There's definitely a learning curve to it but if you put the time and effort into it the trackpads can become second nature. I don't really care for gyro but your mileage may vary. Take some time playing with the different setting adjustments to figure out what works best and then try to stick with those settings across different gamesto build up your muscle memory. Personally I find 175% sensitivity, trackball friction high, haptics off to be most comfortable. I started practicing with Amid Evil since its controls are quite basic, and moved up from there. Now I don't even think about the controls and I recently enjoyed a full playthrough of Doom 2016 with no gyro or aim assist. Another approach that might help your coordination and fluency could be to spend time playing something highly mouse-centric like Torchlight, Titan Quest, FTL, etc. It'll feel really clumsy trying to click around at first but after several hours it'll probably start to feel more natural. As for the rest of your movement, I recommend setting up the back buttons for jump/crouch/walk/sprint so you don't have to take your thumbs off the sticks/pads.

Perhaps you may or may not enjoy ~~Space Asshole~~ Red Faction: Guerilla. It's a 2009 game that got a solid enough PC port that may run on weaker systems. There's a remastered version but if you're aiming for low-spec the original might be a better bet.

Anyway, it's an open world set on Mars and you go around wreaking havoc and blowing up buildings with ahead-of-its-time physics/destruction mechanics. The combat is more like a shooter and you play with lots of explosives. It's not a huge map by standards today but is a big enough playground to keep one occupied.

You're not the only one. One of my favorite college stoner snacks was uncooked shell pasta filled with peanut butter. Sucking the peanut butter out softens the pasta and then you get a nice starchy finish.

I'm about 8 hours into it, and I would say try it again, and once you get the launch ability rely on that as your primary weapon. I only really use the gun in a pinch or against enemies that can dodge launches.

I haven't tried it on Deck, but personally I'm a bit skeptical you'd get much tangible benefit over just setting lower package TDP limits as necessary, considering how much of a pain in the ass stable undervolting can be. TDP also has the advantage of per-game settings so you can just crank down undemanding games automatically instead of trying to juggle voltage/stability across the board.

I went back and converted the photo from the raw file for a little more detail, like I should have done in the first place (lazy), and it looks like you're right! Curious that it seems to have lost one on either side. Anyway, it's not a huge difference but the post photo should be updated with the higher quality version now.

They get even weirder down around Madagascar!

Thanks for this. Played it a lot as a kid but always felt like I was missing something with how excruciatingly terrible the missions seemed to be. I kinda chalked it up to being shovelware, yet the game definitely had some solid ideas that were never competently executed. They put in the effort to implement the command prompt-mimicking text interface "boss mode", yet any modicum of interactiveness in missions was apparently too much to ask for.

It's a personal preference and your mileage may vary, but I found a silicone skin to make a huge improvement in handling comfort.

I'm in central Japan and this summer has been by far the worst in the 9 years I've been here. Energy prices are also through the roof right now since TEPCO chose to slander and FUD nuclear energy instead of admitting that their chain of penny-pinching, engineer-ignoring poor decisions was ultimately responsible for the Fukushima meltdown. I suspect a lot of people, particularly the elderly, are going to be squeezed past the breaking point as electric bills are doubling and tripling and air conditioning becomes an unaffordable luxury.

Gorgeous! It reminds me of those heavy metallic flake paintjobs popular with hot rods and show cars.

Bees could also be invited to the funeral....... I think we should bring this back.
