  • Not sure how accurate my memory of the modern world map would be for that far back but depending on “where I spawned in” I would try and migrate to like ideal farmland or somewhere I know is good to build up.

    If I was near Iberia I’d probably try for Cordoba… Western America, I’d go for San Francisco or anywhere near Lake Tulare… I’m sure there’s more than I am remembering right now.

    I wouldn’t have to worry about organized religion having immense crusades and could carve out a little kingdom.

    Try to make a modest “fortress” out of ashlar blocks or anything I can make primitively. Try to find a way to record as much “hints” towards technological progress for my descendants to follow.

    Fertilizer, Germs, Animal Husbandry, Public Works (Dams), Canning, Gunpowder (not idea of gun just explosives, but they’ll probably weaponize it), steam power, oil, electricity, refrigeratation, concept of computers.

    It’ll probably just have to be drawings but if I can find a cool gal and learn her language enough to roll with it then it’ll just have to be that, No point in writing it in English.

    If I can actually get to the point of building a steam/wobbler engine that would probably be my life goal.

    Throw in ancient technologies that are cool like Yakchals(?) and what not to actually survive to that point.


  • Get a little area where I would actually want to live.

    Carve out mountains to channel water to more areas, basically accelerate what Egypt is doing to spread the green lush from the Nile River.

    Make ideal spots for some cities, get a lot of gold out of the ground to prepare to buy the land

    Pour all the foundations of the buildings, build lines of rails for public transit and trains. Make sewer system and areas to transport water

    Just make it super easier for people to come and build/live there, and if I own it all I can avoid big corporations coming and pushing out growing businesses


  • The driver that appears is “snd_hda_intel”, the intel part is apparently just what they decided to name it, doesn’t matter that the board is centered around an AMD Chip

    I’ve disabled the other two devices I have “Navi 31 HDMI/DP Audio” and “Rembrandt Radeon High Definition Audio Controller”

    The former is for Audio through my GPU(?)'s HDMI which i didn’t even know was a thing

    The latter I thought might be the one I needed but apparently its for the hdmi of the board itself

    I will try your advice with alsamixer and see if I can get anything out of it


    Update: Alsamixer I flipped everything off of mute, some things were muted, I also disabled auto-mute but nothing changed.

    Audio from youtube tries to play out to the right card but I have no idea what’s wrong. I’m back to my hdajackretask idea and messing with that






  • I understand but I literally just left Nogales to visit my stepfather and during my week there there were so many campaign ads. The only thing he told me about them is that candidates from all positions from Mayor to Governor and up wind up dead all the time.

    Apparently it’s really common and my father had a similar reaction to the top comment. Yes it’s scary but it’s something that the government needs to take precautions for


  • I use it as daily driver. I have a JSAUX dock with ssd for home, I unplug and bring it with me to university and use it with a bluetooth folding keyboard and house I got for <50$.

    It does everything I need. I’m a CS Major and “Boxes” works well for any sandbox environment I need.

    If you’re super technical, some thing in SteamOS can limit you, like how system files are on their own partition that gets wiped every update. But it’s perfectly doable


  • Female outfits are typically more interesting, like in GTA maybe it’s not as bad but I’m tired of every endgame male armor in rpgs of MMOs being a guy in a giant mountain of metal. It doesn’t look “badass” it looks stupid and bland. (On the flip side bikini armor is also stupid)

    That and female voices are just more… appealing? Idk the science behind it but there’s a reason AI assistants are like 95% female voices.


  • One Way Heroics (Plus)

    Made by a guy in Japan. Uses a custom engine and has really intricate rpg elements, super cool and I’m a huge fan. Basically you’re constantly moving right because a black fog is consuming the world and if you aren’t fast enough then it’ll consume you too. Kind of plays like a Roguelike, but runs can have the shorter objectives, or the really long ones.

    Granted it’s not perfect:

    • It was made by one guy so after a certain amount of time you kinda see most things, needs mods (which doesn’t exist) or more content.
    • You only get one stat per level-up, and if you get like “carryweight” five times in a row, then you kinda just got low-rolled and are weak-af
    • You can’t actually determine what biomes you end up in so sometimes you just get volcano 3 times in a row and it kinda sucks, it would be nice to see biomes up ahead and chart a course
    • There’s some “degen weeb” dialogue that’s funny about once and then kinda weird. (Characters simp hard af for you after your run if you get SSS rank in a category they rate you in, theres some “prefixes” that give alternate dialogue to npcs, so if you get a “Naughty” Dosey/Frida/Mila then all her dialogue is degenerate af for the rest of the run)

    But I still love the game, and one of my first projects I plan on is making a hexagonal-grid version of the engine that would enable the above (gameplay) issues to be fixed, something might come out of it tbh.
