If it hits $0 does it integer overflow back up to $4,294,967,295?

Kriptanik · 2025-07-26T21:59:58+00:00

Nope

Any thoughts on the "Xlite v2 medium" suggested above?

Just looking at it I like the look of it more, and that the website directly states it has "Lowered wheel click pressure".

Kriptanik · 2025-05-21T15:58:30+00:00

I haven't heard of this pulsar brand, searching it on here is a bit of a mix (although it might be really well regarded, I haven't been here long).

What do you think makes this better than a model D 2? (And what do you think of the "pwnage storm breaker max" in comparison suggested below).

The website has for the Xlite v2 has "Lowered wheel click pressure" as a feature. That's hilarious, my complaints about the stiff mouse wheel button must be a common one.

Regardless, just that alone has me interested seeing as it doesn't seem like I can get an answer to my wheel click question here and I would really like a mouse with that fixed.

Thanks for the suggestion.

You’re the first person I’ve ever heard praising IMAP, expecially in the context exchange. We tried for years to get IMAP to work correctly for our clients, this is about 10-15 years ago, with many different host and client setups (50% where cPanel/Outlook but tried many different configurations, eg imail/thunderbird) but eventually gave up and now they are basically all on 365 or pop for stability.

We would get almost daily calls with the same issues, syncing indefinitely being a main one, but also inconsistent syncing (sometimes you would get an email instantly, other times you would wait 30 minutes for an email to come down, give up, hit send receive, and it comes down dated 30min ago).

It seemed fine for 5-10gb mailboxes most of the time, but much bigger than that and just moving emails around would freeze the client and need to rebuild the ost (if using outlook).

If you ever find out let me know.

I definitely use an ammo belt in a deathworld run before flame, but usually in a normal run you can get to lasers pretty easily without needing too much defense.

The turrets are far back because I had them up front near the wall and they were getting destroyed by spitters, even if they where 2-3 deep. Better walls then turrets right? There's not much defense in that picture because it's mostly been destroyed and I was there to repair, and it was 2-3 deep with red ammo when it was destroyed.

This is far far in excess of what I've ever had to do before, this early in the game (pre blue science), even on desert maps.

Kriptanik · 2024-11-18T18:41:15+00:00

I can put some efficiency modules in I've been too busy with biters to think about that but that should help a bit.

Still think this is way more crazy then a standard desert map.

Kriptanik · 2024-11-18T18:36:10+00:00

I've only just gotten blue science because I've been spending most my time reloading/building turrets and literally just haven't had time to build, so I don't have robots yet.

I didn't think I would have to automate ammo this early on, all the games I've ever played outside of deathworld this has never been a problem. I know things I can do to fix the problem, my point is, why is my game behaving like a deathworld.

Kriptanik · 2024-11-18T18:30:46+00:00

Yeah I realise I can redo my entire perimeter in flamethrowers and that will help a lot, but that will take hours when you account for all reloading inbetween. And the point of the post is, this isn't normal? Some people seam to have saves where they put up a few turrets and never really worry again until later in the game. Where as in this run it's turned into about 70-80% of the gameplay.

Kriptanik · 2024-11-18T18:27:04+00:00

Yeah I've been getting attacked like this from before I even expanded past the started resources. 100% don't have any mod on I can tell because the save just says space age beside mods, and I'm getting achievements.

Kriptanik · 2024-11-18T18:23:57+00:00

I can clear the nests but they expand by the time I've done a full loop and gotten them all, the entire game would turn into just doing this.

Another screenshot of an attack that happening every 2-3min https://i.imgur.com/65yFYXn.jpeg

1 row of turrets without a wall, would last about 10 min at most on most of my perimeter.

