I can't think of any wireless sticks off the top of my head other than 8Bitdo's offering. They're generally not legal at tournaments.

Personally, I like just about anything from Hori. I like their Fighting Edge stick a great deal. It doesn't seem to be in production anymore, unfortunately. I've since modified mine pretty extensively but I liked it a lot right out of the box.

I have a Qanba Obsidian that I use whenever I play games on my computer. Again, it's out of production but Qanba now offers the Obsidian 2.

They're two of my favorite sticks and I own a lot.

SteleTrovilo,

Thank you! I hadn’t heard of Qanba before - they definitely have some interesting joysticks.

HovringSquidworld97A,

The 8BitDo stick has been pleasant to use, and is compatible with a ton of systems. Why is it banned at tournaments? Wireless? Or something else non-standard about it?

Wireless. While players should be unpairing any controllers prior to their matches, sometimes they don't and a third party can wirelessly interfere (intentionally or not) with a match.

HovringSquidworld97A,

That makes sense, thanks!

smegger, do piracy w Newbie who wants to get into Uploading, but it confused about everything around video encoding

For the file name it contains the basic information about the file.

Batman begins =title

2005 = release year of the movie

1080p = video resolution

BluRay =source

The rest is encoding and video/audio information about the file

Framestor =release group name

It’s been forever since I last ripped a video, but I remember videohelp.com being a decent source of information

Normies. Normies fear the grid. It reminds them of chess and checkers and snakes and ladders. Games that they suck at.

I think 2023 has officially become the 21st century’s year of the RPG. Any flavor you want, 2023 has got it.

I’ve had my eye on this one and am very pleased to see it score so well.

OP you can check the hardware used at tournaments, by the way. Sorry I don’t have the answer. Bump.

Working fine on my end - sounds like ISP filtering or possibly a firewall setting. With an ad blocker to handle popups, you could also try g o k u dot s x - not quite the same server collection, but you might find what you're looking for.

open_door,

That was it, yeah. Thank you.

HidingCat, do gaming w Sea of Stars (2023) review thread

Eh, another pixel art RPG. Yet another nostalgia/tribute title?

ReadyUser30,

A few of the reviews pick up on this and say its actually not just a tribute to them, but builds on and improves this kind of genre RPG.

HidingCat,

Might be neat then!

Game looks so good. Really want to try this out!

JJROKCZ, do games w Why do modern strategy games hate the grid?

I do not miss the grid at all, I hate being conformed to grids instead of more fluid real movement. It’s just more immersive to order my troops to move as a real person could move, not slide on a rail and stand there in this open space like a chess piece

bighi,

Your comment doesn’t make sense. There’s no relation between a grid and standing out in the open. With free movement, if you order the character to finish their movement in the open, they’re going to be out in the open.

And I also don’t see the relation between grids and “sliding”.

Lazylazycat,

Yeah, I’m pretty sure in X-com there wasn’t any sliding? It was all very fluid movement, but you could easily see where you troops could move to.

nevemsenki,

Jagged Alliance 3 has grid, but the movements are more fluid than I’ve seen in a while. It’s all about polish and execution.

Oh I mean I never thought of it. I kinda like a grid. But I think that a grid would severely limit bg3

ryven, do games w Why do modern strategy games hate the grid?
@ryven@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

It’s not the lack of a grid specifically that bothers me in BG3, it’s that there are a lot of scenarios where in tabletop an enemy would be ruled to have cover, but in BG3 the shot is simply obstructed and your character needs to move before they can take it.

Also sometimes the automatic positioning for melee attacks is bad and will tell you that you can’t reach, but if you click to move and then click to attack you actually can.

Also the fact that AoE spells target the ground specifically instead of an arbitrary point in space, which means in some areas you get weird situations where the enemies are close enough together to fireball all of them but you can’t do it from your location because the spot where you need to place the fireball is in a slight depression that you can’t see into from where you are.

Also there is some weirdness about casting AoEs through doorways, where even if you can see someone that doesn’t mean you can fireball them because it’s treating the fireball “projectile” as being wider than I would expect, so that it can only go through at certain angles.

I do think a grid system would be less likely to have these issues, but they could be fixed without it.

It’s a bit of work to set up, but plex/sonarr/radarr/jacket/bazaarr/overseerr/qbitorrent+openvpn is the way to go
