If the instance updated how come it still says 0.19.3 in the web client?

Cleared cookies and it’s now showing the updated version number and version features.

It’s also generally legal if you own the games on the console or physically and can dump them yourself (with the MIG dumper hardware). Of course though you don’t actually have to do that, you can but you don’t have to.

That is true, a lot of games can be played easily with the WASD + Mouse keybinds. Not unusable by any means, but it can be frustrating for people who get thrown off by the on screen prompts corresponding differently than what their controls actually are.

I advise you learn from your brother’s mistake, keep a copy of them somewhere secure that your loved ones will be able to access when you’re no longer around. If you desire to pass it down at least.

Was talking about Turmoil, should’ve been more clear on that, sorry.

It’s mouse and keyboard only though, not impossible but for someone who doesn’t want to fiddle with Steam Input bindings it’s a bit of a pain.

Functionality was never removed from PS2, they simply switched from a native PS1 IOP solution to replicating it in software via a PPC chip.

Depending on their Desktop’s architecture it might be required, arm systems do need to utilize CPU emulation to run programs made for x86-64. It’s not usually as involved as emulation of a console platform but it’s emulation no less.

I would agree that for more power and demanding games you would want one with an external GPU, maybe even more powerful CPU. Though as a SteamDeck user and also looking at it from the perspective of a console gamer in terms of power and price range, something like this would probably fit the bill very well, especially for a cheap living room setup.

There definitely are more powerful options out there for living room setups though, but they also cost more money, which is the main reason they go for consoles, they are (like midrange APU computers) more cost effective.

Might I introduce you to Steam’s Big Picture mode (same one as used on the Steam Deck) same console experience on TV.

It’s funny people using that as an excuse when Steam supports the new big picture mode from SteamOS on basically every OS out there now. You can get the exact same experience of couch based console gaming on PCs now, without really needing to set anything up in terms of custom UIs.

I just bought a Dual-sense controller, I knew I wouldn’t use the PS5, same way I didn’t use (and later sold) the PS4. PS5 controllers are awesome for Steam Games though, also emulation (on linux, windows they can be a pain to set up).

I wonder why no one talks about mini PCs like this one they’re around the same price range as a console (maybe even a bit cheaper) and don’t require nearly as much work as building a PC with parts. If you get it with an OS just set up, install steam and start playing. If you want a couch experience, connect a controller, launch big picture and also start playing.

A majority of games support controller input so they’re basically plug and play, and ones that don’t usually also have a default preset. If anything steam has become almost the same as the console experience, just with extra functionality if you want it.

If it’s a Playstation or Nintendo you get exclusive games, Xbox you don’t really, these games are available on Windows or cloud. Though a lot of exclusives do get re-released on PC so not sure how much of a benefit that is.

There are cheaper and decently powerful mini PCs for about the same cost as a console, probably even a bit cheaper than a game console if you get a deal.

It’s because they are angry trolls who are already angry about something else and are choosing to take it out on others, hence why this guy decided to lash out at you without even paying attention to who he was replying to.

I’d also recommend joining GamesThatHateYou and following the curator since it’ll tell you if a game stopped using Denuivo or just switched to a different but similarly terrible DRM.

For anyone who wants to avoid games that do this kind of shit I can’t recommend the following steam curators enough.

• Denuvo Games
• GamesThatHateYou

They also tell you if a game has had Denuivo in the past and has removed it, in case you don’t just want to avoid Denuivo but developers who use it or ever did in the past.

Not really, it’s still the same architecture they just removed the ports. Every Wii (and even the Wii U) can still play GameCube games via Nintendont because the architecture is the same, just with extra features.

The reason that programs like Nintendont are needed in this case is because they add in the extra input controls so you can use Bluetooth, classic controllers, or even USB GameCube controllers in the games.

gamers aren’t usually a prime target, except for cryptominers…

Don’t many gamers often have a lot of money, considering those huge libraries of games as well as those very expensive PCs, I feel like it would make sense to target them, at the very least for the possibility of commandeering and selling their accounts, plus the ones who download this malware by opting to play games with Anti-cheats and bullying their friends who are unwilling or on the fence into using it, it seems like they would be easy targets.
