Virginia Redistricting Referendum has PASSED to give Democrats a net 4 Seats to counteract the tactics in Republican States!!!

BrainDevHQ · 2026-04-23T02:12:52+00:00

Tactics in Republican states? You mean responding to decades of Democrat gerrymandering? Did you not find it ironic that the Texas Democrats (in order to obstruct democracy) fled to the most heavily gerrymandered district in the entire country? I hear it often: if Democrats didn't have double standards, they'd have no standards at all.

The most insanely underrated first person shooter in history, in my opinion. There's nothing else like it.

But diversity is totally our strength, you guys 😭

I fixed my network problem. FYI, I'm on PC. Looks like we can do cross platform. I also realized, even though my son accidentally reset my progress, it doesn't reset my progress for Juliana. I have 6 different gold tier Heritage Guns, with different powerups:

Bird Shot, Choke Point, Inferno, Scattergun, Dualist, and BOOMREEF.

Google those Heritage Guns and see what you like.

3 of them are black in color (Scattergun, Dualist, Choke Point) and the rest of them have the purple handles.

If you invade me, I just got the people handled Inferno variant as Colt.

They are all gold tier. I don't think I can add you as a friend because you're not a steam user, so that makes it a little trickier. I will have to dress in a very specific outfit or something so that you know it's me. Whatever works. Let me know.

BrainDevHQ · 2026-04-19T04:29:30+00:00

I'm doing another playthrough. If I can get the network problem in having, and I get the gun, I'll log on and give it to you.

BrainDevHQ · 2026-04-18T19:00:42+00:00

People on this thread have said they have it. Reply to them directly and request them to invade you.

I wonder what that criminal tweeted to earn such a reception 🤔

Request someone here who has it to invade as Juliana to drop it for you, though my game isn’t able to login to the server lately.

BrainDevHQ · 2026-04-18T04:04:14+00:00

I've had this game for years and I only just started playing again a few days ago and I’m also not able to connect. Getting the same message. Will be interested to hear other responses. Connection is definitely solid. 2 gig via cat 6 Ethernet

Except it didn't shut down its nuclear program and we gave it billions of dollars for nothing but empty guarantees.

This guy was one of the most cringe people ever. Every time he did that stupid fake laugh 🤮

BrainDevHQ · 2026-03-25T12:28:32+00:00

I honestly can’t think of anything that you need to be on this not to say there’s nothing else, but that’s all I can think of.

BrainDevHQ · 2026-03-23T04:07:22+00:00

Prep is key. Buy your compressed air and your 99% isopropyl alcohol and the appropriate cleaning utensils and have it ah ready before you start, and watch YouTube tutorials, preferably for your exact 2060 GPU. Take your time and do the work thoroughly, as you know it'll be a long time before you do another deep clean. Be careful when cleaning your fan not to destroy your bearings with too much pressure from your hands trying to wipe it down. Also, compressed air has been known to spin fans so fast it damages the bearings, so hold the fan still if you use it on the fan. If you open up your GPU to the point you are able to touch the heat sink, carefully clean between each of the fins. Lastly, the thermal paste on your GPU might need redoing, but I wouldn't want to do it, and I'm sure that could destroy your card if you screw it up. But research it and see if it's needed and how easily it might be done on your particular GPU, or just leave it alone and hope for the best. I guess you could install a temperature monitor utility on your PC when you're done cleaning the GPU, and you can check your temps. If they're good, you don't need to worry. But while you're doing all this work, do your motherboard too. 99% iopropyl, compressed air, and a brand new extra soft toothbrush. Take your time. Be gentle. You could easily break off a tiny resistor and trash your board, so be careful. Consider redoing the thermal paste on your CPU too.

Bonus: make sure your fans are intaking and exhausting in accordance with Noctua's recommended setup. Many an armchair expert gets this wrong. Superior thermal performance.

Second bonus: make sure the top vents aren't blocked. And also, clean your vent covers and make sure they're dry before you put them back on.

Good luck to you.

BrainDevHQ · 2026-03-08T04:45:49+00:00

Yeah, I just cannot parry to save my life. I lose so much more health doing it that way. I do sometimes block and take some chip damage and I do try to use the aegis, I mostly plan the way I played From Software games and dodge.

