Quoting: NezchanBut I'm thinking Arcanum, which is at a temptingly low price of less than CDN $2, and maybe Psychroma, which looks intriguing.

Arcanum is so amazing, but you kinda have to accept it's a bit older and has that typical Troika/Obsidian jank. Of note: if you decide to try a persuasion build, don't expect conversations to suddenly have a big **PERSUADE** disclaimed option. The persuasion options are regular conversation options which are always present, they just don't work unless you have the skill (and sometimes the stats) to make them work.

Picked up Palworld. Gonna have to back it up before the Nintendo lawyers take it down.

As a person with massive elongated fingers and hands which are mirror images of each other, I love both how chunky it looks and it being symmetric. If it shows up on the store tomorrow I'll buy two.

Another example of prior art: Monster Hunter Stories (2016) in which:

Hm... that parent patent reminds me of Summon Night Swordcraft Story (2003), where moving onto water automatically swapped you to using the water scooter. Also that car in GTA 5 (2013) which automatically changes to a submarine.

In other words, I'd be surprised if Pocketpair can't find prior art.

Quoting: officerniceDrives me nuts that the thumb sticks are never next to each other... Anybody got a good recommendation that's more akin to a PS controller but with "xbox" prompts for PC gaming? My brain refuses to translate PS and Xbox prompts #feelsold xD

Logitech F310? Seems like the one with the best GNU/Linux support in any case.

What is it with these weird alien distorted gamepads? My hands are mirror images of each other, why aren't these gamepads symmetric? Also: no touchpads, no Steam controller.

Quoting: GuestExclusive to one Store where you can buy it and then have it forever without any attachment to that store. That's as wide as it gets. Nobody is stopping anybody from just buying it on GOG.

Yup, if it's gonna be exclusive to a store then better the one store where when you buy it, you own it.

Quoting: hardpenguinValve I beg you make Steam Controller 2

Now that's something I can get behind 100%. If Valve sold a controller that was more or less the Deck without screen I'd buy 3: 1 to use, 1 for multiplayer, and 1 for safe keeping.

Quoting: saturnoyoFYI I can't follow any of those links, uBlock blocks them all.

If you really want you can use a throwaway profile, floorp makes that easy by including a profile manager but it shouldn't be too much of a hassle in other Gecko-based browsers.
