Sounds good. The main time I've found myself using the Rise4 paddles is for Minecraft. I'm already using both bumpers and both triggers for quick hotbar management, so I've got no way to jump or sneak while aiming. So I have L4 = Cross = Sneak, and R4 = Circle = Jump, and that covers all axes of motion.

I guess the difference is just convenience, in that case. With "real" paddles, I could program them in Steam Input and they'd remember their setting per-game, instead of me having to fiddle around with the remap buttons each time I want to enable/disable the paddles. But yeah, since it's just a convenience, I'll wait for a better price. Thanks for the sanity check.

Sounds about like what I'm thinking, yeah. I've seen it in "like new" condition on ebay for $150. Is that closer to what its worth?

Alternately, I have a modded DS5 with Rise4 remap kit, which basically adds paddles that clone the face buttons. No macros, just one-to-one. Would that match your PS5 usage, or do you use the paddles for something unique?

I use my deck with the living room television, yes. Have you used the Dualsense Edge? Or the original Dualsense?

This is like asking "isn't wikipedia full of false information?"

And, yes! There are lots of mistakes in wikipedia. But when they're found, they can be fixed. That's the same deal with open source software.

Go look up the existing arguments against AI, and write your rebuttal to those, and then debate people about it. More productive for everyone involved.

Japan has a word which I forget, but it means "Furry Bad End", which refers to any "Happy" ending where a cool animal character turns back into a boring human; e.g. Beauty and the Beast.

Sounds similar to echolalia, which I believe is a common autism symptom. A person with echolalia may have difficulty forming complete sentences, and will prefer "recycling" sentences they have heard before.

I wouldn't call it "lazy" if its legitimately a mental disorder. Laziness implies a lot more agency and choice.

That being said, I've found many autistic people are open to communication lessons if offered with kindness. Its just that teaching takes time.

I have no absolute knowledge, but I have lots of probabalistic knowledge. I update my priors in response to new evidence, therefore I probably am.

I don't believe the world is getting worse. I believe our knowledge of the world's ills is getting better.

Omori opens with an intense depiction of self-cutting and I noped out right there.

It gets much darker, I'm told. Glad it made the point early; I would not have enjoyed it.

Short version: probably not. Most emulators don't support networked multiplayer.

If the game natively supports LAN play on PC, like Minecraft or Among Us, then yes, it's possible to connect a Steam Deck to other machines via shared wifi or an ad-hoc network.

However, if the game was designed for a custom multiplayer protocol, like a GBA or 3DS game, then you're out of luck. There are rare exceptions; some games are so popular that they have mods for network play, such as Project M for Super Smash Bros Brawl. But outside of those rare exceptions you cannot play emulated multiplayer over a network.
