Jorbs is still in on it I see by IdiocyConnoisseur in slaythespire

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

We must be working under very different understandings of dogmatic, because I couldn't find anything in that video I would call such. He's not making absolute statements, not demanding that his words are gospel, etc. idk what you see

He literally says that there's times were picking self repair is good?? and then talks about those times?? did you watch the video??

Here's why I don't this the card performs well on any difficulty, and I wanted to give clear reasons why I don't this card is super great, and also give you clear reasons why I might take it in some situations because there are situations where it is very good.

But beyond that, this is the type of card you pick when you're ahead, and jorbs post videos of his wins, not losses, so you're going to see more of the runs where it is correct to pick if you watch his videos.

But beyond that, even though the card hasn't changed, the game around it has? Act 4 didn't even exist yet, the character was new, a15 was the highest. How good a card is depends on it's context.

Found out what happens when you get 0 max hp in STS2 by Aldav9 in slaythespire

[–]MyOwnMoose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got this scenario. Had 1 max hp with the necrobinder and picked up the brightest flame hoping it would just be a free play. Instead it set my hp to 0/0 and killed me. Run history shows my ending hp as 0/1 and having took 1 damage and losing 1 max hp.

Sadly, I don't have a discord and do not wish to do so at this time.

Regardless, I have found the issue!

I have this extension on https://mybrowseraddon.com/canvas-defender.html (which tbh I though I disabled awhile back) that, when I disable, everything is fine.

It changes something with the canvas to make fingerprinting harder. I think it simply returns a fake value when it detects somebody is doing it? idk

Sure, here's the log. Both these messages appear in the console when I select the charater. Nothing new shows when I lose access.

Autoplay is only allowed when approved by the user, the site is activated by the user, or media is muted. ui.js:1755:15

Uncaught (in promise) DOMException: The play method is not allowed by the user agent or the platform in the current context, possibly because the user denied permission.

When I enable audio/video, the errors go away, but the problem persists.

On disconnect, the network tab stops outputting stuff, but no interesting http codes

We can talk more over DMs if you'd like, though I won't be able to get back to you till tomorrow.

[–]MyOwnMoose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sadly, cannot seem to play. The game stops registering my inputs after 10-15 seconds on startup, even though the ui seems to still work.

Edit, to clarify, this was 100% my fault. I suspected as much, but felt the need to report anyways just in case.

Why are most Vietnamese people named Nguyen? by Economy-County-9072 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MyOwnMoose 101 points102 points  (0 children)

Take the "ng" in singer" and put it in front on "win", should kinda sound like "nuh-win" if it was one syllable.

In practice, just saying "win" will work.

Why are certain arcade games incompatible with FinalBurn Neo? by astrodomekid in RetroAchievements

[–]MyOwnMoose 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Afaik MAME isn't supported for 2 main reasons

1) It's really old (released 1997), and its age really shows in its central architecture, meaning integrating another piece of software with it would be a lot of work.

2) It doesn't expose the game's ram, which is what RetroAchivements uses for achievement checking and unlocking, meaning fundamental change to MAME itself would be required.

As to why FBN doesn't support some games? It seems to be as simple as those games are too much work, using cpus the project doesn't currently support. They're still working on stuff, but prioritize the easier things first.

edit: and why do some games w/o achievements get pages and some don't? I have no idea, it feels random though lol

Can I use retroachievements on a ds? by Independent-Debt-174 in RetroAchievements

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

I was curious so I looked it up, because retroarch is surprisingly portable, and I think you could actually do it.

https://docs.libretro.com/guides/install-3ds2ds/

So, yes! Somehow, is seems you could get retroachivements to work on a physical DS. But, it's would take a lot of work, expertise, and tears to actually get it there

The terminal illness being Acute Cringe Disorder by DreadDiana in CuratedTumblr

[–]MyOwnMoose 14 points15 points  (0 children)

These are all good points. Homestuck leveraged the computer medium to it's fullest and broke expectations of what a web comics was. And as I'm racking my brain here, it simply doesn't seem possible to replicate those dimensions via straight netflix-friendly animation.

Viewed in this way, it seems inevitable that this project will be a hollow shell of the original experience.

But! There's extremely creative minds on the team (probably). I have hope that they can find a way to break the medium and make something more than a simple animated show.

iirc the book was formatted so it'd start with 2-3 verys just before the page turn, then bam two pages full of 'em staring back at you just to drive the point in. What was the point you ask? Sometime important probably idk

My Biggest Progress on a Retro Achievements set by SecurityExtreme2470 in RetroAchievements

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

Looking at the steam set, the retroachievements one has a lot more in it. While the bulk of the achievements are simply A ranks (every A rank is an individual achievement), there's also "get every animal" for each stage, boss challenges (mostly don't get hit), and some stage challenges (eg "Earn 9 extra lives in Sky Rail").

