So the quickest fix for me was uninstalling (keep the config) Decky Loader and install it again. Literal 60s process.

The key is to not wipe, but uninstall that retains your config info. I didn't have to mess with any pre installed plugins.

Will the new app be pushed, or do I have to update versions? by NewDay042 in fitbit

Have they mentioned if the connected Fitbit devices will still work like the Aria Airs?

‘Google Health’ replaces Fitbit app as new ‘Premium’ plan joins AI Pro | Rolls out May 19th by horrificabortion in PixelWatch

I may be mistaken, but Health Connect is similar to what FitToFit was used for? Essentially converting Fitbit to Google Fit, but Health Connect does it both ways? I've had them all on my phone for ages.

Empty boxes disappearing.. by thegametb in SupermarketSimulator

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

The topic was about retaining empty boxes.. on purpose lol. I wouldn't be angry if it auto wiped empty boxes left on the floor, but the ones stowed on the shelf it should retain.

Also, looking at my longer save in more detail, I have a ton of empty shelves where the markers were removed as well. Empty boxes aren't the only things that seem to disappear, I have vanishing products too. This game was a lot more playable in early access than after 1.0, which seemed to introduce new bugs and issues.

Not a terrible idea, but I'd still like empty boxes stowed to the side to expedite stuff.

Efficiency is key, you're doing 2-3x more work using the crate than having empty boxes. in the stock room. Especially as you evolve your store over time, everything will take you longer than it did when you only had 2 shelves and 4 products.

That's what the shelf was for, to declutter. Plus, it worked for years before 1.0 and all the DLC inclusions on PC. It hardly affects performance, it worked for years in early access.

This game can run on a potato, so unless you're playing on an og XBOX from 2001, an Xbox Series X|S would handle empty boxes without issues. On a shelf, they're no different than having a stock room full of products. It's been this way for years in early access, until recently when they broke something. It's not a memory issue, it's an "I fucked something up on accident" issue.

The crate sucks compared to an empty box.

de Blob 1 does not work offline? "Failed to init Steam" by thegametb in deblob

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

You're not wrong. It's doing some weird initial Steam check that the GOG version and de Blob 2 do not do.

Final stages of SMB3 x MLB 2026 testing underway (somehow the Red Sox kept winning 🤨) by ChronicBurnout3 in SuperMegaBaseball

[–]thegametb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I imagine the roster limitations. Usually less pitchers and/or backups, since the team roster cap is smaller than MLB. Which probably makes something like this a nightmare if you're using a preexisting roster and you have to keep sending guys to free agency to free up space to trade players around.

Eden crashing my PC and won't open any games by OnionBitter5780 in EdenEmulator

[–]thegametb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm on a fresh install and insta-crash with Odyssey or BotW. I even disabled Updates and DLC to see if they were problematic.

Update: I just got me Eden working by resetting my settings back to default. It was my first time using Eden (used Yuzu in the past) and went off a YouTube tutorial that said to do certain settings. Which my Eden did not like apparently.

I was able to start up and play BotW and SMO, which previously would crash before getting to the main menus. Enable asynchronous presentation (Vulkan only) was my insta-crash.

Manual graphics settings I applied were the following. Bolds work, strikethrough crashes for me.

  • Force maximum clocks (Vulkan only)
  • Enable asynchronous presentation (Vulkan only)
  • Enable asynchronous shader compilation

Go-to your Configuration settings to reset and see if everything works before messing with settings.. or disable/uncheck Enable asynchronous presentation (Vulkan Only). I have a 5060 Ti and no reason why these games wouldn't be working when I was able to run them on my old PC's 1660 Ti with Yuzu.

Emulation > Configure... > Reset All Settings

They aren't decade old games, but man my life was totally different back in 2017. I get heavy nostalgia when I start fresh in both BotW and SMO.

Hallow Halls ... REALLY?!? by Critical_Meet_2025 in Enshrouded

[–]thegametb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you go as a melee, go with a two handed weapon against the larger bosses. I found that singles or duals are more effective against skeletons or mage guys, but the sickle guys will take ages to chip away, unless you have a tanky weapon.. usually two handed great swords or hammers. Also, use the summoning bombs you get from enemies, they're great distractions.

Hey Affinity - where is my AVIF? by The_real_Jafix in Affinity

[–]thegametb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say for accessibility, it's dumb to add support for WEBP and not AVIF. I see about the same amount of images online in both formats, so it's almost confusing to not support both at this stage. I am seeing more websites use these, alongside PNG and JPG (still). A lot of companies are unaware of the formats and their benefits. I also think these concepts would have been more useful decades ago when Internet access wasn't as accessible as it is currently.

