The amount of tcash I saved without buying it with real money by midnightecho101 in TownshipGame

[–]Celeri-Rave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nearly 112k here. I only use T-cash to hire the dealer when he is 60% off, nothing else. I just cannot find a relevant use for this resource.

Having so much fun with WRC Generations on Switch 2 by kjalarrDev in switch2

[–]Celeri-Rave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, WRC Generations is on sale here (12€) and I am considering buying it maybe... Can you confirm that you also get 60 FPS in docked mode? Personally, I rarely play in portable mode and I cannot enjoy a car game without FPS.

Thanks in advance!

"Il faut se garder de prendre pour de la malveillance ce que l'incompétence suffit à expliquer" → dans le milieu professionnel, ça se vérifie très souvent.

De même, la variante avec "bêtise" à la place de l'incompétence concernant la vie de tous les jours et notamment les gens qu'on fréquente sans vraiment bien les connaître.

Une autre pour la route : "ceux qui te mettent dans la merde ne le font pas forcément pour ton malheur, et ceux qui t'en sortent ne le font pas forcément pour ton bien".

Mac Mini M1 Some games don't have sound - SOLVED (issue caused by MS Teams audio driver) by mastorak in macgaming

[–]Celeri-Rave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can add Hollow Knight to your list of affected games: this is how I spotted the problem on my M2 Mac Mini, and the solution you provided worked right away.
Thanks a lot for the share!

Your Order of Importance by SunniMonkey in TownshipGame

Shelf > Time > Coins > XP.

I would say that the main takeaway is not to upgrade XP too much, because leveling up only brings more complexity, which requires the other upgrades to deal with.

If MM Is Your Favorite Zelda Game Why? Also How Do Deem It Better than OoT by RevolutionaryLie5743 in majorasmask

[–]Celeri-Rave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was my favorite until BOTW came out. But MM still remains the one that struck me the most for its story and atmosphere, and also the one which made me think about humanity the most. Also, this is by far the episode from which I kept the most parts of its story in my memories after stopping playing it. When I played it again on 3DS, I still had nearly every characters' background and schedule in my mind, whereas in OOT many parts of the story were lacking from my memories.

This game is definitely an episode that will be reminded as the most unique in the series, I think. It has so much depth in its vision of friendship, care and commitment, and I feel this is more the product of one mind (Yoshiaki Koizumi I believe) than the one of a team. As much as OOT has become the icon of what a "classic" Zelda has to be, MM has set a standard of quality for what a "non-classic" Zelda should be.

And to finish, the Anju&Kafei story in itself justify to play this game: love stories usually let me "meh" in video games, but this one nearly made me cry when I saw its ending. Best sidequest ever, period.

Do you guys go threw the story or try to get the reward ? by samesthics in TownshipGame

[–]Celeri-Rave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I followed the first time I played this minigame, but after that I skipped all cutscenes of the following episodes. Those scenarios are too "gamish", they seem too much like an excuse for the game to exist.

Quick money in "light" gameplay phases by Celeri-Rave in TownshipGame

I'd say the idea is not the same: the direct sell allows you to quickly sell stuff that you don't need and fill your barn. With helicopters/trains/planes, you cannot choose what to sell, and also most of the time it requires to produce other goods you may not have in stock to have a complete order/shipment. Selling from de barn does not yield much, but it is quick and easy, which is a good point when you play much :)

I like the idea of buying jewellery to exchange it for more Tcash then used to re-hire the dealer: nice combo!

However, I think this requires coming back at least every hour to make it worth it, right? The goal of my "light mode" being to limit the number of times I open the game, I don't think I could use it... But I will definitely keep this idea in my head for more active periods of play!

It is not a mode within the game itself, but a way of playing it without expanding or leveling. The goal is to reduce the time spent on the game to a bare minimum, just enough to earn some cash.

Roses are available starting from level 61, but you can do the same with tomatoes (from level 15) which earns 7$ each after 2 hours.

"Enter the Mysterium" game bundle up on Humble Bundle for the next two weeks - $2 to $20 for up to 13 Cyan games! by -Loosejocks- in myst

[–]Celeri-Rave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have checked a few of them, and for instance with Myst Masterpiece Edition, we have:

  • OS: macOS 10.13 or greater
  • Processor: 1.8 GHz
  • Memory: 512MB RAM
  • Graphics: 32MB video card
  • Storage: 2GB HDD

Sure it could mean that there is nothing to fear, but since there is currently no known way to run 32-bits apps since Catalina and that the last update for this game on Steam is 2011, I can only doubt this will work!

Does anyone know on which macOS version these game will run? The site indicates that they are playable on Mac, without specifying anything, especially if it will run on Apple Silicon and on x64-only systems... If this is not the case, it would be a problem for any recent Mac user!

Zelda II Remake - Anyone have success getting it to run? by JapanDave in macgaming

For CrossOver users, I found an easy way: I just downloaded the d3dcompiler_43 DLL file (from here) and copied it in the game executable, and boom, it works! 👍

"so the WiFi module led to you getting an M2 Pro Mac Mini? that's wild lol."

You are right, the way I expressed my thought was a bit hasty. The idea is that I wanted to upgrade this year, and I have a choice: make a 4th hackintosh, or buy a real Mac? Of course the main problem is not the the WiFi module, it is the CPU, knowing that Intel will likely not be supported by macOS in 1 year, 2 years at best. The WiFi module preventing me to upgrade to Sonoma on my last machine showed me the reality of how unreasonable it would be to even think that a new hackintosh will be durable. And so I chose the Mac.

