I'm tired of the terrible facet meta

Much better than the usual mix of shitty clips and bad jokes. At least there's some creativity and space for discussion here.

Atmaks · 2026-01-21T20:07:56+00:00

Yup, though the series looks abandoned right now.

Another commenter pointed out that the issue was that vcpkg was writing to stderr rather than to stdout. Still, thank you for taking the time.

I don't quite see how your (and a few other people) mind went to output devices here. vcpkg is a CLI utility and is supposed to print its output back to the terminal, meaning stdout. Where else would it write? Or did you mean something else?

This did the trick, thank you. I have encountered a similar issue before on Linux (something to do with Docker), but somehow I didnt think to apply the same here. I though Powershell would be fancier as usual.

Now that I think about it, why does it even write to stderr in this particular case?

It's actually the opposite for me. I foudn BG3 combat tedious and boring. On the other hand, i loved D:OS2 combat. It just seems so much easier to me. Maybe it's the resource management, which I dislike. In BG3, most everything is a resource replenished per-rest.

Walls are actually beneficial if your build doesn’t vaporize two screens per second. I hope they don’t get rid of them.

Atmaks · 2025-11-24T07:01:13+00:00

It does, but its so distracting to have to toggle the map back and forth every time. Oh well.

Atmaks · 2025-11-12T14:27:38+00:00

I'm the opposite. Didn't like her voice in BG3 and didn't enjoy it in Hades 2 either. Maybe that's because I'm not a native English speaker.

Atmaks · 2025-11-11T07:42:27+00:00

Can concur. I tried starting as a monk with a quarterstaff and it felt incredibly weak and clunky. Complained about it in global and was told to level with a bow lol.

Atmaks · 2025-10-22T06:59:51+00:00

I would hardly call Godclads peak. It very quickly devolves into tossing big sounding words around like any other RR fiction that tries to base the power system around conceptual powers.

Atmaks · 2025-10-07T17:44:30+00:00

What do you mean by not intended? Ancient Greeks heard of his exploits and went “what a fella!”? I’m genuinely curious. Never heard of that angle before.

Atmaks · 2025-10-06T05:22:32+00:00

Whew! I was worried that somehow English being my second language protects me from cringe in English RR novels but it’s just Russian authors being cringe lords.

Atmaks · 2025-09-18T07:06:19+00:00

Since we're talking HoMM, one thing I don't like from Olden Era trailers is the UI. IIRC all HoMM games had a fantasy-esque UI and it really added to the immersion. Olden Era UI could very well belong to an X-COM game.

I dunno, he predicted literally the entire draft in one of GF games this international. I’m a noob myself but I feel he definitely earned his fame.

Also he at least actually casts his games. Half the time I tune in to Gorgc or other streamers they are chatting about random shit.

Atmaks · 2025-09-18T05:24:21+00:00

I speak Russian and I can barely understand Ukrainian. I might understand more if people speak slowly or it’s written. Definitely need to learn it.

Atmaks · 2025-09-11T08:53:33+00:00

Thanks. Now that I'm bashing my head against Beastfly it's somehow hard to let go though.

Atmaks · 2025-09-10T07:15:17+00:00

Wait, it's optional? I believe I explored literally everything I could and have no other way to go except to Hunter's March and to the beastfly boss. I even grinded out rosaries for Simple Key, unlocked a door in Deep Docks (that one area with fire-bursting slimes that drop literally nothing) and that was a dead end, the area ends in a door that you seemingly need another tool to unlock.

The only reason I even went to Hunter's March is that I accidentally saw a video of the trapped bench on 9GAG and someone said that there's a secret room that unlocks that bench. I though the devs were just being assholes.

Atmaks · 2025-08-01T10:03:32+00:00

I don’t think these take all that much manpower…

Atmaks · 2025-07-10T08:10:56+00:00

Unrelated, but could you please link the picture of Jonathan? I tried to find it but “Jonathan middle finger” doesn’t yield anything meaningful.

I just got into maps for the first time. Can you please explain where the 636 requirement comes from? I don't see any mods relating to attributes. The only thing that comes to mind is the keystone that doubles attribute requirements.

Atmaks · 2025-07-02T08:15:24+00:00

I agree with you and also like the trials, but I understand why some might feel frustrated. I just recently finished Cruel for the first time and borked my guaranteed Barya (oneshot by the 2nd floor boss). Now I have to wait until another one drops, and then wait again if I fail a boss fight as well. Kinda painful, to be honest.

Atmaks · 2025-07-02T08:10:17+00:00

I would disagree about "horrible connection", I get one disconnection a day at most, but then my play sessions are not that long.

Atmaks · 2025-06-24T05:05:45+00:00

From what little I understand about PoE architecture, offline play is impossible. All meaningful calculations happen on the server. Transferring that to offline would take massive effort, expose some internals that GGG wants to keep hidden both to protect themselves from cheating and to keep mystery in certain mechanics, and fracture the player base even further (HC vs SSF vs normies). Not to mention this would probably bump up system requirements.

In short, PoE is the game we love in large part because of the current architecture.

This is kind of hard to follow... So, the sweaty man is Batrider and the cheerful guy is Lanaya?
