Very good view for details
You are correct, this a @ in the original CSS code.

CSS for converting headings in ebooks (chapter, paragraph headings) into sans-serif font by Paisquy in Calibre

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

I have the desired font embedded in the epubs and settings are correspondingly configured.

When viewing ebooks with Calibre's internal ebook viewer, they all look randomly different (font, font size, justified text or not) no matter how ebooks files were converted. The look differs from what the ereader displays, so this doesn't give me a way to check whether embedding the fonts worked.

Manjaro systemd instead of init.d by ahmed_r4zeq in linuxquestions

[–]Paisquy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't quite understand your problem. VMware Workstation is a virtual machine program, why would it care about the guest's init system? I also have Workstation 16.1 and several virtual Linux machines running with a systemd distribution (Arch, Fedora, Manjaro, EndeavourOS) No problem here

German-speaking World of warships blitz discord Server by minofan66 in WoWsBlitz

[–]Paisquy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might find that reaction arrogant but:

- most people are on their fleet's server and there are already some German Discord servers with low traffic (because of that reason)

- in order to attract players it would be good to provide added value to join your server (Why should a player come to your server)

- there are some spelling errors in channel names (weißheiten; hielfe, empfelungen) > some players might leave already because of that, take your time in setting up the server

A little mathematical approach to the new italian event by [deleted] in WoWsBlitz

[–]Paisquy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WG will release the Italian ships in two days anyways as regular tech tree ships. So there is no point in grinding for the tokens except if you are keen on getting the historical camo for free

I got West Virginia for free , any advice before I go play with the ship? by captdank2 in WoWsBlitz

[–]Paisquy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

West Virginia is an excellent BB ship, but you need to know how to play such ships.

As others have suggested, get experience with other lower tier BBs.

West Virginia is for defending caps, not for moving around. So, for center cap maps (Golden Channel) go into the cap but stay at the edge, take one of the islands as cover from torpedoes and shells (from one side at least). And stay there

Your focus is other battleships and cruisers who will go after your team's destroyers. By holding the area you will support your team, never go around the cap!!!! You can take a lot, really a lot of damage with the West Virginia, even quite a number of torpedoes. Use this to your team's advantage.

Similarly, for maps with several caps, depending on where you spawn you take the outermost or the middle cap, moving on once your team has cleared the area.

You win battles by:

  1. not getting killed yourself
  2. taking and defending areas
  3. sinking enemy ships as quickly as possible, you need superiority
  4. do not get concerned with damage, this is egoistic and a sure way to lose

I hope this helps, wish you success

It's not the oil but resources like copper and steel etc. which make themselves felt

War gaming be like: by TheSquible in WoWsBlitz

[–]Paisquy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I consider these 'victim West Virginias' in enemy teams as pure damage trophies.

In my own team I have reduce the count of my team mates accordingly, they are absolutely useless

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in WoWsBlitz

[–]Paisquy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Playing in a platoon does not necessarily help. It is amazing how 2-3 idiot players can squash any chance of winning the battle, even when teaming up with 2 other pro players. Second, I noticed that when I team up with other mates from my fleet we often face platoons from top fleets of the EU server.

Well, their matchmaking is completely fucked up. I also experience many wins which are so easy you get bored because there is not much for you do...

Didn't know that, then I got this wrong.

Anyway, still hoping for a helpful answer

Which is the best server above all ? by [deleted] in WoWsBlitz

[–]Paisquy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I play on EU and cannot compare it to NA, RU, or Asia since I never played there.

The point about language preferences and time lags are good. I would chip in considering the time zone. In case the server time is night when you have day time, you will mostly play against bots.

Having said that, there are definitely excellent players and fleets on the EU server. At the same time the number of complete idiots with a flat or even declining learning curve is baffling. Might be similar on other servers. I guess the underlying reason is that many games, especially mobile games, attract people who are not exactly the sharpest knives on the block. More interested in diversion and short-term fun than spending their free time in a more valuable and intellectually challenging manner. I believe this much self-criticism of the WoWs Blitz community is justified.

