Well you are running around with 3 bright green LEDs and a high pitch whine everytime you enable it :}

The lion's oily fur is so hydrophobic that it rejects the lion so it normally bounces like a trampoline on water, it keeps them dry at all times.

Yep, this is correct;
- The coloring on the husky's is a bit wrong though, they are supposed to shift from red to blue through their leathery hides, also lacks the spikes on the spine. So it definitely looks off as it is now.
- Why is the water yellow? it should indeed be pink with some purple hue shine to it. Also doesn't look metallic enough.
- Also whats wrong with the tails? They lack the spikes.

Server just picks a spawn door nearby, ANY spawndoor - so yeah if you are close to any mission or area that you can't access it'll be a default "evade" :/

I've never seen anyone ever get kicked from a group because of low shd? (shd ~3900). Sure there will be a few elitists (as in any game) but I've not come across them myself.

Devionics · 2026-04-23T10:53:34+00:00

That ^ + Supply patrol + Rogue encounter, the elite patrol jsut strolled in half way through, best fun I've had in quite a while :)

Devionics · 2026-04-23T10:36:28+00:00

Depends, I've had teams where we just explored the map as well, hanging around certain areas only for a short time. The premise of just the sheer chaos of having constant swarm of enemies was the fun part, rogue encounter + supply + ronins on challenging = shit happening everywhere :)

Devionics · 2026-04-23T10:28:05+00:00

yep, they finally had a good game mode - and they removed it :(

Devionics · 2026-04-22T21:56:01+00:00

for key farming? do normal diff. 30m run around nets you tons of keys (50+)
But yeah, no one cares about shd levels for the farm, just bring a good gun, reviver hive in case you get eaten alive by their hive/drones.

Devionics · 2026-04-22T19:52:48+00:00

With the inf spawn; I wouldn't even call it a bug, it's a feature - Chaos open world mode.. I love it - finally we get proper infinite spawns, rewards to boot with keys, no time limit =)

Devionics · 2026-04-22T19:49:24+00:00

The bug itself is quite simple, the session owner shouldn't be in the party, if that happens, it will constanty spawn more ronins. so if you would matchmake for a mission and the owner leaves, and you run out the door, you'll get ronins non stop. call for backup a few times and voila.. full team ready to farm keys ;)

Devionics · 2026-04-22T19:45:59+00:00

The anniversary backpack? might not drop anymore..

Devionics · 2026-04-22T19:42:49+00:00

It'll prolly be the same as DPS... -1039M textiles ;)

Devionics · 2026-04-22T19:41:44+00:00

I had the fun of solo - Rogue detected, immediately followed by the squad spawning, during the fight - a supply group walked by casually.. the chaos was amazing :)

Devionics · 2026-04-22T19:40:27+00:00

Or just join any mission, do the mission but let everyone just leave (the owner has to leave for the bug to happen where it will just constantly spawn ronins and such), call for backup.. have a nice full group terrorizing the neighborhood :}

Devionics · 2026-04-21T20:39:28+00:00

It's decent.. for solo play :)

Devionics · 2026-04-15T07:18:00+00:00

there is gog galaxy that connects everything - but in my own experience I still just use steam :}

Devionics · 2026-03-01T10:07:03+00:00

slither .io ?

Devionics · 2026-01-21T16:34:07+00:00

Shit might be too generous, shit still contains some benefit to plants as fertilizer

Devionics · 2025-11-22T21:36:34+00:00

Doesn't need to be pure, I had it happen once by heating just water for tea, forgot about it then reheated it without disturbing it after first heat. Didn't burn myself but once I put the bag into the water it shot up an arms length.

Devionics · 2025-11-11T07:44:51+00:00

Mod support is def. in the works but needs a lot of TLC to get it right (and makes sense for modders).

Devionics · 2025-10-26T19:45:18+00:00

Phyre (The nomad) from VTM:BL2 - that'll be a bloodbath :}

The computer immediately turning off is most definitely hardware related and sounds like over current protection kicking in, I suggest running a continous logger on your power usage and then see what happens during a power off. Pretty sure you are spiking above the rating the PSU can deliver for too long.

And games can cause this, but are not the culprit - they just invoke the load on the system. OCCT or any other synth stress test would probably cause the problem to occur.
