  • That’s a big deal then. So far I’m not aware of any controllers that have all of the following:

    • Analogue triggers
    • Gyro input
    • Back buttons
    • Xbox layout (preferred)

    The dual shock is close, but no back buttons and not my prefered layout. All the Nintendo clones have digital triggers, and almost none have gyro input that steam can use. This will make 8bit the best possible Steam Deck companion until a proper Steam Controller 2 comes out.

    Edit: This would also add the ability to map extra buttons to new functions instead of a duplicate of the buttons that already exist. I’m waiting to hear the details but I’ll likely buy one if all this is true because I haven’t seen anything else offering this level of functionality.




  • I still have it and I can’t get off it because my whole flow depends on a feature that no other launcher seems to have.

    I have all my apps in folders, but the folders when tapped will launch the first app in the folder. If I swipe up on them the folder opens.

    So for exameple I have what looks like a Camera icon. If I tap it Camera opens as expected, but if I swipe up on it all my photo related apps are there. It allows me to keep a simple easy to use home screen but then all my apps are grouped underneath. It’s awesome and the best feature Nova ever made.










  • Those basic safe driving techniques are based on ideal conditions. Take the three second lead for example, that’s on dry roads with good visibility. You wouldn’t follow that close if it was icy, because now your reaction time is not going to be enough, you have less control over the road so you must increase your follow distance.

    Driving drunk is the same, your reaction time is now slower so again three seconds isn’t enough. You don’t have the same control over your body and alertness, so you need to drive even slower and more cautiously.

    Now you’re the odd one out. Your overly cautious driving will confuse the people driving around you because it’ll be less predictable and odd. They’ll try to pass you causing the chance of accidents to increase.

    This is long winded, but the point is you simply aren’t at your prime when you’re driving impared. Be it high, drunk, sleep deprived, etc, you shouldn’t on the road in that state as you increase the risk for everyone else. I urge you to reconsoder before you hurt yourself or someone else.
