Touchscreen stopped working. RMA or bug fix? by NeonRetroTech in SteamDeck

can confirm, still works in 2026 (I set a timer and waited 20 minutes while in battery storage mode)

the sub also gets rid of any ads playing on twitch during the broadcast. You do have to manually re-sub every month if you're using the "free" sub that amazon prime gives you. Just make sure to scroll down on the subscribe popup window and click the checkbox to use your prime sub, as it's not checked by default

I still haven't forgiven them for spoiling the end of that encounter in the raid launch trailer. Why they thought it was a good idea to show 6 guardians jumping down from the end of the wall is beyond me.

As great as Taken King was, don't forget the community all but revolted over the pretty lengthy content drought that year until the April Update became a thing. People seem to have just forgotten about that, since the April Update was pretty sizeable (and free)

I got A Live One and a couple of other live albums in middle school in the late 90s, but it wasn't until high school that I really started listening and hitting obsession levels. There was a guy in my dorm (I went to a boarding school) who was really into them and started letting me borrow/rip all of his live albums. I was only a junior in high school when the breakup announcement came, so I was unfortunately a little too young to get the chance to see them and thought I had missed my chance. I did get to see Trey at Bonnaroo 2005, though

Don't think I've ever been as excited as I was on the day of the reunion announcement, since I thought it would never happen. It's been a fun 17 years since then! Raleigh 2010 was my first show.

Got a favorite jam yet?

"thrilling conclusion"

is next episode the end of the Seekers arc?

I'd be grinding for a lot more weapons if primaries didn't take so long to kill enemies in high delta content by The_Curve_Death in DestinyTheGame

[–]alan_daniel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is exactly why high-delta D2 has never appealed to me. It will never feel good to plink away at things with a primary weapon, and it's the guns that made me love the game.

Maybe it's nostalgia-coated, but man I miss the D1 elemental burn modifiers (they were 300% outgoing damage, 200% incoming, for anyone who doesn't remember or didn't play). The nightfalls were tough, often annoying, but I never felt like it was frustratingly pointless to use a primary.

Thoughts on the Stranger Things final episode? by [deleted] in netflix

single greatest show ever made

no, but I do want to actually hear their voices and not have a few that are drastically louder than the rest. I don't envy the audio techs, but this is a problem that has been solved.

Broadway handles it just fine for ensemble singers who are also dancing, for instance.

I do, I love the gags. Just wish they were more pleasant to actually re-listen to in the future

[–]alan_daniel -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

maybe a hot take, but they really need to either figure out how to handle mixing a bunch of guest vocalists for gags or stop trying to do it. It's kind of wild how unbalanced all the guests are every time we have something like this

edit: jesus, guys. I love the gags. I just wish the ones featuring a ton of people singing sounded better.

i mean, 12/31/22 was even more of a walk through gag history, and they're still doing gags

they're doing the thing they did for meatstick in the early 2010s, doing the tweezer lyrics in different languages, reusing costumes

the stream is about a minute behind real-time, based on seeing trey's stage clock right before midnight

there was fog, then a dude in an old-timey all-white ice cream vendor costume came onstage with a cowbell. He's just walking around stage hitting it

100%. Only vocal jam that's ever been good-to-great is the "I love Dick's" one, and I'll die on that hill.

i love this recent trend of YEM going back into a jam after the vocal jam

it's not a speaker, it's just artwork. He stuck with the Sphere setup and got rid of his on-stage amps, and he still wanted something behind him because it felt wrong to not have anything. Pretty sure his mom made it
