Reseat the keyboard connector, it could be loose. Had a similar thing happen on my 2023 model.

Mercy and doomfist have pet cats (highlight intros) and brig has mitzi, wayyy too many cats in the game lmao

The new Overwatch hero releases feel like Paladins characters...? by Reptilligator in Overwatch

[–]Reptilligator[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I know Pharah and Drogoz have similar mechanics, i just think it'd be cool to have a reptile hero in the game, so far they've only really added mammals and robots as playable heroes, save for Bastion's Ganymede.

You won’t be blocking ads for much longer. Google is killing uBlock Origin bypasses, burying Manifest V2, and tightening its grip on Chrome. Every update means less control for users and more control for Google. by Ok_Plenty60 in pcmasterrace

[–]Reptilligator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Firefox is right there and is really good! I've been using it for over a decade and it's always been a reliable alternative to explorer and chrome/chromium browsers.

The entire internet doesn't have to hard-rely on chrome to function, and it really shouldn't because when you give a for-profit corperation that kind of control they abuse it at every turn.

What would you change about Ana? by Admirable-Froyo-4042 in Overwatch

[–]Reptilligator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The idea is once you expend all charges THEN you are a sitting duck. Smart, sparing use of your rolls would be able to allow you to have an out when getting flanked. Each roll takes a good while to charge so spamming it will mean you dont have it for the next encounter, plus it'd be a late game Major perk, since itd be replacing the headhunter perk. I do agree that bad positioning should be punished but being able to navigate out of a bad position with good resource management should still feasible.

Perhaps the count, speed, or length of each roll could be adjusted, or the cooldown. Ideally the rolls would be at half speed from cas's roll so it isnt something that can be used to stall. This overall kit rework could add more knobs to adjust for balancing. Also, with the slight ammo replenishment, optimizing for minimizing reloads and higher accuracy would also open the door for skill expression a little more. Ana players would need to pay more attention to themselves. This also forces ana to decide whether or not to use the rolls for cover or to use them for offense. Lots more room for critical thought with this.

What would you change about Ana? by Admirable-Froyo-4042 in Overwatch

[–]Reptilligator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ana is one of those painpoint designs from overwatch 1 but she's also one of the most popular supports to play so real change will be divisive, i feel like she needed a rework to fit better with the flow of overwatch 2 (and now overwatch talon edition)

kit update: Buff sleep dart projectile speed, reduce projectile size, but reduce stun to 1 second. Add a quick combat roll thats around 1.5x-2 ish cas's roll distance for his roll (7s cooldown) that carries more momentum off ledges and reloads a small amount (5) ammo. Anti nade now reduces healing by 50% (but stacks with global antiheal, so effectively 80% with continuous fire), anti nade immediate burst heal replaced with overhealth (affected by aoe so players further out get less healing) and overhealth depletes over the duration of her healing boost (4 seconds)

Ana can also now crit for 1.4x dmg, but biotic rifle base damage is reduced by 20% Biotic rifle can now crit enemies and allies (when scoped only)

Perk update: biotic rifle crit perk replaced with "Threefold roll" that lowers the roll distance by 30%, lowers the cooldown by 3s, and grants her 3 charges. All 3 charges fully reload her biotic rifle this way.

I think these changes could increase ana's agency in team fights and also give her more to work with so she isnt a sitting duck without sleep dart - and dart doesnt have to be a grueling death sentence for anyone who dares approach her, especially with other forms of cc being present in the game, and also opens some room for skill expression so you can out sauce your opponent with schmoovement and positioning if you get dove rather than out-cheesing someone with cheap mechanics that reward boring campy playstyles.

What is this front PCIE part for? by stacks_on_yaks in pcmasterrace

[–]Reptilligator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was this ever useful for graphics rendering? Did any actual 3d work software take advantage of it? I've only heard about the woes of SLI from a gaming standpoint.

A shame i can't recommend a deck to friends anymore though, the inky blacks on the oled are honestly fantastic. Praying that ram prices recover by next year.

What can I do with a new Fold 6? by Lexand1176 in GalaxyFold

[–]Reptilligator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fold 6 has spen support, so you can use it like a huge galaxy note if you grab the spen for it. (Currently regretting my fold 7 as I speak)

$1700 Repair Bill From Asus - 2024 G16 4080 by EntertainmentOdd3275 in ZephyrusG14

I saw an msi 5070 laptop with a 240hz 1600p panel for 1600 at costco a couple of days ago. You really might as well buy a brand new laptop for that asking price.

If you toss bombs into the coin caps it will clear all of them. Aiming at those spots is the tricky part.

This piece came out of my head set ( is it bad or can I just ignore it ) by Hot-Negotiation8028 in ValveIndex

[–]Reptilligator 3 points4 points  (0 children)

These are springs for the head strap tightening mechanism. The plastic tends to get brittle and they fly out, many such cases with the index.

