Real VR Fishing Reels In A Steam Release Next Month
  • That’s an incredibly fun game. I had the Oculus Go version, the one for the Quest 2 was different and I bought it again. Now it’s getting on Steam? Maybe I’ll wait for a sale as it’d be the third version I buy, but….

  • Introducing Amuse 2.2 Beta: With Stable Diffusion 3.5 Support and AMD Ryzen™ AI Image Quality Update
  • Those are quite the minimum specifications to run it! Damn! Have they ever heard of “optimization”? Because in 4 minutes, SD 3.5 medium got

    this

    out of my iPhone 13 Pro, running locally… with a total of 6gb of system ram. So I’m going to say that 32 gb AND a RX 7900 are a little laughable (even if much faster no doubt).

  • Help me identify a filament's material
  • You might have some polypropylene there. Really strong material! Won’t stick to shit, temperature resistant, chemical resistant, can bend without breaking… never tried it, personally but it’s interesting stuff.

  • Boat work update.
  • Thanks, I think I get it. There’s a lot of humidity where I live too, so while not at the same scale, the problems are at least relatable. Best of luck with the project, it sounds like a cool but lengthy and complex journey that can really pay off!

  • Boat work update.
  • Oh! The “brassic” guy! I don’t have much help to offer, but I didn’t know that term, had to look it up and found the tv show :D so thank you.

    A tiny bit of potential help: you mention wanting to use desiccant in the boat. I’m obviously not an expert, but it sounds like a bad idea, as the stuff absorbs water… but maybe you mean in small amounts, so that wouldn’t make a difference.

  • Here's the most played Steam Deck games for October 2024
  • If you have other ways to play a game, consider buying it regardless of the rating for the Steam Deck. Sometimes verified games update in a way that makes them way too hardware intensive, others might actually be playable regardless of what they say and the only real way to find out, is to try. For example, I wanted to try it so I setup Steam VR on the Deck, added ALVR, set it to minimum resolution and fps… I mean, Taskmaster VR worked. I had to make the resolution inside Steam VR all the way down, and it keeps a shaky 60 fps (doesn’t bother me, others could get motion sickness) but it was playable. Obviously it was docked, so 100% just curiously as on the other side of the desk there’s my actual gaming computer, but…

  • An OLED Mod For The Original Steam Deck Is Being Made - Steam Deck HQ
  • My understanding is that oleds are a weird beast. Since there’s no backlight, each pixel can be considered a small colored light, if you have a fully black screen, then it’s essentially off and not using any power. However, there are instances where the peak brightness is limited to a small portion of the screen, because blasting the entire thing of full brightness white would pass the power supply capacity…

    That said, let me stress this: it’s my understanding. Not a hard fact, I might be wrong or just basing things on old information.

  • Apex Legends is taking away its support for the Steam Deck and Linux
  • I am convinced that kernel AC is… mostly on games that have a fuckton of cosmetics. Let’s see, who’s against Linux specifically? Destiny, even if it was in Stadia and that was Linux. Fortnite. Ubisoft has it on juuuuuust a select few games, everything else they’re happy to see on every platform.

    They don’t care about cheaters, they’re protecting the micro transactions.

  • Asking the real questions
  • Fair, but neither is the regular kind. Generally speaking, lasagna, tagliatelle: eggs. Spaghetti, fusilli, penne and so on: no eggs.

    Edit: actually, might be worth pointing out that this is in Italy. It’s true that recipes can change wildly in different countries…

  • Asking the real questions
  • Going with no, at least if you require the “pasta” to be the same thing for both, ingredients wise.

    Please notice how the spaghetti have no egg (uovo) in the ingredients, as opposed to the lasagna.

  • Update Notes for October 1, 2024
  • What did you get? For me it was frequently the “1hp tank on fire” glitch that looks like you’re done even before the start. And luckily when I decided to stop playing, it also got stuck before the mvp screen… yeah, not the best patch, quality wise.

