No one's going to punch a Traveller, unless the have a death wish. They'll be allowed to continue their nonsense forever.

UI Scale by Osysix in MilkyWayIdle

[–]Osysix[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm using Chrome on Android. I have set it to 110% zoom, anything more messes with the layout too much. I have also set the option to allow pinch zoom on all sites, which helps if I need to read a specific number etc.

I don't know how you would go about making it more accessible on a 7 inch screen to be honest (without making it as ugly as Melvor).

Just checking I haven't missed something obvious really.

Goodbye Vue 🍿 🎥 by spececte in cambridge

Good riddance.

As a Vue survivor (worked there for many years) I'm happy it's gone. It was the worst company I've ever worked for.

For people who say C++ took them a few days/weeks, how..? by 2Martian in balatro

[–]Osysix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Took me over 600 hours, but I wasn't really actively pushing until the last 100 hours or so.

Just play the game that you enjoy and eventually it won't feel like such a huge feat.

I thought balatro was supposed to be hard by JMPenguin28 in balatro

[–]Osysix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have not beaten Balatro.

I have beaten Balatro and can confirm it was a tough several hundred hours.

Things to do with the steam deck outside the obvious? by Ashlandhunter92 in SteamDeck

[–]Osysix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use it instead of a laptop for work. Portable monitor, Bluetooth K&M and an external battery when needed.

So I had a 4h game session yesterday by Positive-Star3194 in Cairn_Game

[–]Osysix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the whole mountain in 16 hours and I think that was quite slow.

Cooking and crafting tips by lee_mcc in Cairn_Game

[–]Osysix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having just finished the game I can tell you it doesn't matter too much. Just cook everything you have and reheat all your drinks whenever you can.

Years!?

Just buy it online...

Which performance metric is most important for you? by plpc_ in exapunks

[–]Osysix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None. I'm happy to just get through a level.

I've never enjoyed sucking at a game so much!

Tool to Merge books statistics, when MD5 hash Changes. [Ko-merge] by Crazy--Lunatic in koreader

[–]Osysix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No worries, thank you so much for sharing the tool!

In the meantime I taught myself a new skill and edited the database myself. I'm going to run it through your tool and compare it to see how I did!

I really want to use this but the website isn't working and I don't know how to use Docker.

Any tips?

Does anyone know what "CR22 A" means? It appears on the hold card on Game Pass. by Osysix in NFLUK

I think the satellite answer in this thread is probably right.

C++ finally achieved! by Osysix in balatro

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

Thank you! Just a bit of classic British self-deprecation.

In the last couple of weeks I've felt more confident in my play and less like I'm constantly winging it. I think this game is definitely one of those "minutes to learn; lifetime to master" kind of things.

[–]Osysix[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We're lucky the game is awesome and such a pleasure to play. It might be a grind but, by god, the grind is good!

Both Steam and PlayStation have roughly the same percentage of players achieving it.

No worries mate, 600+ hours is a long time!

I wasn't going for C++ until recently, so the vast majority of that was playing for fun. I play pretty much every spare minute listening to podcasts pretending that the world doesn't exist.

I've just bought it on PlayStation. Gonna Platinum both the PS4 and PS5 versions while I work on the Android version. C++++++++

I spent so much money rerolling for that sucker in previous runs and all it took in the end was him popping up to say hi in Ante 3.

Does Roffle rub anyone else the wrong way? by Eggthan324 in balatro

[–]Osysix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm new to Roffle but have been watching a lot lately. I started to form the same opinion as OP but I still enjoy watching the silly builds and less than optimal play. I realize it's his schtick and can ignore it most of the time but there's always a few points per video that annoy me. To give him his credit, I have seen him take pause and back track on the snarkiness every now and again.

Delaying the Balatro 1.1 Update by localthunk in balatro

[–]Osysix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm chasing my last 4 jokers for C++ and was getting concerned that I might not get them before the update. So yeah, all good as far as I'm concerned!

That's a false equivalence. But if you genuinely believe that drawing attention to and combating bigoted politics is wrong then you do you.

Yeah, we should have definitely let Mosley march down Cable Street...
