Rant:

I am at work (food service) so I wasn’t able to just step away to order a Steam Controller. I started trying to a few minutes after launch and had to deal with Steam’s Mobile Authenticator bullshit (why can’t I use a different 2FA app?!?). Anyways I had customers and responsibilities so I had to put it away until I got a quiet second.

By the time I had a chance to run to the bathroom, about 50 minutes after its launch, the “checkout” button for my cart wasn’t working. So I went to the previous page, and it was sold out.

I’m so bummed; I’ve been essentially obsessing over it since the release date was announced. The wireless puck was a huge pull for me, because my DualShock 4 wireless USB adapter broke (some device’s usb must’ve supplied it bad voltage I think?), and the price to get a new one of those at this point just doesn’t make for me. Also a local electronics repair store pretty much told me to screw off, cuz of the price of the dongle.

Bluetooth isn’t as responsive, and repairing for each device is a PITA. Plus other features of the Steam Controller were exciting for me! Super disappointed.

Edit: Username was “SmoochyPit”

Wanted a place to dump this. I stopped playing in February when they prevented playing on Linux via Wine. Tried logging in now that Sober exists (sometime in August), and was met with this.

My account and username is 11 years old. I’ve spent money on premium currency and items. Hasn’t ever been a problem. I tried to appeal…

I was not given any notice about it. I checked, and there was not an email sent when my account was actioned. No warnings, not a thing.

I tried to explain this in a reply, but they shut it down, saying there would be no further communication on this issue, since it was more than 30 days old.

Feels super unfair. But I’m powerless here…

My stylus broke. Here’s my “you told me so” to @aBundleOfFerrets, @huginn, @optissima, and the creator themself, @the16bitgamer.

You told me so! I’ll print it horizontally and report back o7

Also I made a new acc so I can use Voyager! Previously used @[email protected].

My main reason for moving to Lemmy/Kbin was to have 3rd party app support, and Beehaw ceasing Lemmy updates has now prevented that (for Voyager, at least). I still love Beehaw though, but the website is really bad on mobile.

Anyways I’ll comment a picture when this print finishes 🙏