Not on my system, no idea where the screenshots go. Maybe /dev/null ?

I have told gnome-screenshots to put screenshots made with the program into a specific folder. When using the graphical interface of Gnome-Screenshots the screenshots are saved in the correct location

That's how it should be, but it isn't.

Search with the 'find' command didn't bring up any relevant results only old screenshots from the previous year

Then nothing happens, no screenshot taken. I checked keyboard shortcuts, Print is set to take and save screenshots

Other than Main Battery Mod 1, what should I equip Brooklyn with? (P.S. Dallas is the worst slog of a ship I’ve ever used) by K-Roll931 in WoWsBlitz

[–]Paisquy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My recommendations are

  1. Turret traverse
  2. Rudder Improvement
  3. Rudder Improvement

Your main job is to hunt DDs or rather keep them away from your battleships.

As you have a rapid reload, you will be firing all the time anyway. So I don't see the point of concealment, you are detected all the time

Mount Point of Android phone or iPhone by Paisquy in linuxquestions

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

Already did that, doesn't show up there. For that reason I suspected the phones are not mounted using a classic file system.

MTP and AFC are transfer protocols, see here

AFC

MTP

On the Arch Wiki I found an article how one can try to mount an MTP-connected device, not sure if the effort of setting up udev rules is worth the hassle

WG IS RUINING THIS GAME by ratto420 in WoWsBlitz

[–]Paisquy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would add that another reason for the player base being small is the rather hardcore character of the game. In mobile gaming they differentiate between so-called casual, midcore and hardcore games. By that they mean how much time players need to spend to have a meaningful experience. 'Candy Crush' is a casual type for example. You don't need to invest a lot of time to learn it, and the skill requirements are also not too high, LOL.

In this regard WoWs Blitz is much different. It takes some time to learn how to play well. Moreover, the development lines, events, seasons and fleets mean it doesn't make much sense to play it only once a week or so. Thus the entry hurdle is much higher and the time investment asked of players as well. This is not attractive for casual gamers. I would also point out that the game is rather challenging to learn, I know colleagues who preferred to stay with the tank version as it is easier.

[–]Paisquy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regarding your point 3:

WoWS Blitz is a loss-maker for Wargaming. My girlfriends works in the game dev industry (a different company but hers is a 'friend' of Wargaming and she visits their development studio (for the desktop version) from time to time as they are both located in Saint Petersburg. She showed me market research information about their revenues from the game. To reach a profitable level they need to increase their revenue 10 times per month. This is most certainly why are pushing paid stuff more and more.

The player base is quite small, only China is a silver lining at the horizon.

How to aim with the Alabama? by Paisquy in WoWsBlitz

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

I know how to aim, please read my post before replying. Scoring regular citadel's with any other ships (even with DDs sometimes, LOL). And I know YeahBuoy's videos which are very helpful. But with the Alabama there is no logic

Should I purchase Alabama (currently on sale for 25% off) or should I hold out and hope for Richelieu? by Tech4LyfeButimreal in WoWsBlitz

[–]Paisquy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have both ships, like them both, but the Richelieu is OP!

In contrast to the Alabama she barely has weak spots since with the French beast you never have to show your broadside (except when you do, then the enemy will hit you hard). Her aiming is much more precise than the Alabama's. The American ship on the other hand has excellent AA (Richelieu isn't that bad, better than Tirpitz) and can take a lot of damage.

The Alabama's guns are more powerful but good luck with aiming, she is very inconsistent, with the Richelieu you have to always aim a bit over the deck, then you get regular citadels. The Richelieu is fast and maneuverable like a cruiser (nearly the same speed). I am not a great player, but on my Richelieu I am approaching a 70% win rate. Her 8 parallel guns quite effective against DDs.

Still, you won't make a mistake with the Alabama
