I don't get it. The above commenter said episode 3, as well, and I don't see an edit.
It's spelled coppp-out
I had the same thought. I'll have to try the website while logged in to see what it does.
Actually, no. The API is happily returning a post from a blocked community when I specifically ask for it. It should also return comments when I specifically ask for them. Or not return either. It shouldn't behave two different ways.
It's Brown & Serve sausage and it's fucking delicious. Tell your geezer friends to stop gatekeeping food.
The Lemmy code is so weird sometimes.
I recently blocked asklemmy because I get annoyed by all the stupid hypothetical questions. If I click this link, I can see the post, but I can't see any of the comments.
I don't want that community in my "all" feed, but if I click on an unknown link and can see the post, why can't I also see the comments? Seems like a strange disconnect.
Thing is, even though that's the one thing that would work*, they don't believe that.
* Except you'd start seeing relativistic effects in short order.
On Windows, CapsLock activates the numbers row.
This is not true, and to my knowledge has never been true. Been using Windows since Windows 95.
If I've learned anything from plastic signs on the side of the road, it's "Trump low prices. Kamala high prices."
To be fair, it's a difficult movie to follow because it's so slow and boring.
Ring of Haste is the best ring for ranged classes. I don't know why anyone would say to transmute it. You were right to use it. However, I usually stop at +3. That used to be enough for just over +100% speed, and now it's just under, which is still fine.
I thought people on Lemmy supported free software.
You can't just make a simple list on any site that uses markdown. It removes line breaks. Why? So some nerd can post an 80 character formatted email from a listserve and have it look normal in markdown. It's archaic and stupid.
At any rate, this "feature" makes your list look like a giant paragraph:
Castlevania Castlevania II Simon's Quest Castlevania III Dracula's Curse Super Castlevania IV Castlevania The Adventure Castlevania II Belmont's Revenge Castlevania Bloodlines Kid Dracula
You have to end each line with two spaces to force markdown to preserve the line breaks. Or you have to start each line with an asterisk and a space to make a bulleted list.
I'm going to fix it for you so other people can read it more easily, and also fix some of your typos:
Castlevania Castlevania
Ill Simon
Quest Castlevania
Ill Dracula
Curse Super
Castlevania is Castlevania
The Adventure
Castlevania II: Belmont Revenge's Castlevania Bloodlines Kid
Dracula
That's not comparable. The situations are quite different. Let me explain:
In your example: Windows. It's basically the "default" operating system. Billions of users. Some of those billions are kinda dumb and will type in a command or delete a folder because the Internet said so. Ok, so you ruined the day of some dummy with a practical joke. Not particularly funny, but whatever, it's just some dummy.
In the Linux example, here's how it goes. There's an alternative OS people can try out. People who are fed up with Microsoft. They install Linux for the first time, and what's their first experience? Some practical joke ruins their day. These are the people we want! The good ones. The ones brave enough to try out Linux, and their first experience is a dumb meme that ruins their day, or week, and totally turns them off from the Linux community.
This is not the same as pranking some dumb Windows users.

I did the ascent with a +23 cursed staff with Wondrous Resin
After beating Yog, I curse infused my staff for the ascent. With Wonderous Resin, it was kind of fun. It would only zap random things. Kinda hard to do damage, but once in a while it would smack someone for 95 damage, or ooze everyone. Mostly, I used melee. I got lots and lots of challenge arenas.
One time it zapped corrosion, toxic gas, and corrosion all in a row in the same room versus 6 ghouls. Super effective!
Later on, I planted a sunseed to heal as soon as I ascended some stairs. It didn't take long for an enemy to poke their head into the room, so I zapped him. Randomly got the stasis effect! When it ended, I was fully healed and there were 4 enemies in the room with 3 more just outside. That was a fight for my life! Especially since enemy evasion is so damned high on the ascent.
Oh, and I also got the stasis effect during the final phase of Dwarf King... ☹️
Thankfully, I was using Disintegration on my staff at the time and could hit the King from across the room.
I did another "starting weapon upgrade dump challenge": The Mage. Easy right? Then I fucked it up by cursing my staff.
I had already done runs where every possible upgrade went into a Throwing Stone or Studded Gloves. I wanted to try maxing out the Mage's Staff. Normally I would only ever upgrade it to about +12. At +8 you get the max 10 zaps, and upgrading higher is just for damage.
The trick to get max upgrades was to not upgrade the staff until I met the Troll Blacksmith and I could put two of his upgrades into it before spending any scrolls, but you can actually do better than that.
