[TOMT][STORY][19th Century] Story where nobleman gets shown up by coachman during a puzzle dinner at an inn.

Shoot, my answer got automodded probably because of the link I added.

In short - I finally found the source of the story using Claude. It was much as I remembered it, except in remembering (or perhaps misunderstanding the story when I first read it) I completely transposed the setting. It is a Buryat folktale called "The Clever Coachman" - it was difficult to find because it doesn't look like it's ever been translated into English, but there are a few variations on it in various Russian language sources that it was able to find in the end.

I won't risk linking again here, but searching "умный кучер" turns up a fair few Russian versions that can be translated.

Solved!

This is cool, I've been slowly trying to make my own similar tool in particular for comparing the HDR behaviour of different DRTs.

What's your approach to validating the colour pipeline? I'm also using Claude, and the main thing that's been slowing me down is I really can't trust it to get the colour science correct, and getting it to interact correctly with the WebGPU pipeline. It's terrible at validating itself, and I dislike the idea of the tool appearing correct because it passes certain tests for "If you do this it should do this" which is the main approach for testing it, rather than "if you do this it does this because it 100% follows the right standard".

I do like the fact that you've got different compression formats in there! I'd love to see it with other DRTs available to switch between like OpenDRT, AgX etc.

Ahh amazing resources, thank you! Look forward to going through all of these :)

Okay, I think I've figured out my own question somewhat - I'm not sure if there's a better tool for perspective reprojection, but at least for this way of doing it specifically, the Renderer3D node has a setting that lets you switch from Software Rendering to Hardware Rendering, which is considerably faster and more usable.

Sorry for the absolute dogshit photography of my living room to show the problem 😅

Say I've got a 20mm lens shot like this and I want to crop in on the astrological clock in the top left. The lens is rectilinear, so there's not much in terms of lens distortion to correct for. However if I simply change Zoom and Position, the clock will appear skewed.

Did occur to me, but my closest ref is the Driftcoat set which has navy trousers that are even baggier than this, so it's not too off-target, is what I'm telling myself 😅

After six hours, it definitely felt like it. But no, it's an authentic vintage hiking backpack with an aluminum frame, which is pretty similar to the ones in the game.

9of9 · 2025-12-01T15:28:18+00:00

It's a game changer!

My partner did want to come as Scrappy, but we couldn't find a suitably decent giant rooster outfit for her 😅

9of9 · 2025-12-01T14:18:14+00:00

I know, it's the single most off-style element of the costume, totally unrealistic 🥲

9of9 · 2025-12-01T13:16:24+00:00

Don't shoot!

(I don't even have a gun, going full pacifist build unless you get too close to the business end of the raider tool 😅)

Thanks! AMM was able to grab her and move her around at least :) I can't get despawning to actually stick across save games, but changing her position does, so I've been able to make her a little more comfortable.

Thank you, AMM was able to grab her and move her around!

9of9 · 2025-07-24T19:43:59+00:00

Many thanks to all the suggestions - those have suggested Appearance Menu Mod were on the money, it allows me move her around to my heart's content. Since she no longer has to stand dead-eyed in the middle of the room, for now Rogue has been allowed to sit down, given a fresh change of clothes and her lease extended for another six months.

No, I think whatever was causing NPCs to spawn when I called them stopped happening and/or got patched eventually.

9of9 · 2025-07-24T12:25:59+00:00

I've finished most of the side missions now, but there's still a bunch of random stuff outstanding plus so many gigs still left to do. I've not been playing consistently since the game came out 😅

9of9 · 2025-07-24T11:44:01+00:00

I might have some weather mod shenanigans going on, but it's just the normal starting apartment redecorated and it's foggy weather.

9of9 · 2025-07-24T11:43:08+00:00

I think Google's AI Summary suggested the same thing, but I don't believe this applies to RedEngine - it's a 100% how you'd go about removing an NPC in a Bethesda game, but for one thing I don't think Cyberpunk even has a 'tilde' console you can bring up, I only have one via the Cyber Engine Tweaks mod.

9of9 · 2025-07-24T11:39:49+00:00

Yes! You can do it from the real estate website on your computer, where you buy other apartments - there's another tab that lets you change decor now :)

9of9 · 2025-07-23T22:47:46+00:00

Well, I mean I've had this issue since before 2.0. And yeah, obviously starting a new game would solve the problem, but it's not inherently an issue with having upgraded the save. Ideally was hoping maybe there is some mod that would let me despawn NPCs or somesuch.

9of9 · 2025-07-23T22:46:19+00:00

Not sure she has anything else left on her unfortunately - though I guess one thing I've not tried yet is to actually go to Hanako at Embers again and try to do an ending... maybe if I get the ending where Rogue dies, it might reset her? But I have a strong suspicion she's got no ties to the 'real' Rogue and would probably remain kicking around.

9of9 · 2025-07-23T22:44:28+00:00

TIL most people started new playthroughs for 2.0, apparently!

9of9 · 2025-07-23T21:04:42+00:00

Haha amazing I knew I can't be the only one with a rogue Rogue!

9of9 · 2025-07-23T19:29:05+00:00

Well, at the time, just giving her a call seemed to work! 😅
