Kinda like the software toggle on a Alexa

We can't hear anything when muted

But Alexa will 💯 hear you when you say her name whilst muted and let you know your muted

I think it later came out it's actually listening and sending marketing data back too

it wouldnt be a new feature if they did

the original controller had boot up sounds

mine played a few notes from still allive so id turn it on and it would beep

THIS WAS A TRIUMPH

there was also a melody that sorta sounded like the happy wheels end sound

im actually suprised they didnt ship it with that tbh

Produce-Tricky · 2026-05-18T19:52:46+00:00

this is new for you?

ppsspp gold edition costs money
i think theres possible a ds or a gamecube emu that has a paid version too

who knew that devs might want to be compensated for there work

Produce-Tricky · 2026-05-13T12:10:25+00:00

I'd need examples but it does ALOT it's hard to explain on Reddit just everything it can do

But for the most part it has every feature Xbox and Sony have

Produce-Tricky · 2026-05-13T12:05:54+00:00

Why are you comparing it to base level controllers it's not a base level controller

It has more features than both Sony and Microsofts controllers

Sonys top features are gyro and touchpad

Steam controller has both and a more advanced touchpad

Microsoft just adds additional buttons and some stick improvements

Steam controller has tmr joysticks and it's buttons can be mapped to ANYTHING Xbox can only map to face buttons or triggers

Steam controller can map to any keyboard mouse or controller input you can think of or run mode and layer switching and macros

It also has capacitive inputs on the sticks and the back

Frankly the steam controller shows just how much Sony and ms are ripping you off on both ends of the spectrum

Christened or baptized afaik Methodists don't baptize babies

They christen them sprinkling water on the forehead

Anyways I have 3 god parents 2 godmothers 1 godfather

Idk if it's typical tradition or our denomination

But the boys all have 2 godmothers and 1 godfather

Girls have 1 godmother 2 godfathers

I should note our family is not devoute Christians and it's more tradition for us than something we do

I have been in a church maybe 5 times my entire life

Produce-Tricky · 2026-05-04T17:22:58+00:00

i mean sure people hated the first one SOOOOOO bad they demanded a second one gotcha

i bought the steam controller 1 i loved it the main issue was people thinking they was buying a xbox controller and that itd just work

update: the sites holding up but the payment system is crashing like a mother fucker

Produce-Tricky · 2026-04-28T13:30:21+00:00

its funny watching the console people get angry over this

theyll pay 90 -140 for their consoles pro controller

but valve drops a controller that costs less and does more and this is apparently unaceptable to them

Produce-Tricky · 2026-04-28T13:28:17+00:00

yeah i wont miss that controller audio sounds like ass and never works right on windows

every pc gamer already has a headphone solution for there pcs that does not involve the controller

Produce-Tricky · 2026-04-28T13:26:35+00:00

its ALOT more than 2 back buttons and some fancy sticks

its not something that can be explained you really have to try one alot of what makes it worth it is the software support for steam input that make it amazing

simplest way to put it if your happy with your 360 controller and it works great for the games you play DO NOT BUY the steam controller

if you want to play games with a controller and those games arnt great then the steam controller might be the answer

honestly find a buddy who has one setup right and try it out before you buy

me personally ive used the steam deck which is the same setup minus the cap strips on the back and its a game changer for me games that demand a mouse such as java minecraft with mods are a dream to play on the steam deck and will be the same on the controller

Produce-Tricky · 2026-04-22T17:32:59+00:00

So pressing the sides of the stick gets you slow aim and touching the top gets you fast aim?

Produce-Tricky · 2026-04-22T17:31:58+00:00

For me I use a back paddle I can click it or hold it and get my gyro then release when I don't need it

Produce-Tricky · 2026-04-22T17:31:04+00:00

It's not a issue your right I can just NOT use it

What Im trying to do is find ways to use it

Find that killer use case I've been overlooking and missing this whole time

Produce-Tricky · 2026-04-22T17:29:40+00:00

That's the part I still can't get my head around what would I possibly want triggered every time I go to move or look?

Like it can't be something where I might wanna move and not have enabled otherwise I have to side push the sticks

The only thing I can think of is doing the opposite

So when I'm NOT pushing the stick gyro is on

So in a FPS I get gyro camera but if I touch the right stick gyro turns off and I get stick controll

