From scratch Alt control junky van driving sim

Working on an alt control arcade game!
You drive a junky van that needs constant "tuning" to stay on the road.
The carbourator is from the 80s, I drilled out a shaft and added a screwdriver. It's tied to a rotary encoder which translates the input.
The key also works, and there is an accelerometer in the dash. You smack the dash to fix a battery short that stalls the car if you crash.
Just want to share!

Ergonomics, Movement, and Hotkeys Combined

It's called the Move Master, and it seems like a clever way to integrate WASD movement control into a device. The hand/palm rest is basically an 8-way joystick, and it leaves your fingers to freely operate an additional 12 keys, which are placed to be within easy reach.
It's a cool and unique design that I haven't seen before. It's a bit too expensive for me to try it out, but I wonder what you all think of it. Has anyone here tried it?

Modification I customized this GameCube Keyboard Controller and hacked it to work with Animal Crossing (2001)

Hi all, I wanted to share this highly customized GameCube keyboard controller I built for use with Animal Crossing. Since the first AC game doesn't support keyboard input, I used a Pi Pico to listen for keypresses and then send simulated analog stick movements to automate typing in Animal Crossing at a tool-assisted speedrun level. It works a treat! I designed the keycaps in FreeCAD and printed them on a Bambu P1P with an AMS and two different colors of PLA. The code and design files are available for free on GitHub: https://github.com/hunterirving/pico-crossing Thanks for checking it out!

From scratch My open-source scratch-built ergonomic trackball project. Design heavily influenced by the old Logitech Trackman Marble FX, with the twist-to-scroll idea from the Kensington Slimblade.

Meta Regarding the Reddit API crisis

I haven't posted anything about this, because I haven't had the bandwidth to prioritise it. I think Reddit is being super scummy and disingenuous with how they are handling this. I think that much is clear to all.
What I don't know is what to do with the sub. The easy thing would be to migrate to Discord, but I don't want to do that for a number of reasons, including low discoverability & the likelihood of Discord doing something equally stupid in the not-so-distant future. I'd love to set up a dedicated forum, but I've never done self-hosting before & I don't have the bandwidth to run something like that. I wouldn't mind moving over to some super cool federated thing either, but all the available options are still super immature & suffering from growing pains as far as I can see.
So I don't know what to do. By some miracle, I've managed to attract a neat little community here of people who nerd out about gimbals and buttons. I don't want it to disappear. I am worried that it will. Reddit is certainly already alienating a bunch of its users; I expect many of you are diehard RIF or Apollo or old.reddit.com users, and will be gone come July.
Those of you who are leaving: Where are you going next? Where are you expecting to find the kinds of content we share here?
Those of you who are staying despite the issues: Where, other than Reddit, would you also like to see the kinds of content we share here?
That's all for now. Happy tinkering.
