of course they ate the crayon, they couldn’t read the instructions anyway

hrm. I never thought of doing that, I’ll give it a shot. Thanks!

I’ve gotten so used to having the extra re-mappable buttons on the back of controllers that I won’t use one that doesn’t have them, and have even modded both of my DualSense controllers to add them. The 8bitdo controller I mentioned has ‘em, plus it has hall effect joysticks, so IMO it’s even better than the 1st party “elite” controllers and it still comes in at half the price. If I were going to make heavy use of the extra touchpads on the Steam Controller I’d definitely be buying one.

looks great, but I’ve been pretty damn happy with my 8bitdo Ultimate 2 which goes for ~$55 US. I use it on the PC and the rare occasion I fire up my Switch. I have no doubt Valve will make the Steam Controller an excellent piece of kit, but going by what’s been released I’m not sold on it being worth almost 2x.

The 8bitdo controller doesn’t have capacitive touchpads and motion control only works on the Switch, but I’m not entirely sure I’d get much use from those features on the Steam Controller. I never use the capacitive touchpads on my SteamDeck, and gyro control has never been more than a gimmick when I’ve used it on other systems/controllers like the DualSense. I use it more for quicker character selection on an on-screen keyboard than in games. For people who DO make use of those features constantly, maybe the extra value is there.

possibly the worst Supreme Court decision ever handed down - and there are a whole shitload of awful SC decisions - strictly b/c it was immediately apparent to anyone with two brain cells to rub together how it would enable and entrench corruption and influence in American politics

Wasn’t expecting a Vulfpeck comment on an extrafabulous post

I don’t care one way or the other WRT to what Bryon Noem does in the bedroom, but it’s odd to me that there’s been so much attention to his “indiscretions” that until recently were kept under wraps, when his wife has been openly cuckolding him with Corey Lewandowski for years (“the worst-kept secret in D.C.”). IIRC she was asked about it under oath during congressional testimony while Bryon sat right next to her, and she did not deny it.

It’s telling that he’s catching all of the media attention for going outside their marriage because he’s into something seen as kinky, while the media has largely ignored his wife’s affair because it is presumably more vanilla. Regardless, she’s been operating with arguably less discretion than him for a LONG time, and is every bit as guilty of exposing herself to blackmail or other potential influence.

Sounds awkward. I’ve met a few folks in that lifestyle that weren’t exactly … appetizing, though, so I can see where you’re coming from

Fetlife probably a little more reliable

thought they’d kicked the Puritans out centuries ago, but no

Never thought I’d see “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” being used to defend inflated RAM prices, it’s getting wild over here

Perhaps they’re referring to how YT will overwhelm the Home feed with tons of suggested crap and a few videos from your subscribed channels, instead of the other way around. You can click over to a subscription-only feed, but it’s not the default.

Too many nuggies

TrueNAS Scale’s Docker implementation is currently really mediocre - it’s implemented as an app store style experience - and deploying/managing containers via the CLI isn’t officially supported although it works fine. They do have a more generic container management implementation in beta at the moment.

Gobble usually means to eat quickly or with haste

In this context OOP using “gobbling balls” is a funny and naughty way to say she enjoys performing oral sex on her male partner(s)

Never seen a tokay that would tolerate being handled like this. They are usually super bitey

He’s moved in a more folk-ish direction the past couple of years but there’s a video on YouTube of his three-piece doing a very grunge cover of Father John Misty’s Hollywood Cemetery Sings that is IMO legit better than the original

If it is a Clariion (looks like it, but kinda blurry) it’s likely a CX4. Those aren’t CX3 bezels on the controllers.

Trump’s “art” mostly involves smearing the walls with shit

Yup, I’m a moron. I’ll delete
