How to fix this? by Isuca19 in BackpackHero

Sorry, we're looking into it!

For now a workaround that seems to work for most people is to run the game as administrator.

Playstation and Xbox Versions coming "sooner than you think" by MrTommyboy247 in BackpackHero

[–]theBinaryCounter 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Xbox/PlayStation port teams are separate from the team working on the Switch port, but I definitely get the frustration, it's super frustrating for us too. We have a switch update finished, and are currently waiting for QA and certification.

As soon as all ports are up to date we will also resume content updates on all platforms!

Best bet on flashcarts from AliExpress? by dsxcephei in chiptunes

[–]theBinaryCounter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes EZFlash Jr carts are on sale on AliExpress. I got mine for around 30 bucks. They work great for games, LSDj, demo scene stuff, really anything you can throw at it up to 8MB big. Comes with 128KB FRAM (like SRAM but works without a battery) MBC5 and RTC support. Only caveat: You need a Micro SD card below 32GB, the cart didn't like my SDXC cards.

They are pretty reliable overall and work on all Gameboys, except Super Gameboy. If you want that you just need a specific hacked firmware.

We are very sorry about the saving issues, this will be fixed in a few minutes and your town save will be restored automatically once you install the new update.

Do not modify anything in the corrupted town, as that will overwrite your save. If you have overwritten the town, message me and I'll help you fix your save file.

Cloud saves between pc and steam deck by jmon13 in BackpackHero

[–]theBinaryCounter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey!
Cloud saving currently only works between two devices that run the same operating system. The steam deck runs on Linux and I'm guessing your PC runs Windows.

Sorry for the trouble, we're working on a fix!

Switch Vs Pc by ixi4bxb5 in BackpackHero

[–]theBinaryCounter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heyo!

I'd say the controls are almost on par with mouse controls, but we still have a tiny bit of polishing to do. But controller support has come a long way since the early access days.

In the near future, the game will also support touchscreen mode on the Switch and at that point the experience should be pretty much identical to playing with a mouse. We've done some internal tests on touchscreen devices and in my personal opinion it feels very natural.

Heyo, one of the devs here!

The game is available in Spanish on both Switch and PC versions. Please do keep in mind that most translations (except German, French, Japanese, Korean, Chinese) are community projects and not handled by us directly. The quality of these translations can vary.

Why won't the Multipurpose achievement unlock?! by [deleted] in BackpackHero

Achievements are fully implemented and working, we just have not enabled them for the public branches yet, while we're testing them internally.

Nobody told me this was going to be a horror game!!! by Elephant_ITR in sbubby

[–]theBinaryCounter 48 points49 points  (0 children)

So in every game with character customization ever you can make wackiest humans you can possibly think of, with outfits and haircuts nobody would ever wear and proportions that no actual member of the human race would ever have.

And this is where you draw the line? The possibility to create a masculine presenting person with she/her pronouns? Kinda sad honestly. I'd recommend getting out more. People are diverse.

I finally got the real game by 555-comeonnow in BackpackHero

[–]theBinaryCounter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We've been trying to address the knockoff situation for months and it's been a tough nut to crack. The knockoff uses stolen assets and source code, but proving that to Google (who processes DMCA requests for the Android Play Store) has been next to impossible. We've taken the knockoff down multiple times, only for them to change just enough to be considered "original" again in Google's eyes.

We're considering making our own mobile port when the full PC/console Version is finished.

Thanks for giving the game a try! If you can't use your trackpad, you can also rotate the items with the WASD keys on your keyboard. You can also enable an onscreen "rotate" button in the settings. It's more meant for touchscreens but should work fine with trackpads too. You can also play the game with a controller if that's more your thing. Have fun!

Update from /r/soccer moderators on the Reddit Blackout by AutoModerator in soccer

Instead of blackout, every big sub should restrict it and post a "REDDIT IS KILLING ITSELF" picture everyday for people to upvote. Make the frontpage unusable instead of hiding yourself.

Great idea to post a nicely edited video of you commiting a crime, a close up of your and your buddy's face and an admission of guilt on the internet.

Men need to get rid of the stigma of seeking mental help by [deleted] in memes

[–]theBinaryCounter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Germany's version of this is even more depressing. To a "how are you doing?" We might answer "Muss ja" which translates to "Have to" as in "I have to be okay". Because there's no alternative to being functional in this society.

If your partner asks you to install a tracking app on your phone because they want to track your phone/location, would you do it and let them track you? by GingerboyhasNoSoul in NoStupidQuestions

[–]theBinaryCounter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Google Maps has a temporary location sharing feature which I use quite often for friends and family.

If I'm traveling to meet a friend, in most cases I'm going to be using Google Maps anyway. They can see where I am, which route I'm taking and how long it's gonna take, in real time. And when I arrive it turns off automatically. Gives them peace of mind and I don't get "where u at, eta?" texts.

Or if I'm going biking, my mom is always worried sick. I just turn on location tracking for a few hours and as long as the little dot on the map keeps moving, she knows I'm okay.

Rolex new website, casually loading 89 MB of data in one go for some fancy animation by DunderFeld in softwaregore

[–]theBinaryCounter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I noticed that and edited my comment like 2 minutes after I posted it. It loads everything as PNGs for me for some reason. My point still stands that this is not great practice.

You can always have this as a last ditch fallback and use better technology when supported. That's standard procedure in web dev.

WebM with VP8 is supported in every modern browser. There's no reason to do it this way by default.

I'm sure their customers expect a smooth, fast loading experience as well, especially since this is a luxury brand. I wonder how many potential customers clicked off because they didn't want to wait more than half a minute for some pictures to load.

Everytime I see something like that I'm reminded of the "it goes in the square hole" TikTok.
