harald_im_netz , in The top demos of Steam Next Fest (so far!)

I really digged Dungeonborne and Indika. Also, Duck Detective and Diceomancer went to my wishlist.

harald_im_netz , in The lunar new year sale for 2024 is live. Is it just me or is this sale kinda hidden? Should last until February 15th

Found it in the store easily.

conn0rs420 , in The lunar new year sale for 2024 is live. Is it just me or is this sale kinda hidden? Should last until February 15th

I had to Google it as it doesn’t show up in the store search

800XL , in The Steam DB Early Access Category is suspiciously numbered 666

Why is this suspicious?

Malix ,
@Malix@sopuli.xyz avatar

“because the devil and early access bad”, I guess.

But, with any database using incremental numbers as IDs, getting “funny numbers” (69, 420, 666, 1337, whatever) its bound to happen

800XL ,

it’s not even coincidental, it’s just putting meaning where there is none.

Fiivemacs , in The first steam next fest of 2024 fest is live. Explore free demos from February 5th to February 12th

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?

@snooggums@kbin.social avatar

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

promitheas , in How do I hide gyro from a game using steam input?
@promitheas@iusearchlinux.fyi avatar

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

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

1984 , in Steam adds "Dwarf" as a tag
@1984@lemmy.today avatar

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.

SoleInvictus , in Steam adds "Dwarf" as a tag
@SoleInvictus@lemmy.world avatar

Yet Smashmouth never ate the eggs…

FrankTheHealer , in Steam adds "Dwarf" as a tag

Okay.

hedgehog , in DOA Xtreme Venus Vacation (Is it safe)

Why would Valve ban you?

If you’re paranoid about this then just make a new account on a VM or fresh install of an OS - you’ll be in a VPN anyway, only other possibility would be if they were tracking the other accounts that had been logged in locally and associating them.

HawlSera OP ,

Well, because I’d be using a VPN to access a game in another market, isn’t that against the rules.

hedgehog ,

Is that one of Valve’s rules, or just one of the video game publisher’s rules?

KickMeElmo ,

It’s one of Valve’s rules. They’re actually pretty serious about it too.

HawlSera OP ,

So is it safe or not?

dracs ,

It’s certainly against one of Valve’s rules to use a VPN to access Steam. I’ve never heard of anyone getting banned for it though.

HawlSera OP ,

It might actually be unenforceable, I’m surprised they haven’t quietly dropped it, but I think it’s there so they can bust people for abusing a VPN to cheat the system (Buy games where the exchange rate is more favorable for an American gamer)

dracs ,

Yeah, I’ve always expected they reserve it for people mass buying games from other regions. Or at least some legal defence if someone complains about people playing games that aren’t allowed in their region.

lupec ,

People abusing that is also often brought up as a reason or at least excuse for publishers to bleed developing countries dry when it comes to pricing, ask me how I know :/

HawlSera OP ,

I feel so bad for countries that had to settle for what’s known as “SlavJank”, because back in the day the tax on imports was so high that doom cost you 5000 dollars. The ones that didn’t have copyright laws at the time and thus could get bootlegs really easily had it lucky.

Btw, anyone ever hear of the Eastern European exclusive Monkey Island sequel “Donkey Island” ?

Trent ,

TIL I’ve been breaking the TOS for years. I regularly use a VPN to access steam, though only incidentally as the machine is usually connected to the VPN all rhe time. Never had a problem.

Aatube ,
@Aatube@kbin.social avatar

It’s only against it if you use the VPN to switch to another region.

HawlSera OP ,

One time I fucked up and accidentally had my VPN set to Ireland (I usually set it to Florida or New York, I’m in NC and they passed a porn ban here, so it’s the only way I can get e621)

Glad I noticed that my prices were suddenly in pounds instead of dollars before I fucked up

BlackEco ,
@BlackEco@lemmy.blackeco.com avatar

I think the rule would only apply to paid games since it exists to prevent people from buying games for cheap on markets other than theirs. So I’m not sure Valve would ban users for adding a F2P game to their library with a VPN.

HawlSera OP ,

One of Valve’s

hairyfeet , in Horizon Forbidden West coming to Steam March 21st

Will it work on the steam deck?

testeronious OP ,

I guess it will. Many playstation titles run on the steam deck already.

uis , in Palworld is now the second ever game to hit 2 million concurrent players on Steam
@uis@lemmy.world avatar

After CSGO?

Huschke ,
EvokerKing ,

People still play pubg??

OswaldBuzzbald ,

Not really, but that record number was set at the height of its release. I was told the number is really high because it took off in China, but it has me wondering why other games haven’t done the same. Does Steam no longer include or receive player counts from China? Are other games just not as big of hits there? I am specifically curious if Palworld has a large number of players in China.

EvokerKing ,

Typically if they support China they have a separate version of the game to comply with regulations. For example, look up Chinese csgo.

PraiseTheSoup , in Palworld reaches 1 million concurrent players on steam and becomes the first hit of 2024

I tried it on Xbox SX and it crashes every few minutes. It’s really not even playable currently.

Kronusx12 ,

Xbox and PC Gamepass launched with an older version of the game than Steam waiting for MS to approve the update.

It just got patched this afternoon, I imagine it runs better now. Although, I had only minimal problems launching and playing the game from PC Gamepass this weekend.
