You know you could do that since forever with a laptop, yeah?

Laptop gamers are having LAN parties every single day.

Even though I have multiple desktops, I couldn't live without the flexibility of gaming wherever I want. It becomes so much more social if the person you are playing with sits next to you.

But good on you that you discovered the wonderfulness that is LAN. (yeah I know it is online, you get what I am saying)

Dunno, gaming laptops never appealed to me.

Cool with regard to the Steam Deck, but ugh, Helldivers 2 is sooo pay-to-win...

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago

Helldivers actually has the least intrusive monetization model i've ever seen, please stfu if you haven't actually played the game. You people are damaging the industry.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Pay 2 win? Where? Genuine question. Played it for 40h after launch, never once felt like paying money?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago (2 children)

You're paying with your time in the queue

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Haven't seen a queue in ages tbh. Weak argument, not to mention that it doesn't make any sense whatsoever

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago

They fixed that weeks ago

How is co-op mode?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago

I don't think there is a co-op "mode", it's co-op only.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago

That's badass!

You right

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

have you ever even seen a nude

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

What are you, a cop?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago

Depeneds, do you have any nudes?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago

It's not dirty, fool.

It was using night sight and indicated it was done before it actually was, which led to the smearing.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I'm so happy Valve pushed the Steam deck the way they did. Didn't expect many games, let alone, Helldivers 2 to run on Linux but it runs first try. No tinkering, nothing.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Yeah it doesn't run great and I won't be doing it often (I don't like playing shooters with controllers anyway) but worked well enough for this particular use-case.

The desktop was Linux also 😃

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I've been playing it by streaming from my home PC using moonlight. runs well and the battery lasts a long time. still have the issue of trying to play helldivers with controller, but it's better. and theoretically since it's not doing the rendering you can hook up an external monitor plus m+k and it'll still run well

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Haven't tried Moonlight. Tried SteamLink and that just failed catastrophically.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago

Moonlight on the deck, sunshine on the PC, tailscale for gloud gaming. Tailscale released a bash script for make the deck install very easy.

I did it the other day for be able to enjoy HFW when not at home and it works much better that Steamlink.

My brother in Christ, how did couch co-op on steam deck take this long to become an idea? Did you think they would need a steam deck as well in order for it to work? Did you never consider the steam deck's biggest selling point (mobility)?

This is some low-bar NoStupidQuestions level shit. Downvote me for being mean if you must but anyone reading this knows I'm right.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

how did couch co-op on steam deck take this long to become an idea?

Well I most play single player. When I do play with others, it's usually from our respective homes. But my brother found himself in town and we both wanted to play and that forced me to think about how we could both do that.

Did you never consider the steam deck's biggest selling point (mobility)?

I did. I play it all over the house and even at my office sometimes.

Downvote me for being mean

Okay.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago

couch co-op is something a game has to implement, not the console. You could do that over with a dedicated pc where all the steam decks remote steam play on it and boom you have 4 remote controllers ( Untested because i dont have so many friends with steamdeck )

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

The most use my steam deck has had is playing guild wars 2 couch coop style with a friend. I have a wireless mouse and keyboard* and it's been fun.

* Actually 3 keyboards because the company shipped the wrong one twice. I'm keyboard rich.

My partner and I are playing through Bokuro this way, and it's so much fun :D
