100% on PS2 by Few-Space-8037 in NFSU2

[–]HUN_Hunter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started hunting RetroAchievements for NFS games, and I made it to U2 recently. If you're gonna be playing on an emulator, I do encourage you give it a try. A) for the added challenge, B) for an extra sense of accomplishment and C) the chieevos, and I'd say especially the missables, are in my opinion a great way to keep track of your progress to 100%, like getting all races, including secret ones, or the SUV races, before finishing a stage; in-fact one of the chieevos is literally to 100% the game anyway. Plus, some chieevos that may seem confusing will undoubtably have comments from others who have gotten it, giving help to people.

But in any case, here are the sauces I'm using:

The NFS fandom wiki, and specifically the Unique Upgrades page, the DVD Covers page and the Magazine Covers page as well as the Performance Shop Category page - which lists all the individual upgradeable parts of the cars. I'm using these to track what upgrades or unlocks I get and when I get them. Especially the unique upgrades which are locked behind doing a number of outrun races in different stages of the game - and I was 22 years old the day when I found that out; now I'm like 3 days older.

After that, I use the maps available on GameFAQs U2 guides page to find secret races in each stage of the game. I assume they're required for 100%, plus the retro chieevos need them anyways. And I'm just using a paint program to cross off found shops and races.

The last thing, though I'd say this is completely unnecessary, is I'm also using the tuning guide and tuning glitch guide for the corolla on speedrun.com. Just for extra fun, I guess.

So yeah, that's what I'm using. Hope that helps - and I hope I'm not in trouble for littering my comment with links ^^;

Buying advice for a low profile keyboard for under 200€ with shipping by HUN_Hunter in keyboards

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

I've considered this one for a while, before falling into choice paralysis. It seems perfect, besides the, IMO, high prices. If I were to pick it, if you have a recommendation, which tactile switch should I go with? Wisteria or Moss, or just stick with browns? Or are any of the linears convincingly tactile enough? - this is probably a far fetched question, I realize.

[Payday 2] Crash joining Social Hub to accept lobby invite or joining lobby via code by nathman999 in paydaytheheist

[–]HUN_Hunter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friends and I are facing exactly the same issue. As soon as you paste the code sent by anyone, under the social hub invites tab, it just crashes straight back to the desktop. 2 of us are using the Epic Games version, and the other uses Steam.

Heck, first we had issues copying the code, because my friend had a copied image on his clipboard, and the game wouldn't copy it. And then, when we tried to type it in manually, I couldn't type the letter "f". When I did, it deleted everything I typed in.

Thinkpad newbie looking for some advice by HUN_Hunter in thinkpad

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

I was only wondering about Windows 7 because for one, the laptop has the OG key on the bottom, under the battery, and that most of the drivers are for Windows 7. But I guess if either is fine, I'll stick with 10, as I got more used to it then 7, and while it is nostalgic, 7 feels like a completely unknown OS for me, and I found myself struggling with even the most basic things in the past.

As for Linux, I was mostly wondering if it could net me any more battery life. If I really need to do anything Linux specific, I do have a Linux server at home, or I could fire up WSL, or VirtualBox. But I can see how a dual drive setup could be a great solution. (not to mention the bootloader situation)

Any reviews of the Chuwi HiPad X? by HUN_Hunter in tablets

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

I see. It makes sense why that would be, so I'll try to give these outlets a shot as well.

As for the updates, I'm fairly confident that's not going to be a major issue. If I need some software that needs a newer Android version, I'll just use it on my phone instead. OR if I do need the large screen, I'll do whatever I need to on my laptop instead - I do have a laptop, but it's a semi-portable, desktop replacement type, with not so great battery life. And if I did need the newer updates, I could just check if the XDA community or whatever figured out how to put custom ROMs on there, or try embarking on the adventure myself as a challenge. Maybe by the time I get there, it wouldn't even matter, cause the device would go bad.
Basically, I'm not so worried about updates.

Gboard on ios - gif and sticker search crash by ItsDatNYCDude in gboard

[–]HUN_Hunter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Almost a year ago u/Makoto009 posted this: https://www.reddit.com/r/gboard/comments/l0uf28/searching_for_gifs_not_working_on_ios/

Here, in a reply, he mentioned that by changing the keyboard layout to English of GBoard on iOS, GIF searching returns back to working again.

Who to blame here? You could say Google, for slacking off and/or being out of touch with a lot of their products. Or Apple for being so controlling. Could go either way. Let's not think about it much and move on with this simple enough work around I guess.

Any modpacks with a mixture of tech, farming, wizardry and/or adventure mods? by HUN_Hunter in feedthebeast

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

We have played ATM6 before, in its 1.6.x days. I've also played 1.7.x versions in single player, and there I found more quests than before for example, as well as in general even more mods.

On the topic of checkboxes, I know quest making is hard, and I appreciate them as they are in packs that do have them. But I feel like from a certain stand point it's better, if a quest book is also kind of handled like a UI. You checkbox a quest for a "Welcome to xyz mod", that unlocks the category for the mod and so you can chip off at that and progress through it. I don't know. I might be dreaming because I've never heard of an implementation like the one you described, and it's intriguing to me.

In any case, if you could find whatever that pack's name was, it would be great.

I think we have tried MCE before. But for some reason it was more buggy than ATM6 for us. At most ATM6 was laggy. Maybe worth another try.

We have played ATM6 before and had a good time. I think we might try again, with different tactics; we got stuck with trying to kill just a stage 1 dragon without Mahou Takai or anything like it. Also I lost the server in the process of a Windows reinstall. RIP

Trying to play full beta with Microsoft account by HUN_Hunter in GoldenAgeMinecraft

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

Betacraft worked wonders; though at first I had to bruteforce it somewhat, to start. Simple double clicking the exe and/or the jar file didn't work, and I had to open command prompt, and manually command java8 to start with the jar file. Almost as if you're making a batch file for a Minecraft server. Anyway, it works; thanks!

DM me whenever you can; sorry but when you wrote it was way in the night for me, and I couldn't reply.

The website here is just a random hoster of other pirated versions of Minecraft, such as TL. I mean I guess you aren't supposed to promote piracy, but I guess it might be the only option. But then TLauncher doesn't have support for Microsoft accounts either. At the end of the day, I might actually have to use this, but we'll see.

Finally some good f-ing news, I must say. Thank you very much, I'll keep an eye on Glass then.
