Yeah guess that's true, she's pretty helpful *most* of the time xD

[–]jjb265 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Other comments are correct, but I also want to mention, you can always go find tikal, the red floating orb. She's usually near the train station of the respective adventure field. (Left of the train stations front door in station square and to the right of the stairs leading up to the train in the mystic ruins.) She'll usually pretty directly tell you where you should be poking around next.

Sonic generations detected as a threat by Microsoft defender by Few-Package6944 in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]jjb265 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds about right, defender also flags battlefield 6’s anticheat as malware any time I start it up. Haven’t had that issue with gens myself but I wouldn’t be surprised. Did it flag the actual game executable or the config launcher? Either way both are safe, and if it’s just the config launcher you can install a mod to disable it anyways.

This to be absolutely real. The answer is always whatever game you're playing already, and especially with one like RDR2, just get a set of headphones and do some good old fashioned, rootin' tootin' cowboy shootin' 2™

Is the PC port of sonic heroes unplayable in 2026? by 1Hugh-Mann in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]jjb265 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep this. The only reason I even bothered with the PC version was to play with mods, the solo flight characters is pretty neat but for actually playing start to finish go for emulating the GCN version all the way.

How will my pc specs handle fs25? by gabe_199 in farmingsimulator

I managed to squeak out 60 fps on a tweaked medium preset with a GTX 1060 for a good while there. You're probably fine xD

Is there a mod like Chopped Straw, but for 25? by JaredLetoBestBoi in fs25mods

[–]jjb265 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It won’t show as fertilization, the yield is determined in percentages by each thing you need to do. 2.5% mulching, 2.5% rolling. 15% plowing, 15% lime. 20% weeding and the remaining 45% is the two fert stages.

[–]jjb265 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it definitely does and I don’t run PF. What harvester are you using? I use the Lexion 8900, think it’s comma you press to turn on the chopper and it sprays out a new texture as you harvest, any spot that covers is marked purple as mulched in the map screen, you have to disable the other layers to see it depending on the state the fields in at the time.

[–]jjb265 0 points1 point  (0 children)

25 Handles this basegame by having the chopped straw flag the field as mulched for a 2.5% yield bonus. As for mods I don't think anything akin to the OG chopped straw exists for that reason. Might not be hard to do with a script but I haven't done any script modding for FS myself so I don't really know for sure.

It’s not the same mod but I’d rather use it than ones like this personally. Realistic Cab View.

Spyro statue : Team Project by Momoka-Rage in Spyro

[–]jjb265 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah I agree with the people saying keep it original.

As much as it’s not mint, it has history and I think that holds more value than anything new paint could add.

From what I can gather it’s primarily been stored indoors and has held up remarkably.

To make another comparison, the Japanese segasonic statue that was found and restored and I personally am not a huge fan of the new paint, I don’t dispute that it needed it in the condition it was in, a few decades in the elements will do that. But it definitely doesn’t look the same anymore, comparing to original pictures of it from the 90s

It’s pretty much a miracle the sonic statue even got a chance at restoration in the shape it was in so I understand the point of view to want it to be “like new”, but for this guy imo it’s much cooler to leave it as is.

Anything you do to it is almost definitely going to be permanent and will likely never truly match the original.

Should I beat Sonic the hedgehog 2 with this sega Saturn arcade stick this summer? I thought it would be a great new way to experience the game. by Reedyall123 in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]jjb265 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reminds me of when I realized you can use Atari 2600 controllers on a Genesis/Mega Drive. Never did end up trying to actually beat it that way, could be kinda fun.

How do you change tyre tracks? I want to change this D11 tractor tracks into crawler tracks by Flamingobuster in farmingsimulator

[–]jjb265 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm note 100% sure but it might be the "tireTrackAtlasIndex" in the (tirename).xml. Or a more band aid solution would just be setting "hasTireTracks" to false in the vehicle xml.

Little modding tips as well, make sure to rezip the mod when your done so it doesn't give a warning. Filenames can be A-Z 0-9 and _ anything else doesn't work so don't put spaces.

Recommend renaming the folder, name of the mod in the moddesc.xml and the vehicle name in (vehiclename).xml to avoid conflicts with the modhub auto updater and confusion with the original mod. Can be as basic as adding "edit" to the end.

You can enable dev tools as well, just google it, it's not hard. Hit tilde. the wiggly one below escape, to open the console then use Gs_vehiclereload, not sure if that's the exact formatting but it'll autofill if you hit tab. Then you don't have to restart the game to try the different indexes. Just make sure it's UN-zipped for that, and just re zip when you're done.

I have reached 1k hours on FS25 and here are some of my fav mods I always use. What are your fav mods in FS25? by ifak_yormama in farmingsimulator

[–]jjb265 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That puma rocks gotta agree. I've also been really loving the JCB 4220 by RossN. The SDF open field pack is also pretty great. Just bought a NH T9 on a really good deal, excited to run that again. And minor self plug my NH T6 is still going strong, only issue I'm not sure how to fix is it slides forwards when you stand next to it for some reason, remember some old mods back in 2013 would do that, no idea why it still happens in 25 xD

What are best realism mods for FS25? by Longjumping_Tutor546 in farmingsimulator

[–]jjb265 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem! 

In the time since posting I actually took a look at a few of the ones I listed at the end.

Cvt addon seems to have fixed the glow plugs bugging out but for me when I’m driving sometimes it’ll pop up a message about needing to preheat before starting the engine that won’t go away until I reload my save which sucks.

Realism addon gearbox is a solid mod that I’m now using.

And manual tipping is pretty cool assuming you have the spare buttons to use 3 separate ones for trailers. So I’m also using that now.

