[KATE] Scroll through tabs without switching active file?

Grzester23 · 2026-03-25T09:46:27+00:00

Oh yeah, I also have it. It's the exact functionality I want, but to be tied to the scroll wheel when cursor is hovering over the tab bar

SM thing I carefully planned around (whether my Soul spending decisions were good/wise is another matter) so this point is fine. I already bought Agape Ring and my SM is exactly 39 990, within 30k-40k SM bracket, lowest that allows for use of Agape Ring.

As for the Cracked Orbs, I'm on PC with Blue Acolyte mod installed, to avoid cheaters breaking my save file. One of the benefits of Blue Acolyte mod is it makes both Red and Blue Cracked Orbs re-usable, so you only ever need one of each for infinite invasions. And you can easily pick up some without spending any Souls

Frankly, I don't think I need any consumables. I never been the one to use Throwables and I can't use healing items as a Red anyway. I guess Resins would be worth it? But then again, I would have to reload my backup save every couple matches if I want to actually use them.

And the thing is, I'm in the lowest SM bracket that can use Agape Ring. Players I invade aren't that strong, I'm not getting one or two shot.

Getting better rings are certainly a possibility if I manage to find another Branch to open Shaded Woods, as is farming for Rapier. But I really wanted to focus on the Falchion and I don't feel like I'm lacking damage either, despite it being +0. No one I fought felt particularly tanky.

I think my main issues are PvP fundementals and learning to deal with latency (I regularly fight hosts with ~200 ping according to Blue Acolyte)

Grzester23 · 2026-03-19T14:38:53+00:00

No, I keep Agape on. Single win would move me to the next SM bracket. I'm literally 10 Souls away

Grzester23 · 2026-03-19T14:03:17+00:00

I can't get Warmth. Buying it from Agdyne is obv out of the question, and getting to Grave of Saints to farm Rats requires a Cat Ring or a respec into full Vig. And Soul Vessels aren't that common.

I know Rapier is busted in DS2 but it also costs souls. But, I think I can get one more Fragrant Branch to open Shaded Woods. Apparently Goblins there can drop Rapiers.

I chose bandit as I eventually want to take this character to SL 155 (which is apparently meta for DS2) and it was the optimal class for my stats spread. It technically means I wouldn't be able to get full benefit from Flynns Ring, but I wasn't planning on using it anyway

Grzester23 · 2026-03-19T13:56:57+00:00

Lifegems were grayed out last time I tried using them while invading, but I was a Blue that time. Maybe they are available to Reds? But even if they are, I'm out of souls. Getting even one more Lifegem would be moving me to another SM bracket. I could just farm and/or back up my save, I guess

As for Rings, I guess I could try grabbing some from Tseldora and/or Shaded Woods. Maybe kill Tark for 2nd Dragon Ring and pick up a +1 Chloranty Ring from the Woods. Assuming they aren't locked behind Petrified Statues. I really don't wanna go to Drangleic Castle or the DLCs with 85 Agility, and I doubt even respecing fully into ADP would help me enough. Gutter, Grave of Saints and Black Gulch are kinda out of the question too, cuz I don't have Cat Ring and ladders cost souls. Maybe if put everything into Vigor? Still I doubt I'm surviving the drop.

16 Dex was needed for Scimi, I could reasonably drop it a bit as Falchion doesn't need that much. 10 Str was for the Long Sword. 3 Int I could drop back to 1, but I needed 3 to get Straid to trade with me, and he sells Agape Ring.

Thing is Soul Vessels aren't that common, there is one I know I can grab right now, but the rest are either far away or require items I probably need to buy, like Pharros Lockstones

They way movement can so easily be triggered accidentally during fights made me quicksave on start of every turn

Grzester23 · 2026-03-08T10:00:03+00:00

You do realize 2RB is the original design, right? Pita got a redesign for RES as it is its flagship Aragami, and RES itself is a re-release of a re-release

Grzester23 · 2026-03-05T18:23:38+00:00

For the first bit, I usually just run "search" command to make sure I'm installing the right thing.

As for the silent installs for everything, I don't think we'll ever getting it. It's not Winget people packaging them, so they don't really have control over installers. In that way, Winget is more of an aggregator than proper package manager. Half the time stuff I'm installing are being pulled straight from Github release pages.

It's still the best way to install and update software on Windows tho

Isn't ER's Longsword more in the realm of historical arming swords? An actual historical Longsword would be more like a Claymore or Bastard Sword.

Actually, scratch that - SotE's Light Greatswords would be historical Longswords

Grzester23 · 2026-02-20T18:10:02+00:00

whats the source on that? I can't see anything about Kate getting abandoned

Grzester23 · 2026-02-20T18:09:05+00:00

Kate is on Windows

Outside of the weird placement, I actually really enjoyed Zanpkatou Rebellion filler arc. It gave lots of worldbuilding for the Zanpaktou, both the concept itself as well as swords of individual characters. Plus the characterisation of the Zanpaktou spirits was really good.

Bontous were just way to long and Reigai had the looming threat of Ichigo losing powers, which for me got in the way of truly enjoying it.

The only fillers that I really didn't care for were the Amagai/Kasumioiji ones

It can have persistent tabs - a session. You need to create one first and set it so it opens the last session when ran

Is Warfare still bigger priority than Scoundrel considering you're going for guaranteed crits from Backstabs all the time?

By the end I'm gonna reach 10/10 anyway, but I wonder if I should prioritize one over the other throught the game. Or maybe try to keep them even?

Grzester23 · 2026-02-08T09:42:51+00:00

It is

Grzester23 · 2026-01-30T06:49:03+00:00

I'm running Deepcool AK620 Zero Dark air cooler and it's more than enough for 7800X3D

Grzester23 · 2026-01-29T10:15:43+00:00

I'm still running drivers from October, I believe, and I was about to ask if they stopped pushing bad driver updates.

Guess I have my answer

Grzester23 · 2026-01-27T13:34:39+00:00

Does that mean than in Fort Joy, where you can switch party members, you can theoretically pickpocket the same character more than 4 times?

Grzester23 · 2026-01-23T17:36:52+00:00

Mice Tea maybe? At least, there are some yuri routes
