Yeah, Kaizen had a really poor showing for a demo. Making a good demo - something that shows off just the right bits of your game while teasing about more - there's an art to that.

I figure that Zach is just really bad at designing demos and the game will be fine.

Öoo, Hirogami, Under the Island, Primal Planet, Escape Simulator 2. I like my puzzles, metroidvanias, and zeldas.

Particle Hearts was one that I didn't click with, but still worth checking out just for its visual style.

I'm pretty sure that this "streamlined, gaming-first" development team will last right up to the moment they come into conflict with any other corporate goal.

You're not doing AI-first? You're not injecting Bing into every experience? Where are all the ads? Oops, so sorry, your role has been made redundant.

Standby time is 99% a function of "how much power the ram takes". If you have less ram, it takes less power to refresh.

Trackpads cost "money", and besides you already have a touchscreen.

The thing that really makes me jealous is the Freesync panel. The secret to getting a battery-powered GPU to keep up with the screen is to stop making it keep up with the screen.

When Heroic adds a game to Steam, it's actually telling Steam to run heroic with a game://gameid argument. So, any such game is already running under the "heroic environment". Running the Steam entry for the game shouldn't be much different from running Heroic and then picking the game from Heroic's list.

I think the thing you really needed was to just give the game one good run in Desktop mode. A lot of times, games use their first (successful) run to install various runtimes, and those installers need to make pop up windows (which Game Mode is not very good at). Running Heroic in Desktop mode to install the game, and doing your first run in Desktop mode is usually enough, and you can run the game just fine in Game mode after that.

Actually, I don't think anything works at Nexusmods. What a shite site.

Ah, they are just having an outage. Maybe the files will exist at some later date.

The link doesn't work, but I might be using the same mod as seen in Steam Community? I has no idea about it having presets, thought it was one-and-done.

Why doesn't anybody bother with tailoring a Windows distro like this?

It's worse than that. MS could quickly turn the boat around. They have the cash. They have the manpower (well, have recently fired). The only thing they don't have is THE ABILITY TO THINK ABOUT ANYTHING BUT AI AI AI AI GOTTA HAVE AI AIIIIIIII. The brainrot has eaten Nadella, and eaten the whole board.

Lol. I was kinda hoping that $80, and "made by the same vendor", and "made by a reputable company" would get me a dock that works better than a $20 SIXLTR off of Amazon.

I think you're a bit better off with SteamOS's gamescope rather than going through gnome-shell.
