Quoting: VoxPelliChimeraOS (previously GamerOS), the arch based SteamOS 2.0 couch gaming distro, has a web app that you can use on any device in your local network via URL

Been wondering if that app can be used on a different arch-based distro.

Apparently yes (its on the AUR), but I suppose only if using the steamos-compositor-plus, according to the: https://github.com/ChimeraOS/chimera [External Link]

Btw now chimera is the name of this web interface. Before it was called Steam Buddy.

I can't find any "chimera" package on the AUR... :huh:

Quoting: CyrilI can't watch the video, because blocked in my country... but it seems it's the trailer.
What the issue about it? It's the film itself?

The trailer seems ok to me. Especially annoying was Netflix' US poster, compared to the French one...

Yeah sorry I didn't read all posts when posted my comment. Yeah a lot of people, in France at least (I'm French), have speak about the US poster and mostly disagree with it, but the problem here is that because of this a lot of people simply refused to watch the film but still they spit on it...
As I watched the film, it's a good film and obviously don't deserve the shitstorm IMHO.

But yeah, my final word about it, let's stay of the topic. :wink:

Quoting: InterloperHonestly, after the Cuties incident [External Link], Netflix should not get any kind of publicity.

Nefarious and disgusting company. I hope they fail.

Quoting: freeheroes2

Quoting: CyrilI started with Heroes III on my side. But yesterday I seriously tried Heroes II with fheroes2, big map, hard mode, it run very well! Graphically it's another world, but after a while you get used to it, and even old it's still charming.
It's very interesting to see the differences between the two games thought, some things are bad, some are better.

Heroes of Might and Magic II is balanced in not obvious way, comparing to Heroes 3, where it was implemented mostly through creatures. In Heroes 2 there's an essential differences in movement speed of faction. (Also, I should note here, that heroes move not so fast over world map, comparing to H3, so movement distance is very important)

Yeah but you have that spell "Dimension Door" that you can use multiple times and cost only 10 SP... ^^

Quoting: freeheroes2Also, Primary attributes have a greater influence on troops, so strength-specialized fractions can deal much more physical damage, over weak wizards.

I don't know. But I find that Primary attributes seems less "broken", not high as in Heroes III or it's harder to get them high. For example in my current game my hero (necromancer) is : level 26, bag full of artifacts, and Primary attributes are only at 17/14/16/19.

But again I'm discovering the game. :wink:

Quoting: freeheroes2Also, regarding special abilities of creatures... With the help of our open engine we will add description to every creature in game. Just give us some time to polish our engine.

Oh that's great!

Quoting: NoStHoMM 2 was the first game in the series I ever played, and I loved it.
Being an old school gamer I'm genuinely happy that there are so many open source projects keeping these classic games alive today.

I started with Heroes III on my side. But yesterday I seriously tried Heroes II with fheroes2, big map, hard mode, it run very well! Graphically it's another world, but after a while you get used to it, and even old it's still charming.
It's very interesting to see the differences between the two games thought, some things are bad, some are better.

For me, after only some hours in-game, the worst is the hero's inventory that is so tiny, and didn't find a way to sell them after discovered the majority of the map and multiple towns. But in fact, you don't have an inventory with some active artifacts and some disabled, all you carry is active.
The possibility to buy all creatures from a building in one click is nice, curious they removed it in the III.
Magic spells seems a lot easier to me as apparently there isn't Magic elements Skills, so no specialization to get powerful spells like slow down all enemies troops etc, no there it's just different spells that everybody can learn.
Some things are very strange to me, like towns are not equal at all. In terms of upgrades, cost and power of creatures...
Like Necromancers have Bone dragons without upgrades, and the other town have Green, Red and Black dragons which are far better (300HP...), and of the other side the most powerful unit of the human town is the Crusaders with only 65HP, very curious.
There is also one thing that bother me, the lack of information's special skills of creatures, you don't if one can resist magic, curse another or regenerate etc.
Another thing is that towns can recruit 6 different creatures but your hero (and town) have only 5 slots, I clearly don't understand why.

Quoting: Rooster

Quoting: Cyril

Quoting: RoosterI use it, but not to have HD resolution, but because it also includes some small quality of life improvements, especially when moving armies between heroes.

What do you mean by "small quality of life improvements"? This game is perfect period. :tongue:
No seriously, you mean like move all troops in one click? I play mostly with only one hero so... :happy:

From the top of my head:

Move all troops in one click,
Move all artifacts in one click,
Being able to auto result a battle,
Being able to actually quit/load the game during battle

OK the 4th is nice, the rest I can live without, I rarely transfers things between heroes and I never wanted to auto result battles so I'm fine.
