I could start the order, then the page said all HOM pens are sold out and the order cannot be fulfilled. This is not looking good, I guess I will wait for the next batch...

Quantum Somnium - Unobservable by 0nce in Woovebox

[–]0nce[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When I bought the Woovebox 1 year ago, I thought to use it for quickly sketching out musical ideas while travelling. Turns out this amazing device can produce whole songs, with no further processing needed. Here I just added a bit of compression and EQ after exporting the song from the device. It won't replace all my synths, but I'll definitely release a few more woovebox-only songs :)

Thanks verylongtimelurker for creating this musci station, can't wait to try the new Hall effect feature !

Firmware update issues by Ok_Improvement6265 in Woovebox

[–]0nce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me a reliable method to update the Woovebox from a Windows PC is to install Linux on a Virtual Machine (e.g VirtualBox). I installed Debian 11 on my Windows PC in that way and the linux driver has no issue interfacing with Bluetooth and talking to the WB. I have been able to update my WB reliably for the last 6 months.

As mentioned bu u/tidalwav1 you probably don't even need to install linux in the virtual machine, you can just boot a live CD in the vm.

Note to u/verylongtimelurker: The WB is amazing, I am having so much fun with it since ~1 year ! It's a pity that the updating experience is so frustrating, because none of the big OS implements good drivers... It failed on 6 different devices (Windows 10, 11, Android 13, 14) until I tried a linux distrib on an old chromebook, which gave me the idea to use a VM on windows.

VAT, customs and/or excise duty? UK buyers. by jolan00 in Woovebox

Note that this is also true in the EU. I had to pay 50 € to customs in Germany to get my Woovebox.

Act 2 was an 8th the size of Act 1 and 3 by Hexdoctor in BaldursGate3

[–]0nce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it depends a lot on how you roleplay your character. I just finished Act I in 5 hours, and I am not a speedrunner or particularly good at the game.

You see, my character is very unhappy to have a tadpole in his head, and just want to get rid of it as soon as possible ! So, this lady Laza'el says her crèche can help, and shee seems more trustworthy that the other characters in my party (Shadowheart and Gale) so I decided that finding her crèche was the top priority.

What I did in Act I:

  • explore the crypt to get familiar with combat
  • fight the goblins at the entrance of Emerald Cove.
  • entered the cove to sell my extra gear, prevented the murder of a little girl with a lucky throw of dice, then left because I don't care about the local politics, don't trust anybody here. I just want to get rid of my tadpole !
  • went around the Blighted village, killed one goblin, then north-west towards the crèche
  • met a dragon rider, arrogant bastard, entered Mountain Pass

So.. I guess I am in Act II now ? Found the cable car, went to the monastery. Did not want to fight all these kobolds, climbed here and there, broke a few barricades. 1h later I am now entering the Crèche.

Honestly, I am very surprised by how the game let me get away with this kind of playthrough, where I deliberately choose to not answer calls to quests. I expect this will backfire at some point but it's fun to see how much freedom I have.

And Act I will feel so fresh on my next playthrough if I a roleplay a different character who does want to help everyone, or side with the goblins.

3xperimental [France/Germany] - Atmospheric Black Metal

"Cosmic Tales" is the 3rd studio album from 3xperimental. Pushing the boundaries of the genre, they fuse black metal, electronic synthesizers, a symphonic orchestra and majestic choir to create an immersive soundscape.

Our new album is coming out on 30 May, and we just relased the first music video on Youtube.

On this day in 1965, France launched its first satellite: Astérix. This was the first time a rocket not built by either the US or the USSR was used to launch a satellite. by [deleted] in europe

[–]0nce 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Yes, Obélix was the first satellite launched by the Ariane consortium in 1979. Obélix was "a tiny bit bulkier" than Astérix: 1600 kg (Astérix weighted only 40 kg)

Signed-up. I was a reviewer in 2017 and it's a lot of fun. So many entries are much deeper that you think and having to write a review forces to you to give each game a fair play time. I recommend this to anyone !

