Real joy is playing characters in old fighters with no truly good anti airs and having to rig together a meaningful anti-air gameplan out of a box of scraps in a cave

remote work is like birth control or UBI atp where there’s overwhelming research consensus they improve quality of life for people they apply to, yet access is impeded or blocked by the ruling class because the thought of marginalized ppl having rich full lives makes steam come out their ears

2. Rolling Stone is owned by a large media conglomerate, which is ending remote work across its brands.

My home is Portland, Oregon, ~1,000 miles from the nearest office, so this marks the end of the line for me at RS.

Well the d-pad works for absolutely everything *except* getting to that back button lol, like it can control the game, it can navigate the rest of that options menu screen. Just can’t doesn’t go down to the back button.

Ash Wednesday @ashwednesday.bsky.social · 1d

Okay I have made some troubleshooting progress!

D-pad inputs can't navigate to the UI back button

Only analog stick inputs can

Ash Wednesday @ashwednesday.bsky.social · 1d

The inability to navigate to the UI back button seems like an actual bug, the controller button might be because of how the default mappings can be pretty random on different controls, and might just be fixed if you eventually add remapping, cause it's possible I just don't have a B button mapped

Ash Wednesday @ashwednesday.bsky.social · 1d

I can scroll up and down through the options but it stops at game speed and won't navigate to the back button lol

Ash Wednesday @ashwednesday.bsky.social · 1d

Yeah in terms of reporting the specific circumstances, I was using a controller with a Brook Universal Board (I think in Xbox mode), and it completely worked for actual gameplay, but in the options menu I both could not navigate to the UI back button and no button seemed to be mapped to backing out

Foolish Earthlings! demo from @ppu512.bsky.social is immediate, visceral fun

It feels novel to me while also coming across as a loving tribute to some classic American arcade games (you can think of it as reverse-Defender by way of Rampage)

But I don't know how to back out of the options menu lol
