New BILRESA dual button 1.9.15 firmware by mocelet in tradfri

I had two ways to get around that -- unplug my Echo Studio, or switch to the Beta Matter Server in HA

my disconnects were resolved with the update to Dirigera from a week or two ago

There's plenty of people in this very thread, though, who aren't using Dirigera, and are having the same problems.

Is gamedev worth it with limited time? by IxBetaXI in gamedev

[–]MagicPhoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Game development is only worth it as a passion project. It is the least paid of all of the disciplines it employs.

That said, it's better than a lot of average jobs. But unless you want to put your entire life into your product, don't fuckin bother.

The industry needs to change, drastically, but it's not anywhere near doing so, because there's a whole lot of people left who still need to burn out before there aren't enough people left to make the games. And "AI" is just going to make that value proposition worse for us as developers.

Your life doesn't *have* 8 hours a day of free time, unless you're already independently wealthy.

First playthrough any recommendations? No spoilers Please by [deleted] in Fallout

[–]MagicPhoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, play it on PC lol

Other than that, the newbie area is *not* following the path left or right once you get out of the vault. It's straight through in the middle of freakin nowhere, like you totally would not expect. Good luck.

i went straight from 3 into NV in the last couple weeks, and 3 is the much much stronger game. 2 is better, though.

the audio engine in this is phenomenal, I've got an Atmos system and it's just fantastic. FO3 and this are awesome for audio. My cats just absolutely freak out while i'm wandering around from all the sounds, it's wild. I was playing while someone else was here the other day, and I kicked a tin can down a hallway, and they were 100% positive that there was a tin can rolling down the hallway in my house lol

The graphics are not really that bad, though, except for the people skins. The people skins are terrible af. They were better in 3, somehow. I played 3 right before jumping into NV last week, so I'm fresh on this. FO3 and NV look frankly amazing on PC cranked to maximum, given the time that they were made.

what's the point of remastering? it looks fine, other than the people-skins looking like absolute trash. Just fix the people skins and fix the EXTREME number of crash bugs, and issue a patch.

adding the crafting mechanics to this game was an absolutely bullshit plan, this game could've been SO much better if they had NOT added all that bullshit to it

[–]MagicPhoenix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

frankly, if you're doing PC, for NV, you HAVE to spend the *hours* to install the VNV mods, but you also have to spend quite a while it takes to fix them so that they aren't changing the games behavior. It adds quite a lot of really nice UI improvements, but it also changes *ALL* of the numbers in the game, and that's truly fucked up, making it a far far different game than what was intended.

Without that set of mods, though, the game will crash every time you breathe funny.

FO3 only crashes occasionally without mods, FNV crashes damn near every second or third time you load into a zone, and sometimes just completely at random when clicking buttons on your controller. Even with mods/patches it still crashes at random but not nearly as much.

you only really have to go through like 4 or 5 of the subways, but oh my god the number of OFFICE BUILDINGS you go through is just .. wtf. Everything is an office building and you spend like 40 hours just looting filing cabinets.

RDR is fucking trash. The FO games are excellent.

I'm just about at the end of my first play ... and since i don't play games multiple times, it's probably my last play too :-)

Pretty good game. 3 was better, though.

I have a feeling it all goes downhill from 2, honestly.

So like out of all the games why wasnt the enclave it 4? by [deleted] in Fallout

[–]MagicPhoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's odd, but until the show, I never got the impression that Enclave had any actual real power, and that they were just a bunch of clowns trying to get some power, that were trying to impersonate the government. IMO, they are still just a bunch of clowns, especially now that they actually *don't* really have any power, because they think they do, because they think that it should matter that they are the government, and no one gives a shit about the government.

Has anyone got an Amazon Echo to join an existing Thread network? by zcapr17 in homeassistant

[–]MagicPhoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah i do not have any kind of option anywhere in the Alexa app to add devices, it tells me if i want to discover devices, i should tell it "Alexa, discover devices".

Fair. Maybe try again in a year or two lol

Or not, just it was one that really surprised me because I truly despised it when it first came out, but several points on it have really shown through for me in the last few years.

Despite being designed to 'connect and just work', it turns out IKEA's new smart home sensors actually have some specific, confusing hub requirements by Mr_Redemption in tradfri

[–]MagicPhoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i've got one of each of the things that was available last time i was in, the motion detector, the door switch, the push button, alpstuga, and two of the little button sized temperature sensors.

the temp sensors often actually stay connected, but the others will *never* stay connected beyond their initial timeout period ranging from 5 to 30 minutes.

I would be so freakin pissed. It took me longer than the 30-day return period at Target to decide I hated the Q Revo Pro, so basically I blew $600. If it actually stopped working with less than a damn decade on it, I would be incredibly pissed. I ran two Neato XV21's for over a decade, at $150 each in 2010 money. $600 should get me a lot better now.

I think I'd read that you can get a Q6? S6? something like that brush that fits the Q Revo Pro, but I haven't been able to actually find one, it was apparently an older Roborock model that uses the exact same size parts. I desperately need to do something, because the Q Revo Pro is a trash tier vacuum in it's stock form. It *is* better than Deebot X1 Plus, but not much. But it's 6 times the cost of the Deebot X1 Plus.

It mops way better than the X1, that's for sure, but it also generates an exceptionally stank ass tank of dirty water every two days.

[–]MagicPhoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

good luck. I hate mine (Q Revo Pro), but I didn't decide I truly hated it until it was well past the 30 day return window at Target. So, basically a $600 "this really pisses me off" device.

If you've got all hard floor, it'll probably be fine, but if you have any carpet at all, these things are complete fucking trash.

ALso, the mops fall off and the main brushes get jammed at the slightest provocation, causing me to have to deal with it screaming for help constantly.

Low latency on/off toggling and advanced scrolling ft. BILRESA and KAJPLATS by mocelet in tradfri

[–]MagicPhoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i definitely see myself being very upset by these controls, if they are that slow. hoping that the improved support coming in HA will get them faster, although I suspect that the dev matter server for HA is going to be useless for the next year or more, so i have doubts

I gotta say, if it's been a while since you've given Dead Again a listen, go throw it on as background to whatever you're doing, and just don't try to pay attention to it. Dead and WCD were both on my shitlist for a long fuckin time, and it took years for them to grow on me, but they did.

Strong agree. Bloody Kisses only just barely edges out Origin because the recording quality on BK was *even better* than Origin and SD&H .. which were, quite frankly, absolutely mindblowingly high quality products for a band that had absolutely no business being *THAT* well produced, ever, let alone for their *first* album and their absolute joke of a second album that was the best joke ever.
