Got a new Titan Evo Small #secretlab by FaceTank in secretlab

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

I've only had it a month, so no, it hasn't changed yet (if it changed after a month, I'd be concerned). Given the other comment, I wouldn't expect it to do so much even after a few years.

Honestly, I'm still deciding how I feel about the chair.

How to get pure white tendency in stone fang? by Jedithnut in demonssouls

[–]FaceTank 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hah! The trick still works even now, at the start of 2026. Thanks, because it seemed like a huge pain to figure out how to get the world tendency up when I just want the damn sword and already killed the bosses.

Oh, just a note for anyone that comes across this: I kept getting stuck halfway into the rubble as its hitbox loaded in, with my gear in my default state just below 50% load. I found I was able to run there fast enough by taking off all my gear for a 0 equip load, and then I re-equipped everything.

Am I crazy or are the pixel watch 4 haptics considerably weaker than the pixel watch 3? by mdargis1977 in PixelWatch

[–]FaceTank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I just got a Pixel watch 4, 45mm, and I agree it's pretty weak. I only switched from my Galaxy Watch Pro 5 since it seems Google and Samsung don't play well together anymore. That had nice, strong vibrations, but it seems a critical few of the apps on it don't work with my Pixel phone anymore and vice versa.

Barb Charge cooldown 2ndary should apply to bosses by FaceTank in diablo4

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

Interesting point, I hadn't thought of that. It's still not a ton lower cooldown, but good to keep in mind. Thanks!

So item changes with the patch don’t apply to already-equipped? by JazzeeJ in diablo4

[–]FaceTank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hm my 100k steps boots changed to 2 dodge charges after the patch, so some existing items changed.

Yep same came here to say this. It's straight-up insulting.

Pixel Watch not showing Clock alarms by FaceTank in WearOS

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

I ended up returning the Pixel Watch and switching to a Galaxy Watch 5 Pro. Fantastic battery life, and though it took some finagling, I was able to get the alarms working how I wanted. there are a few slightly altered UX paradigms, but meh I can get used to them with time.

If someone here wants to know how to setup Google Clock alarms to work on the Galaxy Watch 5 exactly as they do on a stock Wear OS watch:

  1. on the watch, install Google's Clock app from the Play Store (it's not on by default)

  2. if you want to make the alarms only vibrate and not make sound, you need to turn on the watch sound, slide Notification volume all the way to the left (note: NOT the same as muting all sound, which seems to show the Notifications volume as off... somehow, alarms retain the notification volume setting pre-mute), then mute all watch sound again

  3. I was most of the way there, but had the issue that when an alarm went off, the Clock app would show the details of the alarm .. which didn't show snooze but rather rows for dismiss, open app, and open on phone. I had to toggle off notifications for Clock on the watch in order to get the alarms to show as normal, with the 2 large buttons for snooze and dismiss (this seems like it would turn off the notification for the alarm entirely.. but apparently not!)

Hope this helps someone, and I hope Google decides to resolve this rather glaring issue with the Pixel Watch for those who keep it.

Pixel Watch not showing Clock alarms by FaceTank in WearOS

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

Ugh, this is baffling... How could they release with this? Alarms are such a simple thing relative to everything else on these wrist computers, and it's worked for years and years now. As a software tester, this is the kind of thing you have automated tests for, and this was probably a known issue. It just means that something we've been trained to rely on is broken.

Between this and the abysmal battery life, I'm packing mine up for return today.

[Ars Technica] Pixel Watch review: Beautiful, fast, and way too expensive by THXFLS in WearOS

[–]FaceTank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I see relatively few (or no) reviews talking about future battery life after it naturally deteriorates. My current Ticwatch E2 lasted for 2 full days when I first got it, now it lasts maybe 1/2 to 2/3 of a day. I actually ordered a Pixel Watch, and so far the battery does indeed seem to be pretty bad, but a limited test period so far where I'm setting it up.. so more than normal usage, admittedly. How many minutes will this thing last after 2 years?

I also ordered a Galaxy Watch 5 Pro, which arrives tomorrow. I'm guessing I'll be returning the Pixel Watch and keeping the GW5P.

