That’s fucking hilarious
How long have we been crowd sourcing controller layouts?
Quite some time. At least since the first Steam Controller, 2015. Possibly before that.
Old internet is leaking. That’s the kind of jest I’d expect in 2010 xD
That’s hilarious, I would have never thought to check that
Why is “shutdown computer” an option in controller layouts? I don’t even think that should be an option.
Actual answer: steam provides the flexibility to rebind basically whatever you want to a controller input in order to make abstruse keyboard/mouse commands available via controller. It’s less that there’s a “shutdown computer” option in a dropdown menu and more that some ingenious prankster realized they could bind the windows shutdown keyboard shortcut.
ahh, yeah that is an explanation that makes sense. I do think that’s a good capability, when you put it that way. Thank you!
It’s for people who use Steam in Big Picture Mode as a console replacement, so that they can shut off their PC without getting up from the couch.
This is a custom binding though, you can do that through the regular Big Picture menu
I thought of that, but even then it seems not worth it. At least it should be gated behind a “hold N seconds while the overlay warns you’re about to shutdown”
Or just trigger a power options overlay where you manually confirm shutdown
This should be the default behavior of such functionality. And if someone really wants to do a shutdown without confirmation, there could be special options for it too.
Yeah that’s probably even better
That’s exactly what it should be.
Gives me flashbacks to Goldsrc dedicated server operators sending eject CD or Play CD commands to clients which was possible for some reason.
We used to embed sub7 server in the Office executables on every workstation we’d use so we could do shit like this when someone else was using it later. The high school network admin hated my friend group.
That was used for early anti cheat systems, effectively making your system upload a screenshot. That way admins can see if you had a wallhack or anything else suspicious.
Why should we cater to people who blindy download controller layouts?
Computers are powerful machines. Learn to use them properly.
Clearly you aren’t trying to hide hardcore porn games from your family and don’t need the ultimate panic button
Lol not so much, no.
I checked earlier and its not there anymore
Dev probably had to report it. I could see getting bad review bombed for people unaware of
Would this happen on
Windows(Edit: I didn’t mean Windows) Linux through Proton too?It’s not OS specific. It’s through Steam’s Controller Profiles which has a Shutdown hook to Windows and Linux distros
Yeah, I read the comments after I asked. It uses Steam Input binding to shutdown.
That
is
hilarious
Some Nermal out there
Nah, that’s some Garfield shit.
Nermal is literally just a kitten who uses him as an insult.
Dammit Nermal
That nermal, will it ever stop being so cute?
