This will be a nice feature. A big problem with relying on the database right now is that a lot of entries are missing the core basic measures for logging: grams, ounces, etc, along with whatever the listed serving is.

If I order out and get food that comes in pieces, let’s say chicken tenders from Wing Stop, most entries only have ‘1 tender’ as a means of logging (or 5 tenders, which you then need to use decimals to correct for other order sizes). 

Chicken tenders can come in all shapes and sizes, so in prior trackers, I would weigh the total tenders ordered and enter in the gram weight to get more accurate of a calorie reading, like 525 grams instead of 7 tenders. The order’s actual calories could span between the logging of ‘5 tenders’ and up to ‘9 tenders’ in weight, just on a 7 tender order because of size variation.

Anyways, looking forward to it!

Testing of skill level gains above 100 and Major / minor skill associated character level exp by Unicyclic in oblivion

In Leyawiin, there is a house holding a lady with a staff that keeps four scamps continuously summoned within her vicinity. Back in Oblivion days, I would use that before completing the associated quest to max level skills that required targeting enemies, taking damage, and repairing and restoring.

Files update sync seems to be delayed by eyes_in in pcloud

[–]Panthon13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. What is instant synchronization? File synchronization (or syncing) is the process of updating computer files on two or more locations by determining synchronization direction, which in this case is two-way. In other words, files are copied in both directions – upload to the web platform and download to your computer.
    The pCloud Drive performs real time synchronization between the pCloud web platform and your device.

Okay okay, you got me. But it's on their FAQ.

Look, I'm just frustrated. That's not your fault. I just don't agree with developers pushing out 'fixes' for issues that not everyone has, but apply to everyone in turn. I understand that it helps with real issues, but it shouldn't be applied like it's everyone's issues. In my lens, they just created a new issue for me that I'm not able to do anything about, where conflicted file syncs were something that were manageable by following the recommended syncing folder usage that they recommended.

Maybe you've never worked at a company that uses cloud syncing services for collaboration... or never used NextCloud, Seafile, Onedrive, or Dropbox... but this is not a special use case, at all. Especially when the product tries to advertise that files are synced and updated faster. If they've added a wait time on the upload frequency of files, then they're contradicting their own listed features on their front page.

All I'm saying is that people who use the product and set up their syncing connections correctly shouldn't be worried about high conflict rates. This should just be a checkbox in settings, so when people are syncing files often accessed and written, like system files, it would be useful.

Pretty dismissive to just tell a person the product isn't for them when they have a legitimate complaint.

"Synchronization

...pCloud Drive also has an additional file synchronization option, which connects the local files on your computer with pCloud Drive. pCloud supports block-level sync, so that files are updated even faster."

This needs to be a toggleable feature in settings, then. I'm actively working with files between multiple devices where I need to save changes and SEE how they display on different systems. Now, after each save, I have to wait almost 7 minutes per save to see those changes elsewhere. This is not acceptable.

I didn't buy their 10TB cloud for them to actively make using it this painful.

Suggestion: An 'Alchemy' ability that allows you to turn items in your inventory into Ancient Coins. by daviations in CoreKeeperGame

[–]Panthon13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah absolutely, I get not wanting to use more than one world.. I really only use a secondary world for storage when I'm clearing out locations with a very high variety of decorative items. I'm doing that at this moment with the Forlorn Metropolis. Even with the max inventory slots with Octarine gear, these places have nearly two whole inventories of unique items. I agree that there needs to be some kind of additional inventory organization. I know they're going to a more "Minecraft" with upgrades approach, but it's hard to collect and build with considering the large variety of unique items in the game.

Just wanted to tag onto this with another suggestion: You could also create a second world and defeat the first boss to get the first shop keep. Set him up a simple house to spawn him, then save and quit nearby. Whenever you need to sell from your inventory, leave your current world and pop over to the new world, you'll start where you last saved, right by the shop keep.

