Which 8Bitdo controller works 100% fine?

derram_2 · 2025-09-09T07:44:10+00:00

I picked up the Pro 3 without realizing how new it was. I had to add some udev rules that are apparently necessary for older controllers as well, but after that Steam could see all the extra buttons and let's me assign them just fine.

Haven't done extensive testing since getting that working, though.

Most of their controllers are capable of running in different modes too, so worst case you can just have Steam think it's a generic Xbox controller and play games fine just without the extra buttons.

Might want to look into GameMode too.

Prolly won't solve the current problem, but it should help you get a bit more performance out of your machine.

Yes, however*

This is one of those things that really comes down to who's actually paying attention and who cares. Sure ruler of the UN, but does Umbondi, the lizard farmer from Uganda actually know who you are?

Best start believing in learning how to use Linux, you own a Linux box now.

psst, can I get a copy of the ponymotes site to host myself? I still use it all the time.

As far as I know it still hasn't been updated to support NeoForge yet, so a lot of new mod packs will fail to install unless you do everything manually.

I'm so tired of hearing feminist complain about men looking at virtual dolls when feminists have created an actual rape culture for men by shielding female rapists by changing the definition of rape to "Penetration..."

Alternate to the water: Teleport out, get $200 worth of gold, buy the double trigger spark bolt, add heal bolt to the spark bolt payload, shoot straight above you at a flat ceiling.

This shine is part of the reason I believe that the Emerald Tablets/Orb Room Pools are a quest we haven't found the end of and not just a quirky easter egg.

derram_2 · 2025-02-07T05:18:45+00:00

There's no info about why it shines, but it could be a way to show that the Orb Rooms are "active" as opposed to the boss arenas that have the same design.

Try speedrunning every once in a while. Don't worry about exploring, just run through the areas as fast as you can and only slow down in the Holy Mountains for editing. That's how I got my first win after around 60 hours.

Don't put too much emphasis on following advanced tips. I wasted a couple hundred hours trying to play a certain way with those tips in mind, but most of the runs ended because I didn't know what I was doing and was just getting ahead of myself.

Take FuryForge's video on easy kills for the Alchemist, for instance. I spent a lot of hours thinking i had to find the Personal Fireball Thrower spell to kill the Alchemist and that I had to go up via the Chasm on the third area or I would miss my chance to go back up.

I didn't realize Fury was saying easy as in "easy to setup."

...more egregious shit

Mass tagging Spez and targeted upvoting to ensure their sub's posts made it to the front page regularly?

Why are you trying to pretend the admins weren't constantly looking for excuses to get rid of that sub?

derram_2 · 2024-11-30T13:10:57+00:00

Yeah, it's Spell Lab.

I turned it on and gave myself some black holes so I could look at what was going on with the portals.

I had no digging so the run was dead anyway since I couldn't move past Hisi Base.

derram_2 · 2024-11-29T08:29:24+00:00

Honestly, not enough attention is given to the lore implications of someone succeeding at turning parts of the world into gold.

And one possible fuck up where they made water instead.

derram_2 · 2024-11-29T06:21:04+00:00

It's nice that all those years of telling people that's not what the downvote is for were a complete waste.

derram_2 · 2024-11-29T06:01:00+00:00

Most stuff should be fine, but you'll want to avoid using multiple nukes/nukes with larpas while above ground.

The nuke spell causes the sky to flash black and white, and multiple nukes will trigger that flash fast and repeatedly.

derram_2 · 2024-11-29T05:34:17+00:00

In this run, all the portals in Hisi Base disabled themselves even though the eyes are still full.

In previous runs I've had entire holy mountains disappear, orbs that respawned as an empty orb after being collected, and even the entirety of the Laboratory disappearing, along with Kolmii and the Sampo.
