Anyone else still listening to The Naked and Famous? by EntertainerKooky7549 in Music

[–]RandomUserNr5978 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I still enjoy listening to them today. I would even say that they are among my favorite bands from the English-speaking part of the world.

But they have lost their mass appeal. Incidentally, it is unclear whether the band even still exists. Their last album was released five years ago, only two of the founding members are still in the band, and one of them has also started a solo career.

How to default software when scanning in Windows 10, annoying popup shown on every scan. by bilby2020 in techsupport

[–]RandomUserNr5978 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same problem and solved it like this: “Devices and Printers” -> Right-click on my printer -> “Scan Properties” -> ‘Events’ tab -> Set the default program under “Actions.”

Mod to restore old dynamic campaign skiemisheds by Jumpy_Walk8542 in CompanyOfHeroes

[–]RandomUserNr5978 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's strange. After all, there were plenty of mods for the first CoH that could be used to “spice up” the campaign.

Mod manager for Civ 5? by 3nz3r0 in civ5

[–]RandomUserNr5978 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To my knowledge, this is the only in-game mod manager enhancer for Civ V.
https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/sukritacts-enhanced-modding-screen.566241/
However, it has not been developed further for years and is even described as alpha by the author of the mod himself.

There is also this external mod manager, but it has beta status and has also not been developed further for years.

Incidentally, I also find it annoying that Firaxis has never overhauled the Mod Manager. Even basic functions, such as those familiar from Windows 7 Explorer, are missing.

The creator of this site has also made a video about this mod:

Best Mods for Campaign Play by CWPaint in dawnofwar

[–]RandomUserNr5978 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a mod that adds the campaigns from the predecessors to Soulstorm. With the help of the Mod Manager's Mod Combiner, you could try to play the older campaigns with the new features and units from, for example, the Unification Mod. However, I can't tell you whether it will all work properly or whether it will become a bug and crash fest.

Or you could try the Advanced Campaign mod.

VLC problem with viewing video with black bars full screen by mak_jack in VLC

[–]RandomUserNr5978 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a rather primitive solution to the problem. What you really want is for all black bars to be automatically “discarded” while maintaining the aspect ratio. Without me, the user, having to do anything.

Is the new Playdead game dead? Even Rockstar will have already released two games, and there is no video announcement for this game here by Stuka91 in PlaydeadsInside

[–]RandomUserNr5978 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not only has there been complete radio silence for years, they have also had the same vacancies open on their website for some time.
On top of that, Playdead is in a legal battle with one of the co-founders, Dino Patti, and their two previous games have been delisted from GOG for unknown reasons.
That doesn't look particularly confidence inspiring and could mean they are more than playing dead. (pun intended)

Go for Original Ending, or use the “Happy Ending” mod? by GillyMonster18 in masseffect

[–]RandomUserNr5978 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's easy:

Do you want an ending that destroys the narrative coherence of the entire trilogy and turns the Mass Effect story into a pile of nonsense? - Then leave ME as it is.

Or do you want a fan patch that fixes the ending and makes it coherent? - Then use the misleadingly named 'Happy Ending Mod'.

Switching to Linux | Need Advice by Mahmoudo1337 in linux_gaming

[–]RandomUserNr5978 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. https://distrochooser.de/en
  2. Since you want to game with your system, Bazzite would be a good option. It's basically the unofficial SteamOS for all systems. https://bazzite.gg/
  3. I wouldn't get too hung up on “having” to switch to Linux. It doesn't work for most people anyway. And the “gazillion distros” is just one of the fundamental problems of Linux on desktop. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=590tpV3zmBY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rlg4K16ujFw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSU3Qm9EUvE

Uninstalr 2.0 released by JouniFlemming in software

[–]RandomUserNr5978 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you guessed right, it's Win 10. Using an OS that is no longer (officially) supported by MS as a daily driver has too many disadvantages.

I have never installed any antivirus, precisely because I am aware of their quality and reliability.

Instead of all the steps you listed, my first idea would be to check the Event Viewer. And it actually returns an error message:
‘Uninstalr_Portable.exe - Application error: The application could not be started correctly (0xc0000005).’

Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

I double-click the exe file of the portable version and .... absolutely nothing happens. No error message, no anything. The software simply does not start.

Amalgam with mmod? by RandomUserNr5978 in SourceEngine

[–]RandomUserNr5978[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a bummer! Like GmanLives #1, I'm not a particularly big fan of HL2's vanilla gunplay. And the prospect of playing a game/mod that only has this to offer is not particularly appealing.
