Astarion can't talk to Raphael?

In my first playthrough he was able to talk to Raphael outside of the Gauntlet of Shar. This time Raphael just left without ever giving Astarion a chance to ask any questions. So, I reloaded a save, did the whole House of Healing fight again, made sure to have Astarion selected when we approached the Gauntlet, and it auto...

Dunstabzugshaubitze,

they changed which character gets priority in dialogue in some patch a while a go.

what normally works is to split your party and park your own character somewhere behind your party.

Dunstabzugshaubitze,

with the old system it sonetimes happened that a seemingly random companion was selected for important story moments.

but the new system defaulting to the players “main” character is not perfect either obviously.

Dunstabzugshaubitze,

what is a hero shooter and what makes it overwatch-style?

I’d think tf2 would be one.

Adding license after some time with no license?

I have previously written a lot of code that is hosted on a public repo on GitHub, but it never had a license. It was written as part of my work while working for a non-commercial academic entity, and I would like to add a license before the link to the repo will be included in something that will be made public, potentially...

Dunstabzugshaubitze,

It was written as part of my work.

check your contract, you might not own the code and your organization may have a process to determine how to license something.

to your other questions (IANAL)

  1. prior work wont be licensed, meaning no one but the owner of the work is allowed to do anything with versions prior to the license
  2. you don’t have to, but i can’t see a reason why you should not.
  3. GPL might mean that other work depending on gpl licensed code has to be licensed in a gpl compatible way, depending on how exactly you depend on it and how you distribute your dependencies. MIT/BSD is easier here, if you don’t plan to license everything with the GPL anyway.

XZ Hack - "If this timeline is correct, it’s not the modus operandi of a hobbyist. [...] It wouldn’t be surprising if it was paid for by a state actor." (lcamtuf.substack.com)

Thought this was a good read exploring some how the “how and why” including several apparent sock puppet accounts that convinced the original dev (Lasse Collin) to hand over the baton.

Dunstabzugshaubitze,

i can’t see how paying someone would have changed anything in this scenario.

this seems to be a long running campaign to get someone into a position where they could introduce malicious code. the only thing different would have been that the bad actor would have been paid by someone.

this is not to say, that people working on foss should not be paid. if anything we need more people actively reviewing code and release artifacts even if they are not a contributor or maintainer of a piece of software.

Dunstabzugshaubitze,

no, the solution is not to pay someone to have someone to blame if shit happens.

there are a bus load of people involved on the way from a git repo to actuall stuff running on a machine and everyone in that chain is responsible to have an eye on what stuff they are building/packaging/installing/running and if something seems off, it’s their responsibility to investigate and communicate with each other.

attacks like this will not be solved by paying someone to read source code, because the code in the repo might not be what is going to run on a machine or might look absolutely fine in a vacuum or will be altered by some other part in the chain. and even if you have dedicated code readers, you cant be sure that they are not compromised or that their findings will reach the people running/packaging/depending on the software.

Dunstabzugshaubitze,

maybe the pathfinder games by owlcat. the pathfinder rules they use are very very simmiliar to d&d 3.5 so, should feel familiar if you enjoyed neverwinter.

they are not super hardware hungry and run without a problem through proton/wine.

Dunstabzugshaubitze,

when they released they were real time with pause, like the old baldurs gate games.

they added a turn based mode though, in a later patch.

Dunstabzugshaubitze,

i think it was during Swens acceptance speech at the video game awards where he thanked the amazing people at hasbro/wotc who helped to make bg3 a reality only to say how strange/sad it is that almost no one from the first meetings is still at the company in his next sentence.

Dunstabzugshaubitze,

you have to make a weapon or unarmed attack with your action first, after that you can use your bonus action to attack again.

Dunstabzugshaubitze,

i am playing on steam deck, so i only know the controller ui, but with that i just choose the attack action again just like i would with a martial characters extra attack.

it’s not a special icon or anything

Dunstabzugshaubitze,

yes, hex/hunters mark/lightning charges etc. only trigger once per hit on honor, but the biggest thing to keep in mind are:

pact of the blade does not stack with extra attack from other classes and your bonus action from being hasted will only grant one attack.

however stacking many damage riders and fishing for crits is still very viable.

Dunstabzugshaubitze,

multi-player. BG3 allows you to play the entire game with up to 4 people.

Dunstabzugshaubitze,

It requires a connection to the servers to play the single player.

So yes, even people who bought a physical version lose the ability to play the game.

Tl;dr: DRM sucks, buying does not imply owning.

Dunstabzugshaubitze,

En Garde! Nice indie game, with a combat system simmiliar to sekiro, but very lighthearted presentation. Also started paradise killer. Definitely interesting, but not sure if it’s a game for me

Dunstabzugshaubitze,

Kbin and lemmy are still relatively small things, so it’s hard to get a steady flow of content in more niche communities and there is allways the real possibility that multiple communities exist for a specific topic, but their members are unaware of the others.

But yeah, i’d enjoy specialized single game communities, hell i especially miss the various magic the gathering communities.

Dunstabzugshaubitze,

I am surprised it’s not more.

It’s super charming, has many interesting twists on the pokémon formula, a great ost, monster designs are good… it should be up there with other beloved indies.

Dunstabzugshaubitze,

Cs:go, dota 2, artifact and underlords i think.

I guess this is estimated revenue through game sales, otherwise i’d think activision-blizzard(candy crush) and valve(steam cut, dota and cs micro transactions, steam market) would be higher.

And of course MS has an interest to undervalue some companies compared to sony and nintendo

Microsoft documents leak new Bethesda games, including an Oblivion remaster (www.theverge.com)

Remember that these were estimates from more than three years ago and before Microsoft completed its acquisition of ZeniMax in March 2021, so there’s always the chance that some of these plans have changed dramatically or been scrapped entirely. But they may provide an early look at some of the games we can look forward to...

Dunstabzugshaubitze,

“Schwacher Trank der Lebensenergie-Wiederherstellung.”

Oblivion auto generated potion names based on their effects and the template they used lead to this super long names in german. A proper translation would have been “Schwacher Heiltrank” or “Schwacher Lebensregenerstionstrank”

Dunstabzugshaubitze,

Nope, they said it again during the live stream where they had two people play part of the third act this exile con. Every mtx that effects something that is present in both games will be shared between them. I’d guess stash tabs will be included in both games, so those should carry over.

Dunstabzugshaubitze,

I’ll steup the morrowind total conversion “starwind” which seems like a really good star wars game set in the old republic era.

Unless a friend of mine buys baldurs gate 3. In zhat case it’ll be baldurs gate 3. I hope it lives up to divinity original sin 2.

Dunstabzugshaubitze,

If it doesn’t run doom, is it even a computer?

Dunstabzugshaubitze,

I am not a native speaker, can somebody explain the "high human" part of the title?

I don't think its about rather tall nor especially baked individuals, but my brain fails to come up with something else here

Looking for a particular type of RPG

I played Knight's of Pen and Paper (and 2) and enjoyed it quite a bit, even though, I don't usually like turn-based RPGs. And I think I figured out exactly what about that game made me enjoy it - there's no walking. I mean, there's no world, where you control a single character and can move in any direction, all there is is a...

Dunstabzugshaubitze,

Maybe something like x-com or phoenix point?

The only movement there is part of the battle

Or are you looking for a non stop gauntlet of fights in an old final fantasy style? Then some of those deck building /card battler games like slay the spire or night of the full moon might scratch a simmiliar itch, even if they are not party based.
