11ty is my favorite! cross-platform, good defaults, built-in tag support, and just generally good learning curve.

that little right-angle in the corner is an alignment mark for the cutter and I didn't want to get too close to it.

it's pretty good for this specific purpose. it has an open source inkscape plugin written in python for it, so I don't need to use proprietary software. however, it also needs printed alignment marks, and it can only read them off a white or red background; I've tried printing on green paper and it was not happy with it. I can work around it by gluing a black and white alignment border around the page, but that cuts down on the usable area slightly.

overall, good for the $50 I paid for it lol

cutting machine is a pre-owned Silhouette Portrait v1 that i got on ebay. i dont have a color printer so these are shaded by hand with an orange marker. art by mikifluffs!

excellent point! at the time I was thinking about fixed-width binary specifically and trying to think of interesting uses for it, but that's a good point.

Steam has joy-con support built in! Depending on the game you want to play, you might be able to get away with two half-controllers.

the ds4 kit I linked is also a usb-c conversion kit! and eXtremeRate also sells replacement sticks, mine are metal now!

My favorite static site generator by far is Eleventy, which you can learn by reading their sample code at eleventy-base-blog. It uses NodeJS which runs on all major platforms, and it generates plain old HTML that you can put on any static host. I played with several of the generators on the Jamstack list, and decided that this is the one I'm most comfortable recommending. It has a very high power-to-effort ratio, you can do some really useful stuff with very little knowledge. I'm using it on my personal site, https://nycki.net/, to automatically generate a "navbar" on every page, plus an RSS feed for my blog. It's also nice for generating "prev/next" links under articles.

unfortunately most controllers with back buttons don't let you re-bind them in the host OS, with the Dualsense Edge being a notable exception. I've bought a Dualsense Edge, and, unfortunately, I can't recommend it. You're paying $80 too much just for 4 extra buttons.

my controller of choice is a pre-owned Sony Dualshock 4 (like $30 on ebay) plus this $30 DIY Back Buttons kit from eXtremeRate. This new and improved kit allows you to save up to 6 different "profiles", so you can have different mappings for different games. the mappings are saved on the controller itself, however, it won't sync them with Steam. and they don't function as "function buttons", they're limited to acting as a "clone" of another button on the controller.

at first I was unsatisfied with this -- what's the point, if I can't use all eight face buttons and both stick clicks and four more back buttons, all at the same time, right? except... in hours of playtime, I've never run into a situation where that mattered. Most games either keep your thumbs on the sticks, in which case you can have the back buttons act as ABXY, or else you keep your thumbs on the face buttons, in which case the stick clicks and trigger clicks are available. plus you have the touchpad click, which really is a separate button that Steam recognizes.

I've never had any problems using this controller with linux. as far as the OS is concerned, it's just a ps4 controller, and the support for those is quite good.

indie target audience should read "a second, equally beautiful transgender"

otherwise this is good

using an android phone running retroarch, an 8bitdo Zero Two wireless controller, and this 3D printable mount https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5998094 .

works pretty good for gb/gbc titles, and its much smaller than other controller attachments! I've been using it for some gba stuff too, like Game and Watch Gallery 4 or Pokemon: Too Many Types, which don't require the L/R buttons.

if this makes you want to buy a controller, I recommend the 8bitdo Micro, which is the same size but with two extra buttons.
