Quoting: dubigrasuWell, it was time to rip the bandage. That being said, hello (whatever X11 DE are still available), since I still need X11.
Why?
Ah, for my OG Steam Controller. On wayland the mouse is not displayed (is present but invisible).
There are some workarounds, using gamescope or extest, but none satisfactory. Also some games are still running somewhat worse on wayland (although I could live with that).
All in all I find wayland ready to go, but with some nasty papercuts.
Yeah this bug still bothers the shit out of me. It also stops the controller cursor from displaying properly in X4 when using Wayland, even on Steam Deck.

at least it's not the DRM I guess but anything Irdeto puts out as far as I'm concerned is akin to digital smallpox and I ain't interested

Re-Logic celebrate 15 years of Terraria - 70 million sales, cross-play soon and more updates to come

I REALLY want to see what Re-Logic could do other than Terraria. They're clearly an immensely talented team and I wanna see what else they can do. Sure Terraria 2 made in a more modern engine would be neat and I'd spend 600 dollars on it and put a quarter trillion years of playtime into it, but damn what I wouldn't give to see them explore other genres too with the same level of quality.
SDL adds expanded support for the new Steam Controller without Steam

Quoting: ScottCarammellgood, for as much as I think Steam Input is a great system it being closed-source and Steam-exclusive makes it something I'm weary about reliance on. I can't imagine why Steam Controller doesn't work with X-input out-of-the-box when all of their other hardware works with or without official Steam software...
Here's my crack theory: most PC players have Windows machines and most PC players buy games on Steam. Maybe the idea is that players will use the mouse mode of the Steam Controller to open Steam, instead of having to switch to their mouse and keyboard? That way, you can sit back on your couch or desk chair without touching anything but the Controller.
probably, but some way of getting it into X-input without any use of Steam would still be far preferable. that's probably my biggest issue with the controller so far; far from a dealbreaker, but a concern nonetheless.
