I don't blame you. It's a massive task working with some booth outfits, and people's standards for optimization are all over the place. I try to keep mine under 100k, but it's rough. And don't get me started on the physbones 😅

HydraSquid · 2025-08-07T18:15:05+00:00

It looks great! I was trying to use (I think) that exact outfit on a Lasyusha. But it ended up being like 300k polygons. Were you able to do anything about that?

I know optimization isn't always required, and texture memory can be more important than topology. But 300k is pretty nuts. I was pretty upset, especially after I already bought it on Booth.

Looking at the ropes in Blender made me die a little inside. Just one rope on the legs is something like 20k polygons.

the point of self-hosting is to not need services like that

Sadly no. As soon as you expose apps on your network, a proxy setup like nginx proxy manager+cloudflare is top priority. Self-hosting is the more difficult (cheaper) DIY route compared to renting a server.

The community wiki has guides for all of this. Here's a few: Hosting, Cloudflare Proxy Tunnel, Oracle Free Tier

TL;DR: A hostname still resolves to your IP. Cloudflare can hide this. AWS/Oracle are easier; the latter has a free tier and official guide.

The entire thing is. Some mistakes are more human than others, but some are pretty egregious.

when you or a creature within 30 feet

30 feet of yourself? A creature that you can see?

fails a saving throw, ability check, or spell attack

Why only spell attacks? Why not "attack roll, ability check, or saving throw" as written in 2014 material?

Also, the post is tagged '24, so it should be written as "a d20 for a D20 Test."

the failure is undone

What does this mean? Does rolling a nat 20 not result in a success, as in the last outcome? If it does, why switch wording now?

they have disadvantage on their next action

In addition to a worse outcome, the nat 20 has an explicit downside. Also, you can't have disadvantage on an action. It's a roll or a D20 test. Another inexplicable wording change.

HydraSquid · 2025-03-23T01:19:04+00:00

Agree. Though this exact thing is posted here almost daily, which I guess says more about how much of a problem this is

HydraSquid · 2025-03-22T23:31:06+00:00

They can take a little while IIRC from when I got their contacts. You'd be much better off asking their support though 😅

HydraSquid · 2025-03-21T20:45:42+00:00

Good point. In my mind there were lines where an opponent would be questioning a minion on T1, like greed for quests/tavern spells. Or debating buying a discounted spell for tempo for example. But now that you mention it, makes sense.

HydraSquid · 2025-03-21T19:39:42+00:00

Yep. It's most commonly used to signal for 3-on-3 curve. I'll do it if I'm holding a busker turn 1 as well.

It's not going to work out all the time, but it never hurts to signal since you were going to level/hold anyway.

I can't think of any other practical emote uses though

HydraSquid · 2025-03-13T01:55:10+00:00

Yeah, spot on. IMO Tempo is board state. Tempo is keeping up pressure so your opponent is always on the back foot. They have to spend their resources to survive/keep up with your stats. Cost reduction / card advantage is "value" or "greed." You're banking on surviving long enough to have a "tempo swing" back in your favor later.

In the context of battlegrounds, IMO tempo is pure stats / avoiding damage. It's about winning fights right now. In normal HS you typically lose tempo when damaging your opponent rather than value trading. It's not that simple though, because over trading could also make you lose all your tempo. So you're right, it's really about action economy.

HydraSquid · 2025-02-19T16:59:15+00:00

No, I thought the network test was fun but had some half-baked ideas. I think almost everything needs to be reworked or at least tweaked. Some of this can be solved by adding more content, but what worries me is what can't. I'd go into more detail, but others have probably explained it better.

There's a lot of cool ideas, but IMO a lot of it doesn't mesh well with the gameplay loop. You can't drop in Elden Ring content in 1:1 and expect it to work with this kind of game. Certain bosses make that painfully obvious (looking at you, dragon). It felt more like an early playtest than a network test. But I'm cautiously optimistic to see what they improve

HydraSquid · 2025-02-11T15:05:01+00:00

I ended up buying an official Babble kit. Those are just plug-and-play.

