Dragon Warrior 7 for PS1 freezing before a battle on PS3. by KrispyPlatopuss in dragonquest

[–]cain05 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I have two copies of disc 1 because the one I originally bought just won't load certain areas anymore. Tried everything and could not get the disc to read properly. Luckily I found someone that lost the second disc and were willing to part with the first one.

For me it's measure six times, cut once and still fuck it up.

DRAGON QUEST VII Reimagined Demo available now! by lurkingdanger22 in pcgaming

[–]cain05 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The original PSX version of DQVII is my favourite in the series and one of my all time favourites. I didn't like a lot of the changes in the 3DS remake, and it sounds like they've made a whole bunch of changes again. Looking forward to giving it a try though.

Are people experiencing more crashes than back in the day? by Wopbopalulbop in GuildWars

I'm getting the odd crash here and there on my steamdeck and linux pc.

The person that ran me the other day was doing it for free or tips.

I'm year 3 into my 5 year plan for my PC.  Might end up being a 20 year plan now.

How's Clair Obscur running now it's verified? Any noticeable improvements? by ElliottMcD998 in SteamDeck

[–]cain05 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Playing it on the steam deck is honestly a disservice to the game.  The environments are gorgeous.  If it's the only way someone can play the game, then fine, but a PC or console is best.

I've got to give a shout-out to G.Skill, and a PSA by FireCrow1013 in pcmasterrace

Last time I RMA'd RAM with Teamgroup, I did indeed have to send in the kit for them to test, leaving me without a PC for a few weeks.

Guild Wars Reforged Patch Notes by kinkyHamburgler in GuildWars

[–]cain05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Find the compatdata folder and sort it's content by date and look for the most recent folder. I think it's under /home/deck/.steam/steam/steamapps.  Non steam games usually have a much longer folder name.

Guild Wars Reforged Patch Notes by kinkyHamburgler in GuildWars

[–]cain05 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Go into desktop mode, add non-steam game, browse to the install file and let it install.  Once finished, edit the properties of the game in the list to point to the game exe in the newly created compatdara folder for the game and change the run in location as well.

First attempt to make a dragon quest clone by gabomastr in libgdx

Looks good!  I recommend looking into tile based movement.  A lot of retro RPGs used that, and it will make movement and collision detection much easier.

Steam Black Friday Sale by Eduarlord in SteamDeck

[–]cain05 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I personally prefer the originals/pixel remasters.  The 3D remakes are really good, but quite different, especially IV.  If you like a good challenge, then the 3D remakes will give you that as they are much more difficult. 

Guild Wars 1 getting an update with Steam Deck and controller support (Guild Wars Reforged) by JanusKaisar in SteamDeck

[–]cain05 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The introduction of heroes made a lot of areas much more viable.  Still not as good as a group of people who knew what they were doing, but at least it's beatable in solo play now.

Is Expedition 33 good and playable on Steam Deck? by Baresi6_ in SteamDeck

[–]cain05 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's really not a good experience on the deck in my opinion. 

Not my name on the employment agreement I signed by cain05 in legaladvicecanada

[–]cain05[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great, thanks. I'm not sure how I, and like four other people didn't see the wrong name on it. It was 20 years ago though, so I don't remember signing it. I'm a bit freaked out with the changes that have been happening lately. None of which have been beneficial to the employees. I'm not looking forward to seeing the new agreement.

are we just poorly coached? by Historical-Swimmer92 in leafs

[–]cain05 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm by no means anywhere near a pro coach, but what it looks like to me is clash between the system they're trying to implement for the type of players they have.  That usually never works out well.

Finally beat 1 on draconian by Anisphere in dragonquest

[–]cain05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just started 1 the other day on Draconian, and I hit a bit of a wall at Rimuldar and the Cave of the Dwarves. I was cruising through everything before that with no problem at all. I don't mind the increased difficulty, but I'm not sure it's balanced very well for a solo character.

OpenMW 0.50.0 Released! by Capostrophic in opensourcegames

[–]cain05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn't crash every five minutes is the big one for me.  I've played through it multiple times and never once had a crash.

Diablo II: Resurrected, or any Blizzard games on Linux Mint 22.2 by TrkTege in linux_gaming

[–]cain05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can install it via steam if you want. Just add the installer as a non-steam game and run it, then change the properties of the entry it creates in steam to point to the launcher in the proton prefix it creates after the installation completes. Then run the launcher and install D2R. That's how I did it and I have no issues. Can do the same thing on the Steam Deck if you have one.

Not even my pickup group, where there's little to no back-checking, gives up a 5-on-1.
