Rules and Guidelines

1. No BigotryIncluding racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia.

2. Be CivilArgue in good faith, attack the argument; not the person, and promote a healthy debate. That includes implying violence, threats or wishes of violence and/or death.

3. No PornThis instance is not made to host porn communities. You're free to access porn communities on other instances through your account, but be mindful of Rule 4.

4. Use the NSFW tagUse your common sense: if you wouldn't want this image to show up on your work computer, tag it as such. In comments, use the
spoiler ::: tag for NSFW images, and put a NSFW mention beside links. Do not use NSFW images as your avatar or banner. :::
5. No Ads / SpamThis instance is not there to act as your billboard. If you want to promote your personal work, at least make the effort to be a contributing member of this community. Your account purpose shouldn't be to only advertise, make it natural.

6. Bot accountIf you are the operator of a "bot" account, make sure to flag is as such in the account's settings.

7. Right to privacyDo NOT distribute the personal information of someone else without their consent (aka doxxing). Information that is public domain can be shared, provided it is in good faith.
ex: The official email of an elected official is fair, the private phone number or the real name of a non-public person is NOT.

8. Report abuseThe report function isn't labelled the disagree button. You might not agree with someone, but that doesn't mean what the person says is against the rules. Using it repeately in this fashion will lead to actions being taken against the reporter.

9. ImpersonationDon't make an account with the intent to negatively deceive or defame someone on the fediverse.
ex: Parody of a famous person is okay, submitting outrageous content as appearing like another user, mod or admin isn't.

Cases, docks, controller, usb dongles, etc. Anything you use to improve your deck experience that isn't the deck itself.

PSN Is Still Down After 24 Hours And No One Knows Why (Update: Itโ€™s Back)

PSNSony Update: As of 7 PM EST, a full 24 hours later, PSN is back online with no explanation from Sony. Sometimes only pieces go down, but this is a full outage. That was 11 hours ago and there have been no updates since then. That is very unlikely to be whatโ€™s happening here today, even if the outage is quite long. Even other games are chiming in about the outage at this point. Hopefully PlayStation will either fix the problem or at least give a status update soon. Hopefully the service will be fully restored and Sony will say something soon. ๐Ÿ–Š๏ธ๏ธ๐Ÿค–

The mouSTer project โ€“ 30.12.2024 UPDATE

Weโ€™ve had to go through many issues to manufacture a fresh and updated batch. After all, Willy decided to invest in some hardware and move the production process to his home However, Willy finally figured it all out, and here are some pics. This time, we will ship all the mouSTers with the 3D printed cases. Heโ€™d also made a very cool adapter for PS/2 mice which is similar to the mouSTer. Final wordsThe mouSTer will be available via my website and re-sellers shop on eBay I will start shipping it in January and the first batch is around 200 units. The mouSTer hopefully will stay available for a long time, although short outages might occur. ๐Ÿ–Š๏ธ๏ธ๐Ÿค–
