That’s a you problem, it’s fine to use male and female when used together it’s when they’re mixed it’s reductive “men and females”.

Dual touch pads is the way to do it! Well played.

Once I ditched the left stick for both touch pads everything became so much better

Yet reassuring that this is a global epidemic 🥴

It took me a while to get used to them but using dual track pads for all games made everything feel so much better, I’m getting the new controller but I think there’s a good chance I’ll stick to the original Steam Controller.

If yoi take some time to tweak the settings the track pads can do anything.

Yes, it’s very good!

Same, it’s brilliant, and the devs have created the nicest community around it too.

Check it out and see what you think, I’m having no problems running through and I just defeated Vicar Amelia. There is a bit of slowdown sometimes but it’s not ruining the game for me.

Have you seen what you can do with ShadPS4 on the PC? Upscaled resolution, Ultrawide dimensions, 60FPS and other tweaks, the textures are good enough it feels like playing Elden Ring, it’s a fantastic experience.

Steam Controller really comes into it’s own when you rely on both touchpads.

I usually map the left joystick to the left touchpad on touch, and if I need options for the D-pad map them to the joysticks instead or even touchpad 4 button click.

For side scrolling platformers I just map the D Pad to the left touchpad on touch, and ABXY to the right touchpad on touch.

Good luck hiring developers that won’t code with AI.

GoG does have DRM games now, check out Hitman.

Also Steam has plenty of non DRM games, like Witcher 3 for example

I never liked Steam when it was first released, it was problematic, slowed down my machine and caused me frustration.

Now it’s different. I agree with Gene Newell that piracy is a service issue, I haven’t pirated any games since steam started to fill its library with other non Valve games that I wanted.

I also appreciate the additional features that it brings like the community features and guides and managing updates for me.

It’s not perfect, nothing is, buy I prefer it to managing my own files and updates.

RetroDeck doesn’t leave crap all over your system and cleans up after itself.

Using AI for code requires a high level of specificity, software houses that are getting the most out of it are not using it so much inline or vibe coding because as you say that leads to hallucinations or having to repeat yourself.

The common approach now is to use multiple agents with different responsibilities, the human effectively becomes a team leader and uses one chatbot to orchestrate a plan being very specific about the outcomes and the requirements and breaking the plan down into phases,

Another agent will be used to write the code, they will have set rules files to keep them on guard rails, they will check their work as they go and deliver a pull request at the end of it for the human to check and approve

The next agent will be there to write tests and check the work of the second agent.

It’s a lot more work than writing a single prompt and expecting a good outcome or close approximation, but it is getting better results now.

The reality is software engineers will use AI or will find themselves out of work as they won’t have the skills to get hired.

Customers may never know if AI is used as a tool in game creation but it will always be part of any software and development studio.

Using AI for music or design assets is totally different from using it for the code base and blanket statements don’t improve the situation

I think it’s a bit outdated now though, they are behind on Wayland support and their DE is quite poor.

I agree that it’s very stable however and easy to run software.

These days I would recommend Fedora or Ubuntu, maybe Debian.

What do you mean it has the most compatible software? How does its software differ from that available in other distros?

I always start with a prayer to the Omnissiah

It’s one of my current favourite devices.

Although funnily enough I now mostly play Monster Hunter Freedom Unite instead of any emulation.
