  • Are gonna really a leftist thing? That doesn’t sound right to me.

    I’ve enjoyed the few times I’ve been at a range, but I don’t ever plan to own any.

    And I also enjoy a few FPS games, but I wouldn’t say I enjoy guns. Not enough to fit in the common part with conservatives. They fucking jizz their pants if they hear the word “Glock” or “Remington”.

    I don’t have a clue what company made the guns I’ve shot.




  • I had “Country Cornflower”.

    I also saw a bunch of #4 somewhere. It was either at one set of grandparents’, or one of my friends’ houses.

    Mom actually still has the pictured kind, still being used to this day. I was there just last week and there was some of it still drying in the dishwasher. I stole a few plates and bowls when I left, and it’s still the only glassware I’ve ever really used more than a couple times. I’m not particularly find of it, but I have these pieces and I don’t give a fuck what it looks like if it works.

    At least it doesn’t have Jesus on it or something. I would draw the line at that.



  • I mean, based on my observations, I think the only people organizing these at all are straight white cisheteronormative types (and further, almost always women).

    Maybe that’s just how I’ve seen it, but I’ve never witnessed them, I usually only hear about them at all if a video pops up of a compilation of bad reactions or mistakes (as in wrong color reveal, accidental early reveal) pops up. Maybe that’s just me but I haven’t personally seen much of any other group doing them in the first place. Occasionally there are others, but almost always done by them.


  • For one, as far as I know that’s a single player game. Anyone with other players around means constant slight readjustments, and having everything you do held back (even if only a tenth of a second- I don’t know the actual number, that’s a ballpark guesstimate) really adds up.

    For almost every game it doesn’t matter a whole lot. But when it does, it really matters. Bluetooth headphones pad the audio a smidge too, to the point of rather play without sound instead of late audio. It causes constant sending guessing, and if you’re using both your leaky playing in a game state that’s already past (although when online you always are anyway but cutting as much out as possible is miles better).



  • I realize that. But that’s just for that machine, but I’m speaking for arbitrary devices.

    The protocol hasn’t gotten faster in the last few years that I know of.

    I’ve used several with different devices, but most of my direct comparison experience is with an Xbox series X controller paired to the Deck via BT and by dongle, and it’s very noticeably more laggy with Bluetooth. I’ve only occasionally tried others, but every Bluetooth-connected controller I’ve ever used definitely has a noticeable delay.


  • No one says that you have to explicitly plug it in to whatever you’re playing on.

    You do if you want it to connect to the thing you’re playing on.

    Unless you’re ok with a shitty Bluetooth connection. But I’m guessing few people comparatively are using that, at least as their primary use case.

    You can’t tell me playing with a Bluetooth controller doesn’t actually hurt you. The constant latency is excruciating.

    Then again, I use it for mostly real time- based games.

    If you’re playing something like Balatro it probably doesn’t matter. But for almost everything else it sure does.




  • Update: The error on that issue wasn’t the one I had, but the command was the one that ended in Neptune 611, so I did use it.

    Ran the debug install again and no dice.

    Rebooted and reinstalled, then back to gaming mode, and now it’s working. I knew from several mentions that it might take a couple reboots, so even though it felt weird to need to do it more than once, I still did, and it seems to have paid off.

    Now I’ll still have to switch the dongle back and forth from my PC for now (until I get my hands on the new steam controller), but I can live with that.

    Although as soon as I get it paired and working, I see a new steam os update, so I’ll probably need to do it all again anyway. But at least I can trust the process now.
