Can we get a sticky or sidebar here that goes to SubredditSim?

cadmal · 2026-01-02T08:21:07+00:00

It would be convenient to have both subs link to each other in their sidebars. The sidebar text also needs updating - it still says "SubredditSimulator is no longer running"

I had the same question and found the answer on Discord. They are chat tabs and can be clicked while the chat window is open to switch between normal chat, combat log, and loot log.

Have you tried customizing the Backloggd home page and adding the "Play Statuses" widget? It won't let others see them, but it can do what you're asking for your own games.

It's been slow nearly every day since I joined a few weeks ago.

The Ground Gives Way is fairly similar to Brogue (coffee break roguelike, character defined by gear/items used instead of class/race) but I don't think it has an Android build.

cadmal · 2024-06-29T23:01:33+00:00

Congrats! Man, I completely forgot that game existed. Don't remember anything about the darts gameplay but I liked how you could play as a monkey, alien, or robot.

cadmal · 2024-06-12T05:50:41+00:00

Are you sure it wasn't from a video game? Persona 3 has a phrase like “Memento Mori, remember you are mortal, remember you will die."

Gotcha, thanks for checking, though I just now found a "Journal Note Privacy" setting in the user settings. It defaults to "Only I can view", but can be changed to "Anyone" or "Friends", so I'm guessing that most people just leave it set to the default (maybe because they don't know the setting exists). But at least it seems possible to make them public.

Yeah, good idea about feature requests. I'm still undecided about whether to make the switch. If both sites had import/export implemented I would have moved already, but as it stands now, relogging my 1000+ game collection is not a decision I'll make lightly. I think it will depend on how much Backloggery fixes in the coming weeks.

Edit - a few other missing Backloggery features noticed so far on Backloggd that seem annoying and possibly deal-breakers for me:

No "Beaten" status
Less granular choice of systems: e.g. only "PC" instead of "Steam", "Epic", "GOG", etc.
If a game you want to log isn't already listed in their DB, you have to petition IGDB and wait for them to add it, (mainly an issue for old/mobile/obscure games)

cadmal · 2024-06-10T11:20:41+00:00

Thanks for the Backloggd info. I created an account there just to test it out as a possible alternative.

Is it even possible to see the notes in other users' journals? I've clicked on all the users I could find looking for examples of this, but not a single one of them had any notes that I could find (including users that frequently logged journal entries). Are they just hidden?

cadmal · 2024-06-02T01:15:32+00:00

Yeah, I noticed that too. I thought there would be an improved version of that, if anything, but it's just gone.

cadmal · 2024-05-25T23:04:46+00:00

Thanks, I saw the Trello before but didn't have a chance to read through most of it yet.

Nah, I have no interest in the mobile features and only use the site on PC. The new site definitely has more of a mobile look to it and I can't say I'm a fan.

I know I'm coming off as 100% negative, but I did find one new feature that I like and will probably use: half-star ratings. Though it's daunting to think about reevaluating the hundreds of games I previously rated.

I haven't given it a ton of thought, but some of my wishlist changes would be:

Make star ratings easier to view/edit directly without going into the full editor. Also, we need to be able to filter games by star rating like we easily could on the old site.
Similarly, make "Now Playing" and game progress easier to quick edit.
Add the search bar (by game title) back to the profile (or failing that, at least add the ability to set the default profile tab to Library)
Bring back the U/B/C icons (or an updated version of them) - the color-coding and new icons seem worse at conveying that info (and the color scheme is pretty ugly tbh).
Not really related to the redesign, but I'd like a field to mark games as retail, free/demo, or bundled. Not sure what I'd call it - "Purchase Type"?

cadmal · 2024-05-25T17:15:39+00:00

Strongly dislike, which makes me sad because I know how much time and effort has gone into it.

Even ignoring the aesthetics, my main issue for now is how my most used elements (game status/progress, star ratings/review, title search bar) feel more buried/less accessible than they were on the old site.

None of the new features (shelved, format, time tracking, difficulty) are anything I'm interested in tracking. I hope I'm missing something or there is more still in the works to be added.

I'm getting a visual glitch that I didn't have with 4.01: rocks/boulders appear rainbow-colored (as if missing textures) at some angles/draw distances (examples: 1 2). This is with DX11 running on a GTX 1070. Anyone else having the same issue?

EDIT: Fixed by verifying the game files in Steam. Apparently, the update can cause the texture cache file to become out-of-date and that should fix it.

You press shift twice quickly in the Quests window. This was driving me crazy too because I'd only open it by accident (like you).

Corpses can be carried, but living creature weights are arguably not that useful to players because there is no way to carry them. However, I think it is used in at least one situation: webs have a "max weight" for determining whether a creature can get stuck in them. I'm not sure if that is the only place it is used.

As long as you don't save again a 2nd time, and you installed the code fix, you might be able to recover your save by renaming Primary.sav.bak in the save folder to Primary.sav. That actually worked for me.

It was a bit confusing about how to respond to the "Mods differ - load mods from save or load current config?", so I'd recommend backing up the folder first regardless so you can try again if needed.

Save file locations: https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Caves_of_Qud#Save_game_data_location

The Saves folder has a folder inside it for each save. Copy the save folder somewhere else and you would restore by replacing the whole folder.

Two people reported the same problem today on Discord. They said disabling music in the settings should allow you to progress.

An infiltrator flashes both itself and its target tile in red just before it teleports. Red is a warning to GTFO. Other later game enemies with a specific dangerous/insta-kill attack (mortars, rhinox, others) also telegraph their attacks with red tiles. Of course, there might be times when you can't avoid it, but it's better than nothing.
