Tell me about glue please: How do you connect a microcontroller that conditionally executes code in different languages over USB serial on a typical desktop distro?
  • Yup, pretty much this. I have a small touchscreen Arduino device that I keep plugged into my PC. When I hit a button on the touchscreen it sends some text over serial (which is really a USB wire). I have a Python script on the PC that continuously reads from the serial port and parses the received data to figure out what to do. Specifically it tells my Discord bot to play a sound :)

  • Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of July 21st
  • Been working on Elden Ring Seamless Co-op with some friends - actually two groups, but one plays intermittently so I fork my character to another slot every time. Trying to get my SO to play PlateUp but not much luck there. Also playing Hades Star on mobile but it just makes me want to play EVE hahaha.

  • Seriously it's good now
  • It refused to lock on almost since release. It can only be fired when locked on. Then they claimed to fix that but it crashed your game when there were multiple targets anywhere in the reticle. Some weeks ago they actually fixed it.

  • Weekly what have you been playing discussion - week of July 1st, 2024
  • I tried Hammerwatch for about 45 minutes and came away bored, unfortunately.

    I picked up.Bloons TD 6 but it just triggers all my mobile game micro transaction alerts.

    I finished Dredge - it was about the right length for the gameplay loop for me. I had a good time with it on my steam deck.

  • Looking for spear bile titan 1-shot instructional gif

    Some time ago I saw a gif from someone with what looked like a Japanese username. It was a gif of the spear doing 1-shot kills on bile titans and it had little lines showing how to line up the dot and the triangle relative to the launcher muzzle to hit the titan in the head.

    I can't find it now. Does anyone know where to find it? Frankly I think it was buried in a reddit comment thread but I just lurk over there these days.

    Edit: found it, it’s https://www.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/comments/1cu0ewh/comment/l4fggwq/ or https://imgur.com/a/ptvdcvf which is too large to post directly.

    Where does the x platinum per 8 minutes figure come from?

    I see forum feedback on Plague Star saying that it needs to be more efficient than 4? 12? plat (I forget if it is 4 or 12) per 8 minutes. Where does that figure come from?
