    Steam controller for old school games?

    I've been thinking of ordering a steam controller, but I'm worried about them expecting you to use the touchscreen for a dpad. Biggest reason I want to get rid of my 360 controller is the shifty dpad. Anyone around that beta'd it try using it on nes/genesis/etc emulators?

    The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth

    Anyone else playing it? I played the original quite a bit (just a little short of getting all the achievements), and I've been playing rebirth a ton since it came out. It's like a remake into a more functional engine + a massive expansion of the items/levels/characters/etc. I had a really...

    My mad scientist lab in Wildstar ^.^

    I put a lot of effort into it and posted a link to the tour of it I made on reddit expecting my hopes and dreams to get dashed in a torrent of why the hell would you link that and instead I got all pleasant remarks (not a ton mind you, but universally positive) Including stuff like '10/10 "...

    Reaction speed

    I was messing around with this site: http://www.aimbooster.com/ and did their reaction test under training. After about two minutes my average was 239.5 ms. The lowest I would get was 183 (got exactly that multiple times) The highest was 300 (exactly that multiple times when it would give one...

    I have 404 games on steam...

    a bunch on GoG and some on Amazon, and I'm playing Don't Starve almost exclusively... and tempted to play X-Com: UFO Defense again which I like more than Enemy Unknown... Sigh I feel kind of stupid sometimes. At least most of these games I paid pennies to dollars for with humble bundles...

    Civil war more like Iraq than WW2?

    http://weeklysift.com/2014/08/11/not-a-tea-party-a-confederate-party/ Kind of interesting article with a lot of food for thought although I don't know if one could really draw any real conclusions from it. It has actually made me look at the civil war a bit different so I thought it'd be...

    Michelle Bachman: US Holding Mexican Children for Librul Medical Experiments

    http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/michele-bachmann-claims-president-obama-wants-use-unaccompanied-children-medical-experiments Article has the quote embedded from a radio show where she states it. It just astounds me the level of crazy some people can go to (and she still has a voice on a...

    Where to get semi-cheap business/casual womens cloths

    So I have an interview with some recruiters group in a week that I want to at least look semi-decent for, but I don't have any business casual clothes. I'm kind of hoping to just get some off the rack somewhere if possible, but don't know where to look. Kind of looking for something semi-cheap...

    Anyone else looking forward to Wildstar?

    I've been playing the beta this weekend after not really paying attention to it, and I've been pleasantly surprised by it. The game-play is very fluid, which is one of the things I care about the most. After watching some stuff about the dungeon/endgame content, I'm almost ready to preorder...

    Is three olives vodka any good?

    Absolut is usually my go to, but it was really expensive at the store I was at so I just kind of picked from the stuff on sale in the middle shelves at random. Anyone think this is decent?

    I don't get these taxes

    So before I was medically retired this year I made 26900 dollars (taxable income was in the military). 3000 of it was withheld and I was due to get 1300 back. I also received two months of retirement pay before my VA pay kicked in. That was 2500 dollars. Of which 250 was withheld. Now when...

    Quick build to replace dead computer

    So my computer got smoke damaged and is now throwing crucial thread failure BSOD and I'm considering all parts unreliable since they've all been covered in soot while running. I was planning on waiting for skylake (I wanted 6 cores damn it), but it looks like I'll have to take a serious look at...

    Wait for note 3 or S4 or HTC Max (verizon so I'm dreaming)

    I just shattered my phone a couple of days ago. While it still works, I figure it's time I upgraded (Thunderbolt). I'd like a phablet although I haven't really been following things. Wondering if I should wait it out for the note 3 (is it likely to come soon?) or just give up and settle for...

    Calling ATOT Lawyers; armchair or otherwise. Fire/lease related

    So there was a fire in the apartment below mine and mine was completely smoked out (it's a masonry building so it didn't spread to my apartment). I'd like to get out of my apartment, but my landlord is stonewalling me on breaking my lease; she wants the standard 60 days notice and 1 month rent...

    Massive Challice kickstarter

    Is it normal for your nose to run when pressuring eye?

    War for the Overworld. Has anyone tried?

    I see they're offering the beta for sale on steam. Wondering if anyone's given this a try. Looks like they're really going for a cloned dungeon keeper look, but that doesn't mean it actually has substance so I'm reluctant to jump into it.

    God pro-abortion?