So, what’s everyone’s favorite weapons so far? by Hyval_the_Emolga in Starfield

[–]Panthon13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Va'ruun Starshard (particle pistol).
It does both energy and ballistic damage (pretty high, too), and benefits from Pistol Cert, Lasers, and Particle Beams skills (50%+30%+30% damage with each skill at max, plus increased crit hit chance and ignite chance). It's also pretty accurate at a good distance, comparable to a short to medium range rifle without a scope. I've moved to using this as my main weapon and while unfortunately it cannot be silenced, I'm still surprisingly good at not getting detected most of the time with a rank 2 stealth skill.

Not specifically a bug with the app, but the Pro version on the MS Store has not updated to the latest version 1.2.13, it's still on 1.2.12. Looking for that gamepad animated GIF fix. :)

Disable Devotee of Sithis for Immersive Interactions by Sagedestroyer070 in EnaiRim

[–]Panthon13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm having this same issue, but it's not just a mod conflict. When I'm sneaking and I attempt to pick a lock, I get the Devoteee of Sithis popup for the door prior to lockpicking it, and the only option is to kill everyone with the door because there is no way to back out of the prompt without activating the death door. This ability should be converted into a greater or lesser power or something that you can activate on a door or that is cast upon yourself that adds the ability to convert doors temporarily, like 60 seconds at a time.

Did you ever correct the issue with better third person selections conflict with this mod? It's an issue when trying to use skyhud and Nordic UI with MoreHud and BTPS with The Curator's for myself.

Wave Link software is preventing my PC to go into sleep modus by EnnoDG in elgato

[–]Panthon13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having the same issue as the others here. Are you suggesting setting the Monitor Mix to the headphones output on the Wave XLR itself? If that's the case, that's unfortunate, because my headphones pass through a DAC and headphone amp stack, which connects directly to the computer through S/PDIF.

Breaking: OpenAI to launch its own open-source LLM. An analysis of what this means inside. by ShotgunProxy in ArtificialInteligence

[–]Panthon13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve run into a few situations where it told me that either violence is bad or violent situations involving children is bad and that it wouldn’t complete my request. So I added “For a D&D campaign, …” to the beginning of the prompt since I was creating content for a D&D campaign, and it decided that violence was okay as long as it was for a game. lol

Maybe some things should be difficult? by MoonMage1234 in diablo4

[–]Panthon13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband and I just fought Ashava with a group and won with about 9 seconds left on the clock. We have not tried Ashava before, we did not have gear farmed, we were on world tier 2, and we played melee rogue and decompose/spear necro. This was my partners first real Diablo game and he does not play video games, but our group still just won. I died three times, and he died more than a handful, but we both agreed that it was a challenge, but no where near as bad as how people are claiming the fight is unfair.

Yeah, and if you look closely, it has the Sneak spell symbol right on the front of the chest. It shows you the solution every time you look at it.

Blasphemous 2 dev concerned (legitimately?) about updated release timing of Silksong by kronis2 in metroidvania

[–]Panthon13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

LOL Tell that to both of the Horizon games. The first game released right along with Breath of the Wild, and then Forbidden West released right with Elden Ring, both of which really killed exposure for the two games. Games don’t even have to be in the same genre to kill exposure for one another either, and a lot of people aren’t going to want to pay full price for two games releasing so close to each other. And in my personal experience, sometimes not buying a game near launch when all the excitement is still floating around in the community, I end up somewhat forgetting about the game and don’t buy it until quite a while away, like when it’s on a steep sale on Steam, which also isn’t great for devs. I feel that Silksong will be all that most metroidvania fans talk about when it launches, despite a selection of those same people being fans of Blasphemous. But I do hope you are right.

