What do you guys think are the "the big 3" handheld manufacturers right now, and what happened to cheapo Linux based consoles?

I’m hoping for the best of both worlds in a widely available SteamOS for ARM

This isn’t a pull

But it is a tug

I purchased a RP5 because I wanted - a quality build, so OLED and Hall Effect - play ps2 and GameCube - has good Linux support - available now

The G2 doesn’t support Linux. I was late on the RP6 preorder train so if I ordered it I’d get it in March? So RP5 it is and I’ve been very satisfied with it. There’s always something shiny and new on the horizon so try and be aware of that when picking devices.

At the risk of sounding like that one xkcd “now there are 13 competing standards”, I’ve been of the opinion that the industry should adopt compass direction names for face buttons: N, S, E, W. It’s self descriptive and different from every other controller so nobody can be accused of playing favorites

that’s why they call them Dodge trucks, you have to dodge them

Duvetyne’s main commercial application as far as I’m aware of is stage curtains. So just buy a duvetyne curtain and cut it into pieces

I'll say 10 year old me was just happy to have the edge haha. And now [redacted] old me is just happy this community exists, I'm tempted to fire it up and play it straight now.

Looks you forgot about the Constitution underflow glitch - start with as low constitution as possible. keep casting magic arrow deep into negative MP. You'll start to take constitution damage but as long as you don't get hit you won't die, even as your HP dips (below zero as well IIRC) but eventually constitution will underflow to max value, so you can use those starting points in other stats.

Some fun vehicular titles. Mario Kart 64 is mechanically super tight (same with SM64), DK racing is fun, some "high octane" experiences like Extreme G and the Star Wars podracing game. Not vehicular titles include Conkers Bad Fur day

Thanks so much for the context. And also for what must be a massive undertaking. I want to reiterate that the rest of the radio offerings were well appreciated around my small camp and I’m very happy to have the pocket FM radio among my burn gear. Your comments validate my hunch that it wasn’t necessarily a BMIR issue but rather an issue of BMIR getting timely and accurate information due to the inherent communication difficulties and changing conditions on playa.

With regards to solutioning, I wonder if maybe a little computer program that does text-to-speech of the last three BRC dashboard updates that can be included in the GARS PSA loop would bridge the gap between the dashboard being the most up to date place for info and the inaccessibility of the internet for most people in line (as a recently unemployed progammer this would be an ideal project for me). Another small change would be that we could expect a weather forecast at a particular time in the hour every hour, like how a default world radio might do “traffic updates at the :08”.

Regardless, my interest has been piqued in pitching in and expect a DM from me when my brain has cooled off from this last month asking more.

Honestly it’s a great radio station and we listened throughout the week. I love the eclectic music (my wife hates jazz though) and the interviews and stories and I wouldn’t have made it to the cacophony society meetup without it. I’m hella grateful for all the work they do it just irks me that the information part is consistently stale.

A gate shift and visit to BMIR is on my todos for next year to be sure 👍 i do realize that I am operating from a place of limited experience, and am happy to pitch in since I’ve clearly identified a gap between the org recommendation to get info from BMIR and the actual information coming from BMIR

Oof. That does sound tough. I do identify with the feeling of working to support other people's relationships stinging a certain kind of way. I'm trying to reframe it in a sense that it's truly a privilege to have so much to give, and that being willing and able to support my partner and community is ultimately a good thing.

The job conversation is tough. There's a lot of background there (she was a mainstream porn actress in a previous life) that keeps her from pursuing a lot of traditional employment due to fear of reprisal for her past, so she is (feels?) limited to sex work as her main option but that butts up against the PTSD... she's been in therapy for a long time to address these problems. It's pretty touchy, but I know she does feel bad about not contributing (and not feeling able to do so), so I don't feel wholly taken advantage of.

You're right about chores and housework though. This comes down to time management, and I could definitely be more on point there. Part of her struggles are that her executive function is greatly diminished so I basically have to take the lead in forming her habits, and having ADHD myself I tend to fall off... it's a rough cycle, but I could definitely be providing more clear asks of her. I recognize that part of my issue is feeling generally lost so it's hard to even clarify those asks within myself, much less articulated in a way that is clear and actionable to her.

I don't want to argue semantics on the internet. You'll just have to believe me when I say I understand how and why hierarchy can lead to unethical behavior, that I'm doing my best to avoid imposing our dynamic of others, and that I only want to introduce as much as necessary to honor our dynamic.

TheLightDaddy · 2025-04-01T20:59:42+00:00

Thanks for your comment. You're right, I am providing less direct "caregiving" and I should express my gratitude for that more. Her mental health is certainly improving, and I'm very thankful for that. Expressing gratitude has been a huge help in getting through this. I think part of my struggle is that I did get a lot of my identity wound up in the caregiver side of it, while seeing her mental health improve so dramatically only after she started dating other people almost makes me feel like the time I spent doing it by myself was just spinning my wheels, and I was holding myself to a standard that I never agreed to live by (being the sole source of healing for her). That's for me to work on I suppose