    So looking at Genesis it seems like God is all for abortion. Even post-birth (of civilization) ones. http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+6%3A6-7&version=NIV 6 The Lord regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled. 7 So the Lord...

    Should I try to sleep...

    Last couple of weeks I've been trying to use prescription sleep aids to sleep and failing (would still be 4-5 hours past when I really needed to fall asleep)... So yesterday, I said fuck it and didn't sleep. Felt fine next day/this night. Now, I'm on night two and don't think I can fall...

    Good (for the price) 30-60$ speakers?

    I rarely use computer speakers and my current 14 year old 5.1 set seems to be dying. I don't want to invest a lot since I don't use them much. I'd like to get as good as I can for my price (understanding that there's nothing really "good" at that range), but speakers aren't really something I...

    Thinking of switching from Verizon to Sprint

    So I have a thunderbolt I'm pretty happy with (been good to me since I got the extended battery), but I'm up for an upgrade and I can leave Verizon in March. Losing unlimited data or staying on a subsidized plan without a subsidy is unpalatable to me although there's a chance I'll just eat...

    I want to puke

    So I went to an optometrist today and I happened to have a migraine (had one for the past three days so it was pretty likely). Anyway dialated eyes + ultra bright light = me not feeling well. I'm so sick right now I actually left work because I'm just useless at the moment, and I want to do...

    Diagnosed with ehlers danlos a few days ago...

    So my knees have been bothering me a good deal the past few months, and I finally got a doctor to listen about my general joint issues being related to EDS (only took two years) so I got a referral to a rheumatologist. He confirmed it just by looking at me basically since literally half the...

    Severe sore throat that suddenly stops?

    So past few days I've had a sore throat. Yesterday, it was on par with other times I've had strep. I also had a low-grade fever. Then it all of a sudden dropped to very mild pain and this morning I no longer have a fever. It just seems bizarre to me that such a severe sore throat would...

    Anything better than daily plate?

    So I'm actually starting to get too thin. New migraine medicine I was put on reduced my appetite and I'm falling below 130, which I don't like. So I decided to start tracking my calories again with the purpose of maintaining my weight this time. Last time I was tracking, I tried a bunch...

    Should I believe this email (related to 120hz tvs)

    It says 120Hz input devices. I can't find accepted inputs in the documentation for those. The only company that even bothers to specify it seems to be Sony and they apparently don't have any. Edit: I tried Live chat to verify and explained multiple times that I was looking for 120Hz input and...

    Well crap, might have lost phone

    So my trusty thunderbolt doesn't seem to be around : ( I'm hoping I misplaced it, but worst case scenario I accidentally threw it away. Don't have an upgrade till November. What's a good interim plan? I could buy a good phone flat out then maybe buy something else with my upgrade and sell one...

    Is it just me or are "gourmet" jelly beans terrible?

    I've tried two different brands of jelly beans that purported to be "gourmet." One was jellybelly; the other I don't remember. Both were terrible. The bags smelled like ass and at least half of the flavors were terrible; the ones that tasted ok weren't even that great either, and yes I...

    So I got blood drawn today

    and the thing they poke you with had a length of flexible tube that went to the thing that fed the vial. It was fucking awesome! People are usually taking 7-12 vials from me so the whole jerking the needle slightly with each vial insertion was annoying as hell, and I already don't deal well...

    good tvs to use as monitors?

    I've been wanting to get a new main monitor. My current one is a 32 inch 13x7 tv. I'm looking to get an 19x10 120hrz tv 32-42 inch. It's tough trying to figure out ones that take 120 inputs over ones that process the extra frames on their own. Also while I'm not picky about response time it...

    Useless steam prizes

    Sigh, the two things I "won" in the steam gift thing were -33% off heroes of might and magic 6 (it was 50% off during the sales) and -50% off a valve game (all their games were 50% off through the entire sale). So either I could get better/the same prices now or wait a half month and use my...

    Water resistant/proof kindle fire cases?

    So I'm thinking of getting a kindle fire for when I take baths, but this seems like a risky use for it. Don't need a case that'll let it survive a dunk (although that would be good) just one that'll keep errant water shorting a connector or something. When I look for ones, all I find are these...

    How is Empire: TW this awful?

    So I kind of skipped from Rome:TW to TW: Shogun 2 (love both), and a while ago steam had a big bundle sale of old TW games so I bought that. I was trying to get into Empire, but the battle AI is just too awful to play against. Most of the time the AI cavalry charges straight into my fortified...
