I have an 8bitdo zero 2 that I’ve had for a few years.

I kept it on my key chain for a long time. It would be in my pocket for 8 hour workdays in which I worked outside and got wet. It still works despite having been through all that.

I used to stick my phone to a magnetic mount in my car sometimes and used the controller to play emulated games. Nowadays I use a retro handheld or a steam deck.

I recommend 8bitdo very highly in general. Most of their controller feel really solid and completely nail the retro aesthetic they are copying.

The zero 2 isn’t like that though. It feels cheap and light, but it has held up well.

I don’t give a shit. Push a real candidate.

No but mine does this too.

I have a thing with 6 hooks on it that attaches to the top of my bedroom door. That’s where I put clothes I’ve worn already that I intend to wear again before I wash them. Also my coat and hat.

The early days of Asheron’s Call. One of the earliest MMORPGs with a 3d game world. It was cool being in a giant world with thousands of other people who were all trying to figure out the game and explore the world. There were monthly updates that were adding all kinds of new stuff all the time. I don’t really care for MMOs any more but it was a cool experience at the time.

It’s really easy to try out most linux distributions by running them live from a USB drive. You’ll need to be able to tell your computer to boot from the drive by entering your BIOS setup.

Once you’ve done that you’ve probably done the most technical thing you’ll have to do to try linux. If you have a separate SSD to install linux on you’ll have a pretty easy time actually installing linux. If not you’ll have to learn to partition your drive which can feel a little scary.

I think if you are playing a lot of different games it’s likely you will find some that won’t run on linux so you’ll likely still need to run some form of windows for some games. I’d hope to see that change in the future but I’m not holding my breath. I personally still do most of my gaming on windows because some of my favorite games don’t run on linux but it really depends on your preferences.

pretty sure the buttons are “keyed” in a way that doesn’t let you put them in the wrong slot. It’s been that way for controllers I took apart.

I work at a golf course and I’d rather be doing something meaningful like building homes so this post speaks to me directly.

Unfortunately the big thing lately is we’ve been dropping a bunch of trees.

The secret service would kill you if it was Trump. I don’t think it’s a worthwhile trade, the old guy’s going to die soon anyways. His life is not worth more than yours.

Plus violence is what they want so they can really start telling the military to do things.

I agree with the sentiment though. I think they both deserve to be executed.

Trump should have been executed for treason in 2021.

I mean anything made of real materials that aren’t plastics and fiberboard is luxurious to me. So yes I would consider a floor or a countertop made of actual stone luxurious.

I have been keeping up with my dishes lately more than I ever have in my life. It came about in kind of a weird way for me. My dishwasher broke and I suddenly had to hand wash all my dishes. I knew it was going to be a major problem so I made a goal. I decided I was going to make sure I washed every dish every night before I went to bed so they would never stack up to be a nightmare. Eventually my apartment manager got around to replacing my dishwasher and now I have kept up with doing dishes every evening only it’s a lot easier with a dishwasher.

Now I run the dishwasher almost every night, unless it’s really empty then I just leave it. Every morning I unload it while my coffee is brewing.

To some people this might not seem like a big deal, and to others it might seem impossible to keep up this routine. To me it has been a big improvement to my quality of life. If I feel like cooking something I always have a kitchen that is in a state that will allow me to do that and it always feels so good.

Figure out what’s wrong with my car. Taking it to a shop is probably too expensive and figuring it out myself is too daunting of a task. It sometimes dies when I’m slowing to a stop, and I have to put it in park and restart it. Sometimes it’s hard to start and then the tachometer stays at zero even though the engine is running.

My username. If you enter urata as your name when you play Castlevania III for NES you start with the mage character (Sypha Belnades) available from the start.

Also iddqd for god mode and idkfa for all weapons in DOOM because that game was way too hard when I was a kid.
