  You have to love all the enthusiasts coming together to find the best ways to not play games with their controllers.

  Am I the only person for whom invidious takes like 12 years to load? I know lots of people use it so it makes me feel like I’m doing something wrong… 😅

    Same, any video longer than a few seconds like a full minute to start playing and then buffers constantly. 250Mbit internet.

    Sometimes it takes longer to load. And there are times, when the site is outright broken. So no, you are probably not the only one. I might depend on the time and day you use and where you are located. I usually post both links, to YouTube directly and to Invidious. But didn’t took the time to do so here, as I figured its not that important.

  idk why but i hasn’t yet been able to get the Wihelm scream out of mine.

    If it has been triggered once, then it enters into a “cooldown” period of seconds or minutes until it can scream again. But if you never go that in the first place, then maybe you do it too safe. Don’t blame ya for that. My recommendation is to go to your bed, a large surface I assume, and then throw it at a distance of 1 meter away (onto the bed).

        I think it needs a swing and fly for a bit bit before it gets triggered? Or yours just don’t get scared as quickly, lol. BTW Steam HAS to be open and connected to the controller at the time you try this. Maybe that is the solution to “your problem :p”?
