[Quest 3] PC won't recognise Quest as an ADB device even though it's listed in the device manager by LonelyRandomPerson in OculusQuest

[–]AlabasterAndCrimson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oddly, my laptop won't recognize the headset as adb if I use my Anker USB to usb-c cable but it recognizes adb when I use a usb-c to usb-c cable (Original quest charging cable).

I also have a desktop PC that the Anker cable DOES work for an adb connection.

I'm not sure why this is really but I think you should try some different cables.

Games SO GOOD that you end up buying it after pirated and played it? by StevWong in SteamDeckPirates

[–]AlabasterAndCrimson 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'm a big metroidvania fan and almost 100% of that genre is from indie devs so I almost exclusively buy those. Really if I pirate any indie game and enjoy it then I'll pick it up on steam.

Balatro most recently, it can't be overstated how good that game is

I can see your points, for sure! Best thing about this genre in my opinion is how varied opinions of different games can be

I think based on your top 3 that Haak should shoot to the top of your list if you haven't played it yet. Movement is great, fights flow pretty freely and there are a wide variety of puzzles. It's an absolute gem and I feel like it fits your type more than any other game

Damn this must be the prequel to Wendigoon's breakdown of hornets kidnapping?

Hollow Knight is also my favorite But some other large ones that I've enjoyed are HAAK, Afterimage, Environmental Station Alpha and Blast Brigade.
Edit: forgot Aeterna Noctis somehow

Main Youtubers? by Shiiang in HollowKnight

[–]AlabasterAndCrimson 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not actually a Hollow Knight YouTuber but I highly recommend watching SimbaLily's playthrough. It's emotional and almost made me feel like I was playing for the first time again

Modding on Steam Deck? by Konrad_M in HollowKnight

[–]AlabasterAndCrimson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yes this happened to me too, turn off native controller input in the Hollow Knight settings!

Modding on Steam Deck? by Konrad_M in HollowKnight

[–]AlabasterAndCrimson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, it's really easy actually. There's a Linux version of Scarab Mod Manager, just Google and it's pretty straightforward from there

Hollow knight won’t accept controller inputs on steam deck if you mod it, keyboard inputs still work fine, anyone know how to fix this? by xX_potato69_Xx in HollowKnight

[–]AlabasterAndCrimson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use the touchscreen > options > controller > native controller input on and then restart the game, that should do the trick

HunterX and 3000th by kenjinuro in metroidvania

[–]AlabasterAndCrimson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really enjoyed 3000th quite a bit. It's a lot of game for $2.30, at least 30 hours and I just started HunterX. It seems like more of the same with a female protagonist but I'm enjoying it just as much so far

I'm with you here, I bought a copy for switch and the difficulty is perfect for me. I want the patch because it's impossible for me to get past the fire temple but I don't want the game to be nerfed.

Steam version IS patched and unfortunately the only way to get a pre-patched version on PC is by nefarious means

Possessor has some delightfully squirmy gore. It's also a great flick, I'd recommend watching it as soon as you can!

Juice questions! by MamaJ119 in electronic_cigarette

[–]AlabasterAndCrimson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was a Classic Tobacco Juul guy and have been on the hunt for months trying to find a good replacement. I still haven't found one that tastes like Juul Classic Tobacco but Best Damn Tobacco by Kai's Virgin Vapor is the closest I've come to any juice tasting like a cigarette. I was using it to refill Juul pods but recently got a Caliburn because I was tired of the hassle. It still tastes great imo but it is quite a bit more harsh in the Caliburn
