007: Blood Stone
Steam tells me I've spent over two-and-a-half hours in Blood Stone, which is an awful lot for a game I'm "not playing". But, yes, this was even more controller setup. Having got it working with the Steam Deck's own controls the other day, I've since connected my Deck to the TV, so I wanted to see how it worked there with an external controller. Plus, the game does have a controller setting, so I thought I'd give that a go.

Well, it's shit. It still shows the keyboard commands on screen — lazy programming! — which means it's trial and error trying to work out what button does what; and some do nothing, making some actions impossible. So after battling away with that for a while, I gave in and remapped a la my Deck controls. Got it basically perfect that way, too.

After all that effort, maybe I should actually play the game... although Everything or Nothing is really a higher priority (it's been waiting for me longer, and it's meant to be quite a bit better)... and I kinda started the GoldenEye remake, too... Oh dear!
