Okay fedifriends, please give me advice on buying a game controller.
Some background: I currently play indie games with native Linux support. But I grew up with consoles, and I still think that I'd be more comfortable with a controller for some kinds of games than with a keyboard In particular, I'd like to play precision platformers with a controller. I also think a controller would be good for homebrew made for old consoles.
I have a strong preference for wired peripherals over wireless, and a strong preference for peripherals that don't require their own batteries.
When I sit down to game, I generally want to be able to start playing right away without much set-up. If a game won't launch, I might spend a few minutes adjusting drivers or settings, or I might immediately give up on that game and pick a different game.
Hence, I'd prefer if possible to find a controller that works "out of the box" with a large number of games. I don't want to spend a lot of time configuring button mappings.
So with that in mind, what controller would y'all recommend I buy?
I've been playing Twilight Oracle by #indigamedev@cosmicvoid tonight. It's a new point and click Linux friendly adventure game with retro vibes and beautiful pixel art. Loving it.
I've encountered a strange issue where #BaldursGate3 is suddenly constantly crashing on my main rig, but working perfectly fine on my #SteamDeck. I'm not using any mods, my rig is more than enough to handle the game on high settings at 1440p, and I'm not having any issues with any other games. I've reinstalled the game several times. I've verified the integrity of the files via steam, I've even reinstalled my OS. Noting works. It still crashes constantly on my main PC. There;s no discernible pattern to the crashes either--in combat, out of combat, standing around in the world, clicking on something, doing an action, character creation...it just crashes after 5-10 minutes every time without fail. My temps are all fine as well, and no other game is giving me these issues....any idea what's up? I'm running the game on a Ryzen 5 2600 with a 6650 XT, 32 GB of ram, and nvme driven and i'm using #LinuxMint 21.3... #GamingOnLinux#RPGs#BG3#GamingOnLinux#RPGs#BG3
