But can’t you do that with a scope over the iron site that is not full screen and not blurring the peripheral around the scope on the center? But as a 90s/00s gamer, I did love silent scope on arcades. I get what you mean.

The picture in picture scope is a weird design choice. I remember old delta force games, after moving on to rainbow six, ghost recon, or operation flashpoint, not sure why you would go back to that for scopes…

I’m not a PS layout kind of person. I looked at the more Xbox designed ones, but don’t folks say the ergonomics aren’t great? They have yours wrists or hands almost at parallel angles instead of a more open position based on the grip design? I almost went

Didn’t a Japanese company make a controller with native steam input? Is that controller any good? The thing with 8bitdo and the like is you can’t map back paddles to unique inputs via steam and they only can duplicate face buttons by programming the controller iirc.

I have a gulikit kk3, but I don’t love the dongle and don’t love the lack of native steam controller configuration for back paddles. Other than that, the hardware has been good for me.

Obviously. I’m Lemmy and against that. But there are dominant pov’s on Lemmy that saturate threads and are reflected in up votes and down votes

I agree with all these things. But I dont understand the hail corporate mentality of being upset or knee jerk defending steam. I’m curious to see where the suit goes and evaluate if I should consider joining a class action suit as I learn more.

How is Lemmy so anti corporate, but bends over backwards to defend steam as an immaculate corporation. I love steam, and 90% of my game purchases or from their store. 5% are from stores that let me redeem steam keys.

I think their market position should have some scrutiny.

But you could say it pushed the limits. It required the Ram Expansion Pak. I think only 3 or 4 N64 games required that. It was packed with weird game modes like counter op. The far sight gun as a weird experiment to see through walls. It really pushed the limits and tried to do a lot. TimeSplitters was a great spiritual successor to the Goldeneye/Perfect Dark series that continued the tradition.

I got more of a Mirrors Edge vibe than Perfect Dark watching that trailer.

I’m curious, why the simple syrup? I thought the basic Naked and Famous didn’t include any. As I am was reading this I actually was attempting something adjacent, but spirit forward. A riff on a white negroni I like was Gin, Yellow Chartreuse, and Cocci Americano. I swapped the gin for mezcal because that’s what I had on hand, and swapped the chartreuse for Faccia Bruto Centerbe because I didn’t want to waste chartreuse on a first experiment. But like my Last Word riff with mezcal subbed in, so i gave it a try. Didn’t work out, but adding a bit of Cocci di Torino vermouth balanced it out to a more drinkable place. Cheers

I just polished off my bottle of Power’s Rye. But I feel like there’s a good riff on a black Manhattan out there with Power’s Rye, splash of Guinness, and, uh, Irish amaro?

Last word, corpse reviver #2, naked and famous, paper planes. I love that style of elevated and citrus cocktail served up.

1 oz aquafaba

I like fernets, cynar, absinthe and other herbal liquors. If you like those things, malort is fine. Malort gets a bad wrap for being a lot worse than it actually is.

What is the deal with hot swapping on low profile. I remember casually browsing a few months ago and saw folks talking about lack of universal standards making some things incompatible for either switches in the PCB or key caps on the switch. Am I making that up?

If they force me back to the office that’s what I’m picking up for myself. Moonlander is my main keyboard. I don’t think my partner will appreciate a columnar layout though. Thanks.

I’ve sometimes done my black Manhattan use .5 oz of amaro, and .5 oz of cocci di tortino vermouth. If you have some give it a try.

Always have lemons and limes on hand. Whether it is for cocktails, cooking, or blending in a smoothie/juice, it will get used.

The sometimes citruses for drinks though are oranges and grapefruit.

One of my favorite citrus cocktails:
