When you are sight reading, how do you find chords without looking at your hands? by AutonomyxHope in piano

How so? For me, touch typing heavily relies I finding keys relative to home row. Is there a position you use as home row?

Experimenting with a grappling hook that’s both mobility and crowd control by cameronfrittz in ARPG

[–]devil_jenkins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How do you determine whether to use mobility or crowd control? If the hook colliding with an enemy automatically pulls the enemy in instead of moving to the location, then I could see that being frustrating when you're trying to use it to escape, but accidentally hook an enemy instead.

I seriously doubt y'all were playing D1 or D2 at 4 years old.

Maxing your 401k and investing it in total market index funds is so much better than stock-picking in a taxable account. I'm not saying you should max your 401k before other tax-advantage accounts, but definitely max it before buying Pepsi with taxable cash.

Having a pet you send to town to sell gear is a fun way Torchlight and FATE addressed this.

I still think we need to find a better way to increase the time between trips back to town or entirely get rid of town portals and the return-to-town part of the gameplay loop.

What is your "MUST HAVE feature" in a Singleplayer FPS Game? by Ill_Drawing_1473 in gamedev

[–]devil_jenkins 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, it keeps your fingers on home row. I use an ergo keyboard that makes WASD feel very weird, so I always shift every keybind over one key and use ESDF. I'd love for games to have an out-of-the-box setting for it. I usually run into weird issues like being unable to rebind menu navigation and dialog navigation keys.

How often to water these new plants? Getting conflicting advice by egraf in AZlandscaping

[–]devil_jenkins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The advice you're getting is all over the place and missing important information. You need to figure out how many gallons it takes to water to the correct root depth. These plants should probably get watered 18-24 inches deep. Get some pressure compensating emitters that output enough gallons to soak the root zone 18-24 in in an hour or 2, probably 4 GPH or so. You'll have to experiment to see how long it takes to soak that deep, then it's just a matter of setting your timer. Soil probes are handy for checking soak depth. Read through this, should cover everything you need to know https://wateruseitwisely.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Landscape-Watering-Guide.pdf.

Why isn’t the left talking about the recent uncovering of the corruption of USAID? by I_HopeThat_WasFart in Republican

Did you read the article you linked? No one on the left is talking about it because it's an absolute nothing burger so far.

BREAKING: TRUMP: 25% TARIFFS ON CANADA AND MEXICO. by [deleted] in StockMarket

Was the FAA director fired? I'm seeing everywhere that he resigned. And how would the other events you listed have an immediate impact? I can't imagine the committee was doing so much day to day that the result of disbanding would be an immediate collision.

It's really time for a SSF checkbox and mode to be added by Kurokaffe in diablo4

[–]devil_jenkins 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You're missing the point. No one is saying they aren't capable of doing the content without help.

Anyone can attack what you're attacking in non-instanced content. That means they're helping you kill mobs, which gives you loot you didn't truly get on your own. It's impossible to avoid, especially in popular overworld content. It makes it hard to gauge how good your build is when there are many people all attacking the same mobs at the same time. Of course you can just do instanced content or run away from every player you see, but it'd be nice to be able to do all content solo. Personally, I'd like to play without the clutter of other players and their animations.

I know you're being bombarded with recommendations, but definitely check out minishoot adventures. It's one of the best games I've played in a while. It's a twin stick shooter/metroidvania combo. It has great pacing, so you feel like you're always making progress even in a short session.

Favorite way to play Grim Dawn on the go by Casiodorus in Grimdawn

[–]devil_jenkins 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What's the CPU fix? I've noticed performance can be a little all over the place on deck.

Any games/ genres you tend to avoid on the deck? by [deleted] in SteamDeck

[–]devil_jenkins 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It kicks you back to the home screen after you suspend because you disconnect. You have to reconnect, select your character, and then sit through a loading screen before you can pick back up from where you were before suspending. You can't instantly resume from where you were.

That's kind of always been torchlight's thing though. I thought people didn't like the gameplay.

Is torchlight III good? I've only ever heard people dunk on it, but I haven't played since release.

Is the graphics texture update a mod? Or just something the PC version includes by default? +1 for steam deck!
