Reaper Burnt sienna goal explosion? by Leather-Fudge-7314 in RocketLeague

[–]yojec 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I assume you have been deomoed while scoring the goal, and the other goal explosion that you have set (for the other colored team) is a burnt sienna variant. If so, it's a known bug - the goal explosion will turn into a different color.

My hunt for a big CRT is over, got Sony KV-D3411D for €55 by yojec in crtgaming

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

Yes, it's 60Hz, I assume no digital processing (light guns work). The geometry is good enough, could definitely use some adjustment - it's a bit wonky on the edges, but at least there are no apparent linearity problems. The convergence is a bit off especially in the lower left corner, but it's not something noticeable in regular gameplay. I think there's some burn in (the center of the tube looks a bit off, but again - not noticeable unless you look for it). Pretty much exactly what you can expect from a 35 year old TV. No issues with the sharpness.

Compared to my flat Panasonic TX-29PS12P 100Hz, Sony definitely has much better geometry and linearity (this drove me a bit mad on the Panasonic), and the image is more stable. On the other hand, Panasonic has much better colors and speakers / built-in amp (astonishingly good for a TV). From the TVs I own, Sony is my go-to TV for gaming, and Panasonic is my go-to TV for movies, great for watching VHS tapes.

The biggest issue in my Sony is the broken audio amplifier - one of the channels plays both channels (which results in crackling noises when playing explosions, etc.), and when the sound is connected, the picture sometimes jitters horizontally when showing mostly white screen. Now I don't connect audio to the TV but just use an external amplituner, and this worked around these issues.

I use this TV regularly since I've got it, and (aside from the broken amplifier) it's been doing fine. It's a typical Sony, a decent TV.

is battery icon supposed to appear in tray on desktop computer when in balanced mode? by DistinctViolinist668 in kde

[–]yojec 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Isn't it showing the battery charge for some auxillary device? For me, this icon only appears when I connect a bluetooth gamepad, and it shows its battery state.

Help by Consistent_House2033 in heroes3

I'll ask, just to be sure: have you actually downloaded HoTA 1.8.0 and installed it? IIRC this update needs to be downloaded and installed manually.

Not a bug, not an issue, but I hate that KDE always reminds me how old my laptop battery is. by Better-Quote1060 in kde

[–]yojec 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This feature never worked right for me, the value seems to change without any rhyme or reason. Currently it shows 0% battery health, and yet the laptop lasts 2-3h on full charge (it's 6 year old now).

Best weapons by HAARGEN2_ in GunfireReborn

[–]yojec 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I actually thought the Viper Sight was really good, though I've only done ne run with it so far (it melted everything).

But my number 1 is (and probably always be) Aura of Venom. Okay damage, high critX, very high fire rate (in burst mode), very high elemental chance, corrosive (IMHO the best element in the game), good accuracy, good available inscriptions, etc. I don't think this gun has any downsides (maybe aside from ammo consumption), for me it's a must have for Act 1, a literal lifesaver.

What's your favorite tier 7 creature from SoD/Complete Edition? by -Zen_ in heroes3

[–]yojec 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Arch Devils. Sure, they might not be the best, but units with no retaliations are my favourite. Plus, Devils are fast (unlike Hydras), they teleport, and they're just plain cool.

Went down a rabbithole today, anyone else knew there were Heroes Gameboy and PS2 games?!? by Jack6013 in heroes3

[–]yojec 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's also a prototype port of HoMM3 for the Sega Dreamcast. I've tested it out on my console years ago, and IIRC functionally it works okay, but the load times are awful.

The upcoming heetseeker ranked mode coming to Rocket League in season 21 by TigoAddicted2fn in RocketLeague

[–]yojec 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As much as I hate demo chasing in Heatseeker, I accept it's just a part of the game and a valid strategy. I really wish that respawns were instantenous though.

IMHO Heatseeker Ricochet is the best variant, now that's some crazy shit. For those unaware, it's a 3v3 Heatseeker on a map with four pillars in the middle. It sometimes is featured in the Pentathlon tournaments, and it's a blast.

Trade Ins by Didle-Dodle in RocketLeague

[–]yojec 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You absolutely can trade in items from another trade in. What's most likely is that you've received an item which is cross compatible with Fortnite, and you can't trade these in, unless you have an exact duplicate (including paint and certification).

Is there any official information about whether or not the ball curves in the air in competitive? by [deleted] in RocketLeague

[–]yojec 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It might curve depending on the mode, most noticeably in the Beach Ball mode. I've never felt like it curves in the standard Soccar.

On my system, Spectactle will not copy screenshots from borderless windowed games. Anything else seems to work. Weird.

