Yes, I use it practically daily and have had 0 issues aside from the very rare occasional maintenance/short outage. here's the guide originally from reddit that I followed after spending some time trying to figure it out

@[email protected] Looks interesting. Thank you, I'll take a look!

Nice, I'll take a peep at that too. Thanks :)

ah okay thanks, yea I just wanted to make sure. I've used those 5 office products and didn't think of an easier way to make what I'm making in those, so I was a little confused. Maybe there is a way that I don't know about but I was surprised at the least

I'll take a look at Draw.IO. thanks!!

@[email protected] I hit the reply arrow but it seems like this is just a normal comment, tagging you just in case

Would those office products be able to divide the sections in the same colored way that is done in my example? It seems like a weird thing, so that's my main concern. I'll take a look at Draw.IO. Isn't ms office just word? I don't have any paid office versions so whenever I need to use office products I just use the online version (sheets, docs, etc)

Also, there's 3 things I forgot to add for what I'm looking for: (i'll edit OP)

  1. the ability to adjust canvas size / full dimensions (see how in the example below its a vertical guide. I also would want to be able to add additional space if it gets cramped, so also the ability to select multiple elements and move together
  2. the ability to save the project as a PNG, I’m sure I could probably just screenshot with snipping tool but that isn’t super ideal
  3. having elements snap to keep everything aligned easily (or any other way to keep things aligned, rather than what I've had to do with pain.net which is just manually dragging & eyeballing the alignment)
 

I didn't know whether it would be best to post in a windows, open source, or software community for this - but this seems best. If not, please redirect me and I will be on my way :)

I'm on the hunt for some kind of windows software (or website is fine) that allows me to craft a guide. I have been using https://www.getpaint.net/ but it's just so tedious and meticulous to align everything perfectly (which you can see if you look at my example below). I would like the software to allow me to:

  • Add/edit text, images, resize images
  • Move around content (text/images)
  • Color sections
  • Create shapes/drawings (ideally with color customization like borders & thickness levels) - including lines and other shapes like arrows, circles, etc
  • Dividers between sections (see image for an example)
  • Modify background color
  • Modify text font (type, size, color)
  • Text formatting (bullets, numbers) though I can also just manually write 1. 2. etc, or draw a circle shape if needed
  • ADDED: the ability to adjust canvas size / full dimensions (see how in the example below its a vertical guide. I also would want to be able to add additional space if it gets cramped, so also the ability to select multiple elements and move together
  • ADDED: the ability to save the project as a PNG, I'm sure I could probably just screenshot with snipping tool but that isn't super ideal
  • ADDED: having elements snap to keep everything aligned easily (or any other way to keep things aligned, rather than what I've had to do with pain.net which is just manually dragging & eyeballing the alignment)

This is specifically for video games but could honestly apply for anything that could have a cheat sheet or a guide

Here is an example for a Lost Ark raid - anything that can make this is what I'm looking for

I am willing to pay a one time fee for a product if it's a a price affordable enough for me, otherwise I'm looking for something possibly FOSS. I'm hoping there's something out there better for this than paint.net , but there might not be. I appreciate any suggestions in advance!

Thanks once again, jesus I can't read lol

Ah that's the important part I was forgetting, I appreciate the correction!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

As far as I understand, yes! That's correct. ~~I have 1 account so I can't stream multiple devices at the same time~~. But if you have 2 separate accounts there shouldn't be issues. I'm like 95% sure but someone correct me if wrong

EDIT: As I was corrected below, you only can't stream multiple devices at the same time when using different external IP addresses

This is what I understand as well. I have been using it (well, specifically streamio + Rd with torrentio addon) for half a year so far and it's fantastic. Definitely seems too good to be true, but there's no catch imo :)

There's only 3 cons which for me aren't big deal breakers unless it's important to you

  • No auto renewal
  • Not free, it's like $6 for 6 months or something which imo is insanely affordable and an incredibly good deal
  • If you watch on multiple devices but at the same time, you get banned

EDIT: As I was corrected below, bullet 3 only applies when ~~under the same IP~~ using different external IP addresses
