I’m hoping ARM support could pave the way for a Steam Deck Mini next. I bought a Miyoo Mini Plus two years ago and put far more time into it than I ever did my Deck, which honestly just kinda gathers dust now.

I don’t need specs, I just need something that fits in my pocket and runs my favorite 2D indie games.

My impression of the original Steam Controller was that it was designed for games I don’t want to play on controller, at the expense of being terrible for games I do want to play on controller.

I don’t think they even can manufacture at a scale anywhere close to the big three. Like with the Steam Deck, it’ll be a great product for a niche audience, but the numbers will be limited in comparison. No chance of taking over the industry.

Steam Forums are one of the worst unmoderated hellholes on the internet. It pains me that Valve keeps letting this shit keep happening.

Lemmy, especially its developers

I will forever swear by the 8BitDo Pro 2

The only thing keeping me off of Wayland is the fact that OBS window capture forces me to manually reselect every window every time.

CoH’s control scheme requires both hands, so I can’t recommend it to OP. But I’ll also have to say that I have the opposite opinion, CoH was good for a casual playthrough but wasn’t something I could sink several hundred hours into like the original. The overworld made runs much longer and much more repetitive since a lot of it is always the same.

• Anything turn-based, especially mouse-driven titles. Slay the Spire, Chess, Riichi Mahjong, Balatro, etc.

• Puyo Puyo Champions has a one-handed preset in its controller options. Do note that if you want to play online, only Switch is active since that’s where Japan is, I can’t recommend the game on other platforms.

• Kirby Air Ride uses only one button + analog stick, and any button works, so you can use L. Would have to be left hand for the original, but the sequel coming out later this month has a detailed accessibility menu, which I bet will include right-handed settings.

• Crypt of the Necrodancer is designed to be playable with just four arrows, in case anyone wanted to play it on a DDR mat. Which also means you can play with arrow keys or WASD.

• Rhythm Doctor is actually just one button.

• Rhythm Heaven Fever uses only A and B. Rhythm Heaven DS uses only stylus. The rest of the series uses d-pad as well though, so those are less playable.

• Come to think of it, any DS game that only uses stylus.

Assuming this is for a team game, predator-prey relationships create interesting dynamics where teammates have to protect each other from their counters, while also aiming to create situations where they can isolate a countered opponent to press the advantage.

In a 1v1 game though, you do want panel 2. It would be very bad if Street Fighter was decided by playing rock-paper-scissors on the character select screen.

Vampire Savior

Are you volunteering to go make that many?

HW1 didn’t include anyone from A Link to the Past, Oracle of Ages/Seasons, Four Swords, Minish Cap, Phantom Hourglass, or Spirit Tracks. So those would be a good place to start.

An engine reimplementation is something that has to be made from scratch for each individual game you want to remake.

There are roughly 150000 games on Steam. So you’re asking for 135000 engine reimplementation projects.

Qanon

Honestly disappointed they’re limiting it to BotW and TotK, again. I really liked HW1 as a celebration of the entire Zelda franchise, and wish a sequel expanded on that to represent an even wider variety of picks throughout the series, especially games that weren’t represented in HW1.

Aika from Skies of Arcadia

As a journalist she did it to see what would happen. And then wrote an article about what happened. This is definitely worth talking about even if she did click the box, the box isn’t really the point here.

Just a few days ago, at a local Vampire Savior tournament. Grand Finals ended with me sniping Q-Bee’s bubble super with a callout from B.B. Hood’s gun super. Wish I had a clip, but it wasn’t streamed or recorded.

Also had a few good laughs playing Skullgirls earlier that night at the same local, chaotic shit always happens in that game.

Word of caution, do NOT read the original manga. It’s kind of infamous for the incredibly controversial direction the story goes in the second half, which the anime thankfully omits.
