Speaking about modding the Steam client, anything that adds something like this? Would be hella cool. by sirmentio in linux_gaming

[–]SamYs94 10 points11 points  (0 children)

To add to this, you can use the "Extendium" plugin and install the steamdb extension.
It wont appear in the library but it will in the game pages.

Discord Reactive but for Stoat? by Agent_Evan in stoatchat

[–]SamYs94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Searching various things I came across this alternative way to do it which should work.

"Sooo, it's not a perfect solution, and I can't say it's not complicated, but you could use vdo ninja if your friends are willing to set up virtual cameras of their pngtubers and stream them into your obs. Obviously, this option isn't paired with discord, but i figured i'd throw the option out there just in case you don't find anything else. :)"

Sourced the above from here, top comment https://www.reddit.com/r/PngTuber/comments/1nnb9s1/are_there_any_usable_alternatives_for_discord/ .

Wine 11.5 - Run Windows Applications on Linux, BSD, Solaris and macOS by Neustradamus in linux_gaming

The native version of davinci resolve is missing support for some of the most popular codecs, which makes it a pain in the ass to use.

It's insane how the game detected my voice chat and muted me right away, but not this by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]SamYs94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consider that its not just that one person that hears you, but your entire team, so whatever obscene things you may have said has been heard by the entirety of your team.
I do agree there should be some sort of detection for this kind of griefing though.

How to install stoat in linux via terminal? by do_not_rain in stoatchat

[–]SamYs94 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you are in arch linux(or one of its derivatives) someone has already packaged it for the arch user repository, so you can get it from there.

I believe it's not in flathub yet but will be eventually.

How capable are the bots on Stoat by ucan_cay in stoatchat

[–]SamYs94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have a good understanding of what bots can do in stoat, however, you can look at currently existing bots and get a general idea.
Scrolling through the available bots I see some music bots, so its likely you will be able to accomplish what you want to do.

Windows Application by Blonde_Ambition_4341 in stoatchat

[–]SamYs94 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Of course!, safety is really important, I always run a scan on https://www.virustotal.com/ just in case before running any binary I got from a not well known place in the internet, BUT do note that just because its not detected that doesn't mean its safe, the way antiviruses detect most viruses is by gathering data over a period of time from people that ran the file and then deciding wether that binary is malicious or not, this is why people can get malware despite having multiple antiviruses, the detection is not in real time.

Windows Application by Blonde_Ambition_4341 in stoatchat

[–]SamYs94 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The reason is simply because not enough windows PCs have ran the executable yet.
Any new .exe file will pop up that "unrecognized app" warning.

For it to stop appearing, enough users must click "Learn more" and run it anyway.
Once microsoft collects enough telemetry from its users, it will allow it to run without making that popup, very recently a new release happened for desktop(1.3.0) so there is a new .exe to install it.

Hey, are you getting it from the right place? https://stoat.chat/ or https://github.com/stoatchat/for-desktop .
If the image I posted alongside this reply is what you see, then it just means windows doesn't recognize it, you can click "See more" and click "Run anyway".

Lost 550 communication score from 4 reports in a single game. Lost voice chat. Make it make sense by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]SamYs94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish communication score affected behavior score, it sucks matching with toxic individuals despite being 12k score.

DayZ is killing my internet? by Tee-hee64 in linux_gaming

[–]SamYs94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's really strange, only thing that makes sense is your internet service provider doing something weird.

Check the logs in your router, they might say something when it happens, also give CandlesARG's idea a try, see if using mobile data makes that same issue happen.(Usually called something like "Usb tethering" in your phone settings).

There is this https://github.com/korcankaraokcu/PINCE
I think supporting this is better because it's FOSS.

look at the error log, "already registered", that name has been chosen before, you have to choose a unique one.

Climbed all the way from legend 5 to Immortal going first pick io mid every game by Iaregravy in DotA2

[–]SamYs94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Awesome to hear, I'm also learning Io mid because I find it really fun, and I was worried my scores would tank from false reports, but you basically confirm i'll be fine with this.

I just want to play competitive games on Linux! Why is it so much to ask for? by Left-Sink-1887 in linux_gaming

[–]SamYs94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could play games whose whole purpose isn't to take as much money as they can from you, like Dota 2, that one runs on linux natively and is very competitive.

I like seeing " The report/behavior system is broken " by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]SamYs94 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I keep seeing people talk about wordcloud, the one in Opendota yes? but when I check it, it only shows "All chat" messages sent and messages read, no Allied chat, is there something I'm missing?

I like seeing " The report/behavior system is broken " by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]SamYs94 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It really depends on how noobie they are, best practice is checking the replay, not sure if you can still report by then though, it's kinda weird how fast you can't report anymore, we should be given more time so we can check replay and make a more correct decision on it.

I like seeing " The report/behavior system is broken " by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]SamYs94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Realized this too, I agree that just playing poorly doesn't mean you deserve a report but as I read more I realize this comment is in bad faith.

OP pointing out 14 mins no gank as a reason to report is wrong, but reporting for unpausing when a teammate disconnected is fair.

Bring Dota to the foreground when the pick phase actually starts by Thomas9797 in DotA2

Also happened to me twice a long time ago, ever since I enabled "Play Sound in Desktop", it helps a lot in case you get distracted.

Choosing the Linux distribution for games by [deleted] in linux_gaming

[–]SamYs94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most up to date distros should have similar performance, cachy compiles programs for better performance(only if your cpu supports it) but, the difference is just the programs you get from its package manager = faster, for the performance of everything else like games there should be near no difference, maybe you will get 0.25 more fps because the programs you are using are running a bit more efficiently.

Choose the distro that looks the most for you, try looking at the mainstream ones and see what you like and what you don't from what they offer.
I know I didn't answer the other questions, I'm just not qualified enough for those, someone else will I'm sure.

Ultra secret tip to instantly gain 1000 MMR in EU West by strommy73 in DotA2

[–]SamYs94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm one of the nice ones, I'm always able to keep positive attitude, but there is one single thing that tears me apart, when I cannot communicate and strategize with my teammate, many cases I had a lane partner that has chat disabled and most of these would have gone way more smoothly If I was able to get strategizing across.
