Yep. I’ll keep my Dualsense, thank you very much. The trackpad is invaluable for things like weapon selection, and having the gyro default to on means I don’t have to take my hands off the face buttons to aim. Also, flick stick rules.

PC

There’s your problem. They’ve been pretty well known in the console marketplace for a long time, and have peripherals dating back to the Super Nintendo.

It’s pretty much a standard feature at this point. Unless you’re an Xbox player.

Apparently the Horipad’s gonna be that. I think I’ll stick with the Dualsense.

What is there to think about? I complain about people who support Soviet-style dictatorships having full control over online platforms moderating exactly as one would expect, and I get told by Random Guy On The Internet #368,452 that I’m apparently a hypocrite because wanting action to be taken to stop authoritarians from controlling social networks makes me the real authoritarian or something. All this to “suit my agenda”, which in this case is wanting to be able to say that authoritarians are bad.

God forbid I find arguments like that incoherent and unworthy of taking seriously.

I’m so bored of that line. At least come up with something different.

I know, right? It’s like he’s an incredibly shitty sci-fi villain.

Good. Lemmy communities need to be as instance-agnostic as possible.

Good. Is development of Lemmy still controlled by tankies?

Yep. Something needs to change if we want Lemmy to be something besides a place for Soviet simps to hide from criticism. Authoritarianism cannot be tolerated.

I’ve been spending my time both here and on Reddit recently, and I’ve honestly been enjoying it more here. Though I mostly lurk.

I think “intelligence” is definable as “computation that we don’t understand yet”.

*Valve

Technically, HL1 was Valve arriving late to a trend. (FPSes)

Team Fortress Alpha: Mercenaries’ Dreams

Nice.

Most of my exposure to HD2 before picking it up was either streamers playing it or people complaining they couldn’t play it because the servers were well over capacity.

The existence of /r/Jailbait, /r/GreatApes, and /r/[N-slur] testify to this.

Is it possible to chroot from a livedisk and reinstall systemd from that? I’d imagine the Internet connection would work just fine.

Linux let’s you f’up your OS but it also let’s you fix it, it’s just a skill issue.

Yeah, there’s something about Linux that makes me feel like if something breaks in it, the only reason I can’t fix it personally is because I lack the skills to fix the problem. Just feels nice, really.