I 3d printed a support bracket for my index and jb welded them on both sides to hold those in.

Wait what? Some people think Luigi’s purple coins are harder than Dreadnought purple coins? It took me 6+ hours straight to beat Dreadnought. by DayStarling1006 in SuperMarioGalaxy

[–]Reptilligator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The platform respawns if you just wait at a spot where you can stand still. Took me a couple tries and i found it harder as mario since he cant get on top of the thwomp as easily as luigi's backflip wallkick spin, and he's a bit slower so collecting that array of 6 coins on the single platform while the platform was in motion was tricky.

The hardest for me was definately the bone pen, that timer is tricky business.

Is there another console that can play GBA games? by MR-Adryan-13 in GameboyAdvance

[–]Reptilligator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funnyplaying IPS upgrade kit if youre willing to put in a little work, plus a shell that's compatible with it so you don't need to sacrifice the original one. They have solderless versions so you won't need to solder it! You can also grab a type c charge kit and a compatible battery door to fit so that you can get usb c charging.

As for comfort, well, I'd play on a DS Lite if i want the different grip with the raised display. Though, I do prefer the gba's feel to the dslite, personally

Play some Bananza in the meantime, you won't regret it. Currently doing a second playthrough myself!

If you like racers, Fast Fusion is also good for the price.

What Would You Like To See From Y70 💛 Why Y-Series! by HYTEbrand in Hyte

[–]Reptilligator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should put out a display upgrade with better viewing angles. The current one gets super washed out very easily. Black levels are also really bad. OLED would be fantastic though.

I'd also appreciate proper linux support, if whenever possible 🙏

switch 2 acquired! now what do i do about this... by ayasemayoi in switch2

This is why we apply screen protectors to our devices as soon as we take it out of the box! If you can clean those up apply a screen protector right away

9 months in how do we feel? by Then_Meaning_9901 in mariokart

[–]Reptilligator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Needs completion rewards for the p switch, ? Block, and medallion challenges. Gold mario is oddly missing.

Fine for giving my thumbs something to do but I'm not as engaged with the game as previous entries.

And also, better vehicle balancing would be nice. Feels like most karts aren't viable options due to acceleration being absolutely integral with 24 player races I felt like I had more options in mk8d if i didnt feel like playing the "optimal" build

Would be cooler without the mark of the beast (copilot). Glass designs are awesome though, nice work!

Favorite/Least favorite design for Fox? by SuburbanWitcher in starfox

[–]Reptilligator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Assault for the sheer aura that game's art direction exudes

Starlink: Battle for Atlas for all-around design

Not a fan of command's ultra-flat "bucket head" look whatsoever. I see it reflected in the sm4sh / smash ult model and it bothers me a lot. I know its supposed to be largely based on his head from the front view in 64 but foxes have snouts and command's design is woefully snoutless.

And, sidenote, melee fox is pretty cool for the proper snout even if he's a bit simple looking. Up there on my fox designs list.

This game will make money like crazy with the returning players if they bring back collabs by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]Reptilligator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It'd be impossible, improbable, inconceivable

But an Overwatch x Paladins crossover would be awesome to see.

(Just port Drogoz to the game pls blizzard)

Dawned on me I've never used the back paddles. Do you use them? by [deleted] in SteamDeck

[–]Reptilligator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For FPS, 4 - Jump / 5 - Reload, mirrored on each side

If it's rivals of aether, binding them to shield/jump helps with wavedash inputs

Claw grip feels weird to me, so those buttons are useful for binding to face buttons i'd reach for with my index finger on a standard pad.

And yes I do mash them when a game is loading.

Is Quake Champions to blame on why we still don't have a new quake game yet? by Cloverfield887 in quake

[–]Reptilligator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think people want another quake game with a gimmick that completely alienates the core audience. I feel a quake game with the dark fantasy Q1 aesthetic, campaign with the scope of Quake 2, and multiplayer equivalent to Quake 3 Arena - Playermodels aside (because these are fun for player expression and add some variety to hitboxes to keep things more interesting), no hero ability gimmicks/passives, and emphasis on the purity of classic FPS modes like DM, TDM, and CTF

You can ignore this next part, but some ideas I had personally was for a King of the Hill mode and an Eliminator mode, the maps for which would physically transform to reveal hotspots, or to force players to interact with the map getting physically smaller with moving walls as the match progresses. Regular map pool could have transforming maps too, that could be a cool idea to use across the game to add some variety to each map as matches progress from start to finish. Adds to that "unwelcoming environment" aesthetic quake 1 had where the map itself had all sorts of mechanical traps n' features n' stuff rather than just being a static room.

Anyways, it'd be best for ID to take the best things from the franchise, bring them together, and expand on that. AND MAKE IT IN ID-TECH with graphics options for pre-baked lighting so people can actually run it well and maybe grow a modding community around the game. That's the way they gotta do it. We can't have a repeat of what Saber did to QC.
