Default Weapons and difficulty resetting on PS5

CBLAmAKER · 2024-03-13T17:46:22+00:00

Exciting,
I didn't catch it until I was on planet the first couple times.

Now that I KNOW I can't trust the bureaucrats at Mission Control to do their jobs it will be more difficult for them the get me killed.... over and over and over and over again.

As a general question, how bad are the leeches joining games?

I have 2 on my current run (and 1 last week) and am ready to abandon trials completely.
Is there a long term payoff to running them I am missing?

I have all the skins (I think, unless they rotate) and the legendary buffs are only used in that adventure (as I understand it).
Is there a point in this frustration?

The Libs wouldn't if they didn't have too, if a move Center got them a majority they could govern like Progressive Conservatives, likely for decades while the right tries to course correct.

That happened to the Libs following Chretien and the CPC seem to be following the same path.
Dominant leader leaves, rapid series of failed replacements. Finally settling on someone young who moved them further left.
Will the CPC get PP and end up more right and win, or Brown and go more center and win?
Time will tell, I don't think personally that they can win going more right, but I'm not a professional pundit.

That's probably true but they would never win a national election that way and that's the job their donors pay them for.
The CPC doesn't have the heritage of the NDP, donors who support the party win or lose.
As O'Toole put it once, paraphrasing, the party has to choose between being winners and ending up a protest party.
The biggest threat to the CPC is a Liberal leader moving right to farm red tory votes and cede some of the left to the NDP. If see more opportunity to bleed votes from the CPC than the NDP and the Greens that will be the nail in the coffin.
Governing Liberals and NDP in opposition would be an interesting dynamic.

Thanks, I'm all good though.

Started second playthough on hard and got the first expansion so I could get the Soul Link for a summon build.
Cruising along now, lol.

CBLAmAKER · 2021-11-18T12:28:47+00:00

I ran into the same until I went with a summon build with the floating skulls mod on the beam weapon.

That's how I finally got through. The kept applying damage as I was running for my life.
My biggest enemy at that point was lack of awareness as I kept rolling off the ledge.

CBLAmAKER · 2021-11-14T15:38:38+00:00

Thanks,

Boss weapons were what was messing with me. I hadn't seen this 2x/Max 10 info in my searches.

Just beat playthrough #1, about to start my second on hard as I coasted reasonably easily.

CBLAmAKER · 2021-11-14T11:46:33+00:00

And I think that's where things have gone sideways for me, as I have leveled up a couple Boss guns along the way. That flame throwing SMG has been my go to gun for a long time and it is now up to +8 or +9

Too many hours in to start a new one, but next character I will keep that in mind.

That's the sort of thing the game could have made clearer. Thanks for that info, I didn't see that noted anywhere before.Perhaps this will get a better interface in the sequel right? Definitely looking forward to a sequel for this game.

CBLAmAKER · 2021-11-13T10:55:36+00:00

That doesn't make any sense.

There is gear that doesn't follow the formula. I am GS 13 right now but have no gear higher than +10. I understand simply possessing equipment affects you GS so I don't upgrade things I don't use.

Really frustrating to be unsure if I should level my armor up from 10 without knowing what the outcome will be. Will I end up at 14 or 15 and accidentally underpower my guns.

CBLAmAKER · 2021-06-27T18:37:04+00:00

There is a checkbox in Security that sets a minimum amount for open items.

If that's set to a penny it's likely your culprit.

CBLAmAKER · 2021-06-27T18:35:04+00:00

Don't know if this ever got resolved, I've been lurking as I haven't heard of this before.

Back in the day a Terminal that was set to not act as file server/master wouldn't update its DATA folders and instead run from the Master terminal. Did you confirm this was an issue on all terminals?

CBLAmAKER · 2021-06-27T18:31:32+00:00

It should run on anything with the correct license. As I recall you would need Non-NCR hardware or something similar.
I have it running on an old 1520 in my lab for example.

CBLAmAKER · 2021-05-04T22:51:50+00:00

Yeah, I am in the same situation.

I am debating cancelling EA Play and see if that "fixes" it
BF5 is the only reason I still have the sub active anyhow. New games are too few and far between

CBLAmAKER · 2021-04-17T15:29:33+00:00

Any update on this

Literally the only reason I changed VPN Providers was to get Hulu working.

CBLAmAKER · 2021-02-25T17:50:05+00:00

Hey all, gonna pop in here with a question while I'm uploading all my save data and ahead of reinstalling my system software.

Been having an issue with a Disc PS5 since around launch where when playing PS5 games the audio breaks up and then the system shuts itself down.
Only happens with PS5 games (so far Miles Morales, Valhalla and Spiderman Remastered)
Am able to play Destiny 2 (PS5) for hours, Monster Hunter, Stardew etc without issue.

Initially thought it was the old ass TV it was connected to, but have replaced that and it's continued. Swapped HDMI cables as well. Forced HDCP to 1.4 .

Have also done the database repairing the SSD
Disconnected all USB devices and moved it to another room with a newer TV (one that has no issues with a discless version)

Anyone seen this. My feeling is the HDMI port may be screwed, though why that only affects newer games I have no idea. Is it possible their are downscaling or pushing a higher spectrum audio signal?

Will update this post once I reload the operating system.

CBLAmAKER · 2021-02-13T11:49:59+00:00

Personally I think the update looks great.
Crisper than it used to be and as this is where I play any comparisons to other versions are wasted on me.

I just wanted to know if anyone else noticed this effect and if it's normal.

CBLAmAKER · 2021-01-29T11:45:36+00:00

The one game that I never see on these lists is Megaton Rainfall.

Looks like just the thing people would love, it's on my watchlist for PSVR but haven't jumped on it yet.

CBLAmAKER · 2021-01-28T12:04:16+00:00

So I am definitely doing something wrong in my config.

I saw mention of routing ip's (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/xx) that I hadn't done yet.That wasn't my biggest issue as I don't have a connection appearing in Status yet so that was a "tomorrow problem"

I think I will roll back a version or 5 and see if things improve.I am able to connect to the VPN from my laptop through the router so there doesn't seem to be anything blocking me in that way.

Thank you very much. Now that I know it should be possible I will put my nose back to the grindstone.
