We Have Steam Controllers At Home

Dumb PC mistake: My work laptop’s SSD went haywire, and I/O would spike every 10 minutes or so for ~50 ms. The hardware guy said he could replace the SSD right away, or I could endure it for a few weeks and get a new laptop instead. Obviously, I agreed to wait. The stutter noticeably affected screen rendering, but I didn’t notice any other issues. Little did I know that every time it happened, all input was ignored (as in: not queued). Normally it wouldn’t matter, because hitting a random ~50 ms window is hard. How-the-f*ck-ever… A few days later - without getting into “why” - I was forced to apply a patch in production. So I opened an SSH session to prod in one terminal, spun up a dev environment in another, copied the database schema from prod to dev, and made sure to test everything. No issues, so I jumped to prod, applied the patch, restarted services, jumped back to dev, and cleaned up the now-unnecessary database. Only to discover that my “jumped back to dev” keystroke didn’t register.

The Hori steam controller is great in it's own right. 2 back buttons, 2 front buttons and touch sensitive thumbsticks are all fully supported with steam input. That in itself is awesome.

[@VennStone]

The thumbsticks are neat.

21:31 Well it's on UE, so it's not a mod, just a standalone game? I'm pretty sure I've heard Tyler McVicker mention that they can't use any HL assets 'cause Valve won't let you do that even in a free project if the thing isn't on Source engine. The "Prologue" release makes one think they're going to see if they can Kickstart proper funding for the thing on the strength of the demo.
