Say… how far on the dark side of the moon am I living if I never heard about this streamer before? xD
I dabble in coding, linux, gaming, HEMA, LARP, e-mobility, carhacking, simpits and… parenting?

Another good source, that does also not request to login, would be his website at https://www.buildsbybaz.com/ (and his YT channel of course).
That’s odd. This requires to login to watch. Is this a new thing by Vimeo or is that an option from the uploader?
I get the charm of a console for gaming. Just switch it on and go. Still prefer a PC at the end of the day though. For once my preferred genres are very unrepresented on consoles and since I dabble in DIY I do not have that level of freedom on a console or mobile phone. Well, do some extend. Fiddling around with key remappers that hijack on the accessibility system is horrible. Anyway, I enjoy tinkering and this is not really something consoles are known for, no?
This said it is very amazing that I can just e.g. fire up Waydroid nowadays, connect an X360 controller and play AmongUs with the little one on my Linux PC. That level of possibilities is mind boggling.
Quite an impressive list (together with the other posts). And here I thought I was a space nutter (thanks Beyond The Frontier!).
Missing the slug throwers Diaspora: Shattered Armistice and House of the Dying Sun though. The former is an Open Freespace mod in the BSG verse with a great campaign, the latter a rather short but still very nicely done pew pew that shines especially on sound effects (and I guess VR but I didn’t try that). Both do TrackIR though (and I even hacked together an OpenTrack provider for the native Linux version of FSO).
Nice 👌 Was just updating today (a lot, not just SC) and had some serious trouble to get SC running again but in the end it started just fine. No idea what it really was in the end. Tests were inconclusive. Mebbe I should start over with a fresh prefix someday.
I wonder where my 04 install went xD
dunno, it’s for the flowers 🤷
Hope they fix that EAC bug first eventually. I mean currently all Linux PC gamer (or really anyone who killed their EAC) is just… tolerated. That’ll change whenever they flip the switch :-/
This. They are also known as “arcade buttons”. Everything you want to really smash :D
Huh? Rebirth and X4 do run natively, yes.
Minus some details like head tracking but I am needling em about this again and again so there is hope and the workaround is okay-ish 🙃
I even fired up Beyond The Frontier (for the lolz) via Wine and even that worked 🤪
No idea about $$$ and if they even ship to your location but I got my hands on a Backforce One Plus for 500€ and that thing is day and night compared to my last. Arm rests are a little bit wobbly but the rest… dead gods I hope it lasts for the rest of my life.
That’s from someone with a lot of back pain for… reasons.

Haha, this also came to my mind :D
The idea of random bloggers having any impact in 2024 made me laugh. Thanks for that :D

Good to know that the Virpils work. They are totally on my list as a replacement device when my current gives up.
My head tracker did cost me 5 EUR and is made from cardboard 🤓 Any dead cheap webcam can keep up with the required FPS with good settings and a proper filter. I say this in case no Playstation Eye is available any more. The cam is perfect for this, of course.
I attached a quick demo and the more important settings here: https://social.tchncs.de/@bekopharm/108317573758997762
This is how I built it: https://beko.famkos.net/2021/07/08/diy-headtracker-for-gaming-on-linux-pc/
Both. It’s complicated. Wild mix of my trusty X52 Pro, my own virtual joystick written in Rust and AntiMicroX and/or Moltengamepad.
Think you have to configure the sticks on Windows. Don’t think Wine can do this. That’s hearsay though so YMMV. Mine are software anyway or just work™.
TrackIR API works. I demo this here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7n4hwABJFU (it’s also on PeerTube but our instance is bust atm)
TrackIR hardware does not. That’s a blackbox since v5. Tobii hardware does AFAIK not work but this may change any day. Some people started hacking at this again and again.
Also do check out the StarCitizen LUG and the helper scripts: https://github.com/starcitizen-lug/lug-helper
I played “The Expanse” (on Linux PC) and I enjoyed it so much that I didn’t put the controller down for over 6 hours (https://beko.famkos.net/x/1CMPu)
Heh, probably for the better 🤣
