Does that controller work with one of 8bitdo’s wireless dongles? They’re pretty cheap - I paid around £8 for mine a few years back - but it will need a USB-A port free. Might be a stopgap so you can decide if something else better suits your needs.

He always looks like he’s received a surprise prostate examination and the doctor had cold hands.


Looks like the unholy outcome of breeding a Smurf with a Womble…
Which is to say that it looks much better with the eyes in place.


Every actor in ‘Still Wakes the Deep’. I don’t usually like that type of game - you don’t really have a great deal of agency, you can’t fight only run, there are sudden deaths in some sections - but the overall atmosphere, the design, and that perfect voice casting drew me in. I think it’s still on Game Pass if you want to see and hear it for yourselves.


Yes, ‘sausage’ is definitely used more for the description of a shape than for what out contains. It would make more sense for ‘burger’ to be used to describe the shape too, i.e. a synonym for the word ‘patty’, which makes it sound too close to ‘pat’, as in ‘what cows leave in fields’.
The Dictionary Gatekeepers should also add the word ‘sausagenous’ to mean sausage-shaped, mostly because it’s pleasing to say.
The claim is that people can be confused about what the product is if the meat and non-meat products are called by such universally descriptive names. I find this argument specious as all the non-meat stuff I see has some variation of ”meat-free" on the packaging in large and distinct text, so what they’re suggesting is that meat-eaters are illiterate. Not sure that’s the huge gotcha the lobbyists think it is, TBH.
Looks like a means of detecting how far the phone is from an object, then calculating the depth of field adjustment needed to supply the “right” amount of background blurring, making the object stand out in the resulting image. Good for making portrait subjects stand out from their surroundings, for example.
Inspector Inigo Montoya will likely find no shortage of six-fingered men, I suspect. The sooner this AI bubble bursts, the better.


The only trickling that happens is from someone pissing on your leg and telling you it’s raining.


Snap is a packaging format for applications that was created by Canonical, the company that makes Ubuntu. Works similarly to Flatpak in that you just download one file and the application still then just run as it includes any necessary libraries, etc. I don’t know how well supported it is outside of Ubuntu, but Flatpak seems to be more prevalent.
Cinnamon is a UI, one that should be easy to pick up for new users if they’ve had some experience with Windows.
And FWIW, everyone starts as a beginner!
He’s the bleedin’ son of god, not a bloody goose! Died for our sins and you’re trying to attract him like a hunter with a duck lure!
