my wife and I both use the 8bitdo ultimate 2c. its slightly small and better for smaller hands, but its probably the best controller for the price where i live (usa; ~$30)
it can be difficult to hit the L4/R4 inner shoulders, so dont plan on using them unless your hands look like daddy longlegs.
to retire as early as possible so i can do the things i want instead of doing the things my employer wants.
~21 more years to go; i’m currently on track
i started in january of this year because i upgraded my wife’s computer. that gave me an old computer to tinker with.
i recommend getting an old computer, installing an OS (look up thinks like truenas, proxmox, unraid… there are more and they are different; try them all out if you want to see what you like)
then go onto youtube and search for things like “<OS> beginner” and you will get a bunch of tips/tricks/tutorials/etc. for starting out with your favorite.
isnt my brother’s wife’s mother my mother-in-law?
i currently use immich, and it is phenomenal. immich is self-hosted, though, so you will need to host it somewhere.
i like it more than google photos because of its search features. ai/ml (local) learning of your photos so you can search for generic stuff and get pictures for it - it has been super helpful for sharing pictures with others, and i can generate single-use or limited-permission links to the photos just like a pro service. after importing a whole bunch of photos and letting the ai/ml run, make sure to name the people it pulls from your photos for easy searches for them : D
i havent had the chance to try stoat yet because most of my friends refuse to leave discord, but i heard of Stoat (used to he called Revolt, but i think there was a trademark conflict) a while back and have wanted to try it out.
just kicked off borderlands 3 over the weekend (it was a freebie on epic a while back).
i can see where they were trying to take the series, but i think they need a “back-to-basics” moment; there were a few decisions that really detract from the ability to be immersed.
(ux)the skill tree system has changed in a way that makes upgrading confusing to the point that i dont even use my special ability (it spawns a mech)
(ui)there are multiple advertisements for DLC that are always on your minimap and block your view of POIs - they look like questgivers
(bug)sometimes fast travel works and sometimes it doesnt (and sometimes it does but doesnt let you travel unless you close and reopen the map)
these 3 issues make it really difficult to enjoy a gaming session without being reminded that i need to spend more money so this convoluted system wont be fixed.
3 days in and i give it a meh 5/10; it seems like the budget was too big.
like when an escalator breaks; its just stairs now.
(rip mitch)
i regularly attempt to shop at the manufacturer’s website. i will do a search for a product type, get blasted with only positive reviews for shitty products, find a product whose brand isnt similar to UFVEGDKFNDBDHDJ, and find their website to purchase.
my brain is ruined. my head voice said “Gee-Guh-Nome”
my “okay, so…” beginning are usually trying to break my specialty into human-understandable language and prep an analogy. aint nobody but my nerdboi peers care about the dinglehooper flooting the yoonerbix .001ms faster than the yumdumtrum.
“its like a bicycle with 7 wheels, but only three wheels work at once.” is easier to explain.
so hype for C770 (or whatever the good C card will be).
and so am i! updated <3
fuck yeah, ladle. i think most people need a new ladle.
edit:spelling
that means i was the vice president. i would unalive myself to make the world a better place.
these arent the same shape. there are more layers on the downward spiral than the flat spiral.
then you start your ad-free viewing by selecting a show… and they show you an ad for a different show. this aggravated me more than the ads on the page shown there.
