  1. Character creation

  2. A hairstyle option that is actually a toupee. If your character is hit / impacted / falls / etc, the toupee can sometimes fall off l. The character suffers a debuff until they pick it back up or buy a new one. It is not apparent during character creation that what the player is selecting is a toupee, and the mechanic is not explained in any way.

Just got admitted to the closed beta a few weeks back and have been absolutely loving it :]

This is everything I want from a gamified step counter with none of the things I don’t want!

Looking forward to push notifications to help me remember to queue up the next activity when the last one is complete

Thank you so much for making this!

Beautiful, I was just thinking about playing through this again!

Hopefully this paves the way for an easier Conker decomp too :)

While the two are alone inside, Sonne notices a piano, tinkles a bit on it and then dares Victoria to also play something

The last two generations of Playstation and Xbox controllers have all used the same Alps joystick modules.

Elite Series 2 is the only exception I know of, I haven’t taken apart the Dualsense Edge so that one could be different too.

The concern is that really running too much current / many amps through too thin of a cable risks melting the cable, which can in turn cause a short and fry things.

For a cable meeting the minimum specification, for one 8-Pin PCI connector it would be rated to handle about 12A / 150W. L

Your card can draw up to 300W. If your second PCI power connector is a “pigtail” off of the first, then the first run of cable is taking about 25A at full load.

If the cables are thick and overbuilt, that’s bot really an issue. If the cables are thinner and have a lower current rating, they could melt.

Best practice is to split the connections across the power supply’s available ports.

Try dropping the resolution to 1024x960 and using FSR, game will run at 45fps most of the time.

[–] Romkslrqusz@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago

Yes!

Mostly low/medium settings, drop the resolution to 1024x960, enable FSR in the Deck’s settings, cap the framerate to 45 FPS and it’ll mostly stay there.

I’m usually really sensitive to anything below 60fps but for some reason it feels very smooth and playable this way.

I have a gaming PC with an R7 5800X and an RTX 3080 hooked up to a 38” Ultrawide monitor

Since I got my Steam Deck, the PC setup mostly collects dust. Being able to lay on the couch and play games while watching TV shows with my SO became a lot more appealing than going into another room to sit upright at a desk. Games in bed while watching Saturday morning cartoons? Yes please!

As far as games are concerned, the majority of things run at acceptable framerates. For the exceptions, you can always stream from a PC over the network and the battery life is incredible when you play that way. This also applies to games with restrictive anti-cheat.

I’m pretty sure those ads also have to meet certain criteria though.

Using ABP, I’ve never had a popup ad, full page ad, auto-playing video, or other intrusive form of advertisement. The “acceptable ads” have been quiet and out of the way in what would otherwise be empty space.

With the understanding that some websites and content creators are entirely reliant on ad revenue, I prefer to have those filtered down to those that don’t provide a burdensome experience.

I will say that having a new tab open with a solicitation for a donation / “premium” every single update (so almost daily) is irritating and they better knock that shit off if they don’t want to alienate users.

Well, for starters, if you build it you can have whatever aesthetic you want. In the process, you’ll learn how all the pieces fit together and will be in a better position to perform your own repairs. You also get warranty terms of 3 or more years on the individual parts.

With an OEM Prebuilt, you’re usually limited to a one year warranty (in the US). Not all “office desktops” consist entirely of proprietary parts. Lenovo and Dell publish their service manuals, so you should be able to see if a system you are considering uses a standard ATX Power Supply (for example). Depending on your performance target, some RTX3050 cards will run entirely off of the 75W provided through the PCI slot. They’ll also have “office PCs” with graphics cards in them, meaning they’re technically fit for playing games even though they’re bot marketed as such. Ultimately, “Gamer” aesthetic is really just part of “Gamer” marketing.
