The Lounge 0001 [From the Beginning]

dunno sounds weird, other than try deleting the driver/reinstall or something

or try to find official non ms driver or something(or try ms if has one etc)

dunno. I didn’t happen all day today and I tried a few different scenarios except using a controller with Steam. But that would be a pretty big bug if Steam big Picture mode (beta build) disables all unpopulated USB ports if you change the settings for controllers.

But I updated my BIOS earlier today.

dunno lel guess will see if it happens again

Yeah. I’ll stop messing with the settings in Steam for now and test it again on Friday when I get the other BT dongle. Apparently those with Broadcom chips are better than others so I ordered one of those.

But function wise the 8bitdo dongle works. No idea if this is what causes it or something else.
Steam Big Picture mode controller settings are also weird. The XBO controller is being recognized as a X360 controller even though you can choose what the controller you configure is supposed to be (X360, XBO, PS, Switch Pro, etc).

better pics




will see how much work i can do on it today. mainly going to do the brake lights if i can.

Day 1 of the tax seminar down… no big changes.

Also the 3 hours of sleep then having a 9 hour seminar doesn’t help lol

acting shocked
Who woulda thunked?

OnLive tried it.
Nvidia tried it.
And Google - who are the most capable with their server and network structure - tried it.

The launch lineup is crap.
The fact that you still have to buy the games at full price and never really own them is crap.
That shitty “YoU nEeD a PiXeL pHoNe To AcTiVaTe It” is crap.
The controller looks like some out of touch web design rookie tried to mix up the DS4 and XBO controllers.
A fucking Google Assistant button? Seriously?

It’s a turd and the fact that it lives and dies with your data plan makes it even worse.
(okay, to be fair. how many games for PC are left that don’t require you to download/activate them via Steam? imagine you just got a laptop - brand new, nothing installed yet- and no internet. what games can you buy and install that don’t require an internet connection at some point?)

ye but which require always on like say diablo3

but use like 10mb constantly

Yeah, those too. Still wondering what they’ll do when they don’t want to run servers for it.

Has anyone of you backed up their Steam/GoG games locally?

some gog but steam dont think can actually,

can do a backup where it will let you transfer the file say usb to another pc, but you still have to have steam installed/logged in to install it on that machine/will verify you own the game etc

I’m actually finding out what the backup option does.

said dat lel

So it’s basically just so you don’t have to download them again.
While it’s a nice feature for people who still have a data cap, wouldn’t they need to download the games 2x? Cause you can only back up games you have already installed.

If you really want to backup your Steam games don’t use the backup/restore feature. It has to verify the games with the steam servers and it takes ages todo. Its better to just install them and backup the steamapps directory to another location and copy them back when needed which is 1000% faster

nah i backs up the whole game, so would only have to download any updates that came out after that

so say you had l4d2, if you do a backup you could give a copy of that to a friend that came over and if they owned l4d2 but it wasnt installed they could install the backup isntead of downloading it

I mean, Steam asks you what size the media will be and lets you choose from CD, DVD and custom, so I guess this is for people who want to store it as installation media off-site?

ye just creates an installer, is for migrating drives/offline og version of a steam cache basically

but its slow and dumb lol
