Found out this morning that the neighbor we called 911 for almost 2 months ago has passed. Too many infections, pneumonia because his body couldn't clear the fluid from his lungs, organ issues etc. Early 60s, bit too soon and closer to my age than I wanna think about. Lesson here: don't ignore your body when it's telling you something is wrong. He'd been complaining for months about stuff, and then went 4 days with flu-like symptoms before we got him into the ER. RIP John.
Everything political sucks (especially SCOTUS) and the world is on fire (103°f today, 1st of at least 10 straight over 100° days in the forecast) so here's a couple pics of mah boy Beans enjoying a tummy rub. Slept my PCs and turned down the brightness on the security cam display, reduce heat production in the RV as much as possible. Hooray for the Steam Deck and Chiaki4Deck so I can remote play After Us on my PS5 (which vents outside cause I'm smart). #CatsOfCoSo #EveryDayIsCaturday

11-11: Memories Retold (Multi, XPd on PS5) A narrative adventure game starring Elijah Wood as Harry and Sebastian Koch as Kurt, 2 men on opposite sides in WW1.
The art style being based on the paintings of the Impressionist Period is quite beautiful, despite the subject matter. Branching story, multiple endings, great acting, collectibles, you get to play as a cat.. what more do you need? I actually want to see other endings, that's rare. 👍 👍 #CoSoGaming #Gaming #PS5

Röki (Multi, XPd on PS5) As Tove, explore a fairy tale forest and rescue your brother from Jötunravn and her son Röki.
This game looks cute. It can be, but most of the time it isn't, lol. It's a solid point and click (even with a controller) with some heavy themes such as kidnapping and death. There is no combat, tho. Typical P&C puzzle solving. There is some cool mechanics near the end I quite enjoyed. Def worth a look if you like P&Cs. 👍 👍 #CoSoGaming #Gaming #PS5
@AskTheDevil Yeah, once they are calibrated properly they are excellent. I have one that might have a faulty stick tho. I keep fixing it then the next time I use it it's out again and has developed drift. At this point I have 4 extra sticks so I might swap that one out. Other than that they're super nice. Want to mod all my controllers for all my systems now lol.
Well, I have done what I set out to do when I started with these Dual Senses. I have 4 Hall Effect controllers that will never drift again. Bonus, one of them also looks like a slick custom job tho I had to fudge an R1 button from an older model into a newer one until I can find a replacement. Long as you don't look at that it looks sweet. I'm calling it the Frieza for obvious reasons. Other one was pretty messed up when I got it. Not any more.#DIY #Tech #PS5 #DualSense #Gaming #HallEffects
sooooo.. Just bought a pair of broken Dual Senses off eBay for $60. One Galactic Purple, one white. Purple one's shell is pretty scuffed. Curious if the board will fit into an OG white shell. Looking into some HE sticks for my Series controllers. I guess I need to add "microsoldering" to my hobby list. Obvious ProTIp: hot air wands shouldn't be messed with. See pic. Bonus points to anyone that can ID what the tatt is. #DIY #Tech #PS5 #Xbox #Gaming
I have now modified my 2 Galactic Purple Dual Sense controllers with Hall Effect sticks. Calibrated them within .04-.06 of dead center. Reassembled and tested all functions. Everything works. There is no stick drift, and there never will be again. I wish I hadn't failed with the 2 OG white ones that came with my PS5. Considering buying a couple used/broken ones just to fix em. Shit I might start flipping controllers as a side deal lol. #DIY #Tech #PS5 #DualSense #HallEffects #Gaming
The first Dual Sense Hall Effect stick swap went terribly awry. The second attempt went much better.. except the L shoulder buttons no longer register. Changed the cable, cleaned the connector, went over the PCB for any lost/askew components, even tested continuity across the connector with my multimeter. Still no. So I got 4/5ths of a Dual Sense HE controller, heh. Still 2 left to go. Thought about buying used, but "parts only" on eBay lists for $40. People are nuts. #DIY #Tech #PS5 #DualSense

@th3j35t3r "Used my brain" wonder if they're suffering from an RFK brain worm.

Feeling my age today, This released when I was almost 30. #Music #CoSoMusic
@AskTheDevil Absolutely. Recently bought a Gulikit KK3 to use with this PC. Works great, mostly (Linux, so yeah not perfectly heh). Best part about it is updating it is as simple as connecting to USB and drag/dropping a file.
As for the Dual Sense(s), 40 bucks to (hopefully, if my soldering skills are still decent) fix 4 controllers up with Hall Effects instead of 200 for one Edge so I could at least swap out drift sticks for new ones? Hell yeah. Eat it, Sony.
Well, well, well. I see that there are now hall effect joystick replacements available for Dual Sense controllers... I have 4 of them at this point, because my OG pair started drifting after a year. Current pair have started to drift as well. A kit to replace the sticks on 2 controllers is 18 bucks. I do believe I know what my next project is going to be. #PS5 #DualSense #HallEffects #Tech #DIY
It sucks that this game ends on a cliffhanger. The studio is currently in a bad way, having just laid off all employees. The 2 founders haven't taken a salary in months while they desperately pitched stuff to publishers that wasn't picked up. They are trying to Kickstart part 3 of this series, so I guess we'll see what happens there.
