Yep, double shitty. Makes me want to start sailing. πŸ΄β€β˜ οΈ

Best buy was the culprit.... I feel like I've generally had good luck with open box stuff otherwise though.

You know, previous to the current generation of consoles, I thought FOR SURE that back-paddles/buttons would become the next standardized iteration. Controller innovation over the last TWO generations I'd argue, has been really lacking in my opinion.

Patience, I guess. I've been waiting for literal fucking years at this point. A few more won't hurt I suppose.

The Ara definitely seemed like a good thing, for repairability. I'm of the 'fuck anything google' mindset though.

The 'framework' laptop also comes to mind.

Looks like KK3 Max got pushed back a bit, or it just released for preorder from the 5th. Goddamn preorders. NO. I'll wait for the reviews, thanks.

New developments:

So, I actually did order a open box elite series 2 controller but ended up having to exchange it because there was substantial stick drift on both sticks. Super frustrating that this wasn't caught, or the sellers don't care enough about the quality control...

The "core" version is a little cheaper, but nobody has the paddles, which is pretty much the main reason I want one of these controllers...

There is sadly not many competitors available right now either. The Razer model is 250$!? WAY more than I want to spend...

The Guilikit one looks promising, but still have another couple of weeks before it actually releases and then would have to wait on shipping from China, which I hate.

You would think that in 2024 there would be more viable alternatives for professional level no-compromise controllers with good quality for an affordable price.

Rant over.

Nice!

The prohibitive price of the xbox elite controllers is definitely a big detractor. They have the 'core' model now, for 130 apparently, but doesn't even include back paddles

I'm curious about what they run used though

SANABI

This game absolutely blew me away.

[–] rustyriffs 1 points 10 months ago

One of my favorites for sure. I hope they make another action RPG without roguelike elements.

[–] rustyriffs 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Been a while since I binged some audioslave... Too long. That needs to change soon.

It would be cool to see a video breakdown of how this design is supposed to work. How anyone could hit anything like that seems impossible. Lol

SANABI (lemmy.world)
 

I just finished my first playthrough of this game, SANABI, and I just wanted to share it here. I'm a little biased, but I think it's one of the most incredible games I've ever played. I pretty much played it obsessively until I beat it (~2 days and 11.2 hours total).

If you're even remotely into 2D platformers, don't sleep on this one. I hope to see this developer continue to put out amazing experiences like this in the future.

I have a Razer wolverine V2 that I like quite a lot. But it's not perfect though... I'm wondering what everyone else likes to use.

Hi, lets talk about 2in1 laptops and tablets. Which ones are the best for running linux on them, which ones are your favorites right now, what do you like using them for, etc. I find myself really missing having a 2in1 sometimes, especially for the portability aspects of them.

Update:

I have been thinking about what my usecases for it will be and I'm definitely leaning more towards a tablet for it's better portability. I think the StarLite will be the biggest contender so far.

Some of the main things I would like to be using it for will be:

-navigation in my vehicle

-videos

-music

-browsing/online research

-weather station

 

Hi, I'm fairly new to the fediverse. Is there any alternatives for Facebook marketplace out there?

Hi, I am often in unfamiliar locations because of what I do for work and I'm having trouble finding ways to search for businesses that are close by. I'm kind of embarrassed to say that I've let myself become pretty dependent, over many years of phone use now, to just use google maps to search for pretty much everything... I'm no longer happy with this method, and I'd like to eliminate my dependency on them.

What are some of your favorite ways to research new locations you're unfamiliar with? I'm willing to go as far as seeking out phone books if I have to. (I remember the days before the internet, let me tell you...)

Also, I have both organic street maps as well as osmand installed and while I really like using organic street maps it (as well as osmand) is quite lacking in this certain respect.

app vetting (self.FOSSdroid)
 

I just wanted to ask how you guys are vetting the apps that you download. As someone who's fairly new to going the open source way, I typically like to see what reviews say but it seems like there's not a really straightforward/easy way of doing that with open source because most of the repositories don't have any of that kind of information on them.

xp11r (self.flashlight)
submitted 1 year ago by rustyriffs to c/flashlight
 

So I have this flashlight. I like a lot of things about it, but my main nitpick is the modes. They go from medium to high to low, and you have to go through them every time you turn on the light. Ideally, there could be multiple modes, if it just had a memory setting, and then this wouldn't be an issue anymore.

I'd just like to know what recommendations you guys might have for a good handheld, but which has more practical and functional UI. Other flashlights I've had in the past only had an on/off function when pressing the button, and maybe the flood mode if you hold it.

Also, USB-C and rechargeable are requirements as well.

soft light lantern (self.flashlight)

I would like to know what some of your favorite lanterns are. I am really wanting one for more of a night light type of setup, in my camper. It needs to be USB-C rechargeable as well.

sandblaster? (self.3dprinting)
submitted 1 year ago by rustyriffs to c/3dprinting
 

I'm curious if anyone uses sandblasting for cleaning up their prints. If not, what's your favorite way to clean them up?

 

I'm using Fusion360, and trying to make changes to .stl files.

I would like to know what your preferred way to make changes to print files is. For instance, I was trying to combine a clamp and a cup holder and dealing with the resulting mesh files is pretty frustrating.

If there's any guides or videos on how this is generally done, that would be helpful as well.
