Holding out for my personal Best Regular Controller™️. The Chinese stuff is pretty promising as someone else mentioned here, but there’s still none that have gyro, a good d-pad in the “dish” style of the Xbox Series controller, rumble, and hall effect sticks, as far as I can tell. Other than that I usually just use whatever default controller for the console is or whatever is relevant for a specific genre.

Just beat MGS Delta. Was my first full play through of MGS3, I think I got halfway through some years ago. Beat it on Normal in about 12 hours with no alerts and no kills, my first for an MGS game (I’ve beaten 1, 2, and both 5s)

One whale sized pistol shrimp is easily leveling buildings so probably the shrimp sized whales depending on my equipment

I would say that “tech bros” are predominantly characterized by their predisposition to accepting hype over new technologies and dismissal of socio-economic consequences that may come from those technologies in favor of naïve techno-solutionism. Tech workers, if they aren’t deluding themselves into believing they’ll be the person to do it, have often been the victims of bosses’ insistence on uselessly implementing one of these technologies based on an article they read, so not every tech worker is a tech bro.

Trying to get through all the MOTHER games, starting with the first. I’ve gotten halfway through 2 and 3 before but never finished. Playing with a ROM hack to speed things up, but regardless, the first has a lot of charm. I can see how others would view it as a prototype for 2, however.

Rice cooker from tiger or zojirushi, makes a ton of neat and cheap dishes and holds up well.

I would say the closest equivalent is probably trad wife (outside the obvious male targeting fetish accounts) or crunchy/“pastel QAnon” stuff but yeah there’s not a might makes right fascism baked into it for right wing women (as far as I can tell)

Last week I saw someone driving with their phone mounted to the dashboard watching Joe Rogan

This is kind of out of left field, but have you tried making loose leaf tea and chewing the leaves?

Been playing We Love Katamari. The first Katamari Damacy was sick and probably one of my favorite games ever, this one pops a bit more visually and seems like it’s on par with the first thus far. The story is something I’ll need to see develop though before I judge it; the first was really inspirational in an adorable way.

If you host an instance of nitter locally, you can scrape it. There’s a package that I’ll link when I get a chance. However, this possibly puts the Twitter account you use at risk of a ban, haven’t tried it enough to find out.

Offloading tokens onto the player is so bizarre compared to running a local model, gamers will accept basically anything even if it makes their PC run like crap, i.e. ark survival evolved

Recommend that anyone getting screwed by their electric bills investigate free energy audits before Trump possibly pulls the programs.

Real-debrid and stremio is a solid alternative though structurally similar to a streaming service, but you’d have to subscribe to a VPN anyways if you were doing Plex

Anyone have recommendations for good Mastodon follows?
