Had an apron that I stuck my mouse and split keyboard on so they could be used sitting, standing, seiza, cross legged, etc.

zero_spelled_with_an_ecks@programming.devto Patient Gamers@sh.itjust.works•Does Super Metroid get any better?13·8 days agoI miss the days when there wasn’t as much plot. We didn’t need Samus to have a relationship to the Chozo. They were just cool, mysterious alien statues. They could attack her. Then in Zero they could only have a puzzle battle to help her.
I really prefer the gameplay of Super as well. There aren’t so many speed booster puzzles. No long cutscenes. It’s really good at letting me get into a flow state. The music is great, too. If you’re not good at the game, you can get enough items to make a lot more mistakes. If you’re super good at it, there’s tons of sequence breaks.
Another thing I did not like about Zero was the stealth parts. Also didn’t like the qte in Dread nor the railroading. And the 2 remake’s parry mechanic was also annoying and constantly interrupted flow.
I’m surprised you liked two so much an I found the Gameboy one extremely repetitive. AM2R made it amazing, though, so if you haven’t tried that, give it a go. Not sure where you can get it these days, though.
The plots have also sometimes been meme worthy bad. Other M comes to mind.
Another thing I really didn’t like with some of the plot driven ones was excuses to not have items that were based on Samus being somebody’s subordinate. Just let me explore. Don’t give me a manager.
But if Super isn’t doing it for you, that’s valid. I hope you get more enjoyment than frustration from the series.
zero_spelled_with_an_ecks@programming.devto Accessibility@programming.dev•Open source one handed keyboard.1·16 days agoI can’t read the description, but it looks like it’s a full keyboard slightly curved. I’m used to seeing one handed keyboards be chording or have multiple layers, though that’s for English input, like the Frogpad or twiddler. I’m not familiar with Chinese input and what it needs to have a functional set of keys.
zero_spelled_with_an_ecks@programming.devto Linux@programming.dev•Should we be wary of Red Hat?4·17 days agoSeems like they use that to circumvent other parts of the gpl, in spirit and possibly in the letter of the law. Others have more and better things to say about it than I:

I’m not. I don’t think we’re going to change each other’s mind, so have a good one.
zero_spelled_with_an_ecks@programming.devto Linux@programming.dev•Should we be wary of Red Hat?31·17 days agoI guess you consider the parts of open source that are contributed to be owned by the contributors? I don’t think that’s how open source works nor how it should work.
IBM doesn’t bankroll Red Hat? Buddy, IBM owns Red Hat https://www.redhat.com/en/about/press-releases/ibm-closes-landmark-acquisition-red-hat-34-billion-defines-open-hybrid-cloud-future
zero_spelled_with_an_ecks@programming.devto Linux@programming.dev•Should we be wary of Red Hat?42·17 days agoI don’t see the problem with that. Red Hat is bankrolled by IBM. I don’t have any qualms about them facing competition, even underhanded competition which I don’t think this is. Contributing to open source doesn’t and shouldn’t guarantee financial compensation, customers, whatever.
zero_spelled_with_an_ecks@programming.devto Linux@programming.dev•Should we be wary of Red Hat?9·17 days agoOk, but why is there even an agreement required to access to source to something, uh, open source?
zero_spelled_with_an_ecks@programming.devto Linux@programming.dev•Should we be wary of Red Hat?321·18 days agoIBM sucks. They have bought up a bunch of small data centers and made them worse.
I’m still pissed about CentOS as well. Long live Rocky.

I didn’t drive much an the time, so it may have been over a week or more before I rediscovered them in there. Took a while for the car to stop smelling like mold.
