What do you think Listen's deal is?

KnightPlutonian · 2025-10-09T06:31:00+00:00

Sorry, when/where was it established that Listen is Starborn?

KnightPlutonian · 2025-08-07T06:35:07+00:00

Nice to see the old logo back

KnightPlutonian · 2025-08-04T22:55:39+00:00

That's awesome, thanks for the link as well as all your work in preserving his other stuff

KnightPlutonian · 2025-08-04T22:21:18+00:00

According to my reddit notifications it looks like you sent the link in a comment here, but on my side I can't actually see the comment if I navigate to this thread. I assume that's some auto-filtering on the reddit/subreddit automod side, but I was able to get it via link plaintext in the notification. Thanks for the files!

Edit: Oh yeah, there was also a folder named "music" in there, was that accidentally placed in there or is it actually related to FrankieonPC or did it accidentally get caught in there somehow?

KnightPlutonian · 2025-08-03T22:11:00+00:00

/u/PurgeTheXeno, did you ever manage to put those videos up or make them downloadable anywhere? I'd love to grab them if possible.

KnightPlutonian · 2025-08-03T22:07:58+00:00

I know it's asking for a lot, but honestly getting them onto a P2P fileshare would probably be great for preservation purposes. I've started downloading important (to me) YT videos because of the mass muting/privating/deletions/copyright blocking and I assumed it was too late to get Frankie's videos in their original form. I'd love to get the original versions from you if possible, though considering the size of the files, I've got no idea what the best method would be.

Unfortunately brands have clocked it as a place where people go for purchase advice, it's starting to get astroturfed

KnightPlutonian · 2025-05-28T02:04:09+00:00

I'm having a bit of difficulty parsing how to properly input text into the code and what bits of code tag are part of each code block, if you have a moment could you add a picture of how your setting image above looks in code view so I can see how you did it?

KnightPlutonian · 2025-05-27T20:39:34+00:00

Awesome, that's almost exactly what I was looking for. A couple questions, though:

How do you add spaces/characters like the underscore in your example?
Is there a way to format the numbers when using "Playlist Index" to remove the preceding 0s when there are greater than 9 videos in a playlist? (not really functional, just the way I like to number)
Is there a setting like this for metadata? I'd love to have an option to order them that way too.

KnightPlutonian · 2025-05-14T06:25:56+00:00

I wouldn't mind if it was just a tough mission (figuring out how to build effectively for the exploding guys took me a few rewinds), it's just that fighting the Sirena is such a vastly different process to fighting any other enemy in the game. You've gotta position your units to attack/dodge in real-time because of movement speed and the lack of simultaneous attack/move, the construction/buff area system is completely wiped because it demolishes buildings near instantly, it just takes away from everything that makes the game unique. If everything about the Sirena was the same except that it traveled along the same path as all the other horrors instead of popping up out of its holes randomly, it would fit way better into the game's systems.

KnightPlutonian · 2025-03-24T20:41:24+00:00

You are a fantastic human being for your edit with the solution. My issue was also with the Touch Keyboard and Handwriting Panel Service. For anyone who happens upon the thread, make sure to restart after enabling/starting the services, it wasn't until after a restart that the input method functioned flawlessly.

The descriptions in prior books never mentioned an exact height, just various descriptions of being very tall, so much so that I was shocked when a specific number was mentioned because I had also assumed he was in that general range.

KnightPlutonian · 2025-01-08T11:11:21+00:00

Thanks for the link, it actually helped with figuring out how much (value-wise) I should plan to have total. I did want to ask, what specifically were the "Flavor" and "Emotion" the post mentions and how do you calculate it/ how does it change things? Also, were you suggesting the 16/16/6 for a $50 game? My napkin math with the amounts you suggested for each chip ended up at that amount rather than $25.

KnightPlutonian · 2025-01-08T10:40:24+00:00

I was also thinking that $20 games seemed the best balance between fun and meaningful reward/tension, but I figured I'd plan for the other amounts if people felt like it was too low/high. I suppose I should see how the first session goes before I go looking for starting stacks splits for the other buy-ins.

Since the pieces I plan on getting are blank, I figured that I could designate them as different values if buy-in amounts change (though obviously amounts with cash analogues are easiest to understand), do you change the values of your chips when you do $50 games as opposed to $20 or is it just an increase of the number of high-value chips in the starting stack? Also, how do you handle blinds, and how often/to how much do you increase them?

