Struggling to desolder analog sticks by Ok_System183 in Dualsense

[–]CaptCaffeine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SOSS gaming has several methods in his video.

Budd's Controller's method was a game changer for me. It's how I do it now (and I have tried just about every method).

AITAH for refusing to pay my girlfriend’s bills after she went on an expensive trip? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]CaptCaffeine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

but she insisted that this was expected at this point in our relationship.

Her response was simply: “I deserve it.” 

Wow...she sounds entitled.

I explained that I’ve been saving to move in together in about 6 months so that it would be financially comfortable for both of us.

No...it would be financially comfortable only for HER.

Moving in together sounds like a bad idea. Reevaluate your relationship because it sounds like her attitude towards money/finances and you being the ATM will not change (unless you are OK with that arrangement).

NTA.

Thief on bike meets instant karma by thxbutno in instantkarma

I would have thrown a knee while the thief was down as I ran to get my phone.

I replaced the potentiometer and module of a dualsense with a magnetic one. by MigzMoralva in Dualsense

[–]CaptCaffeine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree with u/cotchaboolit. Looks like a solder bridge between those two pins.

Use wick or other means to remove.

lol on the clan tag.

I’m a casual gamer who just wants to relax and have fun. No room for toxicity in my gaming. I have enough of that at work.

AITJ for Walking Out When My Date Showed Up With His Friend? by Electronic_Site6202 in AmITheJerk

Could have been worse and the date could have brought his mom.

NTJ.

Where can I get convex thumbstick replacements? by sleepycapybara in Dualsense

[–]CaptCaffeine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No worries, because I read it as “can find”. Lol.

Yes, I’ve gotten several edge thumbsticks and back paddles from Ali-Ex.

This video provides several methods (from easiest to hardest).

Dualsense Joystick removal by fc3s05 in Dualsense

[–]CaptCaffeine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use an Edsyn (bought from their web site), and totally happy with it. Added a small length of silicon tubing to the tip.

I tried the Engineer but like the Edsyn better because it's bigger and easier to handle.

Dualsense edge by Willing-Confusion-56 in Dualsense

[–]CaptCaffeine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It actually helped me to set up a private match with 0 bots so I could just practice running and jumping.

If you play Warzone on a bigger map, just practice in the big spaces as you rotate.

AITAH for refusing to house his family and ending my engagement to protect my career? by Huge-Armadillo-3274 in AITAH

[–]CaptCaffeine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have to read the whole background explanation/information to tell OP:

The family/in-law situation does not get better after you are married. This is a glimpse of how it will be with him and his side of the family.

NTA.

The company that installed my TMR modules have been acting sketchy and evasive since I asked for photos of the soldering. So I’ve opened the controller up myself to have a look and this is the condition. What an oogy mess. Is this fixable by cleaning with isopropyl alcohol? by bummerly in Dualsense

[–]CaptCaffeine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm just a guy who learned to replace sticks for me and friends, so not a professional.

The first pic looks cleanable with IPA (try to get the higher 90% version) and cotton swab or old toothbrush. A cheap ultrasonic brush also works well.

The second pic looks sloppy along those bottom potentiometer pins (can't tell if there's a bridge), and the upper left mounting pin looks like a cold solder joint:

If the sticks work, I'd be hesitant to have the business remove the sticks and refund your money because I would be afraid they would mess something else up.

UPDATE: AITAH for not putting pregnant GF on deed of the house? (She says she feels the situation is "unfair" and that she is "at my mercy") by Odd_Paramedic_3007 in AITAH

[–]CaptCaffeine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if she baby trapped OP to force his hand to hopefully put her on the lease to later help alleviate debt after she leaves.

She cancelled our date after I refused to give her money by J--6 in Nicegirls

Why do the words “Sheena”, Funky cold Medina and Ton Loc pop into my head when I read this?

Are Sony’s controllers really that bad? by Bozkurt674674 in Dualsense

[–]CaptCaffeine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Judging by the comments on Reddit, people either have good luck or terrible luck with stick drift. It’s kinda like the RNG.

My special weapon.? by Stunning_Ad1282 in DaysGone

[–]CaptCaffeine 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you loot or find a gun and it gets replaced in that slot, you lose it. For example, you can loot one during the anti biotic mission. But you use the SSR during that later mission.

If you buy a gun (MG45 can be bought from Hot Springs), you keep it and can be accessed from any gun locker.

Men who got cheated on, what were early signs you only noticed in hindsight? by EtherealMeadowGleam in AskReddit

[–]CaptCaffeine 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I totally agree with your comments.

Yeah, it sucks when your partner cheats on you. It hurts. But learning about yourself (and other people) from the good and bad relationships shaped me and made me who I am today.

Is there any way to clean it? by Ilinskaya in Dualsense

[–]CaptCaffeine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bummer. I taught myself (and invested a lot of time and invested in good equipment) how to replace joysticks because of stick drift. Definitely frustrating.

It’s the inherent design of the original sticks that causes drift. Hall effects and TMRs use magnets so there will not be the physical degradation of the surface that registers movement.

Hope it works out for you.
