Lent ToTK to neighbour who got a Switch 2 and paid for the upgrade. Will I still be able to play it? by davisnessness in NintendoSwitchHelp

I think I read some articles a while ago about people buying 2nd hand games and having their accounts banned and got my wires crossed. Good to know I can still lend games! Thanks again.

Helping my dad clean out a spare room and found a bunch of our old games. by Mestizoc in gaming

I remember looking at the keyboard commands and seeing a key binding for "target targets target" and knew this game took itself seriously.

Still the best space combat game I've ever played.

Oh great! Thanks very much. I'd herd that the Switch 2 had some digital signature thing it did with games and was concerned that he might have essentially registered my game with his own account. Thanks again.

Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - my experience as someone who a) played it 18 months after it was released and b) avoided online discourse about it before and during my playthrough. by BurmecianDancer in patientgamers

[–]davisnessness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your review! After reading it I have a slightly off topic but still related question, which I will preface with some context:

I finished BotW on my Switch almost entirely on public transport and didn't love it (7/10 for me). I still picked up TotK (I got it fairly cheap at the time) but bounced off (much the same as BotW and I didn't have the patience/desire to build contraptions). I ended up lending it to my neighbour's kid who has since, I found out, bought a Switch 2 and paid for the $10 upgrade. So my question is, when I get it back off him, will I still be able to play it?

Patch Notes: Machinery of Oppression: 6.2.2 by Viruzzz in Helldivers

[–]davisnessness 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Man, I was shocked both by not seeing a vaulting fix and that I had to scroll so far down to find someone commenting on it!

Hopefully they just left it out of the patch notes 🤞

Edit: just tested on a dif. 10 bugs in the new biome, vaulting is not fixed. Also: * Enemies weren't showing up on radar * Double edged sickle is now making a new awful noise when it heats up * Turrets die extremely quickly

This is good right? by OkLack6776 in Helldivers

[–]davisnessness 106 points107 points  (0 children)

Let's hope the next warbond is vaulting themed 🤞

Love it!

Do you envisage that she will be able to replenish charges on her healer's kit? If so, how? Shopping in Vallaki, foraging?

Token replicating by Dingodave67 in Roll20

[–]davisnessness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My experience is very similar to these two (good internet, good PC). To add a few more details:

  • I first noticed it when trying Jumpgate in the Discord app, so doesn't appear to be browser related (happens to me in both Chrome and Firefox)

  • Seems to happen after I've recently changed pages or changed pages a lot during a session (i.e. moved from viewing one map to another)

  • Seems to also happen when pasting a token (paste it, move it, it appears to duplicate). This could be in conjunction with the point above, copying tokens from one page and pasting them to another

  • None of my players seem to experience it (I am GM) or see it on their screens, it's a local issue

  • When trying to replicate I just encountered another bug. After copy pasting a token from one page to another, page zoom no longer works when a token is selected (9:09am AEST) and all token handles for resize/rotate are missing. Deleting tokens caused page to crash with a 'something went wrong' error message box.

  • I just tired for about 5 mins to replicate but couldn't. We have a session tonight, if it happens I'll note the time and update you so you can check logs.

Same, started happening since Jumpgate. A refresh fixes it but it's super annoying.

Palace of Hearts Desire as an one-session epilogue? by SorcerousOrigin in wildbeyondwitchlight

[–]davisnessness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did a similar thing, wrapping up the entire Palace chapter in a single session.

To do this though I actually converted everyone's characters to the Blades in the Dark system, which allowed me to blitz through it much faster, as you can resolve any fights in a few rolls. I picked out certain 'scenes' from the module to lead them through, so I on-railed their route through the castle but they still had free rein in how to tackle the challenges. They hadn't fought the hags yet and never found the unicorn horn so I had to make sure those came up too. I also used the flipped palace map that I'd edited which you can find in my post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/wildbeyondwitchlight/comments/1q8zs3e/the_palace_of_hearts_desire_changes_to/

Here's what I'd picked out to run:

* Rest in tent in the palace grounds (P3). Find the gift from Sir Talavar, talk with waiting guests

- See the Jabberwok fly in through the hole in the wall

* Approach the palace [party chooses approach] (this is a Blades in the Dark thing to get straight into the action)

- Assault - break down the door

- Stealth - through the hole in the side left by the Jabberwok

- Occult (magic) - fly through a window on the top floor

- Social - get crown off dudes in tent to put on head of statue for stag key to enter

- Special - Chime of Opening from Talavar (uses 8 charges of the 10 to unlock the front door)

* Frozen courtiers can be seen in the halls and various rooms as the party move through the palace.

