I find it breaks my game immersion 🤷♂️
- Comment on Valve Uploads Steam Controller Unboxing Video, Launch Imminent 2 weeks ago:
Oh, maybe they added it later! Pretty cool if so. It just means you can tilt the controller without affecting the gyro until your thumbs are on the pads or joysticks. It’s configurable on the Deck.
- Comment on Valve Uploads Steam Controller Unboxing Video, Launch Imminent 2 weeks ago:
Mostly yes, but it wasn’t flawless. Those trackpads are quite loud (compared to the Deck), the ABXY buttons are a bit too small and awkwardly placed, and there are just many times that I want a second thumbstick. Also it lacks touch-to-engage for the gyro but that’s a newer invention.
I think the most impressive innovation came from pairing it with Steam Input. That system is still wildly underappreciated; it’s what lets you turn the trackpads into things like custom radial menus.

That’s a very good point, and now that I’ve seen more coverage (including this video) and got a better understanding of how the tech works (based on 2D frames plus motion vectors) I’m inclined to agree.
I wonder if it would be possible to feed this system information about object materials and 3D lighting and spatial atmosphere so it’s not just “painting over” every frame? Or if that would even help it? Because the way it works now, I’m honestly concerned ever major game will start to look homogenous.
- Comment on Nvidia Answers my DLSS 5 Questions - Daniel Owen 1 month ago:
I haven’t seen this video yet (will when I get home) but based on another by Gameranx, DLSS 5 looks like it will simultaneously:
- Ruin any artistic intent or design in character faces or other key details at the center of player focus, and
- Noticeably improve backgrounds and other bits that don’t stay under focus.
If they can program it to just skip over character models, it might actually be good tech. Of course I have near zero faith in that happening.

Surprsingly different secrets than 137 despite using two of the same digits.

If you can, notify the manager you interviewed with that HR sabotaged this. At least where I work now, the tech teams are great but HR is a hot mess and we (sadly) have no idea what the hell they are doing.

Wait there are SIX of these letters to Faith?!
I’m not sure if she’s an iconoclastic groundbreaker or a fucking nuisance but I guess I gotta read the rest to know.

This actually makes me unreasonably happy, kinda like knowing the secrets of the number 37.

Right. But my point was poor empathy on your part.
- Comment on Spray n Pray 2 months ago:
I don’t disagree in principle, but you seem to be the only person here who thinks this one is less than clear. It doesn’t appear to be ‘misleading’ for anyone else.

You write like you didn’t lose anyone in your life to the pandemic. Must be nice.
- Comment on Spray n Pray 2 months ago:
It’s obviously 2020 because it starts at basically zero cases. Also it’s weird that your expect rigor from memes.

I too would want a robe, mask, and gun if these fools approached me.

Or like Saints Row 3 and beyond. You mean I can wear a hotdog costume while terrorizing a city from my fighter jet? Yes please.

Came here to recommend LGIO too. Cracks me up, I’ve seen basically every video.
Some of the best stuff these days is actually on the unofficial youtube channel where they repost segments from the twitch streams, esp. when Josh collabs with other folks. There’s this UK streamer, Lollipop or something (I really need to look her up) and she might be even funnier than him. But they’re great together.

I’ve seen chipmunks do this so many times. Those cheeks can hold a lot, but not as many snacks as they wish they could hold.

Terraria? That could keep you engrossed for a good hundred+ hours 🙂
- Comment on Forza Horizon 6 - Official Gameplay Teaser Trailer 3 months ago:
The “story”, “writing” and “characters” are also painfully bad. Cutscenes arent skippable. You can mute those bland corporate written assholes though.
I only played FH4 but yeah they were pretty awful. The Drift guy was okay though, he was basically like “hey go have fun and show off”. Generic but pleasant enough. Other characters were unlikeable.
Playground Games’ track record is still pretty good and they overtook Turn10 a long time ago.
??? These games are made by both Playground and Turn10.

- Comment on Why does everyone put celery in soup stock? 4 months ago:
Sure, I’m familiar with mirepoix and I know my capabilities in a kitchen.
I’m asking why practically every soup recipe or chef or manufacturer includes it. Before this thread I didn’t think anyone had a better-than-neutral opinion of celery.
- Comment on Why does everyone put celery in soup stock? 4 months ago:
I find a bit of soy sauce works well if a soup needs more umami.
Yep I enjoy truffles and lamb. Don’t recall if I’ve tried those other two items but mushrooms in general are nice.
- Comment on Why does everyone put celery in soup stock? 4 months ago:
No allergy.
If you don’t like that flavor just leave it out when you make it
I do. But that doesn’t help me with soups from a restaurant or a can. I would enjoy so many more from a menu or grocery if they weren’t loaded with celery.
- Comment on Why does everyone put celery in soup stock? 4 months ago:
Yep. If you’ve ever tried Old Bay seasoning, it’s the dominant flavor in that. Apologies to the state of Maryland, but I find it foul.
Of course you could also just bite into a stalk, you’ll taste it.
- Comment on Why does everyone put celery in soup stock? 4 months ago:
think at some point you may need to admit that this post is essentially “I don’t like this thing, why does everyone else?”
That’s true of a lot of things. My question is why it’s so extraordinarily prevalent. Onions I understand as they are very dynamic. But I have a friend who hates onions 🤷
I don’t understand why you seem to struggle so much with the idea that others don’t share it.
I don’t. Simple as that.
Personally I think garlic is absolute magic, but I can 100% accept that others may not like it the same way, and some may be violently repelled by it. 🤷♂️
Totally agreed, garlic is awesome, but I know some people out there may hate it. And some like it but can’t eat it due to IBS.