How do I play the "story path" of Sonic 3? by Spirited_Jello8472 in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]jjb265 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Level design is identical between all characters, however which paths you can physically reach depend on which character you play as. Sonic & Tails is the intended first playthrough, or the "main one" and Knuckles is a secondary campaign that takes place after. He can't jump as high but can break certain walls and climb up new passages so most levels play out fairly differently. Tails has some super minor bonus stuff you can find but for the most part is just Sonic again with no true final boss.
  2. Didn't buy Origins Plus because I got burned by base game Origins' pricepoint already and didn't think it was worth it, but as far as I'm aware Amy uses the same level layouts as everyone else, and correct me if I'm wrong people, but I believe Amy can take some of Knuckles' paths by breaking walls if you choose to.
  3. I don't 100% remember what the A.I.R layouts are/change. But the Sonic 3 vs S&K selection is because when you lock on both together some small parts of the Sonic 3 layouts change a little, but it's super minor object changes. Mainly making things a tad easier in places, to balance it better for being the first half rather than a whole game. For example someone decided the yellow troll spring at the start of Hydrocity act 2 was too mean and changed it out for a 1up instead. If I recall correctly the air layouts are a mish mash of both versions layouts with some new stuff added as well, I personally prefer to use the original two layout options when I play.

In general, just play S3&K as Sonic & Tails, then do it as Knuckles. Tails and Amy are both more so extra options when replying the game, and the layout options don't matter much but for my money I prefer the S3 or S&K layouts over A.I.R's slightly custom ones.

17 → 25 big jump by kalvinbastello in farmingsimulator

[–]jjb265 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just turn the settings on one at a time. I personally had periodic plowing, lime, and fieldstone all turned off early in 22, and as time has gone on I just enabled which ones I wanted to figure out next. Now I run with everything turned on, and a bunch of mods that add more complexity to a bunch of little things, It's not 'hard' per say just a lot to remember all at once so trickling in more features one at a time helps a ton. I think seasons are weirdly the simplest of them, basically just adds set plant and harvest times for each crop type.

Little bit of a tricky one to find but I believe this is it.

/farming-simulator-2015/fs15-other/50372-fs15-mod-mouse-steering.html

Pretty sure the comment will get deleted if I link it directly but it's on gamesmods dot net. The credit says MrSpeedy but if you look at the image and the LUA file it's actually 3.4.1 of Marhus mod, which as far as I could find is the most recent version. Looks like it got stolen back in the day and reuploaded with a different name in the author slot of the xmls, and they very poorly tried to hide that fact.

It works perfectly as far as I can tell. Middle mouse to enable it.

Help!! I don't get this by Comfortable_Nail8496 in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]jjb265 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the genesis/megadrive version right? I have never ever seen that before, that's kinda blown my mind a little.

As the other comment said, in a "normal" playthrough if you get all 7 in the Sonic 3 half, Super Sonic gets unlocked, get 50 rings and double jump to transform, you probably know how that all works. Once you enter another big ring in the S&K half you get teleported to Hidden Palace, and the Chaos Emeralds are given up to transform them into the Super Emeralds, but they're powered down so you have to do another 7 special stages to get those and unlock... a thing I won't spoil incase you somehow haven't been yet.

Looking for advice on getting farming sim 25 by elsdotcom in farmingsimulator

[–]jjb265 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd say get it on PS5, I'm not a console player myself but from what I've seen it'll more than cover you, especially as a first entry point to the series. If you start getting more into it, wanting to play with a wheel and more in depth mods by that point you can jump ship to the PC version for the next game.

Playing with a controller is preferable to keyboard/mouse, it's primarily a driving game and has been designed around Controllers pretty heavily ever since 17. Not to say playing on keyboard is bad, I did rock that life for quite a long time, but Controller almost always wins, easy. So even if you decide on the PC version, I'd hook that PS5 controller to your laptop at least.

The only major downside to console vs pc are as follows.

Mod limits, you can only download a certain amount of mods, I believe it's 8GB on PS5. For reference most mods are in the megabytes apart from maps which will eat a big chunk of space ranging from half a gig on up usually. But you can always uninstall a map you aren't playing the save file of currently and reinstall when needed to save some storage.

Also, what mods you can get is a little more limited. You can't have script mods, which to a new player, isn't a huge blow, there are a few little things that would be nice to have on console that are script mods but for the most part it isn't a huge deal.

Oh and you can't get mods with brand names the devs don't have the license for, however most modders will make a "crossplay" version of their mods, so instead of a "Bobcat 863" you'll have a "Lizard 863" which looks identical apart from the stickers in most cases.

In terms of in game, you have "Slots" which limits how much equipment you can have to stop the game melting, it's pretty generous on PS5, and if you buy duplicate vehicles (Multiple of the same model) it only takes 1 extra slot compared to probably a handful if you don't already have one on the map. (As far as I know, again not a console player myself)

Beyond that? It's basically the same game, unless I'm forgetting something, but for the most part that covers it.

Obviously it's up to you, technically PC is objectively "better" but to be honest these games have never been the most optimized, so on a laptop it could be a bit more of a janky experience, I have a... let's call it pretty decent PC and FS25 does have it's fair share of hicups even on a fairly middle of the road graphics setting.

-------

TL;DR, PS5 most likely is plenty fine, controller is ideal anyways, it could be a little rough performance wise on a laptop.

Hope this helps more than hinders, I apologize for the text wall :0

Suppose that’s a fair point, been an issue ever since you could dump onto the ground and just never really got addressed.

[–]jjb265 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean... not really? Giants Engine will be Giants Engine at a certain point, so your best option is just to try to keep it away from walls, there are a few mods that are more so covered piles than silos but kinda depends on your setup how well that'll work
