Is this the God Of War version of Sweet Baby Inc ?
Wordle is a variation of the television program Lingo. I hope that they would do something about NYT if they proceed to act this way. Hitting them with their own tactics
Even older than that, the mechanics are identical to Mastermind, which is based on a pen & paper game that's more than 100 years old.
@@rustybroomhandleSounds like it's in the public domain. Time for everyone to go make some Mastermind clones now 😂
0:37 by the way, if you need to control something with the mouse on Steam Deck, while you're pressing Steam button, the right touchpad will always become a mouse.
It saved me a lot of time switching settings and/or using imprecise touchscreen with my sausage fingers :)
Very handy in game launchers^^
5:02 Warner Bros. literally patented the Nemesis system. Yes, you very much CAN own the mechanics of a video game. This is also a reason why you never see many games on loading screens anymore. Some company owns the rights to that. I could be wrong about that last part, though.
You probably meant you can't own the collective mechanics of an entire game, in which case, I think you are right.
Namco owns the patent to minigames on loading screen, you only see this on their games.
The nemesis*system* is a patentable invention. But there's a reason that's extremely uncommon in games.
That patent actually expired a few years ago.
@@gardiner_bryant Nemesis system patent is incorect. Firstly they do patent It after using It in game. It is not how patents works. If someone have money on loyer It could be throw away. It is a bit like Nintendo DMCA takedown overuse. Big companies can bend laws becaouse they know that anyone sue them.
@@jankowalski5310 patent law is pretty loose. When you patent something you are patenting the exact construction of a product. Code is typically protected under copyright as its a document not a product.
In both cases knitpicking mechanics or similarities never stands up to legal scrutiny. As it violates the spirit of the law which is to promote innovation. This has been established repeatedly in US courts. Making NYTs actions essentially patent trolling. Something most judges have zero patience for.
A point to make about AMD changing the standard for free sync, no this isn’t good…. They should have made a new label and not change a current standard, what they did creates confusion.
I was thinking this too. It's hard enough to figure out Freesync/GSync specifications are hard enough to find in product listings now we have a new version spec on top of that. They should have branded this FreeSync 2.0 or something.
I get your point, but going forward you'll be able to at least consider putting in the release date + FreeSync as a filter for product comparison sites like rtings and such. That way you can make sure you compare on a level playing field. But yeah, it'd be good to put a version into the certification label. And a version logic that doesn't keep changing.... right, USB? D:
Freesync => DPI connector (TVs are usually only HDMI when DisplayPort is free and standard)
I will wait for a 144 Gz DPI Freesync TV 55" (I was going to buy a 120 Hz HDMI TV in a month, more or less)
FreeSync Spec should require that DisplayPorts be labled as FreeSync enabled. That way people are tricked into using HDMI unsuccefully.
Worlde seems like a variation of old game called Mastermind. They just changed the row of pegs to a word.
I second that.
Loved that little game
Literally all i want is the remote streaming to work with HDR and have the latency that moonlight does. a way to wake on lan and sleep your computer would be swell as well. so i can wake my computer, launch a game from my pc, have flawless streaming, and then sleep my computer when done.
3440 seems kind of odd. at 1440p, which a lot of people still want to run, it would be ultrawide, i dont see everyone loving ultrawide (although I do and 3440x1440 is my favorite res). maybe it will force windows and apps to improve their 4k display though. with so many things still being wonky in interface and text in apps sometimes being rendered instead of scaleable for some bizzare reason in 4k
Seriously I spent a few hours installing the updated moonlight client to get hdr and borked moonlight in the process. Better streaming from pc is my top request as well
@@Jukeboxchigg I had HDR working in moonlight actually it only worked with one nightly of moonlight but I've been trying to get moondeck working and im not sure if i screwed it up with moondeck or if it was coincidentally the steam os update that somehow broke something the same day i was trying to get moondeck working. my HDR stopped working on moonlight :( so now i have no moondeck and no hdr it was nice while it lasted though haha running tripple a games on ultra with hdr on the deck just looks amazing.
