[Game] Leaked Patch Notes Confirm Starfield Compatibility with Steam Deck in c/steamdeck@sopuli.xyz
[–] worfamerryman@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

My desktop gpu is an rx470 4gb.

It’s only slightly more powerful than the steamdeck. I’ve been waiting for the day when modern gaming can comfortably be done on an igpu.

I think we are basically there now.

I see what your saying.

Someone said that valve does not want to upgrade the Steamdecks cpu regularly that way it can act as a baseline for games to target.

I kind of like this approach. I think so many devs focus on making everything bleeding edge when most of us would be happy playing with low settings.

Maybe the steamdeck will lead to further optimizations to these games down the line and maybe games that are early in development will try to target the steamdeck for the minimum spec.

Starfield and bg3 were too far along in development when steamdeck game out for them to optimize for it.

I’ll be happy to see how it runs though.

So you like $200-150 for a working system. Then the steam deck is like hey im $400 and way more capable.

At least the x key works on my phone.

My cell connection blocks some pirate sites. But I’m not using for that purpose, but the second my phone does it is the second I stop using that phone.

I can’t wait until phones can be docked to act as desktops.

I know Samsung Dex does this, but my understanding is that it’s not really well supported.

I have a genuine question.

My wife’s MacBook Air has 8gb of ram, my desktop has 16gb of ram.

Why do phones need so much ram?

How long until Android starts blocking access to websites.

I really do not trust these large tech companies.

What is a good 2 player Tetris these days? (beehaw.org)
 

My wife just got into Tetris and wants to play together. I have been bragging to her about how good I am at Tetris and now she wants to play together

We would like to play side by side on the TV, but we do not want any of that stuff where if person A does well, then person B gets random blocks.

Does something like this exist?

We could play on PC or on Switch.

What is the point of the MacPro? (beehaw.org)
 

I fail to see the purpose of a MacPro over a Mac Studio.

I know it has pci slots, but can someone tell me how they will realistically be used? Used in a way that can't be done with thunderbolt.

The pricing seems absurd compared to a Mac Studio.

What Pokemon Rom hack is best for me? (beehaw.org)
 

I lived Red and Blue as a kid. I think I played Gold on an emulator back in the day.

I really loved the challenge I had playing Red as a kid. I liked getting through an area with just a few hp left.

I never got hardcore into the newer games and have been so disappointed with how easy and hand holding the newer games have been.

I would like to play a romhack. Can someone make a recommendation for me?

I just heard about and tried Prime Hack. It is pretty cool. It lets you play the prime games with keyboard and mouse, so it feels like a modern FPS. (forums.dolphin-emu.org)
 

I have only played with it for a few minutes as I am about to start work. But it seems really great so far. I need to look into the control scheme to learn some of the controls, but it was not difficult to figure out.

I think it also supports controllers as well, I will likely play it that way at some point.

It looks like they forgot to finish their homework and submitted it hoping no one would notice, but it really stick out to me.

Modern Pokemon games hold your hand too much. (beehaw.org)
 

I am playing Pokemon Violet at the moment and it is a total bore. I have played the game so many times and I just want to run around catch Pokemon and battle.

I do not need another tutorial about what a Pokemon center is. Or a tutorial to tell me that I need to use a Pokeball to catch a Pokemon.

Can we get a "I've played this game 100 times" mode where it just saves the tutorials and lets us play the game?

Thank you for making this app. (beehaw.org)
 

I just wanted to thank you for your work on this app. iOS needs an app to access Lemmy. This is a great time for the app due to Apollo shutting down. I believe that your work on this app will greatly increase the number of people who join the fediverse.

An argument for USB-C iPhones (beehaw.org)
 

Yes, there are basically no reasons to not move to USB-C. Up until this point, I have been saying that it is a matter of convenience. But it is also economical.

The other day, my wife and I were out and planned to get lunch and go back home. We had outdoor seating and it was a beautiful day, so she decided to stay and work.

She did not have her lightning headphones and asked me how much a cheap pair would cost. Well, since it is lightning it would be about 3x as much as a USB-C pair.

I was so close to just pulling the trigger on an iPhone 13 since my iPhone XR is constantly freezing and has terrible battery life. This instance reaffirmed my decision to wait for a USB-C model iPhone.

If the iPhone 15 for some reason does not have USB-C or it is wildly expensive, I am just going to get an iPhone 13 and use that until is no longer works.
