    Can’t speak to Xbox Series controllers, but Xbox One controllers on Linux are a mess in terms of the drivers situation. Running 'em over USB with xpad, the default kernel driver is fine, but you might need to install xone or xow to get them working wirelessly with the dongle, or xpadneo for Bluetooth. Maybe other people have had a better time but it’s a total fucking headache IME.



  • I’m not sure what exactly Microsoft’s game is here. Like yeah, they’re tapping into a market segment they’re not currently participating in, with the additional benefit of giving Xbox gamers access to their existing libraries, I get that, but then what? Like, assuming that these are still gonna be fully functional PCs that people can install third party storefronts on, doesn’t this just run the risk of losing existing customers to other software vendors? I can already see the people coming from Xbox onto a Microsoft handheld and then getting hooked by a Steam Sale or EGS freebie, spending less money in MS’s ecosystem over time.
    Maybe they’re hoping that the same effect could happen in reverse, but tbh I’m not sure how many Steam/Epic/GOG/Itch/whatever gamers would start building a library in the Xbox storefront. I’d wager it’s a lesser number than those they’ll lose with this sort of device.





  • You don’t get to complain about other people trolling when you are being this deliberately obtuse.

    Gravity is in the most literal sense a force of nature. It has had measurable effects since pretty much the dawn of time. Gender is a social construct. The only effects it has on the world around us is that which we as a society allow it to, and in the absence of any people who believe in such a concept it would cease to exist in any meaningful sense.

    Nobody is sincerely claiming that dragons, as in the mythological creatures, actually exist in material reality. By adopting dragonfucker/rider as a gender identity, drag is aligning with the concept of them in some kinda nebulous social sense I’m not gonna pretend to understand.

    Maybe drag’s trolling about it, but to be honest, I really couldn’t give a shit about the specifics of Dragon Rider’s identity one way or the other because I think drag’s an insufferable shit-stirrer. What really pisses me off here though is that you’ve actually made me care about this because in spending all day bitching about how drag’s a shit-stirring troll, you have engaged in precisely the behaviour that can make drag such a… drag.