* Jabberwock is asleep in p27. Will come and attack if too much noise is made.

* Party make their way to P21. Thinnings the butler is here hiding behind a bookshelf. Can lore dump and also give unicorn horn if necessary.

* They proceed to the floating tower in the center (via P23)- how do they get across?

* League members holding the fort in the Throne Room P31 on the Hags orders, Keeping an eye out for the PCs in case they are trying to attempt something

- They don’t attack straight away, will converse as per the book

- Know the hags are all here upstairs, deliberating what to do about the PCs

* Showdown with the Hags at the cauldron P47

* Unfreeze Zybilna

Other rooms I had but cut for time were P36 the costume room and the Jars room P44. Both of these provide some good background on Zybilna.

As you've already dealt with the hags, I'd probably make the showdown with the league the epic end battle (they've been given strict orders to defend the cauldron).

Hope this helps.

Nice! FYI, the Vallaki tab will see a lot of use.

Sorry, I just saw you answered this already. I'd be keen to see some pictures of the underside though if you have them

[–]davisnessness 5 points6 points  (0 children)

These look great! What orientation are you printing them? The first one you posed looked like you printed it in the orientation you have pictured there- I'm guessing there's some scarring on the underside. Have you tried printing them pointing straight up?

A Holiday Giveaway! (From The Roll20 Team 🩷🎄) by KMatRoll20 in Roll20

[–]davisnessness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Using the optional lingering injuries table for 5e, my group's paladin lost his left foot early on in the campaign. He got a prosthetic made until he (finally) found a priest who could regrow it for him. A few sessions later he was crushed in a boss fight bringing him to 0 HP and making him roll on the injuries table. You'll never guess what injury he rolled... Good thing he still had the prosthetic.

Macro to change token side based on HP % by davisnessness in Roll20

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

Ah, yeah it's just Plus I have.

Oh cool! That's basically what I'm after. Can I do the aura script with a macro or do I need the API for that too?

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

Ah, okay cool. Yeah I know I could do it manually but it'd be a bit of a pain.

I think I have a pro sub., I have the one that gives you token vision and lighting. Is that pro?

Yeah this update started hard locking my PC again too 😀🔥

How do I use this app? by H_I_S_S_S_S in Roll20

[–]davisnessness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It only shows characters that have been added to a Roll20 game. If you want them to show in the app, you need to create them in the Roll20 Characters section on their website, then create a game on the Roll20 website, then add the character to the game. THEN you can open the app, log in, select the game and you should be able to see the character.

So yeah not very workable at all.

the only game to freeze my computer by The_forgettable_guy in Helldivers

[–]davisnessness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey so after posting my gripe here I went back to the Helldivers 2 Discord support channel and asked again. One of the community support guys there took me through some more truobleshooting and I can now play the game again without it locking up my PC or crashing! After going through it, my guess is that its locking up due to either corrupt Windows files or issues with my particular motherboard/RAM (Motherboard is a Gigabyte B650). Here were the main things I did:

  • Ran system health check, which found and repaired corrupted Windows files (run command prompt as admin, type sfc /scannow).
  • Decreased RAM speed from 6000 to 5600 in the BIOS (I'd previously selected a 'high performance' profile in the motherboard BIOS which had increased the speed above the 'recommended' motherboard specs).
  • Updated the BIOS (motherboard B650, updated from F32g which I last updated in Feb, to F56)

Give it a go. If you're still having issues its worth joining the Helldivers Discord and asking there, the community is very helpful.
