hardware solution or Bluetooth would be nice.

It might be because most of us Americans lick the boots of corporations for free or get in line to.

Spark the Electric Jester 2/3 are sick af!

Protodroid Delta is super fun!

Hotshot racing is a blast from the past despite requiring being online to even start for no reason.

Battlebit Remastered, but I do have a work pc incase they introduce the new anti-cheat to protect servers from DDOS.

I’m also thinking of getting into Ridge Racer for the first time, but MAN the car turning is WEIRD. Makes me want to start NFS Underground.

All about indies at this point for me! I found these after slashing my wishlist in half!
