I'm really good at cup games and the animation they use for the cup swapping is really slow, so I was pleased that I was able to pick it out in the middle cup on my first try. Of course, that failed, and he revealed it was in the left one.

I figured that this was based on real cup scams, where the player uses sleight-of-hand to pocket the object until you choose a cup, where they then deposit it into a different one after you answer. And I realized, oh! That's what my x-ray watch is for! And I got ready for Bond to catch this guy out on his scam in dramatic fashion.

But no, it's in the middle cup. It never moves. This guy makes no attempt to protect his $30,000 gemstone with tricks or scams. It's literally just in the cup the whole time, and the game forces you to use the x-ray or it won't give it to you.

That feels... unrewarding? If I guessed correctly, wouldn't that be indicative of Bond's skill? It seems like a weird choice.

I have a medium-sized pond on my uncle's property that is spring-fed. On one of the edges of the shore, there is a small culvert (about a foot wide) that drains excess water at the top, with a removable steel gate.

Every night, some beavers that live on the pond collect sticks and leaves and dam up the culvert. This was left unchecked for about a year, and now the pond has risen about a foot and flooded an area along the edge with a small cabin, stone firepit, and other human amenities. There's no nest at the actual culvert, just a blockage that prevents flow. Removing it seems futile, as it gets dammed back up every night when the beavers come back to stop it.

I certainly appreciate what the beavers are doing for the ecosystem, and I don't want to get rid of them at all, but I was wondering if there was a way I could keep them away from the culvert for 1-2 days such that the pond can properly drain back to its normal level?

Once the pond drains by a foot and the grate is no longer underwater, it will be trivial to maintain again and I won't need to worry about it constantly anymore. But as it stands, the culvert simply doesn't have enough time to drain back to normal before those beavers block it again.

I've been trying to get a pressure modifier button set up. It's currently bound to Shift at 30%, and I set up my right trigger to hold the key down (with a small fire stop delay so it stays held) when soft-pressed. However, nothing happens in-game even though PCSX2 seems to be reading the modifier key properly.

I also tried binding Shift to a separate button that I held while pulling the trigger, but the modifier was still ignored, so it's not a SteamInput issue.

Has anyone gotten this to work on the Steam Deck?
