deep dish peat moss posted:Also I got stuck playing as the pregen cleric and they were all so bad at the game that literally the only thing I got to do was cast heals every turn never cast heals in 5e unless a character is about to fail their 3rd death save. enemies do damage faster than you can heal, and the action economy much prefers you doing damage or CC instead to reduce the incoming hits

Arsenic Lupin posted:I have one I can mention without spoilers. I hate hate hate branching adventure games that don't let you save before a checkpoint. It adds additional stress to playing: "Can I afford to take this interesting plot path, or would I lose all of my progress so far if I did?" I don't want to play the whole drat first act again because I screwed up a choice fifteen conversations ago. It doesn’t work like that, though—there aren’t any choices that give you an early game over or lock you out of having interesting content in the future. At launch the thread was filled with people’s great experiences and I don’t think any two people made all the same choices. If you are a completion-craving sort then yeah you have to replay the (great) game taking different paths, but there’s no “lose all my progress” risk. You just end up on another, also interesting path.

Sigh, Steam (with no windows open) held a video wake lock all night and kept my OLED from turning off. I guess I’ll get off the beta and see if that helps, but really Steam videos are not so important that they should prevent sleeping, so they should just disable the thing in Chromium that takes wake locks on videos at all.

Yeah, I’m saying that the game doesn’t really have consequences that you should avoid. A big part of the experience, speaking here as an inveterate save-summer, is having to live with the consequences of your decisions and seeing how those effects spread through the community.

Anyone else needing to log in again to make a purchase? I was hoping to use the app for a quicker OLED Deck purchase tomorrow, but both the web site and the app prompt me to log in, and I have to wait for the app to pop a confirmation request—even though I’m using the app and it shows me logged in! Has happened a few times in the last couple of days…

Keychron for sure, I use a K13 for work and it’s also paired to my Deck. Recommend buying their stuff through Amazon because QC issues are not unheard of and their customer service is a bit…frustrating. (I also use a Q10 and Q0 on my personal machine.)

Triarii posted:Speaking of keyboards, I finally got a mechanical keyboard a few months ago after having the "wrong" kind since forever, and I gotta say, I don't really understand the appeal? It feels different, but not really in a way that's better, and my typing has definitely gotten slower and more error-prone. Sounds like you need to change switches and/or keycaps!

Mechanical keyboards can be as quiet as membrane, if you pick quiet switches. And yeah, the Q10’s split “Alice” layout (with dual bs!) is nice. At some point I’ll get around to seriously learning the Moonlander…

RPATDO_LAMD posted:Steam recently removed local currency prices in a ton of regions including Argentina and Turkey. You had to re-set regional prices for them in USD, otherwise they'd all use the default US price which is typically a massive price bump since these were all in poor countries. (I'm not sure why they didn't just do some basic currency conversion math to keep the prices the same as before the change?) They changed LATAM and MENA to be USD (except some Gulf states?) but if those were the only changes you made to pricing then you weren’t locked out. If you also changed any other region’s pricing, then all regions were locked out of sales. I expect that this distinction was not extremely clear in the UI, given…Steam. (This is at least how they described it working in the Steamworks post about the currency changes, and I’m assuming that the implementation matched.)

repiv posted:the answer is probably it was easy until key resellers abused it to do region arbitrage and valve locked it down in response I mean even within the Steam system, not extracting keys. They tell me "these friends want these games" as I browse, but I have to go through the purchase process individually for each one, and it no longer even shows me which friend wants the game I'm buying when I'm selecting a recipient. I would gift a lot more games if it were easier (especially on mobile)

haldolium posted:what does that mean to you? for me it runs at 45fps pretty solidly, and nothing takes more than maybe 5 seconds to pop in (10 for things like the inside of the temple with a lot of characters). I am used to mounting my yakmel outside building while it’s still invisible, I’ll admit I’m on an LED and my wife is having the same experience on her LCD. do you have the TDP tuned down or something? maybe our aftermarket SSDs are materially faster? this is very weird to hear, I would have counted this thing as Playable other than entering names, or maybe even Verified
