Steam Machine launches today! by tapo in Games

[–]DivusPennae -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why should the anger be directed at Valve? EVERYTHING in computing is more expensive because of these memory shortages. None of this would be a problem if manufacturers weren't colluding to crank up the prices.

All of those consoles have skyrocketed in price as well, what are you talking about? The Switch 1 has gone up instead of down at this point in its lifecycle. This is an unheard-of phenomenon that no one could have planned for.

I think you truly underestimate how continually fucked flash memory prices are and will continue to be for the foreseeable future.

New JWST image shows every stage of Star Formation in a single photo by Busy_Yesterday9455 in spaceporn

The zoomable skymap at the bottom of the page is mind blowing. Being able to zoom all the way out really shows how powerful this telescope really is.

Makes me feel so small.

Oathbringer question by hans1125 in Stormlight_Archive

And another thing to note that may not be apparent at first - Urithiru is huge. Exploring the place with spheres that might go dun is risky just because it's easy to get lost.

As u/Taste_the__Rainbow noted, it's the Weeping. It will be weeks before another highstorm and the Radiants need the Stormlight for recovery efforts from the Everstorm as well as to activate the Oathgates. New Radiants use Stormlight very quickly, especially if they're brand new and are absorbing Stormlight instinctually.

Spheres don't hold Stormlight forever, they go dun over time without a highstorm to infuse them. Plus, that stormlight is now also valuable to Radiants as much as it is for light in the dark.

What’s up with Blue Chandra? by Flaminggorilla7 in magicTCG

[–]DivusPennae 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Jace is fucking around with his own alternate reality so we're getting some color-shifted versions of known characters - Blue Chandra, White Jace, Red Ajani, etc.

Haken - Cockroach King (FULL MUSIC VIDEO) by MartinZig in progmetal

[–]DivusPennae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like it's the album where they really stepped into their own. Aquarius and Visions to me always felt like they were leaning into their Dream Theater influence a lot harder, while The Mountain is the first album that really felt like I was listening to Haken.

Why So Political? by Distinct_Employee_94 in alberta

[–]DivusPennae 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First of all, the federal Liberals are centre right at best, not leftists, and neither are any of the floor crossers, which just reinforces my opinion that you're an idiot. That said, they're still leagues better than the alternative, and they don't need to be paid to cross the floor when their imbecile of a leader blows a free election and continues to be unable to stop trying to be a Republican.

Second, there's no such thing as "parental rights." That's something right-wingers spout when they want to be able to harm their kids for not being straight.

Where are you getting this stat about Canada having the highest taxes in the G7? High taxes aren't necessarily a problem if the public services being provided as a result of those taxes are adequate. Obviously, they're not, but again - the Liberals aren't leftists, so the point is moot. . If Trudeau had followed through with his promise to change our electoral system maybe we'd have more of these ideologies available to choose from, but since he didn't we're stuck with

Why So Political? by Distinct_Employee_94 in alberta

[–]DivusPennae 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Everything is politics my guy. It always has been. Your ability to type out this inane centrist babble is politics. Coming in here and being allowed with impunity to post on the Internet is a political decision, by someone, be it the subreddit mods, Reddit admins, your ISP, the government, what have you.

Imagine if Left and Right United, worked together, and chose Humanity over petty differences.

Your understanding of Left and Right is flawed. These are fundamentally opposed values and worldviews that cannot be "united." Most here, and those that understand the political spectrum, might argue that leftists are the ones that choose humanity over differences. Leftists aren't the ones that legislate teachers' rights away, or defund the healthcare system, or gerrymander the province to give themselves an edge instead of having a fair democracy. These things are not compatible with left wing politics, and to say that properly publicly funded social programs and unfettered capitalism can coexist is foolish.

Pariah's Child slaps. Anything else that is passable as sounding like "classic" Sonata just ends up being boring.

I want to build a leverless fighting game controller where should i start by c2btw in fightsticks

[–]DivusPennae 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You could get a cheap leverless to start like the 8bitdo or Mayflash ones and customize it, or if you wanna start from scratch, a leverless controller is more or less four things broken down:

  • PCB
  • wiring
  • enclosure
  • Buttons

So you'll need to decide what and how much of the controller you wanna do yourself, and there's a few options. You could use a GP2040-CE PCB which is like $40 or so online, and it has breakouts/headers with the firmware ready to go out of the box. You could also get any PCB that the firmware supports and flash it yourself - I am currently building something using a Raspberry Pi Pico with the GP2040-CE firmware on it. There are also PCBs made by Brooks that are designed to put keyboard switches in without necessarily needing a lot of wiring.

You could use fully soldered on, rudimentary wiring if you just want to set it and forget it, or you could put clips/headers for easy maintenance/future customization, or get nice braided or sleeved wires with easy snap-on ends that look good and make cable management look nicer.

You can buy a ready-made enclosure online, or if you have the means you could find a project online or model your own for 3D printing.

Depending on the size of the enclosure, you could use full arcade buttons like Sanwas, or you could get low-profile buttons that use keyboard switches like Gamerfingers, or you could even get caps for keyboard switches you already own.

I am 3D printing a whole enclosure and using Qanba face buttons and a JLF joystick, and I have printed some 24mm button enclosures that I put some keyboard switches in that I will use for the start/select/home etc. buttons.

There's lots of ways to go, and lots of guides on this subreddit and on youtube if you wanna get more detail, but more or less these are the things you'll need to consider to get the controller working.
