Okay so both #MySummerCar and #thelongdrive are on a specific range of #Unity #unity3d #unityengine builds that have a bug where some steering wheels will only half work - Quite literally, it thinks the entire range of rotation from -1.0 to 1.0 is from Top Dead Center through to the far right turn.

God I hate that. Two games I love, and neither works with my steering wheel. :(

Anyone know any fixes?

(It's a Microsoft Sidewinder FFB - The first FFB wheel ever)

jstest-gtk does show the full range of motion, as well as other games working just fine with it, which rules out hardware, fwiw.

Is Steamdb's tags page relatively comprehensive for the tags used across Steam?

If so I'm kind of surprised that Grindy isn't a tag on there. I'd like that to filter out those games, and those that love them could more easily find'em. Win-win!

So, given the kinda joke about people hating phone calls, yet using voice chat in games, I can't help wondering what people's preferences may be on chatting in games.

When you play online games, which do you lean towards when it comes to text/voice chat, or other options I didn't fit here, contextual pinging (e.g. Apex Legends), emotes, or voice/chat commands (e.g. Team Fortress 2/AoE 2)?

Repost/boost as you will, curious about this!

Does Proton for games on Linux work without using Steam? 🤔

I know vaguely of stuff like Lutris, so I'm still wondering how gaming on Linux looks if you're not completely bought into Valve's pseudo-monopoly. That should be in line with Linux thinking, right?

If it does, hell yeah. Then the other trick might be controller stuff outside of Steam, but one step at a time.

If GameFAQs doesn't have cheats for a PS1 game, where else do you look? Alternatively are there cheat files for PS1 emulators to load in? 🤔

What's a game called, or what is the genre of a game, with detailed interactivity and interesting worldbuilding without RPG progression systems or mechanics? 🤔

You might say "immersive sim" but these often also have that, for me at least, RPG baggage attached. Although not always, as Dishonored arguably sheds much of that in its design.

Still, unsure how to search for these sorts of games.

Is there a...Not exactly a game, but sort of a digital/software toy, that one might dabble with that doesn't have one get into the weeds of code to roam around custom 3D environments/models and place 3D assets around that one's made?

The closest I've found so far is Minetest, but I'm interested in something that would allow for non-blocky environments as well.

For any game devs or voxel software devs out there, what particular reasons are there for often opting for larger cubes for voxels?

My rough understanding (as I've found it tricky to find more accessible technical info on voxels), is that they don't necessarily even *have* to be cubes at all.

Setting that aside though, I'm mainly interested in the scaling question, as I know smaller cubes can & have been used occasionally.

It just hit me that I think Haunted PS1 is still only on Twitter and that's disheartening. I'm not missing their account somewhere around here, right?
