All I want in life is a mouse that invokes the mac App Switcher exactly like the keyboard with no external software.
I finally replaced my g500 after fifteen years. This is ... better, but not there yet. What I want is:
Mouse button down: cmd+tab, release tab.
Mouse button up: release cmd.
Not that hard. It's not entirely logitech's fault, mac blocks this pretty effectively too but it blows my mind that two companies built around slick user interactions can't figure this out.
Tried a Myst-like RP?
I’m wondering if anyone has tried this? I’m using Myst-like as a shorthand for “There is an in-universe mechanism by which a character can be promoted to <user>” and then promoted characters can themselves create cards.
Did it work or turn into a mess eventually? What kind of rules/mechanisms did you have in place? Did this work better or worse with any particular models? Did it come up with interesting ways of telling stories around the particular ruleset? Any good war stories?
What hobbies does your partner have?
I realized that Judy gets two (!) and none of the other three romance options really get any hobbies at all, just careers and families.
And a yacht I guess but sorry “has a yacht” is not a hobby, Kerry.
I had a very specific vision of River taking his truck out antiquing and then restoring vintage furniture in his spare time. Its the jacket right? gotta be. What other hobbies do some of the other characters have that don’t get mentioned in the game?
LXR02 Open Source with wavetables
I’ve got a port of the open source Sonic Potions LXR working on the Erica Synths LXR02. Pretty much everything is in there so that it acts like the old firmware, but the Erica version hardware is quite different. It uses a single Cortex M7 instead of the old M4+AVR design. So basically all the hardware interaction code is new, but the DSP and sequencer code is more or less unchanged and it’s intercompatible with all the 0.37 version files.
I haven’t added much in the way of new front-end features yet other than adding the voice faders and midi control of morph, but I did try to systematize how the sample loading works a bit better, and added some waveform interpolation so you can load a wavetable and not have it go all steppy on you. Bit more of an explainer here:
and I’ll put the code up on GitHub over the weekend but you can get the .img to flash the firmware from here:
it works through Erica’s bootloader, so it’s just “put img in root of the SD, then power on pressing the encoder.” Normal update style, you can switch between this and the Erica Synth version easily. The discord is lobby style, just say hi and I’ll add you so you can see the chat history and stuff.
