I mean, this thing already has Xinput, so you can already use Steam Controller configuration with it.
I wouldn't bet on Smach Z ever coming out. Not with the specs they want to have, anyway.

Destiny 2 isn't out? Feels like it came out year ago for consoles.
Useless. I want reasonable mouse input - ie velocity based input. That's going to need a trackpad / trackball or something. It is not remotely reasonable to try and play Civ IV with Xinput, enjoy shooters in a way I feel comfortable. Shit I play Starcraft 2 with the SC and enjoy it on a TV. Xinput is useless there. I'm a niche but that's what I'm after since a lot of what I play is oriented that way
Which is exactly my point. The whole thing is questionable. Switch would get my money if Nintendo weren't such a dumpster fire with digital, pricing, perpetuity and longevity of service - obviously I lose out on all my games this way and the wealth of PC stuff I have, when I specifically want a PC type device for that reason, but Switch is more specifically for Nintendo games. What I need is a PC thing that benefits for years of great games. I don't need it to be a powerhouse
Eventually someone will make the thing I'm after, I hope.
It releases for PC in six days.
It is now. 37.73GB.
I am playing with my buddy over the weekend. We are also in Act 3 after 70 hours, but had some issues with quest bugs (not doing some quests in the right order) and probably have 25 quests total that we didnt finish in Act 1 and 2 (the bugged quests shouldnt be more than 5, the other quests we couldnt figure out how to progress or solve, the Questsystem is a little rudimentary and not helpfull. (Really, in one quest there is just a text with "we found blood, we should investigate this" I don't even know where we found the blood.
All in all, it is a great game with great combat and mediocre questsystem. I will probably start a new game solo in english and play with a walkthrough after we finish our coop game.
what'd you think about a trackpad attachment that could be put on the side of the Win?

The watch dogs weapon crate missions end with an open warehouse and ten dudes that I perfectly took down. Then you have about 30 seconds and a set of about eight care shows up full of dudes and then a wave of super heavies flanked by heavies. Uh yeah, explode mode going on after the first set.
You are right that a custom solution would be very slick.
Does GPD make their case schematics available?

I'm playing solo and I can't possibly imagine how anyone can co-ordinate schedules between people to play this co-op. Unless you are living with the other person/people it seems impossible to me. There is SO MUCH to do.
Is it still worth to play DOS1, or does the sequel make the first one unnecessary?

Bethesda sent in Kokichi Oma?
Fair enough. The mansion changing constantly is one of my favourite things about the game and I thought the jump scares were reasonable in frequency.
Going to try DreadOut next.
Of course its worth playing. Its still one of the all time greats in the genre even if 2 is better in most ways.
Play them both
Love them both
They are separate entities in the lore. Two takes places thousands of years after one, so there is no real narrative link other than some fun call backs and references to the past. So don't feel compelled for that reason.
DOS1 is still a fun game to play, but DOS2 has much stronger writing (so far). The side quest stuff is still weird and fun though so if you're into that then you can play either game and have a good time. They revamped the skills and attributes in DOS2, but both systems seem very exploitable albeit in different ways.
I'd give the nod to DOS2 since the writing and main quest story are much stronger, but DOS1 has an appeal as well in the silly sidequests and humor. DOS1 does feel like it is trying much harder to be funny than DOS2.
No Devolver Digital reps? Results invalid.

They're busy restructuring after the Official Dreamcast Magazine buyout.
I understand they hit rough times after they had to cancel the Hatoful Boyfriend Battle Royale mode

I do and it won't because Humble needs to send me a key, I guess.
It's a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world.
Yep, the compact thing. I'd recommend using the command line for massive amounts of files at once, the compact GUI thing seemed to freeze up partway through. Couldn't bring up the window or anything.
Because you have the beta installed and it's updating that.
They are different enough to make each stand out. I would recommend to start with OS1 actually. You'll have a better time right away in OS2, less time figuring out the basics, more time messing with stuff.
Some joycon-like attachments would be great for this kind of PC.

Would love to jump into but because of school, work and some releases of some other games I wont be able to give it my full attention until the beginning of next year. From what Ive seen and heard its sounds fantastic.

Friend of mine released their game on Steam.
Point and click adventure game.
Nice art style. Wishlisted.

As a Brit I can testify that this is a 100% accurate representation of school life.
how do you know what I have installed? is that some sort of Australian hacking trick?

If I've been redeeming all my leftover Humble codes and Steam tells me I need to chill for a bit, how long do they usually mean?
The main thing that bothered me with Risen 3, and made me stop partway through was how little I cared about the larger world. Once you played through one of the faction and joined them, you had to do quests on the other islands. And it just felt like they copied the same quests and ideas, with slightly different packaging. And I really couldn't give a fuck about the larger threat, the Titans or whatever. It just doesn't work when everything important happens of screen or in boring cutscenes.
I did hear that Elex seems to do quests better, though, with actual choices to make.
I'd say that depends on your time to play games / games you want to play ratio.
For me, for a game as good as D:OS, I'd always argue in favour of playing it first. (Because the sequel is improved in many areas, which might seem lackng if you later figure out that you want to play D:OS1 as well after having played the second.
It's not like there is a story necessity for it though.

Argonians? Tsk tsk tsk.
Depends on comfort, but if it worked, yeah I could get into it. SmachZ is too wide as a one piece thing. Switch has the right idea with detachable controllers / big screen that can still be portable. I don't really need to play wirelessly as you can with that, but I do want to have as reduced size as possible when traveling. GPD clamshell is nice, though I'd happily go a bit larger than it is. GPD 2 appears to have improved build quality, which is a major plus to me.

Half an hour I think. If not then a full hour.

Moderating the /r/Steam subreddit. Lately been getting a bunch of phishing scams. I really don't get how people can be this gullible at times.

I got it for 20$ on day one, and it's now 15$ CDKeys. Doubt it'll go much lower than that on sale.
It's a good game and definitely worth checking it out, it has free trial on Steam if you're short on cash and want to give it a spin.
