  • That’s not how stick drift works. If that worked, then recalibrating the controller should work. Secondly, I guess you weren’t the kinda kid who loved taking things apart and putting them back together again. Fixed stick drift on a joystick when I was a teenager by taking the joystick apart, cleaning the sensor and putting it back together again. Had no clue what I was doing and this was before youtube, yet I still managed to do it right.












  • Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. (60’s Psychedelic rock, nearly all of the songs were hits, that’s how good it is)

    Twin Fantasy by Car Seat Headrest (indie rock)

    3D Country by Geese (country rock made by a punk band)

    [the future academy of noise, rhythm and gardening presents…] The Dream by The Orb. (Ambient house? Can’t remember the exact genre, very ambient, sample heavy and “lush” but also dancable)

    Keep It Unreal by Mr. Scruff (acid/nu-jazz I think?)

    Frequencies From Planet Ten, Time Travelling Blues by Orange Goblin (two albums, stoner metal)

    The Crazy World of Arthur Brown (by The Crazy World of Arthur Brown). (Psychedelic rock with rnb/soul-style vocals, also possibly one of the first narrative-based albums)

    Ziltoid the Omniscient by Devin Townsend (prog-metal, one of the greatest albums of all time)

    And if you want the heaviest album I’ve ever heard, try Snailking by Ufomammut. It’s… It’s something else. Basically a mix of doom and stoner metal but with sludge metal effects.

    Anyway, gonna cut myself off here.


  • That’s great. But how long until I can play Balatro on my iPod Classic?

    (I love that indie devs occasionally port their games to nonsensical or obsolete platforms)

    Edit: I actually think Balatro would translate fairly well; assuming the iPod Classic has enough ram and CPU to run a visually stripped-down version. When I had an iPod Nano I played solitaire almost obsessively. The controls were a bit slow due to the limitations of using a clickwheel, but they actually worked really well.

    On a side note: does anyone know if capacitive clickwheels still under patent, trademark or whatever was keeping other companies from using them? I loved the way the iPod clickwheel felt and it sucked that no one else had a 1:1 replication of it.








  • I don’t have much to add; I don’t watch a lot of anime and when I do it tends to be pirated downloaded. However,

    High Guardian Spice is the biggest piece of trash to come out of anime in the last 10 years. It was marketed as anime for diverse groups, most notably highlighting their LGBTQ+ representation. Well, you know you messed up when even people in the LGBTQ+ community hate this show to death—like, no one likes this; this is terrible.

    I looked it up and damn. Yeah. I don’t even need to watch an episode, the art style has the “we’re trying to pander as hard as we can” look to it. I dunno if it’s just that it looks like Steven Universe (which I’ve heard is a good show about inclusivity, albeit with a shitty fandom) or something else; but something about it screams “look at how gay and diverse we are! Give us money!”
