I'm playing with a controller. It's not that the controls are bad, they're just a little restrictive. Mostly it's the psychological effect of the whole thing, but I feel like it wouldn't be so bad if my movement wasn't so restricted. At least it isn't fighting the controls more than I fight enemies, like in the Witcher. I love that game but the controls are trash.
I've been trying to play the first one after getting it a few months ago, but I can only play for a little bit at a time because it's just so... heavy. It's so good at portraying Schizophrenia that it fucks with your head, and the controls don't help, causing further madness. Every time I try to play a bit, I feel off afterwards, like my mind slipped away. I really want to play and finish it, but it's taking some time.
Oh, hey, I already did that! I'll have you know that once I did, my computer was no longer broken and my life changed— Colors became more vivid. Birdsong sounds sweeter. Food tastes better. My wife got even hotter. And I even discovered the secret to nuclear fusion!
Joking aside, ever since switching to Linux, my machine had never run better.
You got $30? Some of us are so poor that even $30 has to be planned and budgeted for. And most places want all $30 for the year up front and won't split it up into monthly payments. Not everyone can just plop down $30 at a moment's notice.
Yeah this post seems kinda sus considering how many times they've avoided saying what game it is. And not wanting to use Steam at all? Steam is the one corp you can still have some trust in. I see a post like this and it reeks of them doing something most likely illegal in a bad way, or they are a bad actor trying to fuck with our shit again. Either that or they're a weeb that's too embarrassed to name the furry porn game they're looking for.
My laptop is pretty dang portable. It may not fit in a pocket or what have you, but I carry a backpack anyway. And does windows provide emulators? I just pulled up a huge list, right on Discover Software Center and there are at least a couple different emulators for every major (and even some minor) console, handheld, arcade, and even a DOS emulator for DOS games. Hell, I even have Space Cadet Pinball on this thing. Yeah I've pirated on windows, and it's not as easy, unless you're talking about music production software, but that's a whole other beast. Don't get me wrong, Steam Deck is awesome and I would love to get one, but $650 is a hefty chunk of change for a lot of people, and considering I'm trying to save up for a Framework, I'm not interested in spending that kind of money right now.