The Old Wandmaker gave me a +3 Wand of Lightning! Perfect! In all of my hundreds of games, I have literally never used the feature where you imbue a higher level wand into the staff for "free" upgrades. I would always dump the first 7 upgrades I found into the staff to smooth out the early game and kill bosses.
This time I waited until I found the troll on Floor 12 and suffered with a +0 staff until then. That was the only real challenge in this mode of play. Then I had the Troll do one upgrade on the staff before I imbued the +3 wand into it, resulting in a +4 staff. Excellent start! Them I dumped 7 upgrade scrolls into it. Now I was suddenly a beast, one-shotting almost everything.
On floor 24 my staff was +19. Just murdering everything. Elemental Blast with Lightning is really good, BTW. Stuns everything in a radius for a long time. And then I made a critical mistake!
I'm so used to doing these challenges with melee characters that I had the brilliant idea to Curse Infuse my staff. That made it +23! Nice! Time to go fight Yog. I try to zap him and paralytic gas comes out. What have I done!? I had no scrolls of Remove Curse. I had to do the whole fight with melee only. Not gonna lie, a +23 staff hits for a lot. My curse was Flashing, and I had Eye of Newt, so it wasn't even a bad curse.
I decided to try the ascent, and it was tough. The imp didn't have any scrolls either. I had already bought and used them. The enemies during the ascent get so much evasion. I used a lot of healing pots. On floor 2 there was an unused Well of Health, so I uncursed my staff so I could have fun zapping things again on floor 1. I must have killed 40 rats just for fun.
Now I want to try this exact run again, Curse Infusion and all, but with Wonderous Resin! I'll have to find a seed that has the resin and another +3 wand. Actually, I'm not even sure that'd be interesting. It would still only shoot cursed zaps, and they would be neutral at worst. That still means I would get a lot of bubbles, paralytic gas, random teleports, and probably not a lot of damage. I dunno. Worth a try.
Once again I put every possible upgrade into Studded Gloves, and this time I never once took them off and also ascended with the amulet!
Turns out, making it to the Troll Blacksmith with +0 gloves wasn't all that hard. There's always the bow and random wands.
Finished the ascent with one potion of healing left and no food except for a couple of hasty blandfruit which I forgot about all game.
Someone on Discord mentioned how good Aqua Brew is, and damn, it's amazing! I made it twice (16 uses) and ended the game with just a couple left. They have so much utility in so many situations. They're like baby Ethereal Chains sometimes: you can push yourself over 1-tile gaps and push enemies into chasms. Plus they break traps, and put yourself out when on fire.... kind of. I swear in used one right on my head, got pushed away, took several damage, and was still on fire. I had to take a step to put the fire out. They're also really good for putting distance between you and an enemy who's all up in your butt.
I put every possible upgrade into Studded Gloves and beat the game
It's not that hard of a challenge. For one, you still have the bow. Two, the gloves really aren't bad! I was hitting for 20-25 damage, and you get two hits per turn. Also, the Warden is tanky as hell. That barkskin did a lot of work.
Ring of Accuracy so I could punch things better. I got almost every ring this run, and half were +1. I used Accuracy the most.
In order to hit +17, had to wait until I reached the troll blacksmith and spend his favor on two upgrades on the gloves before I could spend any upgrades scrolls. This meant the gloves were useless for most of the first half of the game. So I was using a +1 mace for a long time.
The +3 plate was quite the find.
Spirit Hawk is soooo good! Makes punching Scorpios a breeze due to the crippling and blindness the hawk inflicts. Plus the insane move speed it has. Once in a while I could blind an Evil Eye and avoid getting blasted, but rarely had time to move the hawk away, and it took the blast. Kinda makes the blindness not matter. Just taking aggro was enough for me not to get hit.
Ascended as warrior with every possible upgrade going into a Throwing Stone.
It's a silly challenge I've wanted to win. I tried a couple times before and had no luck. The stone was alright as a weapon. It only gets +1/+2 from upgrades. It was doing 35-40 damage sometimes.
Since you start with 3 stones, the Troll Blacksmith can upgrade once and reforge twice, and with 15 upgrade scrolls in the game, you can have a +18 stone.
The Ring of Evasion was originally Tenacity from the Imp, and one Transmute turned it into Evasion. It did a lot of work! Finding +3 Platemail in a grave was clutch, too.
Got the chains super late, but they helped a bit on the ascent where my gloves were doing 0 damage most of the time. I had every artifact except Hourglass and Medalion.
Not pictured here was a +2 Ring of Wealth I found early. It helped tremendously! Mostly for getting extra consumables. Probably turned 3 Transmutes into Recycle for healing pots. Must have drank 25-30 of them during the run. Ended the game with 1 left.
It would be awesome if everyone in this sub would also post the "diverge view" of the images in the comments where you look "through" your phone to see the images.
