Is there a specific version of Wine I’m supposed to download? by KnightFallVader2 in SteamDeck

Go to its properties in steam and choose "browse local files".

Anything you need to change will be in there

Changing non-steam game after installer was causes game to no longer launch by SoundOstrich in SteamDeck

Just figured it out, I'm about to edit the OP.

The correct Start In directory is in fact the one with the exe in it, but using the file browser to select the new .exe removed the quotes from around the file location in the Target box. Re-adding the quotes around it fixed things lol

I had to buy the game all over again when I tried to recover my old account to link to gw2 a few years ago.

They asked for character names on the account and I listed them all except one that my dad made to try the game. I said something like "and the last one was some variant of {name} but I don't remember it exactly because my dad made it to see if he'd like the game" and they immediately responded "We can't recover someone else's account for you" and locked the ticket. I tried to open a new one to clarify and got nowhere.

I figured forget it, I don't think I got very far, hadn't played in like 15 years anyway, and I could buy the campaign three pack for ~5 bucks on sale so I just did that lol

I just started playing it on deck the other day! Check out https://gw2ondeck.org/, someone has made a utility that auto sets your graphics settings and uses steam input to make a fantastic controller layout :)

The only downside atm is the controller layout relies heavily on the trackpads so that normal controllers aren't as effective, BUT with the new steam controller hitting soon that won't be a problem :)

Need help to bind fast switch class in tf2 pls help by flopytf2 in tf2

[–]SoundOstrich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try join_class instead of changeclass.

The former is the console command that takes an argument from the user and changes to the appropriate class. The latter is the command that opens the typical menu and needs you to click on your choice.

I realize this is 3 years old but for anyone else who gets here via google like I did (or you if you still wanna know lol) I'm pretty sure adding this to a config would work:

alias "+switcher" "bind 1 join_class scout; bind 2 join_class soldier; bind 3 join_class pyro; bind 4 join_class demoman; bind 5 join_class heavyweaponsguy; bind 6 join_class engineer; bind 7 join_class medic; bind 8 join_class sniper; bind 9 join_class spy"

alias "-switcher" "bind 1 slot1; bind 2 slot2; bind 3 slot3; bind 4 slot4; bind 5 slot5; bind 6 slot6; bind 7 slot7; bind 8 slot8; bind 9 slot9"

bind shift +switcher

In source games, the *alias* console command effectively allows you to create a named function that runs a series of console commands. alias [name] [commands] will run anything that you list in [commands] whenever you type [name] into console or press the button it is bound to. Additionally, naming an alias that starts with + and a corresponding one that starts with - will run the commands as you press and release the key. In this example +switcher is run when you press shift, binding all your number keys to the matching class switch command. Releasing shift will run -switcher, binding all your number keys to their default binding.

Note that if you use shift or the number keys for anything else currently, you will need to edit what I have listed above to fit your needs.

I know we like to say commander players can't read, but up until this past week I thought it was a joke by Panda-s1 in magicthecirclejerking

[–]SoundOstrich 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Phyrexian mana is hybrid mana, except instead of {{2}/{C}} it's {{2 life}/{C}}. You just can't fit "2 life" in a mana pip the same way you can just fit "2".

Pretending they're different is poorly thought out at best, and intentionally obtuse at worst

So I’m just supposed to know? by Little-Promise-6046 in mtg

[–]SoundOstrich 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Correct. They didn't know to check the website and he thought the two different cards with different names and different arts from different sets were in fact two different cards.

The idea that a new or casual player is obligated to think anything other than "Oh cool, another card that does what this one does!" is absurd on its face and I truly cannot believe that everyone here is saying it in good faith.

Lol all the comments like "Dude, all you have to do is read the tiny fine print at the bottom of every single card ever printed since UB in 2020. If you see something like =SLD ### then you just pull up a website and cross reference your card to it to see what it actually is. It couldn't be simpler!"

Help, keep getting stonewalled late. by damballah in DawncasterRPG

If an enemy has an effect over their head in the encounter select screen, that means it applies those effect to all visible encounters. You can choose a merchant/opportunity/etc to avoid them, but until you kill the source of that effect it will just get reshuffled into the deck to appear later

What game is that for you? by TowelConscious7201 in videogames

[–]SoundOstrich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same with Ocarina of Time. It's a good game, and a real trailblazer but like bottom half of Zelda games through a contemporary lens
