Coelacanth, do games w [Spoiler Warning: Baldurs Gate 3] Karlach romance
@Coelacanth@feddit.nu avatar

I would have been interested in seeing it but my save was completely hardlocked out of it. In contrast to basically every other character she never ever came on to me (middle of Act 3 currently).

I must have done something in the wrong order, I’ve heard others have had trouble with it as well.

VikingHippie,

Yeah, I was at the beginning of Act 3 when I realised that I had irrevocably missed out on it. I had to start a new game from scratch and follow a guide, but it was absolutely worth it!

The romances could do with a bit of an overhaul, in my opinion. Feels like several of them have weird pacing, and so many characters go from 0-100 in the blink of an eye. You say a single affirmation to Halsin and he acts like he’s been in love with you his whole life and you’re soulmates. Dude, I just offered you a drink at a celebration out of common courtesy.

With every other NPC being so horny it’s actually been refreshing to have Karlach just behave like a buddy in my playthrough, but in general for the Karlach romance to be so fiddly you need to follow a guide to not lock yourself out of it just sounds… poorly implemented.

VikingHippie,

Yeah it’s fiddly for sure, but the payoff is more than worth the bother IMO 🤷

My first playthrough was the same thing, but I think it’s because I picked her up so late in Act 1. I have no actual data but I think that if you don’t have a certain level of approval with her when you

spoiler about Karlach's side questhave her heart tuned the first time

you miss out on romancing her for the rest of the game. For my playthrough, I basically picked her up, and started progressing through her quest immediately, and already that the item needed to finish her act 1 storyline; I think that’s what locked me out. Again, I’m just speculating, though.

Coelacanth,
@Coelacanth@feddit.nu avatar

That would explain it, though not make it any less poorly designed. I also picked her up just at the very end of Act 1 and already had plenty of the item needed.

MimicJar,

I have a similar lockout problem.

During a camp scene both Gale and Karlach (and Shadowheart) offered to spend the evening with me.

I spoke with Gale first (at random) and his spend the evening was just “show some magic” which I didn’t realize was code. Karlach made no mention of Gale but did a fist pump when I agreed. When I finally spoke with Shadowheart she mentioned that I already had plans (unless?).

Then the Gale romance scene happened and Karlach never brought it up again. Nearly everyone else in the camp gave me a romance option and Karlach and I had a nice moment after fixing her heart the second time, but I think it’s just broken.

Additionally Shadowheart has always had the romance option since it first appeared. I skipped it since we’re just homies, but I think Karlach is locked out for me.

fushuan,

if that nice moment with her was both seated talking, then that’s the first scene. One thing you can do with followers once their approval is high enough, is to go back to act 1 and spam partial long rests to trigger the remaining act 1 scenes. Then go to act 2 and do the same to see if new ones pop up.

000999, do piracy w New tracker after rarbg that works?

I recommend rutracker. It’s great for BD rips of movies and TV shows. The majority of files have the original English audio + Russian dubs. Quite a lot of hard to find stuff and almost always has seeds.

Just realized you asked for plugin tracker, idk what that is

pelikan,

He asked about trackers which have search plugin for qbittorrent and your answer fits well as rutracker has even two different plugins ready.

You’re going from a source of an encoded x264 and reencoding (the already encoded file) as x265?? What are the results like?

Most people encode from a high quality source like a remux, rather than an encode

heartlessevil,

Yeah, a lot of private travelers will not accept doubly-lossy encoded files as a rule. So you can’t just go from 264 to 265. You need the original lossless file.

To OP, yeah, you want a seed box. Both to pin the file up and host it for a while, and to preserve your anonymity (the original seeder is under particular scrutiny.)

rah,

a lot of private travelers

What’s a “private traveler” out of interest?

HeneryHawk,

It’s a typo, supposed to say “private tracker”

heartlessevil,

Auto correct typo of private tracker. Sorry.

rah,

Ah I see, thanks for clarifying.

pastermil,

Looks good to me… I’d be happy to take some feedback tho

HeneryHawk,

It will depend a lot on hardware and/or software but I’d bet users would see some artefacting, ghosting, and general noise when they play your x265 file

As another comment pointed out, an encode of an encode is banned on a lot of trackers… Or at least an encode of an already pretty lossy encode (x264) won’t be allowed

Does the filesize change much?

pastermil,

I was able to shrink down the whole thing from about 120GB to 90GB

Upload it to private and public trackers, get a cheap seedbox to seed them for a long while

Thanks for the suggestion!

Underwaterbob, do gaming w Shoddy PC ports aside, 2023 has already been an amazing year for gaming.

I’ll say! I finally got around to Elden Ring, and it’s everything I could have hoped for in an open-world Souls game. It lives up to the hype for sure.

FuckyWucky, do piracy w Finding mainstream media on usenet - am I doing it wrong?

Get a tweaknews block account. From what I know they use NTD instead of DMCA and may have the missing blocks.

For indexers I’ve found nzb.su to be pretty good.

omalaul,

Thank you for the advice!

thisusernameistaken,

if the post is from 2 years ago ntd or dmca is not going to make a difference. it will be long gone regardless.

FuckyWucky,

Not sure. I’ve seen better success rates with Eweka+NewsDemon than NewsDemon/Eweka alone. Maybe different blocks are being deleted?

cadellin, do gaming w Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of August 20th

I’ve been playing Subnautica Below Zero. Loved the first game and I’ve been meaning to try the second for ages. Nice and relaxing expect when it isn’t.

MrNobody, do piracy w Finding mainstream media on usenet - am I doing it wrong?

It’s recommended to have two providers, one for monthly and one block account, on two seperate backbones. I think /r/piracy or /r/Usenet has a list, and as whirlybird mentioned just add the show to sonarr and it’ll eventually grab it.

If you don’t have any *are suite I highly recommend getting that set up. Sonarr for tv shows, radarr for movies. It’s all set and forget, just add the content you are after and the *are does the rest. You just add your indexer(s), add the provider(s) and you’re sorted.

omalaul,

Thank you for the advice! I do have sonarr running but some stuff just keeps not turning up

Whirlybird, do piracy w Finding mainstream media on usenet - am I doing it wrong?

Recent stuff from big networks is more likely to get DMCA’d regularly than older stuff. As long as you add it in to sonarr you should get it eventually, but yeh unless you get it at release it can be a bit tough sometimes.

omalaul,

Thank you for the advice! I shall be patient haha

Sharpiemarker,

Exactly. OP, whatever you’re thinking of doing is an incredibly bad idea and very illegal.

nothacking, do piracy w ChatGPT API Piracy

Check out OpenAssistant, a free to use and open source LLM based assistant. You can even run it locally so no one else can see what your doing.

Ganbat,

I have an R9 380 that I’m never going to be able to replace. Local isn’t really an option.

theangriestbird,

My experience is with gpt4all (which also runs locally), but I believe the GPU doesn’t matter because you aren’t training the model yourself. You download a trained model and run it locally. The only cap they warn you about is RAM - you’ll want to run at least 16gb of RAM, and even then you might want to stick to a lighter model.

Ganbat,

No, LLM text generation is generally done on GPU, as that’s rhe only way to get any reasonable speed. That’s why there’s a specifically-made Pyg model for running on CPU. That said, one generation can take anywhere from five to twenty minutes on CPU. It’s moot anyway as I only have 8GB ram.

theangriestbird,

I’m just telling you, it ran fine on my laptop with no discrete GPU 🤷 RAM seemed to be the only limiting factor. But yeah if you’re stuck with 8GB, it would probably be rough. I mean it’s free, so you could always give it a shot? I think it might just use your page file, which would be slow but might still produce results?
