Astarion can't talk to Raphael?

In my first playthrough he was able to talk to Raphael outside of the Gauntlet of Shar. This time Raphael just left without ever giving Astarion a chance to ask any questions. So, I reloaded a save, did the whole House of Healing fight again, made sure to have Astarion selected when we approached the Gauntlet, and it auto...

I remember Astarion speaking up at that point even if my Tav was doing the talking. Astarion doesn’t have to be that main talker at that point.

Honestly, I have never played a game as comfortably as with Wii games where you can hold your hands independent of each other wherever you want. The big motions are a myth, it’s enough to waggle the controller with a flick of the wrist because it doesn’t really register motion but force.

I really wish that having independent controller parts had taken off. I could easily rest one hand behind my head while the other lay in my lap. It was awesome.

Sadly my Wii has kicked the bucket by now.

Yeah, the small controllers are what ultimately put me off from buying a Switch. Let’s see what Nintendo does next.

Yeah. It’s a shame that you can’t use VR controllers as normal gamepads. At least the Quest ones can’t be used that way.

And my disabled ass really would use my Quest 1 to play flat games if those fuckers hadn’t pulled Quest 1 support a month before they added laying down mode to all other headsets.

I mean, 2023 had a ton of “wow, this is definitely game of the year” releases one after another. So many that you couldn’t even fit all of them into the category of most gaming shows. And for some inane reason Todd Howard still thought he had a shot.

Starfield mod revives canceled Star Wars Boba Fett 1313 game (www.pcgamesn.com)

For many Star Wars faithful, bringing up the canned Boba Fett 1313 title instantly evokes some painful memories. The game, which was set to start the beloved bounty hunter from the original movie trilogy, was revealed over a decade ago but was canceled quite soon after its reveal, leaving fans of the franchise to wallow and...

To paraphrase Miyamoto: A delayed game is eventually good, a cancelled game is great forever.

People’s obsession with 1313 is bordering on the fanatic.

That’s the moment when a fire enchanted enemy comes in.

Or the regular enemies walk all over the plants…

When I look at what she does before even hitting the AI button I think her artistic interests are not in trouble. But she always liked drawing and painting anyways.

Nah, that’s running on a laptop with the actual AI stuff being rendered on my gaming PC. I think that’s basically what all the AI tools on phones do as well. It’s just some company’s gaming PC.

Yeah. Took me several days to set it up with the AMD card on my gaming rig. I also tried to run it on a Steam Deck but I gave that up. As it says, using the CPU is possible but painfully slow.

Couldn’t you configure the existing panel to do what you want? Add and remove widgets and resize it and you should have what you need.

Now I regret not watching more Vision of Escaflowne.

Well, yeah, look at the noses of modern anime girls. Poor things.

When you want to find something in a different path than your current one you have to supply it as the first argument. When you try to do find -name foo.bar /path it will complain that the path should be the first argument. So it knows what you’re trying to do and instead of doing it it just complaints.

Was the other way around for me. F-stab just makes no sense.

You aren’t following the rules! You’re supposed to nonchalantly get the correct answer and thus discover a new rule that we nowadays know as the Galapagon Principle.

What file format do you store your media in?

Hello! I recently listened to a podcast that talked about how storing media files in .av1 format is very efficient and storage-friendly. I’ve been storing my files in .mkv format, but now I’m considering using Handbrake or a similar service to convert all my video files to .av1 if it’s more compressed than .mkv. So;...

bjoern_tantau,
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

If I get my files already compressed they stay that way. If I rip something like a DVD I will just encode it in whatever is good at the moment. Re-encoding usually only makes sense if you can drastically reduce filesize. If you go from one lossy format to another you will always lose quality. So if that just means slightly smaller files I wouldn’t do it.

Most unique looking celebrities?

I’m working on a side project studying variations in human facial features. It’s been helpful to study celebrity faces because it’s easy to find numerous reference photos. I’ve actually got a fairly good range of weird looking white men, turns out Hollywood is pretty flush with those, but it’s been harder to find...

Tilda Swinton was the first that came to my mind.

On the black side Forest Whittaker has a pretty unique look.
