The Venn diagram of people who know what these games are, and also are willing to play them on a mobile device is extremely niche.

I don’t know of any personally, but if someone was to develop it, the North Star should be Around imo.

It’s one of the best video conferencing apps I’ve ever used. I’ve used them all, even obscure ones you’ve probably never heard of. Miro Labs is unfortunately shutting Around down in a month though after acquiring it and folding whatever bits they wanted into their own software.

They made you use it if you ever had to talk to enterprise support for Amazon web services. It had similar vibes to WebEx conferencing. They have been dog fooding it internally for years, but Amazon doesn’t know UI/UX so this isn’t shocking to me.

There are two, the original open source version and its forks, and then the closed source version.

Could also be pirate space monkeys came and saved all the fish and then returned them after. It’s really fun to make up situations where the fish didn’t die in the story. We can even give Noah a staff and special powers as long they justify our view of the world.

It is far more sinister. They are trying to delegitimize them and then replace them with private corporations that they control. It is a long term plan.

Two of the key ultra conservative goals of P25 are to consolidate power of the executive branch and benefit corporate interests by rolling back regulatory oversight. They are doing a great job of their goal.

I agree, a gateway drug is what we are looking for. Imagine trying to learn how to run before you learned how to walk. We are asking a lot of the masses if we want to see user growth here without a simple and easy to understand starting place.

I think the hardest concept for beginners to grok is that they can’t login with one account to all instances. If we were to improve the UX around that experience solely, we would see greater adoption.

No one is saying they can’t be put behind bars. Try to name a billionaire that was arrested in the US that got arrested without a mountain of paperwork, slow judicial due diligence, and they eventually went to prison.

They are not above the law, but they can control it when they need to. Cops do not fear you or me, but they certainly fear the powerful, and money is often synonymous with power in the US.

Thanks, I have tried this and every single mod I could find online.

Nothing worked. I even tried to install steam and run the game through that, Winlator wasn’t very stable though, and would crash. I think I’ll just wait until it improves and hope the issue resolves itself.

Not sure if you are being serious or not. Police do not exist in society to protect the people, they exist to protect the rich.

Any police officer who attempted to arrest one of the richest people would immediately be hit with a lawsuit, likely lose their job within a couple days, and be shunned by the rest of their gang. Not to mention the situation could easily escalate given that most rich people have private guards who are equally armed to defend themselves in case of any Luigi’s.

Additionally police don’t tend to just go arrest high profile people without a lot of justification for doing so ahead of time, such as an arrest warrant, and lots of paper work.

If someone went to a police precinct and told them to arrest him, they’d probably first get a good laugh out of the people behind the desk, and then told to leave immediately.

I recently was gifted a Retroid 5 pocket. It’s been quite impressive so far. But I can’t for the life of me figure out how to get the controller working on Splinter Cell 1 via Winlator.

The game runs great, and looks so much better than the PS2 or Gamecube versions of the game. I own the GoG version, so I am not sure if this is an issue. But am wondering if anyone else has gotten the Retroid controls working with SC1 before.

I am running:

  • Winlator v9.0
  • Splinter Cell 1 (v1.3) from GoG

I can see my controller working just fine under the Game controller program, both for Dinput and Xinput. But for whatever reason every single controller fix I use with Splinter Cell triggers a Game fault protection error. If I try to setup a profile in Winlator to control the game, I can get some of the buttons to work, but the dpad and control sticks don’t appear to be able to move Sam or the camera.

I’ve seen some people mention Input Bridge or Antimicrox as a solution, but I’m hoping there is a low effort solution to this. If anyone has any recommendations for how to proceed I am all ears.

Thanks, and if this is better posted somewhere else just let me know

 

Mr. Bidet Spray or some shit like that.
