To be fair, the first half of the last century wasn’t that great either.

After years of conditioning to play platformers with a D pad I just can’t play them with the Joy Cons. I played Hollow Knight with the 80BitDo SF30 Pro. Of course sometimes I died :D But I don’t blame the controller for that.

In some use cases the 4 buttons instead of the D pad on the Joy Cons are amazing. As you say, you have no false diagonals. I really like them in Tetris for example.

But in 2D platformers or metroidvanias like Mario or Hollow Knight? Literally unplayable.

After getting the Steam Deck 2 months ago and playing quite some time with it I used my Xbox One controller this weekend for this first time since it couple of months.

It felt weird. Just because the ergonomics of the Steam Deck are actually pretty good.

I thought about getting the Steam Controller (once it’s released). But I am still no fan of both sticks being in such a low position. The thing I really like about the Steam Deck is the fact, that all primary inputs (sticks, face buttons and d-pad) are positioned at the same height.

If I ever see it, I will try it. But I will probably forget about it before that happens…

Getting some specific European beer in Canada, that even most Europeans never heard of? Yeah, I can imagine that it’s hard to find and expensive.

A patient gamer is never late. Nor is he early; he arrives precisely when he means to.

And then there are those “I’m too drunk for this” moments and you just have to wait. You also cannot max out your drunk meter (?) which feels like a wasted (badumts) opportunity.

I actually just started Grim Fandango yesterday.

Looks like I got one of the last ones. Just got mine delivered on Wednesday.

Rayman :(

Userbenchmark ist kompletter Dreck. Diese Website sollte man besser ignorieren.

Ich finde der Ratgeber von Conputerbase ist immer ganz solide: https://www.computerbase.de/forum/threads/der-ideale-gaming-pc-spiele-pc-selbst-zusammenstellen.215394/

Halte dich für Linux einfach an AMD-Grafikkarten und nimm ansonsten den PC wie er da zusammgestellt ist und dazu das Gehäuse, was dir am besten gefällt. Warum der eine Lüfter jetzt besser ist als der andere, sollte dir in der Regel ziemlich egal sein und die meisten Überlegungen werden dir durch den Ratgeber einfach abgenommen.

Sonderfall: Du willst das WLAN deines Mainboards nutzen. Dann musst du dich selbst informieren, welche Mainboards funktionieren.

Knowledge is king in this game. How should I have known that all my teamwork feats are useless, when I pick Azata Mythic Path? That’s why I play on daring with respec enabled.

That’s not very patientgamers-like

Wrath of the Rightous. I’ll be back in a couple of months, cya

I would be surprised if it won’t be some generic action game. That’s not what I want though.

Grufig

I like good ol’ OutRun on my Switch. It’s the definition of an arcade race. For the Steam Deck it seems like you have to go through emulators for this.

Das ist doch nicht echt???
