I’ve had the same problem with my Xbox controllers on Cachy. The xone repo had an issue about the controllers not working after sleep until the dongle is physically re-plugged, and it got closed for some reason.
I think the codebase owner is as frustrated as I am, and I’ll admit I have no driver knowledge, but it’d be great if someone could find a solution.
Funny story.
Indications were he shouldn’t have recovered; and he was surprisingly positive, showing resilience to his disability and thinking about how he might continue life as a poet.
But, his sister, a dark mage, was far more mortified about it than he was, and made a magical sacrifice, killing some creature and draining her own lifespan - to restore his full motion. All of this, without asking his permission. He turns out okay, but there’s an implication he shouldn’t have.
So yeah, it’s part of a dramatic arc in that story.
The thrown into a wall thing had a nice subversion in Dragon Prince, mostly a kids show. A primary character, a knight, is batted by a dragon into a rock before being chased off. As they finish, they go to check on him, and he’s been permanently paralyzed from the neck down.
Similarly but even more nerdy is a car making one swerve on dirt, that requires switching traction control off. Top Gear did a bit on it where they were hired to record a chase scene for a movie, and insisted on the following shot;
“You have to hold the mode button for ten seconds to turn off Traction Control!”

It’s total happenstance that the best stories told in those worlds have come from game developers. Making those stories interactive as well as cinematic is an entire extra layer of difficulty upon the creative process, and they cleared that hurdle too.
Jedi Survivor even made the struggle of staying human, confronting anger (and the dark side), and the fight for survival far more nuanced and well-written than the third trilogy did.
The last Star Wars movie I enjoyed was Jedi: Survivor.
Ironically, the last Indiana Jones movie I enjoyed was Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.
I need to verify this, but I vaguely remembered you’re supposed to be able to exit these safely in two clicks maximum, though they sometimes obscure it.
Usually, it’s something like “Customize” then “Save” without checking anything, or just “Reject All”.
I actually feel like Arc Raiders has helped with this a bit.
I’m very distrustful of anyone who signals peaceful intent with nothing but an emote line. If people use voice comms, it shows a modicum of social openness, and helps humanize them. More often than not, people end up chatting about threats they’ve seen or where there’s useful loot.
There’s even a famous clip of a guy breaking open a bot who gets shot at, and he defuses the situation by yelling at the shooter that he expects better of him, and that they’re all just trying to get by.
Dead by Daylight is funniest. It’s already a game about terrifying horror, but then for Halloween they add a lot of silly spooky pumpkin-related event deco and mechanics.
I uploaded some now slightly-outdated versions of the first few chapters to Royal Road.

Writing, or rather written, a book, but it’s hard to find interested literary agents. So, I’m working on a complicated plan to leverage an audience for self publishing.
I suppose I’m implying such an assassination is how the book opens, but it mostly just translates to a shift in the way warfare is conducted - fewer battle lines, more war of information.
The fictional world I’m building is at an interesting point. For decades, a few people have held most of the magical power and control, thus dominating entire battlefields. But firearms have just been refined to precision, meaning a good sniper can take down one of these mages in a surprise shot in one go. No sudden “spider sense” escape buttons.

Because you can’t overthink if your heart stops.
I think this is the goal of most true “adventurer” tropes. The moniker is genericized and relates to someone who gets in a lot of fights now, but its original meaning is someone that I picture is eager to explore new lands, with nary a luxury to them, relying on the kindness of people he meets, and exchanging useful tricks and information he’s come across.
IT,
Thank you for replying to my ticket. Unfortunately, the key word in your recommendation appears to be censored. Could you take a look at the safety filter and try again?
For those who, for whatever reason, can’t risk piracy, library services are another option.
On top of rented DVDs, many offer streaming services that are ad-free and tend to have some good options.
I get the impression they were also preparing for a potential freak discovery where it turns out zero G has an extreme effect on the menstrual cycle, and they suddenly need a lot of them.
You might find this fun: Indie title ‘Terror of Hemasaurus’ is a Rampage clone, where you the monster are summoned by a cult that hates the whole world for its ignorance of climate change and wants you to force them into action.
