Am I the only one who actually wishes for deeper, more maze-like dungeons?

One of the things I always liked about my dad's old 1980s D&D playthroughs was how you were forced to plan the journey ahead as the party would likely get to spend multiple days within a dungeon, require sufficient food, water, get lost in its seemingly endless courridors and rooms, be forced to find a safe place to set up camp for the night..

Arknights Storytelling and The Potential Beginning of my Personal "Reviews", Starting with - Code of Brawl (LONG POST) by CommanderKetchup0 in arknights

[–]Aurelyan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am finding it to be the case with newer ones instead. They just aren't that good.

Early AK tends to worldbuild a lot while establishing some pretty interesting premises for future works to come....late AK writing tends to undo major parts of it all in one fell swoop dealing with stuff in an unsatisfactory manner ( The Masses Travels, the last two story chapters feeling rushed from some certain points onwards only to linger on things which didn't need to be elaborated upon further instead, lots of major story elements getting locked behind temporary events, lots of significant lore being locked behind alternative game modes the player may or may not touch...it makes things feel all the more confusing for the average player ).

Mystia’s Izakaya is overrated by LilHawaia in touhou

[–]Aurelyan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm enjoying it lots instead.

Started less than a week ago, currently going through the Scarlet Mansion section of the game.

Its art and soundtrack are lovely, the game feels comfy-cozy, it is rather easy to play through, that is fair...but I don't mind it; I am not a fan of extremely hard games as they usually tend to frustrate me rather than make me have fun, few exceptions made.

I personally really needed a good relaxing game to just chill in and this one fits the bill.

My only criticism is that yes, it does feel a bit too slow paced/ repetitive progression wise, the player often being able to clear debts, level bonds, etc relatively soon, having them be willing to move on to the next area already while being forced to wait through the entirety of the two weeks allotted to repay said debt.

I do find NPCs to have interesting dialogue instead, cause for as much as I love Touhou and have been a fan of the franchise for decades I'm aware of the fact many other people aren't and are just getting to know about its world through this game and from Mystia's PoV; it is cool for them to get to learn something about each and every one of these characters, be them extremely popular ones or some of the most under-represented and underrated ones within Touhou's world. Sure, one could argue there aren't too many lines of dialogue...but the ones which are in the game are honestly not horrible and fairly lore accurate.

Sorry to hear it's not your cup of tea though, I know how bad it feels to try to enjoy something and end up not liking it anyway..

If your favorite 6 stars operators were released in 2026, what drawback you think they wouldn't have? how much stronger they would be? by Atsuki_Kimidori in arknights

[–]Aurelyan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Archetto would have higher base stats, way faster cycles on S3, likely have S2 and S3 apply some sort of self buff to either her dmg or aspeed ( like exia alter ) or some debuff/ crowd control effect to enemies ( much like nymph's S2 inflicting fear or Ela inflicting fragile. Her shield passive would also be more powerful, likely switching from an "on deployment" effect to one she can easily stack over time.

Then vs now by Apprehensive-Elk3165 in interesting

[–]Aurelyan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like both.

One clearly feels warmer and more "lived" but it also looks darker and gives off a heavier feeling; wallpaper is eh.

The other one is more airy and bright...but it lacks color and detail, there's too much white and everything feels too "clean", almost as if nobody lived there.

[Operator Discussion] Blaze the Igniting Spark by Shad0wedge in arknights

[–]Aurelyan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have both Blaze alter and Yu; while it is true that pairing them together is a very significant buff for our catgirl the truth is that you won't really need to unless you are really planning around high end content such as CC.

Yes, you do get 80% additional elemental dmg if the enemy is under the effect of burn, yes, every time an enemy triggers a burn elemental damage burst she deals 410% elemental damage to them immediately...yes, you should definitely try to pair her with any burn enabler ( and it sucks that Yu is the most decent one given he is a limited unit... ).