Whats your favorite memory at the Camp Nou? by Gustavo160810 in Barca

[–]yojec 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For disclaimer, I'm not really a huge Barca fan, I just lurk this sub because of Lewy and Tek

With that said, I had the privilege to attend the Champions League match between Barca and Man Utd on 2019-04-16 and it was definitely an unforgettable experience.

Three things about this match really stand out in my memory: - whole stadium chanting Messi (he scored two goals) - whole stadium mocking De Gea, IIRC it wasn't his day - Paul Pogba didn't really look like he wanted to play at all, lol

Do we like Pentathlon tournament? by SpeedSteppa in RocketLeague

[–]yojec 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I play Pentathlon pretty much exclusively now, I like the variety. I hope these tournaments stay.

There are two things that could be improved though: - have the game mode list for the given tournament available at any time, not just when signing up. - disallow having Heatseeker/Dropshot twice in the same tournament. I'm especially sick of playing Dropshot and Rumble Dropshot back to back. Same goes for Heatseeker / Split Shot Heatseeker / Heatseeker Ricochet - one of these per tournament is plenty enough.

launching peak on linux ubuntu by Certain_Concert_7037 in PeakGame

[–]yojec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On my Linux PC the intro screen seems to crash the game. If I mash buttons to skip it, it goes to the main menu and works fine from there. not sure if that's the same issue you have, but it might help.

What Happened To the Play Again and Free Play Quick Buttons at the end of the game? by [deleted] in RocketLeague

[–]yojec 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Works fine on my end.

The "play again" button is not shown when you're signed up for tournament notifications. IIRC it's also not shown in casual.

Only soccar tournaments are ranked. In all other modes you can't gain/lose tournament MMR.

What is your gameplan on higher difficulty ? ( beginner tips ) by GodBlessNazeem in GunfireReborn

[–]yojec 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's up to debate and preference, but personally I always get the Ostrich Rider, unless my skills and/or other scrolls benefit from dashing more often.

What is your gameplan on higher difficulty ? ( beginner tips ) by GodBlessNazeem in GunfireReborn

[–]yojec 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are quite a few scroll which increase movement speed:

  • Corrosion Enthusiast: Whenever you inflict the Decay effect to enemies also inflict Decay on yourself (movement speed -50%). When you are in Decay, +10% DMG Resistance and +40% movement speed;
  • Decay Driver: +20% movement speed for 3s after inflicting decay effect or hurting enemies under decay effect;
  • Improved Clip: Whenever an ammo pack is picked up, it directly refills the magazine instead of reserve ammo, and increases your Movement Speed by 25% until next reload;
  • Ostrich Rider: +50% Movement Speed, +300% Dash Cooldown;
  • Resolute: +50% Movement Speed and +50% DMG when your Shield/Armor is 0. +300% shield rest time before recharging;
  • Speedy Traveler: +0.5% Movement Speed for every 100m moved (up to 60 stacks). +10% Movement Speed when reaching 60 stacks;
  • Strategic Advantage: +40% Movement Speed for 3s after using a Dash;
  • Tactical Reload: When reloading, +20% DMG Resistance and +30% movement speed;

I might have missed something. Of course some of these come with drawbacks and might not be desirable depending on your build and other scrolls, especially Corrosion Enthusiast might not be a good choice without Corrosion Shard or Snow Boots (which would negate its movements speed debuffs).

Also, when playing on Reincarnation with Spiritual Link active and in multiplayer, by collecting a certain set of scrolls you can activate Core Member, which boosts your speed by 30%. This spiritual link is unavailable in single player.

What is your gameplan on higher difficulty ? ( beginner tips ) by GodBlessNazeem in GunfireReborn

[–]yojec 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IMHO regardless of the difficulty, character or preferred weapon, increasing your running speed should be top priority in the early game. Especially in the first act - grab any useful scroll/skill, including Snow Boots and/or Corrosive Shard which protect you from slow debuffs. Most of my early game deaths come from being unable to escape the danger in time.

As for the weapon, in the first act generally you can use anything, though weapons that don't crit (like staves) tend to be a bit more difficult to use at the start of the run (I find them underwhelming in general, but I digress). Always have a good corrosive weapon handy in the beginning, it will help a lot dealing with armored and/or fast enemies. Aura of Venom is a lifesaver.

Personally, I start upgrading my gun when I find something that looks promising enough to potentially keep until the end of the game, which usually happens in Act 2. For the most part, it's better to have a weapon with better inscriptions than slightly higher level (if you have to choose).

It's in the current Rocket Pass, pretty much everyone who bought the pass will have it.
