Fart of Presto posted:If we are doing remote logon, any software that are easy to use, especially for him? As others have answered, gotta do the whole remote login song and dance. DrNutt has also addressed the other caveat. It's ideal to library share with someone in a different time zone for that reason, or one of you use offline mode exclusively. I think the easiest thing to use is Chrome Remote Desktop, especially if they already use Chrome. Download and install one thing from the link, generate a code and send it to you. You can then do the entire thing with login etc. Help article

Anonymous Robot posted:Well, I bought Cook Serve Delicious 3 and I cannot get it to recognize our Xbox One pads under any circumstances. Restarted the game, tried it with controllers on before launching and connecting them after launching, fiddled with all the settings. This one might have to be a refund for me. Do you normally use controllers with your PC? Are you using Steam to manage your controller bindings?

tildes posted:I'm very late on this, but A Short Hike was really good. Especially given that (1) the world is a bit depressing and (2) you can't go outside much, it was really ideal. Such a chill exploration of a small open world with pretty satisfying traversal mechanics. You're basically a bird who goes on a short hike, as the title suggests. Would definitely recommend -- it's maybe 1-2 very pleasant hours in total. I spent 3 hours 100%-ing it, it's really good! The only thing I wish I had known before is that you can play at native resolution: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1055540/discussions/0/2944710017721269891/

Soysaucebeast posted:Hey so weird question. I got an Nvidia Shield about a week ago, and my boyfriend has been playing KOTOR2 on it. But whenever he hits a cutscene either in GeForce Now (through my steam library) or Steam Link, the entire screen just goes black. The sound keeps going, and he can bring up pause menus, but the game never starts displaying again. I saw something on reddit about editing the .ini files, but he's not wanting to mess with that. Do any of you know what's going on with that, or can you tell me if there's a better thread to ask in? Have you updated it to the latest drivers? ini files are plain text configuration files designed to be modified. You can open them in notepad. You can back up the original before you modify it. Some games/programs will even work if you delete the entire file and replace it with a fresh copy. You could test that with your freshly-backed-up original even before you do anything at all. Random post says: That very well might be a manifestation of one of the current release' known issues : Screen corruption/crash/android frameworks restart/ during video playback.

Omi no Kami posted:I'm having trouble keeping my studio hijinks straight... is Snowrunner by the original dev, or is it the company that allegedly(?) stole his source code publishing new stuff with his original work? (Also, is it any good? It looks like the dark souls of European trucking games, but also kinda janky as gently caress.) My understanding/research indicates this: Spintires was published/'developed'(subcontracted to?) Oovee. The person who created the game was Pavel Zagrebelnyy. He was alleging he didn't have access to the game to update it and they didn't pay him. They later made up. Pavel went to work at Saber Interactive working on the first sequel, Mudrunner. Oovee did license parts of the game which was Pavel's code to Saber however. They claim he sold them all the rights etc. He's probably still working at Saber on this game series though? I haven't played Snowrunner yet, but Spintires and Mudrunner were both fun. I'd wholeheartedly recommend both, and probably Snowrunner too barring anything wrong with it.

Brocktoon posted:Steam client question: I’m a complete psychopath that has added all of my SCUMM and GoG games into Steam complete with icons, logos and header images. I’m about to move to a new computer, so is there a simple way to transfer all that over or will I have to do it all from scratch again? Depressurizer backs up your categories locally, but I'm not sure if it does the images, etc. I did some poking around for you, and I think just backing up/copying the Steam\userdata\##\config, or at a minimum the grid & librarycache folders for 10 digit numbered files and shortcuts.vdf & localconfig.vdf should do it?

Blattdorf posted:Running in this game is slower than walking in Dear Esther. How they can stand it, I have no idea. It's terribly slow in VR too. the only way you could move faster with VR would be some sort of real-life running back and forth while spinning the game world 180 at either end so you're going in one direction. that sounds like some "get sick instantly" stuff though. i also refunded it for walking speed, but i played exclusively in VR

Quill posted:When it comes to ARPGs, I can say that Grim Dawn gives most bang for your buck. There are plenty of weapons and off-hands that you can combine, each with their own properties. One of my hardest hitting characters is a duel-wielder. If you do end up trying this, I'd recommend getting both DLCs as they are excellent and currently at a deep discount. 30% is deep? The game itself is 80% off sure, but the DLCs are nearer full price than not.

zoux posted:I'm asking this over here too since it gets quite a bit more traffic but I'm closing in on 600 hours on Dyson Sphere Project and I'm getting to a point where I can see considering maybe playing something else, some weeks or months down the line. Excluding Factorio and Satisfactory, what games are going to compare to DSP? I don't mean strictly "space factory game" but I like the gameplay loop and progression model especially, where you get to a point where there's a billion things in your world and you're like "I made all of these things". I don't know if I'm looking for gameplay as much as a vibe. again, different gameplay, but in the x-series of space games, you can build up an empire, but the galaxy is already existing. at least in the last good one which is getting a free expansion* soon, x3. *if you already own the other dlcs you can set up shop in nearly empty or maybe completely empty systems, i can't remember which. so almost everything at your star would be yours, but the rest of the gameworld would not.

Asking for a friend who owns a 65% keyboard If it's not a mass-market keyboard there's a chance it runs qmk in which case just add a layer with numpad keys. otherwise, you could use autohotkey to remap your keyboard to have numpad keys while you play. If you have Windows, you can do the same through the registry in a cleaner implementation. You do have to keep two reg files to swap around but it'll almost definitely work; https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/misc/Remap.htm#registry

While I haven't played Empire, generally his games have always been fun to play, even if it looks like poo poo. There have been some years the WWE game was so piss-poor it was a legitimately better option to play the one-man game. If you've ever liked a wrestling game, I think you'd like Mdickie's.

It should work with sound/music completely off, ideally something casual so I don't have to worry about missing out on important plot details. I use NGU Idle somethings, but when I want something more active I'm using Everyday Genius: SquareLogic and Shutshimi. More complicated games can work if there are partsof the game I can focuses less attention on - maybe trying to beat a particular set of challenges or collecting something useful. European/American Truck Simulator. Perfect for listening to podcasts along the open road. It's my go-to podcast game.

The sequel is currently on sale, but the way they sell the game is really... weird. You can dl for free, but then you have to pay for DLC, but it's not all the DLC, just the standard edition. What? The levels are "DLC" so you don't have to download and keep them all installed. If you liked 2018, I think 2 is a safe bet.

In which case, yes, two new levels and two new sniper-minigame maps are the big differences. New York / Bank and Haven Island / Resort are the levels if you want to check em out on Youtube. They're fairly small, but still are well built like the other levels.
