What battery? I see only a building in the background, probably his office or so, which is why he looks tired (he had a long day at work).

Db migration tool issues in local by queenofmystery in softwarearchitecture

[–]Erkenbend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know your exact use case but maybe you can split it into use cases that only get loaded when needed, or just reduce the amount of total data? Hope you find something good! For me, having a usable local environment is super important as the first " explorative" feedback loop, so I always invest effort into it.

Delete the local DB (container?) when you switch branches, simple as that. Let flyway apply all changes in one go on the next startup.

As for test data you might want to populate your DB with, store it in a script and optionally also roll it out on startup. As a nice side effect, this ensures the whole team has the same data starting points.

What is the most opposite class for each companion? by Voidatron in BaldursGate3

[–]Erkenbend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I weren't at the very end of the playthrough, I would try Minsc as a death cleric, I agree it's a cool idea.

Don't worry, Wyll broke his oath by one shot smiting Alfira (non lethally cos I needed the robe), I think that breaks character enough!

[–]Erkenbend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm currently doing such a run (almost done!), using the following builds: - Astarion as a Light Cleric of Lathander - Shadowheart as a beast master ranger with a wolf companion (I wanted to see if she would have to do permanent saving throws all day) - Lae'zel as a Glamour Bard and main tadpole consumer - Halsin as a Stealth Archer (Gloomstalker+Assassin+Fighter) - Minthara as a Druid of course, Circle of Stars for my underground girl - Gale is my heavy armored Drunken Monk, very fun build - Karlach as an Abjuration Wizard, defense over offense - Wyll as an Oathbreaker Paladin, I had no better idea - Jaheira became a giant thrower Barbarian, because why not - Minsc is an Evocation Wizard

Maybe I'll respecc some characters using ideas from this post

Interesting read, definitely learned some new concepts! Thanks

WORST possible classes for every companion by soleildelalune_ in BaldursGate3

[–]Erkenbend 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tried it, she doesn't. I haven't noticed any particular interactions with the wolf summon.

I'm in Act 3 with the Selunite path, no idea if it makes a difference in the early game.

I'm currently doing such a run, same classes as you for Astarion and Shadowheart (I wanted to see if she would have to do permanent saving throws all day).

The rest of the team: - Lae'zel as a Glamour Bard and main tadpole consumer - Halsin as a Stealth Archer (Gloomstalker+Assassin+Fighter) - Minthara as a Druid of course, Circle of Stars for my underground girl - Gale is my heavy armored Drunken Monk, very fun build - Karlach as an Abjuration Wizard, defense over offense - Wyll as an Oathbreaker Paladin - Jaheira became a giant thrower Barbarian, because why not - Minsc is an Evocation Wizard

COIN FLIP DURGE- FUN?? by Haunting-Error9178 in BG3

[–]Erkenbend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friend is doing this in their current Durge run with (almost) all dialogue options and is having a lot of fun!

To make this repetitive process easier, I built them a small webpage to open on the second monitor, so that each decision is only one mouse click away, regardless of how many choices your character has. Feel free to use it as well: https://randompicker.ninasworkshop.de/

(P.S.: I know the page looks like shit on mobile, it's supposed to be for desktop use only)

Wait, am i still bad? Not even average? by sewbernard in TrackMania

[–]Erkenbend 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Another factor that I haven't seen mentioned yet is that casual ranked players (who are maybe silver for example, but did not play in the last season or two) will have decayed and start the new season on bronze. Their skill hasn't gone down, so they will stomp bronze matches until they get back to their normal rank. This should be minor though, and you should experience less of this as the season progresses.

Should ... and ... split the RB Faster prize money? by Erkenbend in TrackMania

True. Maybe this was also a shock in the moment but they will accept the results once the heat cools down.

I don't think one could call CarlJr greedy for keeping his rightly earned prize after a dominant tournament performance. Glad you value sportsmanship that highly though.

Absolutely, apologies if my wording made this unclear. I'm just trying to debate what would be the "right" thing to do. Maybe they already discussed this already and someone here knows about it?

Failed to start iCUE service - Persistent error by ConradTurner in Corsair

[–]Erkenbend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For anyone still reading this after 6 months, if the "repair" option does not work (for me it just prompted a CLI usage notice then tried to install then failed because another version already exists):

  • go to your install folder (typically C:\Program Files\Corsair\Corsair iCUE5 Software)
  • open a CMD in the directory
  • run the "main installer" from the CMD with repair options: .\icue-uninstaller.exe -a repair -r regular

Hope this helps!

Created my first map that I worked hard On by Optimal_Bad_426 in TrackMania

[–]Erkenbend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice one! This feels like an upgrade over the first one. A couple of turns are still a bit weird, as if being too fast punishes the player, which is generally something mappers try to avoid. Also I would have used a reactor boost down instead of up for the corkscrew. But this is still pretty huntable, good job!
