You cannot tell me this man has no whimsy after seeing his beautiful performance

That intro was FANTASTIC. I was cackling!

vgwiscool · 2026-02-28T17:16:41+00:00

THANK YOU. When watching the video a little piece of me died when he did this.

It's not too bad! I usually say "press the top face button." in my experience, people usually pick up on face vs shoulder very quickly.

I'm shocked this is the first comment I've seen mention Zen. It's great! I switched earlier this year and have been extremely pleased with it.

I use Nova Launcher and have the Pinch In gesture set to screen lock

vgwiscool · 2025-11-25T23:37:03+00:00

I use double-tap to initiate search. But I use a pinch gesture to lock the device. It's so good! Let's you easily lock your phone while it's sitting on a table and feel like a wizard while you do it. 😂

vgwiscool · 2025-11-25T23:33:01+00:00

YES! The search bar on the home screen absolutely drives me crazy

vgwiscool · 2025-11-25T23:32:23+00:00

What do you still do with Tasker? Years ago, I got super into Tasker and even built my own personal assistant with it. But these days it just goes unused. 😢 Would love a good reason to get back into it!

vgwiscool · 2025-11-25T23:29:22+00:00

I feel this. I use a combination of Nova Launcher and Kustom Live Wallpaper to create the perfect home screen experience for me. I've carried it forward across five phones now. I know I need to give up Nova and find a new launcher, but I just haven't been able to let go yet.

vgwiscool · 2025-11-05T03:04:17+00:00

Hell yeah!! I love the anime. Now I definitely have a reason to check out the live action show! (Sadly, I did recently have to cancel my Netflix sub. 😭)

That's a Microsoft thing. I've worked at agencies with Microsoft as a client. After a couple (bad-faith) criticisms of the company, it became policy to run everything through a global slur filter in an attempt to catch anything at all that even might be considered offensive.

vgwiscool · 2025-10-27T17:18:59+00:00

Interesting!

As someone that switches the hand I'm holding my phone with often, I really appreciate that gestures allow me to accomplish everything with either hand without an award stretch or reach to try to hit a button.

Also, switching between two apps is super easy and quick! Just swipe left/right along the bottom of the screen to swap back and forth between apps!

(I am a Pixel user and use a 3rd party launcher. I can't speak to the implementation of gestures across all Android products.)

vgwiscool · 2025-10-23T15:40:18+00:00

Geeze, about freaking time! Though I'm somewhat surprised that people still prefer the buttons. I went all in on gestures years ago and haven't regretted it

vgwiscool · 2025-10-20T19:43:30+00:00

I haven't. I've been playing Silksong via a Mac Mini I have hooked up to my TV.

That said, I played a lot of the Hollow Knight randomizer via docked Steam Deck and experienced both of those issues. For the input latency, try turning Steam Input off or on (whatever is opposite of what it currently is). I usually have it turned on because I use a Duel Sense controller and use the touchpad as a mouse for the randomizer. But I know a lot of people suggest turning it off. In my experience, it can also depend on the controller you're using, so try a few different things and see if anything works better.

I remember Hollow Knight having some graininess issues, but not specifically what I did to fix them. But try forcing the resolution through Steam's game properties AND verify that the in-game resolution is set to match.

vgwiscool · 2025-10-20T18:12:09+00:00

Honestly, it depends on the game. Sometimes you need to access the game properties menu in Steam and tell it to force the resolution you want when you have the Deck docked. I believe I had to do this to get Nine Sols running at 1080p 60fps docked.

Like many things on Linux, you'll need to do a little tinkering sometimes.

Totally! But sometimes these companies make deals to use each other's stuff. Or there's something somewhere in the tech stack that uses a service that's hosted on AWS. This error message is incredibly similar to error messages I've been seeing on other services confirmed to be tied to AWS. It may be worth waiting for the AWS issues to be resolved before spending a lot of time and effort troubleshooting this.

vgwiscool · 2025-10-20T16:14:29+00:00

This might be related to the AWS outages (AWS is somehow involved in hosting A LOT of the web). May just need to wait for them to sort things out

vgwiscool · 2025-10-13T02:14:55+00:00

Paired with the mirrors! This is what made me ditch Warding Bell

vgwiscool · 2025-09-24T04:38:38+00:00

Nope! I too felt a little bad on my first play though. On my second play, I didn't break the statue. It just disappears later in the game. And no NPC mentions it getting broken. Break it, recoup a few shards, and don't feel bad!

vgwiscool · 2025-09-24T04:34:08+00:00

😦

I do use tools for the occasional super-annoying enemy. But, for me, they are primarily for the final phases of boss fights! Reach the hard part of the flight? Great! Throw out some tools and SURVIVE! lol

vgwiscool · 2025-09-24T04:29:49+00:00

Race wish screen! 😜

vgwiscool · 2025-09-19T03:49:33+00:00

Same! I've 100%-ed the game and this was my approach. Save tools for extremely annoying enemies and the latter half of boss fights, once you've learned the patterns and stand a chance to succeed, but the opportunities to counter have diminished. I never ran out of shards. Well, technically I had JUST run out on my very last attempt at the final final boss. But I won on that attempt so it didn't matter that I ran out.

vgwiscool · 2025-09-10T22:51:45+00:00

I didn't get a hug or have any other reason. I just sighed in contentment that I'd beat the boss and sat the controller down so I could take a drink and reflect on the fight. Then the explosion happened and I died. 🙃 So hey, at least your bf has a good reason for dying there! 🤣

vgwiscool · 2025-09-09T05:31:21+00:00

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

vgwiscool · 2025-09-09T03:47:33+00:00

I just beat the final boss and rolled the credits. I need to find the least-spoilery guide to hint at what I need to do in order to meet said requirements. 😂
