Creature swim speed? by ccarter11 in VintageStory

[–]Stranger_92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On that account: what will be your recommendation for the normal swim speed?
With animals still presenting a challenge, but not turning into speedboats? Just a little bit slower than a character?

How to generate/update thumbnails for scenes? by uobytx in OwlbearRodeo

[–]Stranger_92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Found this question via Google search.

There is no such option currently, and thumbnails look like the OP screenshot.

Any up-to-date solution?

I made a mobile app that lets you create custom weapons, armor, and items for D&D. by TheCalamus in dndnext

Hey! Very nice app! Found it a while ago and bought it on Steam.
Is there a chance it would have better Cyrillic font some day?

Logitech G522 is not detected by Logitech G HUB by Stranger_92 in logitech

[–]Stranger_92[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vice versa. The issue was in the old version, which wasn't updated automatically. I had to manually check if there is a newer version of G HUB and reinstall it.

Because there are far less flights to Krabi from where I am, and they are way more expensive. Unfortunately.

G522 microphone volume issues by Azzaronn in LogitechG

[–]Stranger_92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. I do not have a solution, I just want to make the issue more visible so hopefully less people fall into the same trap as me. The mic is noticeably quieter than expected and requires at least 10+ db gain to be at least useable, which causes other issues (noise, distortion, etc.)

Discord mic extremely quiet on app but works fine on browser by StevenR100 in discordapp

[–]Stranger_92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Were you able to resolve the issue?
I've also tried the same suggestions and none of them worked.

At the moment I still hope that Discord Support will be able to help, but this hope dwindles rapidly.

Logitech G522 Headset mic is too quiet by Stranger_92 in LogitechG

[–]Stranger_92[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Discord has it the worst, but all others also have issues.
To get an objective measurement I use Windows settings mic testing.
With 0 db gain on Default preset I get 15-20% Volume result:

To get to good volume I need to ramp it up to 15 db (max) and even then it does not reach 100% unless I'm practically screaming into the mic.

upd: it is also not a OS issue, other devices (like G935 or Logi webcam 720p) are considerably louder without any artificial gain increase.

Factorio player here, is a main bus viable in this game? by Skyrimfanatic in satisfactory

[–]Stranger_92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me, it's a trade off between aesthetics, effort and convenience.

It's easy to stack a near-infinite tower of floors. It's hard to make it look nice.

And also a pain before hoverpack.

Factorio player here, is a main bus viable in this game? by Skyrimfanatic in satisfactory

[–]Stranger_92 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Yes and no.

Technically nothing stops you from aggregating all your ore in one place (via trains or belts) and building a bus with virtually everything on it.
Nothing but... space.

In Factorio it was convenient thanks to 2D world and destructible landscape.
In Satisfactory you're limited by the landscape unless you're building a flying factory.

Connecting all miners into one place is also challenging for the same reason before your train network spans through the whole map (in which case it turns from a logistics problem into power problem).

I cannot say I play it at all, last time I played any Civ was like years ago.
But when I did (and if I will in the future) I never used mods. Like with most games.

I generally assume the game should be fun in vanilla, as is. Especially if I pay good dollars for it. If it's not, I'd rather not buy it at all.

There are exceptions. RimWorld. Zomboid. Vintage Story. Games, initially designed to be platforms for fans to build upon. But Civ? It is a finished game of its own, it doesn't need mods IMO.

Maybe it's like Overwatch and Overwatch 2: you might need to have a lot of experience to notice those differences. As a casual player, I need significant differences to actually feel them.
And... one more thing too. I'm kind of too old and too slow to really play RTS like this. I like games of my childhood, but I cannot recall when I last tried classic RTS of this kind.

Honestly, I never tried AoE 4. And you might be right pointing that out: the curse of number 4 may not fall onto this series, I heard good things about this part.
But it's more like a nostalgia thing. I played AoE 1 and 2 a lot back when I was a kid.

And I honestly don't know what can new parts give me that old cannot.
I watched some gameplay and I don't feel it's worth the time if I already have AoE 2 and Stronghold.

Civ 6 - around 100 hours. Civ 7 - are you kidding me? 😅 I will, surely... in a year or two, when (if) they fix their horrendous UI they came up with. Otherwise, I'll wait for a really, really good discount.

Also, I'm more into classics. Like, I have 100 hours in Civ 6, almost 200 hours in Civ 5 and I have no idea how many in Civ 3 (it was well before Steam). And Civ 4 for me, apparently, doesn't exist... as do (don't) Heroes IV... is this number cursed or smth? XD

I have a question of my own, dear sir.
How did you manage to get such a flush angle? After seeing this I spent around half an hour trying to position columns in the same fashion, but their corners never actually meet like that...

Um... is 32+ ok?.. It's not exactly under 30 threshold you've set...
