This is it. Websites like Taobao and 1688 are the Alibaba and Aliexpress for China internally and there is amazing shit on there. I've got a chrome extension that can scan photos to see if they're sold on those sites and I can often find the same clothes at a 10x markup

Thank you for this cognitohazard of a take. We all want people to get better but this would make me wish caner on them harder

A very normal significant achievement for any politician to achieve

I'll acquire it through 'other avenues' but it's worth a revisit

They got better and donated it, right?

I need to rewatch this. There was also a Small Soldiers game that was kind of like a top-down strategy game I played once as a kid and need to find again.

I can't wait for Chinese GPUs with open source drivers to crater nvidia

"Oh no, they hiked up the price of a console no one bought."

"Anyway..."

The lack of rage over this vs the Switch 2 price announcement is telling

This is it! First Anbernic, now these guys. The treatlerite revolt is formenting

The hardest part about any content creation like streaming is consistency. Pick a platform, pick a time, and just try to stream for a couple of hours once a week.

Expect no one to watch for the first 6 months and do things to try get people involved. Use smaller communities like here and discords to find people to play or watch along with you, and things might grow from there.

That bear needs to be more hexaspherical

Welcome to the ranks of parenthood. That first period feels daunting but babies just need to eat and sleep at that age. I used a stopwatch app on my phone to track feeding times so I knew when my boys would be hungry or wake up, but I had twins so it was quite full on

That makes sense. It's a large audience and they'll watch it regardless of rating

What sort of audience are you targeting? Smoking a cigarette could get you an R rating in the US

I'll comment my solution here in case anyone comes across this with a similar problem.

I installed Antimicro, it comes up under slightly different names like AntimicroX but they should all be the same.

I mapped buttons on the controller to the keyboard and it all worked. You just need to map the matching controls in the game to the controller keybinds.

This was perfect for my use case because I bought my boys these controllers:

(They're 2 years old so I don't want to get them good ones.)

These controllers have a few problems with them. First is games and retroarch don't seem to recognise the D-pad inputs like normal, and second is Midtown Madness 2 defaults to a joystick axis for steering and you can't remap this.

Antimicro has fixed these problems by mapping everything to the keyboard, allowed me to play Burnout: Paradise with a controller, and fixed the new problem of trying to play Midtown Madness 2 without analogue sticks.

Antimicro is free and open source for Windows and Linux so it should sort you out on whatever platform you're on. I made my own profile, but you can download existing profiles from the internet as well.

Since this is an old laptop for my kids I don't want to put Steam on there. I found a program called antimicro that translates controller inputs to keyboard keys so I'm going to try that out