Personally I think the steam deck is missing the use of the Media tab. There are quite a few games that provide digital extras like screen savers or PDF's with extra content that could show up there but they don't.
You're onto something there
Worlde released in 2021. In the Netherlands we have had Lingo (exact same game) since 1989.
These take down requests are ridiculous.
In regard to the NYT copyrightclaiming, there are a few games which already used that: scrabble indeed, Mastermind (closer to it?) and a television game in which you had to guess 5/6-letter words. So yes, no justifiable claim at all. :)
The steam spring sale has those games for the same exact price right now
When will they finally add Instant Replay and regular recording functionality to Steam Deck and the Steam client itself? I know there's a Decky plugin for it, but I want tight integration polish, not having to remember to hit the button shortcut to activate the plugin and for Valve to take care of maintenance of this feature without having to worry about a Steam OS or Steam Client update breaking this feature if it's someone's hobby project. I hate playing a game and feeling like whenever something cool might happen I won't have a way to store a clip of it. It makes me play on my Steam Deck less than I browse the internet or go through Sales pages for my desktop playtime. :S
Wow I remember playing Jotto as a kid which is just Wordle on paper and it was way before Wordle existed. And both games are basically just Mastermind with words.
Wordle is just Mastermind with letters rather than pegs.
95% of the wordle rules are a carbon copy of a Dutch TV gameshow that has been on TV for decades and decades.
This includes the 5x5 grid (though the show has changed the word length plenty of times over the years) but not the use of green for the correct letters.
Steam Spring Sale just started; we're going to need a "Great on Deck" buying guide quick.
What is Insignia? I’m new to Steamdeck Oled
Insignia is a community-created original Xbox Live service. You can connect your original Xbox OR the Xbox emulator XEMU to it and play Xbox live games. insignia.live
The steamdeck is still not available in Norway.
:(
really?
Is Deck working in Beta and Preview channels again?
Is rpcs3 ever going to find a workaround for using gyro with non PS3 controllers
I'm a truck driver, and I use the steam deck like a gaming computer(NO I DONT JUST WANT TO USE WINDOWS MODE) I have a monitor and keyboard and mouse it drives me nuts how the cursor goes away after 10 seconds or whatever and I can't figure out if there is a option that fixes this or not! So my question is, is there one, and if not, they need to make that a feature because I use this both as a gaming computer and a handheld game console
To modify this setting, you need to make the system mutable. Follow instructions in the first comment.

Its like my favorite part of the week. Another great video.
Still waiting for the janky store and web experience to be fixed for the Steam Deck. Navigating with controls often leaves the UI stuck
I agree, though its much better then launch.
Damn bro, ever aince i got my GO, i dont search for steam deck videos. Lol
4:20 That's not bronze, that's native. That's good, right?
No. It doesn't work. I often find "native" to be less reliable than Gold rated titles.
Native linux builds arent always maintained. Linux doesnt have as good backwards compatibility as windows so sometimes you need to update the game, which doesnt always happen.
@@yorimirus Shh! You're going to piss off the Linux purists. But seriously, how can Linux have better backwards compatibility with Windows games than native Linux games?
@@gardiner_bryant Okay, well, regardless, you still showed the wrong picture for what you were talking about.
@@MrGamelover23Because what proton does is it translates windows system calls to linux system calls. Windows is really good when it comes to compatibility, you can even run games from the windows vista era on windows 11 sometimes.
However on linux, things change quite often (at least for now). For example the x11 to wayland transition, most linux distros converted to a new sound system a few years ago (pulse audio I think it's called?), etc. These things might break compatibility with programs that rely on these older apps to be there.
Then there is also the flaw in linux where apps usually do not keep all the dependencies they need and rely on the system to provide them. I remember team fortress 2 breaking for me a few months ago because openSUSE Tumbleweed stopped shipping the 32bit version of some library that it relied on so it just wouldn't launch. Switched to proton and everything worked well.
