  • I agree that it’s not the most worthwhile use of the buttons and you are right about using the triggers. For now I’ve just mapped the back buttons to mirror the shoulder buttons and it’s working well. I also agree that all of the shortcuts I asked about are already present with long presses, I just am not a fan overall of buttons having more than one action associated just in general not even specifically about video gaming input.

    To me it’s one of those things where if I was playing the game on my desktop I would bind small things like that to macro keys just for convenience.

    I’ll be honest I didn’t even notice the prompts for start/select were backwards. Today I learned LOL


  • Tried both. Configuring in-game, the game had zero clue the buttons seemed to exist. Which makes since it’s an emulated gamepad.

    I did try assigning via the controller settings key inputs I could then bind but using any non controller type input would flip the game into thinking it was mouse + keyboard. I’ve ran into this behavior a few times on the deck when adjusting the volume so this may end up being something that gets smoothed out. The game isn’t technically released yet so I don’t expect everything to be 100% smooth out of the gate.


  • While I think the concept of BitTorrent to handle distributed storage is a good line of thinking, I have a feeling keeping seeders alive.

    I kind of wish for Pied Piper from Silicon Valley. Distributed sharding with p2p distribution. I can only speak for myself, but my phone has more storage than I would ever need, and T-Mobile 5G is unlimited, just cache the video content as and my phone can serve chunks as a temp seeder until I need that space for new content. With enough people contributing the space needed per person could be negligible. Extending to a federated backend protocol, selfhosters to large organization could contribute block storage as things scale. BBC just started exploring Mastodon. If there was a viable video platform for BBC, their resources would help establish large collective pools of data.

    Just keep it a completely open source standard, very strong encryption/compression and wide duplicated sharding across devices. I absolutely hate blockchain hype, but an actual use case would be a blockchain index of where each chunk of information resides.

    All of that totally hypothetical, that’s just my “throw shit at the wall” idea for a federated solution. Initial adoption would probably never succeed. Just like in the show, things are getting to incredibly complex solutions once federated networks come into play, explaining it to not computer oriented people would be neigh impossible.



  • So I looked up Ratioed since I can’t keep up with the GenZ slang. It means along the lines of a reply getting more likes/comments/responses than the original post which translate to “your post is bad and you should feel bad”.

    So it seems like this person’s plan is to now have your username tagged so every time they see it they can call you stupid or some other shit and others will then flock to also call you stupid. Congrats, you were just ratioed. To me it just sounds like harassment in this case.

    Seems like a bunch of petty bullshit for an online discussion board.
