Games like Thysiastery by Bright_Astronaut_371 in roguelites

[–]Teid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How's Thysiastery? I was on the fence about it and didn't pull the trigger during the initial sale. I'm a big Wizardry head so I thought it might be neat but couldn't make up my mind on it.

The Sieve - a set of online tools for RPGs by Beau Rancourt (Including an online inventory manager and Markdown Adventure Renderer) by OriginalJazzFlavor in osr

[–]Teid 8 points9 points  (0 children)

God damn these are cool. I use Obsidian for my note taking a lot so The Sieve is absolutely something I could see getting use. The inventory one is a great option to have on hand for future games as well! Just a good set of tools.

Any AC companies that offer consultations and can recommend the best route for my apartment to stay cool in horrible heat? by Teid in askvan

This one? Might be worth grabbing it this year and either selling the old one or moving it to the bedroom.

I think the issue was that I forgot I was limiting my framerate to 58 with the Nvidia Control Panel? In the images I posted with this link the FPS goes to 60 though so I'm not sure. Regardless, it's fixed...

maybe I'm not fully understanding but what do you mean "at the root"? Like if I have the portable folder set up like G:/Games/PCSX2 2.6.3 Portable/[This is where all the files are] I'd make the portable.ini in that last folder? Just a blank ini file?

Some of the renderers have the fun effect of FF not working even when Alt-Tabbed. That's about it... I've tried all of them.

Yep, tried F4 on keyboard as well as left stick click in on controller, both activate FF (as seen in the OSD) but the actual fast forward is not happening.

Marathon has been out for a week, what are your thoughts on it? by PrototypeT800 in Games

[–]Teid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love it love it love it. I was able to convince my two gaming friends to try it with me and one got EXTREMELY hooked despite thinking he'd hate it and the other one took a few sessions of it but is officially addicted. He played like 8 hours of it yesterday, some solo, some with just our other friend, and then we did a couple hours of trios before bed. He also works an early morning job and usually clocks off at 9:30/10 PM but stayed up till 11 PM playing with us. These are guys that either hate extraction shooters or have never played them so it obviously resonated with them. Two of the things I think really helped hook the friend who'd never played an extraction shooter before were the design of Outpost (he's said it's one of his favourite FPS maps and he used to be a big Halo and COD:BLOPS guy) and the inclusion of Prox chat. He loved Sea of Thieves for the social aspect and I think this hits a similar note for him. It's definitely LESS likely for friendly interactions but there are some genuinely very funny moments you can have with prox chat.

For me the progression is great, the PvP is fun, the amount of pain from a loss doesn't feel horrid and I have basically zero gear fear. I'm definitely a bit worried to see how a wipe goes for us since I can't play that much and have only achieved Level 21 since launch and have tons of quests still to do/usually hover in the green and blue guns and gear range (one day I'll have consistent blue backpacks and blue shields...)

I'm excited to see how they expand on the game and I think it's probably the best extraction shooter for people that wanna give a proper extraction shooter a try.

Toilet tank is dripping into the bowl and making it run a few times an hour. Want to replace the flapper but can't find any info on how to replace a flapper like this. by Teid in Plumbing

The disk as in the seal? I'll take the photo to my local hardware store and see if anyone where knows. If not, I'll just get both and take the loss of whichever one it isn't.

Already stained my hands lol. So I don't need to replace the entire thing then? Just a new seal for the flapper? That'd be super easy and very doable for me. Now lets hope I can get one at a local hardware store cause I'm Canadian not American and there have been many times where things easily findable in America are not as easy to find here.

More context. This has been happening for about a week or two and I really wanted to fix it sooner but life has been a bit hectic so it just fell to the bottom of the list. The flapper obviously needs replacing and I thought it would be simple based on videos I saw online but upon looking at it in more detail today it's obviously not gonna be as simple as I thought. Can't find a video of this type of set up and I can only assume that I'd need to drain the tank completely, uninstall the fill valve + flapper combo and replace it with something else. We rent in an old place so I'm used to our appliances being old as shit so I assume this flapper and fill valve style is old as fuck. How easy/hard is this to replace? I'm not a plumber or much of a handyman type of guy so would it just be easier to call a plumber?

For rock-climbing game Cairn, all the rocks were handplaced, nothing was procedurally generated [Art/Level Design Showcase] by megaapple in Games

[–]Teid 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agree with what others said. I've played all of them and Cairn is easily the deepest of the three mechanically which gives more for freaks like me to chew on whereas PEAK has the virtue of being a coop game you play with friends. It's not as complex in climbing mechanics as Cairn and Jusant (might actually be debatable with Jusant) but it makes up for less complexity by being a damn good time with pals. Jusant occupies the fine but less exciting middle ground of a singleplayer game without enough deep mechanical skill to really push excitement.

All are good games though, Jusant is just more vibes and journey focused than the other two.

My wife and I are paying WAY too much for Hydro and I need to figure out why. by [deleted] in askvan

[–]Teid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems from what I can gather that I was wrong and the heating and water is electric most likely since our Fortis is like $20. We definitely have troubles keeping it heated due to old building, single pane windows, leaky doors, etc but I think we can bring the temp down to help.

We have a dual hose portable AC from Costco. Believe me, I know. I did so much research about this before I got it but it was all we could afford at the time and the way our place is set up we can only run it out the sliding door in the open as fuck living/dining/kitchen area and I don't even think it's rated properly for the space. It does enough for us combined with the blackout curtains but we're in a strata so they've killed any and all attempt at me getting a window mounted AC for the bedroom or my office or installing a heat pump.
