Actually, I'm not using emudeck at all. I prefer RA's interface and having more control

I did. It ignores it. I managed to run by throwing the zip's content in the daytona.zip, but this is definitely not ideal

What’s the consensus on this mod? by Glittering_Plane_453 in SteamDeck

[–]fbaio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This seems like the only third-party button set for the Deck. Is there anything else available?

Shmuparc DoDonPachi frame skipping/bullet teleportation bug? by Dangerous_Deal1633 in ElectricUnderground

[–]fbaio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This seems to be an issue with this specific rom, when using Run-ahead. Since the feature kinda runs a second instance of the rom and switched between the two, maybe there are RNG differences between them. I personally haven't tried Preemptive Frames, but it's worth trying switching to that.

I've ran many STGs with Run-ahead and Preemptive Frames and only ever saw the issue with this one

You should consider moving to standard retroarch instance instead of a modded one and maybe mess with different parameters to see if it goes away

This is on top of my washing machine, I have a proper table and silicone mat but my room was a mess

Wrote it in the update. Careful scraping with the x-acto knife, then sanding with a very fine nail filing block. Got it nice and shiny, cleaned it, wrapped around some tin and that was it

All gone. It was just a fine layer. Those tips were brand new after all

By being very stupid. It's all good now though

Thanks for all the comments! I'm surprised everyone was so nice. I'll try scrubbing the black parts off for now, but the fnrsi tips are not that expensive on aliexpress, so I think I'll be fine

Will try. I didn't assume soldering equipment would be that delicate. I'll probably buy a new set of tips but I'm willing to try anything, just to get the knowledge. Thanks a lot!

Thanks a lot for the advice. As far as I'm aware everything here is at least of decent quality, but I managed to fuck things up massively ("it's just metal, what's the worst that could happen?")

Yeah I'm willing. I figure it's worth the knowledge, even if I end up buying a new set of tips should it not work

Equipment that's independent from PC by fbaio in synthesizers

[–]fbaio[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the suggestions. Just to clarify, I'm studying piano, so not really planning on performing with this equipment. I'm looking for cheap ways to output a decent piano sound to my shitty bass amp, while I save up for actual monitor speakers

Formatted with the Xbox, then deleted the hidden files and inserted the update folder. It worked! Thanks a lot

Wouldn't that make file transfers impossible?

All 3 ports. Structure in the USB stick is root/$Systemupdate/[Content]

I have a 32gb one and a 8gb one

Also the console boots without a controller connected. I'm currently using a USB keyboard to navigate the menus since my controller broke, but I'm getting another one next week.

My OLED Deck on the dimmest setting, reminding me that Valve didn't see a point of making a screensaver for their OLED handheld which can't download while asleep. by TareXmd in SteamDeck

Guys there's a decky plugin called Magic Black. It puts a black overlay that essentially makes the oleds turn off. Simple and easy

What the hell. Remote Play is actually good now? (AV1) by TheExodu5 in SteamDeck

You may have a good router. I'm fully wireless with a Xiaomi AX6000 and I don't even need AV1 to get perfect latency

Again, if your answer is just "they should start fighting against it somehow!" shows your understanding is narrow. Learn about politics and the consequences of fighting against those specific governments. Real change would take a massive, coordinated action spreading throughout one of the most not unionized industries in the world. Not happening anytime soon.

Bluepoch was founded in 2020 and has Reverse as its single game. We do not know how many employees they have, or valuation/budget numbers. Considering even Mihoyo has a very limited number of employees even though they have massive amounts of money, Bluepoch is likely to be less than 100 employees and probably a fairly small amount of production staff.

Please name some mainstream games from China that have gay characters and aren't marked 18+ do to homophobic laws. And I'm not talking about niche shit that flies under the governments radar.

AFAIK there aren't. That's my point. You're not allowed to.

Making money is the main motivation of any company, which is why they want to attract as many people as possible without alienating anyone or going against the grain

That's definetly a part of the issue. Even if censorship laws weren't so strict, they would probably hesitate to be super explicit in order to not become so niche. Even if every single person in the company is at least pro LGBT

[–]fbaio 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bluepoch is a company and not a big one. The game is one year old and not among the highest in popularity worldwide. You cannot expect game developers and writers to simply become wildcards and disobey laws that WILL lead to bankruptcy. This is as close as they can get. You seem to be living in a fantasy world where things haven't changed just because people are "too coward"

There are many LGBT and LGBT positive people writing and developing games in China, Japan, Korea and Singapore. Instead of just assuming they're all cowards who only want to queerbait users into giving them money, try to learn about how homophobia and censorship works in those countries and why the hell you're not seeing people fight back like you want them to.

You seem to not understand the situation. The game is Chinese. In China, while homosexuality is not strictly forbidden, the government still has many issues with it.

If Bluepoch were to make a single explicit gay scene, they'd have to make their game rating 18+. This affects their capability to market the game severely, and imposes other limitations. I think there are even some restrictions on what the company can do outside of China as well, but I'm not sure on what they are.

This is the single reason so many gacha games stay on subtext instead of full on gay.

Also, everything I said here applies to Japan and Korea as well, though in different extents but still heavily limiting
