Final Fantasy Resonance Has More Going For It Than Just Its Impressive Cast

Final Fantasy Resonance Has More Going For It Than Just Its Impressive Cast https://ift.tt/0MFIBHA Ahead of its release in October, Square Enix has dropped several new details about Final Fantasy Resonance , its HD-2D reimagining of the mobile game Final Fantasy: Brave Exvius. Based on the first season of Brave Exvius, here's a closer look at the game's world, characters, gameplay, vision systems, and completionist content. Empires strike back The Zoldaad Empire has a few defectors. Two of the regions that players can explore include the powerful military nation of Zoldaad and the city of mages known as Mysidia. Just like in Brave Exvius, Zoldaad appears to be on the march as the home of the fabled Fire Crystal, and has secretly been building up a fleet of airships and mass-producing magitek as it expands its borders into neighboring countries. Considered to be a legend, the advanced magical civilization of Mysidia is home to some of the strongest magic-wielders i...

How To Use Discord On Your Steam Machine And Steam Deck

How To Use Discord On Your Steam Machine And Steam Deck https://ift.tt/FengVxw

If you're a PC gamer, you're probably accustomed to using Discord for voice and text chats during your games. Now that Valve has brought the Steam experience to TVs and handheld devices, you'll likely want to keep your usual gaming setup intact.

Thankfully, Steam's devices are pretty much just PCs running on Linux, so they can do most anything you'd want a PC to do. Here's what you need to know to bring Discord to your Steam device.

How to use Discord on Steam Machine or Steam Deck

The process for bringing Discord onto your Steam-based platform is the same no matter if you're using the console-like Steam Machine or the handheld Steam Deck. Follow these steps for either case--or both, if you've fully invested in the Steam ecosystem.

  1. Open the Steam menu (press the Steam button if you have a Steam controller) and select Power 
  2. Switch to desktop mode
  3. Open Discover (blue icon)
  4. Search for "Discord"
  5. Install Discord
  6. While still in desktop mode, open Steam
  7. Select Add Game at the bottom left of the Steam window
  8. Select Add Non-Steam Game
  9. Select Discord
  10. Select Add Selected Programs
  11. Return to gaming mode

Fix Discord controller layout on Steam Machine or Steam Deck

Though the above steps are all you need to install Discord on your Steam device, I ran into an extra issue: getting it to work correctly with the default controller layout. With a few extra steps, I was able to resolve this, so I'm leaving those below in case you run into the same problem. 

To adjust the control scheme for Discord on Steam Machine or Steam Deck:

  1. Open Library and select Discord
  2. Before opening Discord, open its controller settings (controller icon on the right side)
  3. Change the layout to your preferred option. (If using a Steam controller, I suggest Mouse Only, which will use the right trackpad as a mouse and the right trigger as a left-mouse click, simulating how it feels to use Discord on a desktop.)

If you follow these steps, Discord will be added to your Steam Machine and/or Steam Deck so you can use it in the background while you play other games. You can then switch between game and Discord windows as needed, such as when you want to join a voice chat or close Discord. Like other games/apps, Discord will remain open between uses if you put your Steam Machine or Steam Deck into sleep mode, but it will fully close if you instead choose "shutdown" when it's time to step away from the device.
