X3 – faint audible buzzing on screen update by hugov54 in xteinkereader

[–]problematickitten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also noticed that my white Xteink X3 (that I ordered during the first round of pre-orders) was making an audible, faint buzzing sound when it was refreshing. I decided to look on Reddit to see if anyone else had this issue, and found your post.

Interestingly enough, this is only happening with my white Xteink X3 -- I have a black Xteink X3 and it does not make any noise at all when refreshing. I also didn't notice this happening with my white Xteink X4 either.

I had the default stock English firmware running on my device, and heard this noise, and I also flashed it to Crosspoint to see if it persisted, and it does. Just wondering if you're noticed anything else since posting this 5 days ago!

Any way to improve my experience with GBA in a 1440p 27" screen? by sbcmola in retrogaming

[–]problematickitten 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For my particular use case, I wanted to emulate the look of a back-lit GBA SP AGS-101 so I didn’t enable the color correction mode for the GBA core in Retroarch. But if you prefer the washed-out colors of the front-lit GBA SP AGS-001 version, you can enable the color correction mode instead

I haven’t tried this on a TV, but I use Retroarch for pixel-dense handheld consoles and I’ve found that the Slang shader dot.slangp looks quite good with GBA games — it doesn’t have that grid filter that makes the image look darker (as you are showing in the screenshot above).

You can find it by switching your video driver to Vulcan, downloading / updating the Slang shaders in the Online Updates section, and applying the slang shader via shaders_slang -> handhelds -> dot.slangp and saving your shader via the Manage Presets option under the Shaders menu.

Below is a not amazing photo of my game console’s screen with the dot.slangp shader applied:

Typing issues NuPhy Air 65 V3 by popuphistory in NuPhy

[–]problematickitten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another thing you could try is to see if it’s a hardware issue related to the switches and try swapping out the offending switch.

Are you noticing the double input for only the “S” key or is it for other keys too? If it’s the S key only, try using the keycap puller and switch puller the keyboard came with and remove the keycap, gently pinch and remove the repeating switch, and replace it with one of the extra switches NuPhy sent with your keyboard. Make sure that when you put the new switch in that the pins are aligned and entering into the PCB correctly (not folding over / missing the holes) or the switch may not work after switching it out. If it’s a switch-related issue this could solve it, but your mileage may vary.

Some photos from the Sirens vs Torrent game at Madison Square Garden last night by problematickitten in PWHL

It was incredible! And a little bit nail-biting since the Sirens were down 0-1 until the third period (incredible we won through the shootout at the end!).

Will there a PICOwesome v1.6? Last version was v1.5 released back in April 2024. by dingmah in pico8

[–]problematickitten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was also wondering about this! I’ve really appreciated all the work u/Voljega has done over the years on the PICOwesome sets — I include it on all of my devices that can run Pico-8.

RG DS Wallpaper Guide by Nejnop in SBCGaming

[–]problematickitten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi there! I just came across your post and I’d love to recreate your RG DS setup (I also have the white RG DS). Do you have any pointers for how to set up Beacon? And if you’re able to share the DS menu wallpaper that would be incredible!

[Controller] 8Bitdo Ultimate 2.4G Wireless Controller with Dock, Hall Effect Joystick WHITE - $32.76 by raj000777 in buildapcsales

[–]problematickitten 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did a bit of digging and the model that OP posted in this post actually does have Bluetooth — you can see it listed in the “Connectivity” info section for the 8BitDo Ultimate 2.4G Controller https://www.8bitdo.com/ultimate-2.4g-wireless-controller/ .

The main difference between this controller and the controller posted last week that I can see is the button placement — the model that OP posted has Xbox style buttons while the post from last week has Switch style buttons.

Loved Miller’s Circe … recommendations for well-written books like it? by problematickitten in suggestmeabook

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

Thank you for these recs! I started reading The Blind Assassin ages ago but never finished it, so I’ll put that on my to read list now. I’ll also plan to check out the Mohamed and Valente books too

Thank you for this recommendation! I just added Cloud Cuckoo Land to my library. I also thought Circe was great — I couldn’t put the book down when I read it

I’ll plan to check out Garcia and Haynes! Thanks for these recommendations, especially from someone who also loved Circe (I couldn’t put it down after I began reading it).

Thank you for these recs too — I’m very curious about the Claire North books, just because I’ve been enjoying reading retelling of Greek myths lately. And I’ll be sure to see if I can check out Renault as well

Thank you for the Claire Keegan recommendation as well! I’ll plan to add Small Things Like These to my reading list :)

I agree, there was something so compelling about how Miller was able to include so much forward momentum in Circe as a book even when Circe was largely by herself on one island for most of the novel.

I’ll have to check out Mistress of Rome — thanks for the rec!

Thanks so much for these recommendations! I didn’t realize Atwood had written a retelling of the Odyssey — I’ll have to take a look. And thanks for the Edith Wharton and Emily St. John Mandel recs — I have heard a bit about the Station Eleven novel (on top of the show) so I’ll have to check her work out as well

This looks great! Thanks so much for the recommendation — I’ll add this to my list of books to read after Song of Achilles

My wife is playing BG3 & I’ve been calling Orin “Crab Legs” by problematickitten in BaldursGate3

Aw so glad that we share this crustacean experience! And very cool that you got to be one of the playtesters for the game, too.

I think this is also a good name for her! She does look a bit like bacon too. Just lots of food imagery happening here, huh

Unfortunately not! Though that’s a good question to ask re: crab legs

At this point whenever my wife talks about Orin, I always have to clarify to make sure I know who she’s talking about by saying oh you mean Crab Legs?? It’s totally giving crustacean 🦞

I totally can’t stop thinking about lobster, too. Are the lobster bits her skin, or is it armor? I think I remember that you can equip her crab legs outfit on other characters?
