Thats immediately how I played it; with my deck and the built in controller.
Wish the game kept me interested a little longer tho!
- Comment on Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp will end service in Nov 28 - but will transition to a paid offline app 3 months ago:
This is… kind of weird, no? Like why would they pull the plug on an app that keeps the microtransaction money rilling?
- Comment on Playstation Store lists Red Dead Redemption as “now on PC for the first time ever” 4 months ago:
RDR 1 was and is one of my favorite game stories ever, and emulating the 360 version feels bad when you can boot up RDR2 and get one of the most beautiful games ever made running at a higher framerste.
But I dont like 2. Put a dozen hours into it hoping it would click and it just dont.
This release is targeted @ me and I’m here for it.

Ya know what? Fair.
I do think that’s a reasonable take, but the person I replied to seemed unwilling to engage with the content in question but still wanted to chime in casting random uninformed doubts. Doesn’t add much of anything. If they had cited parts of the video that made them question it I wouldnt have said anything, because honestly I ALSO asked myself those questions.
- Comment on I Worked For MrBeast, He's A Sociopath 4 months ago:
30 minutes of this video is an interview… that touches on different aspects of the beast operation beyond the scope of the first.
The YT account only has two videos (the two about beast).
I don’t believe he himself (the creator) was an influencer.
He turned off monetization on the video.
Thanks for the preface, but all this reply does is stir the pot without adding anything of value to the convo.

Looks like the perfect amount of goofy to dump like 20 hours in over a couple weekends then never launch again
- Comment on ZOTAC Zone is yet another AMD gaming handheld 6 months ago:
So the dual trackpads are interesting. I use my right trackpad on my Steam Deck all the time for more mouse centric games. I appriciate that ZOTAC included them, but the execution is key here.
Personally, I have two steam decks in my house and I’m extremely satisfies with them. I dont think a new handheld will make me switch until we get another generational improvemnt in terms of battery or power.
I love that the market has so many options! Steam, Asus, Lenovo, MSI, Zotac, AYANEO, AYN, GPDWin, or even the chaper linux retro consoles! its fucking awesome. In a few years we’ll see who really sticks with it, but for now, we’re in a little handheld revolution. Enjoy it while we can.

- Comment on Favourite controllers 7 months ago:
So my sticks still work, but I’ve worn down the rubber on two of the left joysticks so much its crumbling apart. Purchased in 2021 and was my main driver until that happened. Used that opportunity to try out the PS5 controller and the new Xbox series ones.
And I mean… they’re good?
The resistive triggers were cool and the touchpad is really customizeable. Xbox controller stays solid but boring.
Switch Pro controller feels great buy weird to be playing PC games with. Nothing WRONG with it, just feels mentally disconnecting for some reason lol.
Idk. For me the Pro 2 and the wireless SNES sized 8bitdo controllers are perfectly comfy. Have an ultimate in its way to me now actually.
- Comment on Favourite controllers 7 months ago:
8bitdo Pro 2. I LOVE me some 2D platformers, and the D-pad is absolutely amazing for me. I think I have 4 in total now, two wired two wireless?
Only problem is the sticks wear out, but they sell replacements! So no tossing the whole controller :D

Yeah, it felt nice to play, but after dumping 8 hours into it two weeks ago I can’t even remember what a single enemy looks like.
- Comment on Footage Of Monolith's Canceled Nolan Batman Game That Became Shadow Of Mordor Appears Online 8 months ago:
That is SO fucking cool.
The Shadow of Morodor games are pretty good turn your brain off action games. But the tech behind it always blew my mind.
(Slight spoilers)
Like when you unlock the drake in the sequal and can fly over all the orc architecture or mountains, see anything that looks interesting and divebomb in. And it retains so much detail and fluidity during these transitions of gameplay and travel. I literally said last week that Shadow of Morodor is the best superhero game around, mainly because they truly capture that feeling of raw power and freedom.
I guess this is why it kinda has that feel!
- Comment on What are some games you find yourself frequently coming back to? 8 months ago:
Thanks for taking the time to reply. The tutorial sections did absolutely put me off the first time, but I saw flashes of brilliance after I got over that hump. Definitely gonna give it another go after the Helldivers rush wears off.
- Comment on What are some games you find yourself frequently coming back to? 8 months ago:
Man I WANT to love Horizon. It seems exactly like my type of game. But everytime I play it everything feels… insincere? Idk something about it doesnt hit. Still paid for it day one when it came to PC though to support the cross platform Sony initiative.
- Comment on Pokémon Co. Is Now DMCAing Years Old Videos Showing Pokémon Modded Into Other Games 8 months ago:
Actually, I don’t think so. Thats why Nintendo shits on a bunch of fan ports and remake projects.
- Comment on Pokémon Co. Is Now DMCAing Years Old Videos Showing Pokémon Modded Into Other Games 8 months ago:
Fair use is such a fickle thing. It isn’t the catch all that people want.
Without express permission from Nintendo, including Pokemon in a mod is copyright infringement.
Is it transformative? Thats extremely case by case, but Nintendo would make the arguement that mods can act as a market subsitute for their own product (like the guys putting pokemon into palworld).
IANAL, this is all just my opinion.

Would love some Lemmy input on this as well
- Comment on Pokémon Co. Is Now DMCAing Years Old Videos Showing Pokémon Modded Into Other Games 8 months ago:
But the Pokémon themselves are IP of Nintendo at the moment, so their inclusion is technically copyright infringement no?

On pure speculation, it seems like iii could be a parallel to AAA. Maybe some sort of indie cooperation initiative?
