vexikron , in Steam adds "Dwarf" as a tag

So basically this means there is a significant demographic of gamers that will play a game largely because it features dwarves?

Im sorry, I missed all the fuss about this.

I guess look forward to Dwarf Cart Racing and Dwarf Chess and Dwarf MilSim Tac Squad.

I was gonna say A Dwarf And His Horse but uh… well maybe it would work with dwarf horses. Thats probably got some appeal.

plantedworld ,

I would lol

MelastSB ,

A Dwarf MilSim Tac Squad would be nice

Locrio ,

Some Warhammer dev is taking this to a meeting right now.

vexikron ,

Uh i call dibs on the idea.

Pay me, because I am a very creative modern game high level idea generator.

Oh, the state of modern games and game development.

Elsewhere, Nintendo lawyers seethe and rage as they comb through almost certainly illegally acquired documentation and game files, looking for any actionable reason to sue PalWorld and its creators into an early grave

If you think vermintide in any way resembles a milsim tactical combat game, you are either delusional or have never played like RavenShield, SWAT 1 or 2, Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six (not fucking Seige), the ARMA series, even Squad, or Americas Army or hell even the NeoTokyo mod for HL2 way back in the day, or anything like that.

Vermintide is basically L4D2 with a thematic facelift.

Tooootally not a milsim or squad based tactics game where planning, preperation and training are key because one or two minor mistakes and basically mission fail, everyone dies.

MilSims and Tacitcal Squad Based Combat games are hugely defined by very tense periods of going as by the book as you can, punctuated by extremely intense moments that you often cannot predict will occur.

Vermintide, like L4D2, is more or less long sustained periods of intense, largely unrealistic, much more forgiving (far lower average TTK for the player) combat, with many more fantastical elements, and then the down time is generally minimized, unless you are an absurdly good team or are astoundingly lucky.

DragonTypeWyvern ,

My bad, I keep forgetting some couch warriors keep trying to make “milsim” mean something besides shooter.

vexikron ,

Ahahah ok so you obviously havent played many shooters, beyond the more or less generic slop of very popular fps games thatve come out in the last few years with basically very similar gameplay but different IPs/themes, ahaha.

DragonTypeWyvern ,

I prefer real guns.

vexikron ,

It would simplify the control scheme somewhat as there would basically be no point whatsoever for a dwarf to crouch. Prone might make sense?

Can dwarves lean left and right around corners without going off balance and just falling over?

technologicalcaveman ,

The idea of a a Ready or Not styled game with the comedy and tone of Deep Rock would be killer.

vexikron ,

Not my cup of tea (or i guess flagon of grog to be thematically in sync), but I guess your comment here, as well as others, does lend credence to my top level post.

wahming ,

A dwarf and his horse would rapidly become a dwarf and his lifetime supply of jerky

vexikron ,

I hope to god you are not implying that the dwarf strips meat off the horse when its so cold the horse cannot feel it, ala valley forge us army survival tactics.

I for one went and marked 100% of my dwarf games with the custom title yesterday.

Glad to see that now that I helped, they’re gunna change it

RGB3x3 ,

How many dwarf games could there really be?

Is there an entire genre that I’m unaware of?

Reddit_Is_Trash ,

More than you would think…

The biggest two that pop into my head are Deep Rock Galactic, and Dwarf Fortress.

Both amazing games btw

ArmoredThirteen ,

For rock and stone!

Zess ,

I was surprised to not see Baldur’s Gate 3 on there since you can play as a dwarf.

DragonTypeWyvern ,

Sadly Baldur’s Gate primarily focuses on weak human city problems they got from being weak and human, the conflict of the Forgotten Realms dawi single handedly holding back hordes of goblins, orcs, giants, kobolds, duergar, and dark elves must be addressed by a different series I am now sad will never be made.

In Warcraft 2 you can get dwarves and they make things asplode. That is all.

LOL right? Like… neat. Cool that it finally got this random tag… Seems like a slow news cycle for gaming.

Slippery slope guys. Soon we have tags like “windy” or “landscape” or “table”. :)

I think they did it because “let’s play along” but it’s still not a smart move. I guess they had to go along.

Blaiz0r , in How do I hide gyro from a game using steam input?

You would want to check what the trigger is set to.

How does this controller work in other games, any issues?

Also you could try loading in another template to pre configure the controller

Lojcs OP ,

The trigger is set to trigger. Normally the left trigger is secondary attack and doesn’t work but if I turn on left handed mode from in-game settings then the right trigger is secondary attack and doesn’t work.

The controller worked fine up until now.

I haven’t tried mouse and keyboard emulation but I’m assuming it would suck

Blaiz0r ,

Very weird, and I assume the in game controls are setup normally?

Also do you have any other software that could interfere with the controls? Any other game launchers open even?

Have you tried restarting the machine and starting from scratch?

Lojcs OP , (edited )

The game is set up normally and there isn’t other software that could interfere.

Other things the gyro affects:

The tilt of the controller very slightly moves the character backwards. Jerking the controller around also has an effect on the screen but doesnt seem to move the character a discernable distance. I can also semi-reliably perform the secondary attack by thrusting the controller back and forth (wii sports, yay)

Edit: Just noticed that it’s the Linux native version I’m playing, will try proton

Edit 2: Proton doesn’t have the issue. Fixed

Blaiz0r ,

That is bonkers, glad you got it sorted

I ate gyro last night and when I read this I was very confused for a couple seconds

HawlSera OP , in DOA Xtreme Venus Vacation (Is it safe)

Update: I already got the game via VPN by clicking the install button on SteamDB, my steam account did not get banned or catch fire

Facebones , in How do I hide gyro from a game using steam input?

You’ll be hiding no gyro from me, Sir. I’ll smell it a mile away!

Since when are demos paid for

iheartneopets ,

They…aren’t? They’re free demos, right there in the title.

Davel23 ,

I think he's trying to say that the phrase "free demos" implies the existence of demos you have to pay for.

Broken_Monitor ,

They do - it’s called “early access”

Carighan ,
@Carighan@lemmy.world avatar

That’s just a release though, only they’re being honest about how unfinished and buggy their game is.

Willie ,

Kind of like the Pizza Hut demo discs for PS1?

Like free trials, they keep free in the name just to make sure it is clear and because people like free stuff.
