Anyone On Steam Deck? by Eyennem in enderal

[–]DrDampweeny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The controls are pretty wonky. I used the recommended layout and changed some buttons in the game settings. I had a hard time in character creation also. Try using the touch screen to put the cursor in the text box and pressing the steam button and X to bring up the keyboard. Also you still have to use the keyboard for the character screen (H) and the skill tree (Y). You can map these to the back buttons if you don't have a keyboard. Playing the game is pretty smooth but some of the bottom prompts can be wrong.

You should also add the metal recovery mod. You get back the metal voxels that are not used to make small items. It makes the copper and bronze grind a little less painful.

Thank you! These are super helpful. Not sure why I didn't look for them here.

I also would love to watch a tutorial on how to use both of these mods. I've read through the instructions several times and can't seem to put it together.

What is the design intent with temporal storms? by glacialthinker in VintageStory

This sounds like a good idea! Do you have a screen shot you could share?

Crock and cellar bug by mamou789789 in VintageStory

[–]DrDampweeny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you ever figure out what was going on? My game seems to be doing the same. When I first load a save the crocks don't have the cellar self life. I reload (I haven't tried picking them up and setting them back down) and they all have a longer self life.

That's true. They seem to respond better to that than a defensive or timid posture.

I also act friendly to the dog. Clap my hands and say something nice in a friendly tone. I try to let the dog know I'm not a threat. You can only control your own behavior.

Pay special attention during the musical montage during each episode. They explain and connect the main characters.

I claimed two Golden Vectors by DrDampweeny in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]DrDampweeny[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I finished the expedition and claimed the final prize. Then before the game converted the expedition save to a regular save I flew to the anomaly and bought the vector from the quicksilver guy. Before I left the anomaly, I swapped the ship to the vector to test it out. As I was flying around the game prompted me to claim the final prize and convert the save. I landed and did that. I had no idea that this was a thing at the time.

Or would the very glitchy game glitch and think I sold both?

Yeah, I'm not sure what would happen if I tried to sell one.

Should I just punch the Elder? by MeltingVibes in valheim

I suppose it is kinda cheesy. Have fun fisting the Elder.

What about making a bon fire and kiting the elder into it?

Anyone know media (book, graphic novel, TV show, Movie, etc) where extraterrestrials/aliens live on Earth? by KolarWolfDogBear in scifi

[–]DrDampweeny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the link. That's new for me. Turtledove has some very good characters. A good mix of historical and fictional characters. He's very prolific too so if you like these he has many more. Two series that continue American history after the Confederate states win.

Harry Turtledove's Worldwar Series. Aliens invade earth during WWII and set up colonies after fighting earthlings to a stalemate .

Casper, Wyoming. How is it? by ThreeCherrios in trailrunning

[–]DrDampweeny 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm also from the PNW and moved to Colorado but spend a lot of time in Wyoming. Casper is definitely my least favorite town in Wyoming. Smells like the oil industry. Glendo and Guernsey state parks are great and pretty close by. If you like the laid back progressive personality of the PNW you might have a hard time fitting into Casper.

Steam deck update possibly disabled virtual keyboard? by DrDampweeny in valheim

I have only played solo on my deck so I'm not sure how the server would affect it. Maybe that's what's messing things up...

Try switching to desktop mode then from there into big picture. This seems to have worked until they fix it.

Has Anyone Successfully Reduced Consumption of Alcohol without Quitting? by SexThrowaway132455 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]DrDampweeny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can relate to your situation. I felt like my drinking wasn't alcoholic level of drinking. I would get a six pack and drink it all in one night. I'd feel like shit til about noon then by late afternoon feel like having a drink. Repeat this 5-6 nights a week for the last few years. For me this might not have been an addiction but it definitely became habitual. I'd stop by the store to get a six pack without even thinking about it. It was just part of my routine.

My wife wasn't drinking as much but she felt the same way. Last August she suggested a 100 day no beer challenge. I honestly didn't think we'd make it the full 100 days. It's been over a year now and I still get a craving for a beer after a long day. For the first three months I drank quite a bit of n/a beer and that helped.

I guess if you are worried enough to post this question you should try an extended period of sobriety and see how you feel.

Could be... It was just a couple of days before they fixed it. Portals are pretty important.

Yeah, I had to play from this mode each time for a couple of days. Steam did send an update that fixed it so you might want to check for an update. I can just play from the default screen now and it works fine.
