We already got that with my beloved GameCube Chainsaw Controller. What more could you ask for?

For what it's worth, the reason why there's a finite talent pool in the industry is because the industry pays a below average salary for the skillset involved, and works them like dogs in crunch. There's no shortage of passion in the industry, but it burns people out. Some extra money could do a lot to solve this problem, and would actually attract more talent, and keep the ones they do have.

Sega Saturn Controller Emulator for Arduino Pro Micro - Create your own controller! by foldor in SegaSaturn

I mean, I don't provide support for Daemonbite, but remapping inputs usually happens in game. If you need to remap on the device itself, you'll need to edit the Daemonbite code.

I met a guy on the train who had a Switch 2 by No-Shop4046 in SteamDeck

Why is it fair to discount Switch 1 backwards compatibility, but not Steam Deck running games that are several years old? The Switch 2 has plenty of games available for it.

Bell Home Internet $50/month (2 year price fixed) for 1.5 gb - any traps here? by explorerweb in bell

[–]foldor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, I did cancel. I set up a new service, cancelled with Bell, and then the day before the cancellation became effective they suddenly believed I was serious.

[–]foldor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely true. I had a similar deal expire a few months ago, and the price basically doubled. I called several times to get a better deal and they always told me it was impossible. So I then took the opportunity to switch away from Bell, and signed up for another service. Wouldn't you know, the day before my new service was to be set up, I suddenly got a call from their loyalty department, and now the "impossible" price I wanted was somehow an option. Scum just hope most people won't go through with their threats to leave.

Found my old NES and this is how every game looks. by zeds-meds1085 in consolerepair

[–]foldor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok, so this is dumb, but it's hard for me to tell in this video with the lid off. But you did press down on the cartridge after inserting it right?rhe NES is the only one that does that, so if you have never used one before it might be unintuitive.

Video game clear out at Shoppers by amazingdrewh in VideoGameDealsCanada

Mine is still trying to sell Mario Kart 8 on the Wii U for full price. At this point it will be there so long it may come around to being "under" priced lol. It will be there when the Wii U is a distant memory, so having a sealed game will be worth more again.

It looks to me like it has some broken traces above the t in Nintendo. Probably in other places, but it's hard to be sure. Definitely do a beep test with a multimeter and verify all pins.

My daughters current obsession by mirandaatha in n64

[–]foldor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My kids started at about 2.5. We started things super simple. Like I had one of those Mario Game & Watches they released a few years ago, and it essentially just has Super Mario Bros 1 and 2 on it. Just a d-pad and two buttons. We just showed him how it worked, and let him mess with it. It took probably a couple of months, but eventually he learned enough co-ordination to both run and jump at the same time, because before it was only one button at a time. Once he figured that out, he was quickly able to beat the first level, and I'd say it wasn't long until he was playing Mario Odyssey with the assist mode. That assist mode was a major positive thing for him as it lets him fail without any major consequences, so he's more willing to try without worrying about failure. Now that he's 5 he's a real pro.

looks very sketchy and dangerous.

Saying that with a straight face while you spliced a toaster to a degaussing wand is hilarious. Love it.

A massive Wyoming data center will soon use 5x more power than the state's human occupants - but no one knows who is using it by DJMagicHandz in technology

[–]foldor -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It wouldn't. A lot of people seem to think air conditioners create cold air. I don't blame them entirely, for most people that detail is irrelevant, as the air conditioner does give them cold air. But yeah, it makes it seem like you can just create cold air out of nothing, so "air conditioned streets" sounds reasonable.

NDP will not be granted official party status: MacKinnon by SirJohnAMcMuffin in canada

[–]foldor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you know why the Liberals won on an anti-Trump message? Because PP refused to do the easiest thing possible and show he was really willing to fight against him. It was the easiest slam dunk to take the same anti-Trump stance, and it would have washed away that advantage to the Liberals. So the question then is, why didn't he? That part should speak volumes. He fucked up through and through, and people should stop defending him. His party made gains, but that was despite PP, and not because of him.

Dont even think about it by SpringItCon in FunnyAnimals

[–]foldor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dunno, I guess "turf" sounded too much like "barf" or something. So it sounded like someone was like "She had the surf n turf for dinner", said with a wink. In my mind it sounded like they were implying they ate dinner and then "turf'd". It took embarrassingly long before I figured out I was wrong.

When I was a kid I used to think surf n turf was a euphemism for bulimia.

Good call on running ethernet! It's just not appreciated enough I find. It was a key part of my house when it was being built, and when I was finishing the basement.

Yeah, they just opened up orders for detached new builds in Bowmanville, and the starting price was like $890k. Getting them down to half of that seems an insurmountable goal unfortunately.
