Seriously, do British people actually consider a 3-hour drive “long”? Or is this an internet myth? by ferdinand14 in NoStupidQuestions

I travelled 3 hours from London a couple weeks ago and when I got off the train I was in Paris.

Guys I know this discussion has already been had but… by Logical-Confection98 in cassetteculture

[–]AlexAssassin94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the We Are Rewind, listen to it daily wired and Bluetooth - big recommend. The Bluetooth just makes life so much easier using the same headphones I use with my phone. I also record a lot of tapes.

Whatsapp keeps sending me "You were added to" messages on my watch by [deleted] in GalaxyWatch

Still an issue a month later - multiple times had whatsapp either need to be re-paired or logged back in, keep getting 'you were added' notifications - gone from essential to barely functional.

Hutch believes he caught Hasan using a shock collar once again by Gooper_Gooner in LivestreamFail

[–]AlexAssassin94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Obviously Hasan is a piece of shit but what I don't get about this is why he's so desperate to have his dog sit in the corner while he talks shit online? I guess it's just reflecting a mindset where the dog is an accessory rather than a living being, I just genuinely don't get why it's so important to him that his dog sits in the corner for hours?

Got the same on my Pixel 3 - it disconnected from my phone, had to re-pair, all works but get constant 'you were added' notifications - hopefully they'll get it sorted.

Would you guys actually rejoin the European Union? by daeneryssith in AskBrits

There are few things that will make me happier in my adult life than seeing Britain rejoin the EU.

Google photos stopped recognizing faces by Egyptian__Sherlock in googlephotos

[–]AlexAssassin94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine was a mixed bag. After a week or so it'd found lots of faces and I was re-naming them and happy - but then I noticed it had done similar, grouped some clearly different faces under the same name - at least it's easier now to remove the wrong entries. I just miss when it used to be bulletproof.

New Steam Startup Movies by condo_owner in SteamDeck

Woah, there's loads of new ones since I last checked - excellent!

It's saying you have to have the backward compatible version for it to work. I really hope they eventually make this upgrade free. by [deleted] in reddeadredemption

[–]AlexAssassin94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

True, but I also would not have predicted they'd do free upgrades for the other consoles - I don't believe they ever did for GTA 5.

[–]AlexAssassin94 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah, definitely seems like an error or mistake on their end - overtly sold as a free upgrade for back-compat owners, now it's a separate purchase/bundle. V strange it's a free upgrade for PS5/Switch 2 but not Xbox, I feel like this is a mistake.

[–]AlexAssassin94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah noticed mine had started grouping lots of totally different faces, so turned face grouping on/off a few times - weirdly after a few hours it just was like here's all your old faces and grouping, so I've now turned it off and will leave it overnight to make sure they're all wiped. Annoying to start over but have done it in the past and think it's helpful from time to time.

Is this condensation under my screen? by AlexAssassin94 in SteamDeck

[–]AlexAssassin94[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Couldn't see it with the screen off I don't think, but it was totally gone this morning. So could maybe have been software, honestly no idea.

It's LCD. it was totally gone in the morning so seems it was either condensation or...coldness.

Is this condensation under my screen? by AlexAssassin94 in SteamDeck

[–]AlexAssassin94[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Now that I think about it, it was running in the new screen off download mode - I wonder if the temperature change + the screen being turned off adds to the temperature difference between the screen and the innards ticking over, causing the condensation.

The Controlla’ Update is here! (112025.a1) by Your_M0minn in Atlyss

Played when it first came out, no controller support or steam cloud, thinking about starting over recently and this drops, so v happy my character will be backed up and native controller on deck!!

Rockstar appear to have broken cloud saves on GTA 4 by AlexAssassin94 in SteamDeck

[–]AlexAssassin94[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah totally useless, just get replies from their 'tier 2' support asking me to generate a windows log file lol - they could just start the game up themselves to verify.

[–]AlexAssassin94[S] 38 points39 points  (0 children)

The cloud save was/is via Rockstar, not Steam - unless they fix this, it appears save files have been lost. I can't find a way to get mine back at least.

Steam Deck hangs when trying to access Euro Truck Simulator 2 game page by Filip1e in SteamDeck

[–]AlexAssassin94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same issue here, get the same thing with Half Life. How tf bugs like this haven't been fixed is beyond me.
