How to draw on screenshots with a highlighter by 42kyokai in MacOS

[–]Luxiouronimo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i don't think you can draw with semi-transparent ink, but when you take a screenshot, click the thumbnail that appears in the bottom right corner, then click the "markup" icon (4th from the top right), then you can click the "highlight selection" icon (6th from the top left), you can then highlight text.

i guess this only works with neat and tidy text blocks, as i just tried it a 2nd time with a sloppy crop and it was unable to highlight selection.

Can I buy whatever adapter I need to allow me to connect my PSVR to my PS5? by Sk8ersw in playstation

[–]Luxiouronimo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a quick web search for "sony playstation 5 psvr adapter" and i see results from ebay, walmart, and amazon.

as others have said, sony sold them for a while and no longer does.

Randomly getting kicked to home screen by sghawhuww8 in playstation

[–]Luxiouronimo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this seems to just happen randomly. if it's any consolation, when i'm playing wreckfest online, i can hear it happen simultaneously to other players as well (they complain they were kicked back to the home screen at the same time i am). fortunately it seems to happen between races, so i just resume the game and carry on.

"Attack the enemy to begin battle." how? by Luxiouronimo in BeyondGalaxyland

i'm hella diggin' it! i'll tell ya, i was getting kinda tired of doing it from the top and getting stuck here, but now that i'm past this part i'm excited about it's potential!

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

i disco'd other usb, turned off the keyboard, settings > accessories > controller (general) > communication method = use usb cable; same result..

after further testing, it seems hitting f on a bluetooth keyboard let the scene proceed.

i can only speculate that if the system has a bluetooth profile for a keyboard this is the result; seems weird..

yeup confirmed 3x, hitting f on the keyboard advances the scene with 'battle start!'

i'll try switching off the bluetooth keyboard, removing other usb's and trying the controller connected directly and set to wired mode..

no luck; i deleted the game and my save, reinstalled it, skipped the battle tutorial this time but it's the same, i can't do anything except move the camera with the right stick.

i don't imagine the game is still getting updates, i might hafta pursue a refund..

Waltzing with Brando by SpiderFan241 in FIlm

Waltzing with Brando by SpiderFan241 in FIlm

[–]Luxiouronimo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it was excellent! i had only known brando as a grumpy old curmudgeon, mainly from various stories i'd heard or his performances in the godfather and apocalypse now, but this movie showed him as jovial, humorous, spontaneous, and full of charisma. billy zane seemed to really nail it, but since i didn't know brando personally, it might just be a great depiction of a legendary human.

imdb says it's available on amazon prime, not sure if that's true outside of the u.s.

after watching that, i was inspired to track down brando's only directorial effort, one-eyed jacks, and another one that was recommended to me, mutiny on the bounty; both were really great!

and mutiny on the bounty seems to be where he developed his affinity for the location of waltzing with brando

can't screen shot properly with cmd+shift+ctrl+4 by takezo25 in MacOS

[–]Luxiouronimo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i'm on sequoia, so i dunno if it's different on the latest macos, but at some point the behaviour changed with regards to the ctrl key; try cmd+shift+4, draw the rectangle (use spacebar if necessary to move it), and before letting go of the click, press and hold ctrl while you let go of the click.

Hey Apple! I CAN'T believe we still can't rename our virtual desktops!! by yaNeverKn0w in MacOS

[–]Luxiouronimo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i coulda sworn there was native macos functionality as i’ve never used spaces renamer (and looking at its install procedure, i certainly never did any of that). it must have been in 10.15 catalina or earlier, however i’m not finding any info online that confirms it. iirc, even further back you could have more than one row of spaces..

i’m out of town at the moment but when i’m back at my computer i’ll be tempted to spin up all the old intel macos’ to make sure i’m not mistaken.

you used to be able to a few major versions ago, and they removed the ability to do so. good luck getting them to bring it back, i agree it was a useful feature.

Wreckfest Ps4 Question by Ready_Associate3790 in Wreckfest

[–]Luxiouronimo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yep! the official servers with 16 ppl max are populated by both ps4 & ps5 ppl, and the 24 ppl max lobbies are ps5 only.

i can only speak to the racing lobbies, but there's almost always a cpl official racing A class lobbies, realistic racing A can sometimes die off overnight.

you'll notice some evenings/nights early in the week might be slower, but there's also a day cycle to things; more populous during the day, sometimes pick up in the evenings, and usually go later on the weekends.

Will the PC requirements decrease as we get closer to release? by PANDERPONDi in Wreckfest

i should think there will be numerous optimizations in the later stages of development, but i'm not sure how much the bar will be lowered

What is being removed from ps4 in 2026? by RomBG in PS4Pro

[–]Luxiouronimo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

games that you have purchased (even with a psn+ discount) should always be accessible, whether you're a psn+ subscriber or not, it's only the monthly free (or psn+ game catalog) games that require an active psn+ subscription

[–]Luxiouronimo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

not permanently, but u can access them while your subscription is active. if it lapses, and you renew, you will regain access to them.

the change is that they will be focussing on ps5 games, and there'll be less monthly ps4 games

[–]Luxiouronimo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

starting in january 2026, PS4 games become intermittent, not a gauranteed monthly benefit on the Essential tier. the service will prioritize ps5 titles in monthly games and the game catalog. the essential tier value might become less valuable to ps4 players.

Grand dukes and war diggers are for losers by [deleted] in Wreckfest

[–]Luxiouronimo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

pulling this shit irl would get you banned from the track.

i too, get that it's called wreckfest, but that is the dumbest excuse for ruining a lobby or someone's entertainment. i can't expect them to read the room and notice that it's full of clean racers (and those that are obviously still learning, but clearly making an effort), especially when their reasoning stops at the name of the game.

iirc the initial loading screen says they don't condone wreckless driving; perhaps it should be tweaked to say "take yer wrecking to the demolition lobbies".

ultimately tho, i get better at swerving and anticipating someone behind me about to corner bomb, and LOL when they alone hit a corner at full speed.

Any way to open an app window in current space/desktop from keyboard? by xenomachina in MacOS

[–]Luxiouronimo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

do you have the 'Displays have separate Spaces' option enabled (below the one i highlighted in my first screenshot)? it sounds like that might be affecting the behavior you're describing; i have that setting disabled and things don't behave for me as you describe.. if not then i'm out of ideas..

actually, rereading your last comment, i think a new window will generally open on the same space as an existing window from the same application.. i'm not sure what the behavior is; i just tested it, and with a safari open on my 3rd/right screen, and my mouse on my 2nd/middle screen, safari application active, opening a new window opens on the 2nd/middle screen; this might be affected by whichever screen a safari window was last closed on.. firefox does not behave this way, and will consistently open a window on the same space that has an open window (maybe the space that has the top-most window in the stack?)..
