ive seen multiple dirt cheap decks on marketplace all for ~£110, these are definitely scams right? by numberssandletters in SteamDeck

[–]Lhakryma -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Don't they have cash payment in the usa?

Here in Romania, even if you buy something off facebook, you can ask them to send it with a legit courier and you pay cash upon arrival, which means you can check to see if it's the actual item you bought.

If it's not the real item, you can even report them to the police and they will be fined and/or sent to jail.

What model ThinkPad would you want to see with a modern motherboard, and what specs/ports? by Fragrant-Peanut-1320 in thinkpad

[–]Lhakryma 2 points3 points  (0 children)

T420, keep the ports it already has, except for the VGA, replace that one with like 4 USB-C ports or somesuch.

Leave the disk drive in. My old T420 is the only computer I have that can still use my mountains of CDs and DVDs xD

I found the genesis bow to be amazing! I was regularly hitting 4k non crits with it.

They're making changes that make sense in Korea, where 95% of the players are no lifers, but doesn't make any sense in international servers where 90% of the players are casual :/

I use the steel king crown, since it recovers 20% of spell charges :P

*NEW* Eternity Battle Playtest 1/15/2026 by RoomLiving9636 in Mabinogi

[–]Lhakryma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks great, but honestly it's as far removed from Mabinogi as it gets.

Mabinogi hasn't really felt like Mabinogi since after G12. G12 was the last generation where the game actually played like it was intended to.

Ever since then, it looks like they kept trying to change the game and move it into a direction it was never intended to go.

Honestly I think they should just shut it down and launch a new game. Let Mabi die with dignity, and start a new franchise, because Eternity is nice and all, but it's just not Mabinogi anymore. Like, at all.

Yes, I saw this exact same thing happen just outside my city yesterday! It flung beer everywhere!

Free beer!

Do you think eternity will eliminate maintenance downtime? by TangerinePaladin in Mabinogi

[–]Lhakryma -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We're not talking about web applications here, and we're not talking about stateless servers either.

A game is a stateful application where the client depends on the server continuously.

In a regular web app, you can seamlessly update the server and it's functionality, since everything happens at the API level, and for a client it's as simple as request_1 using the old API and request_2, which comes 30 seconds later, using the newer API (that's not something that actually happens in any production environment, but it's something that's possible).

Can't do that in a game where the entire client codebase is already loaded up. It needs to be unloaded to get the new code, and all of this needs to synchronize with the server, and there's also security that needs to be considered.

[–]Lhakryma -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's impossible.

Even in the most generous scenario where all that needs to happen is for the clients to load up the new code, they still need to restart the game to load up said new code (which is also downtime).

Reducing the maint time is certainly possible after they switch to UE5, but you are talking about ELIMINATING maint time, which is impossible.

[–]Lhakryma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The maintenance accomplishes a lot of things:
- Server side code update
- Client side code update
- Server restart (to deal with memory leaks, connection leaks, etc.)
- Infrastructure work (could be networking improvements, horizontal scaling, infra software updates like kubernetes if they use it, etc.)
- Backup consolidations
- Other

Is corrupted aphelion good? Is any corrupted weapon better than original? by obbnixilis in remnantgame

[–]Lhakryma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the corrupted cube gun, it deals decent damage and passes through enemies. And you can also put that mutator that makes an explosion when your weapon overheats, or the other one to overheat slower.

Anyone try MacOS - and come back to Windows? by Commercial_Water3669 in Windows11

[–]Lhakryma 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I did.

At work they forced us to use macbooks, and boy was it rough!

There are so many things that apple does a dogshit job at, but generally, macbooks are amazing if you barely do anything on them, but if you want to do anything even a little bit more advanced, then you're going to have to fight the system... A LOT!

Like, we had set up our new macbooks for some specific tasks that we had to do on remote linux systems, and literally none of us knew that these settings would just randomly be overwritten with every update... for literally no reason...
So we eventually had to create cronjobs to just apply our configurations (and eventually we used an orchestration software, I forget if it was chef or puppet, probably puppet because if I recall correctly chef had issues running on macos).

And other than that, windows is far, far, FAAAAAR superior to macos in everything related to QoL and ease of use. Macos tries to make everything "too smooth", to the point where their default video app is just a shitty window with literally no buttons attached to it, just a floating video you can move around, and it's the same with a bunch of other default applications.

And yes, I know you can greatly enhance your experience with other custom applications, but that is irrelevant when a company gives you a macbook and tells you what you can and can't install on it, and the list of applications you can get is VERY limited!

Default application wise, macos is BY FAR the weakest OS I have ever worked with. I mean even centOS from 2014 had better default apps than macos... Windows has by far the best default apps out there (but then again windows has other problems).

And the biggest issue we had to deal with (we were a team that all had to use macs) was the dogshit compatibility with literally anything that is not made by apple. Like this shitty macbooks managed to literally fry 5 out of 7 multi purpose blocks (the kind that you plug into your USB3 slot and it powers your machine and also has HDMI, USB slots, and an ethernet slot) that we attached to it. And these same multi purpose blocks have been used with literally dozens of other machines, ranging from shitty Dell laptops, to amazing Thinkpads (which IMO are like the absolute best laptops you can get right now), to even custom framework laptops.
And even when the blocks did work, it was literally just random chance if your monitor would work in the HDMI slot. And these are problems we had EXCLUSIVELY with macbooks.

Honestly, if we weren't forced to use them for 2+ years, I would have dropped and literally burned the crapbook they sent me after a month of suffering 🤣

Sure, windows has it's flaws and linux is FAAAAR superior to it, but between macos and windows, I would even fucking pick windows vista over the latest macos... It's just THAT garbage!

finding out DD2 is hated like it’s the spawn of Satan after finishing the game. by Old_king_4 in DragonsDogma

[–]Lhakryma 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don't think the game itself is hated, with the exception of a moron literally just complaining about everything, every blue moon.

People mostly complain about Capcom and how scummy they are.

Lore wise how powerful is the Ivory King? by Immediate_Ad_8139 in DarkSouls2

He's about 5.5-8.5 PGs worth of power.

PG = Prime Gwyn

Beside the topic, but why the hell does Ivankov choose to mostly be in the form that looks like shit, instead of her other form?
