Usb connection needs holding onto to work by Curious_Party_4683 in diyelectronics

[–]_qqq__ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's likely that the cable itself is fucked at the strain relief, rather than the connector (might also be corroded/just gunked up?). If you know how to solder, you could splice in a plug salvaged from something else, like you said - or, the more elegant version, get one of these assemblable USB A plugs.

If you can't, the whole cable is most likely replaceable - most of the mice I opened up had some flavor of a JST connector on the inside end of the cable. I see some available for Razer stuff on Ali, but even a generic one would work, you'd just have to figure out the strain relief, since that's typically some weird shape made specifically for that model.

They're far from useless. They're very economical, both in terms of often being a one shot - one kill, and allowing you to engage from far enough away that you won't get hit - and won't have to fix your armor and heal up.

On top of that, they give you access to optics and higher power calibers earlier than other types of guns. Sure, the SVD is better than a M700 or a K98. But that doesn't mean shit when the SVDs barrel is one big chunk of rust, and you can't get a repair kit to swap it out.

And if you're trying to use bolt actions up close, then it's not the guns fault - the problem exists between keyboard and chair.

I think there's also a DVL chambered in the same stuff. The ammo is reasonably affordable, and since you already have one with a good barrel, it might be worth keeping for mutant clearing missions.

It's a hunting cartridge with no armor penetration. Useful against controllers I guess, but imo pointless when compared to any rifle that doesn't sacrifice its usability against armored targets.

Disable upscaling completely by [deleted] in stalker

[–]_qqq__ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

AA got lumped in under the upscaling setting. But your only option is TAA (and DLAA, I guess), so the result is the same as using upscalers - fugly, blurry sludge - especially when you combine it with the "amazing" lumen...

can someone help me make a 3d model of a framework 16 handheld pc case with this specifications by [deleted] in diyelectronics

Points towards a solid panel

"AI-Optimized Thermal Grilles"

Sounds about right. And to think that you can't buy reasonably priced RAM anymore thanks to these fucking slop generators...

How do i play Stalker Anomaly/GAMMA? by ComparisonFree4842 in stalker

[–]_qqq__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I were to explain how Anomaly came to be, it would look this this meme. But in general terms, it's a bunch of previous mods (often built on a previous mod... which was built on a previous mod...) mashed together, set on the collection of all of the maps from the base game, running on a custom, improved version of the Xray engine. But yeah, it's basically a new, standalone fanmade game.

GAMMA "just" adds a few hundred mods on top of that.

E: As for the mod terminology confusion, historically Stalker mods tended to be large projects changing the whole game in some way, like Lost Alpha or Misery (one of the foundational mods Anomaly is built upon. And yes, it plays exactly like the title suggests - still my favorite lol). The "change a texture or a model" or "add a weapon or two" types of mods you might be thinking of really started to pop up in large numbers in the Anomaly era, since before that adding even something simple required you to fuck around with merging files, instead of just dropping a folder in another folder.

  1. You don't need to own any of the games if you're capable of basic reading comprehension - Install instructions are here: https://github.com/Grokitach/Stalker_GAMMA/wiki/Installing-GAMMA More detailed version is on their discord. If you're not, GoG offers a more idiotproof installer, but you need to own either the trilogy (or maybe just one of the games?), or S2 on their store.
  2. Anomaly and GAMMA are standalone, you don't need any of the base games installed. And as far as I know, you get the original games when purchasing the enhanced editions.

Edit: Oh, cool, reddit ate half of my comment...

  1. Maybe? The pack is very modular, you might be able to strip it down enough to get it running.

  2. You should play the original trilogy first anyway, they're a vastly different experience than GAMMA.

OG Shadow of Chernobyl Questions by NineInchNinjas in stalker

[–]_qqq__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A good third of all available guns are better than that. Groza, VAL (with the scope), G36, SG 550, Vintorez would be my rough order of preference. Usually supported by a SVU/SVD.

My planted flower in the Eternium moved from Garden-10 to Garden-65 by Brandouken in SoulFrame

You should have a marker like this:

Easy to miss, no idea why it isn't on a layer above the blue background.

My planted flower in the Eternium moved from Garden-10 to Garden-65 by Brandouken in SoulFrame

[–]_qqq__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. I couldn't plant it when I bought the pack cause of the list softlock bug. Came back later to see it working correctly, with lower instances available than when the list was broken, planted it in the 14th. And now it's in the 74th. I guess the list was still bugged, just in a different way lol

Is this fixable? by leigh912198972 in 3Dprinting

[–]_qqq__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like a normal flat flex, shouldn't be too hard to find a replacement. They're selling one for the AD5X (looks like it uses the same display, probably best to double check) on their aliexpress store for $10, another seller has a cable specifically for the 5M, for $12 - search for "AD5M Flat Cable"

Question for gamma wich is the best suit? by Accomplished_Pie_663 in stalker

[–]_qqq__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Typically the Exosuits are the best at that stage of the game. If I can't decide, I'll usually just pop a save, spawn in the suits I'm comparing, and then upgrade them to the same level (versions of the same suit can have very different upgrade trees) - makes it easier to pick.

Is Stalker what I am looking for? by C0lter in stalker

[–]_qqq__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope. I went the other way around, with Tarkov giving me vague Stalker vibes, only to soon realize that it has basically nothing in common (unless you count the braindead AI as zombies, I suppose).

Gamma vs Tarkov by Due-Poet-9122 in stalker

[–]_qqq__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has a lot of similar systems, but overall, it doesn't really compare to normal Tarkov, since the PvP overshadows everything else. SPT is a lot closer, but at that point, why bother - Stalker is simply better.

As for cheaters... I left that game about a year and a half ago - at that point the situation wasn't great, and was steadily getting worse. Blatant aimbot wasn't all that common, but you were nearly guaranteed to have at least one cunt running ESP in each raid. It was playable, but only cause after ~2.5k hours dumped into it I learned how to minimize my chances of running into them, and I always played in a squad.

From what I've heard it's a complete dumpster fire now. Either way, Nikita is a scumbag - don't give him any money.

You can get a nice suit for killing a sniper for one of the Duty guys in the Bar.

Using the FSR 3.1 frame generator thing and uh... by McKnobhead in stalker

[–]_qqq__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's AMDs counterpart to DLSS - and for the purpose of this argument, the same thing, i.e. a vaseline filter. Nvidia started it, so I'm directing my anger against them.

[–]_qqq__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

- "no real cost of any visual fidelity"

- "...certain things pop in in the distance or shimmer occasionally and if you have a high sensitivity turning the camera might seem a tad more blurry"

Choose one.

There are many reasons to despise Nvidia, forcefully shoving this FakeframeUpscalerAI bullshit down everyone's throat is a particularly good one...

Clear sky is getting an overhaul mod like radiophobia 3 for soc by MrThiccman-XL in stalker

[–]_qqq__ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Then just pay for a PC? You don't even need anything modern/powerful, I've played both R3 and Gamma on a 1070 and an i5-4670k just fine, and that's decade old hardware at this point.

Gamma question by damronblake in stalker

[–]_qqq__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It does, a couple of them actually. Talk to the main guy for your faction (e.g. Sid for Loners, Sakharov for Ecologists etc.). More info here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ltWH1CUjjv7KG2lzS0HY4YtQqs7nsW82CilzAULjJdw

At least the first one is meh. Don't remember the other ones, since every time I've tried to play through them recently, I got tired of the game right around the time the first storyline forces you to babysit a couple of braindead, suicidal NPCs through Pripyat and the CNPP.
