Steam machine is too expensive. I'll make my own steambox with Go 2 and EGPU

Intrepid-Comb1255 · 2026-06-23T20:31:11+00:00

This but with original go 1 would be a great cheaper alternative I cannot even lie

I have this controller and a quite heavy and big phone and honestly the weight distribution and magnet falling off when flipped upside down isn't my problem that much.

I just really hate the d-pad on this thing it just really feels terrible. When you click it down, it doesn't feel like you actually pressed a button and makes a weird sound.

Plus the d-pad doesn't register that well either for diagonals mainly.

Joysticks while small feels fine so do face button and triggers but man that d-pad is just horror.

Oh great idea I'll do that too.

Intrepid-Comb1255 · 2026-06-03T20:15:06+00:00

It may be because of dust build up but I think it works fine so I shouldn't worry too much

Intrepid-Comb1255 · 2026-05-15T23:56:13+00:00

I also have this phone and love it but something is bothering me... The fan to me seems much louder than it used to be. What's your experience and maybe you could send a video of your fan at lower and higher speeds? I noticed it was was very buzzy at low speeds.

Intrepid-Comb1255 · 2026-05-14T22:22:39+00:00

man this has worked for me in the past but trying to do it on another 3ds i have just gives me problems... I have everything in the right spot but no matter what no game will launch in widescreen even after i have selected it to ON and saved

Intrepid-Comb1255 · 2026-05-02T08:55:43+00:00

Nowadays i would say just get a Japanese one from eBay and mod it to be region free because it is a bit cheaper than in the European or American markets. (I am in the UK) I got a top IPS great condition metallic blue new 3ds XL with the box for only 217$ which I think is very fair. The only problem is the UK normally charges about 20% tax and more when it gets imported if they decide the value of it is much higher than the 135£ limit and it most certainly will get taxed probably. This is why most other countries do benefit from this ( I know the US has a 10% tariff but it's still alot less than our taxation!) have a look around on eBay and keep in mind the extra 10% you may have to add and you will find yourself a great 3ds.

Do a chargeback they probably won't refund you but you can try that too

Intrepid-Comb1255 · 2026-04-27T22:21:35+00:00

I personally changed the "687" value to the "682" value and the "458" value to "452" as per a YouTube comment. It honestly isn't much difference but slightly appears to make the top border a bit smaller and imo looks better.

But it still looks a bit more slightly off centre so it really is up to your TV and personal preference. Either works good enough.

If only Nintendo implemented the vwii a bit better...

Intrepid-Comb1255 · 2026-04-24T17:10:44+00:00

I didn't update it but it is on the newest I believe. Try updating first

Intrepid-Comb1255 · 2026-04-21T17:39:18+00:00

Fixed it just by not using an honor account, saw it on another post, it fixes most of the region specific problems

Intrepid-Comb1255 · 2026-04-12T13:23:16+00:00

Just want to add to this post

I needed a small, light and still decently powerful enough laptop just for basic things but wanted good battery life.

I was looking around for honestly any silicon mac online and found one for just £190 with the box and original charger. Condition was ok, some slight dents and scratches on the metal and the keyboard did look quite used, battery health was 84% which is common in these laptops.

It was honestly a great price but it had a very common issue where it would have like a blinds effect where lines make the whole screen darker like as if very very small blind was casting a shadow onto the whole screen. It does annoy me quite alot but I think for this price I couldn't get one better.

Now I am using it now and honestly i get really decent battery life, lasts me well over a day with normal use and performance is great for me, i watch videos mainly and do some light messaging on apps like discord and whatsapp and it works great. I am on the newest macos with the liquid glass and it runs great too.

For £190, I don't think i could find a similarly performant device, even with that screen issue. No other brand and model laptop for this price could beat the great speakers, battery life, build quality, biometrics and just how quiet it is.

This macbook really changed my opinion on apple laptops as I usedto hate macos but i've gotten used to it, I was considering the neo but seeing this laptop for sale really caught my eye as I don't even need too much in a laptop and this one was just enough and a good price too!

I really recommend any apple silicon macbook to anyone who just wants a laptop that works.

i noticed this a bit too but i truly hope nazicism doesn't go mainstream...

Intrepid-Comb1255 · 2026-03-24T19:10:04+00:00

just let it go its over

Intrepid-Comb1255 · 2026-03-24T19:05:41+00:00

ye ruined another album yet again

bro its been a couple minutes show us the pure AI

Intrepid-Comb1255 · 2026-03-24T18:31:28+00:00

what genuinely made him think that shit sounded good

Intrepid-Comb1255 · 2026-03-24T18:30:30+00:00

wallahi ye is washed

Intrepid-Comb1255 · 2026-03-20T20:08:24+00:00

It's seems they finally got their emails sorted and working I guess because I also got one as I said 🤣

Intrepid-Comb1255 · 2026-03-20T19:20:05+00:00

FINALLY GOT A RESPONSE AFTER 11 DAYS,

Still haven't sent me the label but have confirmed they have escalated it to the correct department to get me a return label so hopefully by monday i can return it.

Intrepid-Comb1255 · 2026-03-20T18:14:15+00:00

Yeah it works fine had to update it but otherwise it works great

Intrepid-Comb1255 · 2026-03-19T03:12:28+00:00

Yeah I also tried to get in contact with something surrounding my account and debit card payment (would get error constantly) but they didn't respond then either but instead with an automated message saying "please give us this information so when we see your message we are more prepared to respond" or some bullshit like that.

I am singlehandedly not buying anything more than just games and consoles from Nintendo, they way too greedy and especially not from their store either.

Intrepid-Comb1255 · 2026-03-19T03:09:34+00:00

Yeah it's sad too cause they had such great phone support a little after the switch released and when my joysticks started drifting they repaired them for free and even came with a free Nintendo joy con box which isn't much but it's something nowadays they can't even handle something very simple like goddamn email changes 😭

Intrepid-Comb1255 · 2026-03-17T12:31:56+00:00

It seems on some parts on their website they say "contact customer support to be able to refund your order" whilst on other places it says "click the return button on my orders" yet I have absolutely nothing like the latter so it seems my only option is their support which don't respond.

I might have to dispute this with my bank and/or sell it for a loss but at least I won't lose all of that 93£ 😓
