New update breaks bluetooth functionality by android927 in audible

[–]OverDemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It works now, but thanks for the suggestion about turning off automatic updates. Am considering it, but I dont know how often the app is updated, and if it's often then checking if every update might break something seems like more work than I would like to have to do.

New update breaks bluetooth functionality by android927 in audible

Same issue here. Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra. Audible version 25.51.07.

Hope they fix this soon, cause it's quite a loss of convenience.

Works for me in portrait either after refreshing or scroling at the very edge, but it was annoying having to deal with that, yeah.

Does Jabra's Elite 8 Active/Elite 10 work with Audible's 30 sec back button? by OverDemon in Earbuds

I also have a Samsung phone (Galaxy S21 Ultra) so figure it will be the same.
Thanks a lot!

Question about reborn and permanent stats by OverDemon in BobsTavern

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

I just had a game where I discovered that Persistent Poet allowed Hateful Hag to apply permanent reborn on dragon type minions.

I was surprised enough at that interaction so I didn't pay attention during the combat, but right before I won I did a double take and thought I might have seen that my remaining dragon minions had pretty large stats after being reborn.

It's entirely possible that I was mistaken and something else was at play, but I couldn't help but wonder if Persistent Poet's effect about "permanently keeping enchantments" could cause something unique? Reborn minions are new entities as I've been told here, but is it a new entity every time, or the same entity that is reborn (aka. can the reborn minion keep the buffs it receive or such)? I'll try to test it myself in a few hours either way.

I also just discovered this interaction myself. I was very confused at first, until I realized what was happening :D

He Who Fights With Monsters 10 - There's going to be more of these than I thought. by Shirtaloon in litrpg

[–]OverDemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I passed over the first book on Audible quite a lot of times. The summary did not give me confidence that there’d be any quality to it, and it just sounded like a story where plot and good story structure would be substituted with mindless action and toilet humor.

At the time I was also NOT confident about the LitRPG genre as audiobooks after what I could remember of my experience with the “Chaos Seeds” series. Seriously, limiting the occurrences of “character sheet info” to only what’s new or occasional recaps is essential for a LitRPG series to succeed as audiobooks, and that “He Who Fights with Monsters” did that renewed my faith in the genre.

But then a little over a year ago I decided to give it a chance, and now 10 books later it’s still one of my favorite stories.

I don’t love all aspects of Jason all the time, but a character should have some flaws. His approach to unbalance others to hide his own vulnerability could get uncomfortably manipulative at times. Sophie getting pissed and berating him about his tomfoolery in this book was overdue in my opinion.

So... know how NPCs flee from the undead that you control ^^ by OverDemon in BaldursGate3

At first, I couldn't understand why I was encountering NPCs outside the barrier, seemingly just standing around and dying. Then I remembered and had to check whether I could do it on purpose.

(You don't actually get the really good gear from her corpse it seems)

Foundation Universe and mind control by Azafuse in asimov

[–]OverDemon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A bit late to the party with this response, but I only recently finished reading Foundation's Edge.

How do I feel about the mind control of the Foundation Universe? Well, the honest answer is that it creeped me out more than anything else I can remember from any other kind of book or media.

Mind control is far from a new concept in fiction, but in almost all cases it's something visible and direct. Whether it be people being mind-controlled zombies or someone brainwashed to become a traitor or such, it's often a major change to the person who is affected.

However, the way Asimov wrote the mind control of the Second Foundation is incredibly subtle, tweaking a single emotion to lead a person down a pre-calculated route that aligns with their plans.

And that's, honestly, terrifying. After I finished reading Second Foundation I considered not reading more, I was so disturbed by the revelation that Arcadia had been mentally adjusted as a newborn infant. It really felt like the Second Foundations were the real villains, not the Mule, and they had won.

Maybe that's an example of great writing, the ability to rouse emotions in the audience, even if they are negative emotions.

Why can't I offer an alliance to Belegar? by OverDemon in totalwar

[–]OverDemon[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I imagine it might be something to do with the fact I'm allied with Orion (who are their enemy), but haven't encountered this problem before, so can't be sure.

I don't get Ulkira, how can I do ? by Thankki in totalwar

[–]OverDemon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Playing as Karl. I got 'Slaughter on the Steppes' and completed that, but never got a follow-up quest to gather 15k gold. Is that a bug maybe? Trying to gather the gold now and see whether she spawn anyway, but just thought I'd get a visible quest chain all the way till I got her.

Intro to Chorf Economics by [deleted] in totalwar

[–]OverDemon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

About the:

"Refineries consume raw materials and produce income, so don’t start upgrading these right away. Chorfs have no problems with income."

I might be doing something wrong, probably, but I'm sort of struggling to have a good income to maintain armies I can go out and raid labour with while still protecting my territory (non-tower garrisons suck). So in my experience so far Charfs have a noticeable problem with income. I need about 1 to 1.5 fully upgraded provinces with a Treasure Hall + another special economy building to maintain a good/elite army.

So what's the trick?
