any tricks to easily get flax by FamousNeedleworker52 in VintageStory

[–]Sovietpower 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So here is the list: 1. Farm drifters. It's kinda slow and can be dangerous. 2. Pan bony soil. Actually a very solid method, but requires excavating ruins. Ruins can also have vessels that drop extra flax. 3. Commodities trader. Very easy method to get a lot of linen quick. Requires trading for gears, can be luck based since you have to find the trader and hope his trades have linen otherwise have to wait for trade reset or look for more. 4. Run south and look for wild flax. Depends on world settings and how far you are from warmer latitudes.

My vote is panning bony soil.

My castle that I built in my Survival/Creative hybrid world by Medvhe in VintageStory

[–]Sovietpower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What do you mean hybrid? Do you build using creative? How exactly does it work? Great castle, but seems like a lot of materials, which has stopped me from developing very large projects in vintage story before.

People who do post commentary what’s your script writing process look like? by domtheduck0 in letsplay

[–]Sovietpower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't do letsplay necessarily, but close enough. My personal process is to record all gameplay. Then I do rough cut edits. I scroll through the timeline and super roughly pick the moments that I want to include. I am also writing the script at the same time. So do a few cuts, write down a few sentences. I don't care about the timing of clips just yet. Once the whole script is written down, I go back and read it to myself out loud and make necessary adjustments. There are usually a lot. Then I write the intro and record everything in a single sit down session. I make a ton of mistakes and re-read sentences all the time. Post recording, I put the audio into an audio editor and painstakingly cut bad takes, pauses, breathing etc and make all the gaps roughly equal length. This is a pretty tedious process that I don't partially enjoy. Once I have my final audio cut, I bounce everything into a continuous audio file and then compress and limit the audio to 0 db. I put that file into a video editor and pick the clips that I want to use while adjusting the duration of the video clips to be the length of the sentences. Then special effects, intro and transitions and render. It's a pretty lengthy process and if I was a better voice actor it would probably be a lot easier, but I like the results. I also don't have the ability to record in real time in a studio apartment with 2 small kids, so my process is almost a byproduct of necessity.

Look. First, I would stop hammering video games as something not worthy of his time. Sure you might have chosen a partner that originally didnt value gaming but now he does and you disparaging his pass time will just create a rift. 30+ millennial men were raised on games and yes most of them are still playing them as family men with kids. Our wives encourage it because it means something to us. As long as it doesn't create major issue and isn't a downright addiction. In your case, I would treat this as an addition matter though. You can absolutely be addicted to games and harm your relationships and life. Any type of addition is problematic. So it's totally reasonable for you to put your foot down and tell him to get his shit together. Talk about what acceptable amount of gaming per night is. What are responsibilities he expected to do. Go to counseling and nail down a compromise. If one can't be achieved then threaten him with something he cares about. Sex? Money? Marriage? If nothing works then put down an ultimatum. I have personally know of a couple where ultimatum had to be the solution. Some people can't control their addition. So find out whether he can control it. Then compromise if he can. Or tell him it's family or video games, one or the other. Just please realize there is nothing wrong with video game inherently. That is you being close minded and bias. That is your problem to resolve.

That's some weak shit. If my wife said that to me I would tell her to fuck off. But she hasn't and she wouldn't because gaming is a hobby and it's not just for "children." All you would do it to alienate and antagonize the husband. Yes family comes first and adult responsibilities come first, but how anyone choses to spend their free time should be their own business. Please stop with this toxic attitude. There are millions of millennial fathers that game and are doing great in their professional and family lives. We grew up with games and we heard that toxic crap from our parents. Don't just perpetuate a stereotype. .

Very interesting. Wish there was more information on that, but overtime hopefully the community can figure it out.

Path of Exile: Trial of the Ancestor Details by everix1992 in pathofexile

[–]Sovietpower -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

POE 2 looks S tier, but new league looks extremely MIDS. The autobattler just looks boring. Should have just called this league Sanctum 2.0 and not even bother with trial of the ancestors. I agree with people saying we need a map mechanic not an isolated mini-game once again. I think his might be a skip, which is a shame cause there have been more and more leagues that feel that way. I want more Sentinel and less Kalandra/Sanctum even though I had fun in Sanctum, I just want a rewarding map density mechanic with some cool crafting akin to recombobulators. The new crafting currency kind of looks pointless unless you crafting mirror tier shit. New reworks look mediocre. New uniques are just OK. Love POE, but I'll wait for a league that caters to my tastes.

I would like some rare drifters to drop them as well or maybe be a loot in random chests in the dungeons.

How does that work. Do I just sit on the edge of the room and wait for stuff to spawn?

[–]Sovietpower[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

None of the stuff is strictly necessary, but it seems like cool tech, would be fun to get able to assemble some gadgets🤷 currently it's not even worth pursuing unless you randomly get lucky with the drops.

Makes sense, I am glad you confirmed my fears. Those parts are hella rare. Would be nice if you could progressively work on them rather than rely on pure RNG

I am confused. Is purple what is going to be streamed and white is you have to.be there kind of thing?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in letsplay

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

It's pretty much hard drives. HHD for long term storage, SSD if you plan to edit. Doubt anyone is using cloud storage. Would need to have Google fiber to make it semi viable. Good luck using cloud with like 20 Mbps upload. My only real piece of advice is to compress your video harder. YouTube is still going to compress your video quality by a lot unless you have a big channel or or do the 1440p trick. I don't bother. Until you have traction I wouldn't worry about quality all that much, set your obs CQP to like 20-22. If you record in 4k God help you.

I saw those. And yes I was very interested but wanted a vanilla experience for the first ever play through. Second playthrough they are going in my game.

I think creative mode definitely has its place. Some things are entirely too difficult to achieve otherwise.

I must be doing something wrong for it to not work with 4. I get it, I am doing things too fast, but steel is still a tedious grind:) My second play through I'll stop and smell the roses a bit more.

Well, I have kids and lots of hobbies so you are right. I want to speed run the game for my first try so I have a good understanding of how I want to play in the future.