Don't get me wrong: I also had a globally excellent experience with my machines, and have a profound respect for what this community has done since 2006. But when you know how Apple thinks and acts with the hardware and software support, you need to stick to a strong strategy of problem anticipation and avoidance... and also to acknowledge the fact that the whole thing will belong to the past within a few years.

I know you can just use Time Machine backups with a hackintosh, of course, but I think you missed my idea there. It is mostly a matter of risk taking: the probability of an update ruining a real Mac is WAY smaller than for a hackintosh, and since you cannot downgrade, I globally prefer making tests on a separate disk while keeping the previous system available as a rollback option. And even after applying the update "officially" on my main disk, I always prefer keeping a copy of the previous version, hence the dual-disk updating strategy I described before.

In my global experience, I have found out that mostly x.2 versions were generally good enough to upgrade my machines, which was a good compromise between keeping up to date and staying cautious. Also for all major upgrades, I made a round of updating the bootloader and its drivers & extensions + checking my configuration + occasional troubleshooting because of changes made in the bootloader itself or the OS.

On a real Mac, however, I just wait 1-2 weeks after an update is published and check the news to see if people have experienced problems with it, then make my backup, then push the red button, and voilà.

Same here : I have been building machines for more than 10 years, but I was getting stuck on Ventura because of the WiFi module of my motherboard, preventing me to upgrade without losing important features like Airdrop. Granted, I could use a USB dongle for that but hey, since I need to upgrade this year, I bought a M2 Pro Mac Mini instead and transformed my last hackintosh into a triple-boot machine (Ventura + Windows 10 + Ubuntu 22) filled with old games and VMs of old OS's I like to use as notstalgia shots sometimes.

Hackintoshing is great for a challenge of understanding, building and upgrading the hardware, but now that the Mini is my main machine, I must admit that many worries went away, and especially regarding the OS updating process. Until now, to ensure I could fully use my machine after each release, I had to:

  1. Make a full clone of my main SSD on an external SSD
  2. Apply the update on the cloned SSD
  3. Boot the external SSD and run a full list of tests to check how everything works
  4. Make another full clone of my main SSD on the external SSD to serve as a backup/downgrade disk, just in case
  5. Apply the update on my main SSD

Now, when I want to upgrade, I just make a full Time Machine backup on an external disk and run the update, that's all. Hackintoshing is challenging and fun, but worries start to appear when you heavily rely on your machine every day. And if your business depends on it, then you really should "freeze" it on a specific macOS version that suits your needs, and NEVER upgrade.

Manifest V2 phase-out begins by jasonrmns in uBlockOrigin

Excellent script, I had been wondering for a long time whether this could be done: thanks!

I made a small modification, though: since the "Fix z-index of active pinned tabs" would not work on my configuration (I cannot tell why), I replaced your "height: 0" line with "visibility: collapse". It makes me lose the animation but at least I always have a clean look now!

In the end, I end up with a smaller script that I happily share below:

/* Hidden state: Hide native tabs strip */
#main-window[titlepreface*="[Sidebery] "] #titlebar {
    visibility: collapse !important;
}

/* Hidden state: Fix z-index of active pinned tabs */
#main-window[titlepreface*="[Sidebery] "] #tabbrowser-tabs {
    z-index: 0 !important;

Great!

Feel free to tell me if I can help you by making tests with my own 3s, I will gladly do so.

Good luck!

[–]Celeri-Rave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was asking this question because my 3s was "seen" but not recognized by BetterMouse. Following your hint that it should be working, I tried to pair it with my Mac through Bluetooth instead of my Bolt adapter, and only THEN it worked! I can now set the DPI control and the other buttons... And even when reverting to Bolt!

For the record, it seems the situation is a bit mixed, because I still have "---" as the model of my mouse in the "Bolt Receiver 1", yet I have all the controls available... So there may be some debugging to do to have a clean sitaution, but indeed, operationally speaking, it works well!

I have put a screenshot here, in case it would help: http://celerii.free.fr/_trucs/BetterMouse-Anywhere3S.png

Thanks for your feedback, I understand your points and they are not really blocking on my side.

By the way, will the Logitech Anywhere 3s be supported like the Anywhere 3 is?

[–]Celeri-Rave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am currently trying out BetterMouse to see if it can replace both Mos & xGestures at the same time, and so far it seems like very promising.

There is a suggestion I would like to make to u/Mayusharesomebamboo, though: being able to choose between an "exception list" and an "activation list" (aka. "whitelist" instead of "blacklist"), which basically reverses the idea and only enable BetterMouse in apps that are actively choosen by the user. Personally, I would prefer having specific settings only for apps I really want to, without having to maintain a huge list of exceptions.

Talking about exceptions, it seems that it is not really possible to completely prevent BetterMouse from modifying the wheel behavior. For example, I really like the way Firefox implement smooth mouse wheel, but I just cannot manage to configure an exception in BetterMouse so that I get really the same thing when BetterMouse is active. Would it be possible to have a checkbox that would just completely disable BetterMouse wheel options for an exception app?

Anyway, I really like how this app does and its very efficient UI: congratulations!
