For me the game still isn't "fine." It's a lot more stable now but even with a completely fresh install and save I'm still running into a lot of the problems that was present during launch like all the civilians looking the same regardless of the setting you're on, NPCs running into each other and then choking up sections of the map. I just keep running into these NPC blobs where they just stand there and do nothing. There's still things they said they fixed like npcs materializing out of nowhere.
An Aeropress, Moka Pot or a Vietnamese Phin Filter are other cheap alternatives to try. But if you're overextracting in a French Press you might be doing something wrong with the brew time and/or the temperature.
It'd also help to know how darkly roasted it is and what type of beans they are.
I've gotten away with even harder to run games on a HDD but even if it is on an SSD, I've found it to be inconsistent plus only BG3 acts up compared to everything else I have going.
The biggest requirement, imo, is probably just having an SSD for the game. There's a LOT of pop ins and textures that just don't load until a few minutes later. It does have a "slow HDD mode" but it hasn't really done much from what I can see.
Come claim your Stickers and Visual Novels.
It's basically 1 whole week dedicated to promoting Visual Novels on Steam! There's a few Indies I've been keeping an eye on:
Scarlet Hollow Sacred Fire Slay the Princess
If you haven't picked these up yet, The Life and Suffering of Sir Brante and The Pillars of the Earth are some pretty good ones to try out!
It's not just Roblox allowing casino sites and running unregulated markets. They allow for porn on their platform and also allowing child predators and child exploitation on their platforms. I'm not sure why parents even allow their kids to go on the platform since Roblox doesn't care about it.
People Makes Games did 2 videos a year ago digging deeper into it.
ARPG community’s a bit active of late, isn’t it? Many new faces are joining us, and some old ones are coming back from retirement. We’re happy to have you. Somehow it feels like Grim Dawn’s best years are still ahead of it! There are rumors abound of a v1.2 coming…of MOAR? It’s all tantalizingly cl...
TLDR: Due to the ongoing popularity, there will be even more updates!
Grim Dawn version v1.2 features
- Option to disable Day-Night Cycle
- Option to disable Fog
- Option to display Cooldown Counters on the quickbar
- Auto-Pick Up Radius can now be increased
- New visual alerts for Legendaries, Monster Infrequents, Double Rares, and Double Rare Monster Infrequents. In addition, Monster Infrequents will be marked by an icon to separate them from standard Rare items.
- New options for monster health bars, including thicker visuals and option to display % values and active debuffs
Past 1.2
-
In addition, we plan on improving certain boss runs in the future, though not in v1.2.0.
-
Drop Rate Changes... all Bosses will have a 100% chance to drop their (non-legendary) Monster Infrequents.
QoL
- Choose your level cap on the difficulty that’s enjoyable to you. Many areas on Normal will scale up to level 100. Elite difficulty will scale up to level 100 in all areas. Loot quality and experience gains will remain higher on higher difficulties, as before, but if playing up to level 100 on a more relaxed difficulty is for you, then we feel there is no reason to stop you.
- Toggled buff effects will be automatically toggled on and no longer need to be on the skill bar.
- You will be able to disable visuals for toggled buffs in the game options to improve visual clarity on your character and to show off all that gear.
- The Nullification mechanic (ex. Arcane heroes) will be overhauled. It will purge all temporary buffs and Disable toggled buffs for 2 seconds. No more fumbling through your skill bars to turn auras back on.
- For the modders out there, the console will log lua errors in custom games. We are also looking into enable certain debug commands for you, such as the debug cursor for locating game coordinates.
- Pets will default to an Aggressive stance rather than the Normal stance. This setting can still be toggled on a pet by pet basis as desired.
- You will be able to select your desired Main Menu theme in the game options.
A modern alternative is Songs of Conquest. It has a pretty active community but it's always good to have more players.
How finicky is installing custom roms on refurbished Samsung phones or android phones in general usually?
I usually avoid refurbished phones even though the flagships offer better performance and value compared to buying the midrange and budget phones but the lack of software updates are something I'm concerned about. That said, if there was a more clear recommended OS to install I'd be willing to give it a try.
It's a great game but there IS a catch that wasn't mentioned.
The devs plan on implementing one of the more intrusive Anti-Cheats (Face It Anti Cheat) which doesn't work on Linux which also stops all Steam Deck users from playing. It also forces you to disable virtualization on windows. I can't recall the last time I had to go into bios to disable an option to turn off important windows features.
According to their stream, it's non-negotiable and will be added regardless of what the community wants. But they did mention that community servers would be able to pick which Anti Cheat they wanted to use?
