Thanks for the thorough explanation!

Then it’s a mystery why the didn’t use Hall effect joysticks. It the cost of the part so much more expensive?

While Nintendo is absolutely to blame for not fixing the situation, I’ve heard they were not going for hall effect sticks because of the interference with the joycons magnets.

Full disclosure, I have no Switch, Retrodeck Enthusiast here 😁

Es ist ein sehr beeindruckend Auswahl 😮

Ich würde gerne “the invincible” probieren bitte !

There was this post on Reddit listing some PRs opened by AI at .NET: https://www.reddit.com/r/ExperiencedDevs/comments/1krttqo/my_new_hobby_watching_ai_slowly_drive_microsoft/?share_id=ks1HasJ2tqDuCOW6TCYTz

It’s pretty funny and depressing at the same time…

I use that on my monitors, tablet, steam deck and it has always worked perfectly. Bought it in 2012 and it’s still not empty 😂

What guarantees you that your cheap Chinese-made charge-only cable does not actually contain some malware injection in the hardware (connectors or cable rim) :p

Sorry for the naive question, but is it not possible to send the excess electricity to the ground (in the electrical sense)?

Thanks for the news!

Since I am in holidays, away from my gaming computer, I’ve only played Bloons TD6 and a bit of Vampire Survivors…

On the other hand, my daughter took my new Steam Deck and played:

• Koa and the Five Pirates of Mara. A nice platforming game, a bit small on the screen of the Deck.
• Monster Sanctuary. A Pokémon-like Metroidvania, with turn-based battles alla old Final Fantasy games. This one is perfect for the Deck.

I played GTA from GTA 1 to GTA 4. I have always been more interested by the story and the atmosphere rather than the free roaming.

What I can say about them:

• 1 and 2 : a shock. Being so mean and bad was cathartic for me, it was really mind blowing as I am a “too nice” guy
• GTA 3 : a revolution. Discovering the game on the PS2 of a friend, I was drooling over the beautiful 3D models, the music, everything. I had to wait a bunch of time to get it on PC though.
• Vice City : wonderful atmosphere, the colours, the music. The story over the top. My favourite.
• San Andreas: not bad. The missions were interesting, but I felt no connection with the “boys in the hood” atmosphere. At the time, I listened very few hip hop so the whole gangsta rap hype was not interesting to me.
• GTA 4: I liked the settings, “russian immigrants”. The campaign was cool. However all the rest felt a chore… The mandatory mini games with the gangster calling you every 10 minutes and being angry if I don’t go bowling with him was ridiculous.

Then I gave up GTA all together. To be frank, I was a bit fed up with the American settings. Always the same street, atmosphere, culture… On the other hand, other games like Sleeping Dogs were a breath of fresh air. You really feel in another environment, and something as simple as driving left on the road is a great change.
