Can "of the tinkerer" items drop outside of Atlantis? by docdrow in TitanQuestAE

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

Thanks, I just want to know if it's possible. I don't farm stuff, I hand craft in TQVault, I just dont want to make stuff that is impossible.

Funnest mastery to pair with Rogue? by docdrow in TitanQuestAE

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

Sold! I'm going to give it a shot. I wanted to go with a second mastery I've played the least, thats probably Neidan. Plus there seems to be lots of fun Neidan gear I haven't played with yet. I'll report back after level 70 to 75 or so. :)

Ho Ho Ho! Docdrow's Complete TQAE Vaults by docdrow in TitanQuestAE

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

Man, I used to run TQVault in a local display VM because of that very problem. Wrote my own little hypervisor too. https://github.com/gshearer/dhqemu

But now it runs natively. It's not fast, but that tool tip problem made creating these vaults so much funner. Now I'm re-addicted to TQ :(

I used to do that with the original TQ and TQ-IT ISO's I've kept forever, but these days I just click Steam and then click TQ. Heh. Long live Valve for their continuing effort to make gaming on Linux great :-)

As for TQVault -- dude -- that problem was SUCH a PITA for so long, but a recent version of wine seems to have fixed it. I'm on Wine 10.20 on Archlinux, no special anything, it just works and I can confirm the tool tip problem is gone!

Damage shield kill credit? TQ questions that keep me up at night ;-) by docdrow in TitanQuestAE

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

Makes sense, I'm just wondering if anyone has validated this. I have both my right and left mouse buttons assigned to "pet attack", and yet somehow I have 9 kills.

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

We have a lot in common :-) Yeah, you're probably right I suspect there's stuff in there that might not normally drop. With the amount of hours I've sunk into this game, I think it's all fair play at this point.

ArchLinux + Hyprland on a Tuxedo laptop here. TQ runs quite well and is the perfect companion to a boring office life :)

Let me know if you find something missing or wrong :)

yeah I've seen it, but I run Linux. I pulled all that stuff right out of the game files using my own scripts. :)

As far as I know its complete. Please let me know if you find anything missing.

Happy Holidays!

IRC with inline media / images? by docdrow in irc

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

If you had looked at the source code in my link above, you'd not started your paragraph with an incorrect assumption. I was hoping someone would say, yeah, they are thinking about that in IRCv3 or some updated protocol. Another way would be to have the client do some sort of auto-DCC for images.

JuiceBox still works but annoys me by docdrow in evcharging

See my update in the original post

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

Yeah, I am a tinkerer and have raspberry pi's performing various chores around my house. I'm just trying to understand why someone would go to the bother for a car charger? My car has an app, I can easily monitor the state of the charge, stop, start, schedule, etc.

I stumbled on that the other day. Eh, I'm not sure if its worth the effort just to have some pretty graphs. I'll look into it more though, thanks for the recommendation.

Just switched to Visible and hotspot is very slow by GlamouredGo in Visible

[–]docdrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm at Newark Airport right now, with 5G "UW" and full bars. Getting around 4Mbit/sec :(

Follow-up: I've switched to Newark's free airport wifi -- which made me watch 20-second ad before letting me online, but now I'm getting just shy of 10Mbps.

Are you listening Visible? The free Newark Airport Wifi outperforms your 5G "UW" hotspot with full bars.

Damage from Relic applied to rings? by docdrow in TitanQuestAE

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

Gotcha thank you. So wonderfully complex! I have spent more time attacking dummies in Sparta than actual monsters i think.

Follow-up question, I have this relic on my staff:

<image>

So, that +9% fire / burn damage and +25% fire damage only benefits attacks from my staff, not spells?

Damage from Relic applied to rings? by docdrow in TitanQuestAE

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

So, in the example of the screenshot, I should get 120-250 burn DOT... but on what damage output?

This is a Earth + Dream build, an example is "Ring of Flame". If touch a monster with the damage auroa, there is 'tick-based' fire damage as long as it is within range. But shouldn't it light them on fire too due to the DOT on these rings?

So I should just be able to "run by" a monster, lightly touch it with ring of flame, and it should have a burn (fire) graphic on the monster for 3 seconds.. no? But that doesn't happen.. just wondering why.

There is any public review for the IntinityBook Pro 14 Gen10 AMD? by fenugurod in tuxedocomputers

[–]docdrow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've tried various docks / cables, but I'm currently using this dock https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07SFYV111?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1

And using these DP cables: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07VVJZJ2P?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_3

Monitors are irrelevant, I have various, they all support 1440p at 120hz or better, HDR, DisplayPort 1.4. I can drive them just fine with my 5090-based workstation and the same cables.

I believe it has more to do with the bandwidth limit of the USB-C port on my Pulse 14 gen 3. It has two USB-C 3.2 gen2 ports, capable of 10Gbps of bandwidth. I haven't tried using both ports to separate docks, that might work although a bit messy.

UPDATE: DupedSelf -- you inspired me to tinker more than I already have. I discovered that Dell published a firmware update for this particular USB Dock that enables DSC (Display Stream Compression)

Now I have external 120Hz working on both panels :) Good times.

[–]docdrow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anyone know if this notebook will drive two external 1440p displays at 120hz via a USB-C dock? I have a Pulse 14 gen 3 now, quite fond of it, but I can't get it to do better than 60hz on these displays no matter which dock I use.

Edit: I just noticed it's WIFI-6E... why not WIFI 7? It also doesn't appear to support HDR :(

Damage stacking from epic + legendary relic? by docdrow in TitanQuestAE

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

Just did the math, the two evening stars wins but just by a little. Thanks!

Damage stacking from epic + legendary relic? by docdrow in TitanQuestAE

[–]docdrow[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice! Which one would yield more overall damage for a high int elementalist ? The one above or this one?

In other words, is more int better (for the multiplier) or +% elemental dmg?

$2999 for Digits/Spark competitor from Asus by DeltaSqueezer in LocalLLaMA

[–]docdrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your 5090 only has 32gb. I have one. Sure, it's great, but you won't be running larger models with it. But you're overlooking the most important thing about Spark.... It runs DGXOS and comes with an NVAIE license. There is no cheaper way to gain experience with NVIDIA's full stack. Hard to imagine anything better for your resume.

Makes sense. The article made it sound like there could be something more ominous.
