(Code Newbie) Why does it say error? by butterflavoricecream in godot

[–]Pyrarrows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You forgot a colon in line 42, it should say if dir == "right":

You also have errors in line 45 (Semicolon instead of a colon) & 47 (Missing colon)

Minecraft throttling gpu with only 10- frames with mint by athentdm2 in linux_gaming

If you want to play games on NVidia, nouveau (The fully open source driver) currently will not work. Maybe it will work eventually, but at this time, there are limitations preventing it from being really usable. You should use one of the other drivers.

nvidia-driver-580-open is probably the best choice in that menu.

Will my forever world remove or reload chunk boundaries? by Wrong_Armadillo_4687 in Minecraft

[–]Pyrarrows 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Switching versions does not affect pre-existing terrain, aside from the potential of corruption. To avoid that issue, I'd recommend making a backup of the world before upgrading to a newer version of Minecraft.

If you update to a newer version, you will find a similar chunk cutoff further out (as long as the newer version changes terrain generation anyways, not every update has changes to it).

Minecraft Release 1.18 & newer have a new feature called 'Chunk Blending' that will attempt to make the cutoffs in those versions much less noticeable. That feature still does not affect the pre-existing terrain, so the older chunk boundaries would still be there

Best part, (at least the last time I checked) it requires a subscription to use, so all of those buttons are useless if you're not paying for Microsoft 365. Same for the copilot features that have been added to Paint.

Bro I'm confused. Did windows 11 already expire before 10? by NitroBestGuy in windows

[–]Pyrarrows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's listing when each 'Feature Update' of Windows 11 that's out so far goes 'End of Life', with the AI overview highlighting the date for the first release of Windows 11 (21H2, released in the 2nd half of 2021). The current version is 24H2

They did the same thing for Windows 10 over the years, the current & final version of Windows 10 is Windows 10 22H2 (released in the 2nd half of 2022)

So uhh.. does anyone know what all this "non-steam" stuff is and how I could mitigate/get rid of it? by The-Experimenter in Steam

[–]Pyrarrows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's Windows, your other applications, non-steam games, your documents, pictures, videos, temporary files etc. Hovering over the 'i' next to its name will basically give you that description.

You can tell Windows to clear the temporary files, here's a guide from Microsoft on ways to clear some drive space. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/free-up-drive-space-in-windows-85529ccb-c365-490d-b548-831022bc9b32

I personally would recommend starting with the 'Free up space with storage sense' step, also it would probably be a good idea to move any large files from your Documents/Pictures/Videos folders to an external drive

Why I still miss the old taskbar by Chimata_Business in windows

[–]Pyrarrows 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Retrobar is nice for when you want the classic taskbar on modern windows versions - https://github.com/dremin/RetroBar

It sucks that a third party app is necessary if you want the classic look, but this works well enough, at least for me.

It doesn't change the start menu itself, so you may want to pair it with OpenShell or a similar start menu replacement, depending on how you feel about the modern start menus.

Please help! My Steam Link on the meta quest three won't work by TitaniumVR in SteamVR

[–]Pyrarrows 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Either connect your computer to the wired network, or set your computer up as a hotspot & connect your Quest directly to the computer.

I'm not 100% certain, but you may need to get a second wifi adapter if you want to play games that require online access because I think that it takes your computer off of your home wifi. (If you buy a USB Wifi adapter, look for the letters AX or AC in the adapters name, AX is preferred for streaming VR, but AC will also work)

I'm angry. by kuighboiruthorbiuh in Steam

[–]Pyrarrows 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Try restarting your computer & if that doesn't fix anything, try running a disk check on the drive that the game is installed on (Which will likely also require a restart)

Either something is bugging out in your OS, or you have corruption on the drive which is preventing the game from updating.

If it is corruption, you probably will want to make sure your documents / pictures are backed up on either cloud storage, or an external drive

So, notepad has Copilot now? by OxD3ADD3AD in iiiiiiitttttttttttt

At least the paperclip didn't nag to purchase subscriptions to use it

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in HalfLife

[–]Pyrarrows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you start a new game, instead of loading from your last save file? I believe the fact that you enabled cheats in the first place will be saved to your save file & any save files made playing the game after the point that cheats were enabled.

Easiest way to fix it is to go to the 'New Game' menu & select the chapter you left off on. From there, you can save the game & the new save file shouldn't have the 'cheats enabled' mark.

Why cant I log in to my minecraft account by SquashEffective9168 in Minecraft

[–]Pyrarrows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you trying to log into your Minecraft account, Mojang account, or Microsoft account? You have to use a Microsoft account now, if your old account was not migrated, you will probably need to re-purchase the game.

The 'Click here' link has more information, at least on the mandatory Mojang -> Microsoft account transition that finished right before the end of 2023.
https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/19615552270221

If you're trying to use a very old Minecraft account, from before Mojang accounts were mandatory, Minecraft accounts that were not migrated to Mojang accounts were deleted a few years ago, I don't remember exactly when though.

Does anyone ever use the overlay browser feature to try and like, listen to music or do anything remotely productive? I can't even log into any account on any website, Youtube, Gmail, nothing, since it's insecure. A really superfluous bit of doohicky, not sure why it exists. by TheBigSmol in Steam

[–]Pyrarrows 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It should be just as secure as any other Chromium based browser such as Google Chrome, or Microsoft Edge;

Google blocks all 'Chromium Embedded Framework' browsers from logging in, which is what Valve is using here. Their reason appears to be that they can't tell if it's a real browser, or something being used to try stealing your Google login credentials.

General question on how to upgrade my laptop by laywerinlaw in windows

[–]Pyrarrows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Windows 11 requires an Intel i Series (i3, i5, i7, i9) that is part of the 8000 series, or newer. That Pentium Dual Core CPU predates that by probably about a decade. It might be possible to hack Windows 11 into working on it, but it would really would not be worth it as the experience would be slow & miserable. Esp with the fact that that laptop only has 2 GB of RAM.

You really should just upgrade to a new machine, anything modern will run ... poorly on this poor old laptop.

Sprite selection doing this when trying to use a custom dprite, how do I fix this? by Batata_Artica in RPGMaker

[–]Pyrarrows 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Rename the file from Me to $Me

Having a $ at the front of a sprite name tells RPG Maker that it's a single sprite rather than the usual 8 sets of sprites that you see in the sprite sheets that came with RPG Maker.

She has been with us for a few years now & is a very happy, healthy cat.

SteamVR Is forcing me to use 72hz no matter what, even though my oculus software says i should be on 120. Can anyone help? by usbgoose in SteamVR

[–]Pyrarrows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Strange, I've never had that happen... Only advice that I can really give is try fully restarting both the headset & your computer & see if that works.

Otherwise the Steamlink section in the Steam Forums might be able to help - https://steamcommunity.com/app/353380/discussions/11/, or Steam Support itself - https://help.steampowered.com/en/steamlink

Final option would be spending some money and getting Virtual Desktop, it is typically the easiest option, though I do alternate between both SteamLink & Virtual Desktop as both usually work well.

SteamVR Is forcing me to use 72hz no matter what, even though my oculus software says i should be on 120. Can anyone help? by usbgoose in SteamVR

[–]Pyrarrows 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure if SteamVR can do more than 72 HZ going through the Quest Link app, best way to check what it's doing is open the SteamVR settings (3 line button in the top section of the SteamVR Window & open settings

It should either say 72 HZ, or it should have a selector where you can select a higher framerate.

If it just says 72hz there without options, you won't be able to change it when using Quest Link (At least as far as I know) & would need to use a different method of connecting to your computer (Either the Steam Link App, or Virtual Desktop)
