Also Chinese state media put out an article talking up the virtues of video games. This may suggest they won't scrutinize the industry as hard compared to the past year. I think Steam Global will remain soft blocked, but maybe their government won't block the client. But with tensions between the US and CN where they are right now, who knows? :shrugblob:

My theory is that there are a few Chinese top men in the government that uses Steam and that's why Steam is still going in China.

In reality, global Steam should have shut down long time ago.

I'm pretty interested in this, but the enemy designs are kind of goofy compared to Monster Hunter.

I don't think it's too surprising, there are many Chinese developed games that sell well in the West, mostly on Steam and especially on mobile like Genshin..
And it's the only Chinese cultural export that is remotely successful outside of their borders, so they want to prop them up.
Until the next old stooge in charge decides it's not needed, anyway.

Not sure if I should pre-load Miles Morales, I think it will probably download faster compared to unpacking it.
 
PC Gaming Show about to start in less than 5 mins, I'm not expecting much from it (anything big would probably be at the game awards, right?), but SEGA is in the list of supporters for the show according to Gematsu (though I find it likely their presence will be about one of their strategy games?).

About region swapping.

Whenever a post is linked it doesn't even load to the post, just shows me top of the page. I then try to find keywords using the find function.

Found nothing. Mentioned it and all they said "works for me" lol while not even mentioning what they linked. Then I asked directly and nothing still lol.

So I will never know lol.

Been playing a bit of Warzone DMZ today and it's super dope! Don't really see a reason to get MW2, all the free stuff is more than enough for me.:)

NarohDethan What is that you play in COD?
Click to expand...
I downloaded Warzone as well so we can play! I think I might download it on Xbox as well.

And yeah unless you want to play the campaign, you're better off with Warzone.

This seems like the perfect controller for me, xbox layout, gyro, compatible with shitload of platforms. Compared to the 8bitdo ultimate bluetooth controller it doesn't have paddles but has the xbox layout opposed to the switch layout but compatibility with more platforms and can scan amiibos and can swap buttons

Amazon product ASIN B09QJN8ZD9
(apparently also supports linux out of the box in case you wanna pair it with steam deck?)

Decisions decisions....

edit: it works on linux in windows mode with steam if you're trying to use it in switch mode and you're not on kernel 6.1 it leads to a hard system crash it seems :thinking-blob:

Linux 6.1 To Better Handle "Cheap Clone" Nintendo Controller Knockoffs - Phoronix

www.phoronix.com www.phoronix.com

As mentioned in the title, Linux 6.1 will better support "cheap clone" Nintendo controllers. The Nintendo HID driver will now check the analog user calibration for the plausibility of it being accurate. Some "cheap clone" Nintendo controllers may report calibration values that are not possible like values of zero for min and max as well as the center value. In the case of being zeroed out, a divide by zero error in the kernel was happening with a cheap "GuliKit KingKong 2 controller". So the Nintendo HID driver with Linux 6.1 will make sure the calibration values are at least sane for better handling these knockoff controllers.

Got one of these today and I’m using it now. D pad is not the best, but the feel in the hand is excellent and the sticks/triggers feel awesome.

I also bought the keycap switching kit which is necessary to fix (visually, at least) the stupid Nintendo button layout.

The Nintendo layout being fixable is what's making me consider the controller tbh also the fact that you don't need an app/software to program it?
 


That porcupine design is surprisingly tame compared to the other monsters. Hope it's an exception. Hope this releases well before Capcom shows off a new cross/next gen Monster Hunter for their sake. Otherwise, looks solid like before, though this trailer's just about the contraption stuff so doesn't show much else.

8bitdo ultimate has a narrower/straighter grip shape too, some reviews on amazon and youtube mention that and depending on your hands, it might be uncomfortable or straight up intolerable. That's what stopping me from buying it in the end. Looks uncomfortable to me.

Do you think it would have a noticeable effect ?

Iirc, one of yuzu's developers also has a 5600x, and they reckon it should do for most games. Can't be too crazy with the supersampling, though. Not saying you absolutely need an RTX GPU, but if you can find one within your budget, get it.

Man Warzone solo is no fun

I've been wanting to give it a shot just to get my bearings since I've never played Warzone before but that's the thing that's been giving me pause. It's the same problem I had with PUBG, or most BR's really. Love playing them but it's miserable alone.

Though I'm thinking we might just have to work it into our BR rotation with Apex sometime soon. :face-with-stuck-out-tongue-and-winking-eye:

I personally would recommend against Gulikit, at least from my own personal experience. The sticks are indeed comfortable, but I've had two of the Gulikit King Kongs have buttons stick shortly after buying them. One of them lasted a little more than a month, lol.

I do love me some cheap third party controllers, but I stick with 8bitdo or Hori.

Apart from my Steam Controller, My 8BitDo Pro 2 has the most use amongst all my controllers. The only downside is that the back buttons aren't supported natively by Steam Input (it only detected is as a normal X360 pad instead of x360 elite pad, which has back buttons)

So does warzone 2.0 need total of 125gb or not because the installer on steam says 21.35gb needed?

Jesus tap-dancing Christ. This guy is a top tier scumbag. I recall him being attached to that Intellivision scam console a while back, so I figured this guy was a loser, but I didn't realize it went so far back. Good lord. What a tool.

How do you release all three Crysis remasters without cloud saves?
Click to expand...
I'd say probably the same way you release anything without cloud save support - for one of 2 reasons:
  • Absolutely no one giving enough of a shit about your release that they would spend (literally, not figuratively) 5 minutes enabling cloud saves.
  • Your internal processes as a company being so fucked up that the only people who would care even a little are not allowed to do it.
(At least this is true for Steam. It might / might not be more difficult on other platforms)