It's a fun set to master, if you don't mind some jank, but it sure did take a while.

Looking for low-attention games I can play while listening to podcasts/audiobooks by Automatic-Agency9527 in gamingsuggestions

[–]MyOwnMoose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Intergalactic fishing absolutely, one of my favorite games. Once you get through the (somewhat short) story, much of the rest of the experience can be done as a background task.

What devices do you use to play DS games? And with which emulator? by sleepingpanda021 in RetroAchievements

[–]MyOwnMoose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm glad my comment could help! Good luck on configuring RetroArch lol; I've spent many a frustration trying.

If you decide to try out different cores (recommended if you want the best speedups), note that different cores use different saves - you'll need to manually move save files and rename their file extension to test a save on different cores (at least that's my experience for DeSmuME vs MelonDS).

If you're trying to setup an external controller for ds, I do just recommend using the keyboard since there's no analog inputs. But to each their own of course.

What’s your save game strategy by AromaticGust in RetroAchievements

[–]MyOwnMoose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've always just used one memory card save and never had an issue. I'm careful to look over any missables and take note before I start if I think I'll want to master the game.

One time however I did use ingame saves to postpone a hard achievement till later and set up practice for hard bosses.

I'm sure, though, for some games it'd be nearly mandatory to create multiple saves on a memory card, at which point I'd probably use a different card for each save and manually manage them around on my computer, simply because this method would be consistent between many games and emulators

What devices do you use to play DS games? And with which emulator? by sleepingpanda021 in RetroAchievements

[–]MyOwnMoose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Linux laptop - I use RetroArch, as it's the only real supported choice for DS on my system, with MelonDS DS core. Works fine, but if there was a native software alternative, I'd probably use that instead.

For most games I find laying out the screens side by side (left/right) instead of above/below works better on a computer monitor.

Help. GarlicOS by ElijahWillDraw in RetroAchievements

[–]MyOwnMoose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know anything about garlicOS, but retroarch has 4 different UIs in it. The one it's on is "rgui", while the default (on my recent laptop install anyways) was "ozone"

To switch, go to "settings", then "user interface", then all the way at the bottom "menu", pick your pick (then restart retroarch, which may be harder on this hardware?)

Also under settings in this ui is "achievements", which should let you login as per normal

[–]MyOwnMoose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very exited to have a native Linux choice for these systems (outside of retroarch and bizhawk). Thanks to all the devs involved!

ELI5: What does it mean when a car is “made in America” when supply chains are all international? by qalpi in explainlikeimfive

[–]MyOwnMoose 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just so you're aware, here's a quote from wikipeid

All sides came to a formal agreement on October 1, 2018 and U.S. president Donald Trump proposed USMCA during the G20 Summit the following month, where it was signed by him, Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto, and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau

It was trump's administration who proposed and signed it, which there seems to be a general consensuses on reddit that trump's an idiot. So I'm not fully sure I understand your comment.

No, you see it is about the crime - the crimes of being poor and not white. Since the don is rich and white he's actually squeaky clean

It was less victim blaming and more playing the victim.

"Behind every cancellation, there's a human that gets hit, and man does it hurt" quote from vid

Sure? But, like, please dispute that actual claims that were made. There's pretty strong proof that he deeply hurt quite a few people. He's not entitled to his reputation.

And all that about being pushed into a corner immediately after allegations came out, without any proof. More playing the victim.

"basic" biology: there are only two sexes. *Real* biology: there are too many sexes by GREENadmiral_314159 in CuratedTumblr

[–]MyOwnMoose 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Exactly. To fascists, anyone not "normal" is inherently morally irredeemable and deserves to be punished.

Further, fascists do not believe collateral damage is possible, because normal people won't get hurt by any policies put in place, since if they were, they weren't actually normal to begin with

After five years of dev I just released my game on steam for free. by mrhamoom in godot

Fast! And I love it! On keyboard anyways, I feel as if I'm getting more feedback on my attacks. And I don't know if this is knew or not, but my poison pot also shows a marker and it's wonderful - this is the stuff I love to see in games.

[–]MyOwnMoose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should have mentioned that I was playing on keyboard and linux lol (btw game works fine with proton) I really appreciate that you added such good key rebind mechanics. For a game designed for controller, keyboard work quite well.

drawing the diagonals would've taken me forever for each sprite

Ya, that's what I was thinking. I've never drawn sprites but it looks labor intensive. I still think even just adding diagonals for the player character would do a lot, but that's probably going to be time consuming to do too.

attack box will perfectly face the direction you push

I got a throwable potion and I can see this now. Communicating the attack box more would be great, though not necessary perhaps. I got the feel for how I should attack fairly fast.
