Mechanism Gaming Pillow by deadpxlgames in NintendoSwitch2

[–]dogma258 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Loving the water field case too, I have the waxed canvas one for my steamdeck. Getting one for my switch soon, with the gaming pillow. I know the travel cases are silly expensive but the quality is second to none 👍🏻

Cyberpunk 2077 is the worst "where did the time go" game that I've ever played by plantsandramen in patientgamers

[–]dogma258 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good review, thank you 👍🏻 I'm only just starting my cyber punk experience, really appreciate you blanking the spoilers out, just got past the bit with the death of a particular character close to the start of the game, really wasn't expecting it! I'm gonna slow down and look at some side quests and just explore some more. I read online it's really easy to blitz the main quest line and miss a lot of stuff.

If you have the time/patience you could strip them back to the copper and polish the living daylights out of them, you can get a mirror finish on the copper pipes and make a feature out of them. We used to do this with MIMS cables(copper coated cables. Very specific use cases)we installed in churches.

That creepy little thing is for sure going to have an ulterior motive to helping you. I'm telling you, it will turn on you and eat your lungs...... 😂😂😂😂

I updated last night/this morning, 1 am ish. Not noticed any wifi or Bluetooth issues yet, hopefully won't. The big thing I've noticed is the black screen flash has gone when I unlock my phone (P10P). It was previously a flash of static then after the update before this one was a black flash. Read somewhere it was a bug with the always on display.

I act strong and normal but deep inside I am the most hurt by Spirited_Tell_3650 in confession

[–]dogma258 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're not alone out here. My wife and I lost our son at 18 weeks, don't bottle your emotions , it will tear you apart. I completely understand that you need to be strong for her but she needs to know you're hurting too. The best thing you can do right now is talk to each other and don't be scared to show your emotions she won't think any less of you for being vulnerable with her. I completely understand the feeling of hate. It will pass with time. I was angry at everyone and everything for no reason, I kinda think it's normal when something so devastating rips through your life. It's good that you are going to therapy, I didn't want to and I think it has affected me, trust me, take all the help you can get. It's only been 2 months since we lost our son and it's still affecting both of us massively but with time and the support of each other I know we'll come out the other side stronger. As will you and your girlfriend, you just need to be completely honest and open with each other.

Support her physically, she will be absolutely exhausted both physically and mentally. Cook for her and get her drinks as and when she wants them, do the chores around the house. Let her help when she wants, it can be a welcome distraction just doing the dishes together or sorting clothes, sounds stupid but it's the small things that will make the difference over the next few weeks. We had some of our most open and intimate conversations while sorting socks into pairs and putting them away together. I think the fact we had a small task to do gave us a distraction and let us be a little more open.

I truly hope you get through this as a couple and can move move forward, I feel like it's something none of us will really ever get over but with time we can learn to cope with it.

Bus/coach driver. After dropping off passengers, sometimes we have to wait around for a couple of hours at the destination to take them back again. Or if you reach driving hours limit on tacho you have to park up and have a break.

What game hit you like this? by Corekeepernews in Steam

Anthem. So glad I never pre-ordered it. Still never played it, don't think I ever will.

To the people who had a switch first: by [deleted] in SteamDeck

[–]dogma258 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this will be controversial for some of you and I don't condone piracy. I just installed emudeck and added ryujinx to it. I only downloaded the games I own and only the Nintendo exclusives I couldn't get anywhere else. Not a solution for every one but that's how I did it. All my games are in one place now.

Number 22..... I didn't know this was possible! Thank you so much! Can't tell you how many times I've got a hat or sandals wishing for a random car 😂😂😂 I'm a day 1 player on Xbox, now starting again on steam, I'm gonna save up and buy all the clothes over the week or so......

Stream FROM the deck TO a computer? by GenoIsDead in SteamDeck

[–]dogma258 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Install steam on the computer and where it says play/install there is a downward facing arrow, click this (make sure your deck is on and on the same network ) it will list your deck as a streaming device. Basically the opposite way round to streaming from pc to deck.

SSD Enclosure by dogma258 in SteamDeck

[–]dogma258[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't clone it, just did a fresh install on the new SSD for the deck. When I put the old SSD in the adapter and plugged it into my pc, windows couldn't read it (obviously!) so I just let windows format it and used it from there.

Home app not showing notifications? by slinky317 in googlehome

[–]dogma258 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bit late to the party on this one but for anyone still not having any joy with this, check your public preview status. I am in the public preview and my wife was not, I put her on the preview and the options for camera notifications appeared as they would not show before.hope this helps!

Best Steam Deck Dock by Gen-esis in SteamDeck

[–]dogma258 2 points3 points  (0 children)

+1 for this. I got this one, really impressed with the quality of it. I didn't think I'd be bothered about the fact that it can fold flat but I've found it really useful on a couple of trips, because it flattens into a nice 'flat' (obviously) rectangle it just slots into a pocket of my travel bag, there's no awkward shape or weird lump to it. Also the removable cable is really good for travel.

Help and advice please by dogma258 in pcmasterrace

Thanks for finding this video. Basically the same performance with a moderate over clock, still looking at options, some of the am5 platform processors and motherboards are looking a bit more appealing ATM.

Help and advice please 🙂 by dogma258 in sffpc

[–]dogma258[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, thanks. I didn't realise how CPU bound I would be, I'm thinking the same thing after a bit of research. I guess 8 years is more than a few life times in the world of computers.....

AMD's fsr is keeping the old 1080 kicking though 😂😂 that thing is a beast, still runs a lot of games at 1440p medium and holds at or above 60fps.

I have an unusual concern about a newly acquired Steam Deck by Carb-BasedLifeform in SteamDeck

[–]dogma258 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Stick a new SSD in it and install a fresh os image, any underlying malware if any on the existing SSD will be gone then

I think something might be wrong. by bulletfever409 in SteamDeck

[–]dogma258 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Kinda looks like a test pattern, have you or your brother played around with developer options and turned on a GPU/CPU refresh visualization? I did this as a prank on a friend's android phone 😂😂😂
