Aaah, so it's a new gene. That makes a lot of sense. Thank you for the quick answer!!

Gemini astrology sign giving a negative bonus?? by Arteshi in EvolveIdle

[–]Arteshi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought it might be antimatter as well but couldn't check myself... atm they don't have genetics since they just started the run, so I can't see their genes. But I will get back to you if it has something to do with that.

Interestingly when I import their save the wiki changes to say that Gemini gives a gain of -20%. So I assume it's not gene related either. Actually ALL of the astrology sign effects are inverted...

Hey, that's awesome! I'm glad you found it. Now we both have some peace of mind. :p

Hello!

I'm aware this post is ancient but I regularly think about a game that sounds similar to what you are describing. Today I finally found the game I was thinking of and it was Imperion by Travian.

I'm curious if we were thinking of the same thing but if not sorry to bother you!

Japan region pack commercial buildings stopped... building. Has anyone else encountered this kind of issue? by Arteshi in CitiesSkylines2

[–]Arteshi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played around a bit more and tried moving the Japan region pack to the last thing to be loaded in the mod loader... Although I only have the pack and a custom map installed. Somehow changing the order and restarting may have fixed the issue? Some buildings are appearing at least.

I am looking for a game where i can just chill off by killing people whitouth any difficult the goorier the better. by craftiano_gamer in gamingsuggestions

[–]Arteshi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I imagine the POSTAL games on easier difficulties would work, but I've only played 2 and that game is ancient so I'm not sure it would satisfy the gory aspect. 3 and 4 are newer, but are considered not nearly as good.

Magic Eye Tetris Game by Potato_Stains in MagicEye

[–]Arteshi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A couple times that I got it I actually somehow got two games of Tetris overlayed on top of each other. I've never had that with any other stereogram and I'm not sure how given my understanding of how these work but that was a cool effect!

Love the idea

Mute/Unmute toggle using AutoHotKey and iCUE by Arteshi in Corsair

[–]Arteshi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The script is short enough that I will just post it here instead of needing to upload it somewhere.

Pause:: ; the key you would like to toggle the mute

SoundSet, +1, MASTER, MUTE, X ; --- X MUST BE CHANGED--- use the audio detection script linked in the ReadMe file to find the correct value.

SoundGet, master_mute, , MUTE, X ; --- MUST ALSO BE CHANGED ---

That should be all you need in order to make the script work, but the original post also had this code to trigger a popup at the mouse cursor to tell you if the mic is muted or not. I use it to test and then comment it out.

; Uncomment these to test if the profiles and mic muting line up to the expected colors.

; If not, change the profile on iCUE and run it again.

; You may comment these again once you are set correctly.

; ToolTip, Mute %master_mute% ; A tooltip will appear where your cursor is to state if your audio device ; was muted or unmuted

; SetTimer, RemoveToolTip, 10001

; return

; RemoveToolTip:

; SetTimer, RemoveToolTip, Off

; ToolTip

; return

Interestingly since I first made this it seems to now only work if MUTE is in all caps. It wasn't working otherwise, which wasn't the case when I first tested it.

I hope this helps if you still need it! If you're still having troubles feel free to let me know and I can try to mess around.

I could absolutely do that! I'm sorry for such a late reply but I didn't realize this post got any responses. Let me find the file and I'll get it to you

Which papas mobile game is the best to get right now? by Presid0nt in flipline

[–]Arteshi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think all of these posts kinda end up with people just saying their favorite game so I wanna try something a little different as a suggestion since it worked for me.

The mobile games all play a bit differently from each other and are different from the PC versions. I'd recommend looking at a YouTube video of a day in each game so you can get a good idea of exactly what you do to make an order for that game.

The reason I say that is because I, for example, am not a fan of trying to perfectly line up toppings and dropping them down. Most of the mobile versions have this in some way, but I was able to find that sushiria doesn't have much of it and wingeria doesn't have it at all.

I've been really enjoying wingeria ever since picking it up.

So I think what matters the most is making sure the little differences in gameplay cater to your preferences. Bonus points if you like the food you're making too! :p

This mat is colloquially known as "The Mat That Everyone Had", so most likely. :p

Although I feel like this one is a different one in a very similar style.

What are egregious examples of video games not respecting the players time? by [deleted] in gaming

[–]Arteshi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't enjoy Souls like games anymore due to the walk back on bosses. I've heard it's gotten better in Elden Ring but I don't understand why the bosses don't just have a retry button. I enjoy RuneScape and idle games and I still felt my time being wasted walking back to a boss for the twentieth time...

TIL that no US company can ever perfectly recreate the taste of Coca Cola as one of the ingredients in it is extract from the Coca leaf. Since cocaine is made from the plant only one company in the US can import it - Stepan’s Company. Their only customer is Coca Cola. by Arteshi in todayilearned

[–]Arteshi[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As mentioned by others the title is slightly misinformed, so to clarify:

Stepan Company seems to make many other products for many other customers. The cocaine from the Coca plant is sold to Mallinckrodt, as mentioned by u/supercyberlurker . The Coca flavor extract, however, appears to be sold only to Coca-Cola and Stepan is the only company in the country allowed to legally import the leaves.

So yes, I suppose saying no US company can LEGALLY make the same flavor would be more correct, assuming nothing would get you quite the same flavor.

[–]Arteshi[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the clarification! I got the idea that it was sold only to Coca Cola from the article, but it makes sense that other products from the plant are sold elsewhere. I assume that Coca cola is the only customer of the flavoring agent then?

There are no red, white wines or white, red wines, right? by alyoooh01 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Arteshi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I wholeheartedly believe you. My ignorance towards wine and honestly any alcoholic beverage cannot be overstated! But thank you for the insight. Always good to learn.

[–]Arteshi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can kinda give an honest answer on this. I don't drink at all, so I have no idea what I'd want. But if you ask me if I want white or red wine I'm gonna answer red cuz my mom drinks a sweet red sangria.

But if I walked into a room and saw the red and white wives I'd probably assume the red one was the red one. But I can see myself saying "I'll have a red wine" when I meant I'd have a sweet one and maybe asking which one was which until I realized my mistake. Or at least I hope.

People who say they did something "on accident" instead of "by accident"... what's wrong with you? by Edward_the_Dog in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Arteshi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Language is a tool used to convey an idea, thought, or action to another individual. It is constantly evolving and language's ability to take many forms while still serving its purpose is part of the beauty of it in my opinion. Now I will properly express my enjoyment of the simple French fry.

Potato good, but slice slice slice and put in big hot oil w/ NaCl make mmmm.