    Apparently there’s also a large balance pass we’re going to find out soon, but the key takeaway here is… Widepark tier 3 to 8? Really? I’m not sure if I like that.

    Update Notes for July 23, 2024

    This looks like a substantial update. Lots of tanks getting balance changes (slower reload for the Type 5 heavy, really?), a change of how low tier auto cannons work, ATGM have an indicator that you are too close and also they accelerate faster. Plus new season. 4 hours update downtime.

    I’m grumpy about the Type 5.

    modernarmor.worldoftanks.com Warhammer 40,000: Earn Challenge and Community Event

    Earn glorious Warhammer 40,000 rewards! Premium tanks, Commanders, War Chests, and Commander XP Bonuses are just a sample of what’s waiting.

    Warhammer 40,000: Earn Challenge and Community Event

    That looks convoluted. The part I’m not happy about is how it has a contract style, and while my personal tastes are subjective, what it means is that it tends to bunch all the player base in the same step, so at points “everyone” will be after kills, at others spotting only… thankfully it can be done in coop, as the bots will keep doing their thing regardless.

    Also: pc got Star Trek, when do we get those goodies?

    What's included in the May 21st update to World of Tanks Modern Armor? Before logging in on your console, get the full info here!

    Update Notes for May 21, 2024

    That’s a lot of stuff! They’re changing the UI, a boatload of tanks, a couple of game mechanics for Cold War, fixing bugs… I’m not sure I like some changes, like the French tier 10 arty getting a reload buff (NOT a fan of that specific tank) or German tanks getting better damage but worse reload to compensate. Also worth noting that this will take 4 hours.

    Oh, and they added pretty reflections on PS5/XSX.

    Having said that, I’m asking for a little favor: sometimes the links I post get downvoted, and to be honest I don’t mind, but if something isn’t welcome let me know why! As far as I can tell all I’ve been posting is useful or interesting to know, so I’m not seeing a pattern.

    PATRIOTS - Complete Season Information

    The ISU-130 has plenty downsides, but if you can sneak to the side, the other team will feel it. Also not mentioned in this article is a balance pass in WWII for over 90 tanks, with the details coming Monday. I am always worried when it’s a large balance pass like this…

    I’ll start: a naked guy complaining to his host that there’s less light than advertised.

    GeForce Now on the Quest, just Side Quest the apk

    As per the title, you can just Side Quest the apk, open it, do the login, connect a Bluetooth controller and enjoy. It’s just a big screen, but it’s nice. Also very, very easy to do! I remember when doing this for Stadia it required fiddling a little and, crucially as it was before the support for Bluetooth controllers, Stadia was the only option because the controller was WiFi lol.

    As a bonus you could install a browser (here’s my pick https://vivaldi.com/android/ ) and in the future just download apk with that.

    I think the highlight here, and something that lacks a separate article, is the two weeks of On Track for the Chinese heavy line. Always the best time to grind a line when it’s On Track!

    World of Tanks Modern Armor Prepares Abundance of Japanese-Themed Content for Golden Week

    Neat stuff! The rare GuP Panzer IV H is going to be available again and there’s new commanders related to that. This one holds some sentimental value to me, as the event to earn it (close to the launch of the PS4 version) was what actually got me into the game!

    Personal experience: the STA-2 is very squishy, but a great tank with PMM. The Senshi (together with the black edition) is great because you also get camouflage by default.

    K9 Veterans Day: Challenge and Specials

    Ah, the Rudy… I remember when they announced it, pc had it for some time now, and their dog barked on reload. Ours, was confirmed to not bark. This was before we got custom commander voices. Anyway they got lots of complaints, and they scrambled to get the dog to bark in time for the launch of the bundle! It was a success and probably the basis for all the custom voices we have now, but initially it also started a string of random sound issues. Once we had tanks without engine noise. Another time everyone in the team would know someone on the team had a very specific, unholy loud tank. Fun times.
