A while ago, #Nintendo submitted a big set of patents locally at Japan that if granted, makes many mechanics of the new Zelda as proprietary. Now it was revealed that Nintendo submitted a new one where details a joystick that contains a ‘magnetorheological fluid’ (MRF), which changes viscosity depending on the intensity of a magnetic field. The move is BIG as one of the negative aspect on the life of the Nintendo Switch was the issue known as "drifting" where a joycon sticks could not maintain its absolute zero position provoking troubles for moments that you need 100% of CONTROL of characters/camera movements. But Nintendo lack of "rush" on solving this situation only limiting to special discounts and a short-lived repair program (legally obligated to add the insult), made the issue almost impossible to solve unless gamers resorted on 3rd parties. I believe this is Nintendo saying "HELL NO BE ON THIS CRAP AGAIN" on the next Nintendo hardware, heavily suggested to be announced on Spring 2024 and launching at the second half of 2024. #gaming #gamingnews

Made a quick test & got to resort to https://github.com/71/stadiacontroller/releases for a proper connection with VDX to simulate a PS4 controller. My Navy Blue is officially dead (left analog stick almost unresponsive + drifting), but white Stadia Controller on Warzone 2.0 felt nice in 5 mins of play. I read some existing and updated alternatives to the Stadia Controller OG virtual emulator and will try them with more ease tomorrow night.

With all the #initiald I've been #watching lately, I found this #hotwheels #toyota #ae86! It may not be the #pandatrueno but was still #happy with the #find. #anime #drift #drifting #community #downhill

Hoping that drifting problem doesn't explode on the Steam Deck's analog sticks, iFixit confirmed to The Verge that their repair and replacement kits will be available starting this summer. Since last week it has been reported that some Steam Decks are not paying attention to the neutral position of levers, to which Valve responded with a patch that strengthens the precision to define the neutral position. No major complaints have been heard since the update so that is a respect for many. https://www.theverge.com/2022/3/4/22962087/ifixit-steam-deck-replacement-parts-summer #SteamDeck #iFixit

Esperando que no explote el “drifting” en las palancas analógicas del Steam Deck, iFixit confirmó a The Verge que sus equipos de reparaciones y reemplazos estarán disponibles a partir de este verano. Desde la semana pasada se viene reportando que algunos Steam Deck no están haciendo caso a la posición neutral de palancas a lo que Valve, respondió con un parcho que fortalece la precisión para definir la posición neutral. No se han escuchado mayores quejas desde la actualización por lo que entonces es un respeto para muchos. https://www.theverge.com/2022/3/4/22962087/ifixit-steam-deck-replacement-parts-summer #SteamDeck #iFixit

Two novelties with Steam Deck and that is that Valve indicated that the little support for the controls of the PC Gaming portable does not work in Google Stadia and Xbox Game Pass Cloud is due to fixes that will arrive soon at the software level. Good news to game-as-a-service believers. On the other hand, the company indicates that the problems reported on the Steam Deck subreddit, about joy-drifting at an early age, are due to the need to correct the precision algorithm to define the neutral position of the levers. The company immediately urged users not to notice improvements after the update, it will be offering a replacement kit (being the debut of its association with iFixit). The problem is that it is VERY LIKELY that there are no parts yet. https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/t4o91g/valves_response_on_my_stick_driftdeadzone_ticket/ #Valve #SteamDeck #JoyDrifting

Dos novedades con Stem Deck y es que Valve indicó que el poco soporte para los controles del portable de PC Gaming no funciona en Google Stadia y Xbox Game Pass Cloud se debe a arreglos que llegarán próximamente a nivel de software. Buenas noticias a los creyentes del game-as-a-service. Por otra parte, la empresa indica que los problemas reportados en el subreddit del Steam Deck, sobre joy-drifting a temprana edad, se deben a que hay que corregir el algoritmo de precisión para definir la posición neutral de las palancas. De inmediato la empresa urgió a los usuarios a que no observen mejoras después de la actualización, se estará ofreciendo kit para reemplazar (siendo el debut de su asociación con iFixit). El problema es que es MUY PROBABLE que no existan piezas todavía. https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/t4o91g/valves_response_on_my_stick_driftdeadzone_ticket/ #Valve #SteamDeck #JoyDrifting

One of those days when you finish your stream and just wonder... is this worth keeping up? I've been at this for like... 7 years now. I was SO CLOSE to partner around when the pandemic started, then been slowly drifting farther and farther away. But times when you feel like that, it helps to focus on the kind words people have shared with you and the things you HAVE accomplished. Negative stuff always seems to stick in your mind more than the rad things you've done. Anyway... cheers y'all. -sigh-

Any of yall love Cannon Fodder, Command & Conquer or General Chaos on the Amiga or Sega Megadrive (Genesis)?? I'm playing a game called Foxhole off stream that reminds me of them and its got me absolutely hooked man!! Its weird, but i kinda like doing a few hours of logistic runs creating & delivering weapons, ammo and other supplies, then getting on the front lines and drifting between fighting and building. Im thinking about bringing it to the stream, but would like a few squad mates to join the shenanigans!!! Anyone on here play? Or is anyone here thinking about getting it?

I dont think ill really post too often as i work a full time labor job during the week. To anyone drifting through, though, I normally stream on the weekends at 10am/11am/12pm/1pm for US time zones; Weekday streams outside sat/sun will be a rarity. my current designer is my girlfriend, who hand-paints all of my model assets and im gonna stick with those. If you ever have the time stop by my stream, maybe say hi and stick around a while, a little bit goes a long way
