My almost 13 year old daughter had a good idea. We’ve been talking about doing a podcast together - mostly for us to have.
Her idea was reviewing books that are being taken out of school libraries - discussing the content, reviewing the actual literature but also the reasons it was banned and our thoughts there as well.
This is something I think that we will do, soon.
@darth @PlaystationPixy @Player1MGA @AstronomerEric@mastodon.world @Rwebbo25 @Geekymary it isn't, but at least for me it is 40 like 98% of the time, I rather have mostly 40 with drop-offs than 30 all the time. From what I recall the default Valve config aims at 30.
@darth @PlaystationPixy @Player1MGA @Rwebbo25 @AstronomerEric@mastodon.world @Geekymary 15 could be rough! The 30 to 40 I get from Steam Deck is OK.
@Geekymary @PlaystationPixy @Player1MGA @AstronomerEric@mastodon.world @darth @Rwebbo25 my kids notice that stuff more than you'd think :( even movie CG, they can pick up tiny flaws easily. I think because they grew up with it they are hyper sensitive.
@PlaystationPixy @Geekymary @Player1MGA @AstronomerEric@mastodon.world @darth @Rwebbo25 I understand, I like buying Nintendo games pre-owned too at times because the prices never drop! :)
@PlaystationPixy @Geekymary @Player1MGA @AstronomerEric@mastodon.world @darth @Rwebbo25 my kids prefer to play on Switch than PC or Xbox. That's why I'm waiting to see if the Switch version is OK, and why I've ended up buying games like Sonic twice!
@Geekymary @Player1MGA @AstronomerEric@mastodon.world @darth @Rwebbo25 I’m 23% too!!!
@Player1MGA @AstronomerEric@mastodon.world @Geekymary @darth @Rwebbo25 I managed to learn my first dark arts spell :) got plenty done! I'm playing with my daughter taking turns.
A workmate told me she is having the same issue with her son :D he also wants to join in.
Anyway, I'll be getting teh game again for Switch so my daughter can have her own boxed copy for posterity.

This HP 125 is adorable! Who wouldn't want to have one of these guys on their desk? Beep boop!
Do you use Steam Input to customize controls and enable gyro input for your PC games that don't support it natively? If so, you might be interested to know that similar functionality can be achieved on gaming consoles (Xbox specifically), even if they lack native gyro support.
Two pieces of hardware that do this are the Armor X Pro which maps the gyro to stick, and the XIM NExus which maps the gyro to mouse.
These are not cheap, however, the benefits are huge!
PS: I'm well aware that the brand XIM specifically is sadly associated with cheating and some of the more advanced macro functions of controllers like these can be used to cheat. However, my main interest in them is to use the gyro aspect. Simply do what Steam Input can do, just remapping.

@Trush such an awesome game this. All the playability of SFII with a really cool art style.
@fatboy toxic feature. Windows eh?
@ContraryRhombus not very long, maybe a couple of weeks for it to feel 100% natural.
Perhaps it is one of those things that isn't for everyone, but for those who it suits it feels so natural and intuitive that the idea of even playing a game without it a total no.
I prefer to play it arcade cabinet style, my setup for first person shooters is a standup desk. This gives me great freedom of movement.
@TigerMcMeowMeowFace sadly we are now living in an era where a fast connection is necessary. Thankfully I have one and my all digital Series S works just fine, even large games just take a few minutes to download.
@TigerMcMeowMeowFace it is a good traditional controller that would have been great 10 years ago. But for 2023 it is lacking basic functionality.
As for the #XboxSeries what it has going for it is Game Pass. Particularly the Series S is the cheapest way to access and play Game Pass in a performant fashion.
I play #HaloInfinite with gyro aiming because it is 2023. Why doesn’t every damn game natively support gyro? Why do XBox controllers not have gyro? 🤷♂️ #gaming #xbox
