The disadvantage of using a Bluetooth controller on a desktop/laptop is that if you reboot to a different OS (other distro or Windows), you need to pair again the controller. USB dongle based controllers do not have this problem.

Ah, the Unity double input bug. For me it happens when I play Assault Android Cactus, with a controller configured with Steam Big Picture (with exception of Valve's SC). I believe Rocket League suffers from the same problem.

Another utility for this is when a game doesn't recognize the Steam Controller, like the truck simulators from SCS.

I also hope that the guys behind SC Controller could get this thing working on Linux:

Quoting: Xpandersorry but i wouldnt recommend anything that doesnt have force feedback. It's just a waste of money imo. Force Feedback is the thing you want on the wheel. Don't waste your 60€ for a wheel that doesn't have one, just buy a good controller then instead.

Funny thing, I actually disable any FF other than vibration when I tested wheels because of how terrible and unrealistic they feel to me.

One thing I can't stand on Logitech wheels is the feel and noise of the gearing. I have a license for 20 years now, and real cars do not have any of that. It completely breaks the joy for me. Also, force feedback on most wheels and games are waaaaaay wrong compared to what you get driving a car.

I heard some Thrustmaster wheels use a quieter belt mechanism, too bad they cost way more than the Logitech ones.

Quoting: EikeThey don't need Ryzen power. They need to build it cheap.

The first Ryzen 15W APU just entered the market. Something cheap and low power like that could fit the Ataribox needs.

Quoting: tmhorneFrom the bottom center screenshot on the home page, it looks like it will also support third-party controllers. Is that an xbox controller?

It look like a Xbox One Controller clone to me, like the ones Razer make. I swear I have seen that one before, but after 5 minutes looking on Google I couldn't find it.

It would be nice to show some gameplay. I'm always suspicious when a developer only show a game in "attract mode".

Quoting: lucifertdarkTelltale were more than likely ordered to kill all Linux development or lose their spot in the Windows App Store. Microsoft have always been shady b'stards.

Given M$ attitude to open source I would not be surprised at all.

Oh come on. How does this even make sense?

Why wouldn't it make sense? It's not the first time they've stuck the knife into a rival. Never Trust Microsoft.

On a rival? They are known to stuck a knife on their own clients. Ask Windows 7 users what they think about MS actions about Windows 10 down the throat upgrades.

Quoting: tuubiI don't mind challenging platformers, but I'm not sold on Meat Boy -- for reasons I can't quite pin down. The fast-paced gameplay makes me think the devs are Sonic fans. Too bad I never was.

Sonic? Well, I think of it as a fast paced Super Mario Bros. of the NES. The way Meat Boy jumps and the inertia of the character reminds me much more Mario than Sonic.
