It makes far more sense to me to make the right trigger a right mouse click and the left trigger a left mouse click. Usually I'm also being precise with the right trackpad at that point, then my left hand is perfectly available to do a left mousetrigger click.

It'll also be less confusing when a game tells me to rightclick something. 😋

Looks like I managed to crash my Steam Deck. :P (It suddenly rebooted)

I was only trying to add gyro movement to RimWorld, so that I can move around the maps (not mouse movement). Haven't managed to achieve that goal, it just doesn't seem to work.

I'm really starting to appreciate that there's a delivery pickup point near my place. I just divert all my packages to there so I can pick them up at a convenient time for me instead of having to be on standby all day in my own house.

The game SUPERHOT definitely is made for the gyro. 😃

3D "shooter", no fast reflexes required, definitely need to be able to look all around you. This might be more fun than when I played it on the PC.

I like the gyro in 3D puzzle based games or 3D exploration games, I think. I still need to get used to the controls, and I wonder what the best action is to turn around if I don't want to do a 180 in my lazy chair. 😋

I've played a session of Portal 2 and a bit of Aer. Portal 2 was fun, looking absolutely everywhere with the gyro, though sometimes it's at awkward angles. Gotta figure out what the best strategy is to look around smoothly. I also think I have to rebind a few keys there as having to let go of the gyro to grab or push something is a bit annoying.

*Chuckles* That was adorable.

Teacher with a little girl, who's obviously a bday girl if her festive hat was anything to go by, is going around the classrooms and offices to hand out treats.

She handed me the whole box, and I signed: "Can I have all of that?" She nodded yes. I was wide-eyed, "Allllll of that?!" The teacher signed to her, "Nono, they can't have all of that, it's just one they get out of the box!" Oh yeah!

So the girl signed "One thing" "Oh, phew, okay, thank you, I was already afraid I would have to become fat!" And then I grabbed just one treat out of the box and gave the box back to her, hehe.

The teacher thanked me and I'm just amused by this interaction. 😋

Wow, the Steam Deck, in its Linux desktop environment (KDE in this case), certainly has a shitton of emulators ready to install. 👀
There's even a few Switch emulators in the list, lol.

Woo, I got my Steam Deck in! I've been trying out a few games and also tested out the gyro. Not sure I'll be using the gyro that much, but LEGO games and such work perfectly fine on that thing. 😁

Went to play a good session of FAR: Lone Sails, it's kinda getting used to a smaller screen. I mean, I usually game on a 24" monitor. :P

I also managed to mooch a dock from job, still gotta test that out with the deck but it'll be a nice loaner until I get a nice dock that's more suited for holding the Deck. A Deck dock. :P

You know, everybody needs to learn sign language. It'll be a lot harder to deepfake that. 😋

There goes my quiet spring. The neighbours are going to extend their house in the coming months. 😫

Remember this picture every single time you hear someone in your city say "we're not Amsterdam."

The cities we admire made better choices regarding cars, and are still making them today.

Better choices instead of excuses.

Goddamn, that was such an unexpected cliffhanger. I greatly enjoyed binging Dead End Paranormal Park. Not often that a cartoon series could keep me that entertained. Especially the second season picked up the pace very fast and it's all a grand storyline.

Looks like Netflix canceled the third season (typical..), which is a big bummer. It's still worth watching the series though as it's been really entertaining even though it ends with that cliffhanger. The storyline of the second season has been reasonably concluded, so that's that.

Looks like they fixed the pricing error, the bundle discount is now 0% instead of a compounding 70%. To people who managed to buy it with the double discount: Grats. :)

Not entirely sure if this is a pricing error (bundle price scaling issue?) or intended, but currently the Mythic Edition of Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous is pretty damn cheap at 91% off. Just in case you're interested in that game:

NLPol Provinciale Statenverkiezingen 

Ik ben best teleurgesteld dat de populisten weer de stemmen trekken. De partijen die serieus aan de slag willen krijgen zo geen kans.

Dat wordt dus weer geen grote vooruitgang voor Nederland tot de volgende verkiezingen. :geblobcatshrug:

Om die reden heb ik bij de waterschapsverkiezingen ook niet voor een landelijk politieke partij gestemd. Basisvoorzieningen moeten niet politiek gedreven worden.
