Dude… RTFA

Next time try reading the article first before you comment.

I need this for the nail salon. When is it hitting stores and for how much? (I didn’t see any mention of cost/availability in the article.)

“In terms of actual price of $70 or $80, for really great games, I think it will still be a steal in terms of the amount of entertainment that the top games, top quality games bring to people compared to other form of entertainment.”

I actually don’t entirely disagree, problem is that I’ve yet to play a game that was actually good enough to be worth $70-80.

Even the highest rated games of all time have flaws that every video game has. The tech simply isn’t advanced enough yet to justify the cost, not until we have games that are designed so well that you can do practically anything in them that you could do in real life. That means we have to move past things like invisible walls, awkward conversations with NPCs that don’t flow like a real conversation would, buildings that can’t be entered, short walls that can’t be climbed over, etc. (e: I’ve been around since the 3rd gen of consoles, and I can’t believe that we still don’t have the kind of games that I’ve been dreaming of since childhood.)

Furthermore, if your game has microtransactions, you can shut the fuck up. They generate so much income, that Free to Play is a sustainable business model. I am of the opinion that any game that has loot box mechanics, gambling, etc. should always be free.

Yeah I don’t understand the metaphor, either.

It has a better build quality than Logitech mice (which used to be the gold standard as far as I’m concerned), so yes I’d say that it’s good.

You can bind any key or mouse action to any button (including the joystick). The joystick is bound to WASD by default. You can also set up macros.

I believe that there is also support for per-game bindings, but I don’t use that feature so I’m not 100%. I can confirm for you when I get home from work in 5 hours, but I have ADHD so you’ll have to remind me.

I wish LibreOffice would do what OnlyOffice did and update their interface to something more modern. That, or I wish OnlyOffice would stop being so Russian.

You’re probably correct about the drivers, but the nice thing is that the keybindings and DPI settings are stored in the mouse, and thus are OS agnostic. So the software is basically set once and forget. Don’t even need to keep it installed after you’ve set the bindings you like.

And BTW the joystick can have 5 bindings on it because it also clicks in. Plus a 3rd button below the mouse (which I use as the DPI switch). So including the standard 5-button layout, you get a total of 11 mappable buttons.

I repurposed my POST status LEDs to show CPU temp after the PC has booted, but I like the graph idea. I’d use it to show data from GPU-Z.

Yeah seriously; unless you’re an audiophile who spends extra on quality headphones, your Bluetooth buds are probably using the SBC codec, which cuts off frequencies at 16kHz and thus is hardly better than listening to a 128Kbps MP3. (In Android you can see what codec your headphones are using by going into the developer options.)

And to be honest, if you care enough about sound quality to spend extra on the high res tier in your streaming service of choice, you’re probably using wired headphones. Audiophiles don’t fuck with Bluetooth.

I use this one. (Zelotes C-18)

Yes it’s Chinese, but it is a real gaming mouse. Decent build quality, and unlike other cheap Chinese mice, it tracks perfectly without skipping frames. I use it to play competitive shooters. The software it comes with is straightforward and easy to use for button mapping. You also get 5 DPI settings that can be manually set to anything you want.

My only complaint is that I wish the joystick was a D-Pad because it’s not analog. So it’s not really meant for one-handed gaming, but it’s useful for stuff like weapon switching, or other functions that would normally be assigned to the D-Pad if you were playing with a controller. Also it would be nice if the RGB lights were compatible with SignalRGB or OpenRGB, but very few Chinese products are so I simply turned off the lights in the included app.

I’ve been using it for over four years and if it ever breaks, I’ll just get another one. Best mouse I’ve ever owned.

Memes aside, this is why I use a vertical gaming mouse. Carpal tunnel is no longer an issue.

I feel like OP just wanted to brag that they’re rich enough to have access to brokerage accounts.

Well that does in fact sound like a memory leak issue to me.

Did you try another distro? How do your games run in Windows?

You can still stream it; just use a modded app like YouTube Music ReVanced to block ads and the artist’s record label won’t get a penny from you.

(Unless of course Google pays royalties by view count rather than ad revenue. Not entirely sure how that works. Just wanted to point out that YTM ReVanced is a thing)

I messed around with Linspire in the early 2000s after seeing a segment about it on The Screen Savers (on TechTV). It was about Microsoft suing them for originally calling the OS “Lindows”, so called because it was among the first OSes designed to attract people who are used to Windows.

I believe that it was among the first distros to induce the concept of app stores to Linux, and since I couldn’t figure out how tar.gz files worked at the time, it sounded like a good idea to me. Used it for about a year or three, before moving onto Ubuntu for many years then eventually Arch.

And now I’m back on Windows again because I bought an HDR display and learned the hard way that Linux has terrible support for it. Can’t get the HDR intensity slider to work properly in KDE, and there’s no SDR-to-HDR conversion at all in Linux, which means no AutoHDR and no RTX HDR. So in the meantime I’m dual booting Win11 and Arch, but I find myself using Windows more and more because it’s HDR support keeps getting better and better, especially if you have an nVidia GPU.

You don’t? It is by far the best search engine for porn in existence, especially Bing Video.
