Don’t think Razer software will be that much better. After trying razor I am now on a g502 x lightspeed. I really hope these new switches address the double-clicking issues for good.

Lol the g502x lightspeed is the last piece of Logitech hardware I own. About half the time on wake it gets stuck at 0.5fps. The other day a software/firmware bug made it stop reporting clicks and I had to reboot my PC. It's good hardware but something is very wrong with either the firmware or G-Hub.

Why is all gamer equipment garbage?

Coherent Android back-action behavior is apparently lower priority.

I just tossed my fancy Logitech headset after only 3 years. My kid's mouse was double clicking after less. And G Hub makes Razer's software look like poetry.

I was a die hard Logitech fan since I was a kid. I bought shares.

Done with them.

I'm curious, can a standard Blu-ray drive on a PC rip PS3 games? Or do you need special hardware? I was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to rip PS1 games.

Battlezone '98: One of the first notable RTS/FPS hybrids. You drive hovertanks and you build bases and you command other tanks. Set in a secret live war on the Moon, Mars, and Venus between the USSR and the USA during the cold war.

If you're trying to do it legally, you can easily to rip your own ps1 games with a drive bay. Haven't tried it on PS2 or ps3 games. And ps1 emulation runs amazing on phones and raspberry pis.

So my ps1 emulation collection is pretty legit.

We shall not speak of the other consoles.

I honestly didn't know they still had Google Play Movies and TV still, I'd assumed they'd folded it completely into the YouTube movies brand already.

As a Google Play Music user, I'm retroactively angry. I would've loved that many years of GPM while they worked a couple (not enough) of the kinks out of YTM. And I wish I still had access to Google's music store, since Amazon doesn't sell in Canada and I hate having to install a desktop application to shop at Apple.

Buggywhip salesman demands accomodation from the horseless carriage industry.

Yes, I'm upset at the licenseification of the gaming industry as much as the next guy but that died long before physical media did. As long as a game can die without its first-party servers, games are leased and not owned.

My kid has a Galaxy Tab FE with the stylus and does amazing stuff in Krita on it, and that was pretty cheap.

Yes. Shout it louder for those in the back!

But not too loud or the wrong Google Assistant will hear it and you'll get an incoherent answer muttered from the other room about not being able to do that instead of being answered by the phone in your hand.

This was solved 30 years ago in Star Control 2, with a non-Newtonian Hyperspace that kept vast distances still feeling vast and made fuel important, while in-system travel was still free and newtonian. There are plenty of options between "fast travel all the things" and "1:1 model of the absolute terrifying emptiness of space" -- and even then, the "1:1 model of vast emptiness of space" is still kind of doable, if you're willing to make the hyperdrive flexible for the various increments of in-system/interstellar travel. The hard part actually would be modeling the surfaces of planets in a way that makes the player forced to land at the "interesting" parts of the planet instead of letting them explore the entire surface of boring procedural-generated landscape without making it feel restrictive.
