Stick it Up!
Stick it Up! is an online tool to know how much to extend your controller's analog stick in order to emulate another's feel.

Do you know about the importance of the thumb-travel range for a controller analog stick?
This new concept will change the way we play games with analog sticks. *I'm dead serious.*
It also opens the way for thumbstick emulation for more accurate retro gaming.
Wanna know more? Read my article.

@abney317.com I just read about your analog stick problems, and I may have stumbled recently on something relevant for you.
I isolated what makes a N64 controller so distinct from other controllers and why it sucks playing N64 games on them: it's all about the "thumb-travel range".

@modernvintagegamer.com I'm certain that you'd be interested in what I discovered.
It appears that the physical size of an analog stick matters more than we thought. That would explain why playing emulated N64 games (with i.e. JoyCons) feel so weird.
It's caused by the "thumb-travel range".

Are you able to tiptoe like this with a Switch 2 JoyCon?
Well, you can't without a 28.09 mm physical extension to your stick.

Today, I found out the perfect analogy for "thumb-travel range": it is the mouse DPI for the human thumb.
Software cannot fix this. It's like the difference between using a mouse at 400 dpi and at 3600 dpi.
So I added a little more context to the "What is thumb-travel range" section of my page.

What are you doing, Mario from Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga? You’re T-posing before the minigame? Fine, it happens all the time, the animation wasn’t loaded yet.
Wait, IN A 2D GAME? 😵💫
That cannot be anything else than an Easter egg. 😂 A gag way before it’s time.

The Risk of Rain soundtrack is such a banger. It hooked me when I first tried the small indie (then) Risk of Rain, still is now. (btw, I finally finished the game yesterday on the remaster).
Serious props to Chris Christodoulou.

You should have seen the GodotCon crowd go wild when I announced the news during my talk. 😊
Can't wait to share the VOD video once it is ready. From the feedback I got, I think it was a good talk. I had so much fun!

Rift Riff (out now!) was proudly made in Godot!! It started as a “small game to see if Godot is ready for commercial games” and 1,5 years later & with a 5-person team all working in the editor I can give you a resounding YES, IT’S READY.

Just updated my workstation to Fedora 42, and I cannot understate how AMAZING the UI is.
This is all thanks to the new Adwaita fonts (Awaita Sans and Adwaita Mono) that come as the new default for GNOME 48.
Just take a look at this comparison.
