I just hope it's natural traffic and not a ton of bots. The recent acceleration in signatures has been great to see, but also a bit... suspicious. In any case we should keep collecting as many signatures as possible after the million, as there will undoubtedly be fake/invalid signatures that will be filtered out at the end.

Their settings are adjusted on a firmware bases by pressing different buttons together on the controller.

That's also the case on newer 8bitdo controllers to be fair. You don't have to use the software often but when you do, it's indeed a pain.

Yes, proprietary software on Windows or Android. It gets even more "fun" though, as you need to use different software for different controllers. The "8bitdo Firmware updater" works for controller like the Pro 2, but if for example you have the Ultimate 2 you need the "8Bitdo Ultimate Software 2" instead. That thing will also crash if you have any other 8bitdo device plugged in. So yeah.

Remapping controls, like using the sticks to control the mouse etc.

Should be the ability to freely remap their controls using the Steam Input interface. They've always worked on Deck as regular XInput devices.

I could see the argument for large file sizes, but tiny games like Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 also get released as key cards. I could see the argument for key cards being an improved replacement for "download code in a box" releases, but those are still a thing on Switch 2 regardless.

The 8bitdo Ultimate 2 is pretty close to an XBox controller and it has a gyro. The problem is that while the gyro works great on Switch, it's severely limited on PC, as it can only emulate the right stick with very few settings. The Steam Input update could potentially fix that, but I haven't tested it yet.

I have 3 of their controllers. All excellent hardware-wise but a bit shit when it comes to their software. Don't think you'll even be able to do this firmware update on Linux. Curious to see how well the Steam Input support works in any case, especially whether it includes gyro.

I don't think so. They've stated that it's not worth it for them to maintain two separate versions of firefox on iOS, with one only being available in the EU.

So we should just stop development on technology if it's too hard? Maybe stop attempting nuclear fusion as well? That has also been going on for decades.

I disagree. A viable quantum computer would be a gigantic technological breakthrough of a kind we haven't seen in a long time.

Monster Hunter. Probably tried like 4 of those games since Tri and people keep recommending them to me, saying the newest one will surely be the one to convince me. But I found them all to be a boring grind.
