   A while back I became quite disappointed when I noticed that my Steam Deck started to drift in games that utilized the gyro controls. Even if I were to calibrate the controls, the drift would return every time I powered on the system or woke it up from sleep.

   I contacted Steam support who recommended to do a factory reset, but then I would need to download all the games anew. There had to be another way!

   I scoured the internet in hope to get some answers, but all I got was either the normal calibration “trick” (it’s not a trick if it’s an actual function, lol) or some random scripts that forced the calibration settings automatically every reboot which didn’t work.

   So, this started around when I got myself a dock for the Steam Deck. Because of this, I was afraid that it might have caused some damage to the system. Too bad, because I loved having a powerful, albeit a clunky Nintendon’t Steam Pro™…

   However, one day when I was about to play I had it laying flat on the desk next to me while it was booting when an update had been received. Without picking it up, I applied the update and rebooted. Back in business, when I started the game and was about to do the calibration as per usual, lo and behold, the gyro drift was gone!

   I wonder if the drift had anything to do with the Steam Deck resting on the dock, slightly tilted? It sure seems like it, I have now restarted the Steam Deck (both laying flat and while holding it) and the gyro is all calibrated now. However, I noticed a slight drift when I started the Deck while resting my thumb on the capacitive area of the joystick. I guess it’s like when you start up a console holding the stick in a certain direction, and the console thinks that direction is the resting position.

   So if you’re having issues with the gyro, remember – for great justice, don’t fiddle the sticks while booting.

   This is the point I've come across often where it seems there is an step skipped at this point where the person doesn't say and hold for reaction (such as "oh I didn't mean to offend you") and then say a bit about naturally having our own balance and also balance between people individually (but hopefully without self-censoring too much).

   But because people are too offended often the space or protocol or balancing potential is skipped and people almost rest into that position.

   So when I have come to balancing what I meant or saying it wasn't to do with them - they have almost already chosen to stay in the corner / reducing their own position instead of laying things and accepting it can feel something (and I might be xyz) but often it shouldn't be the end or a big thing to find out between new people new and slightly-shady looking things since we have not spent ANY time with them,

   And so yes friends are few and far between nowadays as the art is being lost and those with friends simply hold fragile titles until someone speak about any feelings (then it's over or silence for a few moths - nothing beautiful growing like the #Relationships post I made recently about "Do the uncomfortable in relationships..." (can find it by that hashtag.

   AND because I'm effectively doing a "sped-up version" compared to the 30 years to know someone I'm having more time with people to realise how they skip steps and even don't know what friendship / humanity is where it's just you over there and I'll be waaaay over there and just "hi-bye" depth - almost over-civil and scared of their own humanity and other people's shadows.... while complaining of course...

   Plenty of work to do peeps... join me (....me meaning humanity itself... without sounding Jesus about it - Just we are part of the whole and what other way!?)
