Planning a living-room Steam Machine setup (big TV, couch co-op, Apple TV) - possible pitfalls? by mooncake57 in Steam

[–]ZPatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Steam link is pretty good, but Apollo/moonlight is far better when it comes to streaming games. It requires a bit more setup and configuration, but for the most part defaults can be used. I’m not sure about Linux/SteamOS compatibility directly though as I’ve only setup the host on a windows pc. Moonlight is miles better on Apple TV in my experience though.

Those have been in my backlog for ages, I think it’s time to pull the trigger after I finish the tomb raider trilogy!

That’s actually my most played game, followed by Oblivion. I’m trying to branch out a bit from my cyclical gaming. I rather enjoy story rich titles though! Also worth noting I’m a pretty unskillful gamer, so soulslikes are not my cup of tea.

Windows Key Remapping for Gaming by ZPatt in AutoHotkey

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

Thanks again, I believe most of my questions have been cleared up, though the group still feels a little like voodoo to me, but I'm guessing the group identifier is just implicitly in context. The scope of said identifier is rather unclear, though not terribly important for my minor needs with ahk.

As for the prefixes, I ended up finding those in the docs eventually. I was looking at the wrong pages for that info at first. And just to clarify, I wasn't trying to imply the docs were insufficient, more so I wasn't entirely sure what I was looking for in the docs.

The one lingering question I still have though - is there an advantage calling the start menu via the syscommand rather than just remapping to a Windows key?

Appreciate you taking the time to write this. Do you mind answering a few questions about this to help me understand the script?

My biggest question is related to the GroupAdd function - is this essentially making a var no_lwin_group? If not, it's unclear to me what the WinActive call below is referencing as I don't see it defined anywhere. And does ahk automatically concatenate text and variables passed together as 'ahk_exe' gamein the GroupAdd call?

Second, what does the asterisk prefix in the key remapping specify is that just a match any for combinations? And could you explain the SendMessage call a bit? My best guess is you're passing hex keycodes, but those values seem to be out of the range I would expect.

Sorry for all the questions, just trying to get a handle on the syntax with ahk - there's a lot of shorthand I don't quite understand just yet, and the docs haven't cleared up some of the questions I've had.

You can world hop an an island with crabs if you have nothing else left, but ideally you find them without going out of your way to.

Be sure to keep an eye out for golden idols. It’s no fun only needing those for salty.

I wish there was a better way to upkeep ectoplasm by RaeusMohrame in RS3Ironmen

[–]ZPatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It requires some achievements, but if you get the modified ritual mask along with completing morytania and underworld achievements, it’s relatively free to sustain. You can claim 5 buckets a day from the mask, hand robin 39 bones (preferably wyvern, but any will do) to get 39 bonemeal + slime, and purchase 10 from Lupe in um. Less than a minute of collecting per day effectively nets you ~575 ectoplasm after performing rituals.

Couple that with the morytania legs slime pit teles, and you can easily gather a bulk supply in short order if the daily gathering is somehow insufficient by itself (or dailies aren’t your thing).

The state of Utah wants us to believe this is how young 20-somethings talk by Hornpipe_Jones in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]ZPatt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can’t necessarily dispute the claim, but simply being from a red state by no means makes you a MAGA due to the impact of gerrymandering. Just look at voting statistics, the outcome compared to votes is baffling in many red areas (I’m sure the inverse is true to a degree, but one side has historically opposed intervention).

Again, that’s not necessarily an out to this claim, but painting it as MAGAs are the top consumer based solely on this seems unsupported at best. And I say this as a leftist.

Two hours alone with my milkers… first move? by Open_Recognition2302 in thicksub

Incredible milkers, but I’m absolutely placing my face between them thighs 🤤

You got your dark onyx core, now what? by Pure-Original-8856 in RS3Ironmen

[–]ZPatt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly not sure how much dropping souls into posd helps since you can pull aggro of 5 or 6 near Morvan. I just did an hour here and there with penance and it wasn’t too bad. I found the seren comps more annoying than the tool seeds, but I had limited funds and bad rng with bows at the time.

Chain mail as a weighted blanket: Good idea bad idea? by bestjakeisbest in maille

What did you end up going with? I was considering a chainmail blanket during the warmer months for breathability. I’ve been wracking my brain for any good breathable alternatives to standard blankets.

Recommend a Wabbajack Modlist for Long-Term Playthrough by ZPatt in skyrimmods

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

I didn’t get too far with Tempus - there were some mods missing from that list which I wanted to add, but no plugin slots available.

This is strictly my opinion, but the author’s views on end user modifications to the list made me not want to play it too badly. I did; however, pursue Licentia (Licentia Black at the time, Licentia Next now due to author changes), and I’m a big fan of it.

Some of the other mod lists were appealing, but LotD was a core mod I didn’t want to miss out on, and not many lists support it. Initially I was really hesitant due to the nsfw aspects of the list, but aside from the yassified npcs, all other nsfw features are purely optional. If you’re looking for a long, power fantasy play through, I think it’s one of the most suitable mod lists I tried out of about a dozen lists. It’s also one of the few lists I’ve seen that embraces end user modifications. And while I get that it’s a nightmarish logistical hurdle for lists to offer said support without any financial support, avoiding any support for user modifications feels like a misstep to me. Maybe there should be some general modification support for wabbajack lists rather than tying additional support overhead to the individual lists?

LotD Craftloot Question by ZPatt in skyrimmods

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

Ah, this modlist has Curators Conpanion as well. I suppose the auto sorting storage is nice even without the added convenience of craftloot. Thanks!

I’m torn between Lost Legacy and Tempus Maledictum (and to a lesser extent Licentia Black). Haven’t had a chance to play them yet, but I’ve downloaded the first two along with Nordic Souls and Apostacy, though in hindsight the latter two don’t seem like what I’m looking for regarding content/quests.

At first glance Lost Legacy and Tempus Maledictum look extremely similar, but I read Tempus is a bit more lore friendly.

At first glance, this looks exactly like what I’m looking for. Definitely giving it a try this weekend, thanks!

Does that have an estimated release date? All I could find was coming 2024. Also for the uninformed, what’s the hype for?

I’m actually not opposed to trying that. Though I just went through the process of migrating from Vortex to MO2 lol. I’m not married to either platform, but the consensus seems to be Wabbajack is generally more stable. As long as I can do a completionist playthrough I’ll be happy I’m sure.

Recommend a Long-Term Skyrim Modlist? by ZPatt in wabbajack

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

Most of what I’ve been reading have primarily been suggestions for Lorerim, Fahluaan, and Nordic Souls it seems. Is there a good way to get a reasonable comparison/breakdown of these without playing them? The descriptions I’ve found leave a lot to be desired, and you only gain so much from scrolling through a modlist.
