You want a physical KVM, like a JetKVM.

You can get software only ones, but these run as a program in the OS, so you can't access anything BIOS or troubleshoot if the OS doesn't load, as then the software KVM won't.

He used to frequent parties at a mutual friend's place, pretty much bimonthly the friend would have everyone over and we'd trash his garage. Movies one night, Xbox halo lan another, big magic game etc. I haven't seen him for over 20 years now.

He went by "Chocolate Mountain" then. Everyone called him that. Good times.

~~I'm poking people who know him to see if I can get something more concrete than "I think", but IIRC he might have passed.~~ He's doing good, still posting to FB and stuff.

I love seeing this one pass by, everytime I can think, "hey I know that guy!"

That's the power of GitHub. The fork still shows idolize as the author and clearly has gpl3 license (added by idolize). They can change what they want in the original repo, but the fork is covered forever, and ironclad proof of the licensing. If OP's code is based off this fork, unmodified (of which it's a fork, also ironclad proof it's that gpl3 version) then it's also gpl3. Saaaafe. This should be open and shut on github's end, just a dumb DMCA report.

Yes please link us to the bug tracker if it's public, or the app if not, so we can confirm the bug for them (which they'll obviously hate, but deserve).

If a single bug report about it got this reaction... Imagine.

I own the TurboGrafx 16 version, it was one of my favorite games for it. That was my only console as a child, good times. There is a cutscene at the start, and that's all the lore the manual offers too: https://r.mprd.se/TurboGrafx-16/TG16-PCE/EXTRAS/Manuals/Bomberman%20%28U%29.pdf

Something along the lines of a inventor's daughter being kidnapped by an invention gone evil (black Bomberman), and you are the one who didn't go bad, trying to rescue her (which you do by the end).

I don't have the manual anymore, but it's findable online.

you literally just need a bridge. here are instructions for debian.

Nothing at all. If things go south on the install I'll have a clean slate. Really the only thing I have backed up are keys, everything else is nonessential.

I have to say, this situation has improved enough that I've had no problem using BT controller connection.

We're talking about games like Elden Ring, Enter the Gungeon, MGS:Snake Eater Delta.. and reaction time definitely matters for those games. One controller even came with a 2.4ghz 1000hz dongle, and it seems the new controller will probably have an option like that if the GabeGear has the hardware built into it: "Steam Controller's wireless adapter is built right into Steam Machine for direct pairing."

This is a strange argument to me. I just don't get it.

So. You have the controller, advertised 35+h life on a single charge.

Unless you're some sort of gaming machine, even a no-lifer sleeps.

We'll do a crazy minimum, you sleep 4h a day. that's 20h for gaming. You plug it in when you sleep, a time when no one will be using it and it can be "tethered".

if it's a straight line (it's probably not) 20h/35h gets you down to 42% battery.

Even 2-3 years later, battery should be between 70-80% capacity. If the minimum after a full day of usage, from charged, is 42% from the 35h estimate, in your worn 70% capacity battery you've still got more than 15% spare between days, after accounting for years of degradation.

And then, after using it for 3 years, you might have to contemplate using the hated screwdriver and replacing the battery. And this is only if you've been no-life wrecking this controller for that long. It'll be much better from "regular" gaming usage.

I think this just comes down to undisciplined people, who can't manage to plug their stuff in routinely. I really can't see any other logical reason to feel this way.

And even then, for the people who can't do charging regularly, and don't want to worry about being tethered to a charger/their machines, a $10 power bank from a gas station fixes this issue. I charge my controller from a phone charger, already next to me, whenever it needs it. No one says that you have to explicitly plug it in to whatever you're playing on.

Personally, I think even giving the option of using disposable batteries is irresponsible on the designer's end. Everyone talks about rechargeables, but there's still going to be a percentage of people who just use disposables.

This does make more sense for the frame controllers, as when they die, there's no good/safe way you can still use them, and have them plugged in. even with a power bank the cables are, at best, ungainly, and at worst, an active safety hazard, as you swing them around you while not being able to see them. I've tried using index controllers wired to a power bank I was carrying, and it wasn't good.
