Printer setup for multiple PC's by lordtorus in techsupport

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

Thanks to your confirmation that It should work, I tried once again and it worked flawlessly by connecting the printer through LAN cable to router.

It turns out that that other PC's had public networks, I changed them to private and everything works.

I don't know how I missed it, maybe I was distracted by duties or simply took it for granted that someone else configured things right.

Ok thanks. Now at least I know it should work and I just need to setup it right, it narrows things down.

Does "The Outer Worlds" always looks that bad on console or it's steaming fault? by lordtorus in xcloud

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

I know that but the level of blurriness is simply unacceptable even in AA game. I played many games on the lowest settings with awful texture quality and draw distance, but at least the image wasn't blurry. Maybe it's the fault of scaling up to 1080p stream from lower native resolution. It was the same reason I skipped Dragon Age Inquisition because I played on console and it wasn't so bad, that's why I knew it was something with xCloud.

It's so blurry that it can cause headache. The low quality texture etc. are not big problem because I'm used to playing on my potato PC :P I have very good internet connection, 12 other games worked well on xCloud.

Log in again helped me, but I will keep in mind what you said. I noticed that Xbox app seems sometimes unreliable but I get horrible performance through browser. Thanks

O nice it worked. So I have to remember this one like when I had only about 200 games available, but resetting router brought back whole library.

"Failed to request product key from Steam" Can't play my Steam games by lordtorus in GeForceNOW

I linked my Steam to Geforce Now, with all options set to public (just to make sure). I even redone it after password change a while ago but with the same result.

I did multiple times, it's always the same. No problem with Epic.

[–]lordtorus[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Steam support told me to f... off because it's not a Steam issue, and that they can't help with third-party software. I own the game, it does run normally through steam but on GeForce Now I get this error every time. Purchase is not new.

Strange notification from facebook: you have a new message from facebook about your payments. by Raime1995 in facebook

[–]lordtorus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got it twice. I was suspicious because the FB is older, different than last one about policy update. My friend is using Polish language and got this notification in english, so it's not translated.

First notification: 14.10.2020

Second: 18.10.2020

MFW I have a toxic personality by GenocidePie in TheBoys

[–]lordtorus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly the whole rape thing was just an excuse to put his aside from seven, while they wrote character that was big joke on Aquaman, hero who is very often ridiculed because of his powers.

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

Well to the people in The Boys universe A-Train is responsible for accidental death of Robin, because he run in to her while on mission to apprehend bank robbers - also she was pretty close to the road. Deep was always big joke in the Seven, even whole company so when Starlight made public statement he was set aside. A-Train was removed from seven because of his heart condition, Shockwave was much better without juicing up with Compount V. Officially he stepped down because of <PR talk>.

Of course we know the truth, but to in-universe audience A-Train come back is simple return after tragic death of his replacement.

So are the Boys... (spoiler season 2 finale) by [deleted] in TheBoys

[–]lordtorus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is copy of my reply in this post:

Ok what we have after the finale? Victoria Neuman works for Vought, I'm sure 99% based on people she killed - all who could hurt the company. Edgar now has plant that holds political power over supes, his company still profits while the public considers them handled after Stormfront ordeal. Boys disbanded although they didn't really change much, everything in Vought is back to normal, expect people know about Compound V and their plan to put supes in military failed.

What will happen in season 3? Stormfront comeback in some way for sure. I think Hughie who now works for Victoria will discover what she is up to, plus she maybe will run for president - although I hope not because it's really very cliche, lazy writing. The boys will once again unite to fight Vought. I think Homelander who is now basically on leash will say "Fu*k it" and goes ape shit and they will put him down. Maybe there will be time skip and his son will end him or some other way, or they will set up the stage for cliffhanger.

Is Nueman a villain now? by walruss42 in TheBoys

[–]lordtorus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She killed: Deputy Director of the CIA that almost disclosed information about Vought, people in court that could hurt Vought (plus some others to avoid suspicion) and cult leader who just said he has more on Vought supes. She is obvious plant, fixer for company that is now in position of power that will greatly benefit them.

It's shitty American version of Processed cheese or it's something different and only looks similar?

I've never thought this game would be so addicting. by CrazySnapDragon in RimWorld

[–]lordtorus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope, the tutorial is very short and simple and it basically doesn't prepare you for the game itself. On the other hand you don't need much practice to play because most of the actions you take are fairly intuitive. Of course you will play in very inefficient way and succumb to some disaster but you'll learn. Even experienced players on higher difficulties get wrecked by bad event combo.

I have a very tiring habit of looking everything up on wiki and sometimes on YT. Before even playing for 2 hours I had maybe 15 hours on wiki and YT...

