Songs of Conquest if you’re looking at turn based 4X games.

I believe the N64 was huge in the US, Canada, and Japan, but PlayStation dominated that generation overall. I always preferred the PS graphics, the library, and the controller personally.

It’s kinda weird that the N64 seems to have a much bigger legacy. I think it’s because of Nintendo’s ability to make timeless games that are remembered more fondly than PS ones, but I would argue that games like Spyro, Tekken 3, GT2, and SotN aged just as gracefully as the N64 classics like SM64, Smash, Mario Kart, and OoT. Plus you can play them on a normal controller.

I’m the same: I used it a ton when I first got it and now it’s collecting dust. Here are my personal issues with it:

• I find it a little too big and bulky for 2D, retro, and lo fi games, but too low res and weak for a good experience on most larger/newer 3D games.
• The controls and screen size/res are not adequate for most PC mkb oriented games.
• The size, battery life, and low screen visibility in bright places make it not worth traveling with compared to my Switch.

I guess I essentially just wanted a Switch that could use my Steam library for 2D indies and older games.

Aside from that, I think I also kinda bought it to rejuvenate my interest in gaming, but it only did that for a few months. That has nothing to do with the Deck though.

This means people in the test market are clicking on those ads. Not much we can do about it at that point - it works therefore they’ll use it.

The majority of the aluminum in circulation in the US is recycled. It’s significantly more than even glass and paper. The reason is because it’s much cheaper to use recycled aluminum than raw.

But you’re right when it comes to plastic.

It’s not exclusive to older generations unfortunately.

In Western news and media, everything has to boil down to a good vs evil story. It’s part of the reason our society has become so polarized. In reality, there’s often no good sides in a conflict.

Babe wake up. New US weapons package just dropped.

What exactly is a promise from Facebook worth? You saw what happened to Palmer Luckey (although he is wiping those tears with crisp hundred dollar bills).

Downvoted for stating an easily verifiable fact lol

Sometimes it does seem like everyone’s on a soapbox or cynical crusade about some shit or another and you’re a bad person if you don’t know or care.

Lots of places on Reddit and Twitter also feel that way. I think it’s just an inherent part of mass online interaction.

Idk if that helps your point as it’s simultaneously one of the most studied and least understood things in physics. Although I doubt a creationist could mount that argument.

Oh cool, I didn’t realize that was possible. That would be a great reason to use the plugin. I never really play non controller supported games with the Deck, so I just have the track pads set to mouse and scroll for the occasional desktop task on the host and the paddles set to Moonlight shortcuts.

Is there still an advantage to doing it this way after the desktop Big Picture update? Is it different than using the controller configuration menu on the host PC?

I don’t think they care about this feature. Presumably, they don’t see enough people using it to justify properly maintaining it, much less improving it.

As others have said, Moonlight + Sunshine works much better. Add Moonlight as a non-Steam game on your Deck and set it to launch Big Picture directly on your host. That’s my setup and it’s pretty seamless. Ever since the Big Picture update for the desktop client, I forget I’m even streaming sometimes because the interface is the same.

I can partly understand the frustration. If you bought a Series X/S instead of a PS5, you must have put some amount of faith in Xbox exclusives to make it worth missing out on Sony exclusives. Now, after an abysmal half-generation, it seems like Xbox is giving up on exclusives altogether. So what was the point in buying an Xbox? If PS5 gets all Xbox exclusives, then an Xbox retroactively becomes a really dumb purchase.

It’s a great game by all measures, but it really feels more like a sequel to the last two Divinity games rather than the Baldur’s Gate series. The only thing it really has in common with the old games is the setting, a few recurring characters, and the fact that it’s based on D&D. Otherwise, they are about as different as CRPGs can get.

If you want a spiritual successor to the old infinity engine games, look at the two Pillars of Eternity games and the two Pathfinder games.

Your concern is well placed. Better to enjoy it for what it is, essentially the next Larian/Divinity game. If you want a successor to Baldur’s Gate, it’s in the Pillars of Eternity and Pathfinder series.

I would say they have at least 2 good games (this and Crusader) but I agree. I’m getting really tired of seeing the same games over and over with a new coat of paint and shinier graphics.
