Yup. I’m still waiting for the perfect controller that has gyro and bindable paddles through Steam Input. This is finally a controller that delivers those things, but then lacks such a basic feature like rumble. I really hope they have a pro version planned.
It sounds vague and will either end up being a very powerful tool or almost useless. If it’s the former, it would be gigantic win indeed.
Just to give a bit of context: This comes after two months of outright refusal to do even the bare minimum, like transferring the Steam Store listings for games where the devs had full ownership of the IP.
So yeah, it’s nice to see that this will seemingly be resolved somewhat nicely, but that’s about it.
Yup. I’ve always loved having a handheld device as a companion to my PC. The first few months with the Switch were great, but as time went on I just wanted a better designed Switch that’s also just a PC, particularly after getting hardware-banned for trying to fix some of the issues myself with homebrew apps.
I never would’ve thought that we’d actually get to see a device that’s real so quickly (anyone remember the Smach Z?), is actually pretty good and how quickly it’s now becoming its own market segment.
Unlike the article suggests, I really hope that the option “only vibrate when unlocked” means that it doesn’t play a notification sound when the phone is unlocked. Also that it’ll be enabled by default.
So annoying to hear tons of notification sound from a person who’s actively chatting, holding the phone in their hands, making the sound completely pointless.
These days, knowing some people, I’m already grateful if a person is just using the default notification sound. Two highlights:
That whole industry can cease to exist from one day to the next and nothing of value would be lost - if anything value would be gained for the average person
That last point can’t be stressed enough. The whole marketing sector is essentially a net negative to society because neither an actual product gets produced nor any useful service is offered.
I just got the (first) completionist achievement after 60 hours plus however many I spent on the demo. I might try a few of the challenges and try to win with the final stake at least once, but after that I think I’m done.
It’s an absolutely amazing game and has secured its place in my deck building hall of fame beside Slay the Spire and Wildfrost.
I was going to recommend chairs like these as well. Super comfortable, doesn’t really get dirty, doesn’t get hot in the summer and can be outfitted with a blanket in the winter. Usually not too expensive either.
On a semi-related note: Is there a commonly agreed upon term for games like ‘Vampire Survivors’ yet and does it have its own tag on Steam?
So far, I’ve only found ‘Action Roguelike’, but that one has a lot of games that are, well, action based Roguelikes, like ‘Binding of Isaac’ and ‘Risk of Rain’.
That article is a bit out of date and wasn’t really true anyway. The people who are creating Pretendo, who wrote the blog post this article is based on, did an update on the situation, specifically calling out the media for their sloppy articles:
With that said, some outlets did a less than stellar job at reporting our last post, not covering some topics fully or accurately.
TL;DR: Many of the issues have already been fixed, even going so far as there are now entirely new servers in place to act as a proxy for Amazons servers to work around some security related incompatibility issues.
Great bundle, but seeing Penny and Arzette is a bit sad as they must’ve really bombed if they’re already in a bundle. That’s just 4 months from release to bundle.
