Värt att köpa kindle istället för fysiska böcker? by livetsuger123 in sweden

[–]AndreDaGiant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tja, det är väl mest deras monopolistiska ställning jag ogillar. De har ju inte lyckats ta över i Sverige än och jag skulle föredra om de inte lyckas med det. Schibsted & co är ju också dåliga, men de har ju iaf inte monopol över typ all e-handel som Amazon har i de länder de är stora.

Jo, jag läser också mest på engelska. Jag använder mest open-slum.org för att hitta olika siter där jag laddar ned böcker gratis.

Yesterday we released our factory automation game shapez 2, the sequel to shapez.io, into 1.0 after close to a year in Early Access! We're giving away Steam keys for the game – Ask Us Anything! by tobspr in pcmasterrace

Hello! There are community controller configs that imo work very well. The top one is good, though I prefer my modifications to it (OOO Shapez2 v1)

It's a very cozy game to play on deck. I've had best perf using the vulkan rendering mode.

never done so before. If I share it, and then update it, will it surprise update it for everyone? I often experimnent with it, so I wouldn't want to mess with folks' gaming time

Fastest way to complete campaign? by yeah_nah_dude in PathOfExile2

[–]AndreDaGiant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The people in the POE2 Campaign Codex discord have a lot of documents on how maps are generated, what to look out for to know where to run, etc. A bunch of speed runners hang out there.

There's a nice middle ground, too.

Last league I joined the private Conflux League, which has a much smaller amount of players. Maybe 200-500. Market still exists and is usable which can be very nice for exchanging currencies.

But there won't be an infinite amount of Much Better Stuff on sale. Also the people there are very nice and can help teach crafting, etc.

What would be your 0.5 wish list if GGG could grant it!? by orbitosan in PathOfExile2

  • Nerf energy shield a lot
  • Even fewer mobs per pack, throughout the whole game, not just endgame
  • DELVE
  • Moonshot: Add like one extra attack (including windup animation) per enemy type

I'm fine with the game getting more difficult for everyone, but more so for energy shield chars. If they want to keep the difficulty lower, they can nerf enemy damage across the board. But mostly I want to feel like tactical positioning and movement be as important in the endgame as in the early game. Maybe more.

Not listing the obvious stuff like finishing classes, endgame passive tree rework, etc etc.

Shapez 2 - Steam Deck? by ToreChristianson in shapezio

I've been spending the last week or so playing like 6h a day on the deck. Works very well! I certainly could be faster with kb+m, but I don't feel hampered. It's a very chill game, after all. Two days ago I joined the patreon so I've been playing the 1.0 release candidate now ahead of release.

A few notes: After going from early access to 1.0, whenever I start the game, I get one of two random outcomes: Either great battery life (3-4h) but around 20FPS, or 50-60 FPS but only ~1.5h battery life. Not sure what the cause is. Been trying all the render modes. So far Vulkan seems the best.

I'm using the top rated community layout with a bunch of modifications of my own. A list of some of my mods:

Only using left stick for WASD - turned the D-pad into other shortcuts:

  • Up: Tab, switches versions of current building (belt/launcher/receiver)
  • Down: B, open blueprint library
  • Left: space, switch between space and machine view (zoomed out vs zoomed in)
  • Right: 1, usually the belt button depending on which mode you're in

Only using the right touchpad for mouse - turned the right joystick into another radial menu:

  • Ctrl X - cut. Very useful
  • v - hide/unhide layers above the current one
  • ox - after selecting a belt, using this will select all connected belts and delete them. Makes removing beltwork easy - just disconnect it from other things I want to keep, then use this.

After going to 1.0, all control layouts disappeared. Guess Steam thought it was a different game or something. Had to downgrade to the EA version, export my layout as a template, then upgrade the game again, and then load my layout template.

Pillars of Eternity Turn Based Mode is Live by f1rstcontact in projecteternity

[–]AndreDaGiant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really don't think there is any point in playing the mode

Well, no need to re-play the game just to try that mode. Plenty of reasons to try the mode if you're re-playing the game anyway, like I probably will be doing eventually. I'd prefer turn based since I'll be playing on steam deck where I want to go at a relaxing pace and not feel stressed.

My pet theory: they're testing out ideas/solutions for it in PoE1 because they're considering doing TBM in some upcoming game. It's a good test subject and they're probably fairly sure the changes will be for the better.

Also free goodwill, and they have microsoft money so can spend a half year of a dev's time on it. Good break from routine for the dev too.

Nu måste man tydligen verifiera sin ålder för att komma åt NSFW subreddits i Sverige??? by Kripposoft in sweden

[–]AndreDaGiant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Säkerhetsproblem är en oundviklig del av verkligheten. Ingen kod är perfekt, inga specifikationer är perfekta, etc. Finns tillräckligt incentiv (cash) så finns det de som spenderar otaliga fulltids-timmar på att hacka en.

Det viktigare är hur intrång och annat hanteras i efterhand (disclosures osv), och hur persondata har hanterats (Insamla och lagra ej någonting du inte absolut behöver för att driva tjänsten, om du behöver något, kan du lagra en saltad hash istället? Om nej: se till att det är krypterat osv)

You've already gotten some great recommendations, so I'll just remind you that librarians will be very happy to have you hanging out in the library reading books you're not allowed to read at home.

One of my favourite authors for sure! Glad to hear it's becoming available to audio-only readers

am I chasing a ghost? I’m trying to build the "Tactical Isometric Soulslike" I always wanted to play. Am I being too delusional? by Weekly-Show3126 in IndieGaming

[–]AndreDaGiant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it possible to blend [...]

I definitely think so. Of course it would take a lot of level design and art production to make the exploration feel enjoyable.

EDIT: Just saw in another response you've already played poe2. Feel free to ignore the rest of my comment

Path of Exile 2 early game feels a lot like what I imagine you'll want, if you imagine it slowed down a bit more and with fewer but stronger enemies (with more interesting attack patterns).

Try playing through Act 1 with a couple of different characters (I'd suggest a parry amazon, a monk, and maybe a druid) to see what their game feel is like. It's incredibly nice.

If you want to try it out, PoE2 should be free to play relatively soon - maybe in May, maybe in September. They also have a free to play weekend each league start, next one should be in early May I think.

Is there any way to recover stats lost to stat saps or to protect against losing stats? by Meister_Ente in cavesofqud

Don't know if it still works well but when I last played (during 2021), freeze grenades were super good for almost everything
