i made an archery game that uses your charging cable as the controller

@rebane2001 the fact that the cable looks damaged makes me think there was a lot of testing while developing ^^

@rebane2001@infosec.exchange this is exactly the kind of thing i want to see on my tl :3

@rebane2001
lmao that's very cool, also i would be worried it would speedrun damaging the charging port

@rebane2001 worn out charging port: the game

adb

@rebane2001 me with a faulty cable/port that constantly gets on/off at the minimum move while charging:

@mrpickles2000 @rebane2001 I suppose that could be mitigated by using one of those magnetic adapters. It would also have the effect of making it easier to connect, so you can fire off shots faster.

Wait, would that be cheating?

Rebane

@hyrulian @mrpickles2000 no that's allowed

Lukyan

@rebane2001 Fun idea. Now I see that a usual game controlled by mouse clicks should have the hardware last several thousand times longer (probably reduced by much higher click rate of a user not experienced with the charging port).

@rebane2001 websites should not have access to that

@rebane2001 Phone manufacturers love it.

Reid :blobcathappy:

@hacknorris I know about it and what I'm saying is it shouldn't exist

Fabi

@rebane2001 charging cycles HATE this simple trick!!

Joykill

@rebane2001 Is it called "0%! MAX BATTERY CAPACITY: The Speedrun"? If not, you can use it, no need to put my name in the credits.

@rebane2001 that is amazing. we love it

(we would never play it, our cables have durability problems at the best of times and we have no desire to make that worse, but wow what a cool idea)
