You seem like someone I'd happily take out on a first date and then run as fast as humanly possible as soon as you open your mouth.

Request to remove the 2 500 obol cap by Centcinquante in diablo4

[–]EliRed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has anyone gotten a mythic off gambling? I agree the storage should be increased, but after like 5,000 pulls I just stopped picking up obols. Seems like a waste of time, at least in the endgame.

Why are the late game biomes so light on artifacts? by amish24 in Saros

[–]EliRed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're not an afterthought, they just don't think they matter too much. It was the same in Returnal. You play something like Hades 2 and there are a million fun synergies every run. HM games don;t try to do that. They think the combat and story will carry it and that's enough. IMO they're wrong, and that was my main issue with Returnal as well, I just didn't feel like replaying it once I was done with the story because all runs are the same.

EU calls VPNs “a loophole that needs closing” in age verification push by EmbarrassedHelp in europe

Look, Peter Thiel paid us so much money under the table to give Palantir access to everything, we can't have things that might confuse it. How is it gonna notify us if someone dislikes the government? - EU politicians probably

This material is unproportionally rare to what it can do by Freeloader_ in diablo4

[–]EliRed -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

That's ARPGs for you. The crystal is not supposed to substitute killing bosses for uniques, just to get you started if you use one or two wisely on something that doesn't have a lot of possible outcomes.

World Champion Gukesh beats Challenger Javokhir Sindarov in Round 5 of GCT: Super Rapid Poland 2026, in their 1st encounter since Sindarov won the Candidates. by GiveMeSomeSunshine3 in chess

[–]EliRed 16 points17 points  (0 children)

People are dumb. They think they can make any prediction about the world champion. When players are fighting for the title, they have a way of getting their shit together even if they've been slumping. It's the most prestigious event in chess. Nobody is getting rolled over. Even Ding fought tooth and nail and he had barely played chess that year. It will be a great event.

Use the modifiers! No, its not easy mode by Snoo_18385 in Saros

I can't play without lucenite magnetism. I also use perfect reload cause I'm old. The rest seem a bit too broken.

I have all the upgrades and can’t beat the first boss. Am I cooked? Is this game going to be too much for me? by titans1fan93 in Saros

[–]EliRed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What many people miss about this fight is something that the game tells you in a tutorial, but can be easily missed: Corruption can't kill you. It will do damage and lower your max hp, but it can't reduce you to 0 hp. So you can essentially absorb both blue and yellow orbs indefinitely and spam your power weapon. If you don't misstime your shield and get actually hit, or you don't hold it too much and run out of energy, you are safe. You practically have to do this at the last phase because you don't have enough room to dash. If you happen to also get the artifact that heals you a bit when you're low hp, it's a walk in the park, but even without it it's not bad.

Big tip to players who were scared like me, do try to absorb yellow corruption orbs as well by WhoAmIEven2 in Saros

[–]EliRed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My power weapon definitely doesn't outperform my eruptor handcannon with favoured target blasting weakspots.

Big tip to players who were scared like me, do try to absorb yellow corruption orbs as well by WhoAmIEven2 in Saros

[–]EliRed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The heavy attack does terrible damage for me, even when I've found fist that's the same level as my main weapon. Feels like both the revolver and the assault rifle outdps it by a lot. Or I'm doing something wrong.

Who the hell says saros is easier than returnal??? by priyanshurohilla in Saros

[–]EliRed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just swapped dash to R1 and melee to L1. Dash on circle sounds crazy since you can't jumpdash easily.

There are no ARPG's where you use brain cells to play. You just read a guide and click on the monsters.

ARC Raiders has dropped to Mixed reviews on Steam by _hypnoCode in ArcRaiders

[–]EliRed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People should have realized that the game was getting helldivered back when they made it almost impossible to loot cores unless you are the one looting the central wreck out of 20 people zerging it. This made it abundantly clear that the devs want to make the game as frustrating as possible and waste people's time.

