"Boring" is a very positive description in this case.

Yep. I remember the first time I updated from 40 to 41 on Kinoite, I was like "wait that's it ?". Upgrading to a major version was like any other regular system update; happened in the background, and when I rebooted I found myself seemingly on 41, no downtime, no waiting to install anything, same story this time. Atomic is the future for sure.

Upgrading to 42 on my Kinoite work laptop is too easy it's basically boring. Suffering from success :grin:.

Have a relative who just got a Steam Deck and he's a big Basketball fan so this ought to be up his alley.

It just came to me that there's probably a good opportunity for more indie sports games when paired with roguelike elements. Definitely sound way more appealing than the billion deckbuilders and Vampire Survivor clones out there..

It's interesting that HITMAN 2 specifically got a fix, since that game is almost obsolete with HITMAN 3 including all levels from 1 and 2.

Valve being abysmal in conducting proper survey statistics makes me hopeful they aren't (or at least aren't capable of) data mining our systems. :grin:

But from what I read they register as a dinput nintendo controller on PC through BT, which results in no analog triggers (bummer for racing games)

Why don't you use the USB dongle and play off that wirelessly ? it's way better than Bluetooth stability wise, (and range too, concerning the rest of your comment) and when connected with that dongle it works in X-input with the analogue triggers and everything.

I have the not-pro controller and it's my favourite controller for modern games, highly recommend.

Edit: I totally misread that the controller in question is the SN30 Pro, because they had their new Ultimate controller which just came out so I subconsciously replaced that with the SN30 Pro when reading the article. My bad.

So, to answer your question, just get the Ultimate controller (non Bluetooth model). It has hall effect sticks, is x input, and the dock is super sweet.

I'm in the middle of Thief Gold myself, the game is exceptional as expected, but I dare say it's starting to overstay its welcome with 35 hours of playtime and yet still a couple missions away, the Expert difficulty setting makes each mission considerably longer which lentghens the game's overall playtime. Even though like I said I really like the game, it's just a bit absurd for me to take (I predict) 40+ hours on a game that overall has way less story than something like Deus Ex which took me about 33 hours.

In searching for why did this remaster take them so long, I came across a prehistoric GOL article of all websites :grin::

What a nice coincindence. So the source code was lost ? That makes sense and explains all this wait, they probably had to reverse engineer a lot.

Web UI is still only focused for the Gnome version.

Wait really ? Why would the new installer be DE specific ?
