@joostruis you could stop using X11 today, couldn't you? Can't the rest of us keep doing so if we want? And live in peace and harmony?
@pmidden @tomncooper it’s possible that mouse support was a faff to set up. I can’t remember if you needed a DOS driver loaded first. And/or if you could configure independent axis sensitivity
This was kinda snarky and no offense was intended for people who worked on the doom reissue (several of whom are friends)
@pmidden @tomncooper Doom supported Mouse from day 1. I think keyboard-only was popular in the early days, so some elitists call out mouse players, but Romero reportedly was a mouse player.
The situation today is entirely flipped: it turns out they deleted turn left/right in 2005 or so with the xbox360 port, and haven't put them back in yet!
I happen to prefer keyboard only for vanilla doom, but I'm probably in the minority.

TIL I learned about openrss, a service which can export a Mastodon instance’s local timeline over rss. HTTPS://openrss.org - why doesn’t Mastodon do this already? Hopefully it’s on their roadmap. So far, I’m following infosec.exchange. It doesn’t appear to be set up for functional.cafe or wandering.shop, the other two I tried.
@lproven @JulietEMcKenna @cstross @scalzi adding @jasonsanford to my personal SF people list, but I can’t see (yet) whether he’s posted much on fedi yet
@lproven @cstross @JulietEMcKenna @scalzi Thanks! I remember to check Bluesky once in a blue-er, moon… shame that's where the momentum seems to be going, for that sub-culture at least. (At least one other sub-culture I participate in has bet the farm on Threads. I don't want to see the same mistakes repeated)
@tomncooper I think gamepad is acceptable. You can *just* bind all the essentials to the SNES controller's number of buttons for example.
@pwaring plus stuff like… should I have tinzaparin for more than 11 days? If not, I'm still non-weight bearing, so, what do I do? etc
@pwaring Thank you. GP hasn't issued this stuff at all yet, hospital did on discharge. So they're at the "what the hell is this" phase of evaluating my request :)
@lproven I think you're a good person to ask this. Can you recommend any fediverse accounts to follow in the SF community? not so much authors (those welcome too). Examples I have are InterzoneMag@mastodon.online . Other mags, or community hubs? Thanks for your time.
Current status: asking GP for repeat meds, but don't know how long for, because I've no idea when my follow up with surgeon is, and their line goes to a voicemail.
@tomncooper I was thinking of asking our former office mates whether anyone had one they wanted to pass on. Or is the OLED model worth it? truly not sure whether I'd play it mostly portable or mostly docked (or mostly gathering dust knowing me)
@tomncooper the number of times I wish I bought a Steam Deck in the last 8 weeks is… more than one
Launched doom remaster on pc. Realised the arrow keys aren’t bound to turn left/right. Realise you CANNOT bind turn left/right to keyboard keys. Close in disgust.
@jamesh @Conan_Kudo @sortova @jzb @popey my recollection (perhaps wrong) is the anti-mono stuff was all in the GTK2 era, disenfranchising devs, which could explain a lack of momentum behind GTK bindings maintenance in the Mono stack (or could just be my idle speculation)
