Quoting: slaapliedjeAlmost on topic, I built one of these tonight for my Amiga V4SA to use a spare A4000 keyboard with it, works brilliantly!

https://github.com/tkoecker/amigakb [External Link] Got my order from PCBWay really fast! Like 3 days?

Oh, cool. It's a bit unfortunate that it doesn't work with the A1200, because it's the one “console” Amiga that would be comfortable acting as a keyboard for another machine. And I've got four of them sitting around not doing much, but never had a “big box” Amiga with a wired keyboard.

Those Mitsumi switches weren't the best in the world, but I always liked them.

Quoting: monyarmMy project targets visual novels, including NSFW ones. I've discussed it with the devs on the Discord, and most of them are okay with upstreaming support for older SFW visual novels (Like Clannad or Kanon), but the NSFW ones (the porn/doujinshi games), and the relatively new-ish ones (like Persona), It was a no from the devs, infact one of them said that if a NSFW game was upstreamed they'd quit.

And yet they already support the Leisure Suit Larry series and a game literally called Voyeur [External Link], similar to Night Trap. Let me guess, it was sev?

Yup, it was sev, this were his words in the discord

Spoiler, click me

i still don't understand why nsfw content is an issue
sev 05/13/2020
@Henke37 simple reason: not compatible with me
the day you add it to scummvm, I will leave
so, you may gather all devs, decide to still add it, and I'm saying goodbye
there are no technical problems with it

And they actually did discuss Leisure Suit Larry and Voyeur

Spoiler, click me

We do have an engine for Plumbers don’t wear ties...
And Leisure Suit Larry may be crossing some lines, but presumably not as many as the ones you’re mentioning
Mataniko 05/13/2020
i think there is a very wide gap between the two
trembyle 05/13/2020
We have Voyeur
DreamMaster 05/13/2020
But that's not very NSFW. As far as I remember there was no nudity or explicit sex. Just adult themes at worst
trembyle 05/13/2020
The wiki says that it "features" nudity. Maybe that needs to be changed.
DreamMaster 05/13/2020
Well it's been some years since I worked on it, so my memory may be wrong. But I do recall there wasn't anything that could be considered pornographic. So even if there is brief nudity, then that'd be the worst of it

Quoting: preludelinuxwe know that stadia is a specific Linux configuration supported like a console .... and another platform to support besides mainstream Linux kinda like how there are so many Linux phones competing with android right?

If i buy this game it will be on ps4/ps5 its not they dont support Linux its that they only support googles Linux DRM streaming wrapper. so yes they have a fully functional Linux build that google could release a framework environment possible even opensource it for us to have one environment to run the all games released on stadia , which would increase Linux games sales and take away from support cost because the game dev could say we support googles open game runtime environment kinda like what steam has done already ... im sure this is super easy compared to wine and proton etc but we have yet to hear about these kinda things google just wants to use linux and cash in and lock us in to there monopoly this is something MS does. as time goes on we see that googles new motto is 'Do all Evil"...

google needs to be split up into separate companies just like MicroSoft needs to be and needed to be years ago. stadia is just a very bad idea and the ultimate DRM of letting someone completely control access to your games even consoles are not this restrictive which you can play off disk and download still play offline on some titles to some extent. even playstation Now lets you download titles for use on your system and bypass the streaming part for lots of titles.

Quoting: LinasDo we have any details on how they make these Windows-only DirectX 12 games work on Stadia? I mean, is it actually running on Linux? [Conspiracy theory intensifies]

I think all Stadia games are windows game running on Debian via compatibility layer...
Is the more cheapest process...

Looks like it's already in the EPEL8 repo? And plenty of others, depending on how you define "packaged for enterprise".

Quoting: wvstolzingas far as I can remember, the original keyboards on those devices were pretty awful, with thick springs under each key (*not* buckling spring style, just a straight spring that the keycap bounces on) with ridiculously long 'action', and no real sense of feedback.

Eh, they were okay compared to the competition at the time. I mean, you wouldn't expect a cheap home computer built to a price to have a keyboard as good as a much higher-priced IBM PC built for daily 9-5 use by professional typists. If you compare them to cheap modern rubber-dome boards - which is more realistic - they're really not bad.

Quoting: slaapliedjeBut then the c64 is one of those that I didn't grow up with and wondered why they only have two arrow keys with modifiers to go the opposite direction... it's terrible. I grew up with the Atari 8bit, which had proper arrow keys :P

I didn't have one either, but I'm told by people who did that they got used to it and the use of the Shift key became second-nature. The Sinclair Spectrum had linear cursor keys which attracted a lot of criticism at the time, but they were actually very similar to the Vim-like HJKL layout that's so popular these days. It's all about what you're used to.

Do people just not bother reading the article any more or what?

Quoting: ValckRegarding desktop cases, it may be a bit of a stretch... but I use a 4U 19" server case as my "desktop", with another 2U fuse-and-switch panel below; gives a nice bit of height to the monitor. Probably not going to win any design awards, but it is functional and definitely not cramped inside the case :)

I don't get why people would want to use the 64's keyboard layout, as well as its form factor which doesn't allow to rest your wrists properly? Unless they intend to use the x86 as an emulator and want it to look the part too.

Quoting: brokeassbenNice! I've been using Bashtop (which is great) and this looks like it includes a bunch of improvements on it. Bashtop is arguably a better/catchier name, though. It's extremely useful to use over a terminal SSH session.
