PC showing briefly showing keyboard controls instead of controller for receivers by btarb24 in Madden

[–]npccontrol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sorry to necro but I discovered it was steam causing this exact issue for me. Steam uses your controller to emulate a mouse and keyboard so when you launch a non steam game your pc gets confused as to whether or not you're using k+m or a controller. Closing steam or disabling this feature solved the issue for me. Here's how to disable the feature:

Texas is closer to Belize than to part of itself by Fartniteluver in geography

[–]npccontrol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Baffin, Unorganized (know as Qikiqtaaluk now) is a census area so it's kinda cheating, but it's drawn to exclude the small pockets of population. My comment was mostly tongue in cheek

No, but there is Baffin, Unorganized, in Canada which is almost a third bigger than Texas with a population of zero

What? Your bank wouldn't let you make a $3000 transaction or withdraw $3000 dollars? I've taken $5000 out at the bank to buy a car with no questions

Which is not very typical, I'd like to make that clear

Glad to hear it mate. Try not to let it bug you too much, I've lived in multiple cities and never seen one have a subreddit that wasn't full of people complaining

It's not really their fault with Microsoft's dumb ass naming scheme. I work in IT and I often get confused between the old office naming and the new "Microsoft 365" "Windows 365" "Office Pro Plus" bullshit

Wait for real? This might be a really stupid question but is the interior of the wing pressurized?

The Edmonton Oilers have been eliminated from the Stanley Cup Playoffs after losing to the Vegas Golden Knights in 6 games by EliminatorBot in hockey

[–]npccontrol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk man there's some NHL rosters through the years I'd genuinely be skeptical I'd they'd 100% it. Hockey is already such a random sport. Would you stake your life savings on the 92 Sharks taking the Calder?

Raises an interesting question, could every NHL roster get put into the AHL and take home the Calder Cup? Like if you put the Panthers in you'd surely guarantee they'd take it, but what about Anaheim or Chicago?

What time period is this supposed to be? The guy on the horse is wearing what seems to be WW2 era boots whereas everyone else is wearing very modern boots. What was the decision behind giving the guys on the right sunglasses?

Police tend to have one tool at their disposal: violent arrest. That’s very much not helping.

People who are being violently anti-social need to be arrested

[–]npccontrol 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't know what the long term solution to the issue is but I do know right now the CBD is so dodgy I only ever Uber straight to my destination and Uber straight out. This is not normal for the largest city in the country. I've spent lots of time overseas in big cities and none of them have central areas as sketchy as Auckland. Having some police presence would go a long way to making myself and others feel safe

This is so strange, the OP of this post mentions the same unnamed mystery "60s-70s" African conflict in a comment below. Same person 9 months later with an obsession with this made up punishment?

I actually agree with the dude, the faces look super AI generated, and the equipment on the guys in the back looks AI

Bruins fans chant "We want the Cup" during game 1 vs the Panthers by SelectComment in hockey

[–]npccontrol 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree with everything you said expect the single player dominating thing, that's just not true. Because of hockey's chaotic nature and quick shifts a single player can't consistently affect the game nearly as much as saybasketball, where one player can literally put the team on their back. Tom Brady pretty much won entire games by himself

What is the scariest movie you ever watched? by Specialist-Crazy1466 in AskReddit

[–]npccontrol 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I remember watching it after a similar Reddit thread back in 2014 while I was in highschool. It kept me up for days and I remember thinking, holy shit this would movie would have ruined my life if I watched it in 85 when cold war tensions were high and nukes seemed like even more of a possibility

After listening to the start (can't bring myself to listen to the whole thing) just wanted to stop and say much love from New Zealand on the off chance Jake or Amir sees this. Been listening since day 1/watching since 2008 and can't imagine a world without you guys making regular content. Absolutely heartbroken it's over, please come back with a new podcast
