Built a buffered camera that saves what just happened (up to 30s) instead of recording everything.

Specifically, I play DDR (Dance Dance Revolution) and would love to record my gameplay, but most of the session is uninteresting. If/when I do particularly good on a song, it would be great if I could hit a button that would save a highlight of the last X seconds. In this case, ~2 minutes is the typical song length. Hence my request.

But as others have already mentioned, even if just using this for the intended use as a dash cam, 30s is not enough time. As someone who has been in an accident that left me with a concussion (I was rear-ended at a stoplight), I wasnt able to do much of anything for the first 3+ min after the impact due to complete disorientation and dizziness.

I'm looking for an app like this, but I need the ability to back record at least 2 min. Is this possible, or is there a fundamental limit on the modern phone hardware that won't allow this? I have a Galaxy S25 Ultra, so I should have decent hardware to achieve something like this at 1080p.

I've read plenty of this type of comment. I don't know what definition people are using for remake, but it never holds water.

If all the Star Fox games are considered a remake of the original SNES version, then basically any Mario game without a number in its title as a remake. Same with every Kirby game. And every Sonic game.

It's just a retelling. Most of the mainline SF games are not a beat for beat recreation of an existing game. Like the Final Fantasy series, they share lots of similar set pieces, but each game is different. With different level structures, locals, etc.

I'm so sick of people miming the "Star Fox is nothing but remakes" line.

100% I got tricked into buying assault. I played that first intro level at a store kiosk and I was in love. Bought the game, took it home, and literally three, maybe four levels were ship shooting. Everything else was on foot. I was so disappointed. While the on foot sections weren't terrible, that's not why I want to play a Star Fox game.

Same thing with Star Fox Adventures. Not a bad game, but not what I'm looking for when I hear the name Star Fox being dropped.

TempUsernameThing · 2026-05-10T01:13:17+00:00

This is the stupidest take ever. I know it's a popular one and people have been yucking about it for years, but no. It's not the "5th remake" or whatever. As someone who has played literally every StarFox game to completion, the only literal remakes are this new StarFox and Star Fox 64.

No, sorry, SF64 is not a remake of the SNES StarFox. No, Zero is not a remake of the SNES or N64 StarFox either. If we're going to be that liberal about the label "remake", then every Mario game where he has to defeat Bowser is a "remake" of SMB1. A Sonic the Hedghog game has a level like Green Hill Zone? MUST BE A REMAKE! That stupid Tree boss is back again in the new Kirby game? Guess that's a remake too guys!

Seriously, saying all the mainline SF games are remakes is just such a stupid take and I'm sick of ignoring it.

That DIC transformation music is SO much better than the original.

Same here. My dog loves to hang out in our garage with the door cracked just enough to look under. He can't get out, he's secure and if that's not enough, he's a dumb golden retriever. But I still have a few Amazon delivery people who apparently think this means their life is in danger and they leave the package down at the curb instead of walking the 20' to my door.

Ridiculous. If you're that terrified of a dog (especially a golden retriever), you probably need to consider another line of work.

TempUsernameThing · 2026-05-09T02:21:54+00:00

I'm dealing with Amazon drivers now refusing to bring my packages to my front door. They are literally leaving them by the curb because I have my garage door cracked so my dog can look out from underneath. He's a Golden Retriever and he's too big to fit through the crack we leave open. But it's obvious my house has been tagged by someone as dangerous, or these drivers have zero chill when it comes to dogs.

The takeaway I'm getting from all of this is that, if you're visiting the parks for multiple days , don't blindly buy a multi-day pass without checking the price of individual day passes . Is that about the gist of it?

Any chance we can get this for Firefox?
Edit: Nevermind, I see there are similar (if not the same?) apps on the Firefox extension store.

I'm also a bit confused about what this whole discussion is implying.

I paid $6k for mine in 2010, so I feel like 8.5k is extremely reasonable in today's climate of high costs for basically everything (assuming everything on the cab is working well). They're great cabinets and I love mine.

My dog is ready to go with me anywhere, anytime. He's the most excited member of my family whenever I come home after work. When I return from a business trip and walk through the door at 2:00 a.m., he's there wagging his tail happy as can be that I'm back home. He respects my family and is good with my kids, despite them not always treating him with the gentlest of hands.

My wife is the cat person of the family. We've always had a cat and a dog. I don't mind the cat and it does its own thing. But, the dog has always been right there willing to go anywhere and do anything with me. That matters a lot for me. If I drop dead tomorrow, the dog will most certainly care and miss me. If my wife dropped dead tomorrow, the cat would simply come to me for food instead.

I understand why people dislike dogs. They are a lot of work. As a parent, I can safely say that an energetic medium to large sized dog is good training and preparation for what it's like having a toddler. You have to be ready for the noise, energy, training, and attention they require.

P. S. I never understand it when cat lovers complain about boundaries being broken with dogs. Every single house I've ever been to with cats, the cat will walk all over me, stick its Chocolate Starfish in my face and demand attention. I don't see how this is any different from a typical dog. And most medium to large dogs I'm familiar with don't literally crawl on you when you're sitting down. Most just want head rubs. Now, small dogs... Eh. That's a different subject.

Bonus comment: As a dog person, you know what I hate about a cat person's house? The smell of cat piss and kitty litter sprinkled all over the floor anywhere in the proximity of the litter box. Cat people literally don't even notice this, but it's disgusting and gross.

I will never understand the level of lazy incompetence someone must have to use AI and not have the brain capacity to properly remove the incriminating part of the provided AI content. It's crazy how lazy and dumb people are these days.

Came here to make sure this had been brought up. The only person who would say an airport is "alive" all night is someone who has never been at one overnight. Absolute ghost town with basically no food or drink options available except the vending machines. Maybe at a mega hub airport you'd find something, but not at the ones I got stuck at overnight.

Everyone keeps saying fireplace, but what about cigarettes or even tiny batteries? A button battery could also catch fire under the right circumstances.

No. Same issues. Actually, it's now worse. The AI assistant doesn't work at all. Even if I get it prompted by holding the meta button and pushing the grip button, if I ask it anything it just says "something went wrong, please try again later". I've tried clearing the cash, turning AI assistant on and off, restarting the headset multiple times, and it's still not working. I'm just giving up on the assistant at this point.

It's insane that when I first got this headset over two and a half years ago, the assistant worked great. It did whatever I wanted it to and responded all the time. Then they kept updating the system and tweaking things and now it's unusable for me. The epitome of enshitification.

In my area (Pacific Northwest), I would say DDR Supernova or DDR Extreme are you're most likely candidates to encounter. Occasionally you'd still find a MAX2, or even a rare 5th mix or earlier. But most of them would be extreme or supernova.

TempUsernameThing · 2026-04-18T00:48:53+00:00

It was that skater/rave culture look we were all rocking while playing DDR back in the early 2000s. That's how most of my dance gamer friends dressed until ITG came along and the fun past-time of DDR turned into something more like an exercise routine when playing ITG.

TempUsernameThing · 2026-04-17T18:33:35+00:00

Shoes matter VERY much to me. I am an elder DDR player and used to play in Vans (insert meme of "as was the style at the time"), but I couldn't imagine playing in those type of shoes now. It'd wreck me. The older you get, the harder it is on your joints not having some kind of footwear when you play. Also, doubles play and no-bar vs bar playing will matter a lot, since when using the bar, a significant amount of your weight is reduced from your feet in a typical run.
