Congratulations. I’ve had mine since the launched. Love it. Find what works for you. But i always put the left trackpad as my joystick, and the joystick as a dpad

Some people pay $50-60 for the latest FIFA every year, some people pay $100+ for Netflix every year. Some people buy chips and candy for $100+ a year. Some people buy fastfood for $100+ a year.

How about we just accept that each person get to spend their own money on what makes them happy and leave it at that.

It doesn’t give satisfaction as itself.

Not for you maybe. Because you refuse to see anything beyond “oh they just hate themselves, they’re abuse victims”.

Like most games. It’s a journey, there’s a story waiting to be told. All you have to do is ask the questions.

Some people enjoy the journey you take together with your character. And by the end, you realise that it wasn’t just your character that became stronger. It was you that became stronger. And the castle that’s in ruins is that way for a purpose. Something happened to it. And if you want to discover what that something is. You can.

But you seem like the person that can’t comprehend why someone wants to climb a mountain. Why not just take a helicopter to the top?

You know how Neo at the end of the Matrix finally understood how everything works? When he counters every move Smith makes with ease despite getting his ass kicked just moments earlier at the train station.

That’s the feeling we get from soulsgames when we overcome a challenge.

You thinking SWAT sounds cool is on you. Though the marketing does help, tv series, movies, games etc.

In Sweden we call our equivalent “Strike Force” but in swedish of course. And they basically have access to whatever they need to get the job done. That’s why they exist. And personally, i think their name is pretty cool. It’s very direct and you know instantly upon hearing it what it is they do.

So I use it mostly for soulsgames. I set up the right track pad as mouse. Like I’m rolling a ball that slows down. That’s just how I like it. And then I use the left track pad for moving. Left stick is my Dpad.

I also use the dual stage triggers a lot.

I don’t really like much rumble to begin with so for me it’s great. But I can see why some don’t like it

I’ll sorry to hear that. I suppose I’ve been fortunate enough to never have any issues at all with mine. I will be a sad day when it gives up. I don’t think I could play Elden Ring with any other controller.

I have mine still. Bought it at launch. Never went back. Best controller I’ve ever had the pleasure to use. I genuinly LOVE everything about it. I don’t even want the new one.

Can’t improve upon perfection

I offered an explanation as to why I thought it was the same price in most of Europe.

It’s also quite easy to travel within Europe. So they might think it will get taken advantage of for significantly cheaper prices. Which means less revenue for the publisher.

“Quite a bit of inflation” is a very nice way of saying “the currency is useless”.

I don’t know which currency the developers are paid in. But Valve is paid in whatever currency you spend. How they handle it from there is up to them and their bank(s).

They still have to pay tax in the countries they sell products in. I can’t speak for all countries, but they generally want to be paid in their own currency.

In the end. It’s up to each individual publisher to decide how and where to price their game. It’s a question that has as many answers as there are publishers. I assumed we were all under that understanding but clearly I was mistaken.

Steam does not decide the price. The publisher does.

They used to accept Argentinian pesos. But no one wants it because it’s worthless so that’s why they have to pay in USD.

Because the value of 1 euro is always 1 euro no matter where in EU you live.

Games are priced the same in California as Florida despite California having a higher cost of living.

Same thing. Because 1 dollar is 1 dollar.

You can launch non steam games via steam and get access to their steam controller software.

I have the original too. Best controller I’ve ever used.

They stated that reason very clearly in their original comment. I suggest you read it if you want to know why.

Contact your representative, not your local FOSS maintainer.

They’re not a US citizen.

They also didn’t say they would contact the maintainers. They said they’d just change distro to a non-systemd one.

And you’re nothing but silly trying to act like this isn’t about age “verification”. We know it is, because it comes in response to the new california law

Personally, I just don’t like the taste of asslicking in my distributions. Time to change to a non systemd distro.

The former part has been a thing for hundreds of years.

But yeah I suppose they would use it to change the price dynamically on a constant basis based on demand.

Though I’m not sure that’s even legal to this extent in EU. It’s a product for purchase. Not a stock. But you’re right. It does sound bad.

It’s nothing new. It’s been done for the past 20 years. Products are priced differently in different countries based on their economy.

You have been able to do this in Steam for decades now. You can/could use VPN along with changing your location in steam, to trick it into thinking you are in that region. You would then get that regions prices.

E.g, lots of Steam games used to be noticeably cheaper if Steam thought you were in Russia as opposed to Germany.

It’s not running an individual desktop for each screen. The screens are just mirrored to one desktop.

You’ll usually have a couple of “ad desktops” and then you just hook up multiple screens all over your facility to those desktops, so you have some redundancy and can easily run different ad cycles so they all don’t sync up.