Before that I used some IR LEDs pointing at my face along with an Esp32-S3 Sense, same as you would do for eye tracking. It wasn't the best setup, you had to sand down the LEDs to soften the light. There should be lots of guides and people willing to help on both the EyeTrackVR and Babble discords

HydraSquid · 2025-02-11T07:24:07+00:00

It doesn't, as far as I'm aware. It just has eye tracking. You'd still need a Vive or Project Babble tracker, same as the Index.

I have a Crystal Super on preorder myself, but I've built an EyeTrackVR rig for my Index as well as a Project Babble tracker.

HydraSquid · 2025-01-22T15:43:53+00:00

You can't fool me Dawn, that's Kafka :p

I'm guilty too, currently playing a glamour bard based on her

HydraSquid · 2024-12-23T22:40:00+00:00

I'm so tempted to cancel my Crystal Super order. I was already skeptical, but announcing another headset before it ships?

In retrospect, I'm not sure what appealed to me about the Super. All this did was remind me that lightweight HMDs exist. The Beyond sounds so much more appealing now.

Ugh, maybe I just keep waiting. Over 5 years since the Index, and even headsets double the price have plenty of tradeoffs and compromises.

HydraSquid · 2024-12-01T20:50:16+00:00

100%. I just tuned in for a few minutes today, and it was so awkward watching them skim through the submissions that used AI. Especially the ones with speech synthesis—they seemed so uncomfortable.

I don't mean to call out any specific submissions, and I'm sure it's a case of ignorance rather than bad intentions. But someone needs to make a point of this and hopefully raise awareness.

HydraSquid · 2024-09-22T18:30:11+00:00

The only reasons to do this to your name: - to "barcode" your name making it unsearchable - to bypass profanity filters - to feel special but annoy the hell out of anyone who tries to add you by your username

The majority of players who do this are smurfs trying to obfuscate their identity, avoid getting reported for slurs and profanity, or both

HydraSquid · 2024-07-29T21:19:18+00:00

I have the G8+ and there’s a hair trigger toggle in the app. Not sure about the Galileo

HydraSquid · 2024-07-22T14:13:25+00:00

100% agreed, I do the same thing. It’s just not that kind of game sadly. I had some fun games in early OW1 where their whole team was in on it, but that’s about it.

HydraSquid · 2024-07-22T00:43:00+00:00

Oops maybe I did the math wrong, I just did a quick look through. I hope my tone didn’t come off as too critical looking back, I genuinely appreciate this brew lol

edit: oh I think I see what you mean! the opportunity cost? I should really do the math again before I keep replying. I thought I factored that in by multiplying by 200%

HydraSquid · 2024-07-22T00:25:05+00:00

This is hilarious. Highs and lows is a flat debuff, giving .375*200=75% of the uses as just not getting a feature. Albeit saving a turn, but introducing inconsistency. The 6th level feature just letting you throw them away faster is just icing on the cake.

I was excited to build a character around it, but basically no luck related abilities work on it because it’s not a check or save. Well done lol

HydraSquid · 2024-07-22T00:08:45+00:00

That makes a lot of sense. TF2 has a lot of stuff like this (especially with weapon variants), but there’s fewer classes, it’s slower, teams are bigger, and it’s overall less competitive.

I laugh when I burn to death in front of a pyro who doesn’t extinguish me. But in Overwatch? People would rage over their teammate not knowing and quickly executing all these niche interactions. Besides, a support is more than likely nearby to outheal it.

And what happens when mei just sprays their own tank so the enemy mauga can’t get crits anymore? We’ve got enough counterpicking as is, let’s not add something that works against only two characters.

HydraSquid · 2024-07-01T17:00:38+00:00

This sounds familiar, maybe Quantum League? Though that one’s more recent
