Arise: A Simple Story

Presi300, do games w [Spoiler Warning: Baldurs Gate 3] Karlach romance
@Presi300@lemmy.world avatar

Karlach’s probably my favorite character so far in the game… Not only in personality and… Assets. But she has also carried my ass through every combat encounter I’ve had her in so far… Too bad (SPOILERS for a thing in act1)

!When I killed kagha, the other druids killed dammon, so idk how to progress her storyline now!<

Viking_Hippie,

DEFINITELY my favourite too!

And yeah,

spoilerI’m pretty sure you can’t progress her quest without Dammon, so you’ll have to load an earlier save (if you have one) and do your best to protect him or talk down Kagha so there’s one less shadow druid to fight

@Presi300@lemmy.world avatar

I do have a save… 6 hours ago

Man, if only there was a scroll that can revive people, wouldn’t that be a craaazy idea

Viking_Hippie,

There is, but you have to convince people to follow you around like lost puppies before you get to decide whether they live or die. D&D logic 😂

Presi300,
@Presi300@lemmy.world avatar

I don’t really know D&D rules… As I’ve never played D&D before, but it did feel kinda strange to be holding a scroll that can revive people an be to not be able to use it… To revive people

Viking_Hippie,

Yeah, it’s very close to completely arbitrary, I agree…

Presi300,
@Presi300@lemmy.world avatar

Btw, do you happen too know what the fck I need to do to help Gale? Like, he vaguely mentions what happened to him and this Mythra and their whole backstory together, but I have no clue where I need to go…

Viking_Hippie,

You mean how to

::: spoiler Complete the main quest without blowing him up? :::

If so, I dunno. Haven’t gotten that far yet. Until then, he’ll ask you for exactly what he needs once he has a high enough opinion of you, which SHOULD be pretty early 🤷

goobermembson,

Did you find Elminster in the mountain pass during act 1?

Presi300, (edited )
@Presi300@lemmy.world avatar

No, I decided to go through the underground before I go through the pass (I haven’t gone through the mountain pass yet)

fushuan,

It’s not DnD logic, you can revivify a mosnter if you want to, although it only works if they died a minute ago max, and you can use another spell to make that last longer. Also, revivify costs diamond dust. It’s BG3 logic.

exu, do piracy w Trying to download/export, and convert 1000ish kindle books to get out of amzns ecosystem

Have a look at DeDRM Tools.

A guide can be found on the old repo

Make sure to use an older Kindle for PC version. I think I have 1.26. With that version you also need the KFX input plugin.

With the plugins installed, you should be able to drag the files you downloaded with Kindle into Calibre and have it detect them.
The next step is conversion. Be very careful here, Calibre likes to fuck with images. You’ll probably want EPUB as the target format.
Set the target device to Tablet, or your images get resized.
Also disable the title image resizing in the last register.
I’d recommend you set these setting as default, so you don’t forget changing them.

CrabAndBroom,

If it’s for a Kobo, there’s also the KEPUB format which adds extra tweaks and features, that Calibre also has a plugin for.

Outer Wilds has a lot of beautiful things to look at, whether it’s a planet or moon soaring overhead impossibly close, or something more cosmically spectacular. The music and sound design enhances the experience a lot too.

rambos, do piracy w IPTV Setup Guide?

After you find a good provider, check out android app TiviMate. Its not free, but its amazing. Its made for android TV and it cost 11€ a year or 35€ lifetime iirc

Fantomas,

Where to find good providers tho?

rambos,

Honestly, I was never looking for one, but friend of mine suggested me some local guy. He moved to another providers but Im using the same one for years. Friend told me my guy is bad, but its not for channels I need (I guess lol). Anyway he is finding new providers on forums by direct messages, but also on some random google search or reddit/lemmy recommendations for example. Anything is safe to try afaik, you usually get free trial for 3-7 days. Its best to test when its time for some super popular foodball match or something like that

My recommendation list is going to be a wild mix of different styles. Basically aynthing in my Games Library that I find visually appealing…

  • Gibbous - A Cthulu Adventure: While it isn’t my favourite point&click (that price goes to the Deponia Trilogy), it’s by far the most beautiful I’ve played up to now. The attention the devs paid to detail is astounding. The animations are perfect. In other words: A work of art.
  • Euro Truck Simulator 2: I might be an exception here, but to me the main selling point of this game is the scenery, not the trucks.
  • Elite: Dangerous: Most of the times this game looks utterly boring. Sometimes however, you catch an exceptional sight. Here’s a screenshot of an eclipse in a binary system, as seen from an icy moon of a gas giant (behind which the primary star is hidden).
  • Space Engine: Same argument as for Elite. Most of the stuff is boring. Sometimes you find an exceptional sight. Also, Space Engine isn’t really a game, but rather a “beautiful picture generator”, as there is no real gameplay as of yet.
  • Dwarf Fortress in ASCII mode: The ASCII “graphics” are a work of art on their own. Especially the animations. And the best part: The ASCII version can be downloaded for free, while the (imho less beautiful) graphical version costs money.
  • Pyre: A mix of Visual Novel and Sports Game. The backgrounds and characters are beautifully drawn.
  • Beat Hazard: The colours of the effects are stunning.
CylustheVirus,

Love that shot from Elite, nice work.

