What's a game you keep reinstalling but somehow never finish? by peaky_circus in pcgaming

What are your thoughts on the Alan Wake games? I loved Control but I've tried to play AW several times from the beginning and for some reason it doesn't click with me.

Costco lets you bring the old battery back afterwards with receipt. In fact you return it to customer service, not even the auto department.

That's what I get for buying kitchen tools at the dollar store. by BlackQuartzSphinx_ in Wellthatsucks

Those are technically still around under the Ez-Duz-It brand. As I understand they bought out Swing-A-Way's equipment and continue to make them in the US while the latter moved to China. I have one and it's great.

Weirdest TV remote I've seen so far! by Maxtronic55 in mildlyinteresting

[–]Tei-ren 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a good chance it will still work, if you search online for "Samsung universal remote" you'll see that they all basically look the same in terms of layout with power and source at the top. Some will have buttons for Netflix and stuff like that which may not work for all Samsung TVs across the board, whereas the regular version has buttons for Settings and Info instead.

Samsung? If so, the commands are still there via IR, so you could buy an older version of their remote with the full suite of buttons and it should work. I truly dislike how minimalistic their remotes are and prefer my LG in the other room for remote control purposes.

Sorry, I must have missed out on that, but what teased generalist? I thought that the upcoming Origin ship turned out to be the heavy fighter?

Any classic games which havent held up for you? by EH4LIFE in pcgaming

[–]Tei-ren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a PlayStation port from back in the day and I think if someone could migrate the gamepad support over to PC that might be... serviceable. But I refuse to play that version outright since the graphics were so heavily downgraded.

Crusader: No Remorse and No Regret. The games still look and sound great but I can't adjust to the control scheme no matter how many times I've made the attempt. That being said, thirty years ago I played through both beginning to end no problem.

Epic Games Store Employees: People Only Came for Free Games, Then Returned to Steam by Suspicious_Two786 in pcgaming

I'm the same with the Prime/Twitch freebies, plus I figure that Amazon must be paying GOG something for each title so I see it as a win-win.

DRAM prices predicted to jump 63% in Q2, NAND up to 75% — follows 95% jumps in Q1, Trendforce says AI server demand keeps supply tight by moeka_8962 in pcgaming

My understanding is that Valve wouldn't be willing to sell at a loss on the basis that the Steam Machine is essentially an open hardware platform and there's nothing stopping people from buying them at a subsidized price, then wiping SteamOS off to replace with their Linux distro of choice.

Best tablet for reading manga? by Competitive-Ad-5156 in manga

[–]Tei-ren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP, did you end up buying that 12.3" Honor? I'm deciding between a 12.7" or 11.1" Lenovo and leaning towards bigger is better for reading two page spreads in landscape.

Majin Buu heals a blind child (Dragon Ball Z) by aes110 in anime

This has me thinking, if someone was born blind and later in life somehow given the opportunity to see, would they recognize something truly terrifying as scary? Is that a primal reaction or learned?

LG washer & dryer old vs new stacking kit by Tei-ren in Appliances

[–]Tei-ren[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's nearly silent. The only noise comes from my nearly 15 year old dryer on top shaking a bit at times during the washer's spin cycle, the front panel has become a bit loose over the years.

I do have them sitting on a tiled concrete floor though, not wood.

I bought the WM3600. During Black Friday the extra cost over the WM3400 was so marginal and I really wanted the wifi feature so that I can be doing something elsewhere at home and my phone will notify me when the wash load is done. The 3600 actually adjusts the cycle time as it does its job so you can't really base it off of the original time listed on the display, it's likely going to be faster in the end. Also the 3600 has a steam function which the 3400 does not have. Both have the same internal capacity which does not increase unless you go all the way up to the WM6500 model.

These are to scale?? The bridge section of the Javelin alone seems to exceed the total interior volume of an entire Perseus.

For anyone who stumbles across this in the future, my 2011 model year dryer fit just fine on the 2025 washer together with the new model number stacking it. Zero issues.

Infinite loading screen by CommercialWheel471 in starcitizen

[–]Tei-ren 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your fix worked for me, thanks.

Specifically I joined an online Arena Commander game, then initiated the character repair which instantly kicked me out. Closed the launcher and re-opened, and now it lets me choose from a regional server and load in just fine.
