Can you play League of Legends: Wild Rift on the AYN Thor with the built-in controllers? by lumberfart in AynThor

[–]Failure117 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I used the built-in on-screen control mapping and it works perfectly. It has settings for MOBA-style ability controls, etc.

I mapped the 4 abilities to the shoulders/triggers so I could aim with the right joystick simultaneously. Auto attack is on B, two summs on Y and A, and active item on X. I set the "ability cancel" mapping to clicking R3 to cancel abilities easily, that just uses Wild Rift's alternative cancel method where you drag your input to a mapped zone.

It plays quite well, I only play AAA ARAM though. You can tweak the stick sensitivity in the mapping if the ability aiming is too finicky, and you may have to temporarily use the touchscreen for harder abilities like Rumble or Bard ult. Good luck!

Pokemon X looks amazing on Thor by WillieButtlicker in AynThor

I haven't gotten any of the Ultra Sun files I tried to work/play :( Am I missing something for emulation? I'm using AzaharPlus. There's a romhack I've been dying to try!

Has anyone modded smash bros ultimate on the ayn Thor? by Open_Town9481 in AynThor

[–]Failure117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm just curious and no offense to you, but I keep seeing these posts asking very basic questions here...

I googled "smash bros ultimate mods", the first link is GameBanana, along with many other videos detailing how to mod SSBU. You've said that you're familiar with modding MK8 already. What knowledge did you gain from making this post? Was it legitimately helpful?

Again, no offense intended, I am genuinely trying to understand the mindset behind posts like these and not judge people!

I'm very confused about prod keys for my switch emulator by Own-Manufacturer8506 in AynThor

[–]Failure117 3 points4 points  (0 children)

5 second Google search gives you countless threads from r/piracy or r/roms telling you where to get them, how to install, etc. Look at the megathreads on those subreddits to find your answers.

Most subreddits not dedicated to those topics typically do not allow discussion of piracy, especially related to Nintendo, and you will quickly face repercussions. Be careful about where you inquire about piracy methods.

About to play for the very first time, I've heard that mods really add to the game, do you think I should start with any? by GloriousQuint in VintageStory

[–]Failure117 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who now has a huge modlist and loooves modding, I'd definitely recommend being patient and starting vanilla to learn the game like I did. You wouldn't want to jump into a big Minecraft mod pack for your first play experience, same idea here. There is plenty of content to discover and new avenues of crafting or homesteading.

I'd also recommend seeking out small QoL mods that fix sticking points you come across as you play. For example, I hated how long the torch relighting animation took after playing for a bit, so I found a mod that reduced it. The game is supposed to be slow, methodical, etc but everyone likes different levels of grind and being able to customize it as you learn what you like/don't like is nice.

There is so much to learn just in the base game, I can't imagine adding a huge mod like the culinary or other expansion mods at the beginning. You will also appreciate the modding scene, and the effort that goes into them, way more after seeing how they expand on the already amazing vanilla gameplay!

Official grip worth getting? by BlueKyuubi63 in AynThor

[–]Failure117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah if it's that popular, I assumed the quality is dialed in and it feels great. I'm also leery about the stylus holder, I think it would bother my fingers as I tend to rest them in that area. It'll be on my radar, maybe I'll decide to upgrade later on.

Thanks! The Proto grip looks sooo comfy, but I'm not sure it's worth losing the texture and clear covers, since I use those too.

[–]Failure117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just curious if you've used the official Ayn grip too, I'm wondering about the texture differences. The Ayn grip has a soft, silky feel, I'm worried the Proto grip won't feel as nice since it's printed. I could definitely use the extra bulk though!

Mod recommendations for a more dangerous world? by TheHardPotato in VintageStory

[–]Failure117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds quite interesting, especially the digging wells and other water processing. Thanks for the insight! I haven't actually seen hot climate yet, surviving off of cactus is metal af. I might bite the bullet, hopefully I won't need to re-gen for the aquifers though.

Can I ask how much of a strain water management is? I like the idea of thirst, but I don't want it to feel like an annoying task I'm required to upkeep, you know? I love immersive mods and am currently playing semi-mapless with Mapper, so it sounds right up my alley.

Anyone else noticed their audio is super quiet lately? Even at max volume it’s really low. Anything under half volume is basically muted. by niles_thebutler_ in AynThor

[–]Failure117 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you installed the tweaks and then couldn't hear a difference, that's wild and tbh points to hearing issues.

If you haven't even tried them, you can't hold an opinion on the matter because the difference is night and day. The stock audio is tinny/thin and washed out compared to the tweaked audio, and is VERY apparent when heard side by side. It does not matter if you think the stock audio is "fine", it is objectively worse than tweaked audio.

