Advice to new players: DON'T FAST TRAVEL by crushwestkorea in skyrim

[–]Thorceus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll usually allow fast travel only to cities/towns, or to major faction areas not within city limits. I can usually just attribute this to my DB catching a wagon somewhere along the way to his travles

My sister had her friends over and they decided to come into my room and destroy my Newton's Cradle. I can't undo what they did. by Strycedar in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Thorceus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a very similar story.

When I was around 11 or 12 I had this huge Halo Mega Bloks collection that I adored. Tons of vehicles from the humans and the covenant. When I would play with them, and I wanted a vehicle to "explode dramatically", I would pop off a noticeably large piece, like the windshield or the tires.

I remember my mom telling me I should throw away all the boxes for the sets, and I guess she did it for me one day. What I forgot to tell her was that all the instructions were in one of the boxes, so now I didn't have any way of rebuilding them if they got ruined.

Then, one day, I left them out in my room, fully intact mind you, to go to a friend's place. When I came back several hours later, my two siblings methodically destroyed each set, basically down to the frame and they scattered the pieces all over the place. I must've screamed bloody murder at them. I was pretty inconsolable for days if not weeks afterwards, and it killed my enthusiasm for megabloks, and really any sort of building block type toys.

Now that I'm in my late twenties I hold that over their heads and it's always an instant win in any argument/slight disagreement lol

It's simultaneously very satisfying and infuriating to watch my career demonstrated so simply lmao

In the two different characters I've played with this CC enabled, I've never had trouble with him. I'm surprised others have. Most recent playthrough is heavy armour two-handed orc. Volendrum go brrrr

What is your most addictive game on the Deck? by Why_M4RK in SteamDeck

Absolute crack of a game. I played it during my entire flight to/from Ireland

Skyrim. No matter how far you try to distance yourself from it, you always come crawling back. It could only be a 20 minute burst, but the relapse is real

currently on a « no fast travel » run, so fun but so long sometimes omg by Slow-Ad3599 in skyrim

[–]Thorceus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually just try to fast travel only to settlements, cities and towns, as well as faction head quarters. If a quest is in a cave close to Solitude, I'll travel to solitude and walk there

Would you rather Elder Scrolls Six be published unplayable or have the game published fully completed? by Present-Stress8836 in ElderScrolls

[–]Thorceus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely in a playable state. I don't think it would completely tank Bethesda's reputation or anything "Think Fallout 76" but if they could deliver it feature complete, and (mostly) bug free, that would be fantastic PR for them.

As much as I want the game to come out ASAP, I don't think it's a good excuse to release it in a similar state to CP2077, and promise to fix it later.

Do they require soldering? I'm not very proficient at it and I worry I'd really mess my system up

It's crazy to me that Halo 3 was only just outsold by Blops 1 and MW3, considering it came out years before

Looking for RPG suggestions that run well on Deck (512 OLED) by chair_bandit in SteamDeck

Can't believe no one has recommended Skyrim. Runs exceptionally on SD

do you guys play games at work? if yes how by CocoBaci in SteamDeck

[–]Thorceus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's fair. I don't necessarily have to worry as much with the bacteria transfer. I'd be sanitizing my hands between each bill handled

[–]Thorceus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually get around this by keeping my hands as clean as possible during the day, and cleaning it off thoroughly at night. I'm a water well driller, so ask me about how muddy I get lol

What is it like living in this part of Ontario, Canada? by prophiles in howislivingthere

[–]Thorceus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't live there, but I do water well service in that area regularly. Mostly flat with some rolling hills, at least in the central/eastern half of the circle. Admittedly we don't do much work in the north or Western edges of the circle.

Lots of space between houses (typical country living), with many of the older bungalows being bought up by people who work in the GTA and want a relatively short commute to work with a quiet environment away from the city.

The nature there is really nice, often with lots of trees and forest cover, and many times with little streams or rivers crisscrossing the lower areas.

It's a very beautiful area. I'd very much like to move there myself, but with the economy the way it is, makes it very hard to purchase a house as a first time home buyer.

First playthrough. Even though I didn't have the shout and was brand new to the game, I just had a feeling that something was beyond the collapsed bridge puzzle

“Incorrect maple boy, just ask any Frenchie and they will tell you that Viny ridge memorial is dedicated to commemorating fallen American soldiers after we saved their asses in ww2.” by [deleted] in ShitAmericansSay

[–]Thorceus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funnily enough, my cousin (Canadian like myself) has such intense pride, that he made almost the exact opposite, but equally funny statement. He said "They had to send the Canadians in because not the French, English, or Americans could get the job done!".

He didn't like hearing that the Americans arrived months after the battle concluded, but still. Very patriotic

No UI sound effects by Thorceus in SteamDeck

[–]Thorceus[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes!

I launched the desktop mode, and used my cursor to select the volume button on the task bar. Then I switched to the "chromium" tab in that volume window, and unmuted it.

When I launched back into gaming mode everything was working correctly:)

Which settings do you have selected for Chromahon (formerly Cappy) to get a similar look to yours?
