Chile, 38, and I've been driving manual all of my life... Well, until a month ago when we finally sold my old trusty 2005 Yaris for a new automatic car so my wife can also drive (my old car was manual and had no drive assistance, it was heavy to turn, and I was the only one in my family that was capable of parallel parking it)

Probably not, I can't inmediately notice it, but you see, games like Ez2On Reboot: R have a very robust customization suite, including timing adjustment and indicators for when you press a key too early or too late. The game combines both features on a single option where you play a song while the game automatically adjusts the delay between your keystrokes and the "target" you're supposed to be hitting. Using that feature, the game added around 3ms window to my keystrokes, and after a couple of game sessions, you can actually feel the game being slightly off-beat (since those kind of games actually play sounds whenever you press a key, your "play" sounds slightly delayed using the rest of the song being auto played by the PC). Also, the early/late counter at the end of each song increases one way or another. Again, it's not immediately noticeable, but you feel something's off and the results screen can confirm it.

I play rhythm games on PC. I use ASIO4ALL to bypass any kind of audio processing being done by my OS to reduce audio latency as much as possible, and I do research before even attempting to buy any monitor. I got a Logitech Z407 for my birthday and even using the audio jack it introduces enough audio lag (~3ms) that I went back to play on wired headphones.

It's not the band, it's the Bluetooth stack. Bluetooth sucks as a standard.

Oh yes!! Of course! Yet another standard!!

(What I learned from Reddit: there's an XKCD for everything.)

I get that on Steam, MacOs was more popular than Linux due to the sheer size of its user base, but how on earth do you play games on a Mac? I got my first MacBook from work AND because it was a work laptop not intended for gaming, but that didn't stop me from installing steam and try... Like a 10% of my Steam library? What?!?! Yeah, I can play Team Fortress 2 and Stardew Valley, maybe some RetroArch for slow working days, but not much else! How was MacOs the second biggest platform on Steam with such a small compatibility list?!

It might have something to do with defederation of some users? I have several Lemmy accounts on big and small instances, and I noticed that I get far more comments on lemmy.world than from smaller instances like feddit.cl

Well, have you seen FOSS fans biting everyone's asses over saying user experience is important and labor should be paid? Yeah, people getting their preferences called out and ridiculed usually causes that. It's like getting into a small subreddit and stirring shit by saying that their collective opinion is wrong.

Before the great Reddit exodus, Lemmy was just an echo chamber for a small subset of like-minded people. Now you get Reddit Lite. Enjoy it!!

I didn't knew Haelian or this 64 Heat situation, but I usually watch speedrun and gaming challenge videos and the impossible max heat video popped up on my feed earlier this week. I gave it a watch and ended up reinstalling Hades just to check out how stupidly hard the challenge was. Not two days after that, the winning run pops in my feed, and the day after I watch Haelian reacting to the run. Somehow, by pure luck, I got to watch a record beaten almost in real time, and the context needed to understand why it was such a huge deal! Kudos to everyone involved!!!
