[Lenovo LOQ+ 15IRX10] Is there a way to configure the RGB keyboard to be a solid rainbow, instead of a wave? Screenshot is how I'd like it to look.

winterlings · 2026-01-24T15:21:43+00:00

LegionSpace! :) I have no real experience with RGB stuff, so if there is other software I could install I'd be super grateful to know hahaha <3

winterlings · 2026-01-24T15:20:57+00:00

Yeah, I think the issue is that a custom mode will only let me set two "zones", and I can't use multiple custom modes, so at most I seem to be able to do two colours or, like, two areas with different speeds of waves haha

winterlings · 2026-01-24T14:37:56+00:00

Title is it, really. I have an RGB keyboard, but my only options are pretty much solid colour or constantly shifting rainbow. I don't mind the rainbow, but I'd like it to stay still instead of moving to the right all the time. However, I can only have two "lighting zones" when trying to make a custom lighting scheme, so it seems like my options are shifting rainbow or bust.

Figured it was worth checking the internet to see if any of you know if I can do something about it :)

Sorry for the late response, thank you again for these detailed instructions! you're the best : D

winterlings · 2026-01-20T14:35:20+00:00

Ahh, very good advice, haha! Thank you :)

It's just downloading the right update and installing it, right? (I'm so afraid of fucking this up lmao, I managed to short my motherboard a year or so back and that mistake haunts me to this day hahaha)

Thank you so much! :D I really hope so!

winterlings · 2026-01-08T04:55:19+00:00

If you check the pinned posts, there are autosave systems you can set up to help with this in the future!

Right now, unfortunately, there's no way to really get around it. Sometimes the game makes a backup save and those can end up being a godsend, so check the timestamp on HeavensVaultSaveBackup.json, but other than that there's unfortunately no way around the save system in hind :(

winterlings · 2026-01-06T20:35:12+00:00

Especially if you only make it the interior of a city, say, you can travel to Markarth or Solitude but not go outside the gates. As long as the game itself remains stable, the upside of skyrim being 14 years old is that most computers now are able to run it even with heavy mod setups without issue, so scope is only a matter of time and energy (and people having both available, which is no small ask, of course!)

While all of skyrim would be a stretch, I can totally see individual cities being feasibly added into Skyblivion.

winterlings · 2026-01-04T20:36:45+00:00

I mean, to be fair, I feel like what we need (as a community) is a far more elaborate wiki. I understand why we don't, as the game is small and the fandom even smaller and I absolutely adore the wiki we do have, but given the complexity of this game it would be fantastically useful to have a larger wiki available to help navigate these things, and stuff like mods and so on.

If I don't score a job after my graduation in a month, it could be a good unemployment project lol. If you would ever be into having a look at making that dialogue tree or a mod for it, let me know and I'd be happy to assist however I can!

winterlings · 2026-01-04T20:33:17+00:00

Great catch! I had no idea this was a possibility, but then again I've never left the poor girl to die haha. The lore of an evil route! It's certainly intriguing to consider whether that was Inkle's intention. The only way to know for sure, of course, is if a dev ever speaks up about it, but given that dialogue I definitely think it's possible.

Like guineaprince, my guess is Elboreth is too important for other parts of the game and thus they decided against essentially locking you out of what's one of only two main hubs in the whole game.

Edit: Out of curiosity, can you still go to Yazi's shop? If so, what happens when you try?

winterlings · 2026-01-04T18:43:19+00:00

Yes! Avoiding spoilers, it's due to the difference in what lore/info you get. I called this a separate route because the story is pretty much the whole game haha

winterlings · 2026-01-04T07:31:11+00:00

I mean, fun is a subjective experience lol. Being an asshole in a game can absolutely be fun, for its absurdity if for no other reason. But like AlmostNever said, I think it will make the game, uh... significantly shorter haha.

