This appears to be the first post about it in the Lemmiverse (for this instance), so... here we go!

I tried a bit of Aquaria but couldn't get into it... Thanks for the Gato recommendation. I didn't know it was CS-like.

Oh. It's been literal years so I totally forgot that initialism, but while we're at it, the second "C" in "CrossCode" is also capital.

It's smooth as butter, yeah, but I think I would prefer a game focused on a different character class/weapon. I remember some progression of concepts but I guess didn't really connect the dots (even though I don't think I looked up a guide more than once or twice briefly).

If OoT could be made to look as good as TotK, that'd be something!

Not sure what "VRP" is unless you just mean ricochet puzzles, but mind you, I did play 95% of the game. It felt just too same-y after long enough (it was the plot and environment that had kept me going), and then I just gave up and finished through some YouTuber's play-through and I confirmed that I had apparently quit at the start of the final dungeon, because it just felt like... more of the same timing-&-angling annoyances with no more originality. Zelda was far, far more creative and I think the game just could have done more with items or different weapons, or something, though I know much of it is based on your character being a specific class that was fixed pre-game... It just ultimately wore me down, sadly.

Right: *successor, not "sequel."

Copyright, yes it's a problem and should be fixed.

The quick fix: stick to open-source like Jan.ai.

Long-term solution: make profiting AI companies pay for UBI. How to actually calculate that, though, is anyone's guess...

Hmm... May I watch you stream Vagante sometime? I've been iffy over it for a year or more now because of those reviews. Let me see how you die LOL jk. This is also coming from a SoR fan, too!

Cave Story is undoubtedly the greatest Metroidvania made to date of which I know.

[–] Flagstaff 3 points 3 days ago

Too bad the developer duo basically disappeared... I had an idea for a 2-player sequel but they never responded.

[–] Flagstaff 4 points 3 days ago (5 children)

I really hope the sequel does more with dungeons than just ricochet/geometry puzzles. CrossCode's incessant use of those in dungeon after dungeon was what made me stop playing.

Slice & Dice is the best dice-building roguelite ever and has a free demo that is only content-limited and allows you to already play an infinite amount of runs. I literally played the demo as much as a paid game for a month until I bit down—so hard that, once, when I had my phone in hand and intended to take a shower, I ended up crouching on the bathroom floor furthering a run for an hour before finally pausing to return to the real world.

Clone Drone in the Danger Zone offers awesome online co-op. Noita's world is just endless (people are still discovering new spell permutations years later). I will never turn down someone's offer or request to watch a run of FTL: Faster Than Light.

The AAA world is not impressive to me at all, and if anything gets deprioritized in my book; graphics or a third-person view do not a fantastic game make.

Like what else?

FTL!!! And yeah, PP is awesome and so unique!

A frequent activity that my closest friend group likes to do is spectate on single-player games played by one person via screen-sharing (and we're mostly introverted so no Twitch for us lol; plus, that's Amazon's playground anyway). This is where Discord unfortunately reigns supreme: its screen-sharing is somehow absolutely fantastic and near-flawless.

I recently learned that Matrix has screen-sharing through this Discord age-verification article, which may be enough to finally make the push for my friends to consider Matrix; how is it in comparison? Does anyone here very frequently use it?

 

The only active ones I could even open after installation at all say they can't find any commits. Has anyone gotten any of these to work? My social circle refuses to leave Discord and Revolt doesn't have screen-sharing.

 

I'm part of programming.dev and I feel like starting a /c/volumeeating (to mirror /r/volumeeating wouldn't really make sense there, haha.

 

I've had no ISP-provided Internet access since Feb. 2023 or so and, while it's been a pain at times, I still haven't caved into returning to the evil monopoly that is Spectrum, so far, and probably won't for as long as I can't land a remote job. ArrowDL, while not perfect, has been pretty good at download management for the most part in conjunction with mobile data-hotspotting.

 

When it comes to screenshooting ("screenshotting?"), I've never seen any tool even as remotely as capable as Summit; I think Thunder had some sort of system that builds it, but Summit appears to actually calculate the screen coordinates of content that displays on your device.

I never actually thought to press the button until now when I just tried it out of curiosity. Unbelievable!

 

For example, can FileAppend() be set to create something like %COMPUTERNAME%test.txt? I have no idea of what the code for this would be like, if so.

 

Can anyone help me figure this out?

I thought it was totally absent, which is why I went to ToolsCustomize and looked for it, but once I found where it would normally be put, it was apparently already checked! Yet I don't see it... I have no idea of what to do.

And no, it's not in the drop-down arrow by the "U," which is only more customization of the underline.

 

I thought in other word processors you could simply right-click them and find a "delete" button, but there seems to be no such thing in LO Writer. Does anyone have any leads? Much appreciated!

 

That would be awesome, if so!
