I finished Kirby Triple Deluxe! It's a great Kirby game and one of the best platformers for the system. Got to 57% completion, so there would be enough to discover, but I think I'll switch to a different game now. Over half of the 30 days of 3DS challenge is now done!
I feel absolutely violated. Me and @GothicHippie are playing Monopoly on the Switch and when I left the room for a beer she bought a property from me and used my controller to accept the trade. Can I sue? #Gaming
Going forward I think I'm going to have to ditch my #Videogame podcasts that don't feature at least one host with a kid.
Listening to twenty-somethings that have almost unlimited time and basically no responsibilities is just too unrepresentative of my own experience with life that I really struggle to relate or even enjoy their output.
I've really been enjoying the @crossplayblog podcast called #SpawnPoint, but I refuse to believe that's it for Gaming Parents?
@tashasounart I used to listen to an awful lot of Jeff back in the Weekend Confirmed days (god, I'm so old) but I won't lie, I fell off the Cannata train pretty hard a few years ago and have been unable to get back on it.
@64bithero Jumping in as in buying the game? Just wait for a FreeFly-event and see how it works on your PC 😃 On pretty much all PCs it runs really bad though 🙃
There is some really cool core tech that is not properly implemented yet that will bring up performance by quite a margin.
@bloodaxe I’ve played a few fly free events. And I know my machine has a hard time haha. I enjoy it every time I go out even if it’s always from scratch and I never get very far. Hopefully the new features improve the experience
@thegamerstavern I'm bit late for this post. I got into the story of Fallout 3 and can't let it down. Actually playing it on my Steam Deck with no mods. Run well so far. I suspect that be my main game for the weekend. Have nice gaming weekend everyone!
Ubisoft kończy wsparcie dla The Crew, nie zapewnia offline patcha, a do tego wycofuje licencje wszystkim graczom, którzy kupili grę
Twórcy Escape From Tarkov wycofują jedną edycję gry, zastępując ją inną, droższą edycją, jednocześnie łamiąc obietnice zapewniania dostępu do całego contentu tym, którzy kupili poprzednią edycję
Twórcy Helldivers 2 od 6 maja będą wymagali konta PSN do grania w ich tytuł, mimo że przez pierwsze parę miesięcy nie było to w ogóle konieczne, potencjalnie odcinając dostęp do gry sporej ilości graczy
After nearly 20 years of playing the majority of my games with xbox 360 controllers (first on the 360, now on PC) I'm finally forced to admit I need an upgrade. I've had some of these controllers for so long the housings have actually worn down. They're all on their second or third set of joystick sensors too. And it's annoying keeping up with rechargable AA batteries.
So, I'm looking for recommendations! I'd prefer:
Offset joysticks (eg, xbox) over symmetrical (eg, playstation)
Good, crisp input
Wireless, good range, either bluetooth or dongle (dongle slightly preferred)
Rechargable
Large-ish (I have fairly big hands)
Must work in Linux (primarily Pop_OS)
Extra back buttons are a plus!
I do have an 8bitdo Pro 2 controller, but I find it uncomfortable, undersized, and the d-pad is spongy. Cost isn't an issue within reason; I'd rather spend $75 on a really good controller than waste a bunch of time buying/returning junk.
@remidu appreciate the suggestion! How does it compare to the 360 controller in size? I had sort of assumed Switch controllers would be a bit undersized for me, but that actually looks very close to a comfortable size for me. I'll have to check into compatibility on my end, but I have paired an off-brand Switch controller in Linux and it worked fine (except for interting the X/Y and A/B buttons, oddly).
@notthatdelta
It's about the same size, maybe a bit bigger, and lighter. Confortable in my big hands. The only downsides : the ABXY buttons are flat (I preferred them round), and ZL/ZR are simple buttons (preferred analog triggers). If it wasn't for the Switch I might have gone with a new Xbox wireless controller.