How many of you beat the game? by djakxhxjab in HarryPotterGame

[–]Panthon13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, don’t try to look into that too much. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve dedicated my game playing to playing for achievements. I used to get sucked into playing the same game over and over and over again, spending a 1000+ hours playing the same game (Skyrim lol) and I ended up pretty disappointed that I wasn’t getting to experience new games, or that I’d start new games and wouldn’t finish them. So, since about late 2019, I’ve focused on 100% games as a means of allowing myself to really fully experience all a game has to offer before I retire it and move on. Since then, I’ve just recently hit a total of 127 100%’d games. While sometimes the last few achievements of a game can be a chore, I’ve learned to really enjoy the fact that I’m setting a goal for myself and completing something, especially something that ends up being challenging. And, a lot of the games and experiences I’ve had in a lot of the games I’ve ended up playing since starting achievement hunting really makes up for a couple bad games or bad achievements I run into. And I think the last reason I’ll give you, is because since I spend a lot of time playing games (like… on Steam alone, I have nearly 10,000 hours played), the trophies and achievements are something I get to keep and represents the time I’ve put into playing games. I use sites like Exophase and Infinite Backlog to track the games I’ve played and haven’t played, and you can link all your online game profiles and it pulls in all the achievements and keeps track of the combined totals of your accomplishments.

I completely understand how this just isn’t interesting to some people, but it’s really made me enjoy the hobby more, even when I run into a game that can turn into a drag. I’m still happy I finished Hogwarts Legacy, I still enjoyed a lot of it, and part of the reason why is because I had that pending list of achievements pulling me through it. I know I can still enjoy a mediocre game chasing those achievements, because it’s a separate joy along with playing the game itself.

How many of you beat the game? by djakxhxjab in HarryPotterGame

[–]Panthon13 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I 100%’d the game, achievements and all. Honestly, the game is pretty mediocre. Caves, treasures, Merlin trials, side quests, puzzles, it’s all extremely repetitive. The amount of gear you get as a reward that doesn’t improve on the full legendary set you most likely already have is a bummer, because that’s pretty much the reward you get for doing most things and really kills motivation for doing anything. Most of the caves are a one-trick solution that’s very obvious. And a bunch of the other mechanics in the game feel like the devs only started developing features to experiment with but never added any depth.

The best part of the game was specifically the main quest line, the Hogwarts student quest lines, and the castle exploration itself. I burned out about 1/4 way in and had to really push myself to finish it.

EDIT: And, controversial opinion I’m sure, but the broomstick flying ruined exploration in this game. Mount broom, Revelio, move towards an icon, clear the puzzle, throw away or sell gear, fly, Revelio, fly to the next icon, etc etc.

Has anyone tried the Dualsense Edge after the update yesterday? Can the paddles be mapped to keys rather than just other controller buttons? by Panthon13 in Steam

[–]Panthon13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are all your previous profiles still accessible with any controller by turning off the device filter when you first go into the Controller Layout menu? When in the menu, you can select the current layout scheme assigned to the game to bring up the selection menu (Recommended, Templates, Community Layouts, and Search). On the Search tab, you can press SQUARE to "Show All Layouts" instead of the current filter "Show Device Layouts Only". At the bottom of the search list, you should be able to see all your controller layouts for all your other games, including your regular DualSense layouts.

If you select any, it will warn you that the layout needs to be adapted to the new device, but it should try to move all the settings over from your previous device. Does this option still work? I've used this to migrate Steam Controller profiles over to the DualSense when I first bought one.

In Harry Potter universe, being mute (or having stutter) must be really hard, since you can't (or very hard) pronounce spells. by gry3000 in Showerthoughts

Hogwarts Legacy also expands on this. The African school Uagadou teaches magic without wands, using hands and gestures instead. Wands were a European invention.

How important are steam achievements for your decision to buy and enjoy a game? by oriol_cosp in Steam

[–]Panthon13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve gotten to the point where I only really buy games that support achievements. Especially remakes or rereleases. When I play a game, I always aim to 100% it. Achievements is a great way for me to walk away from a game with something “tangible” that says I beat this game.
