They have a demo available. https://store.steampowered.com/app/3404260/Dead_as_Disco/
From what I played, the attack matches the music automatically, and you do not need to worry about pressing buttons on the beat.
You can attack with no concern about timing (mashing, for example), and the animation will always hit to complement the music. Like, if the music has a quick ta-ta-ta, pressing the attack will show your character quickly punching 3 times matching it.
I don’t know whether it is nostalgia or my memory failing, but Batman: Arkham combat is in a sweet spot that is hard to match. I remember enjoying Sleeping Dogs and Shadow of Mordor, but Mad Max was a bit repetitive. People also suggests Sifu and Ghost of Tsushima, but I haven’t tried those yet.
tl;dr: it is probably Deadlock, use a VPN to force a different the server/route.
@hello_there Does your computer support wifi6? What time of the day are you playing Deadlock?
As others mentioned, you need to isolate the problem. The usual suspects are:
mtr, linssid, nmcli… there are many out there. Use something that would monitor for a while, since you said that the spikes happen every 10 seconds. If you are willing to move your computer, or get a longer cable to your antenna, or to buy wifi6 antenna with a long cable: you can get a phone app to do the strength test and check for better spots nearby.The other suspects do not happen so often, but:
A faulty Wi-Fi device, but the 10 seconds interval is a bit weird for it. And you would see a bunch of errors in your logs. If you want to rule that out, get one of those wifi-usb dongle with a big USB extension, or one of those fancy ones from TP-Link or Netgear that comes with big cables and antennas.
If you think it might be a fedora update, you can rollback to test it. https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-coreos/manual-rollbacks/
I am inclined to think it is Deadlock because I played it for a while, and from my list, it was the only thing inconsistent and extremely erratic. From one day to another, it would go from small spikes, to something that looked like randomizing my ping between 45 and 350 every couple of seconds. One of those days it was connecting me to Amsterdam servers, with a hop in Buenos Aires first. And sometimes it would change depending on the time of the day. The game is not released yet, and their servers are still experimental.
Sadly, there is no way to force a server at the time, not sure if they implemented that yet. And there were plenty of people complaining on their forums about those problems. There, you might find a case similar to yours with a different solution, but what worked for me sometimes was to use a VPN and chose a location in the same city as the server closest to me. When that failed, I would try a different city for the VPN.
I was quite successful with Yocto Project for the SoCs I use.
Thanks for the recommendation.
I played the game and Replaced might be the best thing I played this Next Fest so far. I had to find this post back just to thank you.
My suggestions are:
Scott Pilgrim EX Beat’em up RPG in the universe of Scott Pilgrim, it is a well-made game even if you don’t know that IP.
Wax Heads You work in a record store matching LPs to customers and helping local bands.
Phonopolis Beautifully-made point & click adventure(cardboard style), with well-made puzzles.
Pluto I went for the art, but really liked the mechanics to cast spells. You can put an element on each of your fingers that matches the pattern of a spell card. If a spell ends in water, and another starts with water you can chain them to use fewer fingers. There is a bunch of mechanics going on to modify the behaviour of your fingers, like rings, power ups, or enemy curses.
It is nice that most of them have demos.
Jackal is good, I recommend if you like games like Hotline Miami. It is similar but more forgiving, and you have some weird powers. (There is a button “download demo” on the right panel).
I need to give the others a try, I am curious about Shadows of the Afterland.
I noticed that most people I bump into that says they are not into politics, they mean partisan politics. Often from places where they are disenfranchised about their civics.
But if you bring up “holly shit, did you see the price of milk is 7CAD?”. They will be more than happy to provided their cents on why and think about solutions.
Puuluup is great, learned about them during Eurovision a couple of years ago. Thanks for the recommendation of KEXP
This is the best answer! Thank you for sharing your methods. I was going to reply about the daily editorial, but yours is more complete.
I would also like to add that I type the name of things I like and often find them on bandcamp. Including big artists.
Peter Gabriel, Evanescence, Run the Jewels, Flight of Conchords, Ghost…
What I don’t find there, I get from a thrift store (easy to find famous artists there) or quobuz.
They do already, and most of the comments on the noise are “please share promp”.
They gave us a scare over the years, being sold around to companies that are famous for enshittifying platforms.
Epic sold the company when people unionized, and the next did a trick to not recognized the union and “hire” half of the staff (contrary to fire half of them).
The platform is not what has been 5 years ago, but it is still my favourite place to get music around.
First time I heard of Konek, I have been using Interact for a while but did not know they had this service.
As far as I am aware, a bunch of countries created something similar to get rid of American payment systems, like UPI in India.
My favourite so far is the Brazilian Pix https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pix_(payment_system), becoming the most used payment system in the country in the past few years. Not only because it is technically sound, but it also managed to get the Americans pissed. Credit card and tech lobbies pressuring the American government to do something about it. Meta tried to release a payment system in Brazil that failed miserable because of Pix.
plugged that into ghci as 5+2*(8-5), and it says 17.
You might want to report that error. Or, did you mean 2+5*(8-5)?
The author surely likes that the mascot is a dog. It feels more of a read and analysis of the terms of use than a deep dive of the tool but it was a good reading and I liked the suggestions.
I also liked the “reminder”.
Edit: you should share this in some community as a post, every time I see this kind of website (pure content no-nonsense) it is shared is in the comments. 15 years ago this kind of stuff was easy to find, but nowadays, I only see them in comment sections. Even the search engine recommended around here would list a bunch of junk in the first pages.
From ground news summary:
What the ground news summary did not describe that most publications seem to list are:
That rain smell, I remember being happy when my mom allowed me to play in the rain.
A lot of the things that happen to your skin can be caused by bacteria, clogged pores by dead skin, dirty, hair, fabric… Those steps will help you minimize the chances and help your skin recover faster after shaving.
If possible, you should visit a dermatologist for a deeper understanding of your skin, and the care you need.
Also, on a special occasion, treat yourself to one of those old school barbers, with hot/cold towels and all the pampers.
Some people might say the last panel was not necessary, but it was what made me spit my coffee.
