My Xbox Series Controller, my Dualshock 4, my Dualsense, my Steam Controller, my Switch Pro Controller, My 8bitdo Ultimate Xbox controller, basically whatever is within reach, they’re all fine but I like the 8bitdo best.

Just use whatever you already have. If you don’t have anything I’d say go for the 8bitdo or the Xbox Series controller. They’re both excellent. The Switch pro has the buttons backwards, the PlayStation controllers don’t have the best build quality (I’ve gone through multiple of each even though I treat controllers kindly), and the Steam Controller is a little weird and not sold new anymore. So Xbox Series if you want to save money, 8bitdo Ultimate if you just want the best.

that’s a lot of good information, thank you

i think I’m gonna have to, now to pray the person who gifted it to me remembers the login for the steam account they made to buy it.

My laptop isn’t charging anymore so installing a different OS isn’t possible, fuck me right? when it rains it pours. I’ll contact support in the morning.

I’d love to try that but I’m also dealing with a separate issue where my laptop is refusing to charge so it’s dead and unusable. the deck is my only computer with power right now.

i have a second one and I tried setting that up and unfortunately the problem happens with both of them.

I also tried a wired connection after that and it does the same thing just “connecting to Wired connection 1” and then “failed to connect”

thanks for the ideas though

I’ve been using controllers on PC since the Sidewinder days, I’m glad to see support for most controllers be basically perfect on Linux and pretty decent on Windows. MacOS still has a way to go with anything that isn’t made by Sony, but it’s not exactly a gaming platform.

That’s not what I said, that’s a whole new sentence.

You can speak about it however you like, I’ve just heard complaints a million times and it’s getting really stale. I’m subbed because I like the game and I want to talk about it with other people who do, but most of the posts on this community are criticisms. That’s fine too, but like, I also don’t care about it, so I was wondering if there was a place with more of a focus on the kind of Starfield discussion I want to see.

Like y’all can keep this group the way it is, I’m not gonna demand it change for me, just wondered if there was a place for people like me out here or if I just gotta suck it up and make do with this one.

if you make one let me know and I will join, Starfield is one of my favorite games

is there a Lemmy community for people who actually like Starfield?

can’t wait, i know everyone else here hates it, but Starfield was EXACTLY the kind of game I like, I still play it often and love getting lost in it.

They can make them more than $70USD and I’ll just keep waiting for a sale. I haven’t bought one at $70 yet, I’m certainly not going to pay even more.

I’m gonna be playing on Series S because I prefer the simplicity and the mods are enough for what I want to do.
