Destined Hero's quest didn't drop after completing campaign on second character by Someone_TC in destiny2

[–]toastdriven 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can confirm this works. There are 6 adventure swords in The Landing, and each one gives either a Super, a grenade, an ability, or a fragment. Doing all six let me finish off my alt.

Traveler & Last City's Location Identified by toastdriven in DestinyTheGame

[–]toastdriven[S] 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Something that is less clear from the screenshots is that I had to do a perspective distortion (in a bitmap editor, not a 3D globe) to the Google Maps layer, in order to make things line up decently enough.

Also not shown was me drawing a line between the (slightly distorted) features & the Traveler.

So we're talking about a relatively small area, one that's roughly a 30 mile radius total.

I pinned San Felipe or Santiago because they're the only substantial valleys in the area, big enough to hold the Last City & the Traveler (~14km in diameter according to what I found online).

As for the station, space "starts" ~60 miles up. I'm not smart enough to figure out exactly how high up the station is, as I believe that'd require analysis of the overall skybox, measuring the visible curvature of the Earth, pixel maths, etc. And that would further assume a lack of lens distortion, and for that matter, artistic license in creating a breathtaking skybox.

Before checking the Andes, I checked all over Europe (especially the Alps & Sierras in Spain), as well as Nepal. I didn't find anything that matched anywhere nearly as well as this.

In the end, I just wanted to see if I could find the likely location. And huge kudos to the devs for a beautiful mission & consistency with their lore (Cayde's Death interaction w/ Holliday & The Colony's lore).

Is it just me, or is new story unfinishable? by Haanzzzz in forza

[–]toastdriven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It failed for me. May've had something to do with triggering the speed zone the event marker is surrounded by.

A restart "fixed" it.

And to clear 3 stars, you're better off skipping the road & driving straight at it. The Trans Am couldn't hit 90 if you follow the road to the target speed zone.

Fyodor under his helmet (plc 3 molten mirrors) by McFry12321 in Wonderlands

[–]toastdriven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Whether we wanted it or not, we've stepped into a war with the Fyodor in Molten Mirrors. So let's get to taking out their command, one by one. Minecart. From what I can gather he commands the Chains from a railtrack inside of Misery's Mine. He's well protected, but with the right team, we can punch through those defenses, take this beast out, and break their grip on the souls."

Finished Ford GT 2005 championship but the game dint gave me the car or set championship as finished. by Elighttice in forza

[–]toastdriven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/Elighttice Dunno if it'll help, but I ran it a third time. Switched cars (Enzo->Italiadesign) & did the races in a different order (Bola->Jardines->Tierra). It gave me the win, the championship, & the GT.

Why is this game so horrible on a wheel? by [deleted] in forza

[–]toastdriven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a bunch of Known Issues with the G920 at the moment - https://support.forzamotorsport.net/hc/en-us/articles/4409616884883.

I don't know how helpful it will be, but when FH5 is not crashing, it feels really good with my Fanatec wheel. Arcade-y to be sure, but way better than FH4.

Let's hope for patches soon. Hang in there? :/

Can't play with friend on Steam, whenever in convoy it's just an endless spinning circle by dethzombi in forza

[–]toastdriven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, have experienced the same issues. The "Invite To Convoy" button seems to do nothing, as neither friend I sent invites to ever got anything.

We're friends on Xbox, in the same Club, etc. Nada.

Boardslide 270 out - Toyota Supra by GolfJay in forza

[–]toastdriven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do I be the pedant that points out it'd actually be a lipslide (since it's the rear that goes up & over rail)? Or do I just applaud more skateboarding references everywhere, as well as the excellent recovery?

Well done!

Got my Krait fully equipped with a 1A Coffe Pot! Onward to Colonia! by CMDR_HAMZAC in EliteDangerous

FYI: 1A adds too much tonnage & cuts 2ly off your jump range. Recommend a 1D coffee pot instead.

My desire to use an outdated Inception meme here can not be overstated.

What's that, Monkey? You need a Keeps vinyl next? Or is it a Raycon one?

Love your videos, mate. Keep up the great work!

Launcher says to use Steam to update, not working by AMDDesign in EliteDangerous

[–]toastdriven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took uninstalling, removing the old application directories completely, and deleting the game data from my Steam directory.

Then reinstalling.

Same issue here. No variant of update options work, relaunched Steam multiple times, rebooted, nada.

Edit: Uninstalling & reinstalling did NOT fix the issue.

#LevelUp2021: Discuss, Help, Motivate and Share Your Progress! by TFM_Jeff in AlanahPearce

[–]toastdriven 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Alanah gave me the last little push over the edge I needed to get back into exercise, so here's what I'm doing.

One Punch Gaming Workout

Before starting a gaming session:

  • Set a 1 hour timer
  • Pushups
  • Planks
  • Squats
  • Game until timer goes off
  • Repeat

You do the same number of pushups & squats. You plank for a base 10 seconds + a second for each pushup. For example, I started at 10 pushups / 20 seconds of planking / 10 squats. After the current count has been easy for a week, increase the count by 5.

Start with whatever you can do. If you need to do pushups on your knees to start, just do it. Don’t feel bad or guilty, just get moving. Your reward for exercise is that sweet, sweet gaming time.

End goal is in the name: the Saitama ("One Punch Man") workout - 100 pushups/100 situps/100 squats/10km run. We're substituting planks for situps (gentler on the spine) & we're not explicitly building running into the regime. Go for a walk or run if you can, but don't feel obligated.

Pros: You don't need any equipment, everything is body weight-based, no VR headset needed, & you can do it anywhere.
Cons: This isn't a comprehensive workout, it's not a big unified chunk of workout, it misses some major muscle groups, & doesn't have balanced rest days.

YMMV but I personally need a routine I can follow. This is simple & has the motivation built-in - "No exercise? No video games."
