- Comment on I love stardew valley. looking for an alternative that is made for controller experience. 1 day ago:
In my experience, most games that offer support for both are better with KB/M.
The KB/M vs Controller betterness ratio of a particular game tends to also scale up with the amount of controls required to play the game.
If you want a game that feels almost as good on the controller, find a simpler game with fewer controls.
As far as game recommendations: the wife and I have more hours into Stardew Valley than I’ll publicly admit, and other games we enjoy that work well with controllers are Luma Island, Dinkum, and Plate Up.
A side note: If you’re chasing the magic that is Stardew Valley, you aren’t going to find it elsewhere. Be open to a different kind of magic in these other games and you won’t be disappointed that it doesn’t hit like Stardew.

I’m enjoying the game. And yeah, a lot of cool folk work there. Sure a few suck, but there are a lot of neat humans that poured their heart into this game.
I also haven’t had a single issue on a two year old mid-tier laptop so i can’t empathize with the fuss over performance. I’m sure there are older machines out there that wont run it at 1000FPS or whatever.
At the end of the day, it’s a game. Calm tf down and play something else rather than raise your blood pressure over something so relatively trivial.
Deep breath people. It’s a game. Support it or don’t. Edginess not required for this decision.

Saw this discarded in an Aldi checkout yesterday. It didn’t smell anything like the pickle scent I was expecting it to.

How do I agree 100% with both of these comments…
- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 6 months ago:
Unless you’re using NVIDIA. Didn’t work out of the box for me and required a couple hours of fiddling. Mint worked seamlessly.

Just wanted to say you’re not alone here; this is the first time I’ve encountered a “laggy” post, and I was also wondering if it’s a boost issue due to all the images.

My wife and I play a lot of Civ 5 together. We recently got Old World on sale and have been enjoying it. It’s different from Civ in a lot of refreshing ways, but retains enough of the Civ vibe we really enjoy.

I’m playing it regularly on my Steam Deck with no issues. Just took a quick read through of the control mapping.
