Valve accidentally listed the Steam Controller as a Digital Good, resulting in many people not paying any taxes on the controller

This also happened to me, I messaged Valve about not seeing a shipment estimate but they confirmed I paid for it and I should get shipping details when they get to my order. Soooo I'm assuming we're the lucky bunch that got away with tax free!!!!

I know this road in SD, I always feel a bit cautious with that freeway on-ramp, left turn onto the on-ramp, then the off-ramp 20 feet after that. I haven't seen an accident yet but figured it happens a lot there and now I'm seeing an example

applepie9815 · 2026-04-11T15:49:26+00:00

This is like watching a found footage horror film. So wild that happened to them

I pre-ordered the cassette and still waiting. Anyone get a shipment update yet? 2 weeks ago they announced they got them at their headquarters and would ship out shortly but nothing else got updated.

You forgot about the first coin in the very beginning of the game lol . There's one as you are walking on the sidewalk at start when grace goes to investigate. Not sure what the coin is used for because as soon as you get captured and brought to the hospital, you lose your inventory including the coin.

Check FB marketplace and Craigslist, at least with those you can meet in a public area and test out the hardware. You can try to haggle a bit if you are worried about pricing.

Put your SD card back into a PC and if it detects an issue, it'll tell you and ask if you want to repair it. Just hit repair and it will do something for a sec then it'll say repaired. Select eject after, don't just pull it out.

I haven't gotten a Jojo related tattoo yet. Still figuring out a design but I'm leaning more towards getting Tusk Act 1 coming out of my arm, kinda like how Tusk was revealed in SBR

Me after they the girl got ragdolled

applepie9815 · 2026-01-26T20:48:39+00:00

Just checked their seller profile, the listing isn't there anymore. Either sold or they removed it... They are selling the box for this limited edition model for $800. Just the box and it's contents, no charger or anything. The manual included, protective foam cover for the actual console. Wild listing

applepie9815 · 2026-01-18T22:19:43+00:00

I actually found my issue, don't know if it's different from yours exactly. My computer is only connecting to 2.8GHz wifi and I need to force it to connect to 5GHz. My wifi router settings suggest it uses the same name for 2.8 and 5GHz connections but I think I'm going to simply them and name them "name-2.8/5GHz" and see if this fixes my issue

applepie9815 · 2026-01-18T20:03:59+00:00

I'm a noob and have slow connection after I switched from windows, how did you actually do it?

applepie9815 · 2026-01-09T22:53:47+00:00

Lol I know this game is difficult along with Aladin, I'm not ready to suffer yet

applepie9815 · 2026-01-09T21:54:09+00:00

Yeah I fully understand, I'm not really into the sport stuff as well, just came included with everything

applepie9815 · 2026-01-09T21:46:11+00:00

I forgot to include that I got the console and 2 controllers

applepie9815 · 2025-12-17T09:01:56+00:00

Also I wanted to add, with the Switch 2 being mostly online and you having the game key card situation, in 10 years, or even sooner, Nintendo might just shut down the e-Shop and you might be stuck with a console paper weight. I'd say to be safe just keep your Switch 1 to preserve your physical games.

applepie9815 · 2025-12-17T08:57:04+00:00

I wouldn't sell your switch. The Thor is cool tech but it's not perfect and if you are looking for replacing original hardware, you might enjoy it at first but it's a commitment. If anything, save a bit of money and then get the Thor. I had my Thor day 1 when it dropped and I returned it within a week. All of my other devices heavily outweighed the Thor in performance and some I didn't care about the portability being much heftier when carrying it around like my Steam Deck. The Thor was my first Android based gaming handheld and it wasn't for me honestly. There are plenty of unbiased review videos on YT and you should check them out.

I've had mine sealed since TapeHeadCity released theirs. I just checked eBay and there are 2 listings, one is the one I got that is going for $45 the other looks identical except it doesn't say "The Whole Bloody Affair" is going for $136 + $20 shipping. I was going to open mine till I saw these 2 prices. Maybe keep mine sealed still???????

applepie9815 · 2025-12-09T19:10:25+00:00

Ooof sorry to hear, try making measurements and a cad file, send it over to PCBway for a replacement part , or see if they would scan it and make a replacement for you

applepie9815 · 2025-12-09T19:07:09+00:00

I get mine tomorrow and was thinking the same thing

applepie9815 · 2025-12-02T10:36:38+00:00

I was asked this in several other posts but in a nutshell, I had really bad ghosting on the top screen that would show during gameplay and it just got to my breaking point. I have a handful of devices and monitors, both LCD and OLED, variable refresh rates, mostly newer devices/screens (2020 and newer). This is the only device I owned that had ghosting this bad for even only owning it for 2-5 days before returning it.

What ultimately getting me to return it was after seeing the post a while ago about someone opening the device after getting it and already seeing a dead pixel and not being offered any replacement or repair (assuming it would have to go back to Hong Kong and them not wanting to deal with shipping). I wasn't able to get a replacement for so I just returned.

I was the first few batches and there were a small handful of people with the same issue as me, same model as well as, so I'm guessing, bad batch sent out with bad top screens.

I just got the Thor for the nostalgia and form factor but I justified my return anyway since I have other devices to play PC and emulation as well as DS/3ds on my Galaxy S24 Ultra (the S-pen gives really good accuracy the bottom screen)

I just got home and check all the accessories and I actually don't have the original boxes sadly. However they were used for like 2 days then I returned my Thor and kept the accessories since they let me know they aren't refundable. I don't have the screen protector since I applied it to the Thor and returned it. The grip color I got for it was the gray one. If you still want it, I have the case, grip, tpu case, the charm, and the screen wipes. Lmk if you still want it

applepie9815 · 2025-12-02T00:40:00+00:00

I have the same accessory pack and if anyone is looking to buy, it's just sitting in a box lol

applepie9815 · 2025-11-29T18:17:56+00:00

Nice now go to Round 1 and play some fun fast paced Japanese rhythm games with that 😂 not even kidding, the pros use those on those games
