nogooduser, do games w Baldurs Gate 3 - spoilers

I had a terrible first play through.

Tap for spoilerI lost Gale to the rift because I didn’t understand the DnD mechanics and chose the strength option on a rogue. I chose the Druid over the Dark Elf and then failed to find the quest starter for the blight thing. I lost Laezel (sp?) to the zombie girl.

ragingHungryPanda,

oh that’s rough. it took me a lot of learning for that stuff too. I missed Gale because the game said the portal was unstable and have me the option to use it, so I looked around and couldn’t find anything portal related and then it disappeared

Oh darn, I guess you’re going to have to start over :) . Changing class (even subclass) makes the game very replayable and as you’ve noticed, it’s easy to miss things on your first play-through.

ragingHungryPanda,

yeah this run I’m doing druid, which I never played. Id like to try an old ranger/fighter build I did once

who, do games w Baldurs Gate 3 - spoilers

So what you’re telling us is that you’ll still have new things to experience in your next play-through. :)

ragingHungryPanda,

exactly!

rozodru, do games w What personal dramas have you witnessed with/among your fellow players while gaming?
@rozodru@pie.andmc.ca avatar

I play EVE Online soooooo this happens daily? multiple times a day?

The political dramas in that game could put actual real world political drama to shame. I mean take what’s currently happening in game right now. A massive alliance named Pandemic Horde decided to evacuate the space they held. fair enough, the issue? Leadership made the announcement they were leaving said space and then…leadership quit. in the same message. Thus all the regular members, literally hundreds of them if not well over 1000, were left on their own in hostile space with all their assets stuck in stations that were now actively being shot at and destroyed by opposing alliances. The players are essentially stuck because all the upper leadership of Pandemic Horde have the massive capital ships that they could have used to save their members by getting them out of system or aiding in destroying the attackers but they said nope, we’re not going to do that. It’s a cluster fuck.

LORDSMEGMA,

Holy shit that’s big. I haven’t followed up on the Eve shenanigans since I left reddit

oh yeah it’s huge. As of right now Pandemic Horde have lost over 16,000 characters that have quit the alliance. they’re pretty much done. End of an era.

llamapocalypse,

As a wormholer, watching it unfold from afar has been kinda hilarious

stealth_cookies, do games w Gamepad for Linux Gaming?

Xbox controllers can be a bit unreliable on Linux in my experience. I’ve got an 8BitDo Ultimate 2C wireless that I quite like. They are way cheaper than an Xbox controller, have hall effect joysticks, and low measured latency.

Acidbath,

i recently purchased a 8bitdo controller and just want to mention that although it’s an amazing controller, I did have trouble getting the software to work in order to rebind buttons. just a heads up!

Other than that, great controller, feels nice, most of them are cheaper than official xbox or ps controller, happy with my purchase

prettybunnys, do astronomy w I made a custom TRMNL plugin to tell me whether it’s worth taking the telescope up!

trmnl device looks perfect for my use case ( on the wall output of my greenhouse sensor data ), how do you find the plugin writng?

Is the 20$ developer edition upgrade required?

Would love to know your experience

TheFunkyMonk,

I’m honestly not sure if the developer edition is required to make custom plugins, I got the Clarity Kit upgrade for the battery upgrade, which apparently also includes the developer edition. Probably worth reaching out to them for clarification.

As for my experience, their web UI for making private plugins basically lets you provide an API endpoint for data and an interface to paste in templates (using Liquid templating). So all of my logic is completely outside of the TRMNL system in a custom API I mostly vibe coded and am hosting on a cheap server, which effectively gave me infinite freedom to build whatever I wanted and just have TRMNL handle the UI. So you could really use whatever language you prefer and just return JSON to the TRMNL. Since the logic was decoupled, I also threw together a web version using the same API.

Here’s the API code if you’re curious!

Logitech’s F310 and F710 still holds up today(and they’re pretty cheap)

jjjalljs, (edited )

I think that’s the one I have. They don’t make them like they used to. The Logitech controller I had in like 2008 lasted for ten years. The new one’s right shoulder button stopped working after like two.

The good news is they honored their warranty and sent me a new one for free.

But then the left joystick stopped going all the way up+left.

But then honored the warranty again! That one is still kicking.

So the lesson is: keep your receipt if you buy Logitech.

Edit: it works fine on Linux (pop!_os) too.

darkreader2636,

Yup mine works like a charm in debian 12 if it’s in the XInput mode

ComfortableRaspberry, do games w Winter burrow SBI controversy
@ComfortableRaspberry@feddit.org avatar

Your post made me look and boy are they butt hurt :D

I read through a few threads and what’s pretty telling it’s that they can’t name a specific thing that’s bad with the game and SBIs fault. It’s always “look it up”, “you can Google it”, “how come your haven’t heard yet?” but nothing substantial.

If you liked the demo, I’d go for the game. Have to admit it didn’t look half bad to me either, so I wishlisted it. Maybe let the community here know what you think about it, after a few more hours of playtime and if you found any shoehorned diversity.

Isolde,

Hahaha that’s priceless. I thought they were just wrong and loud, but I also don’t really pay attention to stuff like that. I more so didn’t want to give money to actually awful people (EA’s soon to be owners) and that would be the only thing that would stop me from getting it.

I’ll let you know, but playing through the demo I feel like it’s going to be a really good game.

This looks great!

JeeBaiChow, do astronomy w I made a custom TRMNL plugin to tell me whether it’s worth taking the telescope up!

Nice! Which model of eink display is that?

TheFunkyMonk,

It’s the TRMNL. I plan to share my plugin eventually too, but need to develop a few different layouts for different display options before I can submit it, so it’s just a private plugin for now.

JeeBaiChow,

Ah ok. I wasn’t aware it was a product - my bad! Looking for a good eink display for a project lol.

Never heard of it but poking around their website it looks interesting; how do you like it?

TheFunkyMonk,

I like it a lot! As a software developer that stares at LCD screens all work day, I’m really into e-ink/single-purpose tech outside of work. I found their UI framework docs for custom plugins a bit lacking, but eventually got everything working.

This works something like that: www.timeanddate.com/astronomy/night/

TheFunkyMonk,

Nice! I used the Astronomy API for planet positions and the 7Timer API for astronomy weather conditions, I wonder if they’re using those as well.

TimeAndDate has a lotta money. Really cool that you rolled your own appliance!

Me: pencils in SM64

Teacher: “I have nothing left to teach you.“

NewNewAugustEast,

That funny. I love smb3 and smw. My girlfriend and I beat them both doing every thing loved them. And SMB 2 and yoshis island.

Then we tried Mario 64 when it came out. So boring we quit. Hated the design, the repetitiveness, the movement, the sound, Mario as well.

That was the end of Mario as far as we were concerned.

I find it strange to this day that it is so well liked.

SMB3, it’s simpler.

TheTetrapod,

I can never remember how to hold stuff in World.

Soggy,

You hold the “run” button, exactly the same as in 3.

TheTetrapod,

You can hold stuff in 3?!

king_comrade,

Have you played/finished the games?

Hast thou considered: while holding an item, hold up on the D-pad, then release B, then jump up in front of a climbable surface like a vine or a fence and hold B in time to catch the item. Now you’re climbing with the item.
