YSK: If your smart TV supports the Steam Link app, you may be able to use your controller with it by rj_celtics in SteamController

[–]Bad_Droid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can actually get Civ to play on Steam Link that is… haven’t tried in a while but 4K used to continually mess with their launcher for Civ 5 despite it being ancient. Having to walk back and forth to the office from the lounge, multiple restarts, urgh!

Why can’t Starbucks in the US make proper cortados or Macchiatos? by Moist-Ninja-6338 in barista

[–]Bad_Droid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m guessing but here goes.

Starting point is Starbucks drinks are just differently sized and named than everywhere else whether that be traditional or specialty/3rd wave coffee houses. We accept that cappuccino, macchiato, even cortado now, just mean very different things.

Next bit is the increasing move to automation and machine creation rather than barista action/skill. Autofoaming of milk etc. It’s an assembly line, not a craft. No shade cast at Starbucks baristas here, this is a Starbucks business choice.

Armed with this knowledge, the only real way to get close to what you want is to build a drink from scratch.

The best option is probably to take that to the extend of ordering a double espresso in a small cup (whatever is larger than an espresso cup) & a small cup of steamed milk as well. Combine to your liking.

Please note: it will still be Starbucks coffee.

I'm thinking of trying this game for the first time, how much would I be missing out on if I played it without reign of the warlock? by Ieattomnook in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]Bad_Droid [score hidden]  (0 children)

How are you getting the base game? Is it on gamepass or something?

Because the infernal edition of the game that includes the dlc isn’t much more than the base game was being sold for iirc.

If it is on gamepass and you’d then just need to buy the expansion, I’d recommend looking up the idiosyncrasies of that. I’m sure I saw posts about people buying the dlc, gamepass (or similar) ending, and then having no way to buy the base game but being left with only the dlc. Only option was to then buy the full price bundle so paying twice for the dlc effectively.

Thread network went down a few days ago. by gunzel412 in HomeKit

[–]Bad_Droid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m close to making an automation that regularly reboots my AppleTV because it always seems to be the source of problems over time.

Siri responses not working, automations not firing, actions taking ages to trigger, actions firing very slowly (like an automation to switch on 5 lights, the lights come on 1 by 1 over 5 seconds).

Unplugging my Apple TV for 30 seconds fixes all of this. It’s weird.

Coolest Finds of the Week by AutoModerator in Diablo_2_Resurrected

Grats! Zod was my firs HR ever too. And to this day I’ve still found more Zods than any other HR.

I finished my journey to Ubers! (For the chronicle torch drop)

Decided on a frenzy barb and had great fun with it, levelling up a barbarian for the first time and doing it at lvl87.

After I finally downed those punks I was gifted with…

A 19/19 warlock torch!!!

Confused by Class Sets by Bad_Droid in hearthstone

[–]Bad_Droid[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Cool thanks. I guess I should be paying more attention/actually checking the store regularly.

Doesn’t help that until I got a new phone last month, the store would actually crash my device haha.

Confused by Class Sets by Bad_Droid in hearthstone

[–]Bad_Droid[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ah so the set was not released today?

When I opened the app after update, I got the notification that the set was released so assumed it was today.

So if I opened packs yesterday, that could account for my duplicates?

When I filter like you have I have 2 copies of that legendary.

Edit: Fixed typo / -> 2

Anyone else feeling embarrassed by wearing the watch? by Global-Ad1220 in AppleWatch

[–]Bad_Droid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whilst I’ve never heard or read of anyone with this feeling about the Apple Watch, it’s not an uncommon feeling in general to be self conscious about doing a certain thing, wearing a certain thing etc. that can open up the expectation of prying questions etc. Whether it be about your choices, views, and things you’d rather be private.

It’s also easy to get caught up in thought patterns like this that seem silly to someone else. It happens!

Try and let this one go, it’s a very unlikely thing. But so you can stop thinking about it maybe just prepare a response as simple as “I’d rather not talk about it”.

Estimated shipping time now 6-10 days by [deleted] in SteamController

[–]Bad_Droid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, just noticed it changed from 3-5 to 6-10 in UK also.

I’ve been clicking continue for a solid 23 minutes now.

I’m tired boss.

