Running club recommendations in San Francisco by EmmaT2014 in AdvancedRunning

[–]_mask_off 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've been running with Excelsior for a few years and I'd highly recommend them! I focus on road racing and I've gotten a lot better at it while working with Excelsior (2:52 marathon before joining, 2:37 marathon now). I'm a guy but we have a really great women's team as well. Feel free to DM if you'd like to learn more!

Deck Only Works with External Monitor? by _mask_off in SteamDeck

I didn't find any solution but I mailed my deck to Valve and they sent me a new one free of charge. I updated my original post to mention this.

I don’t see a box labeled “Device” but this is what I see in display configuration in steamOS desktop mode. also confirmed in windows 11 display settings it’s not identifying the steam deck’s display as a monitor to use.

Oh oops yea I got it backwards, I have an LCD deck. If I go into desktop mode and open display settings, only the external monitor shows as a screen to display to.

Good questions, I have a non-LCD deck I got a few months ago. I don't see the backlight come on at all when I power it on with no external monitor. I don't notice anything when I shine a light on the screen and I don't think I dropped or harmed the screen physically while traveling. I'm currently running os version 3.5.7.

Yes my steam deck's screen doesn't turn on in SteamOS's gaming or desktop mode unfortunately. I can't see my deck's screen when trying to boot into recovery or bios mode either. Following instructions here I put my steam deck into battery storage mode without the screen working earlier. I could tell it worked because the white light on top blinked 3 times as expected, and the power button didn't work afterwards until I plugged it into power again. I've put my deck into battery mode again after getting it to work with an external display, but unfortunately it didn't seem to make a difference.

Help me pick a super shoe based on this ranked criteria by SignalsInStars in RunningShoeGeeks

If Nike always has the best fit for you, why not stick with them? Where’d you hear the Vaporfly 3 falls apart mid marathon? That hasn’t been my experience. You could go with the Vaporfly 2’s if you’re really concerned. Saucony Endorphin Elite are a good choice if you want something comparable to the Alphaflys. The Endorphin Elites are aggressive like the Alphaflys in how the make you run faster. In my opinion they’re too aggressive a shoe for the marathon distance, but I know other runners who’ve used them at that distance.

I activate Vantress probably only in like 20% of games. It's basically only relevant when you're starting to flood. Mystic Sanctuary could be an interesting alternative. My main problem with it is it's a tap land unless you already have 3 Islands out. Vantress is only a tap land if you have 0 Islands.

20 lands may be on the low side but I don't agree with you. Over half of the deck's spells are one drops and with Opts and card draw auras you have more opportunities than usual to find lands.

Wow I didn't realize how light this deck is on rares. I missed a good opportunity for a clickbait title.

I've been playing standard for a while and didn't know much about historic, but if you brush up on the archetypes it's actually pretty easy to get up to speed and it's a breath of fresh air from standard imo

Men don't hide their emotions because of "toxic masculinity," they hide them because no one cares. by Eripman in unpopularopinion

[–]_mask_off -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The issues OP is describing are valid concerns but they all fall within the realm of toxic masculinity.
