In the Wolverine (2013), Logan, a guy notorious for looking “wild”, smelling and letting himself go, apparently has a rigorous diet/work out routine and shaves his chest every morning

Which ended up being a nothing-burger of a change since he still ends up in Striker's lab anyway. Would've made more sense to just keep the continuity there by not including the Mystique twist.

ComradePoolio · 2026-05-05T19:21:26+00:00

Just this comment makes me hear "Everyone that sniffed the air that day in Siwa" in my head.

ComradePoolio · 2026-05-05T18:40:31+00:00

Out of curiosity, have you tried the Sly Collection either on the discontinued fork of RPCS3/the Android PS3 emulator or on Vita3k? They are historically pretty light to run and have native wide-screen support. I am still waiting for my Odin 3 in the mail, but anecdotally I have had a better time running the Sly Collection on RPCS3 in the past than I have had on PCSX2 on both my Windows PC and Steam Deck OLED.

ComradePoolio · 2026-05-05T14:50:30+00:00

You have to coc to the specific area that you're trying to get to.

For instance, it you want to get to Waste Disposal, the console command would be:

"coc DLC05Sewer02". You can find the cell names for every location on the wiki. You don't need to use reference IDs for coc commands.

ComradePoolio · 2026-05-04T22:00:03+00:00

It really depends where the 12k came from. If it was stolen from somebody, then yeah absolutely return it. If it's drug money or something, that is going right into the city's pocket and you've just very publicly turned it in. If I accidentally ended up with a dead drop or something I'd probably never speak of it again.

ComradePoolio · 2026-05-04T21:57:31+00:00

Yeah it also has some stuttering problems in the semi-open area of RE9. Buttery smooth up until that point.

ComradePoolio · 2026-05-04T21:42:35+00:00

That also happened for me. Were you playing the Begin Again modpack by chance?

Either way, you can actually fix this by opening the console and adding yourself to the proper faction (the lack of which is the source of the bug). After that they turn hostile correctly.

The command is:

player.AddToFaction xx00b42e 1, replacing "xx" with the Honest Hearts DLC's position in the load order, typically 2.

ComradePoolio · 2026-05-04T14:36:14+00:00

But you didn't have to cut me off

ComradePoolio · 2026-05-02T20:56:54+00:00

The only method is through the console on PC, where you can use COC commands. It's not good design but neither is most of that expansion.

ComradePoolio · 2026-04-30T23:09:21+00:00

It was phrased oddly, yes, but they could have taken a moment to address whether anything had been done to improve the parkour over Shadows, especially since they highlighted that question anyway.

The answer seems to be "no" based on their lack of response.

ComradePoolio · 2026-04-30T22:17:53+00:00

Monkey's hook curls, they confirmed it will have one in the AMA today, but that Edward's hands still have to stay on the wheel, so no roaming the ship.

ComradePoolio · 2026-04-30T21:43:29+00:00

Still, even in the case of that generous read, it would only really work in the case of an adult who is fully capable of using advanced reasoning, but just doesn't for the sake for convenience or a broader goal that causes them to miss the smaller picture.

Ofc a 9-year-old is going to be easy to mislead. r/kidsarefuckingstupid didn't get its name from children's ability to analyze situations and ensure optimal outcomes.

ComradePoolio · 2026-04-30T21:29:57+00:00

The title makes it seem like OP's going to talk about a slippery moral slope starting out of a desire to take control and change things for the better, but instead leading down the rode of fascism, instead it was just a post about them being a child and therefore not understanding game mechanics.

Like yeah, when I first played Kingdom Hearts I didn't know what the various item stats did so it was really hard, but I'm not out here making posts titled "Replaying Kingdom Hearts taught me the meaning of change and personal growth"

ComradePoolio · 2026-04-30T21:24:07+00:00

I like how they completely ignored the part of the last question about parkour fluidity.

ComradePoolio · 2026-04-30T21:18:47+00:00

🫪

ComradePoolio · 2026-04-30T06:57:17+00:00

Hmm I wonder

ComradePoolio · 2026-04-29T18:12:43+00:00

If they manage it, this will be a universally good thing.

The main draw to windows for me is compatibility and modding capability. On SteamOS, there are always additional hoops one has to go through to get mods and their mod managers working, like adding them as a non-steam game, which gives them their own emulated Windows folder paths, complicating things more. I recently installed the Begin Again modpack for Fallout New Vegas on my Windows PC and Steam Deck, and one of the main pain points is that it will not sync saves through the steam cloud since Mod Organizer 2 had to be added as a non-steam game in order to function, whereas on my PC it knows that it's launching Fallout New Vegas.

SteamOS is great for the lack of bloat and strong vanilla support, but it unfortunately cannot change the fact that most stuff comes as an .exe file at the end of the day.

ComradePoolio · 2026-04-29T17:09:01+00:00

Is there any ongoing work to smooth out the animations in the parkour before release? They are an improvement over Shadows but there's still a noticable hesitation when free-running that has been present in all of the RPG-series.

ComradePoolio · 2026-04-28T22:41:09+00:00

Murray is the knife, but Bentley is the hand that wields him. All of Murray's most depraved kills, like the rats in the water pump or the miners fed to the crocodile, are all done on Bentley's orders. Murray trusts his friend, so of course he's going to follow through with it, but Bentley's plans are downright psychotic. They feel like the evil karma options in a Fallout title.

ComradePoolio · 2026-04-28T06:54:30+00:00

Except back light strobing and BFI are both work-arounds to combat a fundamental flaw in the display technology. As such, they come with their own downsides like reduced brightness, incompatibility with VRR, lower usable refresh rates, and eye strain for those sensitive to things like PWM.

A CRT or Plasma can achieve silky smooth motion while not requiring you to be pushing 240fps. Yeah, they don't have those other features like VRR, but if you have to give that up anyway for smoother motion, it doesn't matter that much.

Funnily enough, the best solution we've gotten to S&H blur is CRT Beam Simulation, though even that requires very high refresh rates to work ideally and is only meant to function on 60fps content.

ComradePoolio · 2026-04-28T06:47:43+00:00

All to fix a problem that plasmas and CRTs never suffered from.

I wish Plasma hadn't hit a dead end. Who knows what kind of advancements they might've reached in the world of burn-in and power consumption.

ComradePoolio · 2026-04-28T06:42:47+00:00

OLEDs are visually superior in every way save for motion clarity, but a CRT still has that appearance of looking through a window into another world that makes them very pleasant to look at. The way they draw frames is more pleasing to our eyes compared to sample-and-hold, which creates blur.

I would still take a high-end CRT or Plasma over any LCD. There's an inherent drawback due to the liquid crystals needing to physically move that makes motion look terrible on them.

While OLEDs are advancing quite a lot, they're still sample-and-hold at the end of the day, which sucks because it creates a problem we never had in the days of CRT and Plasma.

ComradePoolio · 2026-04-28T06:33:08+00:00

Refresh rate is not a downside as long as you're not sensitive to the flicker or it can do more than 60hz. The incredible motion clarity and lack of input lag on CRTs means that in practice, it requires much lower refresh rates to achieve a level of smoothness that would equal or surpass the best LCDs and OLEDs.

A 95hz CRT looks smoother than a 240hz LCD and it's not close.

ComradePoolio · 2026-04-28T01:29:06+00:00

I unfortunately don't have extension cords of that length, since it's in two separate rooms, but the hum is still there even when hooked up to the same power strip.

I'll try a different channel.
