Eskating cyclist, gamer and enjoyer of anime. Probably an artist. Also I code sometimes, pretty much just to mod titanfall 2 tho.

Introverted, yet I enjoy discussion to a fault.

  • Old cards used to crash in price because each gen would significantly increase performance or reduce price, sometimes both.

    That is no longer the case. GPUs have consistently increased in price to match the increased performance of new gens, which has made striving for the latest and greatest a bad value proposition.

    Whats the point of buying a new card when the fps per dollar is about the same? The same amount of money no longer gets you more fps, you have to fork out MORE each time to get something that’s significantly better, because if you go with the same budget, you only get justabout the same.

    Unless you care about raytracing and fake frames (which I don’t), newer cards only have slight power efficiency gains to offer.




  • Nothing else ever really achieved what the peobble did. I just wanted a cheap second point of interaction with my phone.

    After it went under the industry has doubled down on insane cost, pointless features, abysmal battery life.

    I don’t get it. Pepple made all the right trade offs and the third party support was incredible.

    I hope this works out.







  • You shouldn’t need to remap anything. And PCSX2 should be able to tell that it’s a DS5.

    Are you sure you’re not mixing up the actual controller with what PCSX2 is pretending the controller is, which by default is a DS2 (this can be set to other stuff that isn’t a DS2, like a guitar hero controller).

    To configure an input device, you’d go into the controller settings, of course. There are separate settings for controller 1 and 2. In the top right of either, there should be a drop down for assigning a device to be that controller. That’s where you select the DS5.





  • The Vita was great, but I didn’t really get into more than a handful of games until SD2VITA became available. (The adaptor allowing the use of an SD card through the game slot).

    Sure, then you can’t use game cards, but who needs those now that you dump games and keep your entire library on that one SD card, ready to go anytime, for pennies?

    If that had been how it worked from the start, I would have bought so many more games. The library started off decent, and aventually got really damn good.

    But a lot was digital only, especially the indie stuff, so at the time, getting new games was like pulling teeth.

    I only got it to play WipEout 2048, but Gravity Rush turned out to be one of my all time favorite games, and Killzone Mercenaries showed me the genius of gyro aim before anyone else had even heard of it.


  • Any DPI above a couple thousand is more than enough. Lots of people play at low DPIs (400-800) because it actually allows for more precision in some scenarios by making very large hand movements into very small in-game movements.

    It’s more about what the tracking quality on a given sensor is like. With a good sensor, you get consistent mouse-to-pixel movement, so that the same movement always results in exactly the same input. That is what allows you to make mouse movement something you can train your muscle memory to do. Once you no longer have to think about it, you can perform actions in games faster than you’re able to think.

    Logitech sensors have been REALLY good for years now, and the Roccat Kova was also a mouse I chose specifically due to the sensor in it being known to have consistent tracking performance.

    That said, the problem on that mouse wont be the sensor. It’ll be the polling rate. Which might be fine, but it isn’t disclosed in the specs, which is something all gaming mice do.


  • Logitech G Pro, maybe? Any logitech mouse should work with OpenRGB for turning the lights off.

    I’m not sure the G Pro has the sideways scrollwheel buttons, but I would consider binding a g-shift key with a second layer, where you bind the scrollwheel to scroll sideways, that way you have the same level of control for both types of scrolling. (Piper should let you do these keybind changes.)

    Also, see if enabling autoscroll helps you out. That’s a setting that’s off by default in Firefox on linux. It’s the feature where you click the middle mouse, and it makes mouse movement scroll the page continuously depending on how far you move the mouse from the point where you clicked. That works up, down, left, right, and even diagonally.

    I used to use a Roccat Kova and loved it. Only stopped to go wireless with a G305. The Kova might also fit your needs. Great sensor with great button layout, but unfortunately also has rgb. Not sure if it works with OpenRGB, but it’s on the very subtle side.


  • There was considerable campaigns ran against the corporate interests, too, in favor of pushing the new law forward.

    Clearly, not enough effective ones.

    First of all, I said I find it hard to sympathize with people who vote against their best interest. If you took that as a suggestion of executing people you are out of your damn head and I would thank you not to put words in my fucking mouth.

    The point is, you have to sympathize. That’s literally step one of changing anyone’s mind. If you cant pull that one off, you’ve already failed.

    The only alternative is the other extreme. If you can’t get people to vote differently, the only option you have left is to remove them entirely.

    To start, we should be better funding the education system.

    So are you blaming the people too uninformed to vote for their own interests, or not? Cuz this sounds like exactly the kind of thinking I’m trying to tell you to engage in instead of the “it’s their own fault, fuckem”-attitude you walked in with.


  • Ok.

    Then what is your solution short of executing these people?

    If you want the next vote to go according to reality, your solution MUST include getting people to change their minds.

    You don’t do that by going “lol you guys shat your beed, now sleep in it”.

    You claim they were repeatedly told and warned, but the fact that things went the way they did, proves they weren’t.

    You’re only blaming them, because it’s easier than acknowledging that more should have been done.

    Your apathy and dispassion on the matter is literally part of the problem, and one of the things the lobbying done by these companies sets out to achieve.
