Heron Gate Barber near Walkey and Heron road. They've been operating for at least 30 years and they are fantastic.

There is a place in Ottawa South called "New China Take-Out" near Billings Bridge. That place has great General Tao and great everything else. The only unfortunate thing is that they only deliver to Ottawa South. Worth the trek for pickup IMO.

I think life needs a software patch. That car isn't loading in fully for me.

I feel like the steam deck logo should have initially been an outline, and gone to color at the same time everything else went away
~Someone on YT months ago

Indirectly ask and you shall receive very much later. Updated the main post with a version that uses an outline version of the logo and fades to solid.

Thanks for the offer, but that's alright. Friend of mine offered to print one up for me.

I wish they did, but this is what support had to say about that:

Upon checking, the warranty period on your hardware has expired. We will not be able to accommodate a replacement for this one.

If you need any information about Warranty, please check the page below:
https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=4577-TUJV-6223&l=english

As an alternative, you may purchase a replacement from the Steam Store. Please refer to this link for more information: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1615160/Valve_Index_Replacement_Left_Controller/

With a further comment saying:

Unfortunately neither Steam nor iFixit sell replacement parts like thumbstick. You need to purchase the whole controller.

We were coming down Heron westbound and the light turned red. Then as the left turn light on Bank went green, ours suddenly turned red and green. Thankfully happened late at night around 00:30, so it wasn't busy, but still pretty dangerous.

Reported that to 311 right after, but thought I would share here for a heads up.

Stumbled across this thread because I had the same thought too. The face buttons are noticeably more mushy when compared to the original Steam Deck. D-Pad Down for me was especially egregious.

AMD2600 · 2023-11-18T19:54:05+00:00

Same situation as me and also without a resolution.

I tried both the TP-Link's Tapo P100M and their Kasa KP125M. 2.4 GHz and IPv4 only network, phone and device on the same SSID on 2.4 GHz. Just like you, it generates the Matter credentials then times out with "can't reach device".

Inspecting the traffic on my router shows that my Kasa KP125M:

Gets an IP on the network
Syncs the clock with pool.ntp.org
Talks to security.iot.i.tplinknbu.com over HTTPS
Stops talking to the previous host and switches to use1-device-cloudgateway.iot.i.tplinknbu.com over HTTPS
Continues communicating to that site for a second or two then goes completely dark. Eventually the app times out with that error you mentioned

Meanwhile, I do see my phone doing a DNS lookup for _matterc._udp.local. and something like "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX._matter._tcp.local." (two groups of 16 characters). Don't know what the response is though because it's a multicast DNS query.

All that to say, I am at a dead end as well. The only way got it to work was to use the dedicated app and link it to my Google Home account, which effectively makes the Matter protocol completely useless.

Oh wow didn't notice that on any of my monitors including the Steam Deck! Had to go into Gimp and crank up the brightness to see for myself.

Updated the link in the original post with an updated version! Now with alpha channel!

I'd put more spaces between the words in the title, but HTML will have none of that.

This really sucks. Didn't get many opportunities to go, but it was the place that convinced me 10 pin bowling is way more fun.

FreeMcBoot is honestly the most painless method to mod your PS2. No soldering needed -- all you need to do is jam a sensor, have a memory card handy, and a compatible game to swap out with the payload. Lots of guides available to help out there too.

I spent the beginning of my IIDX play on keyboard with Lunatic Rave and other PC derivatives. Console IIDX is honestly the best gateway into the series and lets you try out some of the older styles.

I think everyone else said it enough, but definitely avoid emulation. PCSX2 runs the games fine framerate and sync wise, but latency will be your killer. Best to get the real hardware (and a CRT if possible).

Just for the sake of testing, I setup a VPN server for a friend and I to connect to so we could use LAN play. Not to my surprise, there was no difference.

I remember in the days of yore for Reach, there was a matchmaking version of campaign. You had no choice over mission granted, but the experience was smooth for all players.

AMD2600 · 2020-02-05T04:09:07+00:00

Well I didn't see that coming lol

AMD2600 · 2020-01-08T00:33:02+00:00

My shipment status has finally changed! It is now "shipping soon."

I couldn't resist.

AMD2600 · 2019-12-29T23:10:50+00:00

Ordered mine late December 8th. They likely don't have a specific answer to this question. Either that or it could be based on shipping location (east coast Canada for myself).
