That’s too bad. It really was a fantastic console; it’s the last one I ever bought new, besides the 3DS.
When you say it doesn’t read disks, does it recognize the game title but fail to launch? Or it doesn’t see the game at all? If it’s the former, you may be able to find someone who has a working 360, put your hard drive in their system, “install” the game data to the hard drive, then put your hard drive back in your system.
That’s pretty neat! I feel like the fix I came up with will last as long as I need it to (even if the pins wear through the solder, there will be a mountain of it piled up around the pin to still make contact), but if it ever dies again I’ll probably just hard wire it. This was the first time I took the neck off the guitar since ~2019 when I inserted the paper shim to get it to work as well as it did. Side note: paper shim no longer necessary.
that circuit will be safer from heat
There is no logic or processing done on this part of the controller; each fret button is a membrane contactor that just completes a circuit, and this little board is just a landing spot for the wires going down. You’d have to be really heavy handed to damage it with heat.
Drawing a penis on the glass in the opening scene is like dropping the baby penguin off the map in Mario 64. It’s a compulsion. The thought enters your head and, once it does, must be executed for the simple goal of seeing if you can.
Valve: We need a way to sell our high end VR headset. Let’s release it with a long time fan favorite title; we can use Half Life to get people otherwise not interested in VR games into the ecosystem, and maybe they’ll get other games too!
Half Life fans: watch someone else play the game for free without buying Half Life or an Index
Valve: surprised Pikachu
but is there much gameplay if you remove the VR stuff?
Good question. The gameplay blends very smoothly with the Index and doesn’t feel gimmicky, it’s hard to say how much would feel “missing” playing on mouse and keyboard.
Well it’s a good thing PC parts are so cheap right now.
I’m not saying it’s easily accessible by any means, but you can definitely get a headset for a good deal less than $1500, and many (if not most) games can be played sitting at your desk in the same position you’d be in if holding a traditional game controller.
I agree it sucks that there’s no non-VR version. I just wanted to say that it isn’t exclusive to the obscenely wealthy or anything, if you already have a PC capable of running it you’re likely in a position to be able to swing getting the gear for it.
That’s ok, I was lying anyways.
Ok, thanks for clarifying I guess?
If I’m being honest my real conclusion was “OP seems real whiny about people wanting more content outside of what they’ve been posting”, especially with the “I ‘reminded’ them about the 2000+ posts” remark, but I wanted to give you the benefit of the doubt.
I agree with you otherwise, but have to point out that 27 is 50% more than 18, not “nearly double”.
Nope. None. Every single one of my many sexual experiences has been executed flawlessly to the extreme enthusiasm of my numerous partners.
they missed the old days of ~10 new posts a day.
why don’t they just go look back through it for their enjoyment?
I don’t see how you’ve drawn the conclusion that people haven’t already done this, and want new content to go through. The fediverse is small enough that you can usually comb through an entire community’s backlog in a couple days, if not hours. When the backlog is empty, they’re going to wish they had more content.
It’s like recommending someone just go watch the older seasons of a long running show they liked that ended, sure there’s probably a number of people that haven’t seen the first season or two but a lot of people have already seen it and watching the same show on repeat is not the same as a new episode every week.
This is a 15 year old that carved “FUK AMERIKKKA” into a bathroom stall and thinks he’s one step away from becoming Che Guevara
Edit: complete with the “if you’re here because I offended you 😎😎😎” in the bio. Damn bro, got me.
Imagine going to a comedy club as a stand-up comedian. After 45 minutes of making stupid faces and blabbering sounds, the owner comes out and tells you to head off the stage. And somehow thinking to yourself, “they’re so scared of me!”
Based off the product pictures that were on the actual listing, I think it’s more aimed at older people with mobility issues.
After hours of scrutiny, I’ve determined that the product in the top (the Elila Master) is different than the one on the bottom (the Elila Pro)
At the risk of sounding like an ad, the “Elala Pro Rideable Carry-On” is 21.3 x 9.1 x 20.5 inches
Edit: the one in the larger top image is the “Master” model at 24.5 x 11.1 x 23.3 inches
It’s technically a little wide but the carryon I use is technically wider than allowed and they don’t care unless you’re in the last boarding groups of a full flight
~~I’m aware. That’s why I said there’s no logic or processing, and the buttons just complete a circuit. ~~
Edit: rereading both comments I think I see why you pointed this out; the reason I said there’s wasn’t logic or processing was to say that there weren’t any actual components on the board (like IC chips or anything) to be burnt out, meaning that if one were to damage the board via heat they’d have to straight up burn through the board and traces, which is of course possible but I don’t think will happen accidentally.
Having handled the board, I’m confident that anyone who has used a soldering iron for more than an hour will not accidentally burn through or damage it. It’s cheaply made, to be sure, but not fragile or delicate by any means. I’d be more concerned about damaging the cables on the other side, but that’s also a relatively easy fix and not a problem if the board is left inside the guitar.
