if you're a cis person and you feel sad today because of trans day of rememberance but don't know what do to, here's a simple suggestion: give $20 to every trans person you're friends with

@selectric 'aaand mike johnson has fumbled the ball, democrats are on the move, john fetterman is coming around third and!!! he's in the dirt, looks ugly folks, reports are that the republicans already have a jersey ready for him in the dugout!'

re: uspol 

@selectric idk, you gotta adjust this for fWAR considering all the strays he catches when people talk about other spineless politicians

Rebecca "Burger Becky" Heineman passed away yesterday. If you don't know her, she was the first video game champion in 1980, then immediately went to work programming video games because she got so good at them by literally disassembling to find out how they worked.

She was a major inspiration for me not only for being a trans woman in the industry but because of the amazing technical feats squeezing performance out of every bit of hardware she could touch.

My heart will ache for a good while.

The last toast from the legend herself:

Valhalla really really reeked of beer, but Jennell seems happy

The other angels are tired of me saying “fight for the other users” while throwing my halo around

I leave it up to you to go to lindken.com and look up Jennell Jacques, now look at her job description, goddess of technology… and fuck cancer, fuck it in the ass

@Angela thinking about how the same bungie collaborated with nerf to make a dart blaster styled after one of the ingame weapons in destiny, only for it to come out that the entire printed artwork on the sides of it was wholesale taken from someone's fanart without credit, and now there's potentially tens of thousands of physical nerf blasters out there printed with stolen art

move your left thumb in one of eight directions on the left thumbpad to select between four different weapon firegroups or deploy from four different countermeasure systems, e.g. flares, chaff, etc, move your right thumb on the other touchpad to change the area around your mech where the most energy is put into the shields to quickly respond to and reinforce against incoming fire.

i want....to design a mech video game that is controller first but specifically steam controller first, like crucial functions are mapped to the touch pads in a way where an xbox or ps4 controller would be inferior

The thing that astounds me most about this entire fiasco with baseball players fixing outcomes for the sake of illegal gambling is the fact that out of all the players to be involved in this, the one guy called betts isn't. Just fascinating

what color are google result links for you

it's currently for me and i swear they made it brighter

do you think launching a new steam controller will remind valve to fix the input setup they broke when they launched this steam update a few years back

there is still no feedback when setting up trackpads, you have to fully launch a game and hope your changes are how you want them