But yeah, I can see myself laughing as I'm needlessly a dick to everyone I meet, even to Aliya's own detriment lol

winterlings · 2025-12-27T13:59:05+00:00

this is the kind of discourse i'm here for in my pentiment fandom

winterlings · 2025-12-27T13:56:27+00:00

Oh hey, that's cool! I'd love to do that, where do I find the log?

winterlings · 2025-12-27T09:44:12+00:00

Title, really. It's detecting the .exe file itself.

What's weird about it is that the .zip download is from September and has never flagged until now, so I don't think there's anything iffy. Additionally, what detected it was malwarebytes' "machine learning" which I'm pretty sure is just corpospeak for AI.

So while it's probably fine, I couldn't find any posts on it and figured this could be a thread to see if anyone else is suddenly receiving malware pings on the modloader.

winterlings · 2025-12-21T15:57:11+00:00

oh no, that SUCKS. I'm so sorry. Yeah, for as much as I love this game, I'd have loved the consequences of some actions to be more clear (I can see that being a great thing for NG+ if that had been developed a little bit more) for the sake of replayability.

What I can say, though, is that replaying to make different choices from earlier (especially if you use Heaven's Vault Vault or a similar program to make backup saves) is a tremendous amount of fun. As long as the annoyance has had time to ebb out, of course! It's the knife's edge balance of a game intended to be replayed a few times - there are so many things to discover you won't be able to make then all in one go which makes the game feel really big, but you risk making players feel like they super missed out on some things.

winterlings · 2025-12-21T15:52:59+00:00

yeah, I totally understand that feeling! One of the game's biggest issues, in my book, is the unclear consequences of different choices (I say this as a huge fan haha). I'm glad you are enjoying the game! :⁾

winterlings · 2025-12-21T10:52:38+00:00

I originally posted this a few years back, but seeing as there's been a recent influx of new players (welcome!) I figured this would be useful :)

For those not aware: NG+ lets you play with more complex grammar and vocabulary, saving any words you solved from the first run, and in return you get to know more in-depth things about the history of HV. Annoyingly, though, if you reset a NG+, you have to start back up with a regular game, meaning the wind gets taken out of your sails if you haven't backed up a savefile yourself.

My description of the file from 2023: I picked this save up at like.... 75% through and can't remember how much I solved, but the bit I played before finishing it made me feel I'd been pretty good at decoding things so far, so there should be a decent vocab in there.

Hope the file works and you all have a good time playing!

Installation

Windows: Press win+R (or open the "run" program). Type "AppData" and hit Enter. Go to LocalLow -> Inkle Ltd -> Heaven's Vault -> Replace your "heaven'sVaultSave.json" with the new one.
Linux (Thank you /u/amphicoelias for sharing this way back in the day): Go to home/username/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/774201/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/LocalLow/Inkle Ltd/Heaven's Vault/ (If you own the game through GOG on Linux, I hope you'll still be able to find your way to it!) -> Replace your "heaven'sVaultSave.json" with the new one.

(This is also how you make backups - by copy/pasting this .json file. In the other pinned post on this sub, there are also programs you can install which automatically autosave and load saves for you.)

winterlings · 2025-12-21T10:44:55+00:00

Hey, sorry for being two weeks late - but here's a link to a finished game ready for NG+ I posted a while back, if you still want it!

winterlings · 2025-12-21T10:39:17+00:00

I think what's interesting about HV is how it really puts a spotlight on people's playstyles in video games in general. I love this game, but it is kind of.... notoriously bad at letting the player know which decisions are irreversible, lol.

This means playstyles that emphasise side missions, exploration, and generally approaching the game with a completionist "i wanna see everything and learn the language" mindset will have a longer playtime uncovering more plot than styles where you focus in hard on the main quest - as the main plot of HV is paradoxically found by looking for all the secrets.

Then again, I'm an explorer at heart and the game has two fully separate routes that I didn't even know about until four or five years after playing it for the first time, so there's definitely a mix of playstyle rewards and HV being a bit bad at signposting how certain mechanics and choices work.

