I had a cat that used to push things off the coffee table. Anything that rolled, like pens or batteries, would eventually find their way under the couch… to the point where I would look there first if I couldn’t find something.

I remember once stacking spare coins into a pile on the table. He sat there, patiently watching me do it and looked me directly in the eye while his paw pushed them onto the floor again.

It was that moment that made me question his motives. Did he enjoy it the way that a toddler enjoys peek-a-boo? Was it about watching things fall or was the fun in knowing that I would have to clean it up again?

The way he looked at my face while he did made it seem like he enjoyed pissing me off more than anything.

I’ve had a lot of success with Toshy a per application keymapper which runs in the background and does all the heavy lifting automatically.

I suspect KDE because most PC gamers are Windows users and KDE is closer to that while Gnome is closer to macOS (both in design and being restrictive).

For what it’s worth, when I moved from macOS to Linux I found that KDE Plasma customisation made it less frustrating to get the appearance and multitouch gestures closer to what I was missing on a Mac.

Definitely recommend customising plasma per the above advice.

I’ve done the same thing with my steam deck (with White Sur theme) and it’s flexible enough to get fairly close.

Until recently I ran a similar setup with latte-dock on my work laptop and but it’s not worth the hassle - it’s buggy and unmaintained, so I swapped back to icon only task manager.

I’d be interested to know if you use any bindings/plugins for Renoise with steamdeck controls.

I use a headless M8 and run https://derkyjadex.github.io/M8WebDisplay/ in Edge (with launch options for game mode). But I didn’t really put in the effort to try and make Renoise work without a keyboard/mouse.

TIL that aeroplane is commonwealth english.

He does. It’s an old Disney scam where they slightly rename a series to reset contract terms back to first season. Needs to be addressed by all the guilds/unions and crushed!

First game was Safari Race on a Sega SC-3000. After that mainly played PC games when they were a thing and had a 1st gen Gameboy.

I gave up on games and tried to adult through my 20s… but after a bad breakup I bought an Xbox-360 and Skyrim and it’s been a hobby ever since. Can