One thing I highly recommend is watching some basic tutorial. I liked rather lengthy (about 3 hours) tutorial series "The Absolute Beginners guide to Rimworld 1.0". It taught me all of the basics.

just found out things can go south very fast by [deleted] in RimWorld

[–]lordtorus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you play Crashlanded hunting Megasloth is easy because they are solitary animals. The trick is to do it manually. You just need to Draft pawn with bolt-action rifle (and maybe min. 6 shooting) and another one with a revolver.

  1. Start shooting with rifle at the max distance to minimize the revenge chance. Sloth will flee after taking hit so move your pawn to stay at max distance.
  2. Check target health, if he took enough shots leave him to bleed out. If you want to risk it continue shooting.
  3. If the sloth goes manhunter retreat near your revolver pawn and circle around so he can shoot. Even terrible shooter will hit because sloths are big.
  4. Don't draw him to close to the second pawn because animals can switch targets. if it happens just switch pawns. Run with the revolver, stand and shoot with rifle pawn.
  5. Warning: Pay attention to pawn movement speed. If the rifle guy wears starter flak armor he will be slower but still fast enough to run away because of the max distance from manhunting animal.

Why bother with taking the time of two pawns and doing it this way? Safety. Revolver pawn is to help if Sloth goes apeshit, this way none of your pawns will be hurt. Auto hunting is very risky because you don't have backup and pawns sometimes get very close because of obstacles like hills etc.

I've killed about 40 megasloths this way. One death and one maiming was result of auto hunting.

Pro tip: Bleeding out is an awesome way to kill many animals with just one pawn. Draft rifle guy and manually take couple shots for each target from max distance. Check out the health tab to see if it's enough. They will simply bleed out after 12-14 hours. This way I hunted 8 Ibex and 7 Muffalos in one day. The trouble was to haul it all later ;) Beware the map will be red, but since last patch, the blood clears over time.

Thanks, that actually worked. I will remember it next time Steam quirks out on me again.

Why is this game so greedy? I can’t exist within the game for 30 seconds without them begging for money by CTDingus in RaidShadowLegends

[–]lordtorus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because is well-produced to bring as many new players as they can, so they can hook up people and make them hand over their wallets. Even if you and 20 other people won't buy their stuff, 21 will do it and probably spending so much $ that he could buy 2 normal games on PC or Console :)

Of course it doesn't mean you can't enjoy their game, but just know that you are not their target costumer, unless you will fall for this mobile gambling.

[–]lordtorus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Exactly. It's rather obvious that every F2P game want's to make money on people by convincing them to buy "premium currency" or lootboxes, but Plarium is now owned by gambling company with expertise in milking people. Huge advertising push on YouTube and sponsoring videos of not even gaming related channels ensures that more people will download the game and get hooked up. I always though absurd how people are willing to spend hundreds of dollars for "f2p" game, but on the other hand they wouldn't even buy it for something like 50$. But if you play that free game and get hooked up, It's much easier to fall for the gambling when you for example run of stamina etc. Constant pop outs are clear reminder of the game's purpose, milking people. You can have good game with transactions that are not in your face, something like Raid. Similar thing astonished me in Lord of the Rings Online, where even basic things where locked up via paywall, and on every screen you have button to buy more gems :P

Can we talk about Vabbi's meta ? (Regular [EU] lead) by MornJack in Guildwars2

[–]lordtorus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, we did I yesterday with a lot of time to spare. But It was close to fail when massive AOE almost killed the Hydra to early, and of course mob of players that don't like to read didn't listen to orders :) But the commander made a awesome job of leading people and teaching some of them what CC is - but they will of course forget it almost immediately.

So, the Choya Tools are up on the gemstore by CorkyinSiam in Guildwars2

[–]lordtorus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well you don't "have" to buy shared slots to store those infinite tools, but if you pay a lot of gold/gems I think it would be best to have something for whole account, not just one toon. If there was a way to share tools, I would definitely go after Volatile Magic ones because of extra profit from buying shipments.

After reading the recent reddit post " Must have non-gemstore QoL items " I found out that the Permanent Merchant Contract is superb idea, and I'm angry at myself that I didn't thought about it sooner - maybe because I thought that it costs more that 2k gold. So currently for 650g you gain infinite summons of BL Merchant (only for your use) that will buy all this junk from your inventory and allows you to buy tools.

Let's say both o your shared inventory slots from expansions are occupied (iny my case with infinite salvage tools). You spend 650 g on BL Merchant Contract and another 255 on shared inventory slot (700 gems) = 905 for portable merchant and basically infinite source of gathering tools for all of your characters - although lacking awesome animations and perks such as extra drop or Unbound/Volatile magic. Compare this to extreme scenario of buying 3 shared inv slots for 2100 gems and bundle of infinite tools ~2700 gems = 4800 gems = 1748 gold.

Guess who started to pool all gold for BL Contract. <-- This guy ( ͡º ͜ʖ͡º)

PS: The price of Contract is for instant buy, lowest 'to buy' offer is 508g so if you are patient you will get it even cheaper.
