@mer honestly if I was building my own I’d see if I could just use switches instead of triggers and have it register as going to 100% pressed immediately; I’m not playing racing games or whatever anyway and in the ones I like the triggers are just pointless delays to whatever action is bound there :akko_wtf:

@mer I’m used to the xbox layout :akko_shrug: And I’m not sure if I want to get into DIY, it’s just that my current pad is starting to shit itself while I’m playing dark souls and I’m massively overthinking getting a replacement.

I could buy an used Thrustmaster eSwap for the price of a new Xbox controller; I usually prefer to buy new things and use them until they break (and if it’s used I don’t know how badly was it treated by the previous owner), but this one has replaceable parts, so if a stick breaks or something it’s not the end of the world.

Unfortunately, from what I read online it looks like it’s not supported on anything other than Windows; meanwhile Xbox controllers work fine on Linux and Mac.

It continues to amaze me that if you want something to work on a non-Windows platform then hardware made by Microsoft is usually a safer bet :cirno_for_reals:

@nyoom @Arcana @icedquinn I unironically think that the tolkien bot and the trump bot are better conversation partners than some of the people on this fedded verse, and I think the first one is just a markov chain :cirno_for_reals:

Is it worth reporting english-speaking nonces to mstdn.jp? I sent a report, but I think I’ll just yeet the domain for now.

Okay, the tutorials from here aren’t enough to understand how to compile to WASM: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/WebAssembly
and I don’t feel like reading all of that right now: https://webassembly.github.io/spec/core/ (that’s not even counting the extensions)
So whatever, I’ll leave WASM for now and try native compilation instead.

QBE seems a lot more understandable https://c9x.me/compile/doc/il.html
Though it’s a bummer that there aren’t any atomic and vector instructions (?)
It’s not like I need any of that right now, but it bugs me that if I start with QBE I’m going to hit a ceiling sooner or later.
Maybe it would be easy to move to LLVM later since it’s also SSA, or maybe even contribute some code to QBE myself? I don’t have anything to test the risc64 backend though.

I should probably start actually doing something instead of screwing around and poring over possibilities.

@mer @Ukko @40 @bl00d I admit I don’t have any experience, but I’m not sure why would anyone expect any sex differences in the first place? It doesn’t seem to work like that with nonhuman animals, unless I’m an unrefined pleb who can’t tell the difference.

@Ukko @mer @40 @bl00d Ah right I forgot that male farm animals are generally castrated.

@mer @Ukko @40 @bl00d Do you still have that infographic though? I swear I thought you posted it somewhere and that I saved it, but can’t find it now.

@mer @Ukko @40 @bl00d I’ll just leave this here.
