3·9 days agoWell, I did say “maybe with a real d-pad”, it’s just the thumbsticks that aren’t necessary.
I actually did play with the Steam Controller for years using the trackpad as d-pad. It was more of a comfort thing that made it less than ideal which was due to the shape/texture of the original SC, but I could live without it personally if it’s done right.
I’ve even played shmups with it, with the right settings, but I get there is a learning curve and its easier to use a physical d-pad.
I understand the trackpads somewhat since they take up space, but the lack of back buttons is inexcusable.
Personally though, I’d buy a trackpad only deck (maybe with a real d-pad) but I know I’m in the minority on that one.

The ZOTAC handheld looks interesting, and while it’s nice to see decently sized touchpads, they are very low on the device and it seems like that would be uncomfortable to use.
A bunch of back buttons would have mitigated the issue a little, but it seems like there is only two, which is a shame.
It’s a bit of both, along with the Linux AMD drivers being superior in many cases to the Windows drivers.
I’ll add for completeness that vkd3d-proton handles DX12 titles, and of course OGL and Vulkan are supported natively.
In some states like WA and Queensland but not all. It should be nation wide.
They should really make it free for everyone if they want increased uptake. It’s not exactly expensive, but any price at all is going to disincentivise people.
For me, it’s not the steam machine itself but the peripherals like the steam controller that would come with it. There still isn’t a proper replacement for the original SC that has: trackpads, gyro, back buttons, and full steam input support.
Everything else is missing trackpads and aimed at emulating a console controller, so you get weird situations where one mode supports gyro because it emulates a switch controller but doesn’t support the back buttons and analog triggers, and another supports the back buttons and analog triggers but not gyro.
Funnily enough, the steam deck itself is the best option as a controller if you want all of these features.
Of course, a new steam machine wouldn’t be required for a new SC to happen, but it makes sense to pair them, as they did originally.
He lobbied the party to oppose the bill. Which is unsurprising, because he prevented an abortion bill from being available during his time in the Howard government as health minister. And because he is an extreme right-wing religious ideologue that still has power in the party.
2·1 month agoI was reading the first part of your comment thinking that anything left of the greens is too nutty for me, but then I would absolutely vote for any of those three policies.
This is a pretty common view where people think the Greens (or left of that) are extremist, but when given actual Green’s policies tend to prefer those policies when polled.
Reminds me of all of the back and forth between optional and full preferential voting at the state level. Usually the change would only happen because the government at the time thought they would benefit from it, only for it to backfire an election cycle or two later.
Also I’m cracking up at Andrew Bolt blaming the voters for the loss:
“No, the voters aren’t always right. This time they were wrong,” Bolt wrote. The reason for the loss? It was because the Liberal party “refused to fight the ‘culture wars’”.
On the one hand, a bit disappointed that the Greens haven’t done amazingly on results so far. But I have a huge sense of relief that Dutton and the Coalition have been soundly rejected.
PollBludger calling Dickson for Labor.
Interesting, which electorate? I redid the survey and got the same results (could be consistent with IP).
It’s possible to match with Palmer just because he’s throwing out a bunch of policies that might sound good but have no logical consistency or anything backing it. Probably the survey should account for that if it isn’t already.
In any case, you can select your own preferences and build your own paper, which is the main reason I posted it. Ideally it would let you skip the survey process too, particularly since it requires an email at the end (I used a throwaway).

They are violating the GPL by not including source code for their modifications. I’m not sure about using the word “stolen” in this context though, but I suppose language evolves.
A dick move in any case.
