BlueSquid0741@lemmy.sdf.orgto Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•The SteamOS era is imminent: Valve adds a new compatibility rating for games that’ll run on ‘any device that’s not a Steam Deck’English2·3 days agoYeah. I got a steam controller when it launched, and I was all in on finally being able to do adventure games on the couch.
It’s a genre I didn’t think of be able to play unless it was a modern game with console design in mind, except I play mostly 90s games. For me the trackpads are essential.
I’m only working now because someone browsed my linked in and asked if I’m open to contract work.

I started my first Terraria game since the covid lockdowns. Just wanted to show off something fun to my daughter, but then I got lost in it for a few hours.
BlueSquid0741@lemmy.sdf.orgto Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•The SteamOS era is imminent: Valve adds a new compatibility rating for games that’ll run on ‘any device that’s not a Steam Deck’English1·4 days agoI don’t know what you’re talking about now. The point being made was that using steam input to make a joystick emulate mouse is not a good experience for point and click adventure games compared to trackpads.
Steam controller made these games fun to play from the couch again, and steam deck made them fun to play handheld.
“Getting along” with joystick to mouse emulation might work to move a cursor, but it’s not good. That’s why many games types that were traditionally PC exclusives have new control schemes when there is a console port. Because mousing with a joystick is not a good time, it is just “making it work”.
BlueSquid0741@lemmy.sdf.orgto 90s Music@lemmy.world•Scatman John - Scatman (Ski Ba Bop Ba Dop Bop) [1995]English21·4 days agoI guess it’s depends how you consume music as well.
I was only 10, everyone I knew was all about Coolio and Silverchair. My dad was playing Simply Red and Queen.
There’s not really any avenue for me there to have heard this song really.

But WineHQ was never a good or reliable database for this purpose, you were always better off just trying the software and moving to a native alternative if it didn’t work than lean on this for decent information.
BlueSquid0741@lemmy.sdf.orgto 90s Music@lemmy.world•Scatman John - Scatman (Ski Ba Bop Ba Dop Bop) [1995]English1·5 days agoI’d never heard of this guy before. Maybe he didn’t get a hit in Australia.
Watching Todd In The Shadows episode was the first I ever heard it.

But I guess different people have different definitions of playable. Someone else said touchscreen is just as good as mouse🙄.
BlueSquid0741@lemmy.sdf.orgto Linux@lemmy.ml•When did you start working around with Linux?2·7 days agoI bought that netbook, I actually have it sitting on the floor over here in a pile of e waste that won’t turn on anymore.
But I bought it with the intent to install Crunchbang which I ran on it until it died.
BlueSquid0741@lemmy.sdf.orgto Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•The SteamOS era is imminent: Valve adds a new compatibility rating for games that’ll run on ‘any device that’s not a Steam Deck’English8·7 days agoI thought it’s like where it gives you a few lines of reasoning like “text is too small”, “doesn’t show universal prompts” or whatever.
One I’ve always had in the back of my head, because low barrier of entry, is painter.
House painting.
BlueSquid0741@lemmy.sdf.orgto RetroGaming@lemmy.world•Top 10 PC exclusive platformers -- not available on console.English1·7 days agoHocus Pocus and Realms of Chaos I played a lot, they were good fun for a while.
I didn’t play Jazz Jackrabbit 2 until not long ago. I didn’t like it as much as I remember liking Jazz 1 way back.
I also played the hell out of Duke Nukum 1. I loved it. But I know it’s not great and there’s not much to it.
What about Ninja Rabbit? I barely remember it aside from crashing so much.

What about point and click games? It can’t be the same or better without trackpads?

BlueSquid0741@lemmy.sdf.orgto Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•What is your first check for games that won't launch?English24·10 days agoRun from terminal and see what went wrong.
If you’re using a launcher with built in logger, refer to that (I’ve seen one on lutris, not Bottles, unsure about heroic).
This will cost like $30 and you might not need to buy blades for years and years.

Is the point here to promote Gardiner’s channel/video. If you don’t want to talk about pewdiepie (the gist of all these other comments) you could talk about Gardiner and his videos instead.
