The Steam Thread

Did you ever play the old MechAssault by any chance?

Nope. I'm really not much into gaming as a whole... and real time combat never did much for me...

I don't care about being 1 pilot. As the game says... "Life is cheap, BattleMechs are not."
But I'm still neck deep in BattleTech novels, so... a touched biased you might say.

[MrLobster]

Sweet, let me know if you have other questions.

had a question, but it became not needed... went ahead and bought the stuff...

deck + dock + controller + headset....

I have a pretty cheap "dock", I actually use it for work and that. It works just fine.

After some time with Steam Deck and DualShock controller for BattleTech... I decided to go for that Logitech 400+ keyboard with trackpad instead.

Oh hell yeah that works well.

I'll worry about the controller again when I eventually play a different game.

How do you like it so far?

I like it fine. I've hardly put it through its paces though... still, for what I'm doing, it works great.

So... some decent time spent playing BattleTech on the Steam Deck and..... I fucking love it.

That Logitech keyboard+trackpad was the key to enjoying it for that game.

I contacted Steam support last night because my son has been using my account for the past couple years. I asked how it would be possible for him to keep his saves if he created a new account because he's got a ton of time invested in things like HOI4 and others that I don't play at all.

The response was "the Steam TOS specifically says not to account share or transfer ownership so please stop it." whoopsie.

...and they just launch "Families" as well... which probably won't help in this situation but maaaaybe

Weird response for your own kid.

But yeah I wonder how the Families thing works with cloud saves. You may have to transfer/manage the saves locally on the PC.

[allegate]

yeah I was hoping that they would point me towards the Families thing as a "well you're in luck!" but no.

I'll check it out though, thanks.
