- Comment on Steam Deck / Gaming News #7 1 day ago:
I really wish GOG would do more to support Linux and the Deck. I started buying a little bit more there ever since Heroic came around but overall the Steam experience is still vastly superior.

The only Marvel movies I like and they are not even made by Marvel.
- Comment on Proton GE 9-26 Released With Updates For Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, GTA 5 Enhanced, And More 2 weeks ago:
I played quite a bit of Elite: Dangerous in VR on my Saitek X-55 in Linux. Worked out of the box.
- Comment on Studio Ghibli's "Princess Mononoke" is being remastered in 4K and re-released in IMAX on March 26th 2 weeks ago:
Cool, hope it makes it to blu-ray and they went through the trouble to do a proper rescan instead of just upscaling.
- Comment on Monster Hunter Wilds sales top eight million in three days 3 weeks ago:
With SteamDB estimating 2.6 - 3.27 million players on Steam it actually looks like PC is at least the second largest if not the largest platform.
- Comment on Monster Hunter series producer is being put in charge of all Capcom’s development divisions 3 weeks ago:
I have to question some folks ability to see when they say Wilds looks worse than World or like a PS3 game.
Certainly has some low-res textures that look weirdly out of place but it’s not like the entire game looks like this.
- Comment on UnleashedRecomp: A static recompilation of the Xbox 360 version of Sonic Unleashed 3 weeks ago:
I assume somebody really liked that game.
Just like the Lego Island guy™ really likes Lego Island. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MToTEqoVv3I
- Comment on Does Monster Hunter Wilds still look and feel like dog water? 4 weeks ago:
And DLSS also makes the game look like a shit sandwich even on quality.
Correct, I’m on a 7900 XTX and was able to get the best experience on Ultra by using FSR only for anti aliasing (native resolution) and turning on FSR frame generation. There are still artifacts but they are not nearly as bad as with upscaling.
Without frame gen I hover at around 60, good enough for controller but a pain with mouse.
Still, your 3060 is most likely going to output a clearer image than what your PS5 can do with FSR1. Did you give the benchmark on PC a go?
- Comment on Does Monster Hunter Wilds still look and feel like dog water? 4 weeks ago:
What’s your hardware?
On high end hardware the game runs fine, not good but okish. On console they use FSR1 at a really low resolution, making everything look really blurry. On PC at least FSR3 is available for lower end hardware but don’t expect too much if you don’t have a Nvidia 4000+ or AMD 6000+ series.
Digital Foundry has performance videos for console and PC up already.

One day we will get a spiritual successor.

I really enjoyed it. First game in a while that could scratch that Prey-itch.

AMD: Yes (Played the last beta for a few hours, make sure to use Proton Experimental) Nvidia: I believe the graphical issues are not fixed yet Steam Deck: Game does not run well
- Comment on Iron Galaxy lays off 66 developers in 'last resort' lifesaving effort 1 month ago:
I’m not sure, I only checked which projects Iron Galaxy is working on and noticed they are doing Last of Us again.
- Comment on Iron Galaxy lays off 66 developers in 'last resort' lifesaving effort 1 month ago:
I’m sure this is going to end great for the Last of Us 2 PC port. The port of the first game was already a disaster and they had all their people.
- Comment on Sony finally surrenders: PSN accounts will be 'optional' for games on Steam, but they'll give you free stuff if you sign up 1 month ago:
I’m surprised they did this. Would have assumed most people don’t care and we were getting a PC PSN launcher very soon.
- Comment on [Lunacid] All features of Vampire characters 1 month ago:
I still remember the coffin spell from that game fondly. I built so many staircases to get to places earlier.
Also, death genuinely scared me the first time he appeared.
- Comment on DOOM: The Dark Ages | Gameplay Sizzle | Coming May 15, 2025 2 months ago:
Looks pretty good but I’m going to wait for the soundtrack and for the price to come down to normal PC prices.
No Mick Gordon is still seriously disappointing.
Also, I hope they configured their Steam page wrong. The advanced access phase on Steam is 7 months long.

Yes, I’m on CoreELEC with an Odroid N2+ but I only play content without DRM. If you’re streaming DRM protected content you will have an easier time using Android.

Feeling pretty good about not getting a Boox e-ink tablet now.
- Comment on What did everyone grab during the Steam Winter Sale? 2 months ago:
Now I‘ll just wait for Monster Hunter Wilds which is easily my most anticipated game at the moment and probably the first triple-A game I‘ll be getting on launch since Elden Ring.
Same here.
FYI, Monster Hunter Wilds is available on Green Man Gaming and Fanatical for -18%, taking its price down to a normal triple A price of 57€.
- Comment on Pathologic 3 - Free prelude is coming soon! - Steam News 2 months ago:
I read that Pathologic 2 is a sequel and a remaster at the same time somehow and you should still play both? Would you recommend starting with 1 or 2 for a newcomer?
- Comment on Pathologic 3 - Free prelude is coming soon! - Steam News 2 months ago:
Bought part 1 and 2 recently. Didn’t have a chance to play it yet but heard good things about it.
- Comment on Is it time to start a campaign against kernel-level anticheat? 3 months ago:
The solution Valve is seemingly hoping for is that, by disclosing kernel-level anti-cheat on the store page, such a solution becomes poison in the marketplace and developers choose a different one.
Honestly, I wish they were more aggressive with it. Make the warning banners about kernel-level anti-cheat bright red and put it right above the purchase button like the “needs VR headset” warning.

I’m 95% there, I just need Docker Swarm to support IPv6 without breaking as soon as it is enabled.
- Comment on Guys, what did you buy during the Steam autumn sale? 3 months ago:
Doesn’t that impact your view of the screen?
Depends on the sensitivity you configure, usually you only tilt a few degress. I do prefer it on a Dualsense controller though with no display attached to the controller.
Do you use it in hectic situations - like doom etc? Or is it better for sniping and stuff where you have time to aim?
Usually for instances where I have time to aim. I have seen quite a few people who are really good with the trackpad though. I’m more of a mouse or gyro control guy though.
- Comment on Guys, what did you buy during the Steam autumn sale? 3 months ago:
I guess trackpad aim is just using the pads instead of the joystick?
You can combine as well. I usually use the stick on the left hand and the trackpad on the right one. You can also go back and forth while playing.
does that require tilting the device?
Yep, you can set it to activate only if your finger is resting on the right joystick. Very useful for precise movement, just bring the camera in an approximate direction with the stick and do the rest with the gyro control.
For the more popular games there’s usually a few community profiles you can download and try before messing with Steam Input yourself.
- Comment on Guys, what did you buy during the Steam autumn sale? 3 months ago:
It’s a bit frustrating how crap I am at gaming, particularly with shooters.
Since you have a Steam Deck, did you experiment with gyro and trackpad aim? I suck at controller aiming as well but that makes it so much easier.
- Comment on Guys, what did you buy during the Steam autumn sale? 3 months ago:
FYI, it’s 35€ on green man gaming right now.
