Big fan of SBC gaming, open source engine recreations/source ports, gaming in general, alternative operating systems, and all things modding.

I am still using Lemmy but have been using it intermittently for about a year now. If you have questions or concerns about a community I am moderating please send me a message and I will try to get back to you as soon as possible.

  • Why would I be unable to right click using the touchpad when using EndeavourOS with XFCE4 on a NexDock?

    Jump

  • I tried running xev through the terminal and I can see the left click and touchpad movement but nothing when the right click is pressed and depressed.

    In the "Mouse and Touchpad" settings in XFCE there is a click method option that I think is supposed to allow you to click right click when using multiple fingers but kind of like what you mentioned but that doesn't seem to work either.

    I appreciate your response! I am tempted to reach out to NexDock about this but I don't know if they would have much to say considering it's not a hardware issue and no one else really seems to be talking about it.

    Edit: Considering I can have touchpad's "Tap touchpad to click" and "Click method" disabled under the touchpad option and still click things I am wondering if maybe it's use a weird combination of the touchpad for movement and the mouse actual clicking. This is the 2025 version of the NexDock.

  • Although they have a collar adding a necktie doesn't really dress up pajamas

    Jump

  • Are neckties and polo shirts a thing?

    I can only really picture a car sales person or Mac from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia wearing it

  • Gamers, how complicated is it to play games? (setup question)

    Jump

  • If you are really sold on the idea of consoles then don’t discount modding an older system like an Xbox 360 or PS3, once they are set up you can just pick a game and go.

    https://consolemods.org/wiki/Main_Page is a good starting point if OP is interested in going in that direction.

  • Are protestors in Iran aware of Briar? Would using Briar to communicate via bluetooth be a viable option with the country's current jamming technology?

    Jump

  • I believe it also requires you to have an individual as a contact to synchronize messages.

  • What's a good VR headset these days (and other VR hardware questions) ?

    Jump

  • Personally you need to decided what features are important to you. From my understanding anything connected to Meta requires logging into Facebook to use. For me that is a big no not to mention that I’m a linux user.

    That reminds me of Oculess. I've never really looked too much into it but I wonder how well it works.

    How can I configure Fresh Tomato to act as an access point so I can access Samba shares on the other side?

    EndeavourOS only booting from initramfs after update. Could use some help figuring out why

  • Bleem, the company that helped make emulation legal, is being resurrected and teases "the largest retro gaming project"

    Jump

  • It kind of sounds like they're just trying to be GOG but maybe with some non-PC games.

    I wonder if they're going to take a game, bundle it with an emulator, and make some kind of launchable shortcut.

    I can't really see them dealing out source-port like games

  • low end handhelds? looking for things around the 20-30 euro mark

    Jump

  • The Powkiddy V90 is pretty good if you want a GBA SP form factor.

    If they already have some kind of handheld it might easy to mod their device or get them a flashcart. Like the 3DS or DS for example.

  • Best option/device to portably emulate SNES ROMs on my smart TV?

    Jump

  • It may not be entirely what you are looking for but there are a lot of portable emulators out there like RG35XXSP for example that can do video out and allow you to pair multiple controllers.

    You can set a lot of them to boot directly into a game and some even have kid modes where they can't alter the settings.

  • What form of entertainment, movie, music, tv, video game etc that you were excited about only after it came out did you realize it was trash?

    Jump

  • Outer Worlds. Not really a spoiler but it felt linear as hell up until the very end

  • What form of entertainment, movie, music, tv, video game etc that you were excited about only after it came out did you realize it was trash?

    Jump

  • What went wrong with Far Cry 6? I've heard it's pretty mid and I haven't heard much about it since which leads me to assume it's not even memorably bad or good

  • What form of entertainment, movie, music, tv, video game etc that you were excited about only after it came out did you realize it was trash?

    Jump

  • I was holding out hope until recently that things would be improved with updates kind of like No Man's Sky or through DLC like what Phantom Liberty did for Cyberpunk 2077.

    I haven't read a lot of reviews because I like going into games blind but from what I've heard a lot of the issues really seem baked into the core of the game.

  • What makes good memes? What are facts about meme history you want to share ?

  • I think it has a bit to do with a lot of firmware or drivers being closed source too. I feel like a couple years ago I ran into that issue with camera my old Android phone had

  • What is your favorite hack?

    Jump

  • Maybe the blog that is hosted on a Nintendo Wii. It's not the most practical hack but I find console modding really neat and the "because I can" style projects are particularly fascinating to me.

    Some other favorite hacks are a bit more practical and have to do with extending the life of existing products. RebbleOS, for example, is an open source firmware that took off after Pebble shutdown following their acquisition by FitBit in 2016. It's allowed people to continue using their e-ink Pebble watches largely unchanged. They can still do things like fetch the weather and voice dictation.

  • What is your favorite hack?

    Jump

  • On a related note for anyone interested there are a lot of programs out there for using other peripherals such as webcams, Xbox 360 Kinects, PSVR cameras and headsets, and so on for VR on PC.

    iVRy Driver and Driver4VR are some pretty popular paid programs on Steam that assist with the setup process.

    /r/PSVRHack is neat if you are in that ecosystem.

  • If you play a multiplayer game, and lose, who is the author of your defeat?

    Jump

  • It depends if I feel the death is deserved and if I'm having fun.

    If I'm playing something like Battlefield and keep dying because of someone's skills with a plane I'm fine with that and it definitely feels like it's on me. If it's someone sliding around shipment in Call of Duty mobile killing me as soon as I spawn and I'm lucky if I end their kill streak I feel like that's on the game because of baked in mechanics being frustrating to counter.

    I would say it's definitely the most noticeable with games like Elden Ring. I suck so bad at them but I feel like I deserve each death and don't feel irritated by dying.

    It's only in situations where someone is hacking that I would actually blame another player.
