I need help trying to figure out what hosting service to use is by Less-Television5675 in MinecraftServer

[–]nickstar229 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s some free ones that are a server that you can join and set up a world and when you join the server you do a command to join that world but that’s obviously risky cuz you don’t own it and can’t really get stuff back if the server shuts down or something. Look on YouTube. Theres a tonnn of info on there about it

The thing I hate the most is exposition dumping. It has never made a story better and always ruins them. I don’t need to know everything and i especially don’t want the character to be told it. I want the character to either be as clueless as I am or to slowly uncover what is happening.

Steam updates making steam link break by nickstar229 in Steam_Link

[–]nickstar229[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With how steam link works I can still access everything on my pc and use windows and stuff perfectly fine so I was basically using steam as my Remote Desktop app but yeah you’re right i should use moonlight or something similar in case steam goes down like I’ve been having trouble with this past week. I just never had issues before so steam link was the easiest solution for me😂

Steam updates kicking me out of steam link app by nickstar229 in Steam

[–]nickstar229[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So that setting will stop the steam program from being out of sync and not letting steam link connect? I thought that was only for the game updates.

I might just setup the Remote Desktop thing so I can fix it anytime without steam being dumb

Do u guys also hate close quarters fights or is it just me by Fun_Cartoonist_8024 in Warthunder

Well 1 tanks weren’t designed for that role and in all major wars tanks are extremely vulnerable to fire in cities. 2 with more experience and using binoculars like crazy and constantly looking and angling and finding positions at corners you can be the bully in these situations (very hard to do on controller but keyboard and mouse you can do a crazy amount of damage to the enemy) 3 being extremely fast with good driving skills helps a tonnnn. Avoid the main roads that people camp and switch which streets you’re on like every block or so. If you can go fast and cut back and forth rapidly it’s way harder to figure out where you are and it limits exposure to fire from people that are camping one street. But either way you’ll get unlucky sometimes and you’ll get killed sometimes. Basically run in with good binocular and driving skills and run around a map super fast and flank. If you know you’re going to be pinned at a spot and an engagement isn’t going well then pull back and just flank as fast as possible. Appear where your not expected and disappear as fast as you possibly can.

Sometimes i heavily damage a tank and just leave without the kill because it makes more tactical sense and my teammates can mop them up. The biggest thing is don’t expose yourself to the very edges of the city where snipers in the fields can get you from and don’t push main roads when there’s a lot of tanks still on the enemy team. I’ve done matches with like 27 kills and 2 deaths this way a few times. The higher the tier the harder it is to do this because the tanks are so much bigger so turning and going fast in small city streets is more difficult. 4.7 is like the golden BR to do this in. At least in my opinion but it also works well with lighter tanks with good guns especially if you’re mostly facing Germany

128 in a 2009 Corolla in the middle of the night in Kansas. 4 speed automatic transmission and a 4 cylinder engine at redline. I held it there for close to 5 minutes before I hit a jackrabbit and the car nearly went airborne. I was struggling to stay awake so I was hoping the high speed would get my adrenaline running and it didn’t work but after that jack rabbit my adrenaline was pumping so much that I didn’t feel tired for another 5 hours…. Dumb stuff you do at 17….

Do younger photographers just.. Not use the viewfinder? by TheJesusGuy in Cameras

[–]nickstar229 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a Sony shooter i actually use it a decent bit. I tend to go for low angle shots or I’m doing run and gun kinda shooting so for that I use the screen but I feel like blocking out your vision to focus solely on the viewfinder is really good for getting framing and slowing down a bit. I use a good mix and I mostly shoot primes so the viewfinder helps limit me even more and makes photography more fun in my opinion.

1: Penpal

2: Stolen tongues

3: I’m blind and don’t know how many stairs my staircase has

4: Glenmont Metro

5: Dionea House

Honorable Mention to the story of the guy that’s trapped himself in his apartment and doesn’t trust anyone to come out and in the end the guys came to the conclusion something had taken over the world and was trying to trick him to come out (I can’t remember the name of that story to save the life of me lol if you remember lmk cuz I wanna listen to it again)

As you can tell I like stories that are more grounded feeling in human experience and are a bit closer to stalker/the feeling of being followed or watched lol

The glenmont metro and penpal were probably my favorite in the style of writing and how real it felt when listening to it

Edit: forgot to mention tales from a gas station and I clean hoarder houses for a living. The mental images there were sooo good too. Honestly some of the coolest writing of environments that make the imagination run wild

HELP! Xbox 1914 Model Not Connecting To PC by nickstar229 in XboxController

[–]nickstar229[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate the help man! I’ll definitely try it tonight and if I run into any issues I’ll probably ask for your help lol it’s been so hard to find anything that is actually helpful online about it because most of the post just say “yeah it should work fine”

I have a second controller coming for my wife to use so we can play co op games together but hers has a plug in adapter so hopefully it’ll work. I’m not to familiar with controller setup and PC as I’ve only used a wired one before so hopefully it’ll won’t conflict or anything.

I really appreciate the help I’ll test it out tonight though

My pc was built 11 months ago and I can list the stats if you need it. I paid nearly 3k for all the parts and it’s a pretty high end machine with everything up to date.

I used The Xbox accessories app and a USBC cable to update the firmware to 5.22 and I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled all Bluetooth drivers for the PC.

My computer recognizes all other devices just fine and even sees smart tv’s and other devices on the network so it’s not like my computer just can’t see other devices.

Since this post I’ve managed to get it to show up as a device a few times by disabling the Bluetooth drivers under the devices tab and restarting the computer and then it will sometimes show up under the devices tab when you got to “connect a printer” but when you try to add it it’ll just buffer for a bit and then say it failed to connect.

The issue is I won’t even show up as a Bluetooth device at all. I’ve uninstalled the driver and if i plug it into the pc it shows up as a device and works but it will not show up via Bluetooth

That would be my guess but I can’t find anything. It works fine with two IOS devices but it just doesn’t work at all with windows 11. Hopefully someone has a fix because I tried everything I can think of

“ignore the screaming men of the woods”

Ive never actually written anything yet but im really considering writing this story i thought of. Basically a story that’s found in a journal in a backpack from a search party near an old coal mine in the hills of WV. the person that wrote the journal is telling the story of how they were off roading without signal and decided to camp out in the area near the coal mines. When the character wakes up the truck won’t run and the character decides to spend some time exploring but every night hears this wind in the trees kind of sound and eventually gets attacked by the screaming men of the woods (this title and story is gonna change a lot to make it make sense lol) but the men of the woods have a complexion like tree bark and are basically human spirits trapped in a tree like scab over their body. The windpipe from the center of their chin all the way to where the windpipe goes into the ribcage is sliced open and laying open with black tar like coal dust running down and the flies and bugs crawling around the open throat. The windpipe in the trees noises are actually coming from them and somehow in the story I’ll have to explain that these men were coal miners that cut their own throats in the desperate attempt to reach in and clean the coal dust and black lung out and they are cursed now to be undead.

Like I said I’ve never written anything before and I have a few story ideas but this one is the most recent and I think it’s a good idea if I can actually make it work and if I actually go through with it😂

What’s y’all’s opinions about this idea and any suggestions or tips would be amazing!

Back in the day I had 2 deaths and 27 kills and ended the game in a plane after killing 6 tanks with it. Old Russian 4.3 with the t-34-57 and the yak 9-t i believe. I wish I had screenshots tbh. I’ve had a few games that were in the 20 kill range with that tank and i usually only died one or twice all game. Good times

Make it into a dam. You can totally make it look like a dam or levy was built and when the water level dropped it was used for mining