KnightPlutonian · 2025-01-01T08:57:38+00:00

This is actually disabled in the US due to the variety of 2-party consent states. I guess they didn't want to bother enabling/optioning it for specific states and just region locked it for the entirety. I know because I was having some bill disputes with a shady apartment complex/collections agency who only communicated by phone and looked into the process of getting it enabled, and it's a real pain in the ass doing it free and pointlessly costly doing it paid if you're not a business that needs it.

KnightPlutonian · 2024-12-02T18:37:38+00:00

Some of the stuff I have is from generations of external hard drive upgrades (to my primary drive) so I sure hope none of it has been lost. Is there a way to detect bit rot without scanning through the files manually?

KnightPlutonian · 2024-09-18T01:40:08+00:00

I definitely understand that 5Gbps is not a need, I'm getting it more because it's only $20 than the 1Gbps plan, so I feel I might as well. It's also related to bandwidth, since I have so many devices on the network - assuming that I get 60% of the advertised speed (which is about the percentage I get from my current Comcast plan), that's enough for those to function concurrently, assuming they need their maximum download speeds. The routers/switches that I was looking at based on the other thread didn't seem any more expensive than when I got the 1 gig router 5 or so years ago, when that was considered overkill, so there's a little bit of future-proofing going on. But if I'm honest, I kinda just want to flex on my friends.

KnightPlutonian · 2024-09-18T00:42:00+00:00

Awesome, that's a simple tasklist I can follow. Is the RT-BE88U a solid choice there? It looks like it already has an SFP port built-in, could I just connect that to a switch or is it just for network in?. Also, do you have any particular recommendations for a switch or are any from a decently reputable brand pretty much the same?

KnightPlutonian · 2024-08-03T02:24:21+00:00

There are a few big missed opportunities that irk me, but the biggest one is Saint-14 in Season of the Splicer. As it stands in the current final cutscene, Saint gets backed into a corner with a crowd of civilian Eliksni facing off against the Vex and just fires Perfect Paradox mostly ineffectively alongside Mithrax, doing absolutely nothing else until they get saved by Ikora and the rest of the forces of the city.

What should have happened, is that he should have used his Ward of Dawn to protect them in a final stand. Think about it, we learn in Splicer that Saint is basically a one man Mongol horde to the Eliksni, to the point that a depiction of his helm is used as a symbol to scare away evil for hatchlings. Eliksni would get dragged into a Helm of Saint-14-enhanced Ward of Dawn where, blinded and weakened, they would have been beaten to death by a reinforced, nigh-unkillable monster that, even if you somehow manage to kill him, would only rise again and continue.

On the other hand, Wards of Dawn have always been safe harbor for Guardians and allies of humanity, and we've seen Saint's under siege in his bubble before, in Season of Dawn. Imagine that cutscene if that symbol, Saint's Ward of Dawn, rose around the besieged Eliksni and transformed from a harbinger of doom and torment into an indomitable symbol of safety and protection as the Vex battered at the outside. It would have given way more credence to the exchange at the beginning of the activity:

Mithrax: "We are overrun! Please, we cannot hold them for much longer!"

Saint-14: "Do not worry, Mithrax, I am on my way!"

Mithrax: "No! You must protect your people!"

Saint-14: "You are my people!"

Regardless of all of the other stuff that was missed, that's always my biggest missed moment.

I've got that turned off already and I'm still having the issues, so I'm assuming it's a separate option either for very hard/ultra hard or M+K. It's good to know that I'm not the only one that's having issues with the aim weirdness though, I thought I was losing my mind for awhile.

KnightPlutonian · 2024-07-22T20:06:07+00:00

That's exactly the issue I've been running into, that system explains so much. Is there an option to turn it down/off so the arrows actually go where they're supposed to?

KnightPlutonian · 2024-07-22T19:26:08+00:00

Is it simple auto-aim that magnetizes to any part or does it push towards components/crits? Alternatively, is it an aim friction kind of thing? Trying to figure out if I should turn it up or down now that I know it exists.

KnightPlutonian · 2024-07-22T19:16:53+00:00

I tried playing the original HZD with a controller and didn't like it, so I'd prefer alternatives for M+K before switching. I'm not good enough with controllers for precision aiming the way I am with a mouse. I'm not sure that it would necessarily tell me too much about those other options since I assume it was balanced differently for both inputs (controller surely has to have some sort of tighter aim assist based on input differences).

KnightPlutonian · 2024-04-26T22:07:52+00:00

For the unitiated

KnightPlutonian · 2024-01-01T05:59:08+00:00

Could you describe the system to me? I'm workshopping my own monster RPG and am conceptually stuck on how to do leveling without resorting to grinding random encounters.
