It’s not that the icons are tiny, rather people driving usually operate by touch because their eyes need to be on the road.

That’s a very cromulent thing to say.

It’s a tough and punishing game where 100 hours of grind means MAYBE the latest boss won’t KO you in a single hit.

It has 18 different weapons that each require a 20 minute tutorial from some guy on YouTube, and each requiring 20 hours to master. It’s a “the wand chooses the wizard Harry” and everyone is going to have their own favorite weapon. I myself ended up being a Charge Blade user, which is the most technical weapon in the game. Using it is like performing a Japanese Tea Ceremony whilst battling a 15 foot long alligator in a small room.

Melee weapons need sharpening mid battle, range weapons need ammo you have to craft before entering battle else you are SOL. Your stamina requires that you eat a large steak every 5 minutes or you will be constantly exhausted.

There is no twitch. Every action needs to be deliberate. A monster takes minutes of constant fire to stun or paralyze, during which time someone with a large weapon administers the tea he has been brewing. It’s called a Super Amped Elemental Discharge.

Loot is random but the part you want can only spawn when you damage the proper parts with the proper weapon.

So what makes me like this game? This kinda gameplay loop means Losing is par for the course. No “git gud” or “skills issue” kids are ever going to play this game. A skilled healer/buffer is treated as a god among men, unlike Overwatch where it’s your fault the team that spread itself all over the map got wiped out.

Tldr. Playing 100 hours of monster hunter filters the player base down to a group of Zen Monk Masochists that enjoy 2 things.

1. Spending 40 minutes taking down a 4 winged dragon that farts lightning every 10 seconds.

2. Each other’s company.

I hope this makes sense.

For earnest reasons? 8bitdo does firmware updates to improve stability and latency, and fix features broken when Xbox, or Nintendo update something on their consoles. All using a stand alone app that just phones home and downloads the latest firmware payload for ALL its controllers without any login.

EDIT: You don’t even need the app. 8bitdo’s website has all their firmwares available to download and install as and when you need. The app is so dyslexic fools like me don’t accidentally brick something with the wrong payload.

Microsoft however, may push some bullshit does nothing update simply to make you sign into their app.

Now I feel old

Ah. That is good to know.

The way that Auntie feeds ever larger victory parties is an insanely awesome gag.

Used to be that 5 out of 6 on the team could be dead but the 6th was a Mercy with her ult charged. She swoops in and pulls off a hail Mary 5 man resurrection that totally wrecks the opposing team.

Or Lucio was able to speed rush an entire team onto point with a well times speed buff.

Those kinds of whacky plays kept even the most skilled players on their toes.

They patched all that out of the game in the first year or two.

The moral is play with the smallest hitbox, and team up with a squad of teammates larger than you.

Afro ftw! Huge landscape panoramas would be best.

After several anime involving medical professionals getting isekai’d, this is a welcome breath of fresh air.

How are they dealing with the “cold weather kills the batteries” problem? I’m genuinely curious.

Making your own soup is the epitome of good eats. 1 hour on a stove, blend, and keep in the fridge for up to a week.

Figuring out the ingredients can be a pain, but once you figure that out, you will never touch a can of soup save for certain outdoors wilderness situations.

I think you spelled Denuvo wrongly there…

Isn’t there a danger of someone shorting data to voltage by inserting this thing wrongly?

To each their own I guess. Must have reached puberty during the original Tomb Raider period.

The Apple Way.

Bottleneck simply means that some of your components are running at their FULL POTENTIAL! ALL THE TIME!

Oh man, after reading your comment I now have begun reading about the GP2040ce project. I got an empty wooden shell off AliExpress and have been wondering what to do with it for the longest time. They sell sanwa parts along with these generic Chinese encoders that I don’t care to bet on. This pico project looks like just the thing I wanna build
