- Comment on Gamepad for Linux Gaming? 2 hours ago:
The Stadia Controller and the Gullikit KK3 Series have built in batteries and therefore come with their own charging circuit.
The Steam Controller does not charge the batteries, you have to use an external AA charger
The 8bitdo Pro 2 comes with a rechargable battery pack that sits in the AA compartment of the controller (similar to the old xbox 360 play-and-charge kits) and can be charged via USB. I don’t know if that charge function is limited to their battery pack, or if it will work with AA rechargables as well. My guess is, though, that it doesn’t, because it would have to somehow identify if the cells are actually rechargable, or if they are just alkaline batteries - trying to charge alkalines can be dangerous.

priestesses held gatherings where they would shout and show skin and attracted participants with sex and a show
So you’re telling me we could have had a timeline where sunday’s mass would essentially be a strip show?

- Comment on Gamepad for Linux Gaming? 4 hours ago:
I do have quite a few different controllers, all work fine on linux for me:
- Xbox One controllers (newer models, older ones don’t support bluetooth)
- 8bitdo SN30 Pro 2
- Gulikit KK3 Pro
- Google Stadia
The Stadia Controller is not my favourite, but it still works well. I mainly use the Gulikit and 8bitdo ones, depending on the game and wether my main input is meant to be d-pad or left joystick.

usually, they don’t actively seed, they are just part of the swarm, and request content from you. And if that content is part of e.g.their movie, they get you for distributing the movie.

where do you buy the pc version to play any of them
unfortunately, the game is no longer being sold, you might find a copy on the second hand market, or maybe an internet archive.

- Comment on Amazon is making it impossible to remove the DRM from Kindle Books 1 month ago:
Back when Randall Munroe released his “What if” in eBook format, it essentially was only available with DRM.
When I emailed him about it, asking for a place to buybit without DRM, he responded with DRM being mandatory by his publisher, and finished his email with a link to this comic of his:
xkcd.com/488/ - Comment on Amazon is making it impossible to remove the DRM from Kindle Books 1 month ago:
I bought a kindle when amazon sold them for a special price of 25 Euro. It’s a cool device for reading books, but I found their UI horrendously cluttered and filled with “suggestions” instead of focusing on the content I already have. I have since jailbroken the device and am using koreader on the device to read my ebooks transfered as epubs via calibre.
That has the advantage that when I buy DRM-free books in epub format, I am not relying on amazon to properly convert the file to a kindle proprietary format.

Borderlands 4 is better than Borderlands 4, but not even half as good as Borderlands 4.
Looking forward to the sequel, Borderlands 4.

- Comment on What are you guys using to sort and name music? 1 month ago:
My workflow is:
-Musicbrainz Picard to get all the information from an online database
-clean up the tags with kid3 (Linux), rename files and folders
-use mp3gain to “normalize” all songs to the same level, so I don’t have to constantly adjust the volume. - Comment on In a week dominated by Silksong and Borderlands, co-op roguelike Shape of Dreams still managed to launch on Steam as an instant top-seller 1 month ago:
I can’t find any info about a blanket ban on idle/clicker games, and quite frankly, I don’t see why valve would ban them.
For them, it’s free money:
- the developer has to pay a flat fee for the game to appear on the storefront
- the developer has to pay an additional fee to enable community items
- both the developer as well as valve receive a percentage cut of the sale price in the community marketplace
- Comment on In a week dominated by Silksong and Borderlands, co-op roguelike Shape of Dreams still managed to launch on Steam as an instant top-seller 1 month ago:
my guess is that a lot of people let the game idle in the background to farm items, that’s why it’s so “popular”. It’s not “active players”, it’s just a large number of people farming items in the hopes to get one they can sell for a larger sum.
Afaik it has been in the top charts for over a year. - Comment on In a week dominated by Silksong and Borderlands, co-op roguelike Shape of Dreams still managed to launch on Steam as an instant top-seller 1 month ago:
Banana (which I’ve never even heard of and I have no clue why it’s that popular).
It’s an idle/clicker game that drops steam items that can, theoretically, be sold for money. I can’t recommend it.

- Comment on It's Not Just You: Music Streaming Is Broken Now 1 month ago:
The Bitrate part was a joke, yes. 96k is low, although I just remembered a special mp3 codec from NERO that allowed for such low bitrate, at the same perceived sound quality as 128kbps.
But obviously, all my CDs have been ripped as either V2, V0 or 320kbps - I personally have not noticed any difference to FLAC files with either of those qualities.
- Comment on It's Not Just You: Music Streaming Is Broken Now 1 month ago:
honestly, most of my CDs have been used once: Put in a PC and ripped (to 96kbps MP3s, of course!)
