Some emulators should let you assign a button as the pressure modifier, so on the Deck I guess you could assign one of the rear buttons to it and hold that button at the same time as any pressure sensitive input.

the Metal Gear Solid games on the PS1 and PS2 are still wonderful games. The controls may be a bit clunky, coming from modern games, but you get used to it after a while. (There’s some things you will have to look up on the internet in MGS1 because they require information from the CD case lol)

I always liked the Megaman X games on the SNES as well.

Haven’t had any issues with the 8Bitdo, but I also have a Gulikit King Kong 2 that when it was new, had some issues with how the accelerometers worked when playing Switch games that eventually got fixed with a firmware update. It was kinda hard to play Splatoon 3 for a bit until it was updated. So i’d say the firmware updates are for stuff like that

8Bitdo Pro 2 is the only one I can think of off the top of my head. Not entirely sure where they’re made, but I’m pretty sure they sell to Europe. On Linux, you’d have to follow these instructions to do firmware updates, since their update tool only works on Mac and Windows. I have a 8Bitdo SN30 Pro+ and its been perfectly fine on Linux.

As an aside, if you, or anyone reading this is comfortable with soldering. Gulikit sells Hall Effect Sticks that can be retrofit into both the Dualshock 4 and the Dualsense, if you’re looking for that Playstation stick layout. (I believe Gulikit also provides the hall effect sticks that 8bitdo uses)

The FBI searched Burger’s home on February 28 and discovered that someone in his family had put on a keylogger on the laptop he used to play Roblox and that they’d captured a lot of what he’d been typing while playing the game. They turned over the records to the feds.

This whole story is pretty wild, but this bit stands out to me. Was his family member concerned about his ideas enough to put a keylogger on his laptop before the authorities ever got involved? Was it a shared laptop? Or was it for some other reason??

When i still had a dual boot on my main PC, everytime I went into Windows and back into Linux, I’d have to replug my drawing tablet for it to work properly. Even after a complete shutdown. I have no clue what caused that.

Honestly, I would bike more if places I need to go like the supermarket had protected bike lanes. The main roads around me get pretty crazy and are not fun to bike on

literally me when my Mom’s computer cant upgrade to W11, but her work from home software does run on Linux

oooh ok i guess i can see where they’re coming from with that.

Core 2 Duo is really a wild name choice for this watch? Like I thought it was running on an old Intel processor and could not figure out how that made any sense

this is truly a formative memory

yeah same issue i’ve been having too. I guess Epic changed something on their side

I’d throw in another vote for Heroic. I tend to use it for pretty much everything that I have that’s not on Steam. It’ll let you choose what version of wine/proton-GE/proton you need to get your games working.

You can sign into GOG inside the app and have access to your library. Same for Epic Games Store and Prime Gaming, as well as the storefronts (tho the Epic one isn’t working for me rn, but the other two do). After signing in, you go into the library view and then it should list all the games it finds in your store libraries, then you can pick the one you want to download and install. It’ll ask you where you want to install it, and then under ‘Show Wine Settings’ you can pick what version of Wine or Proton you want to use

adding on to Noise, if you do end up in a situation where you’re considering buying refurbished enterprise hard disks, know that they are louder than normal consumer drives, esp if you have 4 of them running at once in a NAS

Thats pretty cool. Using steam pistons to help compress the fuel enough for fusion, from which that heat gets used to make different steam to then make electricity.

whoa this program looks cool af

Definitely gonna play with this later

8BitDo makes some good controllers, and at least I’ve never had any issues with my SN30 Pro+ first gen. Some of the older controllers needed special Windows/Mac software to update their firmware and stuff, but I think newer controllers let you put them in flashing mode, mount them as a USB device, and then just drag and drop firmware into them.

I also have a Gulikit KK2 that’s been fine. Not a cheap controller, but I’d assume that anything they offer would work too. The Gulikit i’ve used in bluetooth mode on my laptop and it was fine, tho the 8bitdo i pretty much only use in wired mode. The 8BitDo is cool because it has a removable battery, but you also have the option of using AA batteries too, if you wish.
