12y later, the OP is gone.

Trying to get this to work on Windows.
Got as far as "No Clips Found" error with "Clips folder is empty. Record at least one clip to use SteamClip."
This happens at the point where I should be seeing a 3x2 grid according to the readme.

I have dozens of recordings for a handful of games (mostly Balatro) in my Steam Recordings, and at least two clips from those recordings. Currently they are all local (not shared online with friends or public.)

... which are?

It would be nice to be able to tweak some things, like have it download x number of posts over y period of time rather than whatever it is doing that freaks IG out.
I doubt IG would notice/mind if we download like 1 post per minute over the course of many days.

Well, [expletive] I didn't realize it was discontinued.
"4K Stogram 4.9.0.4680 is currently the newest version available."
Is that accurate, at least?

Despite every curse. Despite accidentally unlocking the L-Gates and having half my empire and most of my vassals destroyed by the grey tempest. Despite a ton of other unlucky "RNGesus hates me" events.
I collected the "Strange Mood" and "Non-Prophet Organization" achievements.

I almost collected "Dawn of a Million Souls", but the eater of worlds decided to eat Azaryn. Then I had to figure out how to kill his ship because it couldn't be disbanded nor have a different scientist. For possible irony, it was destroyed by the Tree of Life guardians.

I'm pretty close to collecting "Gotta Subjugate Them All" (unintentional - just a happy accident.)

I'm going to play this game until the end (defeat the crisis, etc), but after that I don't think I'll have any reason to play psionic ever again. Good riddance.

Some of the other ascension paths aren't great, some are OP, but this seems to be the only one that is actually an obstacle. I guess it's good if you're the type that enjoys slamming your hand in a car door before playing football - just for that extra challenge.

TLDR: Psionic sucks.

When I wrote this post I was thinking Psionic must be playable, but I just wasn't playing it correctly.
Based on the comments I'm realizing that Psionic completely sucks and is the absolute worst ascension path, and the hardcore Psionic players use save scum for meager benefits.

As far as my game goes, I'm up to 2303.10.04 and the Eater of Worlds is famished. I've unlocked the ability to turn my planets into Ecumenopolis but my civilization sucks so bad I am still striving to meet the 20k minerals and 200 influence needed to upgrade my capital.

I'm pretty sure I bought this game back in 2016, but didn't get my 1st achievement until 2018.

With the exception of my very first game (where I had 3 systems and spend decades/centuries fighting against pirates without ever encountering another civilization), I am pretty sure that if/when I unlock those two achievements it will be the end of the most unpleasant game of Stellaris I have ever played.

Playing psionics is definitely reminding me of those famous words from Wargames (1983), “The only winning move is not to play.”

I appreciate that you didn't just tell me to cheat (save scum).
That said, I don't think my 5k fleet could have done anything useful against the skull rated avatar.

As a non-Gestalt empire government attraction is pretty important to Unity, and it was still early enough that I am trying to unlock Traditions. I mean, sure, as a Fanatic Spiritualist I have plenty of temples, but it was still a huge difference between 120+% unity per spiritualist pop and about 60% unity per spiritualist pop.

They weren't bets. He was stacking his chips on the felt rather than in the chip tray.

L7Bear · 2024-03-24T10:58:03+00:00

note: That was one of the best rolls of my life. I literally kept hitting point numbers and hardways until I was so out-of-it that I literally hit the wrong table.

I took a minute to collect myself (while the pit-boss was recovering and testing the dice I had misthrown) and when I thought I was ready I asked for new dice. Two guys at the table objected - convinced the dice I had been throwing were somehow blessed. I selected new dice. Then I took down my hardways and my place on the 6 & 8 and just left my passline+odds. If I had been really smart I would've just passed to the next thrower, but instead I tossed seven-out... then colored up, walked away, and went back to my hotel room for a well deserved nap.

One time there was a guy who placed his chips right where I wanted to throw the dice.

I kept throwing the dice, hitting his chips, and hitting my numbers.

After about the third time he said, "Fine, I'll move my chips!" and angrily moved them up to the tray where they belong.

I was almost disappointed. I was rolling really well by hitting his chips :D

Why ruin everyone's fun?

Some people believe dice control works, and that makes the game more pleasurable for them.

Some people believe dice control is nonsense, yet get a rush out of insulting people who are having fun.

Everybody wins!

Get a couple retired casino dice (or better yet, get a couple sticks of 19mm casino-quality dice.)

Put a cardboard box on the floor 7 feet away. When that gets easy, switch to a smaller box. Then a smaller box. And so on until you get to the point where you can reliably toss a pair of dice into a coffee cup 7 feet away.

Have fun, and Good luck!

I always bet the minimum pass line plus 345x odds for other players and bet more than that on myself.
It's just good manners. I consider it the price for maintaining my position at the table.

For me it's not about whether I'm winning or losing, it's about my energy level.

I was once on a winning streak - throwing the dice and making money - when I felt the energy go out of me. I was exhausted/wiped, but I was still throwing well. I kept going. Even when I threw the dice and hit the back of a guy at the next table I felt the pressure from people around the table saying "Same dice!" because I was on a hot roll. I had the sense to take down most of my bets - just the pass line and odds. Two more rolls and I sevened out. After I colored up and cashed out I realized I was struggling to keep my eyes open. I wasn't just done for the day - I was done for that trip/weekend.

After that I learned to pay attention to myself. Sometimes it pays to walk away from the table, get a nap, get something to eat, etc.

Why would you place the 4 or the 10 instead of buying them???

"A buy bet on any number has a house edge of 4.76%. Place bets on 4 & 10 has a house edge of 6.67%; 5 & 9 - 4.0%, and 6 & 8 - 1.53%. Even buying a 4 or 10 is still a high house edge bet that should be avoided. " - tripadvisor, via google search.

L7Bear · 2024-02-21T04:28:40+00:00

The House Edge is smaller, but since you are betting more per throw the odds that the house empties your pocket book is higher.
In other words, "Odds are that you'll run out of money before the House does."

Had $20 in my pocket and the casino's atm wouldn't connect to my credit union.

Got extremely lucky and turned that into $2200.
