They use a new version of EAC, but they have allowed Linux support, same as with The Finals, from the same developers

Only jumped in a few times now, had a pretty good experience so far, PvP has been not too bad, I’ve been shot a few times, but when people see I don’t return fire they chill out.

I did get killed once inside the extraction elevator, bit as I had already closed the doors it counted as a clean exit and I got a couple of achievements for leaving while downed, and leaving with another player, so maybe they were doing me a favour 😅

So far, so good, buy I don’t really see anything more interesting than CoD DMZ or The Circle, so I don’t think this will hold my attention

I don’t know how you would know that after 15 minutes, buy ok…

Still playing Monster Hunter World: Iceborne, I’m in Master Rank 5* missions now and slowly grinding through, not sure how much farther I’ll keep playing, but it’s still kind of fun.

I’ve also been dipping into the original Hades, I bounced off this game before because it was so grindy, buy I’m following some build guides now and I’ve managed to defeat Hades once, so I’ll stick with it some more.

If you can get used to just using the two touchpads for everything then you can get the most out of the Steam Controller and no other controller compares.

For FPS games for example you can bind the left touchpad to left joystick, make the outer ring toggle the left click to ‘run’ then use the touchpad click to activate something else like dodge (B)

The right touchpad can function as mouse for look, but also on touch activate gyro as mouse to help with accuracy, then right click can be melee or even configure a 4 button pad so you have more options.

Then you have the back buttons and the 4 shoulder buttons all at your finger tips and you don’t need to move your hands.

I like the touchpad for platformers too, completed Hollow Knight with just the touchpads

A friend and I used to play Counter Strike beta both sharing his 56k modern, it was pretty ropey at times, but still tons of fun.

I wonder what happened to that desert map

Republican states in the USA

Yeah that was really fun and really helped with community servers bridging pepe together

Monster Hunter World - Iceborne I can’t stop! The game is such a marathon…

I think I’m about halfway through and I’m starting to find the difficult spike a bit much so I’m focussing on some easier optional quests to get materials for upgrades which is quite nice as I get through them quickly.

I love how the game looks and feels, prefer it to Rise, but I think I prefer the combat in Rise. The problem with MHWI is the new clutch claw mechanic, it makes monsters get staggered during a fight and leaves them out of distance so you have to use the claw, it really breaks the rhythm of the game, plus they have inflated the monster health massively in Master Rank to compensate for the new mechanic which means fights can take ages if you don’t take advantage of the clutch claw moves perfectly.

Looking forward to Monster Hunter Wilds at some point in the future.

Hah, I got through it.

It wasn’t the best production quality but I found the mystery in it interesting enough, and I didn’t have anything else worth watching.

In the end it was alright.

This was definitely a game design choice and issue for me in DOS (1), but I didn’t feel the same about BG3, it seemed pretty well paced to me

Jack never worked at 37 Signals!?

Are you thinking or Jason Fried or the guy who made Ruby on Rails David Heinemeir Hansson?

There’s always been a lot of doom out there, we just haven’t had it all delivered at our fingertips.

I’d suggest not to take your news from Lemmy which unfortunately is bombarded with doom.

Yep, I don’t disagree,. A couple of hours every night soon stacks up.

The problem is, I don’t play anything else and I was halfway through Kingdom Come Deliverance!

I’m in a Monster Hunter Rise shaped hole, this game is a marathon!

I’m motivated to ‘finish’ it because I want to try out Monster Hunter World, but I’m not sure that healthy.

About 120 hours in so far, I’ve just got the end credits for the DLC at Master Rank 5 for killing the Arch Demon, according to people in the community I’ve just finished the tutorial 🥲

Is there such software

Monster Hunter games are a marathon, 200h is beginner numbers 😅

Is he just horror? Or are there other genre’s and themes in his single novels?

Have you tried the milsims like Hell Let Loose, Squad or the Arma series?

They definitely play differently, but once you get into the groove I find them more rewarding.
