Try DOSBox for that kind of thing

I did do the tutorial (after fucking up the first time through the initial setup and only getting the recommended songs and going “?!?!?!” for a moment) so I know about Z/X but what I mean is it’s not entirely clear if I’m supposed to keep holding them while dragging. The UI’s clear enough if I missed entirely, but if I kind of got it, I’m not really sure if I’m doing it right. With the reversals and the circle closing-in timing and a lot going on on the screen visually, it’s a bit much all at once. TBF, it’d probably make sense if I spend more time poking at it; those were my initial impressions.

Thanks for trying to help me, btw, with your comment; always appreciated.

I’ve seen recordings of people playing this before in stream VODs a couple times before the player fired up another game, and, well, this post finally got me to try it.

The on-ramp for new players trying to make sense of it is, uh, not great. Trying to make an account on the website tells you to download the game. Okay… Trying to make an account in the game then sent me back to the website!? (Why not just let me register on the website in the first place?)

The basic idea of the circle mode is easy enough to understand – although I doubt I will ever get very good at this, at least with a mouse, and I’m still not quite sure on whether or not I’m supposed to hold a key down/click-and-drag or just click and then follow the motion? – but there are other modes that it threw me in (mania?) when I tried loading another song from the catalog and it was rather difficult to even figure out what keys I was supposed to push. (The diagram on the wiki was not helpful – I spent a while confused thinking I was supposed to use ASDF for a “4K” when it seems like it’s actually DFJK for some reason?) Probably all makes sense to someone who’s been playing it for years, but, yeah… Pretty UI, but the on-boarding could use some work.

Might be fun to poke around at for music discovery though.

Anyway, that’s my 2 cents worth from giving it a try.

It looks like the connector is U.2 so I’d look for motherboards that indicate support for that explicitly. From a quick search, it looks like SuperMicro makes some. This is getting out of my area of expertise though; I just know the crazy drives exist…

Assume an unlimited budget for now, I just want to know what’s out there.

I mean, if you’re willing to pay the price of a car per SSD they go up to at least 122TB density per drive… (e.g. Solidigm SBFPF2BV0P12001 D5-P5336 – $16K~$20K depending on supplier from a quick search)

I don’t actually recommend that for personal use, but since you were curious about what’s out there, there’s some absolutely crazy shit in enterprise server gear if you have deep enough pockets.

Running lsusb in the terminal returns Bus 001 Device 003: ID 057e:2009 Nintendo Co., Ltd Switch Pro Controller for the controller. I have no idea why this is, as I don’t think this is a Nintendo controller at all XD

Assuming this is your controller it looks like it supports Switch motion controls specifically, and from your lsusb output it looks like they’re spoofing Nintendo’s USB vendor/product ID – presumably that’s how they make that work?

If it works in the browser but not Steam, then it seems like it’s probably something specific to Steam, but I don’t know what. Doing a quick search, there are a number of threads about people having issues with Steam and Switch Pro controllers – maybe relevant? Steam might be getting confused by how it’s presenting itself? (Wild guess)

If you test with jstest-gtk, does it show up sanely?

a lot of what might’ve been archaically formal and polite ways to say ‘you’ have become ironically rude and/or condescending.

You can do something similar in English through sarcastic statements with inappropriately polite forms of address. e.g. saying “Well, excuse me, sire!” to someone with a sassy tone of voice should be interpreted as “I’m offended” or “I can’t believe you just did that, you asshole” or similar depending on context.

Nice!

Edit: do you have to disassemble the controller (with a screwdriver or something) or is it accessible with just my hands? I swap (rechargeable) AAs on my XBox360 controller quite a bit, and part of why I like it is that I can do it quickly if the battery dies while playing.

Now if it just had a replaceable battery…

The board is still there, but “cupbox” might be more accurate. 🤔️

If that doesn’t work when you try again later, then try searching in the community@example.com format specifically, and also try searching for the URL of a specific post – that might get it to federate the post and then you should be to access the magazine from that if it succeeds.

If that still doesn’t work, message the admin of your instance and ask them for help.

Good luck.

Try searching for the community explicitly – e.g. community@example.com – that should make the server aware that it exists. You may also need to subscribe to keep it from going stale, IIRC.

It’s been a while since my time on kbin, so apologies if I’m remembering something incorrectly or if mbin has diverged since then.

Don’t put them in until they are ripe. Once they are the right level of ripeness for you, you can extend them being in that state for several days by putting them in the fridge.

I fits, therefore I shits.

Best wishes for a solution – for both of your sakes!

Call the manufacturer – if it’s commercially produced, there’s usually a number on the jar somewhere. I’ve done that when I bought cereal that had a badly sealed bag inside and got sent coupons worth more than the cost of the item for taking the trouble to report it.

The double L in many Spanish dialects turning into a Y sound.

Maxwell (the GTX970) I believe is still receiving updates from Nvidia so probably fine.

NVIDIA dropped regular support for it last month. They will get fixes for critical security issues only (until 2028). (source)

If you’re interested in building a new general purpose search engine, it probably makes the most sense to start with Common Crawl’s data set and augment it rather than starting from scratch.
