I do this with Xbox controllers and it's very easy. Depending on the emulator you usually have to assign which physical controller should be used for which console input. Usually this is a one time setup unless you switch back and forth a lot between the built in a Steam Deck controller and an external one.
I recommend launching the emulator from Steam when setting that up so there isn't any confusion between connecting directly to the controllers vs using Steam Input. Once the setup is done you can launch individual ROMs directly from Steam.
You can even mix and match controllers. I've played Smash Bros with a mix of Xbox, GCN and PS4 controllers on the Deck.
Give each guy two spears. Now you have twice the spears and you didn't even have to find more guys.

Cloaks would be cool. I know that's more of a fantasy aesthetic than a medieval one but they are cool enough that it shouldn't matter.
Not really. If you have debts with a fixed interest rate your payments will remain mostly fixed too. That means even if your wage stagnates during a high inflation period the payments you're making on that debt stay the same in nominal currency but the real value of that payment (and the total debt) are worth less because of inflation.
That being said your total cost of living will probably still go up and whether anyone is 'coming out on top' during high inflation depends on their circumstances. If your wages don't increase and the cost of living goes up it may be harder to make debt payments even if the payment amount stays the same.
Imagine someone with a ton of debt from buying real estate. With a fixed interest rate high inflation can actually be really good for them. The value of their assets continue to go up and their debts deflate away because the money they're paying back isn't as valuable as it was when they borrowed it in the first place. The type of person befitting in this way probably isn't making most of their money from a wage though.
The Asus Transformer Prime.
It was an Android tablet circa 2011, right at that time they were actually making 10" Android tablets. I bought one as soon as Android Honeycomb launched which had an improved UI and lot of new tablet focused features. I bought the optional keyboard/battery attachment and planned for it to be my tiny laptop replacement that could also play emulators and be used for reading comics. I wanted to like it so bad.
It never really panned out though, a large majority of which was because of the faulty Nvidia Tegra 3 chip. Awful performance issues, terrible wireless connectivity, overheating, battery drain and nonexistant software updates from Asus. I ran custom ROMs trying to squeeze it as much as I could but that meant I was constantly tinkering with it and having yet more problems. Eventually I even broke the screen (my fault) and painstakingly went through a whole botched screen replacement before finally deciding that it had been a huge waste of time and money and sent it to it's grave.
I've been running Bazzite on an old 1st gen Surface Book Pro that I had laying around. Touch screen and all the fancy keyboard stuff works great.
Generally when inflation is high it makes debts with a fixed interest less of a burden because the real value of that debt decreases over time. So if you're heavily in debt inflation can be helpful in some regards.
At one point I triple booted my laptop with Ubuntu, Windows 7 and OSX mostly just to prove I could. Weird times, a lot has changed since then.
Yes, resolution is not the only factor. Bitrate is equally if not more important.
I've even seen arrow keys that use Up, Down, Left, Right and it makes me sad.
It's kind of crazy how off the rails this series got later down the line.
Rimworld! Probably my favorite game ever actually.
I use Ansible playbooks to keep my config in sync. It's great but there is a bit of a learning curve. Makes it easy to deploy config changes.
ineligible for promotion
This seems like an empty threat to me. Every promotion I've ever gotten internally has come with a negligible pay increase (~4%). The best promotions I've gotten have been leaving to take a new job somewhere else (~20-50%).
Here is a bit of information on how Lemmy's "Hot" sorting works.
I'm not going to argue about how addictive any specific feed or sorting method is, but this method is content neutral, does not adjust based on user behavior (besides which communities you subscribe to) and is completely transparent as all post interactions are public. With this type of sorting users can be sure that certain content is not prioritized over others (outside of mod actions which are also public). Having a more neutral straightforward ranking system that isn't based on user behavior reduces addictiveness and is less likely to form echo chambers. This makes it easier to see more diverse content, reduces the spread of misinformation and is much more difficult to manipulate.
The problem is algorithmically driven content feeds and the lack of transparency around them. These algorithms drive engagement which prioritizes content that makes people angry, not content that make people happy. These feeds are full of misinformation, conspiratorial thinking, rage bait, and other negativity with very little user control to protect themselves, curate the feed or to have neutral access to news and politics.
Lemmy sorts content very simply based on user upvotes. If you want to know why you're seeing a post you can see exactly who upvoted it and what instances that traffic came from. It's not immune to being manipulated but it can't be done secretly or in a centralized way.
Yet based on their actions we already know that Facebook has levers they can pull to directly affect the amount of news people see about a specific topic, let alone the source of information on that topic. These big social media companies guard these proprietary algorithms that are directly determining what news people see on a massive scale. Sure they claim to be a neutral arbiter of content that just gives people what they want but why would anyone believe them?
Lemmy is not the same thing, though it's not without its own problems.
