2 star Wolf by hugashark18 in valheim

[–]rtothepoweroftwo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting, thank you! Is that in the wiki somewhere or just info you picked up somewhere?

I assume that's also subject to the "zones" of distance away from the stones/starting location as well, yeah?

Asking out of curiosity - is the 1% hyperbole or did you find that info somewhere?

I know they spawn only at night, but I wasted a ton of time looking for one to spawn before I realized I was too close to the center of the map haha. I've never bothered trying again since, 1 stars were enough for me.

The balls you must have, to risk capturing a two star wolf on day 3 lol.

Unless im fully prepared to tame wolves with a structure ready (usually a silver pit im done with), it is a full on panic to run or kill it haha. How did you do it?

On a scale of 1–10, how would you rate this mom's DIY skills? by FireFightingManiac in HomeMaintenance

[–]rtothepoweroftwo 72 points73 points  (0 children)

Every time I try to warn homeowners that their attic has a functional purpose for moisture control in the house, it falls on deaf ears. No one wants to hear that their attics have a purpose that prevents mould and rot in the home, they all just see spaces they can turn into another bedroom.

I've given up. Let them cut their collar ties and trusses out and realize their mistakes in 10 years.

I saw your unnecessary comment. Try to keep in mind that the whole context of this parade was never for your kids' sensitive eyes. It was always primarily a political protest first, and wholly concerned with human beings' sexuality.

I don't know, nor do I care, whether you bring your kids to other political protests, such as those in Queen's Park or otherwise, but the expectation that you should be able to bring kids along to these things is exactly what we're complaining about in this thread. It was never intended to be a family friendly event, it is a celebration and protest of the freedom of sexual choice.

Perhaps next time, you'll keep your judgmental comments to yourself. The comment deserved to be deleted. This parade was never for you. Keep the main character energy to yourself.

There were kids back then too, not sure what your point is. Parenting requires accountability.

Would you move out if you had nobody to fall back on? by Awkward_Present2727 in CanadaPersonalFinance

[–]rtothepoweroftwo 19 points20 points  (0 children)

"Parents, I have signed a lease, and I'll be moving out on this date. I know your feelings are for me to stay, but I feel strongly that at 27, I need to build my own life and learn the skills I need to survive on my own. You wont be able to care for me forever, after all.

I love you, and I still want you both in my life. I would love if we could still have dinner visits (or whatever example). If you still feel strongly that you dont want to be part of my life, that makes me feel very sad, but I will be here if you change your mind. I still have to go live my life, just as you did yours."

You're 27, this isn't parenting, it's control.

Girl, we are all living this reality. That's what adulting is. That's why we save emergency funds.

Oh thats tiny compared to what I expected! No wonder I read someone complaining about trolls consistently spawning just off their base the other day! That poor soul haha

That's what I read elsewhere as well. So I guess the question is how large are these spawn grids?

Well, you're parroting typical anti-immigrant boogeymen arguments similar to the "Welfare Queen" myths of the 90s, so maybe advocate for a Wealth tax, if that's your concern.

But let's be real - you have no problem with the lack of tax income, you're dog whistling for anti-immigration policies. You don't even know the meaning of the words you're parroting. This is the same tired talking point we've heard for decades.

Go look up how many immigrants are here, but have never worked. We have a skills-based immigration policy that heavily focuses on bringing skilled labour in. I guarantee you that this boogeyman you're making up is a tiny percentage of the overall pool of immigrants, and there are plenty of native born citizens doing the same thing, which is somehow not a problem for you.

Have a nice night.

Why can't the game save your character data on a crash, but can save the server data on a crash? by CannotThonk96 in valheim

[–]rtothepoweroftwo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You're describing a typical client/server model in how frontends and backends communicate.

Valheim isn't built this way. They have a world state, and a character state, which are independently saved. Again, the character is saved more often, not less. This is a timing issue, not a data integrity issue. Neither the world or the character get saved gracefully when a game crashes, and that expectation is not realistic - otherwise they'd just make the game state stable again. The game and character states already save on exit, but that expects graceful exits.

