Rakonat@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•The Steam controller was ahead of its timeEnglish11·7 days agoOn the steamdeck maybe, on the steam controller they are only r1/l1 buttons, I tried many times to change them and the software can’t different them
Rakonat@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•The Steam controller was ahead of its timeEnglish2·7 days agoI don’t think the idea was mature enough. Yes it did try to innovate and do new things but it also was trying very hard to be familiar to an audience that was never going to embrace change while not changing enough for a new audience to develop around it. I would compare it to the Dvorak keyboard, a device that offered only marginal improved efficiency and use while requiring the user to completely relearn from the ground up and have to fight muscle memory for those who used the popular medium it meant to replace. And in the end, most people said it wasn’t worth it.
I was initially intrigued by having buttons on the bottom of the controller, where your fingers naturally would be thus freeing your thumbs to stay on the pad/sticks. And imagine my frustration to realize those rear buttons are just extensions of triggers already on top. Huge missed opportunity imo that a redesign could have given dedicated buttons on the back of the controller to each finger and expand the possibilities for input combos a player can perform.
TL;DR I think the controller was a valiant effort to innovate but didn’t go far enough or do anything sell enough to stick.

Shrek 2 takes it further with Fiona actively choosing to let the magic wear off so her boy toy would turn back into an ogre rather than settle for a twunk rest of her life.
Rakonat@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Seems like the perfect day to ask: Muricans, what's your dream country to expatriate to? Non-Muricans, what's the thought on accepting US refugees?English102·11 days agoIt’s semantics but the difference between expat and immigrants is an expat intends to return to their home country some day, where an immigrant does not.
Rakonat@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Solar + Battery (covering 97% of demand) is now cheaper than coal and nuclearEnglish82·13 days agoTo tack onto that: https://ourworldindata.org/land-use-per-energy-source
When you account for land use in the entire life cycle from mining resources to disposal at end of life cycle, nuclear uses a quarter of the land of rooftop cadmium panels and a tenth of silicon panels.
Offshore wind is the only thing that gets close and even that has ecological and commercial concerns.
If you’re pro-stable and sustainable ecological systems, nuclear based power grid is a no brainer.

The only people I know intent on buying all the latest stuff are people into steamer culture, aka trying to be a streamer or interact with them and follow their trends.

Rakonat@lemmy.worldto Gaming@lemmy.zip•Nintendo faces legal action over ability to brick Switch 2s whenever they wantEnglish12·15 days agoWithout online functionality, the system might as well be bricked. I’m not 100% so someone can fact check but I’m reasonably certain it will refuse to let you play any software you’ve downloaded and only allow you use physical carts without the option to update them. When 90% of a console is built around online activity, being able to remotely disable that makes the console useless.

Rakonat@lemmy.worldto Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•We need to build more of the family sized apartments.English8·16 days agoWhile I like the concept, the idea that a family of 4 needs 4 bathrooms is ridiculous. Maybe a half bath with a sink and toilet, but the extra 2 showers could be used for more communal space. The long hallways on the exterior two bedrooms bother me, that’s a fair amount of space not being utilized for anything.
The only way this apartment layout makes sense to me is if ‘family’ is being described as 4 adults (or 4 couples) sharing a single apartment.
Well excuuuuuuuuse me, princess!
