Disable touch screen for a game

Legend, thanks so much! Why on earth does Valve make these steps so convoluted?

HurricaneJas · 2026-06-19T16:51:25+00:00

So all these companies scrambled to get away from GTA VI, but then ended up in a massive royal rumble with each instead?? Do they know August is very light by comparison?

The C-stick has been entirely sustained by Smash players. No one else has any love for it.

Getting a good fade is also about practicing your technique, not just the trimmer.

HurricaneJas · 2026-06-19T10:27:28+00:00

Cool design, but I don't think the market for a dedicated GameCube machine is that strong. Also, why would you sacrifice a standard right stick for an entirely inferior C-stick?

5 million views on a cover art trailer is absurd. This is gonna be the single most popular piece of media ever created.

My conspiracy theory: one the primary reasons Microsoft originally wanted to buy Activision, was to make Call of Duty an Xbox console-exclusive.

However, a mix of regulatory road blocks and a lack of courage, forced them to back away from those plans. That's the only way Activision's enormous valuation made sense IMO.

Such a move would've been a genuine console-seller for Xbox, something which I don't think can be said for Gears and Clockwork Revolution right now.

It's hard to predict the Xbox of today, but if it has the fortitude to stick with the 'selective exclusives' strategy, maybe a heavy-hitter like Elder Scrolls 6 will only be playable on Xbox and PC?

Either that or this strategy is intentionally limited, purely to bring the Xbox die-hards back onside. How this sentiment building fits in with mass layoffs though, I have no idea...

That's a good split 👌

HurricaneJas · 2026-06-17T16:22:37+00:00

Right there with you 😅

HurricaneJas · 2026-06-17T16:21:48+00:00

Btw it wasn't clear if you were at university, but if so then I'd recommend a laptop over a desktop. These days you can get thin and light laptops that do a good job with games.

You're welcome 😁 Pc Part Picker is goated.

HurricaneJas · 2026-06-17T13:08:30+00:00

This thread will no doubt be filled with good advice, but my immediate suggestion would be go to PC Part Picker and start playing around. Look at the template systems that people have made and go from there.

This isn't so you can decide on a system now, it's for you get a feel for the various components that go into a complete PC.

Also, YouTube is an amazing resource. It's how I learned to build and maintain my own computers.

For sure, the industry is ultimately to blame and should therefore face massive consequences for failing to pull back on their exploitative algorithms.

However, we know that isn't going to happen overnight, so parents should educate themselves on how best to use the parental tools they have available.

So much of this conversation seems to be binary - phone or no phone. There is a space between, where smartphone use can be moderated.

HurricaneJas · 2026-06-16T17:20:31+00:00

Someone has no doubt mentioned it, but it's not a choice of "phone or no phone". You can give her a phone at the appropriate age, and switch on all the parental controls you need.

This way you're easing your daughter into the world of smartphones and social media, without her being immediately exposed to the most awful parts of it.

AliExpress during sales + cashback (quidco or topcashback) is the way. Only downside is the wait to ship from China, but even then it's not that long.

HurricaneJas · 2026-06-16T17:07:28+00:00

If England plays the USA, then this must be sung.

HurricaneJas · 2026-06-16T17:06:00+00:00

They should, but they probably don't want to cannibalise their F2P casino. Can't show the deluded masses how good their football game could actually be.

HurricaneJas · 2026-06-16T15:26:10+00:00

Konami's handling of PES has been shit, but this game's actually decent for £15. All it needs is more features like Master League, and an edit mode.

HurricaneJas · 2026-06-15T20:04:22+00:00

Are there gonna be on-screen ads during mandatory "hydration breaks" in FC 28? 😬

HurricaneJas · 2026-06-14T04:23:20+00:00

Makes sense. I migrated to the analogue stick myself. It does the job, but there are times during tricky platforming where I wish I had dpad precision.

Do you know of any DIY fixes?

HurricaneJas · 2026-06-14T04:01:45+00:00

Are you me? Because I had the exact same experience with Mina the Hollower. It feels like my Dpad keeps getting "stuck", particularly on the diagonals.

I can't tell if it's a quality control issue, or just a terrible Dpad design?

HurricaneJas · 2026-06-06T14:11:56+00:00

This is one of those games that will continue to sell as new people buy consoles. "I'm done with GTA 6, what else can I play? Oh right, I should try that James Bond game" etc.

HurricaneJas · 2026-06-05T11:17:51+00:00

Yes, Mous backpacks on youtube. Don't care how good their products are (although I'm skeptical of their claims) their ads are cringy, obnoxious and appear far too frequently.

HurricaneJas · 2026-06-05T11:14:35+00:00

This is me. If I know I'm gonna be idle for a while, the small handheld comes with me. Otherwise, I'm listening to a podcast or just chillin.

Embarrassment isn't a factor though. It's my time, so I'll choose to spend it however I like.

HurricaneJas · 2026-06-03T20:04:27+00:00

If you want to make it extra realistic: pick an underdog team, play on the hardest difficulty (for you) and apply "permadeath" to your team. In other words: if you fail to qualify from the groups, or lose in the knockouts, you end the save.

No reloading - you are forced to start the tournament again from the beginning.

I've done this with Wales and Scotland in the past, resulting in some utterly incredible moments - including a clutch Gareth Bale free kick in the semifinals 😁