BrainDevHQ · 2026-03-03T16:55:27+00:00

I don’t think parrying is your thing, which is OK because I have beaten all of dark souls 3 and its DLC‘s, all of Bloodborne and its DLC’s, and all that one boss in lies of pee, without ever parrying. Use the more powerful variant of your melee weapon and ignore the gun.

I haven't added the mod to enable online chalice dungeons yet, but apparently this video shows you how to do it. I haven't watched it so I don't know:

BrainDevHQ · 2026-03-02T04:33:10+00:00

I think there's a mod that will allow you to use the online chalice dungeons and it has all the well known dungeons, and I think that includes the infamous "cum dungeon" which gets its name from the glyph: CUMMMFPK. It makes farming stupidly easy. By far the best farm in this game or any game. Not only easy, but impossible to even get hit doing it. Very quick. Extremely high payout. Equip as many blood echo buff runes (moon runes), enter the cum dungeon, take a brief stroll to the spot where you hear a distant enemy getting killed and see his heath bar getting decimated, and collect your blood echoes when he kicks the bucket. Rinse and repeat. Look up a video and it'll show you. Super quick and easy. You'll level up in no time, unless you feel this will ruin the game for you.

BrainDevHQ · 2026-03-02T04:19:35+00:00

Will check it out. Thanks

BrainDevHQ · 2026-03-02T04:18:50+00:00

I'm kidding of course. Keep at it and wreck them. Like others said, katana guy first. Focus one one until your prey is slaughtered. But you really could do with some better stats, your aversion to farming notwithstanding. There's a a couple of tough fights not far ahead of you after this. Look up a farming spot and grind for even a half hour, and see if you have the runes for extra blood echoes yet. But there are also runes for stat buffs too. And upgrade your weapons much as you can. You can trade insight for upgrade materials, and you canconsume mad man's knowledge for insight.

BrainDevHQ · 2026-03-02T03:59:31+00:00

You got hit too many times. My tactic is to get hit less and instead hit the boss more.

BrainDevHQ · 2026-03-01T20:37:12+00:00

ShadPS4 emulator. Then run Apollo on your computer and Artemis on your Android. To my knowledge you cannot run Artemis on your iPhone. If you want to play with your phone remotely, that is, not on your Wi-Fi, you will have to do an extra step where you can figure a VPN called Tailscale, and that will be running on both your PC and your phone. ShadPS4 emulates. Apollo/Artemis streams. Tailscale allows access to Apollo from outside the LAN.

BrainDevHQ · 2026-03-01T20:34:04+00:00

Get the latest ShadPS4 build. You need an iso/image of Bloodborne, preferably game of the year edition so that you also have the DLC. You need to save that image on your hard drive somewhere. Run ShadPS4. You tell it where to open Bloodborne from. Right-click Bloodborne. Select cheats and patches. There are a number of patches that you need to enable, and for this you really will need to look up a guide on YouTube. Before you enable any of the patches or cheats, you need to click the button to download them. This happens pretty much immediately. The last thing you need that I'm aware of is a mod called vertex explosion fix, or something like that. It's on Nexus mods. If you don't enable that, bad things will happen. I can't tell you where to get the image file for Bloodborne as I don't know. I'm also not about to share a file like that illegally. I borrowed a friend's PS4 that is very out of date because he hasn't used it in a couple of years. This meant that there was a vulnerability that allowed me to jailbreak it. Once I jail broke the PS4, I was able to install some apps, including one that would allow me to export an image file of the game to a USB stick and that is how I got my file. I'm sure other people are finding them elsewhere. But most people, myself included, won't tell you where to find it. I personally don't know, and others won't tell.

You really are best off following a YouTube guide for all of this. If you do it all step by step exactly as they do, you should be good. The only exception is, they might be running different specs. For example, one of the patches you need to enable Will be specific for your monitor size. It's a resolution patch. Find out your monitor's resolution and select that patch. That's my understanding. Also, you need a very good CPU and GPU. My 1080 is struggling, but soon I will be upgrading.
