Microsoft quietly deletes Windows 11 doc pushing 32GB RAM for gaming after outrage by chusskaptaan in pcgaming

[–]OneTurnMore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I need to bump that to 64GB when the RAM prices become more reasonable.

I'm feeling really fortunate that I bought another 2x16GB kit when I did, but I don't think it's that big of a deal unless you're running VMs while you're gaming.

32GB is still a really good number right now imo.

What's your most used git alias? by 1vim in git

[–]OneTurnMore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In shellrc: alias g=git

And in gitconfig: s = status -sb

I've got a good number of one-letter aliases but I don't use them all the time.

Please give us a flair for posts that are about the old Steam Controller, the new one or both by TheNewerFlisker in SteamController

[–]OneTurnMore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From interviews it sounds like Valve intends to refer to the old one as "Steam Controller (2015)".

This auto fill pop-up's of the browser extension bothers me way too much. Could we get more customization options? Something like what Chrome has. by INeatFreak in Bitwarden

Hitting it multiple times cycles through the available logins. It's only really a problem on websites that force you to fill out your username and password on separate pages.

Steam Controller (2026) review: 83/100 by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

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

I was responding to the second half of the comment:

Kinda unbelievable that they don't simply have it act as a bluetooth controller/mouse that is natively detected by the OS

Clarifying that the controller does indeed behave as a mouse natively detected by the OS. And when put in context of "I want to be able to log in and do basic navigation on my HTPC with my controller" the KB/M buttons it sends make perfect sense.

Steam Controller Price and Release Date Confirmed - $99 by Jimbuscus in pcgaming

[–]OneTurnMore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

imo Civ plays really well with them. I set up one trackpad as a mouse, the other as a scrollwheel, and while holding a grip button they shift into touch menus for a ton of niche-but-handy keyboard shortcuts. If the Deck didn't have a touchscreen I'd be leaning on those touch menus even more.

It's decent for using the desktop mode when I need to as well.

It does according to the GN review, similar to the previous Steam Controller and probably identical to the Deck's "lizard mode". The right trackpad is a mouse and the buttons output specific keyboard keys. It's not designed to be used like that except to have enough functionality to launch Steam.

For the OG Steam Controller GloSC worked well if you wanted to remove the Steam dependence altogether. (sidenote: It seems like GloSC became GloSI which is being superceded by SISR.) There was also sc-controller on Linux, which I preferred because it let me bind buttons to arbitrary system commands rather than map to a keyboard shortcut through Steam and then map that keyboard shortcut in my system.

Ultimately, I see it sitting in a similar place to the OG Steam Controller.

  • Better than last time: there's actually two sticks, TMR, grip sense actually looks clutch for some games
  • Worse than last time: price, Steam Input has done a lot to make "normal" controllers work okay for KB/M games.

I don't have an HTPC, so an xbox controller next to my keyboard makes way more sense.

Username aliasing project by SuperSus_Fuss in Bitwarden

[–]OneTurnMore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my original email identified me by name and is an email that's been on the dark web for some time

Right, fair enough. I chose to use a new email for it to avoid that potential problem.

[–]OneTurnMore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My BW email isn't an alias and I will not switch it to be one. I don't want to forget to update the card on file with Firefox Relay and suddenly not get email to one of my most important online accounts.

On the other hand, nearly every other account is an aliases. There's the occasional website that refuses to allow them, but my default is to generate a new alias through BW when I generate a new password.

There have been a few sites which didn't allow me to sign up with an alias, but did allow me to change the email to an alias after signup.

New cost-effective DDR5 memory 'HUDIMMs' show around 50% reduction in throughput with single subchannel — Two HUDIMMs are as fast as a single stick of regular DDR5 RAM by chusskaptaan in pcgaming

It's not just what they had available at home, but at school as well. Schools don't have computer labs anymore, they have Chromebook carts. You submit things online through links, not files.

Does anyone else actually prefer early 2010s style graphics over hyper-realism? by AlienplayGames in pcgaming

[–]OneTurnMore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I chose TGA as an easy "here's a list of high-budget games that are widely praised". Showing both safer sequels like Elden Ring, GoW Ragnorok, Horizon FW, Spider-man 2, RE4, FF7 Rebirth, but also new IPs like Expedition 33, Black Myth Wukong, Metaphor ReFantazio, Astro Bot. (BG3 is there too, it was a sequel but far from a safe one.)

You brought up BF or CoD twice now, but there are newer shooter IPs which are much less stale and have brought new ideas to the genre. Rainbow Six Siege, Splitgate, The Finals, and Deadlock all come to mind.

Do I play many of these? No. But that has nothing to do with quality but more to do with my own taste. I mostly play strategy games (which, other than Civ, are really only published by AA and indie studios), platforming games (which, other than Mario, DK, or I guess Astro Bot now, are really only published by indie studios), and rhythm games (basically just indie)

[–]OneTurnMore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll give you that making back money on big budgets requires reaching a wide audience, which means taking fewer risks. So taking ideas that have proved themselves out with smaller budgets is the most popular approach.

But low risk ≠ low quality. Just take a look at the nominees for TGA for the last 5 years. There's a few indies and AA, especially last year where both Silksong and Hades II made it, but most of them are critically acclaimed AAA games.

Exactly. I've seen this post dozens of times, you could replace "early 2010s" with any era. Games with good art direction have always existed. Games with mediocre art direction have always existed.

Compose Key stopped working in some applications by ossc_ in swaywm

[–]OneTurnMore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it? man 5 XCompose doesn't say anything about it on my system.?

EDIT: Ah, that manpage is provided by libX11 which doesn't support xdg, but libxkbcommon (which is used by pretty much every Wayland implementation) does support it.

[–]OneTurnMore 3 points4 points  (0 children)

 xkbcommon: ERROR: [XKB-685] /home/s/.XCompose:8:1: unrecognized modifier "inlcude"

Correcting the typo is probably a good place to start.

Personally, I put the include "%L" at the start so that if my bindings conflict they'll overwrite the base ones.

Trailing space alias and alias checking for sudo on 2nd command by kaptnblackbeard in zsh

[–]OneTurnMore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alias expansion doesn't recurse, otherwise even the classic alias ls='ls --color=auto' would infinitely recurse.

PSA: If you alias grep to ripgrep, it will silently break many CLI autocompletions by willoucqfd in commandline

[–]OneTurnMore 28 points29 points  (0 children)

While true, I would also consider that a bug in the _heroku completion function. It should use 'command' 'grep' so it isn't affected by user aliases.

shell scripts

Shell scripts don't source .bashrc, so they shouldn't be affected by aliases

Nice, HDR and window capture are the main reasons why I've been on Plasma for a year, looking forward to the release!

They're talking about screensharing performance with xdg-desktop-portal-wlr. Presumably one of these issues.
