  • I can pop my arms out of my shoulder joints, without using my hands, and back in again. Completely painless, but can sometimes do it by accident if I'm leaning against a doorframe etc, or pushing/pulling against something, so I have to be careful.

    Have you been diagnosed with any hypermobility disorders? You might want to look into some and check with a doctor, because some of them have pretty nasty side effects since they lead to most connective tissue degenerating, even inside your heart

  • I have hypermobility, but a mild form that just lets me bend my fingers back without any of the major problems associated with it.

    My hands and feet are slightly adhesive when they're any wetter than bone dry, so you can hear a faint peeling sound when I walk barefoot in the house, even a little bit on short carpet. Think peeling scotch tape and reduce it by 50%.

    I can also control the muscles responsible for equalizing the pressure in my ears, and that allows me to put them under a slight vacuum to slightly dampen loud noises.

    I also have long toes. Not to the extent of a chimp, but I have successfully signed my name with them before (though even lower quality than signing with my left hand).

    I also cannot cry from cutting onions. This sounds awesome until you're cutting 3 bags of onions in one go and you learn that the tears dilute the sulfuric acid that forms. That was a painful evening.

  • Are you only wanting to emulate games with PCSX2 or multiple different emulators? If the latter, have you tried the automated install process of Emulation Station or EmuDeck? I haven't dealt with PS2 games through it yet, but maybe the automated installers and configs will help?

  • Like a lot of stuff, I blame "popular science" tech youtubers like Linus Sebastien. He thought it was funny to lose his mind with a butter knife and stab at his steam deck and everyone pointed out how dangerous that was while memeing it around.

    Stuff like this is why I can't watch LTT anymore. He's effectively become the PewDiePie or Logan Paul of tech and has become net negative for the industry.

    Lately he did a video where he downloaded HoloISO as an analogue for a SteamOS 3.0 review (why would you review it when it's actively discouraged for download on non-Steam Deck hardware?). While he doesn't spend a ton of time on the problems (like connecting to printers), it's still negative exposure to things that will most likely be sorted out before release (if they're not already fixed within Valve).

    That being said, I shouldn't expect much from the guy who did the equivalent of deleting System32 in an attempt to install Steam when all he had to do was open the app manager and click install