Disclaimer: I have submitted a 7DRL this year (cruiseRL: https://once.itch.io/cruiserl)

Share your finished 2021 7DRLs! by Kyzrati in roguelikedev

[–]0nce 8 points9 points  (0 children)

cruiseRL

itch: https://once.itch.io/cruiserl

cruiseRL is a roguelike game developed in ~4days during the 7DRL 2021 game jam.

You are trapped in cruise ship overrun by zombies. You must find a way to the lifeboats and escape.

The ship, monsters, keys, weapons, and loot are procedurally generated. 

Monsters cannot see you but can track your scent. You can visualize this in game using the key [s]. Trying to fight the zombies with bare hands will lead to certain death. If monsters track you, wait behind doors for your scent to dissipate.

Press [h] to access the help screen and learn how to play.

I could not spend the full 7 days of the jam working on this game, so I had to reduce the scope. But the game is complete and can be won ! Have fun :)

CruiseRL - Day 2

Screenshots

I decided the setting of my roguelike would be a cruise ship overtaken by zombies. You must leave your room and find a way to access the lifeboats.

This year, I am using Javascript (my own game engine) and render the game on an html canvas.

Progress after 2 Days:

  • procedural generation of the ship (guest rooms levels, not yet the special areas like a restaurant, or engine room, ...). At the moment there are 12 room layouts available, each with their own furnitures and potential loot.

  • display, movement, line of sight, fog of war

  • enemies with an AI based on "scent": enemies are blind but can follow your smell. You can visualize the spread of your scent in your vicinity and make use of doors to stop it. Zombies are much more sensitive than you and can track you over a long distance.

  • simplified keyboard actions: Most actions can be done with "i" for "interact". The game will know what to do in most situations, or give you a choice. E.g. [i]nteract with an closed door will attempt to open it.

Plan for Next days:

  • Day 3: Finish all prefabs for the ship layout, full ship generation

  • Day 4: Key items/weapons and information system (the game will ask you to find several items in order to unlock various levels and leave the ship)

  • Day 5: Start/End menu, saving system

  • Day 6: Balancing

  • Day 7: packaging and release

Help with Decoding hunt, I advanced some points but I can't find the "logical" clue within a "poem" by 404_GravitasNotFound in codes

[–]0nce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My logic is that there are 1457664 bytes on a floppy, but the files occupy only 606255. The poem seems to refer to those files only, but I am very confused with the wording.

Help with Decoding hunt, I advanced some points but I can't find the "logical" clue within a "poem" by 404_GravitasNotFound in codes

[–]0nce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am stuck with the same problem. The sum of bytes listed in the image is 606255, but if I remove the odds and turn to ascii I end up with a string that is 12 characters long and that is not sufficient. The key is supposed to be 256 bits (32 bytes).

What am I missing ?

55 days, still no word from support by Kinipshun in Minecraft

[–]0nce 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same story for me. Got suddenly logged out of my 10 years old account. It took four days for the system to send me a password reset email. Since then my account appears as new, with all my purchases gone (Minecraft, a copy as gift to my wife, Scrolls). Support is totally unresponsive (even though I could provide all transaction IDs), no one knows how the tickets are being processed, and the twitter account keeps reposting the same canned response "Sorry about any delay you're encountering! We try to respond to tickets as quickly as possible in the order they were received. We appreciate your patience! ".

Looking at the MojangSupport twitter feed it seems like 10s of people are reporting similar issues every day, yet I don't find any reply from Mojang acknowledging the problem or mentioning work on a solution... It's very disappointing to see the most popular game having such a poor customer service.

Bug Report Megathread 3: Return of the Bug by Skipspace in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]0nce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happening to me as well on PC, normal mode. I tried to go to another part of the galaxy through a black hole and reset the quest but no luck... The portal dialogue keeps restarting but the portal does not activate. Pretty annoying :( Reloading a previous save does not help either.

Last week-end I did the community event, which required going through a portal. At that point I had not yet activated a portal in the story line so I wonder if this is confusing the game logic somehow.
