Quoting: puddingslavealmost sounds like the classic Playstation game Legend of Mana might be up your alley if you haven't played that. emulation has come a long way since I last played it and it was already near perfect.Legend of Mana is also available on Steam [External Link]. While I haven't played it on PC or Deck yet, I'm sure it's every bit as good as it used to be.

Wonder when the next batch comes in. It's very positive, though, that there is a clear demand for high-tech, properly laid out (symmetric) controllers.

DiRT Rally 2.0. Every time I think I'm starting to get the hang of it I end up bumping the side at Waimarama Point and spinning out or turning in too much for a sharp turn in Argentina and coming to a complete stop or flying straight into a tree in Finland. I once tried for 8 hours straight to get a good time on a Finnish stage, and it wasn't even one of the long ones.
It's a bit like Dark Souls but fun (just kidding, of course, there's a reason I have all achievements on Dark Souls 2 _and_ Scholar of the First Sin).

Hype: The Time QuestGoodness me, now there's a blast from the past. POP3D as well... reading the list is like stepping through a time portal.

Basically seems like Sony's Dualsense but more to me, and it could conceivably replace a mouse in the same way a keyboard nub or trackball can.

Quoting: suchIt doesn't (apparently) have all the features a, say, Sony controller would have, and it won't replace a mouse.Let's see now, according to the announcement:
- Capacitive touch magnetic thumbsticks
- Grip sense to activate/deactivate gyro
- Twin touchpads with haptic motors
- 4 assignable back buttons

Quoting: PhlebiacI realize there are "premium-priced" controllers on the market, but $99 seems high.Eh, premium controllers (not talking about racing wheels, which can go into 4 digits, or VR equipment, which can hit 5 digits) are more like 250-ish USD, and that's without going into the silly 'expensive for the sake of being expensive' stuff like limited edition character controllers or gold-plated controllers or stuff like that.

I wonder if the sc-controller maintainers are planning to support the Steam Controller 2. Could be neat to use it for Luanti or SuperTuxKart.
Get some big games in the Fanatical Legendary Bundle like The Alters and Frostpunk 2

Might be worth noting about Rogue Trader: the Deluxe version doesn't include the season pass, you'll want the Voidfarer edition for that.

Quoting: clatterfordslimdo people actually use their computers, other than playing games and watching YouTube? Do they make spreadsheets, create stuff, open as many tabs as possible, push their systems to the limit, by having Steam games open whilst rendering or editing video, watching YouTube, browsing the web all at the same time, whilst using Wayland?I have tried some image generation models (EDIT: I mean local models) which pushed my system to the limit (both in terms of VRAM and regular RAM), and I had no issues. Programming, slicing up videos using ffmpeg, image editing using Krita, and any other 'actual' use of my PC seems to work perfectly fine regardless of my using Wayland.
