Randomly selected at startup from a list of photos that I associate with times of my life that were very important to me and cool art I found on the internet.

My laptop still has a black background.

The unsafe rust keyword basically just lets you declare a scope in which some memory checks do not need to pass for the program to compile.

You make a good point, I had not really considered magic guns on the baddie side which is probably the only one which would use it. I was mostly considering single targets which is mostly all that the protagonists fight.

A magic gun could probably also have been used to non fatally injure the dragon in the tri wizard cup.

Each line of text was moved towards the centre, making the top and bottom text intersect the bottom and top of their stripes respectively. The crntre text was also a little too low.

Nope, just mercury filled asbestos particles.

3300ยฐC seems a bit much for butane but it could be farenheit which I would assume is still quite hot.

This whole thing about wands being able to do basically the same as a gun also me realize that one could see the Harry Potter books as a group of kids with stun guns and gadgets fighting the idiot baddies who just use guns and can't get a single plan to go right because of some dumb bs.

This made me think about what would make a magic gun in the setting superior to a regular gun. Assuming it's just more powerful it shouldn't make much difference since everyone is just running around with a wand that can kill someone at will anyways. In the case of the weird wand connections that I barely remember even happening outside of one scene in the books (and more often in the films) I suppose it would be useful.

The main advantage of a gun would seem that it is instant (no incantation, just aiming) and could probably be silenced.

To me the collar is just too blurry to read. I definitely agree with the rest.

 

I've recently been playing more games with controller support on Steam and have had some issues getting them to work.

I have a DualShock 4 Controller (for a PS4) and it works fine for some proton games with controller support (Rainworld and BG3 for example) work fine out of the box. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and Balatro both work with the default settings but only on Wayland (Hyprland). The games that work only on Wayland display Xbox button glyphs, leading me to believe that they are using Steam Input. I have in the past been able to play games with no controller support using Steam Input to emulate keyboard inputs on x11.

I am now trying to play LEGO Lord of the Rings which has Xbox Controller support but not Playstation Controller support and as such would require Steam Input. I would be happy to get it working on either x11 (i3) or preferably Wayland (Hyprland) but so far the closest I have gotten is being able to select my controller as an input device in the settings (by a button press being detected), this did however not allow me to perform any menu inputs and I was not able to reproduce it after restarting the game.

Overall my experience with my controller has gotten slightly worse over the past years (x11 only, I have barely used it when on Wayland) and I was wondering if anyone in this community had experience with non Xbox/Steam controllers in Steam that they would be willing to share.

A few of side notes:

  • The controller works fine for Steam in big picture mode and it is an official Play Station controller from Sony.
  • My Steam is installed via flatpak on the device using x11 and the device using Wayland.
  • Both devices are setup with EndeavourOS (arch based).
  • I run most of my non native games on Proton Experimental.

If I missed some important details that could help resolve my issues or explain why the controller behaves so different on the two devices I'm happy to answer questions :)
