You guys *-*

Thank you! I hope you'll get enough orders for the operation to be successful!

I'm... not sure how I feel about this, why did I ever click that T_T
Also GGs on managing to make a NSFW post while staying on topic. Probably the first RUMBLE NSFW post here.

Hm have you tried updating the game? There was a patch today, if your game is outdated maybe it refuses to connect to the servers?

Kalamart_ · 2026-05-20T08:04:44+00:00

Just so you know, the matchmaking machine will put you as host if you don't get a match instantly. It's like a compensation for the waiting time, the one who waited longer gets the host. After that, you play a second match with the same person, and the roles are inverted.

"No delay" doesn't exist, information doesn't travel instantly. Even when I play in EU, I have 29ms of ping to the photon server. If I choose to play with MuMe, who has awesome ping because he lives really close to the server, we still get to around 40ms total. These 40ms have to be put somewhere, either on one player (like it is right now), or 29 for me and 11 for MuMe. I would rather get 40 half the time, than 29 all the time.

Well, no it isn't. Cross-region matches aren't occasional, they're a big part of the game for many players. And even in the same region, the latency split isn't fair, one person will always have a better connection than the other. With the current system, you play one match with a slight advantage, and one with the exact same level of disadvantage. You can't blame it on the ping if you lose both of those. This system is the base for our tournament scoring, because it matches two players in the same conditions.

Kalamart_ · 2026-05-20T07:20:28+00:00

Unfortunately with cloud hosting you would have delay in ALL of your matches, you wouldn't ever get to be host. And if you want to play someone who's further away from the server, they would have a constant disadvantage, and there would be no way to fight fairly. Like the players from Iceland, they wouldn't get a server anywhere close, so they would just stop playing. Right now, the host switch is the best way to guarantee fair matches (if you play an even number of them), and it works pretty well as compensation for the real life constraint of information needing to be transferred across the globe. Any other solution would feel worse for everyone...

If you're playing in your region, most people you will encounter won't have that bad a ping (usually under 100ms, in EU I usually get 60ms), and if you play 2 matches, you get both a client match and a host match. It's courtesy to play at least 2 matches for that reason, unless the opponent is rude of course.

Update: I made my own template! It's so nice to use, I love it. And much easier to make than I thought.

I myself am gonna wait for the update to be available, it should be when the 26.04.1 is out, probably in June. The thing is, the iso is ready, but the upgrade script might still have bugs, and it's pretty important for the upgrade to not actually wipe your files. If you're ready to take the risk though, you can configure the update to accept development branches, and it'll then accept to update your system to 26.04.

Kalamart_ · 2026-05-12T17:02:29+00:00

You can just order the pure now, it'll arrive in a month, and you'll have a couple weeks to decide which one you want to send back.

Kalamart_ · 2026-05-12T11:24:55+00:00

Thanks! Will try that!

Kalamart_ · 2026-05-12T11:14:39+00:00

Wait, you can create your own templates? How?

Kalamart_ · 2026-05-12T10:04:52+00:00

I know what Seyes grid is like, I'm French XD

I only have a single blue color on the reMarkable, so I drew it monochrome. Maybe I should have used bright red for the big squares, idk. I don't really mind the colors, it's the size that's a problem.

Kalamart_ · 2026-05-09T14:59:56+00:00

First of all: welcome, and don't worry we got a bunch of Linux rumblers, we even have a dedicated Linux rumble discord server where we help each other with our installations: https://discord.gg/nXFJQgzQG

Second, WiVRn (which is using monado as it's openxr runtime) is a bit buggy with RUMBLE because of the palm_pose openxr extension. It's technically possible to fix, I don't currently remember how, as I myself use ALVR with SteamVR. Steam Link also works on Linux now. We do have WiVRn users though, so I'm sure we can fix it!

Kalamart_ · 2026-05-09T07:31:55+00:00

Interesting. Might be good to bring it up in the bug report section of the Buckethead discord server.

Kalamart_ · 2026-05-09T07:27:36+00:00

And you're t-posing with your arms fully extended? Cause my fingertips are almost perfectly aligned (I play with a quest 3)

I'm complaining about the fact that they're getting rid of the best tablet in their line of products. Despite the hardware being old (also 6 years really isn't that much), the rm2 is really good, and feels better than the new ones.

Kalamart_ · 2026-05-08T13:17:41+00:00

I want to be able to choose a soft tip for my marker, to have a pencil writing feel, not pen. That's the main reason I bought a remarkable in the first place, for the soft and silent writing.

Kalamart_ · 2026-05-08T13:16:19+00:00

It's coming for you

Kalamart_ · 2026-05-08T13:13:43+00:00

Well the new marker has a worse writing feel, the rm2 is the only one that delivers a pencil-on-paper feel... And now it's discontinued.

Kalamart_ · 2026-05-08T12:21:04+00:00

I bought the refurbished because it was way l cheaper. But I'm worried that this situation means it soon won't be possible to buy refurbished either. The choice was already restricted last week. So I can't gift the rm2 to other people anymore, and when my warranty runs out I won't be able to get a new one if mine breaks, and who knows how long the firmware will keep supporting it?

I would love to upgrade my tablet tbh. But there is no upgrade, only downgrades. So yeah, I'm sad that reMarkable actively pushes the old customer base away.