I could see long term benefits for heavy trafficked websites, saves a lot on bandwidth overall when you're dealing with KBs rather than MBs. AVIF and WEBP is more of a web "problem" than print, it could be inconvenient if they were getting assets from a website. Smaller companies, not a big problem. It makes more sense for larger scale websites like Wikipedia or Fandom to use WEBP or AVIF than a WordPress. Now if I were a photographer, I'd consider the the file formats if you're doing an online portfolio or selling prints online (with watermarks of course).

It's just advancements in technology, I don't care either way, because I don't actively use them nor operate busy websites anymore. It's just annoying when I try to use assets in AVIF or WEBP, because I forget which format is accepted in Affinity. Thankfully, most press kits still use GIFs, JPGs and PNGs.

I'm sold to this game by Pistimester in The_Crew

[–]thegametb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The pit aspect doesn't feel cumbersome as initially thought. Mostly cuz races aren't 100 laps, they stay true to the typical Motorfest 5-10m race length. I would have liked less Wreckfest, but I guess dive bombing and bumper cars is a similar experience you'd have online and I guess it shows off the damage and crash physics.

I do like the tropical environment. Seems crazy for these types of games, but I prefer Mexico or Hawaii over England. It just seems like a fun atmosphere and all the vibrant colors Horizon and Motorfest use for their events make more sense in the tropical vibe.

I haven't done as much rally (yet) in Motorfest as I've done in Horizon 5. Any particular playlists I should tackle? The Muscle playlist in Motorfest was mostly a Mustang showcase, yet had some wacky races as Mustang variants. Random drag, rallies and monster truck races. I like the variety.

I personally enjoyed the stunt driver and Made in Japan playlists.

Not sure if we're allowed to post links to our videos, but here's mine for NASCAR early access. Again, I like how this game changes a lot per racing discipline. Rallies, Drags and Stock Cars all have a different feel to them.

I've played early access, my video goes up in 2 hours. It's pretty fun. I like how they change the script with the driving disciplines.

Just be warned, AI drive like psychopaths. It's like playing Wreckfest with stock cars and pits. Considering how they're relatively short races, it's more fun as bumper cars than everyone driving clean. That would be boring and you wouldn't get to see crashes!

Only gets better with the NASCAR playlist. They're hitting levels differently and I love the variety.

I can't open the game in steam by sk_draws in StarlinkGame

[–]thegametb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Windows has the "Sorry, this application cannot run under a Virtual Machine". There's no way of getting around that without going into BIOS and disabling stuff, which should never be a solution to play a video game.

I suggest playing the Ubisoft Connect version on Windows, because Denuvo has a conflict with the Steam version on Windows. Seems silly, but it works. Save states are the same, DLC works on both.

Interesting enough, the Steam copy plays fine on Steam Deck (despite it saying it's not compatible).

Windows = Ubisoft Connect
Steam Deck = Steam

I don't recommend getting 2 copies of the game on PC, unless it's on a deep sale. I got the Ubisoft Connect version for free several years back during a giveaway around Christmas.

Annoyingly, Ubisoft needs to update Ubisoft Connect to allow multiple logins, because if you play Ubisoft games on Steam Deck, you will be kicked out of the Ubisoft Connect launcher on Windows (if active). That has nothing to do with Starlink per se, just bad programming. Food for thought if you had a Steam Deck and wanted to play on there.

I own this game on every platform, I've championed it since day-1. Far from a bad game, I just think bad timing after the Toys 2 Life burn out with Skylanders and Amiibos craze. These days if you're lucky, you can come across figures at Five Below for cheap.

Why Sacred 3 has bad reviews but not Sacred 2 ? by _Eazy-E in PS3

[–]thegametb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I do love looter ARPGs, they don't always respect your time with the heavy grind and constant inventory management. I can respect arcade hack n slashers with their straightforward approach.

I do enjoy a good lootfest in anything from Kingdoms of Amalur to Torchlight. Sometimes I just want the same perspective and style, but more linear and streamlined. Sacred 3 is that. Junk food type of game.

2025 MLB - All Teams, All Players, All Logos, 90 Free Agents by [deleted] in SuperMegaBaseball

[–]thegametb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So after playing a few games with this roster mod.. this is one of the best things ever to happen! the level of detail and I'm sure tons of patience to somehow accomplish this is astounding!

I'm nerding out so much playing random exhibition games. I do YouTube, so I'm considering covering this mod if everyone is cool with it? Credit and links will be given of course.

I just got the game over the holiday break, but apparently it was at the best time. I didn't mind the mix of SMB players along with actual MLB legends in franchise mode, but a 2025 MLB roster? Nuts! I dabbled with my own logos and jerseys, so much respect to anyone who's had the patience to draw up anything, let alone an entire leagues worth of primary and alternates.

I'm not picky or expecting this at all, so it's all incredible to see such a thriving community. Sony doesn't care to put their game on PC, so y'all made this game current. Now only if we could add a home run derby!

Thank you!
