I'm not super excited about blurry 50 fps gaming where it takes your $3000 gpu several frames to converge light into a discernible picture. I love how great games got to look but the tradeoffs we took aren't very good imo We need nice baked GI again that runs on a laptop you found behind a dumpster

The Super Mario Sunshine debug room contains a seemingly unassuming barrel that will become extradimensional if Mario slides into it. The barrel will appear to be superimposed onto reality like a PNG badly edited into the image.

how about some good news: new cat just dropped!!!!

a photo of a small, spotted wild cat, with orange fur and brown circular markings, staring up with big golden eyes.

Meet the First New Cat Species Discovered in 100 Years

A small, spotted tiger cat from Bolivia may just be the beginning of a wave of new small cat species.

This 10-year-old male tiger cat is the first of his species (named Leopardus tilcayo) known to science. He is approximately 18 inches from head to end of body and weighs only 3 pounds, making him smaller than the average domestic cat. This video was captured at the Senda Verde Animal Refuge in Bolivia’s Yungas region, where he currently resides.

The whole thing is not 100% finished yet. Still needs some QoL features and proper documentation on how to use, but that shouldnt take long to take care of. Will share more soon!

Unfortunately, due to throughput and packet loss, connecting to the Pico via bluetooth is not suitable for when intending to use gyro. Here my PC is communication with the Pico via a USB-TTL serial adapter, which is connected to the Picos GPIO0 and GPIO1 pins

A raspberry Pico 2W connected to a Switch 2 Dock via USB, and a USB-TTL serial adapter connected to the Pico via GPIO pins.

The serial adapeter has a bright red LED, while the pico has a dim green LED. The serial adapter is connected to a cable leading off screen.

Finally managed to get the gyro working! It took some researching to figure out how the gyro data and other related parameters are formatted, but it's finally working like i intended it to! The mouse translation is not absolutely perfect, but very much usable! Just needs some getting used to...

I still despise the very concept of vibe coding, but I have the daunting feeling that I'll eventually have to start looking into LLMs like perplexity if i want to have a better understanding of libraries like BTStack or TinyUSB, as actual docs for them tend to lack severely

Justin113D @justin113d.com · 14/08/2026

It's been a while since I've had to research as much as I had to do for the PICO, and I think i'm finally getting why people refer to LLMs as the death of stack overflow. The amount of times I had nothing to go off of but googles AI overview and actually get what i was looking for is ridiculous

Justin113D @justin113d.com · 09/08/2026

Which means i had to buy one 🙃 Never hurts to have more than one proper switch controller i guess lol It not having any audio stuff will definitely make emulating it much easier too (or at least i hope so). Here's to hoping that i can get this running soon! [4/4]

which seem to be the only pro controller on the market that are not made by nintendo, but recognized by them, and have a much easier-to emulate HID stack and whatnot. Unfortunately again, nobody has tried looking into the HID stacks and communication protocol of the switch 2 horipads... [3/4]

Justin113D @justin113d.com · 09/08/2026

have my PC recognize the PICO as a proper device. Unfortunately, my Switch 2 is not so fond of it yet, probably because emulating an official switch 2 pro controller is basically not feasable. Others seem to have made similar discoveries, which is why everyone else emulates "horipads", [2/4]

Justin113D @justin113d.com · 09/08/2026

I've been messing with my Raspberry PICO for a week now. I managed to establish a proper bluetooth connection, as well as write my own communication protocols that let me do remote debugging and whatnot. I've also had to delve into how HID devices communicate and are set up, and managed to [1/4]

Technically, somebody already achieved this (github.com/jfedor2/hid-...), but i still wanna see if i can give this my own twist!

Justin113D @justin113d.com · 04/08/2026

I got a new little toy~ I've always loved the idea of programming hardware stuff, and now i finally got a reason to! Specifically, i wanna see if i can translate keyboard + mouse controls to switch 2 controller output, send that to the pico via bluetooth, and then pass that to my switch 2

Anyway yeah, 50 minute direct, followed by 95 minute treehouse! Am excited! www.youtube.com/live/PvUPDSD... Personally hoping for a teaser of the next Zelda title. I'd actually hope for DQ9 as well, but we recently got a dedicated Dragon Quest video with no DQ9 in sight, so...

What just occured to me: "Man, I hope the rumors about a nintendo direct next week hold true... lemme look up what rumors are saying" [picture 1] "haha, that looks like one is taking place tomorrow! how funny!" "..." "WAIT" [picture 2] "THEY ANNOUNCED A DIRECT A COUPLE MINUTES AGO, FOR TOMORROW?!?"

A google search of "Nintendo direct June 2026", with results from ~15 minutes ago saying there was an announcement
