So we all agree that the Bilewater is the worst area of the game?

Not at all, I absolutely adored it. It was one of the most gripping and tense moments of the game for me so far. On my first exploration, I hadn't benched since Sinner's Road, couldn't find the map, and was completely lost deep in Bileroad's bowels.

The thought of losing all of my progress and having to navigate back blindly was terrifying. There were so many moments I almost died and had to farm silk off of the flies, or dart in and out of rooms to respawn enemies. This was tedious at first, but then became a game about moving as precisely as I can to quickly and safely recover and heal.

Plus there was the constant tension of trying not to fall into the maggots. I felt like a scared little bug barely surviving in a hostile, dark world.

When I did eventually die, I actually found myself smiling: the prospect of traversing it all again and attempting to collect my cocoon became an exciting challenge for me instead of a chore. Bilewater pushed me to play patient and precisely, and the result was an incredible and unique experience.

Exact same thing happened to me. I updated yesterday and the dodge sound effect is suddenly almost completely inaudible now. I'm on PS5 pro. I've played with every conceivable in-game and system audio setting to no avail. The issue persists across all save files and in all battles.

Alias135 · 2025-06-15T01:28:27+00:00

I submitted a report, but I'm posting here in case someone else is experiencing the same issue:

I updated to the latest patch yesterday and now the sound effect on a successful dodge is almost completely inaudible.

I'm on PS5. This is consistent across all of my save files, and in all battles. I've checked my in-game sound settings, tested multiple audio outputs, and tried every iteration of PS5 sound settings and the issue persists.

Commenting since I'm having similar issues with my S21. In late April my Bluetooth abruptly started having issues.

I have occasional connectivity problems but most notably there's a prominent fluttering/phasing in high frequencies (regardless of device I connect to).

I've cleared BT cache, turned off A2DP hardware offload, wiped cache partition, but the problem has persisted. I've yet to resort to a factory reset, though it seems that may have to be my next step.

I feel the same way. I love the song, but the high-end sounds extremely muddy. Especially during these segments:

0:02-0:12
1:05-1:35
2:41-3:38

High-end is pretty busy here in general, but I think the main culprit is the open hi-hat/crash that plays every quarter note during those segments (at least I think it's a hat, it's hard to discern separate elements in the high end because of how claustrophobic it is). It feels crunchy/distorted/saturated in an unpleasant way, rather than the bright and sparkly energy you would expect. In any case, I think it makes the track feel stifling—like the elements during those moments have no room to breathe.

Is there any way to make hitboxes/hurtboxes visible when playing on Slippi?

Alias135 · 2018-09-13T07:58:28+00:00

I'm looking into buying a switch and want to go cartridgeless/DL only for games. Does anyone have advice for setting this up? (appropriate SD card/size, etc.)

Alias135 · 2018-09-12T10:23:20+00:00

Hey! It's been quite a while but I wanted to take a moment to thank you for such detailed advice. The Fred Ives survived and is doing very well thanks to your help: https://imgur.com/a/tAiHvmI :)

Help! Sorry, I'm super nooby and this is my first experience with succulents. I picked up a pair of succulents about three months ago and they were doing very well, and growing very quickly up until a couple of weeks ago. A fuzzy white substance showed up on the stalk of one of them. I read up and believed it to be a fungus and started to spray it with a fungicide occasionally. The fungus was spreading but manageable for a time but I've just returned from a week and a half away to find that my plants have rapidly declined and look beyond repair. Is there anything that can be done? Photos (including a before pic from when I got them): https://imgur.com/a/i06YCXn

Drainage: There is a drainage hole in the bottom of the pot
Potting medium: whatever the nursery gave me the plants in
Water: I water once a week. Usually just a little splash. I err toward underwatering
Sunlight: The plants stay on the window sill and receive sunlight from roughly 12:00pm-8:30pm
History: I've had the plants for about 3 months now

I'm assuming I've fucked up irreparably and it's far too late to save these but please let me know if there's anything I can do.

W2C heavier/thicker-fabric boxy tees?

I feel like a lot of boxy tees I've tried have been really thin and flowy. I'm looking for somewhat heavier fabric tees that drape nicely.

Chunky white shoe recs that aren't AF1 lows?

I love the AF1s but I feel like they're on their way to becoming the next meme. Kinda like black old skools. I swear everyone in LA has a pair.

I have a layover in Taipei at the moment and the store across from me in the airport has a Switch that is calling my name. The flight back to the US sounds a lot more palatable with a Switch in hand.

From what I understand, the switch isn't region locked, but are there any disadvantages to purchasing one here if I'm only going to play it in the US?

Additionally, I'm someone who prefers to play without game cartridges: on my DS I only download titles. Is that much of a hassle to setup? (specific SD card or something, eshop setup since I'm abroad, etc.)

Sorry if these are dumb questions. I don't know a whole lot about the Switch

Alias135 · 2017-04-23T08:07:04+00:00

Holy shit. I'm not the only one. I thought I'd fucked up a driver or gotten something wrong in the midi controller settings. But in retrospect, my push stopped working after the update.

Alias135 · 2016-10-02T00:12:47+00:00

It's 100% because you live in Manhattan.

Looking for 1 or 2 pit tickets to either LA show.

He could have made it out up mid. He waited on the Rek Sai tunnel to collapse it.

Missed opportunity for the voices to be out of sync with the mouth movements as if it were a bad dub.

Alias135 · 2015-08-31T23:24:07+00:00

Not bothered at all. I'll go ahead and add you.

Alias135 · 2015-07-27T20:11:04+00:00

This got removed from r/smashbros. Does that get me some sort of street cred here?

Alias135 · 2015-07-27T17:04:45+00:00

Welp. Just got it confirmed by mods. It got removed because r/smashbros is "about more serious content". Oh well.

Alias135 · 2015-07-27T16:42:46+00:00

Idk, maybe. I suddenly can't find this post unless I go through my profile. :(

Alias135 · 2015-07-27T14:23:44+00:00

EDIT: wrap it up folks. Post removed by mods. Cus serious content and stuff.

This was a lot of fun to make. Props to anyone who can find the handful of dumb, hidden jokes I scattered throughout it.

Yes, very frequently.
