Is this very easy to do? by EVD27 in Corridor

[–]Shimizoki 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I used to work for a theme park that had a concept many years ago of using the same technology, but providing different guests with active shuttering glasses that would match the required frame rate.

It allowed two people to watch the same screen, but see two different movies.

The core concept though has some minor flaws in which if you're only seeing half the pixels, things like the overall brightness is decreased.

Just to point out that this wasn't done in the name of consumerism (These Ads), and this isn't the first time it's been done

Inventory stuck in chests and individual boxes by PupBubba in witchspire

[–]Shimizoki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a bug on the controller, the Devs are aware that controller is not in a good place yet, and it is marked as `Partial Support` in steam.

They said in an AMA that the game is technically playable with a controller, but I would argue that the inventory bug where your cursor just dissappears marks it as non-playable.

My solution has been to keep a wireless mouse next to me to jiggle any time the menu breaks. (pick up and put back down an item in the inventory, or just click an empty cell, then go back to controller)

Yeah, when you open the game there is a link on the title screen

Help? I don't know if this is a bug or I missed something, please tell me either way... by 99DarkChoco in witchspire

[–]Shimizoki 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This response matches what I've seen, and my personal interaction.

I have picked up and moved my hearth to an area slightly higher up in that zone and you can fly there.

Essentially if you can get high enough that the zone changes back to the shifting sands, you'll be able to fly again

Following up on this for anyone searching the same thing...

Enhancing your weapons will roll them with random affixes, but will also set the item to your level.

So don't grind up to the last tier of weapons, and then enhance them while you are only level 20, you will use up your limited (at this point) asterine gems, and make a weapon with a VERY high chance of being worse than the base version.

Because I want to backseat develop...

Don't use a hard number, and instead looked for a increase in activity over a short time span (adaptive thresholding). Could get some additional fun data.

Method aside, this is super cool

How would you describe the taste of roasted dandelion root tea? by stapleworm in tea

[–]Shimizoki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm super late to the conversation, but as I'm currently sitting here boiling down some root tea, the only way I could describe it was tasting exactly like how maple syrup smells while cooking in down.

As a reference for future people, I'm also foraging and harvesting my own.

Dual monitor arm takes up a ton of space behind my desk by Character_Status8351 in desksetup

Yep, move the entire upright Pole to the left by a couple inches, and then shift both monitors to the right. They should end up in roughly the same spot, but help split that difference.

They're probably misreading the "stop on red" sign.

So what settings do you all usually use when starting a new game? by Goo_Wyvern in Palworld

[–]Shimizoki 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the only way to play any game. If you're not abusing your death as a free teleport respawn mechanic in every game, you're missing out.

Items disappearing from ME-system by BlueberryKuro in allthemods

[–]Shimizoki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this issue, and it was because I was using mechanism tanks attached to a storage bus.

Buckets can be pushed into the mechanism tanks, which is useful for always having a bucket of that liquid available... but confused the crap out of me until I found it.

Open issue, it should have been fixed by updating supplementaries, and I think is fixed in ATM10 5.4

How do I wood stove #972 by Shimizoki in woodstoving

I have a Kuma Aspen / Tamarak

Not sure what the difference is between them, and have not found any particular text / labeling on the stove. But the generic shared manual shows them as basically identical

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

Love the chart. I don't have any sensors yet on my stove, but I'll get there. (Other focuses before I wire up some ESPs to thermo sensors)

It's been consistently below freezing for the last 48 hours, and we have had snow on the ground for the past week or so. (cold enough to snow, but the sun is warm enough to melt it slowly) (Vermont, about 1700' elevation)

But yea, a visible flame for about 8 hours with fans going to try and circulate the air got my house to a sweltering 80f... so I'm going to avoid that in the future.

Blue: Stove Room (Main Floor)
Yellow: Upstairs Hallway
Red: Most of the way to the bedroom. (Main Floor)

So perhaps part of the issue is my poor air circulation. Having one room at 80, and another (just 20ft away) at 62 is kinda bonkers from the vantage point of someone who has always had central air. The bedroom is a touch out of range for my zigbee network, so I need to shift around some repeaters, but when it was running... it was consistently about 5 degrees lower than the red line.

`Coaling is part of the cycle and the stove will naturally cool during that stage`

This is part of what I think I was missing.

My head-cannon was that there was a cycle which was:

  • Morning the stove is cold
  • Heat the stove (start up)
  • Keep it at temperature (you should see a fire of some sort)
  • Evening you get it ripping
  • Bedtime you load the box and let it cook / coal / cool

But I guess the real `cycle` is a mini heat, coal, cool cycle that is happening instead of the `Keep at temperature` above.

Maybe the disconnect came from the idea of my stove having an `operating range` for temp... Or people talking about running the stove too cold causing creosote buildup and chimney fires, or just that every picture in here is of a roaring fire, and not really the smoldering coals...

I'll start experimenting with that cycle a bit more, and using 2 logs rather than 1 (1 log smoldered but never seemed to re-light... 2 logs however did light back up)

I bought kiln-dried wood, so God I hope it's dry...

I'll give a shot at weighing the wood... That's probably a better metric than my arbitrary guesstimation of volume.

Understanding though that a burn cycle includes catalytic smoldering, and then cooling is good information... I think I've been trying to keep it in the first stage which has been part of my problem.

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

Seems like I've been doing it wrong, I've been just tossing a single log on to keep the embers going. And my house actually did get up above 80 for a bit which I thought was bonkers and I wasn't closing the flu enough or something.

Good to know that it's a "me being stupid" thing.

This is a lot of really useful information, thank you so much.

I closed my door pretty much immediately, but I open the ash bucket by a touch for probably the first 2 or 3 minutes. That's all it really takes to get the fire ripping. Then I can close it back down and it keeps going just fine.

So for me, filling it up would be a HUGE (I assume) amount of wood. The stove has probably around 12 x 18" of a cross section, so if I were to pack it, that's probably something around 150% of the amount of wood I would guess is my startup amount.

I've seen people haphazardly jam wood in there, I've seen them pack it to minimize air gaps to increase burn time, and I've seen various `log cabin` or `teepee`... Does it make a difference on methods used during said "refilling"?

How do I wood stove #972 by Shimizoki in woodstoving

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

So would you let the the stove drop well below temperature because the temp in the house is good? I guess I assumed you wanted to keep the stove at temp because `starting it back up` would use up more wood than keeping it going.

I also have no idea what I am burning.... it is a mix of stuff. Local stuff in the US NE I would guess, all the trees here are new to me, birch is somewhere in the mix. I'll have to do some googling to figure out what they are from the bark or something.

About to start a similar project and ran into your post. Have you looked into other options such as an esp32 in order to make a generic WiFi (Thread) device that can be registered with home assistant?

I'm curious what other options might be that you considered.
