N.A.N.Y. 2023 / Re: NANY 2023 Release: QR Code Warlock
« on: February 03, 2023, 01:09 AM »
I had forgotten to check it out, and KodeZwerg's post reminded me of this. Useful utility! Nice, simple, and effective.

One minor nitpick/feature request: Is there any way to align the size of the overlay (or its background) to the pixel grid so there's not partial pixels sticking out from behind it? IMO it would generate much more aesthetically pleasing QR codes that way.

Not that it much matter, but why does it show my used path with a drive letter of "?" ?

The Quick Tips in the OP says ?:/ is a kind of macro which represents the same drive the app is on.

Yeah. I haven't done as many different things with the Deck (so far) as I expected to. But I've done a ton more gaming because of it than I've done in recent years. :D

I've been eagerly awaiting the "next" stable update to Steam OS which was supposed to include the feature of automatically mounting any external drives that were formatted to the ext4 filesystem. I have an external drive connected to the dock by my TV with some games installed to it that I figured I'd pretty much only want to play when I was at the TV, such as local multiplayer games.

Well, I learned that the update I was waiting for actually happened some time in mid-December and yet... I'm not seeing my external drive automatically get mounted when I connect or boot up the Deck in the dock. :(

Heh heh. Thank you! ;D

I take it that my response in this thread gave the impression that I was saying today is my birthday. But just to clarify: I didn't say today was my birthday and I didn't intend to give that impression. :)

Nonetheless, I'm very delighted by the response. It certainly brightened my day. :D I've been grinning like an idiot for the past ten minutes while figuring out what prompted this thread. So thank you, once again!

Ah. You were talking about reviews by games journalists. I'm not surprised they didn't like it. ;D

After watching it I would have to say it is not a game with the most complex ecosystem. Interesting but that's about it.
-nickodemos (December 30, 2022, 05:29 PM)

Agreed. I felt like the guy was saying a whole bunch of stuff in the game was unintended/emergent interactions, but it looks to me like it was all designed to behave the way it does. Very interesting to see and learn about, but far from "the most complex ecosystem" in any game.

Thanks for sharing the video, mouser. I enjoyed watching it and learning more about the game, even if I disagree with the basic premise of the video.

Reviews don't seem so good.
-mouser (December 30, 2022, 03:28 AM)
No?

94% of the 396 user reviews in the past 30 days are positive.
92% of all the 7,044 user reviews are positive.

Unless it's one of those games where it's widely just a meme to leave a positive review, I'm not sure I'd agree with your assessment.

Steam have released a new feature that allows you to look back on your play history over the past year.

You can find yours here and share it if you'd like:

https://store.steampowered.com/replay/

The past couple of years I've actually been keeping a text file log of the games I played each year for at least one hour. Last year there was only one game on Steam that I spent 1+ hours playing, and it was a mod for a game I bought a decade ago (Terraria Calamity Mod). In other words, my activity on Steam was at an all-time low last year. This year, thanks to the Steam Deck and my discovery of frequent sales/deals on Fanatical, there were 40+ games on Steam I spent at least one hour with.

Here's my Steam Replay for 2022:

Well, I figured my new Wireless Xbox Controller would be useful in that I could use it with a cable at my PC and use it wirelessly with the Deck. But even though I've had it for about a month, I only recently actually tried wireless (Bluetooth) play on the Deck and I'm not impressed. I experienced pretty severe and inconsistent input lag. Sometimes it was totally unresponsive for several seconds. Other times it was like it was "fast forwarding" through a bunch of buffered inputs, trying to catch up all at once. Other times it was about a half second of pushing or letting go of a button before seeing the appropriate response on screen. Other times it was pretty close to how I'd expect if it was wired.

Oh, and it wasn't just the Xbox Controller. I also had two Nintendo Joy-Cons connected via Bluetooth and the person who was using them also complained of unresponsiveness. And in fact, at one point one of the Joycons disconnected and refused to reconnect until I opened up the Deck's settings and told it to forget about the Joycon and paired it again.

And this was only 5-10 feet away with direct line of sight between controllers and the Deck.

This is my first experience with a wireless controller on anything except an actual console that the wireless controller was designed for. Is this... normal? Is this how all Bluetooth controllers work on all computers? Is it just the Deck's hardware? Is it just my Deck?



Come to think of it, I have connected a Nintendo Switch Online SNES controller via Bluetooth to my Deck before, for a relatively short time, and I don't remember any issues like this with that. But that might have been the 64 GB Deck, before my 512 GB Deck arrived.
