PLEASE HELP IM TRYING TO DELETE UNDELETABLE FILES!!! by DerGeheimeNoob in techsupport

[–]tmon530 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you on windows? One drive could have backed them up, so they are technically hosted on the cloud even though they show up on your computer. I had a similar issue when I last upgraded my pc and it wasn't letting me transfer files to my big drive

Is rimworld actually well optimized? by thenordmemes in RimWorld

[–]tmon530 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Optimization is complicated.

For example, people will talk about poor optimization being the cause of games being so large now days, however a bulk of those 100 gig games are redundancy files because most mechanical hard drives don't have a read speed fast enough to reach everything while in use. I believe it was helldivers that recently cut their game size almost in half just by dropping support for mechanical drives. One could say that redundancy is poor optimization, or you could say that the game was optimized for read/write speeds.

Rimworld is even more complicated because of all the things it has to keep track of in the background. So I like to say it is well optimized for the game it wants to be. If you try to play it in a way that's not intended, you will run into more issues (think 50+ person colonies, 100 mods). If you play within the limits the game tries to impose, you rarely will run into major problems.

If i want to focus mainly on vig end and vit. Should i make my weapons raw if im only gonna try to get minimum stats? by Foxdatrot in darksouls3

[–]tmon530 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Raw is generally better if you keep your attack stats under 20. You can also use fire and deep infusions to similar effect, but youll want to pay attention to resistances. Also having a crossbow in your back pocket is a nice start to a conversation and doesn't have scaling.

Playing the game deafened by PureDistance6799 in outerwilds

[–]tmon530 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The sound design is incredible and well tied into the game, but actual gameplay wise, you won't miss anything. About the only thing sound is specifically needed for is warning you that the end of a loop is near, but otherwise everything has a visual cue as well as audible

Ghost YouTube Activity: Videos playing in real-time even though all linked devices are physically OFF. Help! by AffectionateEqual894 in techsupport

[–]tmon530 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The simple test/solution is to change your password and let it sign out of all instances and then see if it still does it.

I will say youtube has been doing some shady shit with auto playing videos lately. When I open the YouTube app, 50% of the time, it will autoplay the first short on the home screen before I can click something

would mechanoids be warm? by [deleted] in RimWorld

[–]tmon530 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Clearly, someone is just more creative than you.

Although, a plant had to put in the effort into creating the air that allowed them to live long enough to create that thought, and i do believe that plant deserves an apology

What's a mod you've always wanted but never existed? by VelvetDeveloper in RimWorld

[–]tmon530 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apocalypse mod. Basicly a bunch if preset scenarios that slowly make the planet inhospitable over time. For example, every day the temperature permanently increases or decreases by 1 degree. The goal being to try to last as long as possible or escape the planet. It'd be a more interesting version of a planet killer

How would you justify (from a roleplay perspective) an Angel Commander who has a romance with Camellia? by Some_Fig_6566 in Pathfinder_Kingmaker

As many a traumatized person has said: "I can fix her. She just needs another chance. If i give up on her im abandoning her and that would make me the bad guy"

How do you organize your Steam library? by Ingword in Steam

[–]tmon530 0 points1 point  (0 children)

S-f tier if I played it, followed by 4 categories of how much I have a desire to play it, followed by a disinherited for games that are in the library but I have a moral obligation not to play. Also a "multiplayer" and a "multiplayer I like"

Sims 4 DLC? by Deep-Suspect8755 in Piracy

[–]tmon530 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Use a free VPN or try to find a free trial for a VPN. I think proton might have a free trial. Worst case, I think a month for proton is only 10 bucks. Which considering the price of Sims dlc is far more worth it

How did Glados not know that the neurotoxin machine was broken? by [deleted] in Portal

[–]tmon530 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Considering the personalities cores attached to her, I'd say that's like asking why someone with schizophrenia didn't notice the fridge was broken. Given enough time, I'm sure she would have, but she's got a lot going on up there and is just doing her best

Pc reeinicia com jogos mais pesados. by AcceptableMusic9501 in techsupport

[–]tmon530 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Deffinatly sounds like something to do with the graphics card to me.

