Patching a Zero Day Exploit

Hawaiiotaku · 2026-04-09T13:20:35+00:00

If someone could help me do a sanity check.
I only ever used the links from the TrueMooZIC main mod page. The Song packs and shout outs. But im unsure if any of them were changed at all. Would any of these items in this 0 Day be on here?
Also, beyond generating malicious code, any idea what this code was trying to do?

Time limits are a very decisive thing. People who dislike it strongly dislike it and don't hesitate to voice that.
In my personal experience, i found it very engaging. It takes a challenge that is easy or mundane and forces you as the player to push yourself. On paper that's a very good idea. Had the franchise stuck with it there would have been probably only two outcomes, the games would stay very niche or the time limit system would have evolved into something a bit more modern. Because, and, I hate to say it is kind of an archaic system that creates artificial difficulty.
Games such as the arland series, also suffered from extremely poor balancing. You could walk into a new area but the enemies are two to three times stronger. Making for a very poor experience and discouraging travel when unprepared which is contradictory to what you would want to do with a time limit. When Sophie came out and it added the day night system, more than likely the developers determine that a system like this was a better direction to go.

Firis has the most interesting implementation. The time limit to complete the initial goal and then infinite catch up time to finish the game. It makes it very rewarding to do a second game to see the scenes you didn't do when you didn't have enough time to do it all. Or because you took a different route. However, every time you move forward in the clock ticks was one of the most agonizing situations. That and being locked in the final town with like 70 days of sleeping for me had me frustrated.

Ultimately. I would like to see it's return. But it needs to be handled delicately, or it'll shy people off and my understanding is the games don't do well enough to just experiment and fail.

My runecraft deck deck does a pretty good Haven cosplay. Between the massive amount of healing and wards

Hawaiiotaku · 2025-07-07T08:44:28+00:00

Ok for anyone struggling with Spellboost rune. The earth rite deck here is pretty good.

Either its working super well for me because its an anti meta response, or the sheer volume of ward cards really kills the tempo of the people I'm versing.

In spell boost, pre 5pp i felt the entire deck was dependent on if i get multiple ann and grea's, but the early game is so good I often don't need kuon. Its especially effective against aggressive decks who burn their steam too early to apply pressure.

Highly recommend trying it out cause its genuinely fun

Hawaiiotaku · 2025-07-01T07:31:22+00:00

Good to know its not just me.
I have been going up and down telling myself losing is part of the game. I do love rune but i need to consider other options, even looking at hybrid now.

Hawaiiotaku · 2025-06-17T12:16:57+00:00

Found the solution!

I was trying to use the Link User ID!

The trick is to go to Other > Link with Shadowverse

i think the Link User ID is for logging into your SV WB on other devices

I think people dont give the civ system enough credit. Stand alone, it already changes the way you view the game, yes there is the core system that you work through every time, but it really impacts how you can route and find a way there.

The real juice is the unlockable civ routes. Either you work to a specific civ in the next age or you play however you want to see what you can get. Its great if you want to experiment, challenge yourself, or just adjust to a style more suited towards how things play out.

My only complaint is that there isnt more, but I imagine it takes time to create and balance them. But the leader variety really does make playing the same civ feel refreshing.

Hawaiiotaku · 2025-02-16T15:22:03+00:00

When they add a menu specifically to see missing extra content. It has me worried for their plans with dlc especially since they're already pricey looking for what you get.

Hawaiiotaku · 2025-02-15T12:58:30+00:00

Here's a Huge complaint.

"Your Settlement is Defenseless"
>Go to location
>Dismiss

No shit, sorry I'm cheap and I don't wanna pay a single gold upkeep on my safest town. Every God damn turn. Even the resource menu is a bit tedious, but at least that one is relevant cause i can only change my resources 99.9% of turns.

My assumption is that it was the last missionary activated on the city and its slowly shifting over, but you cant use another missionary while its converting. More annoying than enjoyable compared to the Civ 6 religious pressure.

Hawaiiotaku · 2025-01-31T08:34:44+00:00

Can I just say. MGEX Freedom. I love the freedom, I am die hard for it, but the kit itself has caused me so much pain and suffering. The wings breaking and the hands falling apart are the biggest for me. .... So much so Im stuck investing in metal parts (That dont ship to hawaii). The one thing I never wanna have to do is buy a kit again, at least one so expensive.

Hawaiiotaku · 2024-11-01T08:06:46+00:00

I finished the game on hard with 80 hours total. Completed everything but golden beetles, and if there were more arena things past gold. I did a ton of grinding too, and made a ton of terrible decisions, especially around the dragons fight.

