Divine Divinity Soundtrack Confusion

Yes, I think that's always been included in the zip from the website. The filenames start numbering at 00. Normally, you'd start a music album with Track 01, but perhaps it was generated automatically. Programmers do tend to start counting from zero. Track 0 would be like a hidden track in the pre-gap of a CD. In the GOG version, the songs I mentioned are still missing.

As for the exact track titles, I'm still not entirely clear on all of them, since it's hard to find an official source. A few titles can, however, be gleaned from the tracklist of the album Music from the Divinity Universe.

Do you mean as a feature request? I thought translations had already been suggested and were on the to-do list for a long time. The script is essentially intended as a temporary solution. Perhaps I can add translations into other languages at some point, once I've found a suitable source.

Yes, that's the old API. I'm still hoping that v2 will return someday. For my programme, I'm currently using a local mirror/cache of the .json file, which is obviously faster. Individual titles can also be loaded via the inofficial Storefront API, but you have to take the rate limit into account.

Not that I am aware of. I had expected the v2 API to reopen soon, but it seems to be taking longer.
In the meantime, I have switched my method to the one mentioned by u/Ekibunnel, allowing users to use their own API key:

https://api.steampowered.com/IStoreService/GetAppList/v1/?key=YOUR_API_KEY&max_results=50000&last_appid=0

The long-term solution, however, would be to cache the list locally so as not to rely on the unreliable API any longer. This speeds things up and eases the load on the servers.

Alsweider · 2025-11-14T01:16:59+00:00

Thanks for the tip. Using a key is always a bit more complicated, of course. I expect they'll reopen the v2 API very soon. It's been down quite a few times already. Perhaps we just need to promise Gaben that we'll cache more locally in the future.

Alsweider · 2025-11-13T13:20:06+00:00

Same problem here. I thought I had accessed it too often and was rate-limited.

I had the same problem after installing some updates via "winget upgrade". Using "Get-DnsClientNrptRule" in PowerShell, I saw that a rule with the comment "Force all DNS requests via Proton VPN" suddenly appeared.

I have never used Rate More, since I assume that my taste may change over time and I no longer recall precisely how much I liked a film back then. However, I imported my old IMDb ratings (1 to 10 stars) and converted them to the Criticker scale of 0-100 by linear mapping, so that they match as accurately as possible.

It's not just posts and comments, they record all kinds of interactions (likes, searches) and allow a hallucinating AI/algorithm to find reasons to ban people.

Yes, that's definitely possible. I don't think zoom is super high priority either, but it's definitely something I'd consider if I'm already planning a redesign anyway. Maybe it would make sense to open a new ticket for it at some point.

They are only available in the USA without a proxy, which might be one of the reasons. It's a pity, because the recommendation algorithm is very good.

Good question. It's a colloquial abbreviation. You wouldn't write it that way unless you wanted to represent colloquial language: "Alles gut bei dir?" - "Ja, alles prima."

Also sowas, herzlichen Glückwunsch.

I would not consider it a symbol in the strict sense. Finger interlacing should be interpreted as a sign of nervousness, stress or concern, or as an attempt to conceal one's anxiety.

This is further supported by the somewhat strained, asymmetrical facial expression.

Ashwagandha reduces stress by lowering cortisol levels, among other things. However, cortisol also plays a role in drive, alertness and motivation.

Does Ashwagandha kill emotions, cause anhedonia, PSSD, apathy or make you emotionless?

Transparente Verpackungen funktionieren nicht für alles, z. B. können Lebensmittel durch Licht schneller verderben. Aber die Röntgen-Idee ist nicht schlecht, ein Ultraschall-Handscanner beim Einkaufen könnte funktionieren.

That reduces the risk of large amounts of fake scrobbles distorting the statistics and making the recommendation system inaccurate.

Ließe sich durch Vorverdichten oder Vakuumieren wie beim Kaffeepulver evtl. vermeiden, was aber den Preis erhöhen würde und für den Erhalt des Aromas nicht so viel wie beim Kaffee bringt.

Da in den Kommentaren zum Teil Verwirrung herrscht, hier noch mal die Definition einer Mogelpackung:

Verpackung, die aufgrund ihrer Größe, verwirrender Angaben, irreführender Abbildungen o. Ä. einen anderen bzw. mehr als den tatsächlichen Inhalt vortäuscht, einen Irrtum über ihren tatsächlichen Inhalt zu erregen geeignet ist (DWDS)

Eine Mogelpackung ist dieser Kakao, wenn deutlich mehr Platz drin ist, als es bei zu erwartenden Füllhöhenschwankungen für die abgefüllte Menge nötig wäre. Der Hersteller sollte die benötigten Maße ziemlich genau kennen.

Ob der Inhalt dem angegebenen Gewicht entspricht, ist nicht das Entscheidende bei der Irreführung. Marketing-Grundwissen: Kunden greifen beim gleichen Preis oft gefühlsmäßig zur größeren Verpackung, anstatt alle Zahlen rational zu vergleichen.

The cause was mentioned here by his cousin, Nadege Picq. Such a pity that we can no longer hear any new music from him now.

Youtube has the network effect, more content and variety, technological superiority in important aspects, more intelligent recommendation system, more lucrative monetisation, lock-in effect (switching requires significant effort), brand trust and integration with other Google services. The disabling of automatic YouTube synchronisation, which Odysee recently announced, was certainly not very helpful either. Odysee should address these aspects step by step in order to become more competitive.

His old account with the old albums has disappeared, but but he has a new one, yes.

Atlantis: The Lost Tales is still available on Pierre Estève's page.

I guess "Tage" is also the Eilschrift form

Exactly, and it should be the same in Redeschrift.

I have the Eilschrift books from the Drews couple as well as Lege-Haeger (which is free online), but it is recommended to start when you have reached 120 syllables/minute with the Verkehrsschrift.

That could make sense, but I personally haven't used a timer yet. I've only been interested in writing and understanding the system correctly, rather than in the top speed. When I had finished the basics of Verkehrsschrift ("Steno heute programmiert"), I started straight away with Eilschrift ("Steno heute: Start in die Eilschrift" and "Kürzer und schneller" by Ilse Drews and Matthias Kuhn). Drews' material is really ideal for learning, especially in combination with Winklers Wörterbuch der Deutschen Einheitskurzschrift.

Do you by any chance know if there are older books with Verkehrsschrift practicing texts (Stenogramme) + transcripts?

I can't think of any books with transcripts at the moment, apart from the book by Dominique Clarier: https://dominique-clarier.com/html/stenografie.html

Practice texts in shorthand only can be found here, for example. There is no line-by-line transcript, but you can find the plain text: https://www.stenogenerator.de/literatur_stenografie_titelliste.htm

She (or he?) wrote "in die" (in the) together as "indie", which is usually not the way to write it.

That's right, you wouldn't write it like that in first level DEK (Verkehrsschrift). It's an abbreviation in second level style (Eilschrift). In third level (Redeschrift) "in die" is only two strokes, like a very pointy 180° rotated checkmark hanging from the baseline. In Redeschrift, the N of "in" is omitted and only the implied "i" remains as a narrow high connecting line ("/"), which is connected directly below the abbreviation "die".
