This really reflects the reverse spiral gaming hardware has seen in recent years. The benchmarks are absolutely laughable for what you could get for the same price just a year ago. Go back 2 years and the gap is even larger. Gamers are being priced out by AI slop generators.

Gaming isn‘t standing still though, it‘s reverting. You can‘t get the same hardware you got 5 years ago for the same price anymore. Hardware ALWAYS got cheaper until recently. This is truly unprecedented.

It‘s nit about skill as prebuilt machines that go for roughly the same are more powerful as well. All the Steam Machine really has going for it is the size. That‘s it. Don‘t need your machine to be a tiny cube sitting under the TV? Get literally anything else.

Really the most remarkable thing here is the software with SteamOS and Proton. By a long shot. Those are the big things we should be discussing.

Definitely. Great developers and movie makers keep saying how games and movies are group efforts where the result is more than the sum of it‘s parts.

Welcome to games@lemmy.world! Here are your torch and pitch fork. Now go and join the angry mob! What are you waiting for?

Jokes aside it is a really bizarre and twisted way to read the situation but that‘s a pattern with this community. I know these things are kind of subjective but you will see the most confidently wrong takes here gather huge support from people who haven‘t even played the games so as long as they can „stick it to the big guys“. Whatever that means at any given time.

That’s a cute idea but also naive. You voided the warranty the moment you separate the case to open that thing anyway. It doesn‘t even matter if it‘s glued or not and yes, Nintendo can tell. People do not glue it back together to trick Nintendo but to actually keep the thing in place. It will absolutely need to be mounted.

It does but that‘s because it looks like generic fantasy, not medieval.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Controller Review: Now You're Playing with Power - Nerrel⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
Apart from the fact that Steam Input is a book with seven seals to me, it does not forward gyro input to any emulator I have tried. Not at all. It simply gets no gyro input when I try to set the button layout via emulator menu.

In fact I can‘t even get the gyro from the DualSense to work over Steam while it works out of the box without Steam running. I wish I could just tell Steam to not do anything but unfortunately Steam Input is mandatory for the Steam Controller.

I have tried to get it to work for endless hours and I‘m pretty sure it‘s actually not possible on Arch Linux. It‘s also very frustrating to keep reading „just use Steam Input bro“ as if that explains anything. What do you guys even mean by that? Do you have a step-by-step guide how to make gyro from the new Steam Controller readable for emulators? Because god knows the internet could need one.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Controller Review: Now You're Playing with Power - Nerrel⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
I wonder how he got the pads and gyro working on emulators. I can‘t get them to read the controller properly at all.

One thing I actually disliked about GTA5 was that the game wouldn‘t exactly pick up where your last session ended. Instead, it felt like the world continued in my absence. I would save my game as Franklin in his house but the next time I boot up the game I‘m controlling Trevor waking up in a pile of garbage, feeling just as disoriented as he did. Even when it made for some surprising moments I disliked it overall.

Are you implying Kingdom Come Deliverance looks bland because it has a medieval setting? This is just fantasy done boring if anything.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo Confirms EU‑Only Switch 2 Revision With User‑Replaceable Batteries⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Unfortunately you are mistaken. They can‘t just place it in there loosely. It needs to be mounted in some way. Right now, repair guides glue the replacement battery back into place as well so it‘s actually not something you should skip.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo Confirms EU‑Only Switch 2 Revision With User‑Replaceable Batteries⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
I‘m not sure if replaceable means that. In fact I am very doubtful replaceable means you can replace it like older laptop batteries or Gameboy batteries. It‘s more like replacing a 3DS battery I imagine. So no, very much not be at 100 percent just like in the old days unless you regularly replaces your 3DS batteries. Not sure why you would.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo Confirms EU‑Only Switch 2 Revision With User‑Replaceable Batteries⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
On one hand I agree but on the other hand this EU version will probably have less battery capacity or even processing power as a trade-off. It has to fit in the same case and with the same components after all.

Surprising amount of people here seem to believe the PR bullshit non-apology. You probably think Musk just did a Roman salute too. Pathetic.

Good to know most people have a brain and are capable of critical thinking to easily see through the bullshit.

Pyra was really unique and fun! I‘m not sure if it‘s something people actually dislike, though. It‘s more so that nobody knows about it, I think.

Looks like Krafton negotiated insanely bad bonus conditions and terms for themselves here. Are they adrenaline junkies or am I bad at math because it looks like they have to pay much larger bonuses than they made revenue so far.

Well, now UE6 seems to be the big new thing so Witcher 4 can suck it I guess.

It‘s easy to dismiss this as a reaction from an older dev who‘s simply out of touch. However, from what I‘ve been picking up people in Japan are very split on AI. For every artist, developer or writer that hates it there‘s another artist, developer or writer who says it‘s a tool like any other. But it does feel like it‘s mostly older guys who are already retired or close to it that don‘t have a problem with it sometimes.

I feel bad for people working in manufacturing for parts like cases or cooling systems. When nobody builds PCs anymore, nobody buys their products either and they go out of business for good.

This whole AI mess is killing gaming as we know it.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream Sales Surpass 3.8 Million Copies | Nintendo Insider⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
I mean duh, a game sells better when it‘s released on more platforms but I was shocked when I read the Switch 2 sold nearly 20 million units already. It has a better run than the Switch 1 in it‘s first year. People are buying it like sliced bread and the price increase makes total sense.

Funny thing though the average Switch 2 owner only bought 2 1/2 games for the console and many retailers are putting heavy discounts on them. The Switch 2 is a triumph for Nintendo but a net loss of retailers if we go by the current numbers.

All that being said it horrifies me what Nintendo will learn from all this. Their fans who spend so much money so carelessly on hardware are ruining the company for me. It will rain rereleases, remasters and remakes on the platform and I couldn‘t care less about any of those. Nintendo is at their best when they innovate but they don‘t have any reason to atm.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve Releases Steam Controller CAD Files Under Creative Commons License⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
You would have to remodel the case based on the CAD files as they only contain the completely outside of the controller and the puck as combined meshes. They are useful as a reference and to model accessories such as a stand of example.
