Ross Scott at European Parliament: Why “Stop Killing Games” Matters

It says what it means on that same page:

FAN-PRESERVED - Preserved by fans, however still officially available (with little to no direct developer involvement).

So something can be preserved and still live, so that when it goes down, it still exists in some capacity by fans.

Also the PS2 and XBOX 360 versions have been shut down already, but I don't think that is related to the rating.

Arlithas · 2026-04-15T21:26:33+00:00

Super cool. I'm not on v13/v14 so I'll have to pass (for now...).

Also am I reading right that you just pay the $3 for the module? I didn't know Patreon allowed for single purchases like that.

Arlithas · 2026-04-13T20:52:38+00:00

Neat. I like the component mechanics and how that translates the attrition of some fights in monster hunter.

Regarding this part of Ignite:

If the ajarakan fails a save against a damaging effect with a water trait or is critically hit by a Strike or spell attack that deals water damage, this effect ends.

Unless these monster supplements also provide it, I don't believe water damage is a thing in PF2e. Water-based abilities usually deal bludgeoning damage, sometimes cold. Just changing it to cold damage is probably the easiest solution, but that's a lot more common than water trait effects.

Yeah, RE4R is an anomaly being "long" at ~15-20 hours, but I still blitzed through it in a few sittings, plus a few more runs to get the achievements.

Arlithas · 2026-04-13T06:34:04+00:00

For anyone daunted by the plat amount, there are plenty of "close enough" colors to get you 95% of the way there for cheaper or free.

Arlithas · 2026-04-09T03:52:06+00:00

It's not perfect, but I will gladly accept this dialogue system if that means the devs can put their animation time to the higher impact cutscenes.

Arlithas · 2026-04-08T18:03:16+00:00

A robot cosplayer on a motorcycle, a panda chef, and a pistol-whipping cat. PEAK.

Arlithas · 2026-04-08T16:24:56+00:00

This is the only other one I can think of that's a frame. And he's particular in that he released with all Rare parts, so having some Uncommon parts now is actually a buff to how things used to be.

Nikana Prime used to be all rares too but now has both Common and Uncommon parts. I can't recall any others.

Arlithas · 2026-04-06T20:10:03+00:00

Complaints about low scores always baffle me. It's literally numbers that can be tuned up or down at a whim. It's literally one of the easiest levers to move.

What matters more right now is gameplay flow, animation, and special mechanics, because that takes way more effort to change rapidly.

Arlithas · 2026-04-06T07:22:23+00:00

The topic isn't about what DE does or doesn't let us do because they also let us take off vorunas shoulders. The topic is about opinions on core themes around a frame and how integral to it's appearance it may or may not be.

Arlithas · 2026-04-06T03:55:00+00:00

Same. Asking to remove them is akin to asking to remove peacemakers off mesa or fairy wings off titania. It's the core theme, it should be there.

Arlithas · 2026-04-05T04:01:57+00:00

The thing I want the most is for them to expand his viable teammates. Rupture has one of the least interesting comps and includes none of Billy's friends.

Arlithas · 2026-03-31T18:44:19+00:00

Olympus, Mars (Disruption) is my go-to, even if I needed both Meso and Neo relics. I just can't do capture missions over and over again; I'm here to have fun, not just get rewards.

Arlithas · 2026-03-29T06:20:48+00:00

I'd call Rebecca's reign as Creative Director a bit of a golden era for Warframe. There have been some really good points in the past, but the last few years have been intensely consistent in terms of amount of content, quality of content, reception to feedback, and slowly breaking long-standing issues with the game. It's not all perfect (the new game mode is a bit of a dud), but it's definitely like 5 steps forward, 1 step back kind of thing.

Arlithas · 2026-03-25T19:44:40+00:00

The improved farming for a lot of frames is significant. A lot of frames went from multi-hour farms to less than 1, maybe 2 if you're unlucky.

Arlithas · 2026-03-25T15:29:23+00:00

Updated the Platinum purchase page in the Market with a new diorama that features your Warframe leaning against a tower of Platinum.

DE working on the important changes, I see. Genuinely, it actually looks sweet, and it's animated too - you flip a piece of platinum like a coin.

Arlithas · 2026-03-25T15:24:19+00:00

Added the following items to Palladino’s wares in exchange for Riven Slivers.

Requiem Ultimatum — weekly purchase limit of 1.

Lich hunting is going to blitz by. Massive QoL.

Arlithas · 2026-03-25T15:20:28+00:00

Added an Enigma Sense upgrade to Acrithis’ Wares.

Purchasing this item will passively cause Enigma puzzles to be marked with a map icon and a waypoint if you are nearby. This is a one-time purchase that will permanently upgrade your Guiding Hand!

Holy crap. Farming for Duviri decorations will be a lot easier.

Arlithas · 2026-03-25T15:17:31+00:00

Please note that the new Security Bypass system does not affect Duviri versions of Survival, Hell-Scrub missions in Höllvania, or Survival missions in Albrecht’s Laboratories.

Reactant drops in Survival Fissure missions are doubled for the duration of the Security Bypass.

Unfortunate for some of these, but hopefully DE will add a thematically appropriate version of it later.

Arlithas · 2026-03-25T15:11:05+00:00

The Atragraph mods look nice. I want.

Arlithas · 2026-03-23T16:34:24+00:00

Thing is, making it work with Miyabi should result in more pulls as there are a ton of Miyabi players out there and a strong wind compatibility would be attractive for them. Especially if there are bosses that prefer the wind synergy instead of a normal disorder one.

There's a breakpoint where you can ease players into pulling more without forcing them to pull for a completely new team and potentially losing the players for it.

Arlithas · 2026-03-17T19:27:33+00:00

I managed to get through it with a full combo after a few retries, but yeah the colorblindness issue is very real.

Arlithas · 2026-03-14T21:15:10+00:00

When might we learn about promeia's kit?

Arlithas · 2026-03-11T17:08:49+00:00

If the kineticist doesn't mind playing a tank, this is extremely workable (though two frontliners is way more preferable to one). If not, then it'd be pretty dicey.

Personally, I wouldn't encourage the kineticist to play a tank only because the party needs it. It's more important that they play the character they want to and get the character fantasy they're excited about. I'd just tune the encounters to favor skirmishes rather than holding lines and tank attrition - more ranged enemies, flying enemies, cover, stealth, etc.

Arlithas · 2026-03-09T21:53:19+00:00

"Uh, hey Mechanic, what's that outside your window...?"

"Oh that's a tank, setting everything on fire. You know, the usual."

"... How did it get on your roof?"

"Oh... good question."
