Same. Meta spyware on my face has never piqued my interest but Valve can headcrab the fuck out of me.

Deckard is rumoured to be the standalone VR headset (Steam Deck on your face).

Roy is rumoured to be the VR controllers.

Steam Controller 2 is the second coming of Jesus or something.

Yeah, I find it boring when my browser doesn’t release predatory pay day loans apps to third world countries.

I accepted it was going to take time to get used to it so I slapped on Skyrim (or it might have been Oblivion, I can’t remember which) and sunk 40h or so into the Steam Controller with gyro aim and using both touchpads.

Probably had it down by 5 to 10h but you know how it goes with those classic Bethesda games…

What’s crazy is my aim is absurdly better with the Steam Controller vs normal gamepad. Not quite at mouse level but way closer to mouse than gamepad.

Also playing point and click adventure games on the Steam Controller is a total dream. Best way to replay classics on the sofa.

Palworld is awesome fun but let’s be honest, there’s plenty of jank, inconsistencies, and bland mechanical design throughout the game. Doesn’t stop it from being fun (and my partner and I putting hundreds of hours into the game) but is it award worthy? Probably not.

TIL “lent” is a slur

I envy you deeply. My biggest regret is not stocking up when they were really cheap. I just didn’t think Valve would stop making them. At least they never stopped supporting it!

The fact you can block an instance where communities reside that you have issues with is incredible!

It’s like if Reddit gave you a feature to block a subreddit and all the users that subscribed to it in one single action.

Edit: OP should try creating an account on different instances? For instance on the instance hosting the community that just posted this to…?

I have several accounts and sh.itjust.works has been doing a stellar job with managing the toxicity from leaking into this instance.

My total guess is weighing scales used to be expensive / inaccessible for the common home baker and one of the first popular recipe books thus used volume, became wildly popular, and indirectly taught a generation of home bakers that baking recipes are by volume, not weight.

Have you checked bookshop.org? You can still buy online and have the order fulfilled by your nearest independent book store.

And leans towards eating lots of glitter. At least in my experience.

Honestly, it’s very likely just Salesforce since that cantankerous, janky beast is so easy to use poorly.

Firmware up to date? I have no issues with mine although the range on the dongle is pretty weak which did cause it to drop connection but it went away completely after running a USB extension cable from my Deck’s dock so the dongle is closer to me when I’m sat on the sofa.

Me too! I literally keep it permanently in a portable usb hub so it’s harder to lose.

My local, independent book store is going strong. Who needs another big chain? Support independents!

My day 1 ordered Steam Controller is still going strong but I’ve been constantly worrying about the day it dies. Can’t wait, if this rumour proves to be true.

And well worth the wait!

I don’t have good advice here as I’m blessed with parents that ask their kids’ input before voting.

There’s a lot of people suggesting cutting off your family and highlighting scenarios they did the same with their family over the recent election.

Just remember that if they’re stuck in an echo chamber, while to you this was about survival, they experienced very very different messaging through the past few years. They very well could have no idea the true ramifications of their vote.

These echo chambers of misinformation and disinformation are dangerous and, in my opinion, we need to help people out of them and not cut them off to leave them to fall deeper and deeper into them.

That said, you still must prioritise your health and wellbeing. If your relatives are deeply impacting you, you don’t deserve that and must look after yourself as a priority.

CRM is “customer relationship management” i.e. a system to manage interactions with customers such as tracking calls, marketing emails and collateral, meetings, quoting, support tickets, and more. It tracks the lifecycle/pipeline of a sale from prospecting, lead qualification and solution mapping, demos and meetings, proposals, negotiations and commitment, opportunity win/loss, license generation, onboarding, renewals, and a ridiculously huge number of other things.

It’s not just tracking the numbers but giving you a centralised system that all other business operations can hook into so you’ve a single source of truth about customer state so that various other operations can be triggered.

When you’ve hundreds of sales people, numerous systems, marketing people, support teams, and more all reading and writing to the same CRM system, if that “system” was a spreadsheet, you’d be constantly deadlocking and race conditioning the hell out of it, not to mention how absurdly huge that file would become with all that historical data (since a big part of CRM is also projections and other analyses across all the data you have).