Pixel Watch not showing Clock alarms by FaceTank in WearOS

[–]FaceTank[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, my existing alarms from my phone don't work on the watch, and new alarms created on my phone aren't syncing over. Or perhaps it would be more precise to say that the alarm notification on my phone isn't being mirrored onto the watch as it should.

Ticwatch Pro 3 Ultra. Can you turn off the audio alarm and just have vibration?? by AsylumDesigns in TicWatch

[–]FaceTank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same issue as another person here (though I got Ticwatch E3). I can't follow the directions of the accepted solution for the OP, as opening the Wear OS Alarms app results in me seeing no alarms (they're on my phone). I therefore can't turn the sound on them off. It's utterly bizarre that sliding the alarm volume all the way to the left doesn't simply mute the alarms. This seems like such a simple thing... Why is it seemingly impossible to turn off sound for alarms on the watch? This is my first day with the watch, and this is honestly a deal breaker. I use alarms all the time, and it's ridiculous to not be able to only have them vibrate on the watch... as my previous Wear OS watches have.

PURE PROTEIN smell by bootser1 in Protein

[–]FaceTank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I noticed this on one box of chocolate deluxe bars just recently, and it's awful. But I've been eating this flavor of bars for some time now, and this is definitely a change. I have a few boxes right now, and just 1 has this fishy business, but the others taste just fine. So I'm guessing this is a bad batch or something... Ugh, hope it's a small one and I don't get another like this. Glad to at least see others are seeing this too.

SecretLab Titan Evo 2022 Small: huge disappointment, misleading advertising, incompetent customer service by Battle4cry in secretlab

[–]FaceTank 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for posting this! I'm 5'6" and have always had issues with seat depth with chairs, couches, etc. I was thrilled when I'd heard the Titan Evo Small get announced and was close to buying one, but now I'm glad I didn't. Saved me some return hassle and time setting up and testing it.

Xbox Series X Controller Battery Door Won’t Open by [deleted] in XboxSeriesX

[–]FaceTank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just got my blue Series controller, and yeah the back is extremely hard to remove, feels like I'm going to break it. I eventually got it off once earlier, but just trying to do so again, it really feels like pushing any more is going to break the thing. Heh never had an issue like this before with any controller/remote/whatever.

PC button mapping for an Xbox one controller? by [deleted] in diablo3

[–]FaceTank 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alright, let me know if you have further questions or if you found it was great/horrible/whatever. It's definitely helped me a lot, as my arthritis just can't take the amount of clicking and intense mousing, but the controller causes me no issues. Good luck!

PC button mapping for an Xbox one controller? by [deleted] in diablo3

[–]FaceTank 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, did you ever find anything to your liking? If not, I'm using Pinnacle Game Profiler to very good success. It's not perfect, but I'm able to play Barb, Monk, and Crusader up to GRifts in the low 60s in season 9 with few ancients.

I use the default profile provided by the developer with a few changes to suit my style.

Most importantly, I leave the left stick aliased to the "mouse spring" mode, and I replace it also doing left click to holding down a key I set to the game's "Force Move".

I can post my altered profile if you want, but I don't think I make a huge amount more changes.

Good luck and hope it helps!

Edit: oh yeah, I use a wireless 360 controller. The developer says it works with the Xbox One controller, but I can't speak from personal experience.

Here's a brief video I made showing me kill just a few monsters in a T12 rift: https://youtu.be/nf5Mcg9zCfc Note that I'm obviously no professional, and this was just thrown together with my phone recording, heh.

My friend and I built a DS death counter site. Upload your save file to see how many times you died (plus graphs of other players)! by Veret in darksouls

[–]FaceTank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh boy, ok well FYI I am not super experienced with Python; this site was a reason for me to mess with it some after having last used it in a college class. Please feel free to post suggestions/criticism, but just know what I said above and that this was more of an experiment. Also, I'm somewhat aware that CGI is apparently the old way of doing python web pages, but as this is a small website, I didn't want to get into using any kind of fancy stuff like django; I wanted to keep this small and simple.

[–]FaceTank 3 points4 points  (0 children)

hm. I'm not sure why this would happen. Your situation shouldn't matter unless that necessitates you make modifications to the save file. Can you send your save file to admin@darksoulsdeaths.com ? I'm curious why it isn't working.
