Always good to let this kind of drama develop for a couple weeks before passing any judgement. Not to say I fully believe the publisher’s narrative either. But maybe it’s not the time for grandiose proclamations of a boycott yet.

Nope, that was 18 years before I was born.

Pick any of the mods from the sidebar, send them a DM.

I guess I was thinking about civilizations that practiced human sacrifice (e.g. in Mesoamerica) and generally civilizations where outsiders were not welcome (e.g. Edo-era Japan).

Assuming I could go back at some point, ancient Rome in its heyday would be a sight to see. I’d love to go sightseeing to almost any ancient civilization really. At least the ones where I wouldn’t immediately get killed.

They absolutely had music, which we know both by paintings showing people playing instruments and also the instruments themselves which survived as grave goods etc. We roughly know what these instruments sounded like but what we don’t have is any surviving melodies, as they didn’t use written musical notation. We really have very few melodies from before the middle ages, a short but IMO very nice melody with text from Ancient Greece, which was found on a tombstone and some religious hymns from bronze age mesopotamia which was found with notations on cuneiform tablets.

Good to hear. Tried running the update when the news about it came out, but it seemingly wasn’t available yet. Will try later today then.

They run on spite. Just doing something which the other side hates is enough to make them happy.

Does it not display the initial 1 for you? I noticed the post has some weird formatting, I think the lemmy UI thinks it’s a list item or something.

1929. Not particularly old by European standards, but one slightly unusual feature is that it still has its original roof.

I think it should be marked under the same conditions in which you would credit another artist on whose drawings your work is based on. Is it a close reproduction of an AI-generated piece? You should mark it as AI-assisted. Did you use AI-generated content as general inspiration to create your own unique artwork? No need to mark it in that case.

Freedom of speech is often confused with a right to say what you want on any platform, but it’s not the same. As long as you can host your own website, say whatever you want on it and have the website be accessible to other people, there is freedom of speech on the internet. That’s not the case in all countries, but in many it is. But getting banned on Twitter for writing “cisgender” or getting your post removed on Lemmy doesn’t really touch your free speech whatsoever.

Their settings are adjusted on a firmware bases by pressing different buttons together on the controller.

That’s also the case on newer 8bitdo controllers to be fair. You don’t have to use the software often but when you do, it’s indeed a pain.

Yes, proprietary software on Windows or Android. It gets even more “fun” though, as you need to use different software for different controllers. The “8bitdo Firmware updater” works for controller like the Pro 2, but if for example you have the Ultimate 2 you need the “8Bitdo Ultimate Software 2” instead. That thing will also crash if you have any other 8bitdo device plugged in. So yeah.

Should be the ability to freely remap their controls using the Steam Input interface. They’ve always worked on Deck as regular XInput devices.

The 8bitdo Ultimate 2 is pretty close to an XBox controller and it has a gyro. The problem is that while the gyro works great on Switch, it’s severely limited on PC, as it can only emulate the right stick with very few settings. The Steam Input update could potentially fix that, but I haven’t tested it yet.

I have 3 of their controllers. All excellent hardware-wise but a bit shit when it comes to their software. Don’t think you’ll even be able to do this firmware update on Linux. Curious to see how well the Steam Input support works in any case, especially whether it includes gyro.

I don’t think so. They’ve stated that it’s not worth it for them to maintain two separate versions of firefox on iOS, with one only being available in the EU.

Monster Hunter. Probably tried like 4 of those games since Tri and people keep recommending them to me, saying the newest one will surely be the one to convince me. But I found them all to be a boring grind.
