Steam News: An update on Steam Input and controller support
  • Before a lot of the compatibility like Steam Input and the like, some controller users had to download weird conversion drivers that made Windows see connected controllers as Xbox controllers. I did this with my old PS3 controller.

    Thinking about getting into OSRS again..
  • I consider completing Dragon Slayer 1 my own litmus test of whether I should upgrade an account to members. On making it stick, that’s a difficult situation. There is always stuff to do in OSRS. Is all of it fun? Depends on what you like. I used to not mind Agility, now I hate it, but it’s useful to train. I’ve realized I love PvM and am working long-term towards end-game bosses, butt combat training gets boring for me after a while of the same thing, so I switch it up and train something else or play something else. Dual monitors helps a lot too for AFK skilling, having something to watch simultaneously is fun to me. Podcasts can fulfill a similar thing, or just vibing to music.

    The biggest thing is knowing your limits to prevent boredom or burnout. It’s a gigantic game and a gigantic time sink if you want to make a lot of progress. If you get to mid game and can’t commit to longer grinds, l hate to say the game just might not be for you. But you can get a very good idea of the member experience with 30 days of membership, I think.

    On the future of SFSS
  • Check out novels written by Boris and Arkady Strugatsky! Roadside Picnic is my favorite, and spurred the creation of the STALKER video game franchise.

    Recommendation for a high-quality webcam for Linux
  • I recently found out about Anker and I bought a wired ergonomic vertical mouse as I had been experiencing wrist pain recently. High quality for a very low price point, and from the looks of it most of their products are like that. Also helped with the wrist pain!

    Discord to start showing ads in-app this week - Dexerto
  • While I’m generally against in-app ads, I think it’s interesting to note how many people in the comments likely did not read the actual article linked. It seems that every user can entirely opt-out of seeing the ads. While they are ads, they aren’t really so in the traditional sense: you stream a developer’s game to other users on Discord and you can get gifts in Discord. Not so bad I don’t think, though I don’t use the gifts much at all, and it’ll probably be for the types of games I don’t play.

    Obsidian’s Avowed Will Defy One Major RPG Trend (romance)
  • Good, hopefully they invest their time making the other writing aspects as well as gameplay, better. Romance isn’t a necessity in RPGs.

    I was already intrigued by this Disco Elysium-inspired, D&D-based RPG where you play as the world's worst cleric, but its demo blew my expectations out of the water
  • Haven’t read the article but the “worst Cleric” reminds me of an old YouTube series called JourneyQuest that followed the party of the worst Wizard ever, who was so bad because he had dyslexia and couldn’t read spells correctly.

    Steam keeps on winning
  • Not sure anyone in this thread knows what the word “monopoly” means. Steam has competition, it all just comparatively sucks.

    DayZ Happy 10th Anniversary
  • 10 years ago, DayZ taught me some very valuable lessons: do not buy into the hype trains, never preorder games, and rarely trust early access games. However I’m glad they didn’t abandon it, and fixed a lot of issues along the way.

    Dragon's Dogma 2 marks Capcom's first $70 base game
  • I really hate the pricing trend. But I’ve been waiting a long time for this game. Perhaps Humble Store will allow the Choice discount.
