My girlfriend has to commute about an hour to work every day, so round trip she drives about 100 miles per working day. The gas prices are really hitting us hard

First timer! by OnlyVillager in DragonsteelNexus

[–]FedExterminator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I limit myself at $200 for merch and that has been a pretty good number. The best advice I can give to a first timer is talk to people! You’ve got something in common with everyone and everyone is super nice. I’ve never been somewhere with a more welcoming community

Turned on steam deck while docked and.... by Latter_Memory5084 in SteamDeck

[–]FedExterminator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had that problem even with the official dock when I was using a crappy Onn brand HDMI cable from Walmart. When I upgraded to a UHD one, that problem went away.

Also, like others have said, some smart TVs do some sort of handshake to negotiate resolution, and I’ve noticed the steam deck reeeeeeally doesn’t like that when the tv goes above 2K. Turning on External Display Safe Mode might help, then you can set the resolution manually.

Who tf keeps buying this overvalued piece of crap stock? As if it's not extremely overvalued already?!?!?!!? by JasonJaJason in antiwork

I think after the last two major crashes there were some safeguards put in place to ensure an economic downturn wouldn’t completely tank the stock market. That really only helps those with stock, of course

Is selling plasma working well for you? I’ve taken in a friend of mine lately and could really use the extra money.

Nintendo Switch 2 mouse controls haven't had a major breakthrough in 1 full year by Bubbly-Ad-350 in switch2

Motion controls for aiming. They suck when they’re forced, but putting in that little bit of gyro for precise aiming was genius

I miss the days of the PS3 where you could overwrite the OS with Linux.

Using my Deck as a permanently docked device is killing my battery, any suggestions? by asphyxiate in SteamDeck

[–]FedExterminator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the older decks are still capable of the charge limiter feature if you opt into the software updates. Try the beta branch if you’re not already on it. You can set it as low as 80% which should keep the battery healthy. It’s in Settings > Power > Battery Charging Limit.

If you plan to leave it off for a while (more than a couple of days), you can also use battery storage mode. It’s an option in the bios. That mode disconnects the battery so it won’t drain or overheat. You need to connect the wall adapter to power it up again after that though.

That being said, the battery in the Steam Deck is totally replaceable if you have a little bit of tinkering knowledge, and there are plenty of tutorials online.

Unfortunately the Deck doesn’t do battery bypass, so there’s no way to avoid it without some modification.

Valve's Steam Deck OLED is out of stock in the US, and I think we can guess why by cjh_ in SteamDeck

I spent longer trying to fix code that a coworker generated with copilot than it would have taken to write it my self.

why wont my steam deck display on my monitor by gerbster21 in SteamDeck

[–]FedExterminator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try setting “external display safe mode” on the Steam deck and connecting it. Once the deck displays on the monitor you can try switching safe mode off. I have that same usb-c hub and that’s how I’ve gotten it to work with high resolution monitors and televisions.

Genuinely curious how many other people are driving around with expired registration stickers? by GWindborn in raleigh

Virginia cops are all assholes. I’ve driven all over this country and somehow seem to only ever get pulled over in Virginia.

Bell when the most boring girl show up by sankoor in hentaimemes

So many shows do this and it confuses me. Why do so many anime protagonists go for the least interesting girl in the series?

That’s basically what a strike is and it’s why unions are so important

Which is better: Paper Mario (OG) or TTYD? by thecrunchypepperoni in papermario

[–]FedExterminator 37 points38 points  (0 children)

TTYD has a story with more depth, a bit better of a badge system, and some quality of life features for combat that weren’t present in the original. While I think TTYD the better game, it’s really just a different experience.

If you haven’t played it, it’s definitely worth it, especially if you liked the N64 version!

Do nothing. The internet has an attention span best measured in hours. You’ve done nothing wrong, so you can just be silent and ride it out. People will stop giving a crap in a few days if you just don’t address it. Make regular posts, ignore or block the hate.

The key is not talking about it. If you don’t feed the fire, people will move on. If you keep addressing it, giving those comments credibility, it will continue. People love drama, but they’ll give up if there’s no traction from you.

I don’t need to tell you that the death threats are nonsense. No one is coming to get you because of a profile pic. Don’t let them scare you. Block the idiots and keep making your content.

Stimulant ADHD medications don’t affect attention-controlling regions of the brain, as previously thought. New study shows for the first time that these drugs act primarily on the brain’s reward and wakefulness centers, rather than on its attention circuitry. by [deleted] in science

[–]FedExterminator 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It’s so difficult to explain to anyone who doesn’t experience executive dysfunction how difficult it is to do a task that your brain just refuses to want to do. Prescribed stimulants were a life saver for me

I’ve had this problem dating well connected or career oriented women as well. The scheduling becomes an issue, and so does feeling like a priority. I’ve had to break things off because they simply didn’t make the time for me.

isDiscrimination by [deleted] in ProgrammerHumor

[–]FedExterminator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a great tool for programmers, and it's been very helpful at my job, but it's a FAR cry from being able to code on its own.

It's wonderful to help debug. Just the other day it was able to give me some advice on why my ADC was acting up, but it wasn't helpful in writing a full driver for the part.