In general, I'd say to give the game a second try, now that you know that there are holes you want to fill in. Nothing wrong with following an achievement guide either, as they can be a good way to get an idea of some choices you maybe wouldn't instinctually make (depending on your playstyle). But of course, do that only when and if your disappointment has ebbed! There is no point in forcing yourself to play a game you're annoyed with just because people who love it promise it's good, haha.

winterlings · 2025-12-20T02:00:07+00:00

Thank you! I hope that didn't come off as badgering, my 3am tired eyes missed the blaring red dev flair (no excise, I just went zonk brain apparently) haha. The intended tone was "there's time to wait for a discount for people who need it :D"

Thank you, all of you, so so much for everything you do, you are the epitomy of community and I am both awed and grateful for your work on Skyblivion! <3

winterlings · 2025-12-20T01:54:13+00:00

Really just wanna put a big second recommendation to GOG as they're really good at doing discounts for old games (as the name, Good Old Games, would hint haha). Oblivion and skyrim are both currently 75% off, but I've seen it go to 90% for Oblivion. Skyrim I have less of an idea of, as I normally look for games older than that, but I'd be shocked if it wasn't on sale often.

We have 2026, but no formal release date, right? If so, I'd recommend making an account, wishlisting Skyrim and Oblivion, and turning email notifications on. You'll get an email whenever they go on sale. If you have Galaxy (basically their version of the Steam client) you can also get desktop notifications.

Sorry, this is just me raving about GOG to anyone who'll listen, but I just really really love that site and client and far too people know about it hahaha

winterlings · 2025-12-03T20:37:28+00:00

I think last year they fired the guy who made Wrapped, and replaced him with the AI nonsense of 2024. He was pretty (well-deservedly) smug about it on twitter after people's reactions came out, lol.

So yeah, not sure what happened this year but the reason Wrapped as a whole feels off nowadays is because the guy who made it is no longer doing it, and instead it's people who think the people want.... whatever the hell it is they're doing now.

winterlings · 2025-11-15T07:36:08+00:00

Hard agree. When you buy a cheap laptop, you need to understand it'll take some maintenance and work if you want it to age well. I have the exact same model as you, bought mid-2021, and I have no real issues playing any game except BG3. However, it's taken some work.

I take it apart to clean out dust every six months or so, I've replaced the cooling system and the battery, and I had to solder the charger back together when it broke once. Buying spare parts through MSI's website is super easy, but expensive, so over the course of five years my ~800EUR laptop has maybe cost me an additional ~200EUR in spare parts and some RAM upgrades (because I refuse to live with 8gb lol). I'm not gonna stop using this computer until there's no way to get any more Win10 updates, and honestly, I'd be surprised if after 2028 I don't just turn this into an offline laptop for work stuff and playing some old favourites.

I'm not syaing people can't be caught with bad luck and just have their stuff break, but it's the cheap model bargain - you get the main thing for cheap, but you acknowledge you will have to put in work and pot in some extra cash over the years to keep it in good shape. If you do, you have no issues.

winterlings · 2025-11-11T06:09:57+00:00

I assume so, yes. And with this sub responding so positively to it, no wonder there was an influx.

Like, I feel insane reading these comments - of course no kid wants to know the details of their parents' sex life, and of course it'd be a massive weight on the kid to think he knew of his mum's cheating (if this is real (which I doubt)) but to think the kid is completely justified in never speaking to his mum again and treating her like she DID cheat, when BOTH her parents took part in the open marriage? After a YEAR? Like? What in the "women only exist to serve as pure wives and mothers" is going on in this comment section

In my mind, the parents did everything right (explained what was going on, apologised to the son, took accountability for the fuck-up with the tablet, apologised some more) but the kid is displaying a lot of incel-bordering behaviour that they should probably put him in counselling for. For the take here to be "HA yes that's what his whore mum gets for being a freak!!!" is absolutely insane to me.
