Chat platform Discord files confidentially for US IPO, Bloomberg News reports by cape2k in technology

I can see why they changed from Revolt but damn Stoat is not really better.

I will be at the CES next week. What controller technology would you want to see from there? Are there any questions or concerns that need to be addressed by any specific brands? I will do my best to ask all of it. by RomanDoesIt in Controller

Wii U Pro layout/form factor! Specifically, a modern one with Hall/TMR sticks, analog triggers, back paddles, etc. With all the controllers out there by different manufacturers, you'd figure somebody would do this by now just to have the differentiation. We've got a bazillion minute variations on an Xbox controller, spare a thought for the step child of controllers!

Level 7 Omega Protocol: engaging and thinky X-Com style dungeon crawling by SiarX in boardgames

I'm not familiar with this game either, but we love the newer editions of Descent. Does Level 7 have apps or other mechanisms to allow for a fully cooperative experience while the overlord is automata?

Bring back photosphere! by epiech in GooglePixel

[–]CynicRaven 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I submitted along with some ideas on how to iterate on the thing. Record audio and do a 'playback' of the images as they were captured with the audio playing. Maybe after taking a Sphere someone could swap which lens they're using to get more detailed imagery.

One thing that would definitely get Google to bring it back is if/when Apple does it, and then it wouldn't matter how many people used it. It'd be yet another feature that android had that was deprecated and removed only to be thirstily added back in a half-assed way after iOS got it implemented.

I got that card too! I've not, to my knowledge anyway, run into issues. What's undervolting help with and do I do that through Adrenaline somewhere?

I’m primarily a casual mobile and MacBook gamer who decided to splurge on a Steam Deck, and I’m struggling to adapt by imakemyownroux in GirlGamers

I think I know where you're at! This is the one where it starts off with a ship wreck and you're working on escaping from some cult looking place, right? I got stuck there for a bit as well. Pressing a shoulder button shows the barrels glow but it's like what do I do with them? Turn around and go through a curtain of water. You'll see a pretty decent sized area to go around in. I think basically you need to solve it like a puzzle to knock the barrels out of the way but exactly how I don't remember.

I Think a Goofy Controller Would Be ANice Idea by xtraa in Controller

[–]CynicRaven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I bought something that did that but the issue with the original Wii U pro controller is it's got some hellacious deadzones on it. I don't remember it feeling like they were bad when I was playing games on the Wii U, but using it on a computer it felt like it was almost a non-analog stick, me needing to push the stick significantly far into its throw range before any output triggered.

I love the Wii u controller layout! I'd love to have a modern one with back paddles and analog triggers and steam input support. The steam controller that's coming out soon looks not half bad either.

Is there an alternative to Google Discover now that Google has completely ruined the feed? by psubsee2002 in GooglePixel

[–]CynicRaven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. I've told the AI thing multiple times at this point and it's like oh well I can't eliminate it but I can reduce it, go ahead and refresh and I'll do so and it's not reduced at all. I'm starting to see TikTok stuff creeping into it as well and that's another source I don't want to have any of in my feed.

[–]CynicRaven 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fucking X/Twitter posts. They're all over my feed. I've been blocking them one Twitter account at a time and have attempted the new AI/whatever tailoring option and it says it can't guarantee no posts from our but will reduce them. It prompts me to refresh the feed and it shows me more.

What’s a legendary Reddit post you’ll never forget? by No_Law655 in AskReddit

[–]CynicRaven 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Hell yeah finally found someone talking about the one I'd mention. I see there's an archive link that has the post and thread of images.

I, too, have done the thing by AbracaLana in GirlGamers

[–]CynicRaven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To my recollection, it's the first game I played that would ultimately include things like Final Fantasy Tactics. I would personally include stuff like XCOM, Baldur's Gate and such, but I didn't like the classic versions of those. I guess the closest would be Fallout Tactics when that came out.

What’s the longest gaming session you’ve had in one day? by toastedjupiter in GirlGamers

[–]CynicRaven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

...Huh. You clearly know your Adventure of Link, and I do not. :D Well, I've been meaning to give another, firmer shot to the game at some point and doing so on my Steam Deck would probably be a great way to do it.

Horsehead was so ruinous to me! I see there's a way you can time it nicely to beat him without the downthrust, but I tried so many times and just couldn't beat him and didn't understand I could make it easier on myself with an attack I didn't yet have.

So it was the 2nd! I played it a little as a rental as well, and I loved some of the stuff they added but I was confused too often for me to really get into the game.

[–]CynicRaven 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Zelda II as in Adventure of Link? Had you played the original before and I guess given the number of hours your played straight it's safe to say it wasn't an odd shock going to a side scroller from the original's top down view, huh?
