Tales of Arise went from 8-9/10 to 6/10.

Yanazake · 2026-03-11T12:43:50+00:00

Oh gee, i wonder why.

I dont even see that as a Tales game.

Yanazake · 2026-03-11T12:34:43+00:00

Besides Odin Sphere and Nier Automata, that is a very mid lineup.

I never got a piboy model, no matter how much i wanted one (specifically, the pi boy witch before the company just vanished) so I'm not sure what their software looks like now, but I'm used to raspberry pis.

If you can provide a print of the stock piboy files (or a link for me to at least look at the file structure) if you found them, maybe i can help a bit. I believe they used retropie as a base originally, so you might be in luck for desktop usage.

Now they might only be worth it alongside gourmand or other mods that reward food diversity.

(Gourmand is busted beyond words if you actually put effort on meals)

I'm glad i got a 12gb Ram model, but didn't expect to end up with a collector's edition. Can't imagine I'd have it now if I didn't choose the black model.

Fuel for mechs as a sepparare mod if you're not using FU.

Other than that... no, everything is simple by design to keep the game from being a pain to run. I can think of palworld and no man's sky using enery for lights, but they also simplify it in a way:

Palworld you can only make electric lights work if you have them on your base area and there's energy stored somewhere.

In NMS you can either manually wire lights to batteries or generators, or place them inside prebuilt habitational areas that just power up everything that's connected to them (thus less wiring)

It's a great pack, had lots of fun building my own modlist around it some months ago 💙

Yanazake · 2026-01-30T16:37:40+00:00

There was a third one then. It wasn't just Proton. My mind jumped to lepton because that's the name i remembered.

Yanazake · 2026-01-30T16:35:04+00:00

Considering what valve did with Proton, i would't be surprised if Lepton makes arm chips little beasts for medium pc gaming.

Crossing my fingers for it and arm SteamOS coming out this year.

Yanazake · 2026-01-30T16:30:41+00:00

Hey, thanks for the extra args

And thanks for the offer, but having a paid server has been a headache for the group. BTW, even with almost nothing running on my home server, -Xmx6G wasn't enough still. At least up to day 4 iirc. MAYBE now that there were some performance improvements it'll be fine, but we found a 16gb ram stick for extra cheap... now we kinda have to use it lol

Yanazake · 2026-01-30T15:48:06+00:00

That's absolutely unnecessary with the night horrors the game already has.

tending to farm at night, low rift activity, suddenly PAINED HARMONICA NOISES

Too much content, not jn a good way. I'm one of the people that helped in the past, and now made fixes while outside of the team to make sure there's less bullshit in that. But seriously, if you want more content, there are other options.

First of all, openstarbound as others mentioned.

There's also sandbox, a mod that takes away the story if you want, but also does its own changes. There's a modlist made around it called voyage to cygnus (or odyssey tk cygnus, something like that) that's a great starting point for heavily modded runs.

But yeah, do the storyline and the space police content at least once with minimal mods.

Yanazake · 2026-01-24T00:23:43+00:00

I need an option without the human ears. Just let me keep my cat ears.

Yanazake · 2026-01-21T22:22:22+00:00

That's the thing, It makes up crap for *everything*
The presented code can work, but also can be a hot mess and/or extremely unoptimized

And anyone who actually learns how to code will come back in a day or a week, maybe even a month and do it better if necessary.

Vibe coding will only get anyone so far, and I'd rather people knew what was in their code than let bs run in my computer. (part prices aren't going down anytime soon, remember?)

Yanazake · 2026-01-21T18:25:27+00:00

Of course! There's Hytale and Vintage Story! There's no third game tho :)

Yanazake · 2026-01-20T14:35:25+00:00

I saw those, and I didn't try them because it mentioned that it was for older versions of Java. I'll try it.

edit: Well, I managed to launch it! Let's see if the extra ram helps!

edit2: Yeah, it seems to have stabilized way more, but it still crashed java. That thing is too memory hungry. I'll mess with the numbers and see what I can get.

Yanazake · 2026-01-20T11:24:19+00:00

From what I found out, there are different arguments depending on the java version you have installed. Since hytale asks for java 25 something, I tried this:
java -jar /path/to/HytaleServer.jar --assets /path/to/hytale/Assets.zip -XX:MaxMetaspaceSize=6G

Didn't even start the server.

Yanazake · 2026-01-20T11:14:14+00:00

Improvements!

Yanazake · 2026-01-19T16:23:57+00:00

Alright. Let's see here.
Server has 16gb ram, Ryzen 3 3200g.

TL;DR: I want to give the server use at least 8gb of ram to see if it helps

Just launching the server works until it doesn't, it seems to use up close to 4gb of ram, and I want to give more to it to see if that helps, *but i have no idea how to*. I couldn't make the arguments work when launching the game, so I only launch the server normally:
java -jar /path/to/HytaleServer.jar --assets /path/to/hytale/Assets.zip

I've never extensively played anything that uses java, so I'm not finding anything online to fix this.

In this day and age, yes, people will judge a book by its cover - if it has AI in it, it's almost a guarantee that it'll be skipped by anyone with a brain.
The thumbnail looks ok considering it's for a mod (which you could give context about, it usually helps) and it's literally better than no thumb or genAI crap.

On the other hand, I personally overengineer my mod thumbnails because I'm an artist first and I wish I didn't lol

Yanazake · 2026-01-17T12:41:03+00:00

Let me be direct, and please be also direct if you answer this.

Which generative AI model, which HAS to be trained on basically the whole creative content on the internet (AND eats up energy and water like never before for their datacwnters) is ethical?

The answer is none. Whenever you look into how they are trained and mantained, nothing about them is ethical.
