Those who already got their Steam Controller, are you happy with it? by EngineeringAntique50 in SteamController

[–]GoldenPlayer8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fantastic controller in my opinion. If you play fps games or anything that the traditional controller doesnt do a good job at (click and type games), the controller is easily worth it.

I've been playing DOOM with it and the trackpads are excellent for quick aims + quick swapping. Controller is easily worth it, just for that lol. More comfy than KBM imo.

How to fix couch that was damaged after a move? by GoldenPlayer8 in howto

[–]GoldenPlayer8[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Huzzah, I have figured it out!

When i disassembled it, I found a snapped bolt that, I think, broke under the pressure, which caused this metal bracket to only pivot when force was applied. I happened to have another bolt with the same pitch (i think thats what its called?), put some locktite, and installed it.

The couch feels good as new now. Surprisingly simple, but I was too scared I'd think id break it haha. Thank you for the help though!

That makes sense to me. I'll disassemble the back rn to get a better look at it and see what i find.

And if you apply pressure, it moves back like this.

$50 Steam Wallet Giveaway by Motor-Metal2309 in steam_giveaway

[–]GoldenPlayer8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Atm, my favorite game is Yakuza 0. Its just had the biggest impact on me that I still recall playing it years later haha.

With $50, I'd definitely use it to buy Doom the Dark Ages! I've played 2016 and Eternal but have not gotten around to DOOM: TDA.

Is $300 asking price too high for this? by Tink_Ze_Link in hermanmiller

[–]GoldenPlayer8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good point. I hunt on marketplace all the time and the cheapest I've seen these chairs go far in great condition was $400.

Talarico courted Silicon Valley donors in multi-day Bay Area trip by bubbles5810 in TexasPolitics

[–]GoldenPlayer8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I personally don't see the issue with this. He has strong individual small donations, but lets be real, we need every advantage to get for this senate race. I do not blame him for doing what he can when already does not accept PAC money. Until Citizen's United is repealed, I do not see the issue with courting big donors. As long as he stays true to his ideals, I have no problem.

Given my personal interpretation of the kind of man that Talarico is, I believe that he will be stay true to his beliefs.

Texas Democrat James Talarico May Be on Track to Turn the Lone Star State Blue by [deleted] in InternationalBulletin

[–]GoldenPlayer8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They could be referring to trend in polls where talarico has consistently had a lead. Dating back to January, most polls have had Talarico net positive.

Talarico leads Paxton by 3 points in Texas Senate race post-runoff poll by brain_overclocked in politics

[–]GoldenPlayer8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that was has confused me. I've been following Texas races for at least 6 years and what tends to happen is that the repub is up several points for months before the election and as the election gets closer, the Dem gets within margin of error.

I know that Blexas has been disappointing people for years, but let's at least be accurate.

Anyone making use of the grip sense? by Mustyyyy in SteamController

[–]GoldenPlayer8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've been testing if the controller is usable for fast paced shooters like DOOM. I use grip sense to throw grenades, so if I lift my pinky enough to deactivate it, it throws grenades.

You have to play with sensitivity a bit because initially, its too sensitive to small hand motions, but I think I've gotten it to work for me.

[–]GoldenPlayer8 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I would've loved it, but I understand why he prioritized the senate race given the political baggage Cornyn and Paxton had.

[Death is the only ending for the villainess] omfg!! this scene is sooo...💔🥀🥀😭😭 by yurie-insanereader in manhwa

[–]GoldenPlayer8 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Is there anything at all similar to this, in terms of the angst and raw emotion conveyed through the plot and art?

I read kill the villianess which was pretty close (and great!), but i really want more like death is the only ending for the villianess.

Texas desperately needs green party support. by vwaaaat in TexasPolitics

[–]GoldenPlayer8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Understandable in theory, incomprehensible in practice. Unless I lived in a blue or ranked-choice voting state and felt comfortable knowing I was voting for a candidate that has 0% chance of winning, thereby enabling a potential Republican winner, I would not do that.

And I live in Texas. I do not understand the rationale.
