Atmosphere is one thing, but not being able to see anything in the game without having to play in a completely dark room is another thing. Skyrim got it right, the dungeons are dark but you can see without issues, even in a well-lit room. And then there are the people who install mods that make the nights pitch black.

Thank you for providing that link.

I think I know about kotaku for 15 years now, but I can’t remember any instance where they published an article that was worth reading. It is another instance of wasted resources that can only exist because not enough people are using adblock.

Why do you need SISR for this? If he game is receiving input from the real stream controller (as you wrote), why not just disable SISR and go along with that?

Anyway, what you can try is to disable one of the controllers in the “Game Controllers” section of control, as outlined here: https://github.com/AntiMicroX/antimicrox/wiki/Methods-for-Disabling-Joystick-Reading-in-Linux

That website also include some more advanced methods, but I don’t think they will apply to your usecase, unless you want to run SISR as a different user.

This has observed especially with the advent of “robots” for household tasks, e.g. the dishwasher or the washing machine. Before these machines existed, wifes spent about 51 hours per week cleaning the home. After the machines where there, they spent about 52.

I don’t get it.
