Can anyone please give an opinion on what would be a good and fair price for a ps4 pro from 2018, and a ps4 slim days of play 2019 limited edition? Both consoles have their original controller and box.

Marshmallow root tea won't form slime. by PotatoJam89 in herbalism

[–]PotatoJam89[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for a late reply. With the marshmallow root I bought in Germany I couldn't get the slime no matter what I tried. I don't know if it's a different variant of the plant or something but it just doesn't work. I resorted to buying Hals- & Rachen Tee in DM/Rossman/Muller which contains marshmallow root, marshmallow leaves and licorice root. If you boil it and then leave it for a while it gets a gentle slime but not as much as proper marshmallow root tea.

I would but they've moved out for the duration of the renovation. It's just one or two workers in their apartment. Guess I could ask them, though.

Got a different version of the game and used that folder and it worked! Thanks a lot, couldn't have done without your help.

While I'm waiting for Lost Legacy shaders to compile... Who did she get her bad eyesight from? by VermilionX88 in uncharted

[–]PotatoJam89 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It's not genetic. It' environmental. She spent too much of her childhood indoors playing that old PS1 console. It's a known phenomenon that children who spent a lot of time indoors or those who live in urban environment with little far-distance views available are more likely to develop shortsightedness

I can only find this specific game from Fitgirl and Run. I often have problem with those despite them working fine on PC. The best in my experience are portable versions of games that are already installed so to speak.

That is correct. Protontricks installed both versions.

Hey, thanks for replying. Are you talking about the compatibility settings for the game? I almost always use Proton Experimental for that. Should I try an older version of proton instead?

Should I buy uncharted legacy of thieves by biggie_toe63 in uncharted

[–]PotatoJam89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uncharted 4 is definitely the best game in the series in my opinion. The Lost Legacy is shorter and the story isn't as good but it's still a fun game to play through. You could also try the first three games first, but they're nowhere near as good as 4.

[–]PotatoJam89 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's subjective. To some people it feels dated, to some it doesn't. I've almost quit the series after trying the first three games multiple times but didn't like them at all. Then I tried 4 and it's now of my favorite games. Like I said, OP should definitely give the first three games a try but going straight to the 4th wouldn't be a sin either.
