I got a Logitech X52 flight stick and throttle from back when it was the only HOTAS worth a shit under $200.* The software that came with it makes me want to stab a puppy with broken glass.

*There are now 0 HOTAS worth a shit under $200.

That’s great! Can you figure out what percentage of annual earnings CA is contributing? The answer might surprise you!

A monthly commitment isn’t an annual commitment. I hope it’s like, “here’s 125k, and also 125k every year for the next decade.” But if it were, they’d say so.

I’m also on the fediverse @[email protected] – an inarguably better subdomain.

41M units sold at $15 a pop. Even if he only sees $2.50 of that, it’s still over $100M. If expecting a 1% contribution is “hard to please,” then yes I am.

I contribute 2% of my annual salary (after taxes) to the software I use personally, $360 of which goes to the continued development of Lemmy. The splits are uneven and depend, primarily, on how much I feel the project needs money. For example: I participated in Bonfire’s Indiegogo campaign, but I have only ever given Mastodon, like, $5 once.

Professionally, I make sure my company makes donations to the FOSS projects we use in production. It’s less than they deserve but more than I can afford out of pocket.

If you put all those contributions together, they wouldn’t sniff even $10k annually. But then again, my company and I don’t have nine figure revenues.

You?

Feels low.

Meta: It’s okay to sexualize 14 year olds.

With respect to the current GPU market, your goal should probably be a Steam Deck.

That, or get lucky at an estate sale.

they are trying to do some mouses with mandatory AI software bits.

But Logitech software is already terrible.

THEN GET READY FOR NITRO PLUS PRO: ENTERPRISE EDITION! YOU CAN NOW OVERRIDE YOUR USER’S NOTIFICATION PREFERENCES TO HIT THEM WITH OS LEVEL ALERTS ABOUT YOUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES.

“Let’s have the chatroom be the knowledgebase!” Fucking brilliant, no notes.

It’s the Nuclear Gandhi bug all over again. By dialing down their romance by absolute 40%, you’ve gone through the floor and interger overflowed to 255%.

There’s a decent chance M$ continues supporting Win10 after “End of Life,” just like [ checks notes ] every single “mandatory” update they’ve ever attempted.

Sometimes we need a break from the war crimes.

Towerfall is a massive hit at my annual holiday party. Specifically the Nintendo Switch version (with 6-player maps).

many many projects like it that drag on for 15 years or more.

[ cough ] Skywind.

Sorry, buddy, that game is called Tetris and it’s not even close.

The train in fallout 3 was just a guy with a train for a head running along a track

Yeah, I know. I was speaking in general terms.

An eternity ago, I got really good at manually strafe-hopping in Team Fortress Classic. I got banned from a few pubs for “scripting” anyway.

I don’t like banning users because of the devices they use or the technical knowledge they have. I feel like the onus should be on the development team to make hardware or software macros impossible or unnecessary. Like, maybe the switch from left to right has a random interval that would instantly nerf a script. Or maybe the apex of a player’s jump is also a little variable or random - or deeply tied to their momentum in a weird way.

Barely noticeable changes for natural players, kryptonite to script kiddies and Mad Katz Turbo Mode, but still accessible to people with disabilities who legitimately need macros or weird hardware because they only have 2 fingers or whatever.

Or massive layoffs.

Not Marvel but I’d pay for a Judge Dredd survival shooter. Maybe even an asymmetric 30 v 2.

But will I get rewarded for being deployed as a weapon so my teammate can score a point, a la Kevin Magnussen? I want Pitcoin incentives for intentionally leaving track limits to fuck with Lewis Hamilton, pinching Yuki into the walls, or straight up hit-jobbing Sergio Perez.

I’m Commander Shepard and Tantaly has the realest silicon-based fuckholes on the Citadel.

I miss my Moto X.

Tell me you don’t program without saying you don’t program.

Fuuuuuck the Athlon XP!

That Fallout 1 UI is a great example of how far we’ve come. It’s brutal.

I’m so upset that there’s no hi-hat emoji.

It’s possible to bring together a wide array of goals if you have enough horizontal resolution.

Why: Multiplayer with small children.

“It’s coming soon,” he says as he lays off a ton of staff and flees the country.

Fuuuuuck.

RimWorld.

This comment makes me feel old.

“… Everyone here on [the instances startrek.website federated with and communities I subscribe to on] Lemmy …”

This sort of generalization was already ignorant on Reddit, but it is doubly ignorant on the fediverse.

I installed Wabbajack and coughed up the $5 or whatever for Premium Nexus Mods access.

Turns out you can turn your old games into new games.
