Many things still don’t have a XDG portal like reading absolute cursor position (useful for some accessibility and productivity apps) and things who do have an XDG portal like screenshoting are usually not implemented in popular OS-agnostic libraries
Those things aren’t supported in XWayland either for security reasons iirc and require X11 but I could be wrong
TIL the Victorian era wasn’t during the Middle Ages… I feel like an idiot lol. Thanks for correcting me, I’ll edit my reply :)
The origin of the maid dresses is actually kinda neat iirc! Japan is obsessed by medieval western nobility so they ended up opening nobility-themed cafés with maids and butlers (but mostly maids) which became insanely popular. So much so that many artistic medias including animes started integrating maids and butlers (but mostly maids) inside their stories.
Basically, it’s kinda like us with ninjas and samurais afaik.
For the bunny ears? Maybe a fetish thing idk. Probably related to the japanese culture of adoring anything cute. Bunny = small animal => cute => popular. Dunno why. Maybe I’m wrong tho.
EDIT: Not medival. I’m misremembering history (see below)
Interesting! To me inverting the x-axis just makes sense in 3rd person games: you see the back of the head of the character so if the back of the head moves to the left your field of view should move to the right. Basically, the joystick controls the head of the character from your POV. Never thought that was uncommon!
GameCube controllers controlled the camera by using buttons and not two thumbsticks
Played a bit of GameCube a few months ago and that’s definitely wrong — the c-stick isn’t great but it’s very much used for camera controls — however the rest of the article seems pretty good. Thanks for sharing!
Eh-e eh!
