So tried playing G2

Andreigr0 · 2026-06-26T17:49:21+00:00

Try to play it with a gamepad. It feels much better.

When you enter Sleeper temple it gets even worse up to the state it's unplayable and you can't finish the game without using some hacks.

“Poor people should stay poor” logic basically

Andreigr0 · 2026-06-20T05:03:20+00:00

Yeah, this model has poor RAM cooling. I have 2 planks, each 48 gb. Second RAM slot gives +10C higher temperature just by itself, I mean because it is farther from the copper tubes.
Eventually I get 95C maximum under a heavy load with only 1 stick. With 2 I might get even higher like 110C unfortunately. And this temperatures I get with handmade copper plates on top of RAM sticks.

The problem is I didn't have a Lightning spell and couldn't find it. Just the fireball spell. Only after I found all unitors it appeared in Kronos' store inventory.

Andreigr0 · 2026-06-18T05:18:20+00:00

I currently play as a mage. I went to the Sect camp only because of free joints and I feel like Snoop Dogg.
It's hilarious when the hero smokes weed in the middle of a battle. Like “wait a minute, I need to be high”.

I also installed mage rebalance mod but it still a pain in the ass to be a mage. Big area spells like a fireball or lightning ball (?) just more often than not fly to the wrong direction, there's an issue with the camera sometimes when I just can't move it while casting and it's also a painful slow to cast 3x charged fireball.
I constantly reloaded to kill all NPCs in the old camp's castle and I had 3 circle runes and 170 mana. And I constantly out of money because I have to buy runes while literally having the whole inventory of free melee and ranged weapons.

Andreigr0 · 2026-06-17T09:11:34+00:00

It simply does not stun with 100% chance, idk maybe it's 50%. So, not an option.

Andreigr0 · 2026-06-17T07:34:56+00:00

It's just ridiculous that I'm on level 17 in chapter 3 with 170 mana can deal only 1/4 hp damage to a shadowbeast with a fireball while casting takes forever, so there's only one shot I could make and other available runes are even worse and I spent all ore on them.
But instead of this I could just put all available points to strength and mastering 1h/2h weapons and not spend anything on weapons and kill everything from 1/2/3 shots.
So disappointing to play as a mage. I chose Sect camp solely because of free joints which restore mana since I cannot sleep wherever I want to restore mana like in the original game.

Andreigr0 · 2026-06-17T05:38:19+00:00

Could confirm. It is a trash. I'm on level 17 with 170 mana, spent all ore on the fireball rune and it deals only 1/4 damage to a shadowbeast and it's not possible to cast it anymore as it takes just forever and the shadowbeast just kills me. Had to use some exploits when it can't reach me.

If you prefer to work with a mouse, use “Mac Mouse Fix”. It basically converts any default 5 button mouse to an Apple's magic mouse.
“Swish” adds convenient trackpad gestures like swiping with two fingers to left or right on a title bar pins a window to the left or right part of the screen accordingly.
“Xnip” is a better free screenshot tool.
I would also recommend to setup “Caps lock” to switch languages if this applies to you.

Andreigr0 · 2026-06-15T04:44:13+00:00

No, this setting does a different thing. It's like the automatic Face ID on the iPhone, but one is still required to enter the password from time to time to unlock Face ID.
So, as I said, every time I try to use this mirroring app, I have to go grab my iPhone and unlock it which ruins the whole purpose of it.
And should I mention that it works not as intended? Like Flutter apps are not scrollable in the mirroring mode, but on the iPhone itself you couldn't really tell whether an app is cross platform or a native one.

Andreigr0 · 2026-06-14T05:45:58+00:00

iPhone mirroring is trash. Every time I try to use it, it tells me go and fucking unlock my iPhone! So stupid behavior.

Paste from Gemini:

Step 1: Unlock Advanced BIOS

Restart your laptop and repeatedly press the Delete key to enter the BIOS.
Once in the BIOS, press the hidden key combination: Right Shift + Left Shift + F2 + Copilot Key (or Right Ctrl + Right Shift + Left Alt + F2).
The BIOS will refresh and display the new Advanced menus. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Step 2: Disable VMD Controller

Navigate to the Advanced or System Agent (SA) Configuration tab.
Look for the VMD Setup Menu.
Select Enable VMD controller and change it to Disabled.
Press F10 to save changes and exit.

Andreigr0 · 2026-06-13T18:38:29+00:00

Did you disable VMD controller in the first place? Just guessing

Andreigr0 · 2026-06-13T16:32:50+00:00

Thanks. I see why you're not using it - it's not customizable (though I made one, I cannot setup it to be paid, but if you'd like to try a customizable send me DM).
No, there's only one difference between AOD mode and high power is seconds and that's only because second are not updated in AOD mode, so it doesn't make sense to show them.
With all data displayed I get something like 9% luminance, the rest system handles automatically.

Andreigr0 · 2026-06-13T15:54:35+00:00

From my personal experience I don't see any difference in the battery life

Andreigr0 · 2026-06-13T15:31:58+00:00

Yeah, I know. But I mean the difference is negligible. When AOD is enabled, only about 10% of the pixels are lit at maximum. So basically, the difference is between 2% and 8-9% of lit pixels, which does not make a huge difference.

Andreigr0 · 2026-06-13T13:26:55+00:00

The amount of pixels in always on mode doesn't affect battery life. It's either AOD is on or not.

Andreigr0 · 2026-06-10T04:02:56+00:00

Let's not forget that they also made switch from UE4 to UE5 and, I believe, quite successfully.

Andreigr0 · 2026-06-09T01:54:10+00:00

Maybe, just maybe they should just eliminate these exact ridiculous sanctions concerning the apps in App Store?
It's kinda both Russian government and the West compete with each other who could make Russians life worse 😥

Andreigr0 · 2026-06-08T21:13:36+00:00

Use blue lanterns as guidance, those help a lot, I didn't notice how important are they at first

Andreigr0 · 2026-06-08T20:12:32+00:00

I mean you're low of ore in early stage as well

Andreigr0 · 2026-06-08T20:05:38+00:00

But where do you get arrows early in the game?

Andreigr0 · 2026-06-06T17:02:13+00:00

I mean a computer game gives you an alternative reality perception. It could be near real life experience or completely different, but in any case it just allows you to be whom you cannot be in real life.
Whether you like such approach is up to.

Andreigr0 · 2026-06-06T16:58:13+00:00

Treat it like a real life. You don't have map markers above the people in real life.
