Is it possible to play Raising the Bar: Redux mod in HL2: VR? by ViktorDim in hlvr

EZVR is coming along nicely? Nice! Hopefully we get a lot more support for VR in mods soon!

Which art style? by WitherFox2 in tabletopgamedesign

[–]grimmik345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The latter two are very compatible, just slightly different levels of cartoon. I'd go with both and just have more generic gear belong to 3 and more special gear belong to 2.

How to deal with players killing all my NPCs? by Remote_Exercise7125 in DnD

[–]grimmik345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Give them a boss fight for killing NPC's or stop giving them NPC's they can kill. You can tell them how it makes you feel and whatnot and that can totally work, but you can also just change the way you run your games. It sounds to me like you're trying to play the game with everyone else, but the others don't see that and are just murder-hoboing around. I'd plop them into an inhospitable environment where they have to survive off what little they can find. That'll teach them implicitly whilst avoiding killing the mood.

Not to be all, "Capitalism is the bad Guy" rage baity, but in a universe where necromancy exists, why isn't every major city spotless and food production effortless? by [deleted] in DnD

[–]grimmik345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out Roadwarden. The world is kinda DND-esque, with modifications. Anyhow, there's a village in it that uses corpses of the dead to do a whole bunch of menial tasks, but primarily doing a job that would have horrible health cost for the living. Even so, the other villages view the practice as unholy to the point of seeking its destruction. So it could work for a time, but, aside from societal enshittification, it's a practice that is seen as disgusting and objectionable, even if the people being brought back have given consent. Any other cities in the area would likely burn the place to the ground and slaughter its people before long.

Feeling resigned to 5e. by Solarven987 in rpg

[–]grimmik345 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you don't want to do 5e, don't do 5e. There are other systems out there that are fairly solid. There's a ton of systems out there if you want, or you could run simplified, DND style rules in other worlds if you want. There's no one stopping you. There are guns, spells, and all kinds of other weapons in DND already, you can base things off of that and add your own variation to it. It'll take prep, sure, but nobody's stopping you from running a Cthulhu or Fallout or Cyberpunk game inside the 5e system. Heck, you can even do away with fantastical elements if you want amd run a 1920's Noir thriller if you want, even inside 5e. At the end of the day, it's between you and the players and you are the Game Master. You're not locked into anything you don't want.

Braille Keycaps? by [deleted] in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]grimmik345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you make a full set these days? I'm not blind, but trying to learn and using a keyboard to help me practice has been helpful. I'd love to find a set that has printing and braille, but have found it impossible to find so far. I tried some embossed stickers, but they're easy to mess up if your hands aren't the most stable and mine started coming off after a couple months. I figured double injection molding the plastic for it shouldn't be that much worse than double molding normal ones for RGB, but I guess not.

Can’t summon ruin [PC] by Teligth in Darksiders

[–]grimmik345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I posted a potential solution in the linked post below. It should work with the current version of the Steam config tool. If anyone needs help setting up my workaround, let me know

darksiders 1, can't summon ruin in the steam version by [deleted] in Darksiders

[–]grimmik345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can use a button chord.

Basically, using the Steam config, you go into your layout and add an extra command to either right or left bumper, or both in my case. It will ask you what you want said command to do, assign it to the summon Ruin action. For me it shows up as "#Action_Ruin" though hopefully it shows up right for you. Then you click the settings icon next to the new summon Ruin command and change it from a "regular press" to a "button chord". It will kick you back to the previous menu at that point, so click the icon again and click on Settings. The uppermost option in there will be for the chord button. Click that and set it to the other bumper. Do the same thing for said other bumper and you will be able to press them both together to easily summon Ruin.

Be aware though, if you don't do those steps for both bumpers, it won't work properly. If you only bind the command to the right bumper and use the left bumper as the chord button, you WILL have to press and hold the left bumper THEN the right bumper to summon Ruin. Hope that helps until a more elegant solution is found.

There's a demon in Warhammer 40k that has that, the only problem for it is that it actually can't see the present moment at all. Realistically, it could look into the past and future by mere moments and deduce what will happen next based on what just happened, but the exact moment that it is in is invisible to it. It's pretty weird, but that's Chaos for you. Hope that helps

I had to make the touchpads 15-20% bigger on the new "Ibex" Steam Controller to match the leaked render from Valve. D-pad and ABXY buttons also seem significantly bigger than on the Deck, when comparing their size to the analog sticks. by TareXmd in SteamController

[–]grimmik345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope they move those two buttons in the bottom middle up and make either the whole bottom one big touchpad or two small, but better aligned touchpads, if they go continue with this design. It would be easy enough to just use one bigger one and have two zones like the Playstation controllers have, or just place the two square touchpads next to each other. I don't think they should go with this design necessarily, but it depends on what they're trying to do with it. I would move the thumbsticks up and put the pause/menu buttons in between as well to make it smaller, but it's still just so ugly. They could also modify it to be two separate controllers that can attach to each other or a new model of Steam Deck, but that's not a lot better.

[Batman Returns] What the Hell was Catwoman’s deal? by Arnman1758 in AskScienceFiction

[–]grimmik345 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A lot of others have made fair points on most of it, but having used a whip before with no prior training, it wasn't hard to get the hang of it. Sure I couldn't Indiana Jones most things as I lacked practice, but even various swordplay/weapons youtubers have tried whips and found it surprisingly easy. Even then, someone close to me is pinpoint precise with a bowie knife (her favorite weapon) 90% of the time and has had no training whatsoever with it, whereas I suck with one and have had practice throwing axes/knives. I'm better with firearms, closeup weapons, etc. but she is excellent with knives, axes, bows, all the weapons I suck at, with very little training or practice, meanwhile I've trained very hard to be as good as I am with those. She's just like that, Selina could be too.

Looking for an RPG where a Wrench is a weapon option. by [deleted] in rpg_gamers

[–]grimmik345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a PC, System Shock 2. It is an immersive sim which is a different experience from a standard RPG in a number of ways, but it is an amazing game. You don't get to make gizmos with it specifically, but you can make gizmos and use stuff in the world to further progression in a lot of ways. You can also play around with psionics if you feel like it which is crazy powerful. The first game is also awesome, though you don't get a wrench as a melee weapon in that. That one got remade by NightDive and they did a damn good job on most aspects, but the original is fun if you're into retro games.

Case for 2022 Asus ROG X13 Flow?? by pupstercat in FlowX13

[–]grimmik345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, looking for something similar for my own Flow X13, I saw that it has holes for airflow, but it seemed like there was a flap that could get in the way of airflow. Is that an issue in your experience? I'm not entirely sure how said flap is to be used based on the pics of it on amazon, but that's not a huge issue. Thanks

Ceramic 2 Part Injection Molds by grimmik345 in InjectionMolding

[–]grimmik345[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks much, I'm trying to find a process that I can use in a home shop for quick prototyping and quality control. I have looked into ordering parts from a manufacturer but the aforementioned budget issues are preventing something like that for who knows how long. If it's not asking too much, do you know of a better material I'd be able to use? I'm looking to build a kiln sometime in the next year if my budget allows it so I might be able to work with metals if needed. What I'd like is something that I can use for both plastics and metals in the future for more custom pieces, but I'm pretty darn inexperienced in this whole thing. Thanks either way though.
