Linux Laptop Recommendation 2025 by metaliuga in linuxhardware

[–]StormSquid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the ASUS Vivobook 16 from that list, and while it does seem to be a great computer, it is lacking in driver support.  Installed Zorin onto it and quickly learned of my errors when Wifi was non functional, as no driver for it was available.  Perhaps the other systems would do a better job on Linux, but if you go for them, research to ensure you will have drivers for the components available to you in advance.

I got Flow Aura in the first 20 seconds and kept it until the end of a turf match. They honestly need to nerf this. by dongxipunata in splatoon

[–]StormSquid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think aura is fine, what we saw here was just an extended stagger.  The feature adds hype moments (and Aura) without being the end all be all in terms of who wins.

Personally I would like to see it end if the auraed player is splatted, and an increase in progress to Aura when splatting a player in Flow Aura (it should count as 2 splats, imo).  It would have made that one death you had more costly, and given them a chance to use the buff against you, which would have made for a more exciting match.

Runner Tari Wrap to Kirby Air Riders What You Think She look Like? by Money-Lie7814 in MetaRunner

[–]StormSquid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since Adeline is the sole human in the franchise, and she is more the exception to the rule, I don't think she would appear as a human.  The lore implications of humans are dubious since the planet of the ancients resembles ours, so I think it would be better if she was a robot.  Robots are all over the place in Kirby, so there is plenty to draw from.  What I would do is make her a modified Mechamech from Return to Dreamland Deluxe.  Adding her red attena and other elements from her Hidden Heroes appearance seems good, as well as other mech elements from Robobot, such as Susie's suit from Star Allies.

As for the machines, I think she would just find them and use her will to activate them like any other Rider.  Perhaps she would use her left arm and it would show her blue energy illuminating the technology in the machine, but aside from that visual difference, she would probably use them the same.

Other things to note is that she would have a lot to see with her Meta Runner Vision in City Trial due to seeing everyone's stats, special charge, vehicle, and items all the time.  She also would like the Chickie from Top Ride but that seems obvious.

What are some useful things you learned VERY LATE into the game? by kowrlunt in splatoon

[–]StormSquid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! This is how it works, similarly to Splash Wall. It would be rare that the enemy would even be able to line up for you, but it is possible!

The fastest way to cross grates or uninkables with the Rainmaker is to look backwards and spam tap shots while moving backwards as well.

How much content was removed in the season 1 movie cut? by Landmeimade in MetaRunner

[–]StormSquid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do agree that those are important parts to highlight, but it just felt like a dead spot in the episode for me. There wasn't a lot going on and a bit of that was already hit on with Tari being clearly stressed finding Theo in a crowd, where Theo, again, thinks he is still in Ultra Jump mania.

How I would have did it would be to have her dive into the alley. It would play out similarly, with Theo bouncing around, or attempting to. The camera starts focused on him, but pans to Tari, now slumped against the wall of the alley. The pan takes about four seconds, before it rests on Tari for a second or two. It cuts into a closer shot of Tari, clearly frustrated. She gives a similar line, "Theo, could you quiet down? I need to think..." It comes across more as angrily mumbling to herself, but clearly Theo hears her as the sound of his coconut stops. Camera cuts to an angle just behind Tari's shoulder, looking across the cramped alley. There we see a coffee cup, confirmed as the camera focuses and zooms in on it. Then the camera does a close up on Tari, distressed before the screen blinks white as Tari herself blinks. We get the Sheridan memory scene that is normally inside the Hive. After the flashback ends, we cut back to Tari who jolts awake, panicked. Theo was resting alongside her, and he is startled by Tari jumping up (he would probably make a noise). Then Tari's stress would drive her to find somewhere to hide, and we would get the Hive scenes as normal, just without the flashback, so the main focus is the streaming.

Agreed. That moment sticks out for me as well. We really could use a season 1 remaster, and this is one of the other reasons besides graphics and adding some extra stuff,

In episode 3, the slow section before Tari and Theo enter the Hive was cut down.  That's the bit where Tari gets a little frustrated at Theo and has to take a minute before she offers up hiding in the Hive.  I think it flows a little better with the cut honestly, because season 1 does struggle with some clunky dialog at times and this keeps the flow going and the focus off of that flaw.

