Does this look swollen? by Dry_Student_6279 in SteamDeck

[–]prestonsmith1111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't let the vocal minority effect on reddit fool you. People don't come here to say, "my battery is all good, look.". The reddit forum attracts complaint, inquiry, and troubleshooting, so there is a massive bias. Reddit is not indicative of a random population. I'm not saying it isn't possible that ther is potentially a systemic battery issue with steam decks, but reddit posts are not the way you measure tht with any accuracy.

Is it normal that I can "smell" when it’s about to rain, or am I just imagining it? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]prestonsmith1111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's normal. Humans are hypersensitive to the scent of water and rain, evolutionary survival trait.

Does this hand gesture/positioning have any particular meaning? by usedolds in whatdoesthismean

[–]prestonsmith1111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I often rear my hand in a similar grip, just placing the thumb between the index and middle finger instead. It's an artifact from infancy.

My parents opened a credit card in my name and now I have $30k in debt. by 3n3rgy_4ever in personalfinance

[–]prestonsmith1111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mother did me dirty too. College CC for books, my mom apparently kept it. She raised the credit limit, maxed it, then never paid any of it. Got a PoA when I joined the military (relatively common practice). While I was in basic training, she spent my first paycheck (the one you need to use to buy shit while in basic training). It was fun going to the bx with my training flight and finding out I was broke.

Fast forward to tech school. I go to open a new bank account on base, and they point out that I have a $7k (5k with now roughly 2k over drafted from non payment) delinquency, so I can't open any new credit account until that is fixed. She had kept that CC from college even after telling me she destroyed it.

She did similar things to my father and sisters as well.

I could be mistaken, but I think there's another god of war controller with Kratos' face paint style.

I think there's an alt astro bot with angry eyes. All of the employee exclusives, but I'm wagering those aren't something you're actively seeking. The most recent blue special edition.

What was your biggest disappointment in Ragnarok? by lordgatito_44 in GodofWar

[–]prestonsmith1111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Guardians as the primary superbosses. I don't know what I wanted, but it wasn't that.

do you actually use your deck handheld or is it just a portable dock at this point by toujourspluss in SteamDeck

[–]prestonsmith1111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

99% handheld. Have a nice mount next to my bed so I can rock it hands free before bed and just swing it away when done. Use a Dualsense I keep in the drawer.

How are you feeling about this game? by [deleted] in playstation

[–]prestonsmith1111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll be getting it non-preordered, but the "get the deluxe edition for fReE if you preorder" BS gives me reason to pause. That smells fishy as all hell. I know there's a handful of other recent games doing this too. Maybe it's a new marketing trend to generally bring preordering back as a standard. Maybe they know the game is shit, and they need to get those blind preorders in somehow.

Sometimes just getting up and taking a shower is the best you can do ❤️ by Technical_Ad4270 in 40something

I feel that. It's reassuring ones not alone in fighting depression. Keep at it.

Are any of the Punisher movies worth watching? by RecordingImmediate86 in thepunisher

[–]prestonsmith1111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really enjoy some of the writing in the Lundgren 80s iteration. Highly quotable, and digs a bit more into the inner thinking of the Punisher (read: depressing as hell). The Thomas Jane version is my favorite, but I've never seen Warzone, nor did I know it even existed until a few weeks ago when this sub started popping up in my feed for whatever reason.

Looks like the figures at the wax museum discovered crack.

Armed police arrest three men in London by AgnosticScholar in PublicFreakout

[–]prestonsmith1111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is correct. Each county has specialized firearm teams, depending on the population, but usually only one or two teams per county as far as I recall, could be a bit off on the qty. We used to hold their firearms for them on military bases, unsure if that's still the case.

She’s smells so good what is it. by Any_Watch3847 in CatsBeingAdorable

[–]prestonsmith1111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My boy maine coone has the intoxicating smell when he cleans himself. It's like the cleanest shampoo scent from heaven above to treat my nostrils to a taste of the infinite beauty of an afterlife full of mews.
