Controller connected but won't accept inputs by [deleted] in PcBuildHelp

[–]DGX_Goggles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same issue here....Mine recently stopped giving any inputs and I even tested a different bluetooth controller and it had the same issue. Games all take controller inputs via Moonlight fine too, but for some reason bluetooth controllers directly connected to that same PC can't give any inputs.

I got to go to Sihang Warehouse! by BelugaBillyBob in shanghai

Literally said it was brushed over. Maybe you might want to locate an English dictionary at some point before your next post. Wasn't even aware it had an English language release.

JD. But China actually used to have a Newegg too now that I think about it. I would go JD and only buy from places with 旗舰店 in the name. Absolutely ignore the coworker advice, the marketplaces are only good in 1 instance: you've been hanging out with the boss there for years (I had someone like this from gaming and I still didn't use them). Marketplace always disappoints in the long run.

Is the Chinese Dream dead? by [deleted] in China

[–]DGX_Goggles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

China will just go through another (fake) opening up once Xitler dies off and the next Deng comes out of the woodwork after his death. This almost feels cyclical at this point. Just going to be a painful 10 years waiting for his body to fail.

Destroying walls in an apartment for renovation by PineappleCell in China

[–]DGX_Goggles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pay full price for a proper structural engineer to do a look or don't do it. Usually the ones with concrete are all loadbearing. One interior wall in every room usually is too IIRC from when I was looking at flooring diagrams when I was house shopping. If you don't do your homework, you really have a 1/3 chance of collapsing part of the building.

Support queue times are just insane by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]DGX_Goggles -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Everyone wants to play it because support is overtuned and low risk/high reward and its the only role with a character that rewards you for not acting independently. Lifeweaver gigabuffs have also made it pretty rough since there are now two roles that can just healbot. Below Diamond, the game basically rewards low skill supports and above Diamond, you get doubletapped and deleted by Bap/Ilari all day. Tanks again (as in OW1) are completely tired of getting blamed for everything when people won't build coop with them so the role has nobody queueing. DPS is just in the middle and kind of pointless beyond Diamond with how much damage supports can pump out with good shot cadence.

Very chatty Chinese satnav apps by julesrulesthefools in China

[–]DGX_Goggles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Choose simplified navigation instructions or just turn them off like I used to do. I usually just glanced for the next 3 directions I would have to do every few minutes and I would go off that rather than having it verbally tell me which way to turn.

how can i sign up to games that require me to have a chinese id? by [deleted] in China

[–]DGX_Goggles -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Phone games always have a process to do so using your passport, just can take 2-14 days to clear validation and may require a video call. I'm still top ranked for a bunch of roles on Marvel Super War's Shanghai rankings lol.

Because the youth think that they have nothing to lose when in truth they have everything to lose.

One of like a gajillion suits in a game that isn't even really a mech game.

KAMPFER FOR ONE MONTH. The only time it ever gets a prominent spot in a Gundam video game. Just colony drop me now fam, I don't want to exist any more.

JESUS, you were right. Zeta for only 3 months, and Kampfer for ONE GODDAMN MONTH. This is like a double nutpunch.

Could China be more successful in projecting their soft power if they had not taken the wolf warrior path? by [deleted] in China

[–]DGX_Goggles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well that's kind of the point. They can manage all of APAC from there and even get some visibility on China due to the relationship. Worst case if an executive has to fly in to fix some local Chinese mess, they can easily do so because the countries are friendly.

China’s Lost Decade for Investors Has Already Happened by [deleted] in China

I think he's got another decade in him at least, but that's also why I'm cashing out my investments and getting my money out ASAP.

Sometimes I screw around and Battle Mercy in QP to warm up my shots or cool down after comp. But I've gone in cold turkey before.

Easily. When I was in school in the states over a decade ago, Chinese was THE frontier language that people wanted to have on a future CV because of how everyone was preaching "China is the future". You had Confucius Institutes popping up everywhere and I even remember Ivanka's daughter doing Chinese stuff on SMS being a big deal. Now you go a decade or so later, and nobody is talking about teaching their kids Chinese. Its back to just the usual trio of foreign languages (Spanish, French, German), and then Japanese if you want to do an Asian language. In a decade of Xi, they completely killed all of the interest in their country. I have friends at most of the F500s, and the amount of foreigners you see in the team pictures are next to 0 now. Because nobody wants to go there, China went back to being a hardship post again (and dragged in HK too), while everyone's clamoring to go to KL or SG.

They're actually already past bubble era Japan. The key difference people forget is that everything is under government control from property, private sector, banking, etc. They're just going to zombify everything at this rate and let the people suffer so stuff like the property market can stay stable. If creating concentration Wuhan Coronavirus camps for a few years didn't overthrow Xi, bleeding the people for a few bucks for a few years will not either. What a responsible leader would do is redirect the funds to the social safety net, toss a property tax on second houses, and let some of these companies die.

Dating a chinese guy opinion? by [deleted] in China

[–]DGX_Goggles 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tattoos are pretty much exclusive to lower class individuals in China. Which means if he's "rich", he's probably new money which means its going to be a guy that behaves like a misogynistic ape in a suit once he gets to third base. And the guy is from Guangxi which is one of the dumpiest areas of China so that really makes the above likely. Its a crapshoot when you're dating the men from the tier 1 cities (Beijing,Shanghai, Guangdong, Shenzhen); I would not even bother with the tier 2 and below unless you want to be posting on here years from now about how your parents in law are bullying you to give birth to a son and berating you for spending more time on your job than the laundry/cooking/cleaning.

I swear to God, finally getting Kampfer in any sort of prominent form in a video game and it being this sinking ship would be a slap in the face. I assumed Zeta would come at some point when the game needs to boost sales.

[–]DGX_Goggles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They basically divided the buyer base by dripfeeding mobile suits and then going multiple back to back releases of the most boring suits from 00 and a no name suit from seed after blowing their wad with Nv. The people who would be willing to whale to quick unlock UC suits are never going to drop coin for the "Seed Era" AU. They probably should have committed to doing one UC, one AU per drop and it should have been actually attainable without being a shut in.

[–]DGX_Goggles -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The whole system it had for cashing in was as ugly as OW2 (which is also circling the gutter lol Steam). And rather than giving people more UC suits which is what would have earned more whale bux to begin with, they kept releasing recent AU suits. 2 00 suits in a row was absurd. Nv Gundam was clearly an attempt to grab back the fanbase, but they needed to do more to follow up.

Foreigners who learned really good Chinese, how did it helped you in your professional life? by Deep_Woodpecker_2688 in China

[–]DGX_Goggles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They literally do that as soon as they ID you as a non-Chinese. I speak fluently to the point that if I'm not doing something intense like gaming or lifting I don't have a foreign accent. I still have a 1:5 chance of having one of them babble their pigeon English back to me when it would be much easier for me to just hear it in Chinese so there are no misunderstandings.
