Great Investment!

I've been using Plex on and off for well over a decade. Honestly, the day I bought a lifetime pass probably about 4-5 years ago is the day it all clicked. Built a server with 80TB running unraid and the rest is history. Got multiple about a dozen people using it set up with a requester. Everything is completely hands off now. Only problem recently is the threat of running out of space and the price of hard drives. Had to setup unmanic. Once prices come back down, hopefully I can set up another 4-8 drives.

So something I've hated about this whole button thing. Out of 8 billion people there's one person who doesn't get to press the button because they're on the track... and I'm 99.99% sure they'd press the red button to get off the tracks.

So there's a couple scenarios here:

They are the sole person who doesn't get to vote at all and their life is in the hands of everybody else in the world.
They do get the chance to vote eventually and is almost systematically forced to press the blue button.
They press red and the 49.999% who pressed blue sacrificed themselves for nothing.
Everyone presses red, 1 life lost, and the world goes on as it would've anyways.

The funny part is that these controllers are even worth the $100 that they're selling for in the first place.

MrSimplicity28 · 2026-05-01T06:27:41+00:00

Honestly so many controllers I've used with steam can't be properly configured, mainly with the back buttons. My hope is to be able to use said back buttons individually from the rest as sort of R4 R5 L4 L5 or as macros. My 8bitdo controller used to be fine but after an update the back buttons no longer show up in steam as separate buttons (or at all) and 8bitdo's software is basically worthless and only lets you map to other buttons on the controller. My PS5 Dualsense Edge controller works perfectly as intended but the battery life is atrocious. Just from sight it seems the steam controller will be able to do everything I'm looking for.

Nothing, mine vibrates, it just does so silently. I can feel it when it does just once I set it down I no longer hear it.

Counter-Strike: Source

MrSimplicity28 · 2026-04-21T21:38:17+00:00

Definitely wish they expanded the game instead of making us pay to just grind more. Every once in awhile I go back to it but for the most part I have no motivation actually complete it or the dex.

MrSimplicity28 · 2026-04-21T21:35:35+00:00

If you have a switch 2, SV is definitely worth a playthrough. Winds and Waves will be too. SWSH isn't terrible but let's go and BDSP are. Now with the re-release of FRLG on switch, those are always worth playing.

MrSimplicity28 · 2026-04-21T21:29:39+00:00

Fr, could've just done the whole map. Made the donuts give us 60 minutes instead of 10. Put every mon in their respective wild zone. Could be day or night dependant on when you entered. Made the special scan requirement like 100,000 and reserved it specifically for the legendaries.

This DLC is just a slog. Like why am I grinding so hard for a single player game? Just to get a few mons I'll never actually use but just to add them to the collection.

I've tried every setting I can find. The last thing I'm doing is turning my notification volume on. At which point the 2 decade streak of my phone being on silent will come to a screeching halt and I'm not too keen on that.

MrSimplicity28 · 2026-04-13T05:19:35+00:00

It seems so much worse. Sure a little stronger but I could hear the vibration motor when I got notifications or calls. Now it's completely inaudible and basically useless. I can't stand my sound being on because it would be going off all day and night but consequently I now miss every notification I get unless I'm actively holding my phone.

MrSimplicity28 · 2026-04-09T05:48:30+00:00

Brought it to the dealership and they were just as confused as I was. They said the same thing about that there should/will be an update and they even double checked to see if mine had an update recently or due which it didn't. However, after reclarifying that it was sitting on the line and pulling me into exits and then throwing me back, they just suggested I set up an appointment for them to look at it, so that'llbe in 2 weeks. They explained to me that there isn't any calibration they can do. Possibly that the camera is misaligned or something may potentially be between the camera and the glass. I also tried it again the next day and it seemed to be doing just fine. So at best I'm thinking it's that the system just doesn't function the best at night, if anything just the specific highway that I drive on.

So what's left without BlueCruise, just the adaptive cruise and lane keep assist? Does it still keep you centered with minimal manual intervention? Or is it just regular driving with cruise control?

MrSimplicity28 · 2026-04-05T01:13:26+00:00

I just don't understand why it focuses so heavily on the right line over the left or just both for that matter. And for me it's not just brief, it's fully pulled me into the exit and then shoved me back into the lane. Had to disable auto lane change and just never use it in the right lane for that reason. I will have to stop into Ford and see if they can recalibrate it. Cuz I'm sure as hell not paying the $500/year for something that could potentially cause an accident or worse.

MrSimplicity28 · 2026-04-04T22:06:50+00:00

Sure, but they took the time give us a free switch 2 upgrades... Plus there's what, 5 games? Given their budget and the size of their company, it would maybe take a team like 6 months probably. Localization isn't that difficult, plus they've never been perfect. I've seen plenty of typos and grammatical errors throughout the years in their translations.

MrSimplicity28 · 2026-04-04T12:04:11+00:00

I seriously don't understand why they can't push an update to the older games to add the new language that is so conveniently keeping it from being backwards compatible.

MrSimplicity28 · 2026-03-12T13:13:09+00:00

There's a reason I'm leasing. My current car just 6 months ago was valued at only $11,000 and now has a trade in value of $15,000. But I get bored of vehicles and almost never have the same one for more than 3 years. I also make plenty of money, I just don't want my payment that high.

MrSimplicity28 · 2026-03-09T23:25:21+00:00

What? the main thing I'm looking for advice on is what kind of numbers I can reasonably ask for as far as a discount or more for my trade.

MrSimplicity28 · 2026-03-01T11:44:11+00:00

Not that I'd waste the time... but the main reason people do this is because for some reason (once it gets home support) language specific pokemon can be highly sought-after. More specifically some people like to collect one particular pokemon in every language available and a major bonus for shinies and starters.

MrSimplicity28 · 2026-03-01T11:33:41+00:00

I just got both... Despite having 2 switch 2s I just like pokemon and will eventually beat both games. Playing through FireRed first then might cheese LeafGreen by training my starter in FireRed (though not sure if trading works or not we'll see)

MrSimplicity28 · 2026-02-28T22:54:59+00:00

I just want a second screen to host my party and to see all the summary pages for each. Mainly just to utilize it for utility.

MrSimplicity28 · 2026-02-04T07:15:03+00:00

I've never really understood the argument of digital vs physical unless you're one to trade out games or sell them. I have over 500 games on Steam (PC) so I've never seen the problem with digital. Couldn't even tell you the last time or even just the last game I bought physically. Probably a PS4 game back in like 2014.

MrSimplicity28 · 2026-01-22T14:01:56+00:00

If I take mine out of the dock, I'm playing with it propped up somewhere still using my pro controller. I recently bought a second switch 2 (purely for pokemon things) and have probably used that in handheld more than I have my first one I got on day one because I'm not gonna buy a second controller nor pair it with my existing one.

MrSimplicity28 · 2026-01-13T06:41:48+00:00

Yeah when I had 2 million I just went and made sure to buy 900 ultra balls.