Diverging my eyes is very easy and painless. Crossing my eyes kinda hurts.
This is probably because I'm nearsighted and don't use my glasses when using my phone and instead hold my phone 20cm from my face. They're already crossed from doing that and crossing them even more is difficult.
Diverging your eyes is how magic eye posters work.
It bugs me when there is an obvious path forward, but a single undiscovered tile (or a trap) causes my character to take a path all the way around the level. Share your ideas for fixes.
Perhaps let players configure some number such that the game will never plot a path for your character longer than that without first getting your confirmation.
"The path you've chosen is longer than N steps, are you sure?"
And then I also feel this needs to be very easily toggleable. Like a persistent UI button. I'd have it on when exploring and off when backtracking, and those two activities are back and forth all game.
Relevant screenshot below. The entire level is explored, and this damn piece of grass sent my character haywire then I trapped at the X. This kind of thing has happened to me on much later levels and messed me up good.
In the Depths, I would set this number to something like 2 for safety. I can't count how many times a misstap has gotten me zapped, chased, and then pincer-attacked by some second enemy in the room behind me. But then I'd want to toggle it off to run back to an alchemy pot or whatever.
Sync doesn't properly support Lemmy style markdown.
This was a comment I made on a "sink" post the mods deleted, and I think it's an issue that needs addressing, so I'm pasting it here. The comment I replied to said something like "Superscript and spoilers have always worked fine in Sync".
------
Ironically, that isn't valid Lemmy markdown. Sync should be supporting Lemmy markdown, not Reddit markdown. Here's what your comment looks like on the website:
This issuperscript and you can also dosubscript.
Source:
This is^superscript^ and you can also do~subscript~.
Here's what it should look like:
Instead, you get this:
Personally I don't like Lemmy's syntax for spoilers, but Sync should still support it!
hidden or nsfw stuff
a bunch of spoilers here
Source:
```
hidden or nsfw stuff
a bunch of spoilers here
```
I'm surprised that actually even works in Sync. It didn't used to. However, Sync doesn't show my code block accurately, which is funny as fuck! No app should be editing my code block. Sync is replacing my text with reddit markdown in order for it to display properly. And even when I put that markdown in a code block, it still converts it to reddit style! It also strips out the warning text!
Here is what I actually typed:
And here's what Sync shows:
What a lazy ass way of doing it. It removes an important feature: the warning text, and won't even let me show Sync users how to do a proper spoiler!
Oh, WTF. Sync butchered my comment when editing it! I had to fix it back on desktop.
Sync is not fine. It's full of bugs that the dev is ignoring.
Some of my comments were edited (not by me) and the pictures were broken
Here's an example. I'll escape the markdown so you see the raw text:
:quality(80):no_upscale()/2018585659_8_1_230614_022120-w1920-h1280)
The URL contains unescaped parentheses which are illegal in a markdown link because the link itself must be wrapped in parentheses.
This results in my comments showing no pictures and users only seeing this nonsensical text:
> :quality(80):no_upscale()/2018585659_8_1_230614_022120-w1920-h1280
If I try to escape the parentheses, I get this:
Oh, hey, it's the picture!
Whatever admin or bot is editing people's comments when moving pictures to some other host needs to escape special characters in the URLs.
YouTube hasn't worked in Firefox for me for weeks
EDIT: It's something to do with my VPN and/or EasyTether, but it only happens in Firefox, so I didn't think that could be it. I commented about my findings below: https://lemmy.world/comment/7585497
------
I start a video and it either doesn't load at all of stalls within 5 seconds, never to recover.
I've tried everything:
- Deleting every Mozilla folder in AppData to completely refresh Firefox. (after backing up my profile)
- Flushing DNS cache
- Uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox. (Which made me remember I had a policies.json file in the program folder to permanently lockdown the settings I want. So that wasn't the problem either.)
Even when using no extensions like an ad blockers it still won't play videos. Besides, I'm a Premium subscriber. Once in a while a video will work, but it's so, so rare. And often it'll even stop after a minute.
Meanwhile, it'll work in the DuckDuckGo Browser all the time, which is Chromium based.
What do you think the deal is? It broke rather suddenly a few weeks ago. Do you think it's Mozilla's fault, or Google's?

Missing inbox repies and comments
I was just trying to go thank some people for recommending a mobile game, and I can't find my original comment where I asked for suggestions nor the inbox replies from the two people who recommended the game.
Does that mean that post was deleted? And all the comments and inbox replies go with it? That's kinda sad.
I suppose this isn't really a Lemmy.world issue, and more like a Lemmy issue in general, but I didn't know where else to ask.
