I’ve said this for years.

“Sex Reveal” has an entirely different connotation.

But just let kids tell you.

Give em a few years on their own to be exposed to how gender is expressed, then let them decide who they are.

Update: The error on that issue wasn’t the one I had, but the command was the one that ended in Neptune 611, so I did use it.

Ran the debug install again and no dice.

Rebooted and reinstalled, then back to gaming mode, and now it’s working. I knew from several mentions that it might take a couple reboots, so even though it felt weird to need to do it more than once, I still did, and it seems to have paid off.

Now I’ll still have to switch the dongle back and forth from my PC for now (until I get my hands on the new steam controller), but I can live with that.

Although as soon as I get it paired and working, I see a new steam os update, so I’ll probably need to do it all again anyway. But at least I can trust the process now.

Personally that’s what I’d like to do anyway. I’m saying that to discuss the growth of the technology among the masses.

Assuming it doesn’t make me violently ill, i like tech and gaming enough to keep it around otherwise. But the potential for the issue and the committal involved off the bat are difficulties for any new, different-enough tech.

Maybe so, but you probably need to enjoy your first exposure to want to drop money on an entire setup for it.

It’s already crazy enough to drop that money just hoping you like it, but if you drop it hoping it stops making you nauseous, that’s a much bigger ask.

I’m still hoping I won’t have that problem. I do get car sick on meandering drives, but not even close to as bad as I did 10-15 years ago, but the worse the drive gets, the more I have to stay staring out the car windows.

I assume the VR effect would be similar, given it’s a similar symptom, but backwards. (In VR you don’t feel motion, but you see it, whereas in a car, you feel it, but either don’t see it from not looking, or if you have wide visibility it looks like you’re not moving as much compared to the background)

Only red caps.

This has gotta be an AI photo.

There’s no way people go outside with 4 eyebrows. I mean, not people of the conservative variety since they think all presentations besides “typical white person” should be done away with.

I was a pretty big enjoyer of the design of the first Steam controller, so adding a second stick and keeping the touchpads sounds great. Also mine broke, I can’t remember exactly what gave out, but it was just destroyed, and using a touchpad for a second stick felt awkward af.

I didn’t even mind the way it bent “backwards”, the fact that the stick and buttons were tiny, or its weird shape. Actually thinking about it, it was the right trigger that broke and just caved in, Spring broke, plastic tab snapped off, just basically a hole left there. I wasn’t about to attempt a repair, either. I don’t have the skill for that.

Anyway, this looks nice. A lot of people seem to call it ugly, but I don’t get it. Sturdy and functional are a good look, so this looks great. And if it functions just as well as the Steam Deck controls, (and of course it will, since it’s basically the same parts except switching out magnetic sticks instead of regular ones)

Here’s hoping the triggers are better on it. It’s definitely on my radar for next year.

The problem is to really make an informed decision you have to try it first-hand. The sensory experience unlike any other device, so descriptions aren’t super helpful, video doesn’t convey what it’s actually like, so you really have to experience it to understand it.

Also given how common it seems to be anecdotally to get sick from it, no one wants to jump in just to have to jump back out.

And unless you know someone that already jumped in and can try theirs, a lot of people like me just don’t want to commit sight unseen. (I mean I’m also broke, but this would be true anyway)

I don’t have a way to try it out, so until I do it’s not on my radar to care. I’m very curious about it. Even if I don’t like it I do really want to see what it’s like at least once. But I’m not gonna pay for that chance. It’s gotta impress me without effort on my part (more than driving to it anyway).

I support actually doing this.

As in literally taking the money straight out of the billionaire funding pockets. But not in parity with the amounts used for AI funding, I just mean all of it. And not simply “all of it”, but actually all of it, to the point where they’re in soup kitchen lines and panhandling, hoping to get enough to pay for dinner.

Take all that money and put it in science research, charities, etc.

If they can’t get enough from the charities back to keep breathing, then oh well. Sorry people that deserve it got it instead, oh well, we’ll make a note that we’re all doing great on the money that was yours.

I didn’t see that. I stepped on my glasses last week and I was using the deck screen itself working on this. I’m using backups from like 15 years ago lol.

I’ll look at that tonight when I get a moment. Thanks

No it’s a series X controller. Other reply mentioned an issue I hadn’t noticed and I plan on looking at that tonight.

There it is. And it’s as bad as I thought.

I’m not even disagreeing mostly, I’m just saying that the use of “inconvenient” has gotten to an extremely hedonistic level.

Pretty soon if I have to blink 2 extra times a day for some reason that’ll be inconvenient.

No that’s when he falls asleep on camera and then goes up by standing awkwardly as people pass out next to him. xD

I swear I’ve seen people before him do it.

That’s just diluting the word. If doing literally anything different at all is considered “inconvenient”, then people are just fucking lazy af. Like an over the top amount of lazy.

If supporting a Nazi platform is considered easier to them than having even a raindrop of effort, then they’re probably not worth the oxygen they’re taking from someone else, tbh.

At least assuming they’re not autistic or some other disability. I can totally see it with certain conditions, but other than that it’s just shameful.

Is there a word for that gesture that he keeps making with his fist there? I feel like he thinks it’s a flex but just outs him as a dictator.

I can believe going through the account deletion is inconvenient.

But you cannot make me believe that just deleting the app is. Takes less than 5 seconds unless your shortcut is millions of homescreens deep.

I mean I got everything I use often on one screen, and everything I use occasionally is like 4 extra icons on the second. You cannot convince me that is inconvenient.

And even if you could, just ignoring it is even less inconvenient.

Then you have to decide how much effort it is to prevent their emails showing up. Either following them or going back and deleting the account are your choices. One is less convenient and more thorough. Decide between those.

I did it around the time he bought the place. I didn’t even know anything about his politics at the time, but I barely used it and that picture of him with the funk with that shit eating grin and the general sentiment of everybody’s else’s feelings on it just pissed me off. Once the election started I was happy to be far away.

It gets fuzzy because show means different things when you’re mixing pay and present speeds, as it’s a relative term. Everything was slow back them by today’s standards When I first started torrents I was on a 1.5Mb connection, which felt screaming fast at the time, but now it feels crippling because everything has board to take advantage of the extra speed for more ads and tracking data. Plus now videos mostly default to 1080p now, but back then 4:3 was the typical ratio on most computer monitors, and HD wasn’t even born yet. Widescreen was still a baby.

I had visited some of the video sites back then, but I was more preoccupied with school and online gaming to give it a whole lot of thought for what was mostly people tripping on stuff and machinima type stuff.

Ah, Mulder and Scully…
