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… 😅
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.
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 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”?
Oh, I just noticed something. Just started Steam and tried it again and again, but it wouldn’t scream. But Steam was running in the background. Turns out, Steam client has to be in focus on the screen too. At least that was the case for me. First try it screamed. Also quite impressive if you think about it, as there are no speakers.
yes, also someone reverse engineered the firmware and figured out the hidden commands that are used to do that, and made it available so you can use it to play anything you want: https://github.com/Pixel1011/SteamHapticsPlayer
LOL this is hilarious! So we got so far:
You have to love all the enthusiasts coming together to find the best ways to not play games with their controllers.

Same, any video longer than a few seconds like a full minute to start playing and then buffers constantly. 250Mbit internet.
It actively blocks me for having a VPN on
