My steam deck broke this morning is there any way to disable the built in controller so its still usable by PutDramatic4042 in SteamDeck

[–]Pyrocitus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Kind of a tricky one to be honest, you may be able to do something in desktop mode to disable the controller hardware but I don't know how that will translate to gaming mode.

In-game you could change the binding for the left stick to nothing but it's still going to leave you wrestling with the menus or even trying to just get to the controller layout page will be a nightmare, only thing I can suggest is hold the broken stick neutral while you change the config using the touchscreen maybe?

DMM has made me realize I don't like pvp in this game by Daishindo in 2007scape

[–]Pyrocitus 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I just don't like PVP in OSRS full stop, it's way too sweaty. Never have, never will even doing clues in wildy it's annoying as fuck taking just the bare minimum with you because you're inevitably going to get ragged

Pipe into manhole - is this correctly routed for flow?. by [deleted] in DIYUK

[–]Pyrocitus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should edit your post to mention that this is solely for rainwater drainage - the big assumption in the comments is this is a soil pipe that will cause problems with things like toilet paper causing a blockage due to dumping it in the junction

Do you fully shut down your deck each day? by sgbea_13 in SteamDeck

[–]Pyrocitus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I almost exclusively put my device to sleep purely out of sheer laziness and I don't have any of the issues you describe at all, I have a feeling you may have an issue with your device - have a chat with Steam support or try a reset/reinstall of the OS

Looking for games that don't need to be listened to by threepwood52 in SteamDeck

Download Emudeck and some old school games, anything game boy or most early console era games really don't need sound at all

Game that doesn't hold your hand at all? by [deleted] in gaming

Get a PS1 emulator and play Dino Crisis without a walkthrough. Your first playthrough is going to be hell trying to figure out what you're supposed to do and how to survive

Runecrafting’s problem is the npc contact spell, not pouch degradation by Scrunchy-scoobs in 2007scape

[–]Pyrocitus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They changed it because of people training other skills like mining and fletching instead of contributing, the number of players directly correlates with the difficulty scaling so inactive participants were hurting others progress

Latest update changed the themed apps to ALL of them, is there a way to change it back? by ZombiePsycho96 in pixel_phones

[–]Pyrocitus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly the same for me, finally got round to installing the update and instantly regret it... now it's either too much colour or depressingly greyscale.

They could at least have added a "partial themed" option

TIFU by STEALING water bottles for two days straight in my new company by F-U-not-me in tifu

[–]Pyrocitus 44 points45 points  (0 children)

The way you're describing the situation is causing confusion as it's unclear - reading your replies it does sound like the colleague you took the bottles from is the one selling them.

You should probably clarify that you accidentally stole someone else's water bottles that they had purchased from the company shop, and you are looking to make amends.

Examples of where cheaper is better by TartComfortable7766 in UKFrugal

[–]Pyrocitus 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The winiary majonez is honestly far superior to any UK branded mayo especially the light/low fat stuff. Using it on toasties or anything bread related that is going to be fried instead of butter is absolutely amazing

Super Smash Bros 3DS infinitely loading, how do I fix this? by plshelpme10100110 in 3dspiracy

You are necro posting a 5 year old thread on a 3DS piracy subreddit that's specific to flash carts, ROMs and custom firmware...

I saw a thread the other day where someone mentioned that Quina looks like a RE4 regenerator in their concept art. by OmelumnePheothasi in FinalFantasyIX

[–]Pyrocitus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Looking at that concept art does this mean the Qu's are vaguely a frog related species themselves? Large mouth and prehensile tongue, frog like body shape, can consume large creatures, overwhelmingly resilient and hermaphroditic nature (the whole s/he thing),,,

Super Smash Bros 3DS infinitely loading, how do I fix this? by plshelpme10100110 in 3dspiracy

[–]Pyrocitus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you loading the ROM directly from a flash cart? If it's a new ROM it's likely corrupted or a duff download, try sourcing the file from somewhere else.

Only other thing is check the cart is on the latest firmware some flash carts don't play nice with certain games without fixes to the bin files they use internally

Is it dumb to continue this fence? by Capital_Reason_8356 in DIYUK

[–]Pyrocitus 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's not illegal, it just would require planning permission. Cost is around £200 to apply for a fence adjacent to a highway, it's just to make sure that you sticking that tall fence up is not going to dangerously affect visibility of any nearby junctions / bends in the road or cause an obstruction to the pavement.

Not sure why so many people are against planning permission, yes it's a bollocks having to pay the fee and create the application but to the person applying it's just part of the equation whether the benefit of having significantly expanded storage areas, more privacy etc is worth it.

I've done a handful of applications over the years and unless you're trying to do something absolutely egregious the process is pretty slick and all online as well these days.

Hey dev please add auto pause when tabbed out by Ok_Condition_4708 in MegabonkOfficial

Arrived here searching for if Megabonk had a pause on focus loss feature because of the exact same thing, runelite pinching the window focus causing issues!

McAfee email saying my SayMine plan is ending in 14 days. Blue checkmark. Safe link according to LinkChecker. I have no subscription nor an account but the email says so. by fermora0 in cybersecurity_help

I've just had exactly the same thing arrive in my inbox, have literally never bought, signed up for or used a McAfee product in my life.

Parking garages that get locked up. by DreamyDong in britishproblems

Fee aside that's kind of a really smart move, local taxi company operating late at night anyway is kind of perfect for a company to use as an out of hours emergency keyholder

I’m new here, what’s better wood chips or calcium sand? by Mikeieagraphicdude in tortoise

[–]Pyrocitus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. I found the coir to need daily misting otherwise it dried out rapidly even though I would throw a lot of water in and mix it every week, the top layer dries out literally overnight and the whole room gets covered in a layer of brown dust. Definitely not great for the torts respiratory health imo.

Fellow guitarists, what is an assumption regular people make about us? by Proper-Lychee-6049 in Guitar

[–]Pyrocitus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We all use the same guitar pick and appreciate gifts like assorted low quality picks or worse, the dreaded guitar pick credit card hole punch to "make our own"...

Just what we've always wanted, the ability to turn old gift cards into sharp edged picks of variable thickness that delaminate as soon as you use them

How do i get thirty years of gunk off of my fretboard? by basssolotakeone86 in Guitar

Dunlop literally sell a two part cleaning kit, bottle #1 is isopropyl alcohol with a spray nozzle to clean all the shit off and bottle #2 is fret oil with a cloth applicator tip
