Yeah it is actually pretty amazing how good performance dayz gets on the deck, even on deathmatch servers with 25+ players in a small area it runs great.
The gunplay is superb especially with some of the more common weapon mods.
Not sure why arma 3 runs so much worse in comparison, the difference is massive.
Honestly mostly been learning blender, I am sure sure nobody ever intended blender to be used on a handheld gaming system but that is the beauty of the steam deck right?
Also been playing some everdell.
Coincidentally I had just downloaded Apex to start playing with a friend :(
I’m sorry I am not trying to dispute the spirit of your respose but I have to disagree, freight trains are thousands of feet long and haul unbelievably large quantities of material, the idea that it is inefficient to have a human (really a pair of humans) oversee and be responsible for a machine that large is laughable honestly.
…so is the idea that there is a genuine shortage of people willing to work as conductors, it is a convenient lie companies tell to rationalize why nobody wants to work for them because they pay shit and respect their employees so little that they won’t even give them unpaid time for necessary doctors appointments (see recent action of US train workers).
This point is even more true for passenger trains.
It is a massive responsibility we can afford to pay two humans to do it, a certain micro amount of inefficiency is ok.
Why do we need to get rid of the job of human radio presenter?
Techbros keep telling me AI frees people up to stop working shitty jobs and pursue their dreams, but the truth is none of these tech evangelists give a shit about anyone’s dreams if they aren’t some lame vision of factorio where the factories pollute the planet churning out ripoffs of human culture.
I dont mean to be annoying if this has been suggested to you but try adding gyro.
Also thumbstick grips that raise the stick height can help massively depending on your hand shape.
The thing about zomboid is…it just makes me want to play cataclysm dark days ahead with the sky island mod and I get itchy without that brilliant anarchism and freedom cataclysm brings to the entire experience.
Zomboid will get there, and it isnt bad by any means.
7 days to die also runs great on the deck (tho it is 3d fps/tps) and has quite a few good modpacks that use it as a base, easy to underappreciate the game because development has been all over the place.
Another game to think about, dayz (modded and vanilla) actually runs decent on the deck.
Why not play Fight The Landlord tho
hell yeah blender is awesome
honestly I prefer games have really good hearing accessibility options and UI so I can mute the game and play while I listen to an audiobook with my partner… and then my shure aonic 50 bt/wired headphones, third favorite being sony xm3/xm4 (and newer versions) bt/wired headphones.
the dark wizards have no shame in twisting their magic into hideous forbidden forms!
breathlessly storms out the door with pitchfork in hand
chaaaaaarge!
damn I have been using this damn program for… decades?
I have been yelling at it in frustration for equally as long… but seriously in terms of raw, no bullshit, consistent utility to people, GIMP deserves an immense amount of credit.
darktable kicks ass and I say that as someone who hates editing photos almost as much as I like taking them!
fyi at least in the US you are only legally allowed to make death threats (or carry them out for that matter) if you are actively driving a motor vehicle at the time, please for your own safety if you are going to murder someone or threaten to murder them, do it behind the wheel of a motor vehicle or you could end up in serious trouble with the law!
Fragmentation is a concern but it isn’t the real issue, the issue is corporate capture of the commons as far as I am concerned.
I will never not be pissed off that the overwhelming majority of communities that made the internet vibrant especially when nerding out about niche stuff just happily moved to discord and foreclosed their futures.
Everytime I get down on the fediverse I think about what discord did to online communities I loved and I get fired up again.
Fundamentally you dont have to let the game you are playing perceive the gyro input directly at all, the game sees it as mouse or gyro input. That being said make sure you arent sending joystick input and mouse input at the same time, that can break things in many weird ways.
The simplest solution is just to make everything appear like mouse and keyboard which again bypasses the game having anything to do with gyro input before it is safely converted to normal mouse input.
See my comment here if you need help finding and copying steam configs.
careful just like how violent video games will make you a stone cold killer addicted to violence eventually the addiction to speed will consume you until you become a lawless street racer straight out of midnight club. I have seen it happen over and over again to friends, eventually consequences always catch up with them… and they always end up losing their car in pink slip races to some new guy to the street racing scene who is shooting up the ranks improbably quickly and even has the eye of the coolest-most-badass street racer’s hot ex (who also street races)… it is a damn shame .
Hey, can I join in!
Fuck you Microsoft
Just install blender from the discover app on the steam desktop, add it to steam as a non-steam game and you can launch it as you would any other game.
As for controls I prefer joysticks + gyro, but that is just me.
