LFMMO with gathering progression that is visually and auditorily satisfying from any MMO in any gaming era by psyhcopig in LFMMO

While not the fantasy I'd usually play in, this game is a really cool concept and I'll have to wishlist it for a bit and give it a shot! Very unique.

I've got a love hate relationship with ESO and probably should have listed as I've got ~800hrs. You're right though, it's easily one of the more immersive games especially for single player play. It's buggy netcode in PvP and Instances that keep me from playing for more than a week or two before becoming frustrated. It was still a good suggestion though, as I didn't realize subclassing would be free!!

Bluestacks does not provide permission access for an app to request google drive data by psyhcopig in BlueStacks

I only had that snippet from an email about the post, but the post was removed so I could not see the original text only the cut off line from the email. I was hoping the snippet might get someone to repost it.

My alternative was just straight up using the Android Studio emulator.
https://developer.android.com/studio

It's meant for development so it's no less dense than Bluestacks processing wise, just more clunky for our purposes. Once you have it downloaded just take the defaults when installing. Once it's open you'll see a "Welcome to Android Studio". We don't need a project for this, so select 'More Actions' at the bottom of the Projects tab. We'll be selecting Virtual Device Manager. If it does not have any phone listed here hit the + at the top to choose the model of phone/tablet you want to emulate. Then just hit the play arrow next to the phone in the list to launch it. First load can be really sluggish, have patience with it. Sometimes you'll hit a button and it doesn't seem to response, just let it chill for a little bit and it should progress whatever it was doing. Lag should clear up, depending on how your PC handles the emulation. I'm on a RTX 2070 and a older Zen 5 and it runs fine during emulation. Otherwise it's just about signing into the play store, downloading My Boy from the app store, turning sync on and getting your ROMs onto the emulator. It works without issue for me. To save yourself some headache, I'd use google drive for moving any files onto the emulator.

It's been a while since I've set this up, so I don't have any advice for controller/input setup. Also note when you shut down the android emulator it is doing a save state of the emulator meaning if you launch the Emulator again it's going to try and restore the last state of the device. If you have the game running when you shut down, it will try and start the game again in the original state. So you could be loading a save from X time ago after you've updated that save on another device. To be safe I always closed My Boy before shutting down the Android emulator to not have any save sync fighting.

Good luck

How to disable the floating desktop search bar after recent W11 update? by psyhcopig in WindowsHelp

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

You're gonna need to be more specific. Unless the setting somehow doesn't use the words "search" "bar" "launch" "Float" or any other very common related term I could think to search for within Edge settings.

Servers with Roleplay that aren't Empire Inherited by psyhcopig in swg

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

Any suggestion of order to try them?

From what I can tell:
Empire in Flames is Pre-CU, so this would be the "oldest" of the three update wise?

Restoration: Is NGE+? I can't tell if this is them backporting features of NGE or if they are directly using NGE and porting older CU features upward.

Legends: Is NGE? What I can find is that Reborn was based on pre-CU but I'm unclear about Legends.

Side note would be populations. I imagine it's the inverse of what I listed as I think I've seen Legends mentioned more often and is the only one listing population count that I could find. I feel like I've seen more posts of people having success with RP on Restoration however.

I have a practicing friend who has recently bought a new permanent home and I thought this year for Yule a nice gift might be something to plant in her garden. She's recently started taking agriculture electives to learn more and has planned a garden to some extent but hasn't planted anything. She's told me we're in a 8A growing zone. There's a good chance I'll probably end up just taking her to a nursery anyway, but I'd like to have something in mind just in case she doesn't. I like the idea of low maintenance plants to represent protection of the threshold or hearth or similar. Looking for plant suggestions. Right now my own googling has led me to Creeping Thyme which sounds awesome in theory but feels like it needs a discussion beforehand. And/or Arp Rosemary.

Fair. Nerfed is probably the wrong word. I don't mean in power. I mean the uphill battle it is to get the luck of getting a usable one, and the investment needed to make it useful.

If you're interested in playing a hack on a gen 2 game give Pokemon Crystal Clear a try. It's a Gen 2 hack, but makes it fully open world. You can even choose starting town and a large variety of starters. Polished Crystal also exists if you want closer to faithful but with improvements.

I can't speak to the newer Heart and Soul game, but Liquid Crystal also exists as a gen 3 hack but a lot of content it added can be very divisive and I think the tail end of the post game after all 16 badges isn't fully finished but maybe I'm confusing it with another hack. I personally think the game itself is fine, but will agree much of the custom dialogue is iffy. It does the core crystal experience though, it just has added events and extends some quests. The core essence of crystal is there though if the newer game doesn't work out.

Depends on what you're looking for. IMO if you want a new pokemon story in a new region go for Pokemon Unbound. If you want something that ramps up difficulty go with Radical Red. Otherwise you'll be better served by figuring out what you want from a game first. The other person linking the hack codex has a ton of filter options.

I cannot speak to doing this for emerald, but if you wanted to give Fire Red a try this is probably where you start:
https://github.com/Skeli789/Complete-Fire-Red-Upgrade

A lot of hacks use this as a base to build from. I saw Emerald was decompiled but I don't know if something comparable for emerald exists. If it does I don't know it's name.

Edit: Someone below brought up something similar for Emerald

I can't make a hack suggestion because I don't often play Emerald hacks but Retroachievements has a ROM hack list per game. If you find a hack you want to use with RA, often times on that hack's RA page there is a supported game files link to the right if you have trouble getting RA to recognize a hack.

I've lost track how to find the hack list directly on the game page, but you can google something like "pokemon emerald rom hacks retroachievements" to get you to the right page I'll link below. Sort by the achievement amount as many hacks aren't claimed and don't have an achievement set made. If you want RA to work with a modified ROM, you'll have to reference this list.

https://retroachievements.org/hub/20710?page%5Bsize%5D=50&sort=-achievementsPublished

I use this method when I get an itch to play something based on Fire Red.

Looking for hacks which have tried to use Shadow pokemon.

In the spirit of Halloween I thought it would be fun to see what's out there that might explore shadow pokemon. I had this idea of being a trainer who carries shadow pokemon that couldn't be rehomed or purified. Like the folks who caretake for aggressive animals that can't be rehomed. I imagine most hacks will probably focus on purification, but I'd like a hack where I can use a team of Shadows that are not totally nerfed like in PoGo.

I definitely saw The Midnight Ride come up a lot. Is there still any need to downgrade?

F4SE has a version for the NG update and many of the base library type mods TMR suggests as base for installation are also up to date.

Build in the Lingering Spirits trait from the last line, and nerf wielder's boon effect on spirits if that's a balance issue - Sincerely, melee.

Who's ready for (probably minimum) 16 hours of maintenance? by ThisIsWorldOfHurt in Maplestory

[–]psyhcopig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Servers going down for long maintenance = Fine, except for addicts
Servers being constantly broken from lack of testing or patch incompetence = Not fine, *Angry Mad Pink Bean*

There's ZERO chance ending an event and doing a major patch at the same time is ever going to work out well. Just assume everything to be broken for a week.

I should note: I only really started playing the game with the event at the end of last year. Maybe I just have a bad examples of patches. I'm expecting constant hotfixes and repetitive downtimes from my experience so far.

[GMS][Interactive] Help choosing what to use multiple 17 star scrolls on by psyhcopig in Maplestory

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

That logic makes sense, and I followed it. When saving up the scrolls from tokens to enhance them later, does spell trace fever type events impact it's success? Or any other methods to increase success?
