New Mission Type - Deactivate Terminid Control System
  • I've played this mission a few times tonight and got super samples (SSs) 3 times. They don't spawn in every mission.

    So far, every single time it was on the outer "ring" of the map (never in the dark corrupted circular area around the center).

    Some tips:

    • You can know right from the start if SSs are present by checking your sample list
    • If you know some are present, focus your search on the outer area.
    • Bring a Jump Pack - it lets you get to higher ground to spot the SS rock more easily, helps you to evade mobs and increase your movement speed.
    • Make it a priority to find the samples and when you do, go directly to extract and drop them there before starting the mission. There are some deep holes in the ground on some maps (easy to fall into if it's night) that you might not be able to jump out of even with the jump pack - you don't want to lose your samples in there. Afterwards, you'll have the option of extracting with the samples even if you fail the mission because you're short on time.
    • I've recall seeing a video that mentioned if you quit the game mid-mission (not return to the ship) and replay the same mission, you get the same map, so if you have a map you know has SSs and you haven't found them, you can quit and retry the mission to search for them again. I don't know if that's still true.
    • Using Scout Armor might help you to find them more easily (I tried but couldn't get the hang of it in my attempts so far though) - See this video for more details.

    My loadout has been:

    • Incendiary Breaker (one shot to eggs will destroy them with fire damage)
    • Light Scout Armor
    • Redeemer
    • Impact Grenades
    • Jump Pack
    • Orbital Gas Strike - to clear mobs following me
    • Orbital Railcannon Strike to get rid of Bile Titans
    • Orbital Laser Strike to get rid of Bile Titans
    • Stamina Booster

    Edit:

    I ended up collecting 115 super samples (used 15 along the way) while this mission was available.

    The video on locating SSs was somewhat accurate- the Scout passive sometimes marks the SS chicken leg rock as a point of interest, but usually it didn’t for me.

    On the other hand, it was right that the SS rock is visible on the minimap (middle and highest zoom levels) and you can learn to spot them with practice. In the end, I didn’t need the scout armor to confirm the rock’s location - I could find it by looking for it on the map and I was right over 90% of the time.

  • Helldivers be like
  • I've played for 80 hours and haven't had any problems when using Proton Experimental.

    If you switch proton versions, rename the numbered folder for Helldivers 2 (553850) to force Steam to create a new folder for it.

    It should be in your Steam Library at /steamapps/compatdata/553850 (where your Steam Library folder is will vary, so I can't give a specific path)

    If you still have trouble, look through people's reports on ProtonDB for things you can try. https://www.protondb.com/app/553850

    If you don't rename/delete that folder between Proton version changes, files relating to both versions will combine, which can sometimes cause it to not run as it should. Local save games might be stored in there as well, so don't delete the folder before making sure your progress hasn't been lost (it's also in Steam Cloud but sometimes deleting local save games can result in sync problems).

  • Getting logged out after a week
  • Ok, good to know, thanks!

    It doesn’t seem likely to be a browser addon because if it were, I’d expect it to have the same effect on other sites and I don’t get logged out after 1 week on any other accounts.

    I’ll see if the same thing happens when I log in on a different Firefox profiles and browsers.

    Getting logged out after a week

    Is anyone else getting logged out of their accounts after about a week when logged in on a desktop web browser? (I'm using Firefox) I don't have this issue on mobile with Voyager.

    Is there a way of staying logged in indefinitely?

    If this is a setting, the inconvenience of needing to re-login gives users an incentive to weaken their security because users will try to make logging in less of a hassle (like disabling 2FA).

    'One Piece' review: Netflix does the impossible
  • Do a search for "One Pace". A good feeling pace is about 2 manga chapters per anime episode but the anime creators reduced that to 1 chapter per episode when they started running low on material. One Pace edits the anime to 2 chapters per episode and has it follow the manga more closely.

    A sample of a scene from an episode with both versions compared:

    Basil Poledouris - Riddle of Steel/Riders of Doom (Conan the Barbarian, 1982)

    When I was a kid, Conan the Barbarian was my favorite movie.

    A large part of that was the epic soundtrack. There are a number of tracks on it I think would fit here and I'll eventually post others but this was my favorite.

    Favorite parts:

    • 2:13 vocals start
    • Trumpets at 3:24

    Basil Poledouris took inspiration from the Carmina Burana by Carl Orff when creating the Conan soundtrack. The CB is epic as well and is worth a listen. Most people are probably already familiar with the opening movement (O Fortuna).

    Why You Should Not Kill House Centipedes
  • The video has good points, though it also has lots of photos and clips of centipedes that aren’t house centipedes, some of which are venomous and can definitely hurt humans.

    Even if they’re harmless, I’d find it unnerving to have them around because I’d worry about whether one could have wandered under my sheets or into a shoe. If I see one in the basement I’d leave it alone, but if I saw one in my bedroom or bathroom, that’s a dead bug brah.

  • How do you define "epic music?" - Cinematic music that speaks to the soul

    The answer to this would be good to include in the sidebar so people would have a better idea what’s ok to post.

    Epic music is its own genre, but it can also be used to describe music more broadly - music from other genres that evokes a feeling of awe or other strong emotion.

    The, uh, other place’s epic music community describes it this way:

    “Music that speaks to the soul either lyrically, melodically, instrumentally, aurally, rhythmically, vocally, technologically, emotionally, temporally, or in some other profound way.” (a broad definition that would encompass multiple genres)

    What kind of music would you like this community to focus on?

    EDIT:

    I just came across ascallion's post on !newcommunities@lemmy.world from 2 months ago where they described it as Cinematic music that speaks to the soul.

    That description answers my question.

    How reliable dual booting has been for you?
  • Haven’t had a problem since I started using Linux full time in 2019 but I rarely boot to Windows (usually once every few months to update it). I have W10 and Kinoite (openSUSE before that) installed on separate SSDs. I used 2 EFI partitions (which I make backups of from time to time) on the respective drives the OSs are installed on.

  • An idea for a bot - camelcamelcamel link bot

    This isn’t something I know how to create, so tossing the idea out for those who might know how to implement it.

    The bot would detect Amazon links here and automatically create a comment in the post with a ca.camelcamelcamel.com link for the product.

    This would let readers easily check the price history of the product to know if the current sale is a good one.

    The same (or a different bot) could also link to fakespot (or some other review checker) for the product.

    Display names for users and communities aren't shown

    As an example:

    https://lemmy.world/post/2617991

    On Voyager it shows that the person who created that post is gergolippal@mastadon.social and community name is nathanwpyle.

    If you view the post in a browser, the community has the display name “Strange Planet by Nathan W. Pyle” and the post was created by “gergo”.

    A call for people with experience
  • If you’ve stopped attempts at this because of previous comments, I think it’s worth revisiting. The community doesn’t have the population or participation level needed yet for it to function. It’s too much to ask for one person (RandomDude) to keep alive by themselves.

    As things stand you need to return to Reddit anyway for the info, so populating it with posts or links from there would at least keep people on Lemmy.

    If people don’t like it, they can always block the account of the bot making the posts and they’d be left with only human generated content.

    When the community is large and engaged enough to function without the bot, it can be disabled.

  • Viewing a multi-image post only shows the first image

    I don’t know if it’s like this for everyone but the linked post has 2 images but when I view it in Voyager it only shows the first image and there’s no indication that a second image exists.

    https://lemmy.world/post/2323338

    Edit - Still trying to figure out how to link it so that it opens in voyager
