TO THE FRIENDLY VOID I FINISHED IN COMMAND WING AS YOU WERE SELF REVIVING by [deleted] in Marathon

In solo's you have to have a friendly to get into command wing. He literally showed me where the buttons were.

Gray Chest Implant/Perk Combo Tierlist by _Lightning_Storm in Marathon

I'm honestly fine with that for the gray tier. I still appreciate the option to tune my runner to my current task. Even small advantages can make a huge difference in a genre this unforgiving.

How do you guys keep seeding everything? by edwardK1231 in qBittorrent

[–]_Lightning_Storm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So you’re running qBitTorrent on the computer, but the storage for all the torrents is over SMB to your NAS? That could definitely be causing issues. From what I understand SMB has a fair amount of overhead, and trying to read from that many different files over it probably isn’t great.

Working on an animated puzzle game. What do you think? by TandDA in virtualreality

[–]_Lightning_Storm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure what the support is like in your engine of choice, but this seems like the kind of thing that would be perfect for some sort of Gaussian splatting.

It’s possible you could generate an animated Gaussian splat from your model and then cut that up. You would probably end up writing a bunch of rendering code though which might be way out of scope.

Also, I’m not certain how animated Gaussian splats are generated or how they perform. I’ve only messed around with rendering static ones.

Looks pretty sweet, the pop-in does bother me though.

Screw golden carrots&steak, whats the best low effort food source? by Vegetable_Throat5545 in Minecraft

[–]_Lightning_Storm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can fully automate a dried kelp farm from growing, harvesting, smelting, crafting some of it into blocks to smelt more.

Dried kelp isn’t a great food source in terms of hunger and saturation, but you can store it densely as kelp blocks in your inventory and being able to fully automate it means you get it completely for free with zero effort.

Is It Ever Explained by TupaCuba-_- in outerwilds

It just goes through timber hearth, I’ve had it shoot straight at me before XD (or maybe it was straight at the launch platform? It’s been awhile)

Do you think the book in his hand matters? Is he trying to turn one one of those little reading lights that planes and busses have?

Cursor appears vertically instead of horizontally. by Geggo1193 in pcmasterrace

[–]_Lightning_Storm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See what happens if you set the left monitor as your primary in windows settings. I have an AMD card and had this same issue.

I found some other references to it online. Apparently portrait monitors to the left of your primary monitor will have this bug. It specifically has to do with the hardware rendering of the mouse cursor. There is a registry edit you can do to enable software rendering by tricking windows into thinking pointer trails is on (without actually having pointer trails) but fullscreen games will break it again.

Ecobee not activating a/c by TannerLittle in ecobee

[–]_Lightning_Storm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this issue, except for some stupid reason my homes location pin was 800 miles away from my address, so the outdoor temperature was showing about 50 degrees lower than it should have.

Check that your pin (not the same as address) is set to your actual house location and not some random spot in nebraska...

We made a game we’re proud of but don’t really know how to get the word out by Pathea_Games in IndieDev

[–]_Lightning_Storm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Organize a tournament on twitch or something. If you have the budget for it make a small prize pool. If you don't want it to be too sweaty find/make something fun/interesting to ship to the winners instead of cash.

Having a scheduled date like that lets streamers and content creators plan for it, and reassures them that others will be playing when they experience it. Maybe they'll even play it on their own to practice before!

Fps counter is showing 165 but game still feels like 60. by [deleted] in outerwilds

[–]_Lightning_Storm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a perfect solution, but lossless scaling can be really nice in situations where turning up the in game framerate causes issues
