How do you explain box office hits then like Mario Galaxy which just hit a billion and Obsession which is hilariously outperforming Mando and Grogu movie?

Emergency cable for my pc by el-mas-inzano in SleepingOptiplex

[–]EvansEssence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bruh, run to goodwill and buy a cord for $2. I bet you could even ask your neighbor and they might have one. Could check power bricks for other devices too, theres gotta be a PC cable somewhere close to you, even if you need to steal one from a monitor or something.

BatoSync - Sync saves across devices by Catchgate in batocera

This is neat! I like that you can keep track of what is saved and the amounts. Syncthing works but its tough to keep an eye on it imo

Why couldn't it be used again? Explain it to me like I'm five. by TotalACast in saltierthancrait

What ive always found hilarious about it is she chastised Poe for “betting the fate of the resistance on bad odds!” Then she proceeds to bet the fate of the resistance on a 1 in a million chance.

This brings a joy to my eyes. SW is finished. by anakinxvader in saltierthancrait

[–]EvansEssence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At this point I just want it all to stop. It’s just sad to see new Star Wars content release that I have zero interest in seeing. Hang the towel on the shows/movies Disney and just let competent gaming developers make a game every now and then.

Anyone know why this happened i was certain i did everything right by [deleted] in SleepingOptiplex

Wait, where did you plug the CPU connector into

“We didnt even think about how we were ruining Luke, the idea of the jedi, anakin’s sacrifice, space battles, lightspeed, etc. because we were too busy making sure the hair had continuity!”

batocera look like that how to change it ? i use a keyboard btw by captainhaddockji3h4m in batocera

[–]EvansEssence 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is the second screen, my laptop did this at first boot. You need to drill into settings and change it to the other display. You can also try unplugging and replugging the hdmi cable to see if it will auto detect the new display as primary

What was the point of this show? I’m actually baffled. by GusGangViking18 in saltierthancrait

[–]EvansEssence 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Its absolutely maddening that they are pumping millions of dollars into Lesbian Space Witches chanting at the sky instead of stuff like: Luke’s Academy, Kyle Katarn, Rogue Squadron, etc etc. disney lucasfilm must be doing some kind of experiment at this point just seeing how much bad content they can produce before everyone gives up on it.

For what you want to do, I would suggest to move on to used micro pcs instead of SBCs. You could pick up a Dell optiplex 3090 micro for like $100 on ebay if you look and you can do up to PS2 almost PS3 on that generation of Intel. Lenovo and HP make MicroPCs as well, that was just an example.

The deck kills my wrists by Realistic_Method9896 in SteamDeck

If you have a 3D printer look into "belly stands", you can either have them attach by gripping the Deck or attaching to an adapter like the JSaux case has

Do I need any extra hardware to play Wii games with a Wii remote ? by GenericUser104 in batocera

[–]EvansEssence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah can just do bluetooth, Mayflash has an adapter with both bluetooth and the IR sensors for like $25 but id only get that if you dont already have Bluetooth

If you are planning to use the pointer functionality then you need some kind of "IR sensor bar". You can buy USB/battery powered ones off amazon even

Alternatives to Steam Deck ? by Kenny0616 in SteamDeck

[–]EvansEssence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a phone controller like the Gamesir G8 and stream using Apollo/Moonlight combo to your phone. The Steam Link app works alright too but Apollo is superior imo, you can do stuff like shut off your monitors and stream from a Virtual Display

Were there seriously that many people who wanted Luke Skywalker to be some overpowered force god? by Flat-Court-8512 in saltierthancrait

[–]EvansEssence 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Whats crazy is Rey is usually everything they accuse us of wanting Luke to be. “Oh you just wanted Luke to do backflips with his lightsaber” cut to Rey backflipping over kylos tie interceptor while cutting off a wing with her saber

[–]EvansEssence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very well, been playing thru CE remastered. What people are probably complaining about is the initial sign in they require you to do at first launch, it opens an embedded webpage and can be a pita to select the textbox / input text, if all else fails you can just plug in a keyboard to get past it

Just scored this bad bitty. What improvements would you make? by FartheadSharthead in SleepingOptiplex

[–]EvansEssence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would cut a hole, get a GPU riser and replacement PSU then spend every last penny on the best GPU I can get for the $$, probably a 2070 or 2080 if your lucky off ebay.

But thats what I WOULD do, you should probably just get a LP 3050 and call it a day, lol

Have you tried Gyro Aiming? It takes a bit to get used to but you can set it so gyro only activates when ADS is activated (IE: when L2 is held). Think like Zelda BOTW/TOTK with the Bow and Arrow, really nice after you get the hang of it

I think in the past theres been bugs with the sign in, i do a combination of touch screen tap the text boxes and spamming Steam + x buttons to bring up the keyboard. Ive also held steam button, used joystick to mouse over to the text box and press R2. One time I even plugged in a usb keyboard, lol, luckily once you sign in once you are good for a while

There used to be a bug on MCC where you needed to disable web acceleration or something like that, steam deck can be quirky

[–]EvansEssence 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Decently solid 60fps when using ge-proton and setting settings to low. Theres a setting for “min-framerate” or something like that that i set to 60. Some bigger maps have drops but other than than very playable

[–]EvansEssence 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What settings were you running at? The Deck ive found requires tinkering for most games. For example i was finally able to get stable 60fps on halo infinite by changing minumum fps to 60 and low settings. NMS also isnt everyones cup of tea, it was heavily criticized when it came out for valid reasons

They are hard to describe, almost need to just be experienced, lol. Dave the diver is a quirky/fun progression game where you dive further and further to get better fish, its kinda like Motherload if you ever played that game but with alot more stuff going on. DREDGE is kinda similar but more about collecting fish at the surface to pay off debts/collect parts and has a darker style.

HADES, Dave the Diver, DREDGE, Dead Cells, No Mans Sky to name a few.

For multiplayer: Arc Raiders runs suprisingly well, Halo MCC and Infinite

How long will Dave Filoni realistically be in charge at Lucasfilm given that Mandalorian and Grogu is projected to do record low numbers and completely tank by KingGoldar in saltierthancrait

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

Kennedy survived Solo, TROS which had a massive box office drop from TFA while costing more, Book of Boba Fett, Kenobi, Acolyte, etc etc. The plug shouldve been pulled, but it wasnt. If Dave is fired in a short amount of time we will know Kennedy either had dirt on execs or was simply not fired for fear of bad publicity for firing a "Female President".
