I mean, it runs flawlessly for me as well with all the DLCs… Just not splitscreen multiplayer.

I’ve been down the rabbit hole of looking for a solution around the controller connection applet freeze, and with some people one solution works, with some others another… Sometimes temporarily, sometimes permanently… Considering the variability surrounding this issue I don’t think an actual solution has been found yet.

I’ve been over a grand multitude of solutions, including this one. None of them worked, I’m afraid.

Well, yeah. Racing games, platformers, and action games are generally more comfortable with controller. Third person shooters, FPS, anything that requires aiming, or RTS games are still best done with mouse.

Switch emulation works pretty great. But be advised; there are problems with getting Mariokart 8 Delux splitscreen working; the game tends to soft lock on the controller applet. Rayman Legends the complete edition has no such problem and I’ve had a blast playing with my family.

PlayStation 2 works great and can even be pushed to render games at higher than native resolutions. I’m currently playing Spyro The Eternal Night and Ratchet Gladiator.

Since it can run PlayStation 2 that good I don’t see any problems with the Deck running GameCube or Wii games… Except for the instances where Wii games may need motion controls.

PlayStation 3 requires fiddling with the settings on a per-game basis. And then still you’ll probably have to downscale the native resolution and limit the framerate on games to make them run well. But the PS3 emu comes with FSR built in and I can’t really complain.

“Because” is spelled wrong.

The choir. This is preaching to the choir.

Ironic and presumptuous.

Very ironic comment.

Took a glance at it, not bad price range. I’ll be looking more into it. Thank you. ^^

Hmm, for drawing when travelling I wouldn’t be streaming or hanging out on discord, so being constantly connected to the Internet would not be a priority, just that it’s good for drawing without a mess of dongles and cables.

Not being able to upload a WIP or a completed commission to a customer might be annoying, though…

Yeah, agreed. XP Pen is great value for money. I had a second hand Wacom before and it wasn’t particularly better in any way.

Yeah, I mean something standalone, not something that needs to be plugged into a computer. I already have an XP Pen Artist 13.

Pretty sure my XP Pen’s refresh rate isn’t 165hz, and I find it perfectly fine to work on, so I don’t need something with such a high refresh rate.

At about 13 inches the resolution of the screen doesn’t need to be more than 1080p either.

Hmmm… The PineTab looks incredibly experimental still. It’s a option, but I’ll wait and see how the development of this one is going.

Huh… Yeah, you know what? I never thought of looking at second hand Surface tablets…

Ooh, that one is quite expensive.

Good list if I were looking for just any tablet, but I’m specifically looking one with artist capabilities, such as a pressure sensitive surface and a battery free pen. This list doesn’t mention much about such capabilities.

Yeah, XP Pen offers native Linux drivers, and the guys from Open Tablet Driver have also made their driver work with older XP Pen models, so it’s a pretty great wired tablet for Linux users.

But… Uh… Yeah… I’m looking for a standalone, because travelling with my XP Pen 13 and needing to play dongle-fu with Steam Deck is very awkward.

Yes, but Age of Empires II DE, Age of Empires III DE, and Age of Empires IV have all been great, and are still doing great. Out of all the recent Age of Empires stuff, only the very first Definitive Edition didn’t do well, but ended up becoming a DLC expansion to AoE II DE.

Basically, there is no reason to believe Age of Mythologies will be a bad remake based on just the one game that didn’t do well out of a bunch that did do well.

Grandfather paradox.
