Curious to try, but small space?

Hello! I've recently been thinking about what it'd be like to have a sleeping solution which I can roll up, easily take out to air, and so forth. I've also been having troubles sleeping onto my budget ikea slats. So I'm looking to try out floor sleeping with my normal (already rather thin) mattress, and see if I truly vibe with it.

My main issue is that my room is pretty small. I'm in the middle of decluttering, but I still find it though to find a space in which to comfortably lay out something.

The last couple of nights, I simply moved my bed framw to the side, threw an old blanket onto the floor, and pushed all of my mattress onto it. I definitely feel like I had less trouble sleeping, but you can image how messy and cramped a small room looks like with a bedframe shoved in the middle of the way, as my head almost lays down under my desk lol.

I was wondering, do you think I should try an MDF base for my bedframe, as an alternative to slats? Or should I just look into eliminating it eventually?

Lift note mode for gamepads?

Hello! I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to enable lift notes for playing on non-strumming (all taps) controllers, such as a normal gamepad. Many thanks in advance!

Don't sleep on the new gamepad mode!

Hello! Giving my opinion as someone who always steered clear of Clone Hero because I never owned nor I intend to own a guitar controller. Recently picked up the game again when I heard talk of the new gamepad mode, and I can say it's officially a blast!

Here are my couple of tips, as a newbie:

  • It works best with controllers that have triggers the same running length as bumpers. Think PS2 controllers. I think it's basically called having digital triggers, although I don't know how many controllers pack them nowadays.
  • If you're coming from other rhythm games, you may want to try and change the default mapping, in order to have the yellow lane under your thumb (basically, from left to right: RT - RB - A - LB - LT). I've played my fair share of BMS/Beatmania style games, and I'm just used to having my thumb press a central lane. I went from barely passing hards to clearing experts because my brain simply needed the shift.

Kakuno and drying ink: probably not as scary as you think!

Hello! I know this probably relates to the humidity and other climate factors of one's country, but since I've often seen people scared to put anything inside of their pilot kakuno that isn't a very watery solution, I wanted to share my experience.

I've left Diamine Forever Ink inside of my pen for almost two months; life got busy, and I barely had time to sit down and let my thoughts - and my ink - flow out. I expected to have a very rowdy time with getting my kakuno working again, considering the Diamine Forever is pigmented ink; but in reality, all it took was a gentle dip of the nib in water, and it started writing again as soon as I placed it on paper! :)

Come affrontate la nebbia mentale post-burnout?

Buongiorno a tutte e tutti,

sono da mesi ormai che fatico ad aprire un libro, sebbene ami quello che studio. Ho superato una manciata di esami nella sessione invernale a fatica, per inerzia. A tre settimane dal primo esame estivo, devo ancora aprire un libro - e avrei cinque date in programma.

Avete consigli, opinioni? Sento la fatica di dovermi laureare entro dicembre, con molti esami ancora sulle spalle, e mi sembra di avere la mente come in un continuo stato catatonico.

28M | Italy | Looking for friends!

Hello, all! I'm looking for like-minded, cozy people to chat with. Life's keeping me a little busy, but I would nonetheless be happy to find time to chat and play a few games.

Generally speaking I'm into music, crafting, visual arts, stationery; I have a soft spot for indie videogames & older hidden gems. I own a 3DS and play a decent amount of Animal Crossing: New Leaf. I also love hearing my friends yap about what they're passionate about :> More broadly speaking, I'm also interested in simple living, anti-consumerism and minimalism (if you're looking to share your excitement about labubu or trading cards mystery packs, I'm probably not the right person!).

I almost forgot! A few of my favorite franchises are Silent Hill, Persona and Nier.

My DMs are open! Possibly people in my (25-35) range of age. Please, **do not interact if** you're purposefully immature, against queer people, a techbro, or someone looking for a romantic relationship.

P.s. I'm open to be invited in groups, but only if they're small and active. Getting thrown into a big discord server is just off-putting to me. Byee ⸜(。˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝

Couch multiplayer with normal gamepads: Stepmania or Clone Hero?

Hello all! I've recently found it very fun to play a few rhythm games with family and friends, on the couch, just to chill around.

We don't really have the budget to commit to dedicated controllers or pads, so what I'm asking is: which one do you think would be more fun, for casuals, to pick up and play with a normal controller?

I'm picking either Stepmania or Clone Hero because I doubt I can simply throw Camellia or kors k at people and expect them to bop their head – hence why a song with many custom pop charts would be ideal.

Chipped connector? Should I consider a USB-C mod?

Hello all! I genuinely don't know when this happened, but I recently noticed a chipped dent off of the side of my AC connector on my Vita 1000. I've been using an after-market cable (one of those stupidly tight ones - OEM are sadly incredibly hard to find) and I can't help but wonder if it's tugging too hard at the connector, when taking it out (I do it slowly, but still).

Does anyone know how though it'd be to solder a USB-C modkit on the board?

Hello! I'm a university student that got a bit too tired with the whole zettelkasten hype. Since discovering I can have text search in Gnome's file manager, I realized I didn't need much more than a markdown editor.

However, I deal with visual imagery on the daily, essential to my studies. Is there a simple, no-frills GTK markdown editor that can display images whenever some sort of preview mode is enabled? Thanks in advance!

▲ 8 r/3DS

I own both a New3DS and a 2DS (brick), the latter as a spare backup in case my New3DS breaks. Sometimes, however, I see a decent offer for another system online, and I get heavily tempted - my stupid brain takes control and I start thinking that a 2DS might not "be enough" as a substitute to the N3DS (my fav model), and I just mentally spiral.

The truth, however is that I don't want to overclog my life and my house with things left unused. A spare one feels more than adequate already. Do you have any other techniques, or things you say to yourself to stop the buying impulse?