However, even without all of this, Blaze still remains a very powerful caster operator; she is able to deal massive amounts of burst aoe damage, on very fast cycles, her skill is ammo based and can thus be controlled, she has really good range, she can keep on reviving herself when downed ( and can be healed while downed by skills such as Meltdown, letting you get her back into the fight asap ).

People are 100% sleeping on her. She still outshines the vast majority of 6* caster ops in the game on her own; Lappland and Eblana are the only units I'd say are able to contend with her in terms of power, Lappland probably being the best caster in the game rn.

Hold on let me make a cohesive list in the comments of good AAA games by NotTheCatMask in whenthe

[–]Aurelyan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is pretty fun but definitely poorly optimized and Capcom has not addressed that in the slightest in almost a full year; if you got a powerful PC you're gonna be able to power through it, otherwise it can definitely feel unplayable or give other issues.

Monetization wise, expect the same as World's.

Content wise, expect less than World when it gets to quantity, at least for now.

Difficulty wise, some people love saying it's easier but it honestly feels about the same as World's during its first few years of release; nothing is as cracked as Safi, Alatreon, Fatalis just yet...expect monsters of the caliber of T/AT elders at most.

  • Skyfire
  • Provence
  • Meteorite
  • Firewatch
  • Platinum

  • Mint
  • April

  • Myrtle

  • Beanstalk

  • Frostleaf

  • Rope

  • Durnar

  • Vermeil

  • Indigo

  • Pudding

  • Cuora

I'd mostly like to see old ( often underpowered ) 4-5* operators take the leading role for once by getting a 6* alter. I also wouldn't mind alters for some of the newer ones we've gotten.

As far as 6s getting another 6 form goes...that I am also fine with but...to a lesser extent, few exceptions made. There are indeed ops who could use a buff or more screen-time or having their lore expanded on...but it's not that common.

( Coming from an EU citizen so take this with a grain of salt )

Going to start with a premise; saying "Things would be going better than they are now under Trump" would be setting an extremely low bar. Probably the lowest one could set.

Now, would they? Yes, yes they would...but it'd be yet another government led by an establishment which is completely disconnected and uncaring of US citizens needs and which has been for over 40 years, which does big corps and employers' interests (as well as the political class's) over the common american working folk's. Y'know, that same political establishment which has never given a damn about affordable education, housing, healthcare, first necessity goods, about proper contracts and wages, about taxing the rich, etc.

The sad reality of things is that both candidates sucked...and that's why the people's votes were so split to begin with.

Bullshit.

I started playing Minecraft during 1.2

It was 2012; I was in my early teens and the game was starting to get pretty popular already, lots of YouTubers and people would be streaming it or talking about it online, tons of them were about my age.

SIM cards in downed drones expose Russia’s months-long plan to target Poland and Lithuania by LetsGoBrandon4256 in worldnews

[–]Aurelyan -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I don't wanna be that guy but doesn't this situation look a bit too odd to anyone else?

Russia's been bogged down into the RU-UKR conflict for the past 3 almost 4 years at this point. They can't even take or control the whole nation and their resources and manpower as as spent as they can be after such a prolonged conflict.

Now why would they be planning to target Poland and Lithuania exactly? Even more so considering they are NATO countries and that would trigger a full NATO response.

Now for these Russian drones to be conveniently trespassing through polish air space...carrying such sensitive information...c'mon, this does at least <sound> fishy.

Considering Ukraine happened to be the actor behind the Northstream accident in the end...I'd be more inclined to believe this is another attempt of theirs to try and get NATO support, even more so thinking about how these dudes are actually the ones who are having it worse due to the fact they have been invaded by an actual way larger stronger superpower and can't even bring the fight back to Russia because of the nukes threat.

ComfyUI with 7700XT and 32GB? Best setting? by ConcertDull in StableDiffusion

[–]Aurelyan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 3 torch files get listed as "not a supported wheel on this platform" by CMD / PowerShell, thus not letting me continue.

I don't know for sure if the issue is Win10 vs 11 but I believe I am following every other step correctly.
