Quoting: MennenthThis is being corrected. A Valve dev in one of the communities AL2009man mentioned posted this:Yay!
You'll also be able to change that on a whim using the new "Tilt Angle" setting, which virtually offsets the yaw axis to accommodate any handheld or controller and in any (pitch) orientation they are being held.

And with controllers that don't have a perfectly clear, perfectly well defined, entirely-consistent-with-game-conventions-forever forward direction, it's only really the N64 controller that's commonly likely to be held horizontally; modern controllers are much more upright than flat.

Quoting: tuubiWhile that might be mathematically true, looking into the screen is definitely forwards. Anything else is ridiculous.Quoting: CatKillerWhat it should be is that "roll only" means turning it like a steering wheel, and "yaw only" means pointing the Deck around the room to aim.Their definitions kind of make sense if they consider the base orientation of the deck to be horizontal or flat on its back, whereas you (and I'm inclined to agree) think that it is upright, with the screen facing you. That would swap the axes like you're describing. I guess they forgot that the Deck isn't a gamepad.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyLooking at that picture, the roll axis is clear, but which of pitch and yaw are which seems to kind of change depending how I look at it. One moment it looks like the Yaw stick goes down and the Pitch stick goes sideways, next it looks like the Pitch stick goes up and the Yaw stick goes sideways.Pitch up and pitch down are up and down. Yaw is side to side. Nodding and shaking your head, as another way to think of it.

Valve have it the wrong way round, so setting it to "roll only" takes input from the yaw axis, and vice versa.

Quoting: AL2009manQuoting: CatKillerMy community circles has been arguing about this for an week now, and we still haven't agree on which label is correct.Yaw vs. Roll Blend: you can now blend between "Yaw" or "Roll" mode.Hey, maybe they could get round to not labelling them the wrong way round in the settings.

Quoting: PhiladelphusIt's either that they bought a filter that only cost them €1... or it's mojibake for a "first order filter." They have had mojibake in their patch notes before.1€ Filter: Smoothed low level gyro noise without adding delay.What does a "1€ Filter" mean? Is that some technical term I haven't heard of? :huh:

They did try to buy Nintendo in 1999.
"Steve [Ballmer, ex-Microsoft CEO] made us go meet with Nintendo to see if they would consider being acquired. They just laughed their asses off. Like, imagine an hour of somebody just laughing at you. That was kind of how that meeting went."
— Kevin Bachus, former director of third-party relations at Microsoft

Steam Deck a 'stable target for a couple years' so no Steam Deck 2 for a while

but also work on the hardware side supply chain, retail presence, work with distributors to get the Deck available worldwide and expand it's audience so we're going to be focusing on that short termThat's really been the biggest flaw with the Deck so far: that huge chunks of the world that might want the Deck can't get one.

Quoting: benstor214Anyway, should I install Godot from Steam or from the repository?There's no "install," it's just a bare binary, so you can just grab it from the website Windows-style if you want.