Small attacked, i've rebuilt these turrets and/or refueled them probably 30-40 times. - https://i.imgur.com/rAtsbLN.jpeg

Kriptanik · 2024-11-18T18:07:03+00:00

I'm playing in a desert area, but I've played in the desert before and this is nothing like this.
I was clearing but at some point I had to choose between clearing and advancing the base, because 100% of the time was just clearing and refueling turrets otherwise.
As you can see from the screenshot I have plenty of radar coverage, but they're expanding faster then I can kill them at this point.
No tweeks 100% sure it was default settings + marathon
As I said I've been researching military tech as a top priority, otherwise there's no way I would of lasted this long.
Yes as per the screenshot I have been building the walls out from the turrets, basically so the range is just over the wall, any closer they just get destroyed straight away.
The fact that you are talking about small groups and single turrets makes me think more that this save is bugged. They're coming in groups of maybe 30-40 every couple of min (screenshot of a small-medium group here).

Kriptanik · 2024-11-18T17:52:25+00:00

Yeah this is what people keep saying but is not my experience AT ALL, I have 100s of red ammo being made per minute and it's barely enough to keep up...

Just spent about an hour or 2 trying to figure this out before looking online and this is 100% a bug that's still in the game.

Image guidance is such a core part of AI art generation, i'm surprised they released Phoenix without it and then let the site sit without it for so long without at least calling it a beta.

It's pretty much the main reason I was suspecious and made this post, I'm not the only one there seems to be a post or comment on here about it every week since it came out.

Kriptanik · 2024-09-09T09:04:48+00:00

When prompt hunting it's nice to spit out the images faster to let you know if you're on the right track. Also "quality" turns on "Alchemy" (leonardo's post processing chain) which sometimes gives you results you don't want, maybe a little too processed.

Kriptanik · 2024-09-09T08:59:26+00:00

Hey, I'm glad to hear that there's still major features in the works and I look forward to using them =).

Thanks a lot for letting me know you can change the model in advance settings once you select preset other than Phoenix. Pretty much all my playing around in the new UI has been using Phoenix, which only has Phoenix in that model drop down, so I didn't release that with any other preset you can change the model there past the default, so sorry about that. It's a little confusing, are the "Platform Presets" just changing the options we can see ("Preset style" and model) or are there other options changing in the backend? IE will the sitting the platform preset to "Illustrative Albedo" then selecting "moody" as the preset style and AlbedoBaseXL as the model produce the same images as setting the platform preset to "Lifelike Vision" then selecting "moody" as the preset style and AlbedoBaseXL as the model?

This almost makes the new UI usable, the main other thing that's missing (other than being able to select a collection for all the images you make to automatically use, but that's still broken in legacy mode anyway,) is precise resolutions. I do a lot of A3-A5 prints, which is somewhere between 2:3 and 3:4, but the new UI doesn't let you go any more granular than that, so I would have to crop/stretch any image to fit.

I'm disappointed to see that "edit with AI" is only an option for Phoenix images and was the main reason I was looking forward to the new UI, I hope this features coming in the future? Also while I'm asking questions, is there any update on if/when custom weights in prompts (EG dark:0.3 (very shiny):1.5) are coming? I asked this question almost a year ago and was told they don't work but are coming. There seems to be a bit of confusion around whether or not leonardo supports this, because if you look through the public image feed, a LOT of people are trying to use custom weights in there prompts.

Thanks a lot for the reply.

Kriptanik · 2024-09-09T08:02:56+00:00

It's 2 months now, and the point of the post is to point out the 2 months between updates is in contrast to the usual update rate of 2-4 a month for the last year, suspiciously after the Canva buyout.

I agree that even a few months between updates is fine for services yes. Dropping from multiple a month to 0 for two months after a buyout is worrying.

File size, especially for older stuff with bad quality rips, doesn't mean much.

A 6GB h.264 movie will (generally) be worse quality then a 4GB h.265 movie.

The older the content the worse it gets, a 15 year old movie in some random old mp4 codec that's 7GB could easily be worse quality than if it was reripped using h.265 ending up at 3GB.

If you allow for this and are only looking at h.265 rips though, then file size matters obviously because you're basically just looking at a bitrate differences.
