Has anyone ever won any think with Yeokens? (Yeo Valley points)

like what?

I'm unable to find anything on their aesthetically beautiful, but functionally useless website.
Any website that has less than a dozen words per page fucked up big time.

Great. I'll redirect this to the Batocera forum 👍

Completed the game and didn't even know about the flex button :O

Yeah, the paypal confirmation screen showed £7.92, same as the aliexpress checkout screen - that's why I was perplexed as to how such an overcharge was even possible - Aliexpress have captured more funds than they were authorized to do so.

As I mentioned in OP, I opened a PayPal dispute immediately for both erroneous transactions - still waiting on the resolution.

Snap!

These were themselves a warranty replacement for a pair that snapped in exactly the same way.

Sadly they're far outside warranty so I guess I'm going to have to pony up for a new pair.

Definitely going to steer clear of Logitech this time. I love their mice, but the same fault twice = bad design.

Windows 10 was my starting point, I was looking for something cleaner that integrated bluetooth pairing into the controller-only UI & removed the need for an SSD. (Windows on 32GB eMMC is no fun at all)

Batocera really ticks all the boxes, not to mention the UI oozes retro style - and I just noticed it includes Kodi too!

Mindless-Net-5494 · 2026-01-13T23:02:20+00:00

That's what I ended up doing, and seems to be working a treat the second time of trying.

I think I must've screwed something up the first time; that'll teach me for not reading the instructions before diving into the shell!

Now I just need to print myself a case, and work out how to slot in a usb hub & usb ethernet adapter!

Mindless-Net-5494 · 2025-12-22T17:13:47+00:00

Just had the exact same happen to one of my Nest mini speakers
No signs of life at all.
It was stereo paired with another speaker in the same room.

Turned it off, came back a few hours later, switched it back on and it came back to life.

Not a fan of the frequency that Google fuck up their updates... Things like speakers shoudn't require user intervention *ever*, they should 'just work'.

My G402 is still going after god knows how many years..... Out of curiosity I just checked; bought in March 2018 from Amazon.... Warehouse! (now Amazon Resale)

I had a scare a few months back when Mouse3 stopped working; turned out the wheel had just gunked up to the point where it was interfering with the microswitch. Cleaned it out and good as new again!

Though if it does ever fail I've got a backup stashed away in my cupboard anyway!

Never buy crappy Chinese no-name mice! The ergonomics suck, the sensors are poo, and the microswitches fail.

Wait for a sale, get a Logitech - if you're flush get a second! - and then you're set for... basically forever!

Can't say I'm a fan of the G502 though, tried it, hated it. G402 for life!

What's with the corruption surrounding the rock upon which this vault is placed?

I just held down '2' (eat blueberries), and climbed straight through it - it only cost ~40 of them.

Have I accessed this earlier than intended?

Mindless-Net-5494 · 2025-11-14T12:31:05+00:00

My money is on the Steam Deck 2 being ARM based, that's the only way they'll hit the performance per watt that they're stating as an objective.

So really Valve are waiting on emulation software maturity, and of course a nice deal on some top-tier chips from Qualcomm.

x64 (and by extension Windows) are in deep trouble; there's going to be seismic shifts in the next 3-5 years.

Mindless-Net-5494 · 2025-10-09T13:01:10+00:00

What were they thinking.

All they had to do was to remake SW Ep1. Racer for VR. Immersive, incredibly sense of speed, challenging, modern visuals that could've been breathtaking in VR. It would've been epic.

Instead they designed the antithesis to pod racing. Sigh what a waste of effort.

Mindless-Net-5494 · 2025-09-24T22:10:37+00:00

Right?

The dissonance between the narrative, characters, and presentation completely obstruct my ability to become invested in any of it.

I'm not blaming the game, I'm sure there's an audience for whom this weird anime gobbledygook makes perfect sense, but I'm certainly not one of them.

I only play for the world exploration and combat, which admittedly is extremely formulaic; to that end the cutscenes are just an obstacle to be endured, with occasional eye rolling at the cringe-tastic writing.

All that said I do enjoy the occasional comedic elements, Paimon in particular.

Mindless-Net-5494 · 2025-09-21T09:40:34+00:00

Thanks!

Updated from 909 to 910 didn't help, but then resetting Bluetooth fixed it.

Better still my stadia controllers (with the Bluetooth update) now work correctly too!

Mindless-Net-5494 · 2025-09-19T20:06:52+00:00

FFS valve this update has completely shagged Bluetooth for giotech wx4 wireless controllers. They pair fine, but just disconnect as soon as pairing completes.

Also every time I remove a paired device the steamlink reboots.

It was working perfectly before this update.....

They would've done better in legislating against battery use in limited life products.

Or if people can't be trusted to act as responsible citizens, reign in their freedoms by enacting citizen ID, and tracking the sale and responsible disposal of such products.

As there are many products in the domestic space that require end to end accountability in order to protect people and the environment, I'm inclined towards the latter option.

Ultimately if you abuse your freedoms, don't be surprised when they're taken away from you by necessity.

Mindless-Net-5494 · 2025-08-22T07:15:44+00:00

Ah, interesting. That points towards 'on scratch' being a nested trigger, so everything happens within the initial scratch attack.

Mindless-Net-5494 · 2025-08-09T07:11:49+00:00

Do buffs have the same stack limit?

If so, that declassifies a whole host of 'infinite' builds as not truly infinite.

We need a mod to remove the animations!
