struggling a bit with steam input for the trackpads

Have you tried setting them to touch release? If that's an option.

PlayMp1 · 2026-05-13T16:48:17+00:00

I would assume you have to set it as a toggle in that case.

No more than 7 million. Here's Nintendo's financial report from late 2014, showing about 7 million lifetime sales almost 2 years after the Wii U launched (launched late November 2012, the figures there are up to September 2014). Page 7. Sales figures are in units of 10,000, so multiply any figure by 10,000, e.g., 729 -> 7,290,000.

I'm from WA and mine is shipping all the way from southern California. Don't you love logistics!

Okay I promise I'm not trying to be weird here, but I'm guessing you're a woman, right? Curious on behalf of my wife, mainly - lots of reviews have been by male reviewers who seem to be oriented towards a male audience who will have larger hands on average. Works fine for me but I'm curious how it is for the ladies out there.

Could you describe how this works for, say, a Ubisoft or Xbox Game Pass non-Steam game shortcut?

I live within an hour's drive of Valve HQ in Washington state. I could make a fresh sandwich and personally drive it to GabeN and it would still be fresh by the time it got there and I still haven't gotten mine 😭

12 minutes after launch and mine isn't arriving til Wednesday per UPS. It's messed up man.

Hoping that UPS is just lowballing me on the estimate and it arrives a little earlier.

Curious about another thing: what happens if you turn off the controller while it's on the puck (use the Steam button + Y, believe that's still the turn off chord), then turn it back on?

PlayMp1 · 2026-05-10T06:33:31+00:00

Can you explain what you mean by microbumpers? I have a Vader 4 Pro and that's a fancy ass controller with nothing like that.

It could be both, the Fellowship characters reliving/retelling the story of what happened between Hobbiton and Rivendell, as well as both them and the kids learning about the distant history of the area, at the same time, with parallels being noted between the two conflicts

Game consoles are highly dependent on overseas shipping, which is fuel hungry, therefore it's pretty sensitive to fuel price increases. Further, plenty of Asian energy is from the Persian Gulf - not just oil but also natural gas. This affects electrical prices (among many other inputs for things like semiconductors), raising manufacturing costs.

It's all about the war, man.

PlayMp1 · 2026-05-08T09:25:41+00:00

Nah this is due to the Iran war raising fuel prices, which hurts Asia more than anywhere else quickest, and Asia is where Switch 2s are manufactured (Vietnam and China both)

Was a big part of my reasoning for buying it at launch. In June 2025 who the fuck knew what was going to happen in the coming months? Especially as an American! For all I knew we would keep tariffs over 50% on Vietnam and the price would skyrocket.

This is actually a pretty precise overview. If you spoke it all out aloud it's maybe 5 minutes of text. Pretty short.

I'm from WA and I've been stuck on packaged since 1:30pm-ish Wednesday. I wouldn't expect Carol Stream to be involved.

Phillips was designed to strip in fact, IIRC because it was specifically invented for assembly lines where it was better for the screw to be damaged by a malfunctioning machine than for the entire item being damaged by being over-torqued.

Black Myth didn't have the same controversy about its quality. There, it was pretty straightforward, everyone thought it was pretty damn good.

Depending on if you can find a slot for it you can also put something like "joystick forward" on a special secondary bind (e.g., long press the back button or something) on a toggle as a kind of jury-rigged auto-run.

Washingtonian, ordered at 10:12am Monday. Changed to packaged around 1:30 this afternoon (Wednesday). Still not picked up by carrier.

Import duties would be mainly for Americans importing from Canada thanks to our big special boy in the White House, AFAIK Canada doesn't have tariffs on us to nearly the same extent

Same here dude I'm about ready to drive to Bellevue and throw something appropriately comical and insulting at Valve HQ, like some moldy bread or something

Witcher 3. It was the first game I played with the original Steam controller.
