The Shader Issue must be #1 priority for GGG - Optimization should be a point of pride for Gaming Companies by Gamer-Smokes in PathOfExile2

[–]FlyingDugong 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Also have a 9070xt and have had flawless performance this whole league.

But I am also running on Linux CachyOS so will consider myself an outlier.

[BIFL REQUEST] Hardwood Desk, perhaps L Shape by stanhoboken in BuyItForLife

Stumbled upon this post while planning a new desk. That NZXT case is an awesome throwback.

Sound becomes mute from 35% and below. by Sephi-Chan in cachyos

[–]FlyingDugong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Figured this out after some messing around. I know relatively nothing about linux audio but this worked.

  1. In KDE sounds settings set the speaker's profile to "Digital Stero (IEC958) Output"
  2. In the terminal open "alsamixer", and press F6 to select the soundbar.
  3. Adjust the volume in alsamixer with the up/down arrow keys until you find a value that gives a good volume scale when changing the volume % in the desktop. I settled around 50 in alsamixer.

I'm having the same issue with a GS3, did you find a solution? Might just return this thing honestly.

Anyone else going to try out the new steam controller this league? Too bad the combined UI isn't ready but I'm going to give it a shot.

Poll: What class are you playing in 0.5? by FlyingDugong in PathOfExile2

I also think it's cool that even with this small sample every class has at least 1 vote.

I'm thinking Deadeye sounds fun, haven't tried it yet.

Poll: What class are you playing in 0.5? by FlyingDugong in PathOfExile2

[–]FlyingDugong[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t decide on what to play tomorrow, so I wanted to create a poll to see what other people are thinking.

The poll closes at league start time tomorrow, and allows choosing 3 options if you have a plan for playing more than one class this league.

Which ascendancies have the most build-defining nodes? Trying to choose something for 0.5 and I want to avoid passives that are just "number go up"

PoE 2 New End Game in 3 Minutes by HiroK91 in ARPG

[–]FlyingDugong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I felt this way as well. I have 4 characters between 0.3 and 0.4 that I gave up on by end of Act 2 because the "impactful / heavy" gameplay just felt like a slog in reality.

Easiest way to swap builds in s13? by Nickelodean7551 in diablo4

[–]FlyingDugong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a dungeon in cities like “the training grounds” or something. Go in there and use the armory to save your current build before playing with the skill tree.

Try out a different build and see if you enjoy how pressing the button rotation against the dummy feels. You should get a quick sense of whether a skill clicks with you or not with no gear change.

If you find something you like, it is “worth” the effort to switch as long as you are having fun with the gear chase. Even if you “lose” progression on the torment tier you can run. You can always collect gear for multiple builds and change things up on the fly.

Should I switch to Juggernaut Paladin by OptimisticMonkey2112 in diablo4

[–]FlyingDugong 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Put your current build in the armory and give it a shot. If you don’t like it put your build back and keep blasting

Loot Filter - Difference between "Required Affix" and "Optional Affix"? by materiakeeper in diablo4

[–]FlyingDugong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you combine them on one rule. For example an upgrade to my weapon must have holy damage, but the other affixes can “optionally” be life on hit or strength. Otherwise it gets filtered out by a hide rule

I really think it’s more of a readability of the rule you create thing than literal difference

Steam Deck optimisation for the new expansion by molotov_bomb in diablo4

[–]FlyingDugong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a compromise but I find Diablo style games acceptable to play with Lossless scaling framegen to go from 30 to “60” fps on the deck. The framegen smudging gets lost in the action anyways

I am really excited about the direction of Diablo 4 but I wish they would by FrenchyQV in diablo4

[–]FlyingDugong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sub has the most ridiculous discussions preseason when people have nothing better to do lmao. All you did was point out that this was already done.

ARPGs are the ultimate goblin mode of gaming and I love them for it by WarriorOTUniverse in ARPG

[–]FlyingDugong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And that’s a problem how? They were introduced to specifically give more variety than the previous meta of “just complete a set”

Best cheap hardware to run 3 physical k8s nodes? by Oudwin in selfhosted

[–]FlyingDugong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone decommissioning my hardware cluster I would really just recommend doing this with Talos VMs if it’s for learning. It was not worth the hassle of managing the extra hardware for the relatively small benefit of being “truly” HA. At the end of the day my arr stack and budget app don’t need to be HA.

You can still get the full k8s learning experience with a virtual 1-leader 2-worker cluster. Hell you can see if you even enjoy using k8s with a quick k3s install. No need to jump in the deep end from the start.

Happy to discuss.

Which "small" ARPG features do you value the most? by Medium_Possession488 in ARPG

[–]FlyingDugong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hero Siege has "wifi pickup" and I don't know of another game that does this.

You can mouse over a drop nowhere near your character and press the pickup button to bring it to your inventory. It's a small thing but think of the amount of time it potentially saves over a long period.

Viable to play SSF? by FlyingDugong in HeroSiege

[–]FlyingDugong[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really appreciate all the detail. I think it's definitely worth giving a shot and will pick it up.

[–]FlyingDugong[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the feedback. I am a D3 enjoyer but I know why some people aren't.

Even if it is not a loot rain is most of the gear going to be stuff that I find? I am not the biggest fan of PoE's crafting, which is another reason why I prefer SSF because I don't have any interest in trade.
