    Quick followup, I just played part of the Youkai Rampage demo from Steam and it was a pretty good experience. I seem to remember the enemies being a little more vivid on the PS4 but the controls feel responsive. The only issue I had was the first boss:

    it seems to be the same boss from the first game.

    I quit playing after that because I ran out of time. I’ll continue to work through the demo and see how I like it before I decide to make a purchase. I do wish it were available on the Xbox. I have Soul Eater on my PS4 but I play the Xbox much more often.

    I’ve got a little MSI box with 16GB of RAM, 500GB SSD, and a quad core i3 running Proxmox. Home Assistant is in its own VM, I have a VM for a bastion host/jump box of sorts for a client’s network (yes, I know VPNs exist), and then a VM running a few Docker containers: CheckMK, Dozzle, Uptime Kuma, and The TP-Link Omada Controller software. I intend to migrate those to Podman eventually.

    On my desktop in Podman, I’m running Dashy, Redlib, and Dozzle regularly. Sometimes I run other services but those are pretty persistent. I use Podman on my local machine for my development work and it’s just handy to have Redlib and Dashy right here.

    I tend to interact with things via SSH unless it’s a webshit.





  • I’ve been enjoying the GameSir G7 for a while. It’s wired but I kind of prefer that. My first G7 had a faulty left stick in the first two months. I think it was faulty from the beginning but I just didn’t notice it. I sent them a video of the issue and they replaced it outright.

    It’s a bit smaller than my Xbox elite controller and it feels pretty great. I like the clicky dpad and the two back buttons. Stick tension is nice as well.

    I’d like to see trigger stops but they haven’t done that yet. I’d also like to have clicky face buttons so I’m considering one of their khaleid controllers. Those are minor nitpicks, though. This controller has been terrific.
