whelk, do gaming w After playing DCSS for two years I finally beat it
@whelk@retrolemmy.com avatar

Well done, my only win was years ago with a Gargoyle Fighter of the Shining One, went all in on shield blocking and armor, no evade. I was told this is a terrible strategy but I don’t know, it’s my only win in many years of playing so it can’t be that bad.

God powers are a lot of fun. It does take a minute to get past the piety hoarding mindset but hey, if you don’t use your powers when they’re useful then you’re more likely to die, and dead means zero piety

catfeeder,

I ran most of the game with a ring of evasion on, and my stats show that I dodged almost 3000 points of damage, so I’d say getting some EV is optimal even for dwarves and gargoyles with their low dodging apt.

With that said, in crawl clever play can mitigate many “sub-optimal” decisions and builds which I really love! I’m 100% sure I made several mistakes for this build too. Another roguelike like TOME is much less friendly to sub-optimal builds (at least in my experience).

The main reason I tend to not use gods’ abilities is just that there’s so much you can do in dcss that I sometimes just forget about what I can do. I’m way too fast in my decision making lol

Ephera,

I believe, rings of evasion are generally quite good for tanks, because you can be running around in the clunkiest armor and still get a flat +6 or so to evasion. Same goes for mages and rogues with rings of protection.

But yeah, I’ve also killed so many characters due to hasty decision-making. Just killed an Armataur + Wu Jian run today, because my health was running low and I figured offense is the best defense. I could’ve blinked away no problem. Hell, I could’ve launched a much better offense at practically no cost by using Serpent’s Lash, but nope, just ended up tapping the keys I always tap and hoping for RNGesus to save me.

I feel this. Splatted a lot of characters because I didn’t decided to just keep hitting/walking away when the situation requires a much more involved solution. At least I die with lots of consumables in my pocket :)

That is dope as shit. I love both Ace Combat (Shattered Skies especially! Woooo!) and Macross, this is such a cool simpit.

edit: took a look at the WIP pics on Hackaday, very cool.

Absolutely badass!

This may go without saying, but if you’re enjoying starbound you’ll probably have more fun with terraria. For years I wanted starbound to be a spiritual successor and generally better game, but it simply isn’t.

@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

I 100% terraria when i was younger (or, well, got all the achievements and beat all the bosses) and it kind of burnt me out on terraria. I have always wanted to do another playthrough but it really took it out of me and i can’t find the motivation to sit down and play through it all again

You can run Moonlight on your Steam Link and stream anything you want. I haven’t used it in awhile, but I remember it being less laggy than streaming through Steam.

If you just discovered Steam Link and you’re not married to it, you could use Sunshine as your gamestreaming host and Moonlight as the client. you can set it up so that you can launch Steam Big Picture on your host and play any games that are listed under your steam, even if they are non-steam games.

TheRealKuni,

Try Apollo in place of Sunshine, it was recommended to me as having more options. (I don’t actually know though, I never used Sunshine.)

sonofearth,

Apparently the dev got banned. The reason is unclear and I would love to understand the other side but this is on their Github.

I got kicked from Moonlight and Sunshine’s Discord server and banned from Sunshine’s GitHub repo literally for helping people out. This is what I got for finding a bug, opened an issue, getting no response, troubleshoot myself, fixed the issue myself, shared it by PR to the main repo hoping my efforts can help someone else during the maintenance gap.

TheRealKuni,

Turns out the major difference is the thing I use most: virtual display in headless mode.

When I connect as a virtual display, I have Apollo set to treat the new virtual display (whose resolution is set by Moonlight’s settings, so I can control it on the client end). Headless mode means all apps open in the virtual display, so I never need to go to the PC itself. And finally, in the advanced settings I have it set up so the virtual display is treated as the only display, so existing applications move to the virtual display (in case I already had Steam or Battle.net or whatever open).

jwiggler,
@jwiggler@sh.itjust.works avatar

So I’ve been seeing some discussion online about how Apollo has solved some user’s problems with virtual display

Do you mind me asking what you’re running? I’m on Ubuntu 25.10 w/ Plasma 6.4 running wayland, and I’ve had issues forever setting up a virtual display. I’ve just accepted that I have to go with whatever modes the edid my monitor/dummy hdmi plug offers, which means I havent been able to stream 1260x800 or 2560x1600 to my steamdeck (so it is black-barred)

I guess Plasma 6.6 is going to add the ability to add custom modes via kscreen-doctor, but thats at least a few months out I think. I’d much rather use a native virtual display if apollo is magically able to do that.

TheRealKuni,

Oh I’m still a Windows user, haven’t yet migrated over (though I do have a Nobara install I’ve played with a bit, I haven’t tried to get Apollo working on it). I stream 2560x1440 and just ignore the black bars, but I could request 2560x1600 and I think it would work just fine (I prefer the higher resolution for higher quality, rather than the native 1280x800, though I can confirm that requesting 1280x800 works when my bandwidth is limited).

That setting is handled within Moonlight, and Apollo respects that setting by default, so Apollo presents itself as a virtual display with the resolution requested by Moonlight. At least that’s my understanding.

sonofearth,

Thanks I will look into it. I didn’t know stuff like this even existed lol.

Are the games launching via xwayland when they’re not working? Are they displaying normally on your desktop monitor, but just not streaming correctly?

When I started planning my event, I didn’t know where to begin — until I found More information on. This platform made everything feel more manageable and inspiring. The site is easy to navigate, with beautiful vendor profiles that include real work examples and helpful descriptions. I quickly found professionals whose style matched my vision, and the communication process was smooth and professional. Instead of feeling overwhelmed by choices, I felt organized and confident. Wezoree truly simplifies event planning and helps you make smart decisions with clarity and peace of mind.

Undertale is one of the top games for a hit to the feels.

@lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world avatar

Never got around to playing Undertale.

On HowLongToBeat I see that completing the main story takes 7 hours, but 100%ing takes 20.

What do the remaining 13 hours comprise of? Is it more dialogue? Collectables? Alternative endings?

pogodem0n,

I played it a few years ago, so I don’t remember if it had an in-game percentage counter.

Without spoiling much: the game has multiple very distinct endings and depending on your playstyle may require multiple playthroughs.

I can say that it is one the best RPGs I have ever played. Nearly every single choice you make has a very noticeable impact on the world.

and depending on your playstyle may require multiple playthroughs

I’m not too deep into undertale, since I only played it casually once, but aren’t there at least 2 endings that would require you to start completely over from the beginning? Meaning it would be literally impossible to get all endings without multiple playthroughs?

pogodem0n,

Yeah, I deliberately wrote it like that trying to be vague. Don’t know if it was a good idea though. 😅

SlurpingPus,

YouTube playthroughs indicate that there are at least four ways to play the game.

orenj,

You could get two endings in one playthrough if you either chose to play a certain way, or had foreknowledge of one of either of the two extreme ending’s requirements.

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

I’d have to guess it’s alternate endings and side content, it’s been a while since i’ve seen a playthrough of the game though so i may be wrong

I just played this game for the first time a week ago. I liked it so much I immediately ran through it again as a pacifist. I’m a sucker for a well fleshed out story and world. The quirky humor also landed more often than not and the emotions hit pretty hard. I look forward to playing Deltarune sometime soon.

Same. I’m bored and looking for friends to chat. I dunno how I’d go setting that up though. I was just planning on the single bus with SF lol

I guess I can just make one lol discord.gg/Y9vTdUrN
