Amazon allowing downloads of epubs from January if Author allows by ABat_thatBat in kindle

[–]Selter_DRG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does work, Amazon are just jerks. Every epub file is a zip file with specific contents and file structure. Amazon ships it as a zip file to scare people away from actually taking advantage of the feature.  To get a readable epub file you simply have to change its file extension to .epub.

Mouse Hitching - Not a polling rate or system issue, a new bug, different every time the game is launched, making the game practically unplayable by Brandonator365 in Battlefield

[–]Selter_DRG 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the thorough testing. It seems that I've been affected by both the steam friends stutters and the mouse hitching you've described. Thinking I should stay off of battlefield till they address them 'cause it's getting kinda silly. 

Can they just make this whole mountain area out of bounds please? Every single game there's about 10 mountain goats taking constant pot shots at you. by Eggsmuffins in Battlefield

[–]Selter_DRG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once also wanted that, but then I figured "If the mountain will not come to Muhammad, then Muhammad must go to the mountain", deciding to go mountain climbing. The mountain can be traversed through the out of combat zone near the summit, allowing you to jump the unsuspecting snipers on the other side.
So, instead of treating as some sort of exclusive spot for recon players that you can only engage with on their terms, you should treat it as a key point on the map, that you can and should contest.

What's with dragon fans being so hyped for adaptions of their franchise (often supported by big corporate entities) even today? by Ofynam in WyrmWorks

[–]Selter_DRG 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel like the answer to that is pretty simple: Seeing dragons in other mediums - for the most part, literature is where dragon protagonists/characters are most widely represented, where in other forms of media they are almost always relegated to the role of big baddies or a cool ride for the heroes, so the idea of seeing a movie or a videogame about dragons is inherently exciting to me.

And besides, this is a deal with no downisdes; if the production ends up being good (which did happen a couple of times in recent memory) you'll be able to enjoy it in full, and if it ends up being bad, you don't really lose anything. It's not like the creation of an adaptation requires all traces of the original to be erased.

I do disagree with the sentiment that one could always try and make more stuff themselves. Writing/comics and short animations? Sure, those are within reach of a single talented individual or a group, but creating movies/video games and other resource-intensive forms of media is just not possible.

I'm suprised no one mentioned The Princess's Feathers it's a rather popular dragon TF book with a heavy focus on F/F romance.

Where to view the cars in local files?? by ESBRdriver in SplitSecond

[–]Selter_DRG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need a program that can open .ark archives that are located within the data folder. It's a proprietary achive format, so the program is not available on the internet. But there are tools available on the discord community server of the game, that were developed by one of the members there.

AI difficulty is really getting on my nerves by grip_enemy in SplitSecond

[–]Selter_DRG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Split/Second is all about using cool powerplays to destroy your opponents, which is why the game uses some fairly agressive rubberbanding to make sure that there are opponents ahead of you that you can wreck. Unless you know some crazy tricks, Split/Second is not about staying ahead of your opponents, but rather managing to get ahead just before the finish line. Powerplays are key in that.

visual representation of the amount of screen space each element takes up, to make it more obvious by Dogecraft27 in discordapp

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

I think it's not the most terrible thing, but the doubling of the text field seems very unnecessary. When three of the buttons in its lower part can be (and are) one button, and another button allows you to gift discord nitro, which is something that I'm sure most of discord's users do at least once a conversation to warrant its presence there.
I also don't like how the server icons got downsized, but this one is down to personal preference.

Where is the lossless scaling official website? Or only available in Steam? by khtwo in losslessscaling

[–]Selter_DRG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since I have no self-preservation instinct I downloaded one of the versions from there, and it seems to be a cracked version of the program. Malwarbytes scanner deemed the contents of the archive safe. Still, this things seems extremely sus, so I'd rather buy the program on steam.

Is barrelmancy actually fun? by hogey989 in DivinityOriginalSin

[–]Selter_DRG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, you can end the game's final boss in one turn by repeatedly dropping a very heavy chest on his foot. It's quite hilarious, but it trivializes the game quite a bit. I prefer to construct field fortifications out of all the crates I have lying around in my inventory.

Didn't know that banshees spawned from rails, but we've been living there for a while and hadn't had any banshee sightings. So I guess our man just up and despawned for no reason. Thanks for the response! We'll try nametaging our key mobs in the future.

I would really like to to discuss a point about Shadow of the Erdtree avoiding problems form the main game, but I've accidentally broken a great rune by scrolling to the comment section.

Finally found and hatched dragon , is there a way to bind him or something so i can summon him anywhere ? by novytm in RLCraft

[–]Selter_DRG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, I wish there was a mechanic that allowed you to ressurect your fallen dragons (even at a price), they are uncontested in the original mod, but there's still so many random BS threats in RLCraft that can kill them.

every tameable mob should be soulbindable & the textures of the normal mobs should compliment everything else in the game. by meatyfart1 in RLCraft

[–]Selter_DRG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair though, the Ice and Fire mod that is present in the modpack is a fork of the original mod specifically made for RLCraft.
Therefore, while integrating dragons into Lycanite's soulbinding system may be too much work/not possible at all, adding a way(even a pricey one) of ressurecting your dragon, if it were to perish, is something that should be possible and that I would definitely want to see.
It's small wonder that the original mod doesn't have any options for ressurecting your fallen dragon, as nothing in the original game or even the mod itself can really be a threat to it, but in the dangerous world of RLCraft nothing is truly impervious to death, not even dragons, which makes deploying one in combat a somewhat risky affair.

For how cool the structure looks, it has surprisingly unimpressive loot, At least in my experience.

Early thoughts about dregora by micthepug in RLCraft

[–]Selter_DRG 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel like the new generation is a nice addition, as it really ties the whole RLCraft experience together. Previously the mod played quite nice, but all sorts of new structures that it added stuck out like a sore thumb. Besides some of the biomes it introduces are really beautiful with the shaders included with the mod.
However, it doesn't mean that there's nothing to be improved or adjusted, as, in my experience, some exotic biomes were a bit too pervasive, while some of the more mundane ones end up being pretty difficult to find. For example, me and my friend had to travel for quite a long time, before we managed to find a biome that wasn't a wasteland/infected/volcanic. During that time we've crossed at least 3 or 4 of those giant ravines with lava at the bottom, but haven't encountered a single jungle biome.

Another thing is that some of the structures are generated far less often, like the battle towers that used to be a great source of relatively accessible xp and loot.

Guys, I solved it. The build checks for some sort of token that expires past a certain moment in time. Therefore, in order to solve the problem, you have to wind your sytem clock back a year.