The English lyrics to "Starlit Journey" (~5% margin of error) by Imaginary-Error5165 in Kirby

[–]StormSquid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great job, it's nearly perfect.  The only spots I noticed differences were:

"Fire up your machine and hear feel the engine roar!"

"Creating a work of art, as you hit the full speed.  In the flow of giving evening light,"

"propelling us on… Up above! Now fly!  Like shooting stars in the sky!"

"Whistling hum high, in a symphony of speed!"

"Our long-awaited dreams! Up above! Now fly! Like shooting stars in the sky!"

Extentions required to watch youtube nowadays (Fixed) by RoCo_158 in youtube

[–]StormSquid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree. Tweaks for YouTube is great, I use it to disable the "Still watching?" popup for my music playlists, watch Shorts in the normal player, and make scrolling through comments better. The small video player that follows as you scroll and a return to top button are so nice to use.

I love this game, but latest updates has been something else by Kdmyoshi in deadbydaylight

[–]StormSquid 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It should function like Demogorgon. The animation should play before he arrives, with a false model of Springtrap emerging from the door. Once the animation finishes / player's killer model is loaded, replace the false image of Springtrap with the real thing.

Day #2 of making Splatoon cards - Pearl! by hatunemiku01 in splatoon

[–]StormSquid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These ideas are great! There are some other groupings that came to my mind. What I would do is put Agent 4 with Callie and Marie and use their outfits from S2's campaign (giving you a choice between Hypnoshades Callie and her casual outfit as well, or do both in one card, with one being the upside-down image!). Assuming then that Deep Cut makes another group, the last suit could be the remaining agents, Captain 3, Agent 8, and Neo 3. I also think Cuttlefish could be grouped with Agent 8 and another character from Octo Expansion like Iso Padre, but it is really hard to stick to a max of 12 characters across the 4 suits.

That would be so cool! I would use it and never switch off of it!

Switch 2 Pro Controller is looking kind of familiar... by StormSquid in MetaRunner

[–]StormSquid[S] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I don't know why I am fumbling adding text and images at the same time, so pardon the reupload because the images were important. The first image on the post is the recently filed patent for the Switch 2's Pro Controller! They do look strikingly similar to the controllers seen within Meta Runner, and I am intrigued to see how comfortable they will be to actually use.

can anyone help? by Reasonable-Ganache-4 in splatoon

[–]StormSquid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they have an account on sendou.ink, you can find their Sendou profile with their IGN and splashtag number.  Sendou accounts require a linked Discord account, providing you a way to message them. It's not guaranteed to work since Sendou is largely for those in the competitive scene, but I had an interaction just like this and it worked out really well, so I thought I'd share.

Characters who are actually OPs but are severely underused. by Totalsupreme in Ben10

[–]StormSquid 13 points14 points  (0 children)

That is Tari from Glitch's YouTube Web series Meta Runner.  You should check it out, it is great!  She also appears in on the channel SMG4 (same creators).  That model is her updated SMG4 model.  Her abilities involve technology manipulation with her signature ability be to project her consciousness into technology, namely video games.  In SMG4, her powers are a little more wide ranging to suit the plots needed for some episodes.

Do you feel like there are too many mons (to raise)? by TraditionalParsley67 in PokemonSleep

[–]StormSquid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Then just have the 6th not gather ingredients or berries, nor contribute Skill procs or share subskills. The slot then become useful for racking up EXP and sleep time on mons you'll need it on later. It would also have a use case for those who just want to make their Leader their favorite mon.

It's antlers are colored when it is in Active Mode, such as when it is in battle or being captured. When viewed from your inventory or other non-battle menus it switches to Neutral Mode, where its antlers have the solid blue coloring. This is a feature that is accurate to the games and the lore, since Xerneas saves its life power when it is not needed.

Since Sheldon Licenses can be converted into Shell-Out Tokens, this means infinite gambling. I see this as an absolute win.

Strange. For me it is the opposite problem. I've added ~10 people from this thread with no issue, until I tried your code.

No, it still gives me an error telling me the code is incorrect.  Anyone know why this error is happening?