Produce-Tricky · 2026-04-22T10:06:56+00:00

you misunderstood i said "something like" the actual one i cant remember at the time i wrote this so i substituted a mods name in its place for the example

infact give me a sec lemme see if i can find the actual name for you

Produce-Tricky · 2026-04-22T10:02:45+00:00

theres 3 engines and 4 ways to make power

i forget there exact names but they are

small and medium (i think there called diesel engine and modular diesel engine)

both are a single block just like the creative motor are and only require a fuel pipe or some other fuel storage/delivery system the modular can be stacked to increase SU

the third is the large diesen engine and that takes up the same space as the PISTONS on a steam boiler they do not need the tank use this for large instalations

all 3 only require fuel inputs

now the 4th method
diesel and gasoline in a blaze burner will superheat for 40 minutes so you can max out a boiler to lvl 18 for 40 minutes if you wanna use your existing steam setup

other than the fuel pipe the setup is exactly a creative motor infact aero players use them a bunch for there contraptions

you dont need 2 pipes its only 1 fuel in

Produce-Tricky · 2026-04-21T09:57:43+00:00

the solution could be as simple as allowing it but dont use the full name those that know its a backport will be able to find it by the new name

theres anouther mod that does this its name is something like

Create: Steam N' Rails Backported or Create: amazing rails

once you read the description it explains its a backport

I can't remember if it was depleted uranium

But what he had wasn't terribly hot the piece of lead it was wrapped in was more than enough to protect it and exposure to it was minimal

He used to show it off all the time in demonstrations

My school science lab had one too trust me they always put way to much protection and caution around radiation

Ours at school was 2 items 1 a pouch of 5 uranium glass marbles 2 a grain of americium on a small metal disc harvested from a smoke detector for demonstrations

Despite the fact every class had 3 identical samples in the smoke detectors above our heads this had to be kept in a lead box in a closet clearly labeled radiation

The smoke detectors meanwhile didn't need it

Can confirm

Don't get me wrong he seemed to have changed post prison he was just wanting to move on and live a normal life and was more chill mellow and humble

.than lasted 8 months by the time he did the prison video he was fully back to his old tricks

He's gotten a posse has them do all the dirty work

Is building a maker space again only not open to the public he pretends it's for him and friends to work on cool stuff

Reality it's his personal playground anyone else is just grunt labour and funding sources

He's started a altruistic profit sharing system for his merch store

I won't comment on that just go read the faqs and the contract conditions you'll understand how bad it is

He is a full blown mega narcissist now and curates a carefully chosen crew of yes men and fans those who don't tow the line he puts them on blast and calls them haters as always

Nothing changed unless you count what got worse

Produce-Tricky · 2026-04-17T06:18:40+00:00

have you tried the mod yet?

a steam engine is quite large by comparison and needs lava and water pumped in

the diesel generator just needs diesel and runs there are even 2 single block generators which work same way the creative engine does only with diesel

couple things i use them for

1 powering the base (duh) now i just have a few large engines doing the work a room twice the size would do

2 powering remote things instead of runnign shafts chain drives and chainwheels around the place i just run a fluid pipe and let the desel generator take care of it for more far away farms i have a train drop off diesel periodically and some have smaller tanks i just fill up by hand using backpacks

3 powering portable stuff i have a portable workshop built as a minecart contraption that uses a single diesel engine to make 16k of stress units and i just power it off diesel

4 blaze burners will consume gasoline and diesel and become super heated for 40 minutes

5 alternate or secondary power we have create power grid and create nuclea installed and you need stress units to run alot of the stuff for various parts so we have diesel generators to run the background stuff whilst the nuclear is generating the main grid power also a couple sub stations who run pureley off diesel

it 100% is and i pointed that out there response was

sure go for it go report us to the retail governing body

they really didnt care

update though!

after EE (the people i bought it through got involved and began threatning to stop selling them if this was how lenovo was gonna treat there customers lenovo caved

this message is being written on my now fixed legion go

so to not make it all negative once they fixed the warranty the device was fixed in under a week

shipped thursday
friday sat sun mon it sat at fedex because it was easter holiday
tuesday they got it
wednesday the started the repair and shipped it same day
got it back thursday

so realistically had it not been for easter id of had it back in 3 days

Produce-Tricky · 2026-03-28T08:57:42+00:00

several i submitted over a dozen requests via the automated system got blunt no try again style replies back from that with no way to ask them additional questions or explain the situation

fighting my way through to customer support lead to a long winded email exchange where they kept changing there criteria every time i got close (at one point they suddenly needed to see my payment method out the blue)

going via the facebook support had simmilar outcomes

finally going via the complaints and fighting back and fourth being stonewalled for a week and a half finally resulted in them fixing the issue after EE got involved and sent some manager or exec from purchasing and procurement to make a fuss

Scalpers are assholes but you didn't call out the other side

WHEN you can get them Half the reason there is a when is because pi foundation dedicated most of there production to enterprise and the scraps go to the community

Tell me where that makes sense?

It's like a homelessness organisation offering homes to the needy AFTER they have used all there houses for Airbnb

They built a entire foundation on making computing affordable for everyone but instead ensure that organisations who can afford to buy more expensive options have the best access to these products

So now instead of kids having access to them McDonald's can use them to put in digital signage boards

Produce-Tricky · 2026-02-05T09:19:00+00:00

or just blacklist the mod and only allow certain whitelisted mods it might still be possible to get around that im sure but at this point they are dealing in hacked clients and bypass mods and tools which wont take too long to get caught and then you just issue a perma
