64·5 months agoI had a cat that used to push things off the coffee table. Anything that rolled, like pens or batteries, would eventually find their way under the couch… to the point where I would look there first if I couldn’t find something.
I remember once stacking spare coins into a pile on the table. He sat there, patiently watching me do it and looked me directly in the eye while his paw pushed them onto the floor again.
It was that moment that made me question his motives. Did he enjoy it the way that a toddler enjoys peek-a-boo? Was it about watching things fall or was the fun in knowing that I would have to clean it up again?
The way he looked at my face while he did made it seem like he enjoyed pissing me off more than anything.
I’ve had a lot of success with Toshy a per application keymapper which runs in the background and does all the heavy lifting automatically.
12·7 months agoI suspect KDE because most PC gamers are Windows users and KDE is closer to that while Gnome is closer to macOS (both in design and being restrictive).
For what it’s worth, when I moved from macOS to Linux I found that KDE Plasma customisation made it less frustrating to get the appearance and multitouch gestures closer to what I was missing on a Mac.
4·8 months agoDefinitely recommend customising plasma per the above advice.
I’ve done the same thing with my steam deck (with White Sur theme) and it’s flexible enough to get fairly close.
Until recently I ran a similar setup with latte-dock on my work laptop and but it’s not worth the hassle - it’s buggy and unmaintained, so I swapped back to icon only task manager.
I’d be interested to know if you use any bindings/plugins for Renoise with steamdeck controls.
I use a headless M8 and run https://derkyjadex.github.io/M8WebDisplay/ in Edge (with launch options for game mode). But I didn’t really put in the effort to try and make Renoise work without a keyboard/mouse.
An Interstate 76 sequel/remake with modern graphics, physics, controls, etc.
The vehicle combat in Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 gave me a bit of a glimpse of that.
I use Toshy https://github.com/RedBearAK/toshy
There’s some small issues with the alt key behaviour in some applications (and workarounds for that), but other than that it works really well for my OS X configured brain.
I have Tyrian 2000 on GOG as well and was feeling nostalgic. I could replicate the issues and here’s what I did to fix it.
- Installed the game with Heroic and added it (automatically) to Steam.
- Applied a community control layout named “Tyrian” to fix the mapping issue.
- Launched the game from Steam and used the onscreen keyboard to press 3 to go to “Game DOS settings”. I had to run it twice before the controls worked for some reason. Change the music device to “FM Sound” (I think the default was “Midi 330h”) and saved.
- Returned to the launch menu and pressed 1 to launch Tyrian 2000.
I usually like running DOS games in EmuDeck/Retroarch though.
First game was Safari Race on a Sega SC-3000. After that mainly played PC games when they were a thing and had a 1st gen Gameboy.
I gave up on games and tried to adult through my 20s… but after a bad breakup I bought an Xbox-360 and Skyrim and it’s been a hobby ever since.
I’ve used the Spoiler Protection 2.0 extension in the past, though it hasn’t been updated in a long time so there may be a better option.
It doesn’t block content but places a big red overlay over links, headlines, images (that are tagged) and videos. It’s not fool proof but definitely useful if you want to block “Trump” or “Musk” or whatever else.
