This looks great. I was thinking about buying an Android ebook reader and a bluetooth keyboard in order to cobble together something like this for myself. But if this is less than the cost of an ebook reader by itself, that’s even better.

I’m more than happy to jump over to whichever side is winning. Got my Andromeda flag ready to fly as soon as things start leaning in their favor.

A homemade RISC-V fightstick? This is combining all of my favorite things! I bought a leverless controller recently (an SGF Bridget).

I’m only vaguely familiar with microcontrollers, but I know there are libraries out there for using an Arduino to make a mechanical keyboard or fightstick. Is there something similar for the CH32V305?

That is very cool, I hadn’t heard of that before. I have never done anything with a microcontroller, but I’m thinking about it for RISC-V. It sounds like that might be one of the better ways of getting a RISC-V device in practical use, until more software packages become available for a full Linux machine.

Wow, thanks! That’s fantastic. I hadn’t even thought about the fact that Docker images will have to be recreated for RISC-V, but it sounds like some of the most important parts of the stack are useable already. Nice to see that nginx works – I was leaning towards moving my blog to a RISC-V SBC, and it’s just a static HTML site.

That looks so cool. I was completely unaware that there were desktop motherboards with RISC-V CPUs. I thought they were all still SBCs.

Yeah, it came out in January! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1372460/AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA_Remastered/

I’m not sure what the development process was like – they were calling it a sequel for a while before then changing it to a remaster. The reviews suggest that a lot was changed from the original. I kind of want to get it anyway.

They’re late to the party anyway. The first 25-tuple-A game was released in 2009, and it’s an indie gem. Got a remaster just a couple months ago, even. https://store.steampowered.com/app/15520/AaAaAA__A_Reckless_Disregard_for_Gravity/

Seeing Bea Arthur’s name reminds me of this clip that someone might enjoy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzYrKrYbaSo

Man: Origins was good. But don’t forget about Man: Legends and Man: Raving Rabbids.

Preach 👏 it 👏 louder 👏

(But like, for real, though.) I certainly don’t feel bad for Reddit when the CEO says he intends to use that forum’s users to train AIs, and then every comment turns into some “please upvote me” catchphrasey nonsense. Hopefully, whoever buys training data from them receives nothing of value.
