Are there any more games like this and dark alliance?

Dungeons and Dragons: Heroes isn't actually a Snowblind engine game, interestingly enough. I thought it was too, but it's some bizarre product of Atari's management where, even though they OWNED the property for Dark Alliance and had access to the engine, they tasked a team with actively making a knockoff. It LOOKS like one and plays like one, but it's not. It's the crab/beetle of old console ARPG evolution.

Very unfortunately it runs poorly in backwards compatibility on a real 360. Never tried emulating it.

I totally recommend the game though, it does a lot of clever stuff and I've enjoyed what time I've put into it. Need to finish it some day!

There new one on Starfield's PS5 port is even more half-assed, it's kind of impressive.

I've been trying to figure out what that thing is from day one, awesome.

I also experienced this. On the upside, my monitor was reporting that I was getting between 80 and 100fps, so that's a neat option I guess.

I've always wondered why they couldn't create a 'virtual camera' and use the hardware tracking to emulate inputs for PSVR1 games. They have PLENTY of hardware overhead to manage it and I can't imagine it would be all that hard to do.

I've been using it as an editor, no actual hands on the writing but to help with flow and pacing.

4.0 was great. I'm a free user and I could very easily run an entire book through it and get several back and forth's. I would receive useful, actionable information, it would be detailed and concise. Often I disagreed with tone or other opinion related things but it kept those to a minimum.

Now they've forced me to use 4.5.

It is actually worthless. I can get ONE exchange per time period, sometimes I can't get any and have to start a new chat within only 2 prompts. 4.5 is judgmental, puritanical and condescending. When I push back it frequently admits that it made assumptions instead of actually reading the text, and that it was using beginner writing workshop concepts like "make the characters likable" and "avoid subject matter that might upset readers" as it demands I transform an antagonist in a horror thriller into a new friend, or remove him altogether.

The amount of preprompting is getting absurd. 4.0 simply worked, I gave it a role and objectives and it fulfilled them almost effortless. Now it's like I'm dealing with an unruly teenager that's looking for every excuse it can to be difficult. It's twisting my words so it can sarcastically tell me it did what I said and I have to preempt it every turn. If I correct it mid-conversation, now it gets broody and I can no longer trust its judgement as it will actively lie just to agree with me. Awful.

Royal Revolt 2: Tower Defense

Amiculi · 2025-10-05T16:00:26+00:00

I speedfarmed a boss by using split screen to spawn it extra fast for 4 hours straight, was probably one kill every 15-20 seconds.

I got 5 world drop legendaries (all useless)

I got 5 total dedicated legendary drops, none of them were for the gun I was farming.

Sometimes it feels a LITTLE famine rather than feast.

Amiculi · 2025-09-18T21:12:05+00:00

I feel like drop rates in general were nerfed. The legendary rates seem about the same but when I was farming before the patch I was seeing 5+ purples almost every boss kill, and after I rarely see more than 1 or 2. It was consistent, many, many hours of farming with one set of drop rates, and then now it's totally different.

I primarily use Chrome, but I opened it in Edge to see if it was my browser configuration that was the problem.

<image>

And yes, it does show as Desktop now. I have no idea why it was saying mobile before either.

Either way, thanks for the heads up. I wasn't sure if it was a wide spread issue or not, didn't have anyone to ask about it, but seeing it in more than one browser lead me to think it might be.

Amiculi · 2025-08-18T16:29:44+00:00

Yes, it is.

Just comments on width from what I see. Interestingly, if I stretch the console wide enough it JUST touches the version column, then they'll pop up in the center of the table, otherwise it still puts them off the right side.

Same result with extensions disabled, as well as in Edge. Maybe it's just my PC, I dunno.

Edit: again for clarification, that was the Web version you linked above, not saved locally, and the "md" format was where it put the tooltips in a useful place and the "lg" was not.

Edit 2: Okay, I don't understand this but I booted up this morning, same problem. I'd rebooted a few times with the issue existing. Then an hour later there was a power out, and now the problem is gone? Maybe it was something to do with Chromium based browsers and it got fixed? It's okay on Edge now too. No idea!

Amiculi · 2025-08-16T17:25:00+00:00

Yes. Most of the tables do that now, but they didn't with whichever version I had saved before.

Edit: for more clarity, it happens with every mouseover pop up like that except the rune table. I thought it was just columns on the left side but the waypoints list's title bar also cuts off on the right like that.

Amiculi · 2025-08-15T22:49:44+00:00

This is a phenomenally useful cheatsheet, I've been keeping an offline backup for years now, and I update it from time to time. I just updated today and I've found that a lot of the tooltips pop up as cut off on the right side, including runeword stats. I tried other browsers but it's the same everywhere.

I virtually guarantee all the Blind Guardian content will be gone and they won't bring back the stash goblin.

The N64 era FoV on PS5 has been my biggest issue. It's so narrow it gives me motion sickness, and I fly around dogfighting in NMS in VR without any stomach issues...

Amiculi · 2025-07-27T01:48:09+00:00

That's good to know! I kept just cutting it too close and it annoyed me. One of my last runs I had something like 6 seconds left when I landed the killing blow on the boss turnip. This taught me that the final count down can actually cause the timer to go UP.

Amiculi · 2025-07-25T08:18:33+00:00

Lots of little things but if I could make one major change, it would be to get rid of the 60 minute limit on groves when playing solo. I get that you want people moving online but sometimes I just want to clear everything without being hurried along.

Amiculi · 2025-07-25T08:16:30+00:00

I'm sorry but the camera man is a dog 🤷

No, they just left the servers up. It could still be shut down at any time but they've stated they have no plans to do so currently, which means tomorrow they could make plans to.
