There was an article recently talking about how forums are still around. Has a decent list too:

I can’t play anything that requires precision aiming with a controller.

A Steam Controller though? I’m way better. Especially with the gyro aiming or micro adjustments on the touchpads.

I know they are discontinued but as someone like you who had a rough time with those types of games without a mouse, I’d see if you can find a steam controller on ebay or something.

But I don’t play FPSes at all any more really. And with games like cyberpunk, I’m always more stealth than action oriented so it hasn’t been a problem. And when I have to use a normal controller and am forced to aim, I heavily rely on aim assist settings. I don’t care 😂

Personally I stopped custom roms a while back. I’m not hardcore in the anti-google camp though.

If you are, obviously custom roms will be all you should be looking at. Tons of good recommendations in this thread already.

If you’re not in this camp though, the default pixel experience has been great for me and might be for you. I find it the least annoying of the oem experiences (not cluttered in features I’ll never use, simplified settings menu where I’ve never had to use the search on since it all made sense etc).

I’d say use the stock rom for a few weeks. If you hate it, custom roms are always there for you.

If you have a file manager app installed you should get that as an option for most content (I use Amaze).

Welcome!

This was pretty much my reaction as well.

The Minisforum HX80G. That’s the older model. They have the HX99G, HX100G and others now. They all range in price but Amazon has sales.

I picked mine up for $650.

I’m the same way but I bought one of those mini pcs that has a laptop cpu/gpu in it, installed ChimeraOS on it which essentially turned it into a steamdeck.

I have that hooked up to my living room tv and it’s my main gaming device. It’s essentially a console. I never upgrade anything. It runs what I play at 1080p with med or high settings.

Suits me just fine. I mainly just want to sit on my couch and game on the TV instead of being at a desk like I did years ago.

Ah OK. Every time someone asks how to find other communities, I see that Lemmy Explorer site linked, which is why I searched there and was confused why this community wasn’t on there.

Nice to know it’s showing up in other indexers though.

Like others have mentioned, I am in the same boat of having multiple communities to follow with the same name but on different instances and I forget about others or (more likely) don’t even know that others exist.

It does bug me that I can’t group communities that exist on different instances together. It would be nice to be able to subscribe to a collection of communities that I can give a label to.

A way to group all patientgamers communities together would be a huge help.

It’s just the way the whole federation stuff works I guess. And I like it…Except for when I don’t 😂

That would be really awesome of you!

After I’ve picked two winners, we can have you pick two more and you can send them the codes directly as well.

We can make it the giveaway part 2.

When we get to announcing winners I’ll message you!

Thanks!

It’s more like thanks to everyone who has been posting and commenting in the last year and keeping the tone/mood of this place chill, inviting and friendly, which is all I wanted.

Apparently I hadn’t checked in a while, because Steam used to not have digital gifts, I swear! But Yay, I do see they offer gifting digital codes now.

Thanks for the info!

I just checked and I already had that in my wishlist! Definitely looks cool

This has definitely been the case with me as well. Especially as I got older and had less time to play anything.

I’ve always been partial to story over mechanics though. I just think the preference has tilted much further in favor of story games now.

Found some info on this place:

Trying to figure out why this post is so down voted.

I looked up the game and it was released 3 yrs ago.

It’s recent but it’s not new so it’s not really incorrectly posted here vs a normal games community, right?

Is there some other info about this I don’t know about?

Trying not to moderate too much here. And I haven’t needed to really. Everyone’s been great with posting great stuff here overall.

Just was curious.

No worries.

I’ll be removing this post now though.

This is not a post that fits what this sub is about. Going to remove it now, sorry.
