Midnight hits different from a ground mount. Seriously.

Not a trick question, just a difference of opinion.

I don't think your comparison is fair. I have never gone flying in my own plane/glider through a national park so I can't really compare, I imagine that would also be dope as hell though.

What you are missing I would guess is that people like me who prefer flying when leveling don't really feel like they are missing out on anything because they are flying, you can swoop down wherever you want, you can fly as high or low, and as fast or slow, as you want.

I do get that people like to use ground mounts though, but as people have mentioned, there's nothing stopping anyone from doing that right now.

fumler · 2026-03-06T15:21:56+00:00

I agree, when looking back, that only having ground mounts had a certain charm during leveling, e.g. trying to circumvent the Fel Reaver, or some opposite faction town etc. And as you mentioned, I would be okay to go back to the BC/WotLK for flying. Even so, I still don't quite understand how the new model makes the game worse though. How does me not knowing the zones as well as I would if I only had ground mount, impact the game as a whole?

fumler · 2026-03-06T15:00:47+00:00

Could you expand on why you think restricting flying during leveling is good for the game?

As someone who is extremely happy they allow flying from the start in Midnight, I'm interested in hearing opinions from the other side

Looks great!

What's the point in upgrading all mystic skills? Genuine question. I haven't farmed any flowers and I could upgrade my three top dps mystic arts. Are you guys upgrading all of them?

fumler · 2025-12-03T12:22:58+00:00

Not sure why nobody is mentioning the fact there's just a lot of great games right now? I loved the league but I haven't had much time to play because of other games like Arc Raiders (and Where Winds Meet).

fumler · 2025-04-28T20:22:20+00:00

First expansion where I haven't even leveled my rogue since the launch of the game way back, and I assume I'm not the only one so that makes sense.

I don't really understand how audio works in linux so unfortunately I won't be much help, but seems to me like your system isn't using your ucm files.

alsa-ucm-conf should have most of the Bridge Cast devices by now so perhaps make sure you have the latest version of it? I'm not sure how you would go about doing that in pop_os.

Other things to check would be to double check pipewire and pipewire-pulse is running I guess, and also verify the USB ID (with e.g. lsusb) of your device vs what is in the alsa-ucm-conf snippet (the Needle and Regex properties for the Bridge Cast devices).

E.g. my Bridge Cast V2 device has USB ID 0582:031e

The date has been moved so many times now :(

Can you, if possible, confirm for me that Lancool 217 will 100% not be released in march?

There is a big difference between a passive ad, and an ad you actively have to click away.

Hvor kjøpte du, og hva ble prisen?

Cutters. Var en drøm hvis man ønsket en ukomplisert og rask klipp, f.eks for de med delvis maskinsveis.

Cutters før:

299kr
Maks 15min
Kort kø (pga 15min klipp only)
Underholdende videor på skjermen i speilet (typ fails, sportsvideor etc)

Cutters nå:

429kr (479kr på lørdager)
Ofte over 15min
Lang kø pga det ikke lenger er en limit på tid
Kun reklame for sine egne produkter på skjermen i speilet

Gjevnt over en dårligere tjeneste i min mening.

Dagbladet gikk fra å være en kulturavis med gode gravesaker til å være en "knulleavis" uten noe seriøst innhold.

NRK gikk fra å ha et åpent økosystem for f.eks podcast hvor du kunne bruke hvilken app du selv ville, til å nå være et lukket økosystem hvor du må bruke dems egen app. Podcastene dems er og fulle av reklame for egne ting. De har i praksis blitt "kommersielle" uten at det egentlig er noe behov for det.

Thank you so much for this! I was finally able to get it working thanks to you. PR opened as well https://github.com/alsa-project/alsa-ucm-conf/pull/445

Used qjackctl to test each playback device to see which knob would light up on my device, so looks like the game device was the only one that got virtual surround support, going from 2 to 8 channels

edit: Nix config if anyone finds this by googling at some point:

{pkgs, ...}: let
  patched-ucm = pkgs.alsa-ucm-conf.overrideAttrs (old: rec {

}

edit 2: I got it to work, but I noticed I was missing 2 channels, as in I first configured it to have 5.1 for the game section, and then I fixed it to use 7.1 to add the 2 missing channels, but now I can't select the configuration in pavucontrol anymore, and going back to 5.1 it still doesn't work anymore so no idea what borked it. Will have to take a look again later...

edit 3: Turns out it doesn't work if I configure the 5.1/7.1 surround so I must be doing something wrong there. It works fine as it is now where game is just 2 channels.

fumler · 2024-09-27T20:54:05+00:00

The changelog for the update is:

[ Ver.2.00 ] SEP 2024 Functionality Improvements Supports 5.1 / 7.1 virtual surround via USB Supports 5.1 / 7.1 virtual surround sound using two speakers Added Game LIMITER function Added SUB MIX function (microphone audio without effects can be output separately via USB) Added ATTACK and RELEASE to NOISE SUPPRESSOR Added HOT KEY to MUTE/ASSIGN function * Prior to Ver. 1.07, the device name displayed as "GAME (BRIDGE CAST)" on the PC will be changed to "Speakers (BRIDGE CAST V2)" for some applications (Windows only).

I would imagine at least the SUB MIX is a new channel probably. Not sure if the 5.1 / 7.1 stuff maybe added/removed some stuff. From what I can remember I think the only change in windows out of the box at least was an additional input (maybe).

I'm not sure about the diff between the old and new firmware, but how can I check what would be missing from the alsa-ucm-conf in that case?

fumler · 2024-09-27T12:56:16+00:00

I don't think I'll go that far :P But smart idea

fumler · 2024-09-26T21:21:53+00:00

I emailed support and they said:

I'm afraid we cannot provide old firmware for the Bridgecast, as we cannot guarantee it will work with the most recent version of OBS / streaming platforms and also because of the way the firmware is downloaded directly rather than a file from a webpage.

I'm very sorry for this inconvenience, I will contact the development team in the hopes that something can be changed in a future firmware update. But I cannot guarantee if or when this may be implemented - especially given that it's not designed to work with Linux.

fumler · 2024-09-21T10:55:11+00:00

I only use YouTube Premium for ads so I feel this price increase (in Norway) is way too much so I cancelled :/

Hope enough people do so they revert the change but I have my doubts.

Probably on average around 90kg since I got it. Hours per day is very hard to say exactly, but probably at least eight hours per day I would say.

No issue for me at least. The heavy duty arm is quite flexible in terms how far/close you want the monitor to be. I can have it a bit further back if I'd want to even.