@soulsource@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Thanks! I caught it more or less by chance though. I was just scanning all moons in the system, and thought that landing would be a nice break from the scanning routine. And then this happened. It looked even better a few moments before, when the sun that’s visible in the shot was still partially occluded by the gas giant. Took me too long to fire up camera mode to catch that though…

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

The only thing I have been satisfied with is Baldur’s Gate 3 and I lost interest before I completed Act 3. I’m so immensely fucking pissed off with Armored Core 6 right now that I’m considering uninstalling.
It’s not that it’s bad. It’s actually a really well-made game. But it’s fucking FromSoft, and it’s their “games aren’t shit unless they’re infuriatingly hard” bullshit they’ve always been on.
I don’t know what I was expecting. I beat Elden Ring and the bosses weren’t on this level of nonsense.
And with the news that S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 just got pushed back AGAIN, I’m not having a good year in gaming, no.
I need Starfield to be good or I walk away from gaming altogether until next year. It’s getting to be not worth it anymore to me.

DogMuffins, do piracy w Having a hard time settling on a VPN

My recommendation would be to give up on the port forwarding.

If maintaining a ratio is important to you then just rent a seedbox once in a while. 1 month with a seedbox gives me enough upload credit to last me several years.

Thereafter I just download torrents, I may be unconnectable but no big deal.

DonnieDarkmode,

Does it not impact downloading? I thought the lack of port forwarding on my VPN was what was causing me to not connect to seeders even though qBittorrent shows them

DogMuffins,

No.

My (possibly mistaken) understanding is that during the download phase your client is contacting seeds requesting parts. Although the data is going to be incoming it’s still an outbound connection because your client initiated it, so you don’t need to be connectable for that.

It’s the seeding phase which is problematic because downloaders can’t contact you to request parts. That said your client will still contact downloaders and offer parts, which again is an outbound connection so you don’t need to be contactable.

In summary download speeds are uneffected, but seeding rates will be diminished. With most private trackers you can still satisfy seeding requirements just by keeping the torrent available for however long.

As an aside I use mullvad & wireguard. I’ve found wireguard dramatically easier to configure, particularly in a docker environment.

DonnieDarkmode,

I’m not on any private trackers. I’d be interested, but not until I have a more dedicated setup; I’m still very much a casual torrenter.

It’s good news then if port forwarding won’t affect my downloads, because that was the only reason I wanted it, but I saw others online say that lacking that feature is what was causing me not to connect to peers shown in my torrent client. Any idea what’s up with that?

DogMuffins,

Any idea what’s up with that?

Not really. Either my explanation is wrong or theirs is. Honestly could be either.

There’s so much misunderstanding and misinformation around torrenting.

All I know is that I’ve never had any problems downloading without being connectable. Never ever. It’s just not an issue.

Additionally, the vast majority of people torrenting in 2023 are using a vpn and none (very few) of them will forward ports so it can’t be a big deal.

Thirdly, there’s a lot of piracy purists / elitists who just can’t abide the idea that your set up may not have the best possible configuration for seeding. IMO, seeding on a residential connection is just a waste of time - download on a residential connection, seed on a VPS / seedbox.

jodie, do piracy w IPTV Setup Guide?

You can give ATVIPTV a try since they offer a three-day free trial. I'm currently using this IPTV service on my Firestick and haven't experienced any buffering or delays. It offers a wide range of content from over 26 countries, including various types of updates such as sports events, football, boxing, entertainment, movies, and more. They provide a free trial for testing, so I hope this information is helpful to you.

Fantomas,

.shop or .top tho?

jodie,

jodie, do piracy w To those who use IPTV services, why?

I did the same thing at first. However, many times those free websites are very unstable, especially when I was in the middle of watching something exciting. It's quite frustrating and makes you question life. On top of that, the constant ads were annoying. Later on, I went searching for a reliable IPTV service. Besides spending some money each month, I no longer had to deal with that annoyance.

Sons Of The Forest is surprisingly detailed, but you don’t have much time to take in the sights and the foliage when there’s cannibals chasing you through the woods.

apotheotic, do gaming w Beautiful games?

I think if you enjoyed the beauty in Hyper Light Drifter, then you will be entranced by Tunic. Bonus points for being one of the best puzzle exploration games of all time.

Spiritfarer is very, very pretty as well. It is dripping it atmosphere and I often found myself just afk breathing it all in.

AbelianGrape,

Not only is tunic beautiful; the experience is amazing. It’s even better if you try to solve the main optional puzzle as you go.

Definitely agree that it’s one of the best.

Taako_Tuesday,

Tunic is an amazing experience, I filled multiple pages of a notebook trying to figure out the puzzles, I wish I had more games that made me do that

Smoked_Brie, do gaming w [PS4] What are some other games with both social and other gameplay, ala Persona and Stardew Valley?

Wylde Flowers on Apple Arcade! I believe it also just came to Switch as well. Similar to Stardew Valley, but with a little more magic and voice acting. :)
