Kerbal Controller

The article "Kerbal Controller - the Basics" https://www.instructables.com/Kerbal-Controller-the-Basics/ introduced me to a small but awesome community on Discord.

It's also of interest for people not into as it describes the basics for DIY controllers of any kind very well.

The control panel used for demonstration has another bonus going: It's completely modular and can be 3D printed at home.

Can recommend 👍

I never made an because I am not the type of person that wants to be followed. I also don't want to prevent it actively, do what you want :) I mostly boost stuff I find funny or interesting.

I am a software developer from Germany, 24y/o, interested in web and app development. I also play games like Rocket League, GTA Online, Factorio, Cyberpunk, Horizon Zero Dawn and Kerbal Space Program.

Let's make the internet a better place for everyone!

I’m always intrigued by Kerbal Space Program, but it also always seems like work to me.

@SergKoren I'd say it is the same amount of work as other sim games. I personally had a lot of fun with it. Buildung Rockets, watching them explode and try again with the things i have learned 😂
If you are interested in i would reccomend trying the first game because it is more polished and feature complete than atm.

Feel free to ask if you want to know something.☺️

logic:
"Hey Bob, we need to drive around the KSC and collect some science data. Can you stand on this ladder atop this capsule-on-wheels and take down EVA reports?"
"Well, sure, but wouldn't it just be better to put a chair on top of the capsule instead?"
"Unfortunately, our researchers haven't invented chairs yet. They're on the roadmap."
"Haven't invented CHAIRS?!?"

Currently doing my first playthrough of career mode with installed. And I love it; works amazingly with station parts expansion redux as well as near future propulsion/electrical/construction/solar and mk2 expansion.

After it's done I might add a few more mods and give the outer planets mod a try.

A hilarious moment last night:
I made a Mk3 space plane using 4 under-wing RAPIER engines and four NERV nuclear engines mounted inside a cargo ramp (attached to a quad-coupler plate).

The glide slope on my "Chuby Spaceplane" (I'm leaving the typo in à la "Tony Probe") was pretty terrible, so despite several attempts, the landing was pretty hard, and something almost always broke.

Little brother has been using a 2015 macbook air family computer to play minecraft; today he tried out portal, and seemed to like it. So I've decided that I'm turning my old laptop (which was previously being used as a server PC, but I don't really need it for that any more) into a kind of steam console thingy that'll sit by the TV. Running linux on it, of course, with plasma 6, and steam big picture set to open at startup. He doesn't have a steam account but I'll set one up and then steamshare some of my games, and throw in a bluetooth keyboard/mouse plus an old ps4 controller of mine that I found in a giveaway pile on the side of the street a bit ago.

currently steamshared the essentials...#portal, #hollowknight, and #ksp - as well as #rounds and #minecraft

@mikemathia If I was into Kerbal Space Program, I would totally build this.

Just tried on my LG Gram again (kernel 6.3.4-arch1-1), and it froze KDE/Wayland hard.

le sigh

Maybe someday it'll be stable enough to play games.

Thankfully, it handles ACTUAL WORK just fine.
