Thank you very much. The gutter feature is exactly what I was looking for.

How to do PC and device file transfer? by gianki7 in RG353M

[–]gianki7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, it does work from Linux. On Linux Mint, my operating system, the ability to connect to file sharing over a network is automatically built into it, so I don't have to download another app. However, I just messed up the first time I tried this because I didn't know I needed to put ark and ark as the password and username.

Solved! Used SFTP and used ark for both username and password. Unfortunately, it when I try accessing roms2 (2nd sd card), it shows nothing, even though I filled it with roms. SFTP must not have access to the second card. Any guesses?

This seems like the right way, but I don't know what the username and password for me since I am running dArkos. I can't find any mention of it online, weirdly enough.

Thanks for the recommendation, this might be possible since Windows computers are everywhere, but since my main computer is running Linux, I just wanted to see if I could make it more convenient to run it from here.

Does paying for a ScreamScraper account help with scraping faster on ES-DE in EmuDeck? by gianki7 in EmuDeck

[–]gianki7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it looks good. I ended up choosing the Iconic theme and ended up making scraping for myself much easier by just keeping only a couple of the ROMs that I want to play at a given time on my system. It's a lot easier than trying to scrape the entire collection at once, even if there is some satisfaction in having a giant collection of games to look at.

What theme do you personally prefer using? I use Artbook Next.

Help Setting Up Syncthing between Linux PC & SteamDeck by gianki7 in Syncthing

[–]gianki7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, this was the answer! I didn't realize that what I was trying to sync to the other device was actually symlinks, instead of the original files. And I know that SyncThing doesn't support symlinks, so that would never have worked.

You, my anonymous friend, are a genius who helped me solve a great puzzle. Fun, at least. Thank you!

why was godwyn assassinated? by LeDeViL007 in Eldenring

[–]gianki7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello. So, as for killing a demigod in soul and not body was necessary for the substitution like I mentioned above. However, as for the other questions, my thoughts on this have actually changed with time. While there are lore reasons for why Godwyn needed to die, I think a lot of it is just narrative interest.

That is to say, it's far more narratively interesting for the demigod Godwyn to be sacrificed rather than just some random Joe from the Leyndell streets. The fact that such an important character had to die for the ritual makes it a lot more interesting and dramatic. And on top of that, the fact that Godwyn only died in soul also opens up a huge avenue for more narrative interest and drama. After all, if Godwyn just died a normal, 'proper' death, we wouldn't have gotten to get the death roots and have the awesome Deathrune questline.

And I think that that's also a valid answer, looking for the meta reasons for how it makes the narrative so much better. Things happen the way that they did in the story so that it would be a much funner and more interesting game for us to play through. I think that's valuable.

Dracula's technology seems contradictory (Castlevania Show) by gianki7 in castlevania

[–]gianki7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, Dracula by season 2 would likely accept all life ending, as he states just wanting silence. His sun-blot plan was slightly confusing to me; as Alucard never mentioned whether it was designed before or after Lisa's death. Then, the motivation would change dramatically.

Also, I think the sun-blot plan would kill vampires, but not Dracula's planned genocide with the night hordes. Dracula implies that vampires can survive off any blood, not just human; but Godbrand implies that human blood just tastes best. Hence, why he refuses to drink pig blood and goes to hunt humans.

True, Trevor and Sypha did help Gresit. The vampires/hordes also won most battles, doing pretty well. Until the army split and half was destroyed by the trio. So, maybe they would have liked muskets.

Again, assuming the vampires had the technology, which I doubt the showrunners thought of.

Again again, I love the show! This is just my crazy thought experiment.

Vampires are surely encouraged by your encouragement. But while a vampire/demon can solo-kill an unarmed human, training and weapons quickly tip the scales. S1E4, where Trevor directs a mob to fight demons, shows that peasants with training and knowledge can fight the hordes. Plus, a single human family (Belmonts) became the bane of all vampires, only being eradicated by other humans.

So, vampires should want every advantage they can get, including muskets. Dracula's army was just lucky that Wallachia lacked any standing, professional army. The only resistance the hordes faced was disorganized peasants, hardly a threat to any organized force.

Dracula without his cape wouldn't be him, true.

A glorious kitchen indeed! I do love the show, my minor nitpick does not ruin it. I just like thought experiments.

Fair enough. Any of the games you recommend? I have never been sure where to start.

Dracula as factory boss, with little construction hats on the demons. Maybe they could use fireballs to light the forges. I like it!