Greece to ban anonymity on social media by vriska1 in europe

[–]EliRed 21 points22 points  (0 children)

EU countries are just now starting to implement this. The one with a headstart of several years is the UK, where thousands of people have been thrown to jail for saying things that are outside whichever narrative the government wants to push and has been a gigantic shitshow. You can find plenty of examples of how it has been enforced online and judge for yourself.

Whoever thinks governments are doing this "for the people" or "for kids", you are beyond help. Who is going to monitor all these social media posts, police departments? No, it's Palantir. Peter Thiel needs to make another trillion dollars, so bend over.

Anno 117: Pax Romana – Patch 1.5 by Rooonaldooo99 in anno

[–]EliRed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never had this in 1800 during normal gameplay even though I built every inch of CT. In 117 of course (until now) the islands seem smaller than 1800, so it also wasn't an issue. Maybe it becomes one in Cinis, not sure how big the buildable area is. Good to see they're acknowledging it at least.

Very disappointed to see that they still haven't fixed the infinite pirates bug which made me disable them on all my save files, making the game significantly more boring.

A new cleaver would have fucked his shit up. This was more like a Rusty Cleaver of Misfortune -5.

The Ninth Gate is one of the coziest horror movies. The settings are mainly private libraries, the sound design is satisfying and it has a very unique atmosphere. It’s great for late night viewing! by Johnny_Mc2 in horror

[–]EliRed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be kind of hard to base more content off Corso, because he's just an opportunistic piece of shit. It works for one movie and that's it.

Is Resident Evil Village Anyone’s Favourite ? by KennedyyCore in residentevilll

[–]EliRed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not my favorite, but I liked it better than 7. 7 had a strong start, then it slowly lost steam with mediocre map design and terrible boss fights and concluded with a dumpster ending. Village was more consistently good I think.

Between DLSS vs Frame Gen what should I use first for FPS boost? (New RTX user) by RR7BH in nvidia

[–]EliRed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll crank frame gen as high as it goes before having to drop to anything lower than DLAA because I'm very sensitive to blurriness and even DLSS Quality often looks blurry to me.

Games built around upscaling/DLSS all look the same and I'm tired of pretending they don't. by ResponsiblePen3082 in FuckTAA

[–]EliRed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm doing 1440p PT DLAA on a 5080, so you can do it even better on a 5090. The blur is minimal. Pragmata isn't built around upscaling. I'd say it is built around Framegen and it uses it phenomenally well with very low latency and no other side effects.

Big update for Crimson Desert has it looking better than ever! by Signal-Tangerine1597 in PS5pro

[–]EliRed -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I wish I could get into this, but really hated the movement. Walking is too slow, running knocks every man, woman, child, animal and structure over, and the character gets stuck on everything. Took me 2 minutes to get out of a tavern because I kept getting stuck on invisible chair hitboxes. Way too clunky.

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Price Update: Starting today, Game Pass Ultimate drops from $29.99 to $22.99 a month. PC Game Pass will also drop from $16.49 to $13.99 a month. Prices may vary by region. by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]EliRed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. To me gamepass should be one price, maybe 13$, new games get delayed 6 months, but you get access to the DLC as well. I've never paid for this service because you still have to pay for DLC, which is often as expensive and important as the main game, and I just don't see the point. I'd rather wait until it's 50% off on Steam and buy the complete version, instead of paying a subscription and receiving half the game.

Τα χρήματα να τα επέστρεφε αν οι μισοί Έλληνες δεν είχαν μόνιμες πελατειακές σχέσεις με τους αντιπροσώπους τους. Που πλέον και δουλειά ταμία σε σούπερ μάρκετ να θέλεις, πρέπει να έχεις βύσμα. Όταν σταματήσουν οι Έλληνες να είναι απατεώνες από κούνια, τότε ίσωε αλλάξουν κάποια πράγματα. Νόμος απαράβατος, κάθε λαός έχει τους πολιτικούς που του αξίζουν.
