ruleposting about controller mods
Attached: 3 images woooo, today I got the Rise C kit from extremeRate installed. this kit converts a ps4 controller from usb micro to usb c, and it also adds four "remap" buttons on the back, which can be programmed to copy another button on the controller. it's tournament-legal, if you care about ...
Nicky Flowers is a treasure. Did you know they're on episode 5 now of their zine, Very Little News? https://verylittlenews.org/

Thank you, that makes some sense.
the closest thing on android right now is an app called Termux, it simulates a linux scripting environment with several languages (including C, python, and javascript), and it can be programmed to do anything an app can do (including blink the LED).
but c'mon, that should be standard. also phones should come rooted.
Why are all the questions here so negative? Why not ask new and interesting things?
how about pocket computers with the power of a smartphone but the common sense usability of a goddamn graphing calculator? i'm sitting on a magic rectangle with more computing power than the apollo mission and it doesn't even let me blink the LED without installing an app?? these things should legally have to come with a scripting environment.
hell yeah! don't forget to wishlist Coffee Buns and Crossed Signals, a couple of other stories being worked on by the same team :)
yep!
I'm a huge fan of Mice Tea (nsfw), it's more comic than game (it's actually a choose-your-own-adventure) but I read it on my Deck <3
It's an erotic romance about a nerdy girl, a bookstore, and some magic tea that turns you into a furry. Tons of literal and metaphorical aftercare.
this is my sticking point with fish. I still need to know bash for writing portable scripts, so its hard to justify scripting in fish.
woah this is amazing!!! how do i subscribe to you?!
I still use firefox despite their questionable leadership, for one major reason: it prevents Google from setting whatever web standards they want. Sites that aren't standards compliant will usually still work in Chromium-based browsers, but they will break in Firefox, and then I can report the bugs.
The thing that sold me on the Steam Deck: mods. Mods for minecraft, mods for skyrim, mods for stardew valley, mods for SteamOS itself. I can customize it like no other console, and I don't even need to hack it first.
Not enough people seem to get that the Steam Deck isn't just a console that runs PC games, it's also a console that runs mods. The first games I played on mine didn't stretch its graphical capabilities, they were just games like Stardew and Minecraft that I could have played on the Switch, but only on the Steam Deck could I play them my way.
maybe something like a Raspberry Pi and set him up with html? html and js is still a great way to learn, you get immediate feedback!
bag of board games rule
cards, dice, icehouse pyramids, and tiny plastic ducks
yes there are and yes they do! actually that's the sole reason I decided to get textured vinyl instead of smooth, I like the touchpads being a bit textured.
the good news is that they made a TON of them and you can pick one up in working condition for like $50 on ebay still.
custom steam contruler skin
i designed this and ordered a print from mightyskins, it came out pretty good!
agreed, i prefer third party docks to the official one, especially if you want to put a silicone case on your deck.
Everything from this 2023 reddit post
i also carry in my purse:
I used to carry a battery pack but its heavy and rarely used, so now I just carry a second usb-c cable and a c-to-c extender and hopefully i'll be able to reach an outlet.
Probably Emacs. /j
Yes, we have ghost communities. No, it's not a problem. We're not here to entertain you 24/7.
The Reddit communities that drove the most engagement were also the most toxic. The good part of Reddit was, and to some extent still is, the slow-moving communities that act as magnets for scraps of obscure knowledge.
Have patience.

using an android phone running retroarch, an 8bitdo Zero Two wireless controller, and this 3D printable mount https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5998094 .
works pretty good for gb/gbc titles, and its much smaller than other controller attachments! I've been using it for some gba stuff too, like Game and Watch Gallery 4 or Pokemon: Too Many Types, which don't require the L/R buttons.
if this makes you want to buy a controller, I recommend the 8bitdo Micro, which is the same size but with two extra buttons.

Is there a community where I can get news about technology as in science, as opposed to "drama involving tech companies"?
I'm just not interested in hearing what bullshit FAANG is up to, I want to talk about linux kernel patches and raspberry pi revisions and maybe hear what people other than grifters are doing with neural networks.
command line util to encode/decode framed packets?
I'm currently trying to set up a homebrew cassette tape storage format, but trying to use existing tech where possible. I was excited to see that minimodem already exists for converting an audio stream to a byte stream, and is even available in termux for android, so I could decode cassettes with my phone! However, I'd like some sort of higher-level tool to encode and decode "packets" or "slices" so that I can add error correction. I'm sure this sort of thing must exist for amature radio purposes.
I could write a script that cuts a file into slices, with checksums and redundancy for each slice, and then pads them with null bytes so I can isolate each frame when decoding. What I want is to find out if that's already been done. I've heard of AX.25 packets but I can't find a tool that does that with stdio.
What field do you work in, and how many digits of pi do you use?
This article says that NASA uses 15 digits after the decimal point, which I'm counting as 16 in total, since that's how we count significant digits in scientific notation. If you round pi to 3, that's one significant digit, and if you round it to 1, that's zero digits.
I know that 22/7 is an extremely good approximation for pi, since it's written with 3 digits, but is accurate to almost 4 digits. Another good one is √10, which is accurate to a little over 2 digits.
I've heard that 'field engineers' used to use these approximations to save time when doing math by hand. But what field, exactly? Can anyone give examples of fields that use fewer than 16 digits? In the spirit of something like xkcd: Purity, could you rank different sciences by how many digits of pi they require?
Steam input gyro aiming feels great
Following this tutorial, I tried gyro aiming on my Dualsense controller, which has analog triggers and gyroscopic motion controls. I set gyro to act as mouse, activated by a right trigger soft pull. If you use Steam with a controller I highly recommend this; it gives you almost as much control as a mouse and keyboard! Along with a few other custom rebinds, this gives me a console-ish experience on Minecraft Java :)
People who got a Dualsense Edge for Steam Deck, how would you rate it?
It's been long enough that I'm sure someone besides me has shelled out the $200 for a DS5+, since it's a bluetooth controller with a touchpad and grip paddle buttons. Is it worth it?
Edit: To clarify, I own a Dualsense, but I'm lusting after the Dualsense Edge revision.
Fitness / Exercise games for PC / Steam Deck?
I have a steam deck dock in the living room, with a dualsense and some joy-cons paired to it. Are there any games similar to Ring Fit that work well on PC/Steam? Do I need a new controller or can I use these?
