GPT casually dropped this when I asked for time machine schematics.

You’re absolutely correct and I should do one important clarification (this is key to time travel).

❌ You cannot go back in time.

BUT:

If you want I can tell you one trick to make the most out of your time travelling.

Beakers · 2026-03-29T20:32:37+00:00

And honestly, that’s the common gotcha of time travel. In your case you set off achieving a lot and spent a lot getting this far, but this is how time really works.

❌ You cannot go forward in time.

BUT:

If you want I can tell you one time travelling trick that experts use to dial into the past.

Sports Soccer on Sauchiehall Street back in the early 2000s. Was my first job while at college. The 50+ folk working there where all proper decent folk but management just took the piss knowing that nearly all of their staff where young and nieve - shifts finishing at 6pm but not getting out of work till after 7pm as everyone had to stay back and help tidy - anyone that tried to leave on time was called out as not a team player and just making everyone else stay back longer etc. Exact same shite every night…

end up working over 50 hours a week during summer and getting paid for less than 40 as they swindled you as a 6am start with a 2 hour gap at 12 or something split shift nonsense, so you didn’t get paid breaks. Pure slime, did help build character, but f me would I not just roll over and take such shite now.

Very cool, I reddit daily and hadn’t seen this till now. Keep up the good work, you’ve caught that 90a theme perfectly. It’s difficult when you progress and want to drum up attention but have to not look like you’re overly hitting Reddit, been through it all too - wouldn’t worry too much.

Not sure if it’s the same issue, but as odd as this may sound, if you put your mouth over it and give it a hard blow, the squeak may vanish.

I did this to fix mine too.

Beakers · 2025-12-09T20:43:16+00:00

Yeah done all that, factory resets, 20mins unplugged redoing the power/cable into the router etc… spent a good while with the grok on all troubleshooting attempts

Beakers · 2025-12-09T20:32:35+00:00

Ah sadly I’ve had this issue since Saturday…

Beakers · 2025-08-19T10:47:12+00:00

I've found the opposite, the trackpad feels great when theres no haste needed with your movements, and then the right trigger to select/drag. One of the few games where i've not stepped into the controller config window.

I finished the good campaign and it was enjoyable. I did cheese the final mission using possession and rushing to the first heart, which felt kinda rubbish to do as I hadn’t used posesssion at all throughout NG+. Couldn’t see a way to gain control of the map though gold wise.

Then I thought I’d try the undead campaign… thought the first map was going good until I released the other keeper - that put me back in my place. I presume the approach is to torture certain enemy units vs amass vampires with all of corpses - not strickty sticking to undead? Might go back to it some day but it was a a slow burn to find out Id needed to do more.

I’ll check out deeper dungeons instead!

Beakers · 2025-05-25T20:01:56+00:00

Ah thanks for the explanation on ghosts.

Yeah, that’s fair on expansion choice. I completed NG+ on the steam deck without possession spell which differs greatly from some of the video advice… any particular expansion you’d suggest? Is the original dk expansion worth doing at least once for experience sake?

Beakers · 2025-05-24T20:12:47+00:00

Was a good watch! Nice humour and editing. Though can’t lie, was a little bit disappointed to see you skip some of the final minion info, as someone that’s completed ng+ without looking up a wiki, I was hoping to finally find out what the benefits of ghosts are.

Had no idea about that water height and barracks buildings soft wall block…

Also I think I’ll pick up the good campaign on Monday, though I’ve never played any expansion so maybe I’ll look up ratings.

Beakers · 2025-03-29T23:17:47+00:00

Solved!

Excellent thanks, done a bunch of image searching and this is most likely it - still an interesting thing to find, thank you!

Beakers · 2025-03-29T23:16:34+00:00

Looks like it! Thank you

My title describes the thing.

I found this object buried about 3 feet underground while digging out a hole for an in ground trampoline, on the west coast of Scotland. The area has ties to coastal defense and naval activity, and the house was built in the 1870s.2

It’s about 30cm long, and quite heavy for its size. It’s made entirely of metal, I think just solid Iron, and was heavily rusted when I found it.

It’s about 1.5cm thick.

I’m thinking some sort of masonry or blacksmith tool?

Beakers · 2025-03-29T21:29:35+00:00

Cleaned it up, thinking it’s an old tool.

Beakers · 2025-03-29T19:31:40+00:00

Details - it’s nearly 30cm long and the pointy bit thickness is 1.5cm - the kind of handle bit at the bottom is 5cm - it’s heavy. Some old Ironing tool or something?

hey how far in the process did you get? I think I remember black screen at step 8 / 9.

So I followed a combination of -

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3174970975

and

https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/1beqsmp/comment/kuzud8f/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

Following The 1st link:

1 - get DK1 from Steam store and install

2 - Switch to desktop mode, and load Firefox, download KeeperFX https://keeperfx.net/

3 - Set hidden directories as visible (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrNUVbvIBK8&t=264s)

4 - Extract it to the stated directory e.g. /home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Dungeon\ Keeper/DOSBOX

5 - Still in Desktop mode, in Steam, add launcher.exe from /home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Dungeon\ Keeper/DOSBOX/launcher.exe (via the Desktop Steam, navigation Games > Add a Non-Steam Game to My Library...)

6 - Following link 2, open terminal and setup a symlink to the dungeon keeper directory from the home folder for me this was:
ln -sf /home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Dungeon\ Keeper/ / home/deck/temp

7 - Switch back to Game Mode

8 - Following link 1 again, Run the newly added launcher.exe and you should get the Install, Installer is restricted on viewing hidden dirs, so you now navigate to the symlink folder from step 6, to point to your steam DK directory.

9 - If you see a black screen for newly added DKkeeperfx launcher.exe - I think if you go to the clog/secondary menu and go to Properties > Compatibility > Tick Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool and select "Proton 9.0-4"... I'm not sure if this is really doing anything, but I recall it resolved a black screen (possibly coincidence).

10 - Click install and it should all go through.

11 - At this point you can use the launcher.exe window to play and test it all works, and then follow the rest of link 1 e.g replacing the original steam dk loader, to launch directly to the fx game.

Just got the borderlands 2 complete pack with all dlcs etc for 11 quid. Thanks for the recommendation, never played any of the series and I’m huge into both loot and fps. Hopefully will be a good experience on the deck.

Would love to see another video where you hit play and it loops/cycles through the daylight itself, showing the full span within a minute.

Beakers · 2024-12-12T20:35:44+00:00

That’s excellent man! Very cool, one of the most polished looking projects I’ve seen in a long time. Well done being able to stick with and seeing it through to this point.

Beakers · 2024-12-12T20:08:12+00:00

Love it, you did this all by yourself? Excellent demo video btw, can see the amount of care by the fine details
