PSA: If your controller rumble isn't working in Silksong, then try forcing Proton in the game's properties on Steam (sh.itjust.works)

I verified that my controller's rumble worked fine, yet I had no controller rumble in Silksong. I fixed it by forcing Proton 9.0-4 in Silksong's settings:

  1. Navigate to: Steam Library>Silksong>right-click>Properties>Compatibility
  2. Check "Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool"
  3. Select "Proton 9.0-4" from the dropdown.

It seems that Silksong has inherited the same controller rumble issue as Hollow Knight with the native build ^[1]^.

What license(s) do you recommend, and/or not recommend, for open source hardware, and why? (sh.itjust.works)

I'm uncertain if the GPLv3 ^[1]^, or something from Creative Commons ^[3]^, like the CC-BY-SA ^[2]^ license, would be appropriate for open source hardware. I've come across the CERN-OHL-S ^[4]^, which appears interesting, but I've never encountered it in the wild, so I'm wary of it's apparent obscurity.

[…] ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine […]

I'll be honest, I don't really understand this one. I'd guess that this is likely some hold over grudge from COVID, but I don't really understand why it's still a concern to get, presumably, more open access to those drugs. Aren't we long past that conversation? Feels like beating a dead horse.

I'm glad that it seems like the war on drugs is showing cracks. I completely support a move to legalize psychedelics.
