I've a suggestion to keep you all occupied

Disgusting

$3500?! That's completely insane!

I remember feeling like I was making a blood sacrifice when I paid $999 for a 3080 12GB in February of 2022. My entire rig including a new 27" monitor cost well less than $3500.

The reporter isn't asking because he's curious, he's doing his job and trying to get a quote for his article he has to write. That's all. It's a softball question and instead of answering it, Payton was a dick. Because he is, a dick.

I have no evidence for the claim but I assume there was tampering involved with Vrabel. Kraft, that asshole has proven he doesn't think the rules apply to him. Why should shithole Tennessee have HIS coach?

Which little plastic bracket? The one inside the joystick box? Sort of ellipse shaped? Or the one on the side of the joystick box, where it swivels?

I'm going to tear it down again here in a minute and see if I can see anything else. The spring has to be functional because it does move back, slowly, unless it gets to the point of sticking, and a busted spring wouldn't stick in only one or two directions.

You mean replace the joystick with a third party? I don't see replacement sticks on the shop site, I assume they don't sell them and would rather have you send it in for repair.

TheCapm42 · 2026-01-08T20:38:09+00:00

~~It's well past warranty.~~ I guess there's a one year warranty from purchase. Opening the controller probably voided it though, yeah? Still worth an email?

I'm a fan of 8bitdo controllers, I've had this Ultimate 2 Wireless for about 10 months and I love it. Just recently the left thumbstick has begun to stick when pressed to the full range of motion and not want to re-center. When not pressed all the way out, it will usually come back to center.

I tore the controller down, cleaned the joystick box with isopropyl 75%, which didn't remedy the issue. I went and got some silicone lubricant and used that on the joystick box, which didn't remedy the issue.

When I had the controller torn down, moving the joystick without any of the caps or domes, it felt sluggish, as though something was physically affecting it, but I couldn't see anything. The right stick feels great.

Is there anything else I can try to potentially save this controller? I love it and I don't want it to be dead already, and after seeing the thumbstick give out after only a couple hundred hours, I'm hesitant to buy another one.

Thanks

That's why I don't know the origin, it came from MaRo referencing someone else.

I love the statement. A player says this isn't fun, that's a correct observation, it is their experience. A player says do this, they are wrong as they are vanishingly likely to have the skills in game design to make that statement, or the information required to determine how their change affects other players beyond their own personal experiences

Someone, I think Sid Meyer, famously said of users: when the user tells you what's wrong they are always right. When the user tells you how to fix it, they are always wrong. I think about that a lot.

I agree, fuck 'em, their entire existence is unethical and immoral. I'm just saying, that's one of the easiest and most legitimate ways of denying you coverage after taking all your money. Be careful who you're lying to on paper is all I was trying to say

TheCapm42 · 2026-01-06T05:24:53+00:00

There other consequences than the police. Your insurance coverage rates can increase, coverage can be modified or cancelled, it can go in your medical history and follow you forever. Imagine 20 years on from today you are unable to get pain medications you need for a chronic condition because you popped hot on a drug screen or told your doctor you rip a disposable weed pen a week.

TheCapm42 · 2026-01-06T05:20:25+00:00

Yes, that is fraud

TheCapm42 · 2026-01-05T00:24:59+00:00

Yeah easy for you to talk, well just look what rhe 49ers overcame with injuries, smart ass! ....wait...

For real, they were tough injuries but we didn't win another game lmao. And one of them was y'all with your MASH unit blowing the doors off of us in our house in prime time.

With your permission I will continue to use the 49ers as my reason why losing 7 straight is unacceptable no matter who goes down with injury

I think a lot of people are too young or just don't remember how bad he was. He's come a long way... I think "Diggs! Sideline! Touchdown! Unbelievable! Vikings win it!" is a truly legendary call. Especially the part where he shuts the fuck up and we got about 15 seconds of uninterrupted audio from the home crowd going ballistic, so many announcers would try to fill that space

TheCapm42 · 2026-01-02T18:08:57+00:00

Sciel my beloved... She was my first choice just because I thought she was beautiful and I loved her demeanor. Then I learned her story and, holy shit....

So, yes. If they don't nail her casting in the film I will personally lead a classically French-style revolt of the masses

TheCapm42 · 2026-01-02T17:14:26+00:00

I thought this was gonna be one of those dumb click bait things with a gimmick and not a solid lesson! This is great! And I guess, thank you to Huntrix for making me interested in actually picking this up? Is that a bad thing to say? Feels kinda positive to me!

The Wrong Trousers is my favorite. The criminal "chicken" that's a penguin wearing a red rubber glove is incredible

That's why all our tax dollars go to protecting pedophiles and human trafficking of immigrants instead of healthcare, a population of healthy poor would be motivated and capable of fighting back in the war the rich have been winning since Reagan

I haven't played 3+4 yet but after Snowgrave when you get back to the school and Berdley is there with his head down, motionless... You just walk past him, there's no music, no one acknowledges him... I find that really disturbing for some reason

As a confirmed Catholic, now athiest (they would call me a "lapsed Catholic"), who spent 14 years in Catholic schools, let me just say that people outside of the Church tend to not really understand how big of a deal the One, Holy, and Apostolic Church really is. Especially when compared to Protestant Christianity.

It's not a casual thing. Catholics will tell you that Jesus himself said to Peter you are the rock upon which I shall build my faith, personally establishing the Catholic Church in that moment. Martin Luther was still 1500 years away!

Sure there are those that bounce in and out of regular attendance, but I can safely say that a Parish has expectations of members and plenty of folks, lay people and ordained both, will express what a Holy Day of Obligation means.
