It took me a while to get used to them but using dual track pads for all games made everything feel so much better, I’m getting the new controller but I think there’s a good chance I’ll stick to the original Steam Controller.

If yoi take some time to tweak the settings the track pads can do anything.

PGA Tour 2k25 which was on PS Plus last month changes the colour during multiplayer to match your player in the leaderboard

The game turned to a turd by the time its successor came along, went up to 200GB download and full of the terrible MTX.

It started off in such a good place though

It will be useful for Indy devs that don’t have teams of amazing artists

Steam Controller really comes into it’s own when you rely on both touchpads.

I usually map the left joystick to the left touchpad on touch, and if I need options for the D-pad map them to the joysticks instead or even touchpad 4 button click.

For side scrolling platformers I just map the D Pad to the left touchpad on touch, and ABXY to the right touchpad on touch.

They need it, Lime have been eating their lunch

Did you pick up any of the DLC? I think there are different versions or additional DLC right?

I’m thinking of picking it up too, but not sure if just the vanilla version will be ‘complete’ enough.

And people complain about NIMBYs…

The construction companies are an absolute joke and the London councils should be ashamed of themselves

Air conditioning is terrible for the planet and increases temperature in the local area

I’m holding out for a Mörk Borg game

Yeah i agree, this Controller doesn’t look comfortable for any job.

I’d recommend playing 2 types of games to get used to it.

First a single player FPS with gyro working on some kind of switch, if you have a Steam Controller, this would be when you are touching the right touchpad, otherwise with a PS5 controller for example maybe it’s always on, but when you touch the touchpad it disables.

This allows you to recentre the controller when you need to so you’re not twisting around in your chair.

Second play a third person action game with some kind of shooting and enable the gyro only when you pull the button to aim, usually left trigger, this will help you fine tune your aim and get used to that enhancement. I really enjoyed Horizen Zero Dawn like this and Alien: Fire team Elite.

Once you switch the stick to a DPad and use both touchpad it really opens up

Yes

There are better ways than using Lutris

• Try with Bottles
• add Battle.Net as a non-steam game

Probably not the purpose of this distro but using snaps in this way are a massive benefit for embedded systems

99% of people don’t understand anything about Snaps except from thinking they’re worse than Flatpak

I used to use ~/devbut for years now I use ~/Workspace becaue Eclipse made me do it

Omg BB 🤕

Unfortunately there’s not a lot of choice when it comes to Linux games journalism.