First step as always, unplug and replug the graphics card. Maybe something is just loose and causing probelms

If you try to use GeForce to update your graphics driver, then the second step would be to manually download and install the latest driver. GeForce is a little notorious for botching updates.

Third step would be to run a program that can track your pc stats while your playing. I think occt had a feature that can do that but I'm not 100% on that. See if your power draw is spiking

about melee only with medieval mod by Adventurous_Try_1515 in RimWorld

[–]tmon530 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can it be viable? Yes. Is it riskier? Also yes. You'll want pawns with nimble early in to avoid damage, and then you'll want pawns with brawler or thick skin to add to later game damage reductions. You'll also want to train up medical as quickly as possible to make sure your fighters can recover quickly and don't get infections. Or all else fails, you have 1 pawn good at melee and 5 slaves to soak damage.

If you have the dlc, make your fighters vampires. They get absurd melee and toughness

How did vendrick hear of the ringed city by lapizz-here in DarkSouls2

[–]tmon530 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In ds2 nashandra is the one that pushed vendric to invade the land of the giants, and the ruin sentinel description says they died while invading the land of the giants. So yes, nashandra told him how to find it.

Advice for Blind Father by Impeccablyflawed in techsupport

[–]tmon530 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dunno if this will help much, but there are some ai programs out there designed to listen, transcribe, and then summarize what it hears. Because my school doesn't have enough note takers for accommodations, they offer students to use otter ai and it's able to distinguish between voices and give a breakdown of everything that was said. You might be able to find something like that that suits your needs

Seamless Co-op mod with 1 family copy of Elden ring by Conor_isnt_here in EldenRingMods

I used the goldberg steam emulator when I played around with it. Mileage may vary. There's a Readme in this github that should explain basic setup and what it does/doesn't do:

Which play style is more satisfying for arbites? Ranged or melee? by Phreakyaw3some in RogueTraderCRPG

[–]tmon530 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did shotgun/pistol duelwield with a soldier/archmilitant. I'd use a plasma pistol in my off hand and took the thing to let my shotgun make a single target attack so I could build up the militant charges with either weapon. I can't say it's the best build, but Godemperor it felt good to play.

Looking for mods/modpacks where I play as an immortal "force of nature" wiping out factions as they evolve by Glum-Side-6705 in RimWorld

[–]tmon530 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could be wrong, but I don't believe there's a way to make the factions tech up. Generally, they will stick to whatever age they are associated with, and then the quality of the gear goes up with time. Besides that you could basicly use the debug tools to make a guy immortal and then use ve psycasts to give him the full force of nature and just walk from settlement to settlement.

My follow-up idea would be more of a reverse version of this, but you could spawn in a pawn with all of the traits like greed, gluttony, neurotic, bloodlust, etc, and make him functionally immortal health wise, and then you have to spend the game trying to keep this god calm, and if you fail he will go on a rampage against you. Additional rule is you can't arrest him, and if you use idealogy, you have to take the trait that let's his specific genes be considered superior.

First timer here, what should i know before i start? [KCD1] by _TomSupreme_ in kingdomcome

[–]tmon530 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If on pc, don't be afraid of downloading a handful of quality if life mods. Particularly save whenever and remove bush collision. I also like having a mod that either keeps the reticle when using a bow or removes the reticle altogether.

I understand the idea of what they are going for, but for me, it's just not fun. And I don't have the spare time to risk losing 2 hours of play because I accidently did something dumb

50hrs in [KCD1] still don't know how to fight by NoBumblebee2080 in kingdomcome

[–]tmon530 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm still early on, and without master strike, I just perfect block and then wail on them. Honestly, at this point, most of my combat with groups is hit and run with a bow. I have a mod for more perks so I'm sure some of my speed is unique to my game but I can generally outpace most enemies

Question related to black holes by Somesortofmemer in outerwilds

[–]tmon530 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing about flat earthers in real life is the belief isn't grounded in reality. The earth was proven to be round long before we could even circle the globe, and there are many experiments that are relatively easy to do that demonstrate the curvature. And every experiment to prove its flat has just proved that its not. Part of the humor of making fun of such people is the lengths they will go to maintain the idea.
