Another one from earlier (link to original)

I think the tricky part about getting people into speedcubing is them realizing that they shouldn’t buy Rubik’s cubes. I got one and just left it sitting for years because of how bad it is to turn. It wasn’t until I watched random YouTube videos before I realized I could enjoy it if I got a different puzzle

Speedcubing. There are good cubes for < $10 now and beginner’s method is easy to learn. There are many resources online and can be learned within minutes. Then you start improving and getting faster quickly.

In my case I then went to a local competition and just amazed at how quick and how young these kids are.

Mostly when it was released or when I noticed it was released. It’s in no particular order

Hello! I updated the post but just FYI it's now working for me after I disabled both Steam Overlay and Steam Input from the game's settings.

[–] thisisdee 1 points 5 months ago

Oh weird. I was playing around with a bunch of settings and it suddenly worked. I think the last change I did was disable steam overlay and disable steam input on the controller settings!

Thank you so much for the very detailed response. I'm sorry for taking so long but I finally got some time to try messing around with it again.

Edit: You mentioned trying two different controllers. Have you tried to have both plugged in at the same time so that the game can see both?

So I actually use the controllers via Bluetooth because I couldn't get my Mac to recognize the controllers when plugged in. I'll try a few more things and see if I can get it to even get recognized.

While you have the game running, are you able to open the Steam Overlay?

I wasn't able to get Steam Overlay to show up while playing Stardew Valley. Tried with controllers and with mouse/keyboard and it didn't work. I confirmed that it worked with other games.

According to Beacon, this is the beginning of the new arc "Race to the Moon"

Just a warning, I’m a wimp and got scared in one specific scene/puzzle. It’s a very minor horror theme, ended up having to have my husband sitting on the floor next to me facing the other way to complete it cos I got too scared. Loved the series though, amazing games.

Saw Stasa Gejo’s IG post. It’s a long post. At first she’s just lamenting her poor performance and it’s partially due to schedule. Back to back comps can’t feel great. But later on she also says she felt uncomfortable and how unwelcoming the venue is.

In the comments it seems Natalia Grossman and Oceana Mackenzie (among others) agree, although not sure on which points. I don’t know what to say about the venue issue, but it’s unfortunate that the competitors seem to not get what they need.

I do think it’s strange how packed the schedule is right now. And I’m a somewhat new fan to comp climbing so I don’t know why that is. Is it for Olympics qualy or the world champs? Or just something else? There’s a comment saying “politics always wins” so I’m not sure if there are other issues IFSC is trying to push with these comps.
