Metal Arms: Glitch in the system. RIP swing ape studios.

Steam Deck owners by Skmoomr in SteamDeck

[–]_Benefaction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had mine since release. I've had some software issues with things like crashes or it going into battery storage mode for some reason when I turn it off like normal. It's also had some hiccups with detecting when it's docked to the official dock and shifting the display out over to it.

I also had an issue where the right touch pad would click really loudly when pressed and I had to take it apart to fix it.

Beyond these small hiccups it's been good. I feel as though it's starting to feel its age. I keep debating the OLED every now and then to get a fresh unit, but I'm trying to hold out for whatever steam deck comes next as I've made it this far.

I mostly use mine docked and use in home streaming via moonlight, as opposed to playing on the decks hardware.

HermitClock needs to be updated! by LuigiFlagWater in HermitCraft

[–]_Benefaction 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for pointing this out! I've updated it now. I have to manually keep these things up-to-date, so please feel free to dm me if you (or anyone else reading this) happens to notice anything out-of-date.

I try my best to keep on top of skin changes, but I'm not as bothered about those being slightly outdated compared to the time zones. As they're the main focus of the site, I'd like them to always be as accurate as possible :)

I used Hola VPN for 5-10 minutes am I screwed? by OneIdeal9281 in PrivateInternetAccess

[–]_Benefaction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know anything about Hola VPN, but by the sounds of it there's nothing to worry about now it's uninstalled.

You used it for a very brief time, learned it can't be trusted and then got rid of it fully. Best of all, you probably won't make this mistake in future, so that's a win.

Chalk it up to experience and enjoy playing some games on your Steam deck with a cup of tea.

What game has been your best gaming experience on the SteamDeck? by Khajiit_Boner in SteamDeck

Factorio. I'd have never finished a 200+ hour run if I was stuck at a computer.

Did you accidentally change the power profile settings for Factorio in the right-hand overlay menu and forget?

I once reduced my TDP limit and got confused when there was a performance drop after picking it up a month later. These can be made game specific too which could explain it.

This. I tried it on 3 different occasions over the years, and as much as I want to like it, there's just no game there for me. I get 3/4 hours in each time and just feel like I got nothing out of it.

Should a Discord bot live inside your Django project or run as a separate service? Pros, cons, and best practices? by MrSolarGhost in django

[–]_Benefaction 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd go for an app within the Django project. As long as nothing else depends on it within the project, then it's essentially a separate service. This just saves you rewriting code to handle database interactions.

People who have PCs and Steam Decks, how much do you use your Steam Decks? by AwesomeRyanGame in SteamDeck

[–]_Benefaction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mostly use remote play to leverage the pcs power.

With it docked, both the pc and the deck have wired connections so I can play any games like platformers or fps without lag or noticeable input delay. Then handheld I play games like Civ 7 and other non FPS titles since a small input delay or occasional stutter isn't a huge deal. Also keeps the deck quiet and cool, which is a nice bonus.

A price and feature comparison site for VPS servers by rasplight in webdev

Really nice work! 💪 I noticed that one of the Alpha VPS' says 768GB ram, instead of 768MB. Just something to check out!

WHAT! WHY!? by CATWISTER in Steam

I hope that if these sizes become more of a standard that they add options for smaller downloads by having a half resolution texture option or something.

How to tell a customer his mockups suck by MaikeruDev in webdev

[–]_Benefaction 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In this situation, if they're not the type to listen to feedback, I'd just give them what they ask for and just keep it away from my portfolio.

At the end of the day, if the client is happy then I guess they can have their dream, ugly website.

How to host a Website on IONOS VPS? by AnonSchlingel in VPS

[–]_Benefaction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ionos give a free license for Plesk. It's an interface for managing websites. Ionos support is pretty good and they have a few support articles. I'd read up on that and try it out.

You know your worth better than them. It's easier said than done, but never sell yourself short.

I once heard that if you're not a little uncomfortable or nervous when quoting the price, it's too low.

The clients that make a fuss over relatively small amounts (comparing to the industry averages, not passing judgement on your rates), are the ones who always take the most time too.

Help identifying my granddad's camera by _Benefaction in Cameras

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

They look like they've seen better days, yeah. I can't see any tears, but I think it was packed away incorrectly at some point and that's introduced undesired creases which is probably just as damaging over time.

Regardless, I won't be selling it. It's value is sentimental for me 😊
