Valve overhauled Steam Deck 'As Mouse' Gyro option in new Beta gamingonlinux.com/2023/09/valvโ€ฆ

#SteamDeck

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

Keep the improvements coming, Valve! I always hated playing 3D shooters on a gamepad, but the Steam Deck's trackpad + gyro changed that. Very hard to get used to it at first, but now it is a must for me. I wish more games would implement it better. There are too many that can't handle mouse and gamepad controls simultaneously, including several Verified AAA titles like Control and Horizon Zero Dawn.


Steam Deck a 'stable target for a couple years' so no Steam Deck 2 for a while gamingonlinux.com/2023/09/steaโ€ฆ

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

Good. The Deck is good hardware for what it is and having a stable target for developers is a good thing. Also, seeing devs push the capabilities of existing hardware rather than just waiting for better hardware is good for everyone.

This semester in my uni Genetics course, I implemented cumulative quizzes and provided descriptions of three effective learning strategies. I've always had ~2 quizzes weekly each with ~5 questions. This semester, each subsequent quiz contains the original questions plus all previous questions, randomized. Also, at the end of the unit, I provided an optional (ungraded) cumulative quiz containing all of the quiz questions, randomized.

Wow. Ok. Normally I feel like it's a bit overplayed to individually comment on #MDPI in the whole #AcademicChatter conversation, but this is really a must-see:

A Special Issue where the guest editors are lead or senior author on 27 of the 28 papers it published. Were they also their own reviewers!? Like... that sounds like I'm taking the piss, but... no seriously were they?

Hm, looks like a Civ6 clone with some EU4 elements mixed in. I do wish the default were to clone Civ4 rather than Civ6

I wonder what's making Civilization clones bloom now (Humankind, Old World, this) when they weren't really a thing for the previous three decades, other than maybe Activision's Call to Power

Amazing. The pristine material from Bennu โ€“ rocks and dust collected from the asteroidโ€™s surface in 2020 โ€“ will offer generations of scientists a window into the time when the Sun and planets were forming about 4.5 billion years ago.

Does it really matter what eggs you buy?

Season 4 of Serving Up Science is out today & this episode covers what terminology like "cage-free," "pasture-raised," "organic" & more really means. #food #science

in reply to Sheril Kirshenbaum

"All eggs are created equal ... nutritionally"

I'm not convinced. I've had eggs from naturally raised chickens that had dark orange yolks and held together better than average store-bought eggs, and they taste better. Perhaps protein wise they're similar, but I'd think they're better for you in other ways.

in reply to David Wayne Thompson

@RoguishDavid yes, it's not quite as simple as all eggs are equal (I don't add the text and animations in these).

But we can't say all pasture raised eggs are higher in X than those in cages, because every environment is different. The vitamins & minerals hens have access to varies based on feed & can vary farm to farm (or backyard) or by region or season.

Spreading fear was not my intent. On the contrary, I wish them great success in being/remaining a foss alternative.

With "flies under the radar", I mean that it isn't a big player commercially with market share of say more than 5% yet. Not yet interesting enough.

I am aware of the history - I once fiddled with XNA for my own pet project (and switched to Unity for later projects).
