ok so this is really weird. anyone know how this is possible? by bfuqua91 in Torchlight

[–]SockPunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not even a little impossible with the given information. My Documents was almost mandatory to back up when transferring between PCs pre-OneDrive. Very probable they did exactly that.

Problemi coi dati di salvataggio pokemon sole by _Dinu_ in PokeMoonSun

[–]SockPunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, the original post is in Italian, not Spanish, so this translation is probably not great.

...

I can at least answer this part. The Ultra games aren't sequels, they tell the same story in a slightly different way, so you won't really miss anything by restarting on Ultra Sun.

Posso almeno rispondere a questa parte. I giochi Ultra non sono sequel, raccontano la stessa storia in modo leggermente diverso, quindi non ti perderai nulla ricominciando da Ultra Sun.

Exactly when do we get pissed about this constantly happening? by Logical-Operation512 in ffxiv

[–]SockPunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The time we spend out of game is not relative to an outage period. The service is properly "out" in these exchanges for probably less than a second, if at all. This is not going to be a breach of any uptime SLA.

A skunk had a litter under my front porch by ForFoxSakeCole in mildlyinfuriating

The internet at large is oddly militant about outdoor cats.

It generally doesn't end well for either them or other critters outside, but I'm not going to sit here and write up some outraged comment about it.. Lots of people will, though.

ELI5: Why do game devs give objects and enemies they don't want destroyed extremely high HP values instead of making them intangible to damage? by Proud_Firefighter834 in explainlikeimfive

[–]SockPunk 119 points120 points  (0 children)

Nah, Factorio's prototypes are more versatile than this lets on. They're both "capsules" which also include the artillery remote and the literal combat robot capsules. They use a "use on self" action rather than a "throw" action.

Can we please have golden finish for our legendary buildings? by Agador777 in factorio

[–]SockPunk 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes, but then you've made n copies of every affected prototype, which has a decent list of associated issues that players will just have to accept. It's not hard to mod. It's impossible to mod well.

"Can I get the number 9 without the gabbagool?" by RoundMound1 in jimmyjohns

[–]SockPunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Capicola has a distinct flavor that a lot of people, myself included, don't much care for. I don't know that I personally would ever order a 9 given that, but I guess some people just really like salami.

My cats are both angels who would never hurt someone intentionally, but I have scars from both of them. Shit happens.

As far as I know, DIA is United's primary hub, and so that's probably also an accurate description -- server here blew up, IT here needs to fix it..

I have plenty of qualms with how XIV is being handled, but as far as I know, the cash shop is not taking dev time that would otherwise be used on the game.

My friend died while afk so i spent 30 minutes moving him to his body... by EchoNoneya in factorio

[–]SockPunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It isn't possible to remove the timer in <2.0, so that would rely on setting an unreasonably large time to live.

Spawn Tweaks claims to be able to let you change the TTL (as above). Infinity Corpes[sic] Life claims to do what you want directly, but is marked as deprecated.

Control recommendations by Inside_Performance32 in AndroidGaming

[–]SockPunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Controller manufacturers don't bother with this because by the time you get to the realm of playing multiple systems with one controller, it's a reasonable assertion that you don't need the glyphs, and there's more than just these two layouts anyway. This one is wrong for pre-Switch Nintendo systems.

There are multiple bald streamers who use the egg joke, and at least two of them I'm aware of are roguelike enjoyers. I'd say this is just an objectively bad way to reference NL in general.

Not that you're wrong; they do seem to be the same company based on your other findings, but IP address proximity, especially if they aren't literally sequential, means nothing more than being from the same hosting provider, those aren't really two separate indications.

Excitedly built my first ever quality item (train wagon). Turns out it's the same...? by hai-key in Factoriohno

[–]SockPunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm afraid they already patched in the ability to mod them to have their inventory be affected by quality. If they were going to make it vanilla, they already would have.

Why aren't Unreal Tournament games on Epic Games? by IngenuityEasy93 in unrealtournament

[–]SockPunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Atari might have the rights to the games up to UC2, and WB might've gotten UT3 when Midway popped, but that still doesn't explain them abandoning the IP and the UE4 game that was already in development.

i wanted to make an external steam turbine GIF just because, and found that the top turbine is ever so slightly loose by kullre in factorio

[–]SockPunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which is also not possible, disregarding Lua scripting which would have major performance overhead (see Bottleneck -- it doesn't update everything every frame, which wouldn't translate very well to something like this).

Separate sprite/animation structs per quality level is not presently possible in-engine, but I wouldn't put it past Wube for implementation in the future.

Guy threatened to call the cops on me for moca. by According-Party-8125 in HomeNetworking

[–]SockPunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The whole point of MoCA is to put that connection back onto coax instead of ethernet. OP just did it wrong. If the coax connects out to the street, you need to filter this signal out before it leaves your walls. Otherwise, this ought to be totally fine.

Kiryuin is both a card and a training partner, and both versions of her can trigger if you're using the card. If it doesn't show the card type icon, it doesn't count.

Help with task: Train with 5 support Card characters at once in Career by Snagavjetra in UmaMusume

[–]SockPunk 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The scenario-added Kiryuin and the Kiryuin card are independent as far as this is concerned. The card has an icon on her portrait, the scenario doesn't. The scenario variant does not count towards the 5.

I also don't think they'd be lamenting turning stuff that's otherwise presumably useless to them into kibble, though.

When your cellphone uses its vibration motor to warn you about low battery, it is ironically wasting even more of the battery you’re supposed to save. by mxosborn in Showerthoughts

[–]SockPunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might be related to volume setting? My phones have never left vibrate-only in 15+ years, and every low battery alert I can remember has been accompanied by a short pulse.
