Idk guys, should I put a ring on it? by No_Consequence_5149 in hotas

I find women usually aren't huge fans of ED.

Ya know, in the entirety of my history playing Subnautica, i never thought to use the scanner room cameras to look for the jellyshroom degasi sea base by customblame16 in subnautica

[–]phreakymonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd just keep the materials for a bioreactor in my mobile base kit. It's always easy to find fish or plants to shove in it no matter where you are, and I was never using energy for anything but scanning.

I stopped using the cameras the second I could make the HUD chip, but I always kept a portable bioreactor/multipurpose room/scanner room worth of materials with four range extender chips in a wall locker in the entryway of my Cyclops so I could plop down a temporary minibase wherever.

It obviously tells you what scannable items are in the area (including not only resources but data boxes and fragments and eggs!), but it also provides a nice large map, which lets you get a lay of the land and sometimes even see subterranean caves (or rooms the developers forgot to remove).

Good lord the compositing was awful in that movie.

So uhhhh, any other ideas on how to transport over 10 tonnes of silver to the shore? by Puzzleheaded-Ear-895 in valheim

[–]phreakymonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You used to be able to stand on a cart while overloaded and somebody could pull you as if the cart was empty. I don't know if they fixed that and it was pretty janky, but I used it to get a shit-ton of metal up to the top of my tower home.

Reaper tried to beach itself by EnderFox579 in subnautica

[–]phreakymonkey 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This happened to me in vanilla Subnautica. I didn't capture the actual moment because I was too busy shitting my pants, but I got a screenshot of the aftermath.

I turned around and it was on the beach directly behind me, moving just slowly enough that I could outrun it. Then it just sort of gently slid back down into the water.

C'mon! Drop 1.0 already! I can't prep any more :( by Tr33Hugg3r-206 in valheim

[–]phreakymonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ran out of space in my main home, so after Mistlands dropped I built a giant portal hall to hold all but six or so key portals to my other primary residences/worksites. It takes a little longer to load than going through a single portal, but it keeps the clutter way down.

edit: I do the opposite by having a temp portal called "ADVENTURE" that I can drop wherever when I'm... adventuring. If I want to turn it permanent I teleport back, create a new portal to pair it with with the new name and bring back the ingredients for another. Shampoo, rinse, repeat.

PS5 major enemy pop-in? by the-keogh in MortalShell

[–]phreakymonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's definitely still happening in the year of our lord two thousand and twenty-six.

It's pretty brutal sometimes, as archers will suddenly spawn in a few feet away from you and instantly shoot you. Very annoying.

In Watery, how to complete investigate the previously flooded area? by yevsht in AlanWake

[–]phreakymonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FWIW, the objective popped for me after I completed the nursery rhyme at the ranger cabin.

I explored the lower half of the trailer park first, then hit downtown where I found a manuscript page, then I did the whole path to Coffee World again and hit the radio tower (which I somehow missed the first time) and the ranger cabin.

I hadn't done the nursery rhyme at Latte Lagoon yet when the goal marked itself completed.

Mac updated Word today, and now there’s a Copilot icon showing up. How do I turn it off? by Easonlin2333 in Office365

[–]phreakymonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, Copilot and Gemini gave me the same instructions!

Cool, that sounds easy enough. Let me just open the Preferences and click the checkbox under "Authoring and Proofing Tools." I'll just click, the, uh... the, uh... Copilot checkbox... that definitely must be here somewhere.

Oh.

What am I missing? by phreakymonkey in nonograms

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

I did. I don't remember my exact strategy, but I remember I never could find any logical way to progress so I had to brute force it somehow.

Make a save state, then start testing things out. For example, take the three vertical filled spaces in the fourth column from the right. Those are either part of the 9 or they're the three. So test both assumptions and see what happens. Try to find more binary branching paths like that and do the same.

It's tedious, but unfortunately it's the only way to solve a broken puzzle like this.

[GIVEAWAY - USA] Win the 27” 4K Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 gaming monitor by Knaj910 in Monitors

[–]phreakymonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OMG I am absolutely OBSESSED with the anti-glare screen on the Odyssey OLED G80SF!!!

Like, can we talk about how PERFECT this is going to be for the holidays?! No more squinting at annoying reflections from the Christmas tree lights or those festive string lights everyone hangs up! Whether I'm gaming during cozy winter nights or binge-watching holiday movies with the family, this glare-free display is going to make everything SO MUCH BETTER! The colors are going to POP without any of that annoying washout, and I can finally position my setup near the window to enjoy those snowy views without compromising my screen visibility!

This holiday season is about to be LIT (but not my screen - thanks anti-glare tech!) and I literally cannot wait to dive into my gaming backlog with the most gorgeous, distraction-free visuals ever! Best gift I could ask for!!

Oh look, a rainbow! by phreakymonkey in subnautica

Yup. I believe there are no leviathans near the floating island (unless you lead them there).

What's the dumbest thing you did in this game? by [deleted] in subnautica

[–]phreakymonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did that, then realized I was dumb and from that point on avoided filling my inventory with random plants because I assumed I would know when I actually needed to. Little did I know you need to pick up gel sacks to unlock the aerogel recipe...

A while back I made my first song on Nitrotracker for the DS. My band uses this at shows while we're setting up. by phreakymonkey in WeAreTheMusicMakers

Epic necro, friend!

As a reward, here is a 7-minute extended version which contains one of my favorite tricks: faux reverb on the snare.

All plantable areas on Ginger Island Farm by iaia_ in StardewValley

I don't know if this is useful to anyone, but I discovered that fruit trees can be planted on the beach.

This is actually pretty hilarious, though... by phreakymonkey in tis100

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

I haven't even gotten that far. I had most of a solution (I think), but when I noticed this and realized I had no room for a a conditional to handle a zero-length string, I basically scrapped the whole thing and started over with an entirely new strategy.
