checking out random stuff I see on Rate Your Music or going to shows at small local venues.

I’ve worked at Dominos and I like it alright, my family seems to prefer it, but I’ve always like Pizza Hut significantly more. I live in an area known for pizza though so when I actually get pizza I usually just get it from the mom and pop place literally across the street from me, it’s way better than both and cheaper too. Not a lot of topping options but I was always a pepperoni pizza girl anyways.

wow this will legitimately improve my life daily, thanks for sharing

a picture of me with my siblings at the grand canyon for when they came to visit me when I was working there. Oct 15 2010

its grow enough that reddits shitty app annoy me a week ago and I haven’t looked back

i mean maybe the new drivers used maps, but even in the days of GPS I didn’t use any kind of map after the first 6 or so months of delivering, faster to not look it up when the address already tells you everything you need to know when you know the area.

i hate Google but I still use YouTube way too much

Be yourself, even if it means the people in your life currently will hate you. You’ll find people who love the real you and you’ll be much happier even if it ends up making your life harder.

(this doesn’t apply if your real self is a dick, work on that)

I spent my 20s pretending to be the person the people in my life wanted me to be and it was miserable, I’m unapologetically myself in my 30s even if I’m still figuring out who that is. Its so much better and I wish I did it a decade ago.

My Xbox Series Controller, my Dualshock 4, my Dualsense, my Steam Controller, my Switch Pro Controller, My 8bitdo Ultimate Xbox controller, basically whatever is within reach, they’re all fine but I like the 8bitdo best.

Just use whatever you already have. If you don’t have anything I’d say go for the 8bitdo or the Xbox Series controller. They’re both excellent. The Switch pro has the buttons backwards, the PlayStation controllers don’t have the best build quality (I’ve gone through multiple of each even though I treat controllers kindly), and the Steam Controller is a little weird and not sold new anymore. So Xbox Series if you want to save money, 8bitdo Ultimate if you just want the best.

that’s a lot of good information, thank you

i think I’m gonna have to, now to pray the person who gifted it to me remembers the login for the steam account they made to buy it.

My laptop isn’t charging anymore so installing a different OS isn’t possible, fuck me right? when it rains it pours. I’ll contact support in the morning.

I’d love to try that but I’m also dealing with a separate issue where my laptop is refusing to charge so it’s dead and unusable. the deck is my only computer with power right now.

i have a second one and I tried setting that up and unfortunately the problem happens with both of them.

I also tried a wired connection after that and it does the same thing just “connecting to Wired connection 1” and then “failed to connect”

thanks for the ideas though

I’ve been using controllers on PC since the Sidewinder days, I’m glad to see support for most controllers be basically perfect on Linux and pretty decent on Windows. MacOS still has a way to go with anything that isn’t made by Sony, but it’s not exactly a gaming platform.

On PC popular options are Steam Remote Play and Moonlight.

for Xbox it’s built into the Xbox app, Greenlight is a good alternative on PC

for PS4/5 there’s the PS Remote Play app, but a lot of people prefer the PSPlay app on Android and Chiaki on PC for their improved functionality.

As for getting it on the TV any simple USBC->HDMI adapter will work.

Thinking about it now, it’s been a long time since I saw a Goldvision video. I loved that guy and his calming contemplative gameplay, I was even on board when he decided to just never kill anyone or any npc in a video game ever again (but still play stuff like multiplayer shooters and GTA Online).

I miss his stuff, gonna go see if I’ve been missing out

Didn’t ever watch his videos but ran into him at a local event where a game dev had invited 60 or so of us to play their game early. I remember him watching over my shoulder (there were only enough PCs for half of us to play at a time) as I went to play the game in my favorite way to play games: incorrectly. Flew a transport vtol and was using it to “boop” enemy vtol fighters half my size into the ground where they’d explode. We would both get a kick out of it every time I managed to pull it off. He was a fun guy to be around, I get why so many miss him.

I thought it was silly stupid fun when i was a teen

In my 20s i thought it was genius

In my 30s I think its “both sides are stupid” approach to everything is annoying and an immature stance in a world where one side is shit and one side is super mega ultra shit.

remind me in 7 years to tell you about totally different way i feel about it in my 40s.

I’d be in the same situation if I wasn’t too broke for any of that