Proton by itself does not have this problem because it keeps getting updated and also I think it uses the Steam Runtime to get its dependencies so it does not care about what is installed on your system. Wine (the program that proton is based on) does not have dependency issues because your distribution packages it for you and ensures it works like it should. Same for the steam client.
Another thing is just linux marketshare being so small that developers just do not care if it breaks sometimes. They might release a linux version and do not test it much afterwards so it just slowly breaks until it becomes unusable.
This will probably get better in the future. Hopefully. It feels like linux is in a transition right now. Lots of changes in a few years. 3 years ago, linux was unusable for me.
Anyways this is what I think + what I have heard on the internet from time to time. I'm not some linux expert, I daily drive linux but do not care too deeply about what's going on underneath the surface as long as all works like it should. If you want an in-depth explanation you will need to look stuff up yourself.
"Made taking screenshots more responsive" broke screenshots for me. First screenshot, fine; second screenshot crashes the overlay.
Engage!!
-Picard
specs shouldnt "push" anything
they should be there to be the baseline, the reference, the bare minimum
so they should call this Free Sync Gen 2
I love my Deck dearly, but it absolutely boggles my mind that over a year after release, there still no wishlist sorting features. I know you can update that in Desktop mode and changes will apply in gaming mode, but that shouldn’t be necessary.
I can sort my wishlist from my Deck.
@@gardiner_bryant Really? Does the Deck show you what button to press for that? Maybe it finally got added in a recent update and I never noticed.
It's not a button press. You just tap and drag with the touchscreen.
@@gardiner_bryant Thank you for the reply and for all that you do. I’ll check that again!
@@gardiner_bryant I'm talking about the different 'sort by' options available in Steam proper. I think the Deck by default uses the 'Sort by: Your Rank' option, which lists your wishlist titles in the order you added them; I usually use 'Date Added' so that the most recently wishlisted titles show up at the top instead. I wish all the different sorting options were available in gaming mode.
What’s missing is the big fix for switching between desktop and gaming mode and seamless docked to handheld mode switching for the display… In my opinion much more important than new features…. The steam deck has been out for years now and I find it absolutely unacceptable that this hasn’t been fixed yet. Can’t recommend this to other more casual gamers that aren’t technologically inclined if they will have to constantly fight with their steam decks to get them to function. Sorry for the rant but idk why this isn’t talked about more….
Honestly, you're the only person I've ever seen wanting this feature.
From a technical standpoint seamless switching between desktop and game mode is not possible or desireable. Game mode runs as a separate session from the desktop. (This means that, unlike Windows, there is no "desktop" running behind Big Picture Mode).
In fact, Big Picture Mode **is** the desktop while in Game Mode. In order to go into desktop mode, you have to quit Steam and then boot up KDE.
This is the desirable behavior since other desktops consume tons of resources when running in the background.
@@gardiner_bryant Ah so I think you missed the fact I had two separate points let me clarify.
The "Seamless" part was in regards to connecting to the dock as my steam struggles to dock and un-dock with out issue 90 percent of the time. As it gets stuck on a black screen with or without haptics and sound.
As far as desktop to game mode switching I wouldn't care if it took longer I'd just like it to actually work more consistently and not be a 50/50 shot of doing it without getting stuck on a black screen.
LIKE that Smash Button! lol
How about they fix the mess they made with the Doc after the update. Mine is still not working and support is completely useless. They don’t even bother to read your replies, they just give you caned answers. I’m sure it’s just AI trying and failing to help.
Red Faction 1 didn't work for me. If you save your game you wont be able to load it.
It's working for me. Are you using the quicksave/quickload?
I was manually saving -- ill check it out@@gardiner_bryant
Oled should be mandatory for all displays
I’d agree if OLED displays didn’t have any significant signs of permanent burn in with typical office/desktop use after 2-3 years. Based on RTing’s long term testing, I’m pretty sure we aren’t there yet. I’m very much looking forward for the tech to get better and better though, because I really want a nice Ultrawide OLED for both productivity/desktop usage and occasional gaming that will last me years to like my other lower tech LCD monitors.
Nah, mini LED is the way.
