Pixel 8 Pro Screen Dying

long story short:

my phone fell down more than one year ago, a small pool of black pixel originated near the impact point.

the phone was fine like this for 7 months where the pool got larger slightly but without any major issue. recently the pool got way bigger and the screen was bleeding at lower screen brightnesses making the contrast really bad forcing me to use at least half to full brightness to make it usable

yesterday the screen started having more serious issues like the one shown in the video, applying a small amount of pressure on the black spot restore the contrast but sometimes makes the screen almost completely dark. yesterday i got something similar while watching a video and the screen got full white without any input.

it seems something at least partially about the screen connector (maybe?) but i dont know for sure and i dont know if i have the tools to fix it anyway

what do you guys think? it is repairable? i've paid the phone used like 450 bucks more than two years ago so a lot of official repair options seems unreasonable to me

best value "hitbox" controller right now

i've not played fighting games for a while (i think it has been like 3 years) and at that time there were basically no cheap alternative for an hitbox, like everything decent was more than 100/150 bucks

the situation was so bad that i ended up making my own controller with wood and sanwa buttons

i was wondering if the market opened up a little bit now and there are like really good alternatives right now at a reasonable price point

i cant understand production/"actual" rust

i LOVE rust and i understand a fair amount of it, even some mid-high level stuff (i'm not a dev, i've studied physics but i like CS a lot) every time i interact or write std:: rust everything is fine and beautiful and clean

the issues start when i try do to actual work with rust and use external dependencies and crates, everything falls apart and i cant do anything

maybe because with the rust book etc... there is such good documentation for learning the core of rust but then even for relatively big library there is very little content online for learning

i dont know what i want to obtain from this post, i guess maybe some suggestions on how to learn these stuff alone, idk if someone has a similar experience with it

I've played a lot of yugioh in my childhood (i stopped played as soon as synchro monster were introduced) but obviously my deck was random and i had no strategy

I want to try to at least learn how to actually play but I dont want to spend money (at least for now)

I know that there are some PC official games (Master Duel and Duel Links) but i dont know what people actually play to simulate the real game

and i also know that there are like unofficial simulators (similar to what PokemonShowdown is for comp pokemon) but I dont know what is THE one people prefer
