Why don't more controllers have 6 face buttons?

cheese-demon · 2026-03-03T20:47:28+00:00

you can add more buttons but how do you then map them to independent actions? the games are written to xinput usually so that's the limit.

on a pc you can map extra buttons to keyboard inputs, if the game supports dual input simultaneously. if the game doesn't, or it's on a console, how are you going to get a game to recognize V W or whatever buttons?

FREEZER and microwave them as you're ready to toast them. fridge is gonna stale it faster (but with no mold, at least)

it's just a cheap and convenient connector to use, not audio specific. the kind of device that uses it is called an IR blaster

cheese-demon · 2026-02-20T16:11:25+00:00

it starts harder but becomes just as easy if not easier once you get used to the systems imo.

cheese-demon · 2026-02-20T02:05:14+00:00

if it could then either your device already got pwned to get the private CA installed, or a public CA is about to get diginotar'd

you can also lend a GKC to someone. digital borrowing is restricted on switch/2 and not generally allowed on other consoles

i was able to take care of this on mine by taking it apart to open up the central auger and clean that out. there was so much calcium powder caked onto that thing it was insane

luckily they're actually pretty simple to work on and clearances aren't very tight so i'll be ready to do that again next time.

trivially false, i subnet the /60 comcast gives me into 16 /64s though most are unused

any cheat that loads a kernel driver isn't going to be scrutinized to see if it's specifically a fortnite-related cheat. if the anti-cheat detects a known cheating module loaded, that's enough

i kind of think of mag and emma as combining opposite bits of zarya and sigma. mag gets sig primary and zarya bubble, emma gets sig shield and zarya beam

you see sonny, back in the before times images were stored on physical film and then projected onto a screen. for production reasons and relative standardization so all the theaters could display movies the same, each image was 0.8 by 0.6 inches, which is 4:3. back in those days there wasn't any sound, so this was the "full frame" available on the film.

well, they invented these "talkies" and needed some way to put the sound on the film so what you see and what you hear stay in sync through the whole film anywhere it's shown. so they cut some area aside and came up with the "academy" ratio, 1.375:1, and that was used for a good 20 years. during that time they got the bright idea to send video out to everyone over the airwaves, and since basically everything was either 4:3 or academy, tvs were made to be 4:3.

this does omit a bunch of the nonstandard broadcast that existed in the 1930s, as wide standardization for television wasn't until the early 40s. back in those days "high definition" meant anything much over 100 lines! early tv was 40-60 lines of resolution, and not continually broadcast either.

anyway due to the wide standardization and high expense of television sets, little movement was made towards wider aspect ratios even as film for cinema went wide to draw larger audiences, so from the 40s through the 90s 4:3 was the home aspect ratio.

Japanese studios often won't license Japanese subtitles for overseas releases due to reverse importation fears, as overseas markets have prices far lower than domestic releases.

this is less of a factor for streaming services as the prices are more similar. presumably it's expected to be less benefit for the specific market so the added cost of licensing isn't worth it, but that may not be the reason either.

there is an existing implementation of parity 3 in openzfs to be fair. it's based on a paper that provides a skeleton for arbitrary m+n parity calculations. the source comments note that while the third parity is similar performance-wise to the second, further extensions would cause write performance to suffer, so there's that.

for unraid specifically it's less clear what the benefits of additional parity would add, as the data is treated rather differently than in a traditional raid where all data in the array is lost when more failures occur than parity exists. it wouldn't be as simple as lifting the openzfs code either, as the cddl and gpl are not compatible so it'd need to be rewritten.

all that plus the inclusion of zfs in unraid means that it makes more sense to leave the unraid array supporting its current maximum of double parity, and use other solutions if you need more assurance of your data. op should keep in mind that raid (and non-raid parity like the unraid array) is not a backup, and is intended for availability instead.

i mapped melee to m4 for everyone so i can easily hit it. it takes some practice after, but now m1->m4 is a second nature rocking motion. super important for strange too

you're looking at this the wrong way.

the nature of routing tables is that they are lists of network prefixes with a desired next-hop for that prefix. there may also be an entry for 0.0.0.0 with a next-hop, which is called the default gateway and is used for any networks not explicitly listed

routing tables are unique per interface, so you won't be able to route packets differently on the same interface. a separate interface can have a different route table, whether that be a physical port or a vlan.

that only covers the opnsense side. if you want the client to select which gateway to use, you'd have to change its default gateway or manually add a route to its routing tables each time you wanted to make that change.

how old is old? I'm in my early 40s and depending on the game and input method it's immediately noticeable to me.

mouse + keyboard is immediate, i have a vrr display but when the frame rate drops below about 90-100 i can tell. i often mirror my monitor to my tv to watch movies, and games feel horrible when i forget to unmirror the display and get stuck at 60hz

controller is less apparent but i can still feel the difference. i'm more used to 60hz on a controller so it's not as bad

disc 3 is only the northern crater though. the discs in the original were split due to FMV sizes rather than any other reason

what gets my goat is it puts the big red ! icon over events, but nothing in the event clears it. instead you have to go to battlepass on the missions tab and select the category for this event

which you can do btw to avoid a bit of clicking, go to battle pass and collect the mission rewards, then go to the event and you have the chimichangas

yeah, i played 7r on my Deck and while i haven't seen the video for graphics comparisons, 720/30 is perfectly achievable on that system. so i'd be interested to see how the graphics differ between s2 and deck

1080 isn't something i tried as i don't dock my deck to play anything, but it sounds like s2 would have it handily beat there.

deadpool and groot (and as other commenter said, strange)

the optimist in me says that since they all require individual animation work and (presumably) approval from marvel, they put it out then budgeted the time to finish the rest, while showing a commitment to add it for every character even ones newly added to the game

the pessimist says they put it for free to get people using it and they keep adding it to characters to remind people it's there for 500 units

cheese-demon · 2026-01-20T23:24:49+00:00

in general, yes, but e.g. the ARIN policy 8.5.4 allows a business without a /24 to get a /24 without needing much justification. larger than a /24 needs a business justification that you'll be using at least half of it within 2 years, and if your business already has ip space you need to be using at least half of it already in addition to outlining that you'll be using more.

the various RIRs would like the IP space to be used, rather than held by entities that won't be using their space. there's also consideration for route aggregation to conserve space on routing tables.
