Joe is playing : Fallout new vegas

Joe is playing : Fallout new vegas

Hah, buggyy as fuck

This is me 15 minutes before refunding a game due to compatibility issues on Proton.

[–] NOPper@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I haven't found too many of those over the years. Lucky me I guess?

[–] binarytobis@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I haven’t run into one at all yet. Either proton got better before I switched, or I’m lucky.

[–] otacon239@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I’ve been eternally cursed by the “it should just work”, especially in the world of Linux. For every game that launches fine with no support listed, there’s another that lists Steam Deck compatibility and I can’t even make it to the loading screen.

I’ve tried half a dozen OSs with Proton over the years at this point and every time I turn the corner after explaining my setup, someone whips around telling me my entire setup was never going to work in the first place and I should have been using this stack instead.

I’m just tired, so usually, I’ll put about 30 minutes of effort of trying random bullshit from ProtonDB before realizing my time is worth more than troubleshooting a video game.

[–] BremboTheFourth@piefed.ca 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Really? Damn, I can't remember the last time I tried launching a Steam game and it didn't work. What are you trying to play?

[–] otacon239@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Most recent example was Horizon 6. 4 and 5 run without a hitch and the world looked really promising. Made it over the first crest of a hill and crashed every time. Tons of missing textures in the 7 seconds of gameplay I got to see.

I refunded it and got 007 instead and I think I’m having more fun with that than I would have with Horizon anyway.

[–] JohnWorks@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

Yeah horizon is a weird one I've heard for some it's completely broken and some works totally fine.

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 18 points 2 days ago (1 children)

In Joe's defense, Balatro is fucking dope

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yes. The point is more that balatro is a lot easier to run.

Except when you are trying to go NaNeInf

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago

I've only hit Ante 13 so far. I've got a looong way to go!

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I've got this one friend and he plays Skyrim three or four times a day for less than ten minutes.

Strangest thing.

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days ago

Porn mods and a short fuse.

[–] Sabata11792@ani.social 10 points 2 days ago

My friend called me out doing this with Rimworld. The mod list must grow.

[–] emerald@lemmy.blahaj.zone 123 points 2 days ago (2 children)
[–] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca 17 points 2 days ago

"Alright Frank, let's get one for the kids. Turn the ball cap around and let's do another take like that."

[–] seathru@quokk.au 2 points 2 days ago

It ain't got no gas in it.

[–] iocase@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago

OTOH this is how I find out about fun new single player games (my favorite type of game) since all of my friends are more unemployed than I am and find the good shit before me.

[–] CaptDust@sh.itjust.works 46 points 2 days ago (3 children)

I go invisible specifically to not annoy people while I dick around with launch options :3

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 46 points 2 days ago (2 children)

You turn invisible off?

I see what my profile looks like sometimes ("last online 150 days ago") and quickly toggle it just so people don't think I cuddled a moving bus or something

cuddled a moving bus

got a chuckle out of me, thanks for that one.

[–] Holytimes@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

I hear cuddling a moving bus has some nasty side effects like responsibility and haremitis.

I simply don't have friends.

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 days ago

I go invisible because I legit don't remember who any of my steam friends are IRL and I just don't want to delete them.

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 38 points 2 days ago (2 children)
[–] FinjaminPoach@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago

The pain of steam is that i love grinding at achievements to show them off to people but i don't like playing videogames with people so i don't really have anyone to see or appreciate my achievments. But then again, i'm doing it for myself 😄

[–] remotedev@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I have my wife, and my brother in law that I play with. And then one guy that played space engineers with us and helped us build a big ass ship and then his friends logged on so he left us

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)
[–] RickyRigatoni@piefed.zip 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I also game with that guy's wife.

[–] toynbee@piefed.social 1 points 1 day ago

That's a classic reference and among my favorites.

[–] Zozano@aussie.zone 4 points 1 day ago

Fun fact: instead of going invisible, you can mark games as private.

They won't show up as recently played, on your profile, and other people won't see you're in-game, but at least you're not announcing to the world what you're doing.

Conversely, if you're annoyed by others, you can turn those notifications off.

[–] TheEighthDoctor@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 day ago

It's especially cool when it's your coworkers during the workday and they are not answering your messages.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I wish I had some steam friends so this meme would be relatable

[–] iocase@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'll friend you on steam if you want

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Sure, this is my profile: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197997169822 I think my steam username is Guy Montag

[–] GhostFace@lemmy.today 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

At least I know I'm not that person. I don't like being stalked so I keep invisible on always.

[–] Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I've achieved the same effect by not logging in six years.

[–] Holytimes@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Ahh your the dead person on the friend list!

I let everyone know I was logging off and not planning on dying anytime soon. I stopped playing games all the time and started doing other things. Real things with real results. I still play some really old games but its just filler for when I have nothing else to do a the moment.

[–] sirimeow@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I turned off those notifications years ago when someone was apparently messing around with a game for a few days. Was getting spammed so much lol

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I set myself to invisible at all times. My friends can message me if they want to do shit but they don't need to know my status at all times. Too many motherfuckers messaging me the instant I appear online.

[–] sirimeow@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

I do the same. It's nice to not broadcast what you're doing all the time

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

yelling “You gotta prime it!”

[–] Screen_Shatter@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

Ive already logged off my friends list because I'm kind of embarrassed I cant get this damn game to work properly and need to restart again.

[–] einlander@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

It's more like a domestic argument. You know they are fighting with each other and maybe trying to change things, but it's not working out. And you just don't want to get involved or reminded.

[–] Widdershins@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

How does the Deck factor in here? Does it ping my friends I'm playing the same game every time I take it out of sleep?

[–] Holytimes@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago

Based on my friend list.... Yes.

[–] trainsrkool@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 days ago

Excuse me I dont come here to be personally attacked like this!

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today -4 points 2 days ago

Y'all have normalized a surveillance state so hard.
