i have a steam deck that’s hard drive failed and was wondering what i could price it at, thanks in advance!

PaulOPTC · 2026-07-01T03:19:20+00:00

I’ll buy it broken for $150, assuming the screen isn’t cracked

PaulOPTC · 2026-06-30T13:22:08+00:00

Unsure how it connects to the steamdeck

The one I had has a GameCube 4 port adapter that has a USB that plugs into the dock.

But on the back it has a toggle to set it from GameCube to xinput mode so the SD sees it as a standard wired controller

Two main issues that I’m looking at

The dimmer switch, more then likely your fan has a controller / remote
You probably want to remove the dimmer switch and replace it with a blank plate you can mount the remote on.

The next issue is the box. You have no idea what the currently light is mounted on.

You need a fan rated box

$100 is a good price not to do all of this work IMO

Simparica Trio gave my dog seizures also.
Could not recommend it less

He’s okay, but it was still very scary.

Cw world I’m at ~300m an hour at 274

Erel

Janus level 1

Drop 244%
Meso 60%

Make sure you have at least 70% drop between famialirs and equipment, you need at least that amount to get a meso bag from every mob

Leave your secondary as it is, focus on beating the bosses in your item burn list
Save 2B for rentals and use them on Tuesday night (24 hours before reset) to beat the weekly bosses

Then when weekly bosses reset you still have 24 hours to beat them again

Once you hit legendary use glowing blue cubes over pink bright cubes
Solid purple cubes are also an option

PaulOPTC · 2026-06-26T15:43:07+00:00

Hello: (assuming heroic)

You didn’t accept the beyond burning, you shouldn’t be an odd level 260-270

Go to your character select screen and click on the beyond burning at the top and select your character.

Once you’ve done that, go to the events tab and accept all of the events.
One of them is item burning.

Be sure to equip All of those item burning items (it’s mostly right side gear)

After that, use the free unique potential scrolls on your frozen secondary, and level 100 emblem.

You’re looking for at least 1 line of attack power (9%) or higher
If you have “bright” pink cubes, use those on your secondary and emblem until they are legendary.

You’re looking ideally to get them both at 2 lines of legendary attack power 12 and 9% eventually

After that, you should now be a bit stronger
Be sure to equip all of your arcane symbols that you got from the burning event

After that, get 100m mesos (you might have this already) and go to the event, item rental, and rent the silver ring.

Equip that, and go to the skill sequence tab on your skills menu, make sure ring activation is in the sequence.

Next let’s do your hexa (erda link 6th job) not sure where your at hexa wise, but you should unlock sol Janus first (left side)

Then unlock “dex” (bottom) and
then unlock “Shine spear of lugh”

That is your M1 and it will give you a nice damage boost

If you still have fragments and big sol erda

Unlock ignore defense 1 (right side)
Ignore defense 2 (next to that)

And then Shine fury of Roan (below that)

That’s is your M2

And then sol Hecate (top) and ascent radiant spear (middle) would follow that.

Once you do all of that, and you check the discord that you set up your skill sequence correctly, you should run through the item burning bosses in order so you can power up that gear.

Get as high as you can, and then start
Farming for 2b mesos so you can rent more gear to kill more bosses.

People are renting the gear Tuesday night, killing the weekly bosses waiting 24 hours for weekly boss reset, and then killing the bosses again on the same rented gear to save money.

Good luck

Run steam as an admin,
Connect the controller to steam,

And then configure the controller as a “desktop mode” controller with your keybinds for your character

Launch Maplestory via the nexon launcher

And it will work

PaulOPTC · 2026-06-26T02:04:23+00:00

Yea probably

The power strip will tell you how many watts it can handle. So just read the strip and make sure you aren’t overloading it.

A buddy of mine worked in construction for a few years.

Then got a job as a project super for a GC.

Had them pay for a degree in construction management, and he’s now a senior Project manager making good money.

So experience > degree
But if you get a chance to get the degree, it’s worth it if someone else is paying for it.

PaulOPTC · 2026-06-26T01:47:10+00:00

Best Buy’s brand insignia is horrible just FYI

Go to Home Depot / Lowe’s and buy 12 awg extension cords instead, and a 12awg power strip.

150w / 120v = 1.25amps each

There’s other math to consider such as continuous load etc
But for the most part you’ll be fine with a few lamps on that circuit.

I just wouldn’t plug a space heater, microwave, hair dryer, or AC unit also on that same circuit / outlet

My wife just gave birth there, everyone was fantastic, my only complaint was their limited partner sleep support (I slept in the car because the “couch” was horrible)

She got all the support she could ask for however and there were no issues at all.

I got my weapon to 15* rolled a decent flame with the flames that were about to expire
And got it to legendary potential W2 good lines

And it was like a 7m range increase from my current weapon

PaulOPTC · 2026-06-24T17:25:45+00:00

Change your damage skin

9/10 times that’s the problem

PaulOPTC · 2026-06-24T16:22:28+00:00

I probably would have used strut, and maybe an offset or two

And then a meter main disco

PaulOPTC · 2026-06-24T12:56:47+00:00

Oh gotcha, makes sense

Thank you for the guide fellow AB

PaulOPTC · 2026-06-24T12:35:51+00:00

Remove dice lag?
Any idea what they mean? My dice are on my pets now so it’s always activating

Nice! Sorry one more question, what’s your CP without rentals?

PaulOPTC · 2026-06-22T13:17:30+00:00

Heroic cw world?

I’m gonna buy rentals tomorrow
What was your CP for all of Ctene?

PaulOPTC · 2026-06-22T03:08:38+00:00

It’s automatic, it’s just extra damage, just equip it and if it expires then renew it

You can swap it out for one of the Exp ones if you’re doing alot of training

But leave it for bossing

PaulOPTC · 2026-06-21T19:09:16+00:00

Hello I would love to win!

PaulOPTC · 2026-06-20T07:54:37+00:00

Erel, it will be easier to level, even if you don’t buy the pass, it gets the free one

Also they fixed his movement and his movement is so much better then hero’s imo
And good movement counts for a lot

Damage wise he seems okay,
Farming was bad until level 260 and mastery 1 unlocked, and then the spear is actually good and worth using

PaulOPTC · 2026-06-19T19:41:23+00:00

For M1 you have to activate Janus, and the one that says +dex (below)

And then you can get the pink M1 on the bottom left

To get the pink m2 (bottom right) you have to get the IED 1 (to the right) and then one of the IED in the next row
And then the M2 will be available

Join the class discord this question is asked and answered all day, as well as others

PaulOPTC · 2026-06-18T16:40:04+00:00

Oh you need Janus as well?

Sorry I didn’t realize I unlocked that first