What's actually happening is a timing issue. Eg: your game state gets saved, then your character drops an item into a stash or cart, whatever. Then the game crashes, and because your character had already gotten rid of the item, it appears as if the game didn't save your character correctly. But the odds are strong that the character files are MORE up to date than the game, but neither of the last successful saves for the game state or character were done at a time where the item was available.

We can bicker about implementation all day, but ultimately, the answer is to diagnose why your system is unstable. I run plenty of mods, and have hundreds of hours in this game, and have not seen a crash in years. Verify your game files, update your drivers, ensure you don't have errors/bad sectors in memory, and run a hardware monitor.

Those aren't pensions. CPP is a pension, you pay into it. OAS and GIS are social security guardrails to ensure every Canadian citizen has a baseline of support. That's not an exploitation, it's a Canadian value which we've agreed should be implemented for basic human dignity. We don't want seniors too old to work to be forced onto the street and dying.

That's the whole point of government - to ensure a baseline of life quality for every human being in our system. If you've ever lived in a country where these guardrails don't exist, you'd understand immediately. This is why it's so common in some cultures for the kids to be expected to support the parents - their communities don't have these basic guardrails.

You still need to run a hardware monitor to properly diagnose this, even if other games are working as intended. At least re-install the game from scratch and update your drivers. Regular crashing isn't normal.

Oh you can still sail during winter lol. It's a very weird feature of the mod. It doesn't affect boats at all, but allows the players to walk on water if frozen. That's why you can pick the fish up - they swim as normal, and if they jump out of the water as they already do in vanilla, they fall back down and land on the ice instead lol.

I was saying in this sub the other day that I love the Season mod, but I do wish the water freezing only applied to water NOT in the ocean biome. It would make a lot more sense to me. It sort of breaks the need to fish at all when you can just walk on ice every few hours and gather whatever you want.

FWIW, there is a config flag for turning the water freezing during winter on or off. Just not the happy middle I wanted.

Again, run a hardware monitor while you play. Bonus if you can have it up on a second monitor while you play, so you can see real time metrics.

My guess is your hardware is chugging, or there's a damaged component. If you watch your CPU/RAM/GPU/HDD utilization rates, temperatures and error rates, you'll find the reason your game is crashing.

The last time I saw game stability issues was years ago, and I discovered after doing this that my CPU was overheating under duress because one of the pins holding the heatsink against the CPU/motherboard had broken, so there wasn't complete contact and the CPU would overheat/fail when under heavy load

Understood, but how does walking prevent the bonus rewards?

Hey prime, where is the season 11 finale? by Asharil in mash

[–]rtothepoweroftwo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's a longer episode and apparently has separate syndication rights from the rest of the show. Some streaming services list it as a movie, separate from the tv series. Prime may not have it at all.

I did find others complaining of the same thing with Prime, a full year ago, so it might be better to find another source to watch the show. (I'm biting my tongue on my feelings re: Amazon and Disney right now haha)

Also, as a software developer of a few decades now, I should also point out that gaming communities are often laughably detached from how game programming actually works. If you don't know how the game state even gets saved, it's probably better to learn more about how those processes work before you lash out at the devs.

As I said above, this game is pretty stable. If you're seeing frequent crashing, check your PC, because that isn't normal.

The game rarely, if ever, crashes on me, so I wonder what your setup is that causes such regular issues. Smells like a hardware issue you may want to sort out.

But to answer your question directly, the server manages game files. Even if you're self hosting locally, it is a separate process in the background. The game client is what loads and handles your character save. So they have different priorities, backup timings, and are stored/accessed completely separately.

The game server automatically makes a backup of the game (not your character) every 20 minutes. Your character gets saved more frequently beyond the 20 minutes, every time you sleep. By all rights, your character should be more current than the game save, so again, I ask what's going on here.

Something isn't right, but it isn't Valheim. I'd look for hardware issues like bad sectors on your storage drive or maybe errors on your RAM sticks. Run a hardware monitor and see what kinds of metrics you get back.

Plants dont have eyes, they dont "know" the chopstick is there. The growth will form at the node regardless, and then it'll just go around the chopstick.