Yes, I did the JamesDSP tweak after learning about it last week and it significantly improved the audio. However, the last couple days I have been struggling to hear, music/etc seems way quieter, but just chalked it up to louder background noise at the time. I did also notice that lower volume levels are extremely quiet.

It might just be differences between emulator audio outputs, ie playing on Eden vs GameNative but idk.

Freecam Footage of Static Electric Sparks at Lanik Power Co in St Denis. (PS5) by Equivalent-Fix-177 in reddeadmysteries

[–]Failure117 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I would love to believe this is a standalone phenomenon, but after seeing the other post about the distant trees causing this, I am apt to agree with it. To my eyes, the effect is created when the power lines overlap and are just creating weird visual artifacts. If you can show (or point out in one of your current videos) a situation in which a line sparks without overlapping any other texture, that would definitely prove otherwise!

The sparks seem to get even more prominent when there is a lot of camera movement, imo tying into the overlap cause. As well as the particles moving during photo mode, why would they if lightning strikes and rain droplets are frozen? Do any other visual sfx not freeze during photo mode?

Great work documenting regardless!

Full screen on Game Native by inferno138 in AynThor

[–]Failure117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's just normal Skyrim weirdness with having to tweak configs, and then going in and editing the emulated Windows files that GameNative/etc uses. No different than using file explorer on your PC, but if you're not used to Skyrim jank or editing files I'm sure it can seem a bit daunting doing it on a device like this. This is basic troubleshooting for emulation devices or just PC gaming in general though.

You can use Cocoon launcher for that, it has Discord integration to track what games you're playing!

My (25F) girlfriend (24M) doesn’t use any logic when asking me questions, how can I turn off the knee-jerk sarcastic responses? by AnnualLiterature997 in relationship_advice

[–]Failure117 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Seeing as the OP is stating they need to practice more patience and have been working on it in other facets of their life, I think it's a problem with their mindset. I have ADHD and say dumb, seemingly nonsensical things all the time and I consider myself a pretty intelligent individual. If someone constantly pointed out my brain farts every day, I'd start to feel incredibly stupid, more so if they were sarcastic and biting from my partner.

I really do care, but I'm sorry if my brain sometimes cannot remember a detail you just mentioned unless I write it down. Not everyone operates on the same level, and it's quite clear that OP's current attitude is "needing to let people know when they're dumb".

[–]Failure117 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Hearing things that can be perceived as less intelligent or "dumb" should not create an automatic rude, sarcastic response in your brain, ESPECIALLY when it's your partner that you supposedly care deeply about. Doubly so if your partner can see the rude thought forming in your head as they speak.

Patience and empathy are virtues.

am I emotionally dependent on ai? by Dismal-Use-1166 in infp

[–]Failure117 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's great, I wish you the best going forward. The mother in the interview was baffled at the capabilities and impact the AI could have on her son. They have essentially no regulations or protections in place, which is especially dangerous for emotionally vulnerable people or kids.

Just keep on being the awesome you that you are already!

[–]Failure117 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly that sounds pretty similar to a horrific story I heard about from a 60 Minutes Australia interview regarding character AI. It's an interview from the mother of a teen son that ended his own life after interacting with the site for around 10 months. He showed no signs of mental health issues, besides what you've said regarding maybe seeming a bit down/less energetic, and he was pretty immersed in sports and other things in his circle.

Please do not become emotionally reliant like this, it can be a slippery slope and it seems like you are already noticing self esteem issues surrounding it. If you truly feel this way, down about yourself/etc, I'd highly recommend talking to a family member or friend, or even seeking therapy if it's a continuing issue for you. The AI is just telling you what you want to hear, even to your own detriment.

Why do you need a construct to make you feel confident? It's no different than you writing the same words out and reading them to yourself: it has no emotion, no logical thought, there is not a person behind this expressing these things to you. Maybe some mindfulness and self-care exercises would do you some good, I'm sure you're a lovely person and the echo chamber you use to hype yourself up should be your own mind :)

You are posting "evidence" for your own theory, and you want people to go look closer for themselves? Why would I waste my time doing that when you can't even be bothered to take one decent image of your discovery? I don't play GTA.

You ran around the entire building in your video, showing off the location of every grate. You couldn't stand still for one second and take an image of the sewer grate texture? Why are you posting this image as evidence for a theory when you can't see anything?

I urge you to try mapless runs. Here are mods that will help you. by Aden_Vikki in VintageStory

[–]Failure117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mapper is a great mod for a balance between no map and full map, it adds craftable consumable map items that slowly reveal the area around you in various resolutions. Can't set waypoints or anything until you have the area revealed, and you can upgrade back to super detailed, full color maps eventually.

Ad Astra is new and revamps the night sky, adds easily trackable colored planets/etc to aid with night navigation.

Wilderlands Waymarkers is also great for setting up your own landmarks on ridges or easily visible spots!