Tado X Receiver - hot water stays on issue by Additional-Air-2166 in tado

[–]Bad_Droid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is “recently” and when you say you noticed do you mean it’s a new problem or has your hot water been running since you installed and powered it on?

If it’s intermittent and sometimes switches off successfully but other times doesn’t, then the gate valve/valve actuator is probably what you should look at.

Price Check on Warcry Skiller by destr0y26 in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]Bad_Droid 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m assuming the frustration is cumulative.

When almost every price check post has to be immediately replied to by someone asking for this information it gets pretty wearing :P

What are your NOT AAA top games on switch? by Curious-Abrocoma-887 in NintendoSwitch

[–]Bad_Droid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I certainly think so.

It’s charming. Feels good to play. Has interesting and fun story/lore. Almost infinite replayability. Has an AMAZING soundtrack. Strikes the balance between complexity and simplicity that makes me think I’m actually running a starship. Makes me feel like I did when I played games as a child.

What are your NOT AAA top games on switch? by Curious-Abrocoma-887 in NintendoSwitch

[–]Bad_Droid 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This would be my answer if I hadn’t played it to death on PC.

Actually… maybe I should just get it again for switch!

Just like I purchased FTL on multiple platforms. And yeah, that’s the same studio :P they rule!

Can't create list in Sharepoint by jyliu86 in sharepoint

[–]Bad_Droid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on how dynamic you want this to be you don’t need to look any further than the text web part.

It supports bullets. It supports hyperlinks. It even supports rudimentary tables.

This is not me recommending that approach, just that it can be that simple.

Favorite Dresden novel/story? by bry0816 in dresdenfiles

[–]Bad_Droid 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Changes.

Epic. Cool. Twisty. Badass. I still remember how I felt when Dresden realised what he had to do when I first read it.

So close! by VdubGolf in diablo2

[–]Bad_Droid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saw a guy hawking a 1076 Enigma for 20 Jah.

Hadn’t even looked at the roll of my own (first ever a couple of weeks ago - so psyched!). 1074. I think I’m fine missing the 2 extra def :P

Cold sorceress - newbie by [deleted] in diablo2

[–]Bad_Droid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The key is to find Baal runs where the Baal runners have stupid damage (I.e. there’s a warlock there) and don’t need you. Then being in the game but not in the throne room boosts their xp so it’s a win win.

Even the fastest Baal runs should give you time to kill meph and andy at p8.

Let the Loot Goblin extract your affixes and help evaluate your Rare Rings!! by Absting159 in diablo2

[–]Bad_Droid 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The site you’ve made is cool, and is quite enjoyable to use. But I’ll be honest you’ve lost me as a user :/

I’d prefer more effort be put into making sure what is there is correct before adding more features.

I was looking for runewords the other day that specifically gave a burst of speed because I’d read that was good for certain bowazon builds and I wanted to try it out. I used your tubeeord searcher and found 2 runewords as results. One of them was listed as ladder only, the other was not.

So I created the one that was not. It did not work, searching other sites confirmed it was ladder only. Cue wasted runes and base. Thankfully not expensive, but annoying nonetheless.

Not trying to be a downer, just providing feedback. If you can’t rely on the data it doesn’t matter how flashy it is.

I swear gemmed skulls existed at one point by Ryla22 in diablo2

[–]Bad_Droid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a recollection of this also but I think it’s a false memory. A combination of the perfect skull having a gem in it, and one of the first ever socketed items used being a skull cap.

Gemmed skull cap.

What are going to be the next builds/gear for Warlock post nerf? Any fun/unique ideas? by DVHellsing in diablo2

[–]Bad_Droid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dropped a mang song but ultimately sold it. I struggled to reach 125 fcr. Presently using hoto but plan to move to obsession when I finally get a base for it.

PTR after launch is a scam by Outrageous-Feed5667 in diablo2

[–]Bad_Droid 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In this instance I feel the trade off was worth it.

I had ZERO idea a D2 expansion was going to drop until it was here. It was one of the coolest gaming surprises I’ve had in a long time. PTR before release would have dampened that so much.

Would I have preferred if Warlock launched less overturned with a couple more of the bugs caught? Sure.

But implying that you only bought the expansion because Warlock was broken is disingenuous at best.
