Eskating cyclist, gamer and enjoyer of anime. Probably an artist. Also I code sometimes, pretty much just to mod titanfall 2 tho.

Introverted, yet I enjoy discussion to a fault.

  • Immersion, yes, but also haptics provide feedback.

    Lots of games use it to tell you things, like when your health is low, when to time something, when you took damage vs blocked successfully, when you’re close to a secret…

    Used right, it’s another sensory input channel in addition to sound and visuals.

    One of the biggest genres that I use a controller for, because I consider KBM to be unplayable for it, is racing games. And there haptics are used to tell you TONS about what is happening in the game.





  • Other way around. Pure and Pulse were PSP first, then PS2 and later PS3.

    The PS2 port of Pulse is graphically superior, and can be run using PCSX2. HD has the same content.

    Instability might be due to shader translation, should go away as more shaders are compiled and cached.

    Vita3k for 2048 runs very well (with compilation stutters only at first), and you can get the HD and Fury DLC for it to access the PS3 content (though with lesser graphics).


  • Are you seriously suggesting that more advanced propulsion and suspension systems would eliminate the need for traction?

    Have you ever ridden a bike on just the rims?

    It sucks. And I don’t mean just in terms of comfort. There’s a reason mountain bikes with the most advanced suspension systems still need soft knobbly tires in addition to their suspension systems to do what they do.

    Trains and trams are far more efficient large scale transport options, but cars and smaller personal transport options like scooters and bicycles have their place, too. Despite our current over-reliance on them, they aren’t useless. There are use-cases where they are the best option. The same goes for the tire.

    The compliant tire is the best option for an off-rails vehicle. No, suspension cannot replace it, not in terms of cost (and I don’t mean money, I mean materials and energy) and especially not in terms of functionality.

    That’s not how wheels work.

    You can’t just ignore traction and claim you can make an effective vehicle of any kind with materials that don’t wear if only sufficiently advanced propulsion and suspension were applied.

    Even on skateboards, warehouse vehicles, and similar, the wheel isn’t just a solid cylinder of metal or some other non-compliant low-wear material.

    It’s a hard hub, wrapped in plastic, or rather, polyurethane. A compliant grippy material that serves a very important purpose in improving the performance of the wheel. You can’t replace a compliant wheel material with somehow better suspension. You still need it for grip, even on perfectly flat surfaces.

    Trains make up for their low traction (and therefore high efficiency) with slow steady acceleration/deceleration and extreme weight. Their design principles cannot be applied to personal vehicles, which do serve their own purposes.


  • I have no clue what could be causing that. I’d start looking into each link in the chain and making sure it’s working.

    But any halfway reasonable config should be able to handle audio playback, no matter how lossless. Audio-only just doesn’t achieve datarates that would choke up… Anything.

    Essentially, benchmark file transfers, transcoding, etc. Make sure each step of how it works is in fact working. Check drive SMART health… Whatever you can think of.

    Also logs. No need to read through thousands of lines, but looking at the lines time stamped around when the issue occurs is always a good idea. FFMPEG logs, JF logs, client player logs, does SMB or whatever network drive protocol you’re using have logs? If it does, check em.



  • Yes. Nine months is long enough for stuff to potentially be broken due to changes in matrix or discord.

    Even if you don’t care about double puppeting, I was referring to the fact that out of your element doesn’t do puppeting. At all.

    As in no DMs or discord account log in. All it does is mirror chat rooms onto matrix, allowing matrix users to join them. It does not link to your existing discord account in any way.


  • I use mautrix. It creates a matrix space where all your discord stuff goes, and within that it will create spaces for each server you manually choose to bridge.

    DMs also go into a DMs space. DMs are bridged automatically, but each server you want has to be added with a command.

    Looking at those three, appservice is old, and out of your element does not do puppeting (meaning it bridges discord-matrix chat rooms, rather matrix-discord accounts), making mautrix the best option IMO.

    If you are looking to make a discord server you run accessible on matrix, out of your element may be better.

    For using your own discord account through matrix, mautrix is the obvious choice.
