This video by Jimmy The Giant explains it better than I can in words.

Issue with healthcare IT is they cannot just upgrade willy nilly. They have to make sure that whatever computer they're changing isn't responsible for something big and they have to make sure everyone who uses it can use it. You still have some critical system PCs in hospitals that run DOS and sometimes even older.

Linux mint is another really good windows refugee friendly distro. And if you want a gaming COVID one then bazzite is the one to go for (it's basically steam OS, but there's a full fledged desktop version too)

Yeah I've never had a great time with it when it involves moving the screen you're using ie the switch, vita and wii u. But still find the precision much better than stick alone.

You've got to remember that the gyro is just for precision movements, not the wide spread sweeps (outside of occasional reactionary ones). The stick should still be the primary way to move the camera. Like, stick to position to the enemy, then gyro to precisely aim for the head, kind of deal.

And just like mouse and stick sensitivity, everyone will have their preferred sensitivity for gyro to, which can take a little bit of experimenting to begin with when trying it out properly for the first time.

Don't strike it out completely yet. You might just want it to be at a lower sensitivity and still prioritise the stick and just use the gyro for those small readjustments.

Don't be pedantic, if you're not an idiot you'd have known exactly what they meant.

You can hone in on its sensitivity too by the way. I know find it hard when I pay a console game without gyro. Ever since splatoon I've not looked back. I don't understand why people are so averse to trying it. In my eyes it's better than using a mouse, because then you still have all of the other benefits of a controller like analog movement etc.

The only ones i know of are the top end Xbox and PlayStation controllers which are exorbitantly expensive, especially when all you want is extra buttons.

I also have had issues with my standard dualsenses Bluetooth not acting great when using my Bluetooth headphones at the same time (which are also made by Sony)

Because they're all shit, each current controller has some kind of downside when wanting to configure it for games.

Either Steam input doesn't recognise extra buttons, or the ones that do have issues with being Bluetooth only.

I've tried the vader 3 which was great, but unrecognised so needed extra software to remap for each game which was never as simple as steam input and required me to use a mouse and keyboard which isn't great with a htpc setup.

And then recently I've tried the horipad for steam, this is almost perfect except for only two back paddles, the face buttons being weirdly shaped so the some of them stick when pressing them and the Bluetooth is shitty.

If steam input allowed the full use of generic controllers instead of ones that have been explicitly set up, I'd have no issues, I'd be able to find the one for me. But because they don't do that, I'm waiting for the steam controller 2 because a full layout just like the steam deck would be the dream.

Where did you get that from?

Or gyro?

The more they do shit like this the more they look "school playground gay"

I'm a massive fan of Star wars and even the original trilogy are just meh for me. I much more prefer episode 3, clone wars, rebels, rogue one, andor and games like kotor

Another comment explained what it is but to explain where the name comes from, you remember those capsule machines where you had to collect all the toys? Those were called gachapon machines, often shortened to just gacha (i might be slightly wrong on a little bit of the words, but they are the capsule machines)

Yeah we have custard but that's a completely different thing to ice cream...

Custard goes on cakes

For games and other media that gets "released". Cancelled is usually the term that gets used if it doesn't come out.

A film that is no longer in the cinema doesn't get said it was cancelled for example.

For games that cease to be playable after release they are more often described as being shut down or being sunset. Like I've never read about an ongoing game being cancelled unless they were specifically talking about an originally upcoming piece of dlc or content being cancelled.

Revolt

Shut down is the correct term. A cancelled game is a game that never released. No need to muddy that definition.

AI is here to stay but I can't wait to see it get past the point where every app has to have their own AI shoehorned in regardless of what the app is. Sick of it.

Is this an American thing?