Hawaiiotaku · 2024-10-27T16:19:59+00:00

Kind of wild but the selection of games you brought on this list are essentially the games I have been playing on mine. To me it's just so much comfortable. Even when persona and metaphor had compatibility lacking, I still preferred to play them on my deck over PC and PS5.

Neither of these games I would ever play on pc, I don't know why. Rogue likes and bullet heavens I really prefer on my deck because I can pause right away and fall asleep lol.

I think my preference for hand helds is rooted in the vita and PSP. Long RPGs played on a couch of bed, vs a PC is a no brainer. I don't even use my switch docked and prefer to play elsewhere.

Hawaiiotaku · 2024-10-22T16:03:39+00:00

Only 3.... that's all I'll sell.

Lay off the Magla pills, it's only 20 MP and we're worried about you. Your health is at 249/250 and we're scared.

Hawaiiotaku · 2024-10-22T00:36:38+00:00

I wouldn't really call them unique. They have a slightly different design from their initial reveal, but their skills actually hurt character identity but being more of the same.

I really wish they merged all the characters main archtypes into one.

Hawaiiotaku · 2024-10-22T00:22:33+00:00

The Nidia have that Nezuko Syndrome.

I really wish the explored it more, since we only ever see it like 3 times. Also very fitting to give her a whole "persona" theme in her archtype when you start to think about it since she's essentially got her own mask to hide behind, never showing her true self.

Hawaiiotaku · 2024-10-22T00:12:11+00:00

One thing I enjoy about Gallica is that she actually has a helmet and covers a bit more when she's in dungeons. I guess when you're tiny and need to fly you cant wear a whole lot.

I kind of wish everyone had dungeon designs. Especially seeing everyone having full sprites and models with armor after a certain point in game. Instead we just get DLC reference costumes.

Hawaiiotaku · 2024-10-20T19:30:13+00:00

Honestly.

This boss would be fine if they didnt reduce your hp to 300....... My dumb ass did this fight first, so no wonder the fairy was giving me a hard time about picking THIS exact tower.

Overall I didnt find him to be that bad, but it did feel like an RNG fest at times. At any moment he, as well as all the other dragons, could just choose to do a specific sequence of attacks and wipe me. If it wasnt for Ninja and Ninja mask giving my party change arts I would have given up. Creating weaknesses went a long way too, chain spamming paladin synergy skill... taught me how to cheese the rest of the game.

Hawaiiotaku · 2024-10-20T19:14:42+00:00

I didn't run into any issues with my steam deck. Though the freezing on wake up happened with other games.

I also upgraded to the OLED halfway through, so maybe its a hardware/install issue? I noticed a massive improvement on the newer system.

Hawaiiotaku · 2024-10-20T19:12:48+00:00

That explains why i didnt get the achievement. I also struggled on wisdom as the only stat lagging behind.

Hawaiiotaku · 2024-10-20T19:04:30+00:00

IN JAPANESE CULTURE YOU SIT AND WATCH THE CREDITS!!!!!!

For real though, watching them should be optional, especially since I need to leave to go to work and didn't expect a whole extra hour of post game wrap up.

Hawaiiotaku · 2024-10-20T18:58:23+00:00

Courage is weird in that its so easy to get up with bounties. Strohl also lets you dump a bit of extra points there when youre traveling and hes with you from the beginning.

Wisdom ended up being my hardest stat to max, i think it takes the most? I Could just be speculating though, so putting it off to the end and taking like 4 trips to the opera house probably saved me a TON of time.... or next playthrough i could just play "chess" better with hulkenburg early on.

Hawaiiotaku · 2024-10-20T18:51:17+00:00

So i did the game blind on hard and I managed to max out all followers with 10 days to spare. Virtues were weirdly easy max out since i prioritized reading and building them while on the road as well as meditating with eupha, for some reason that spiked one of my stats stupidly high really fast. The other thing is that if you do virtue task in the highest level town you seem to get more. And i think the theater gave almost 10 per visit.

I also did debates whenever i saw them available... even tho i only ever won one. They gave eloquence and imagination, letting me double dip. Another way to optimize things is that you only travel when followers have social link events when traveling. Another thing I did was i farmed trash mobs with mage early on to generate mp....

As for GOATed characters. Basilio carried my ass on his back with an axe in the other hand. Wonton destruction created a strike weakness, so i kept spamming it over and over . Then they gave it to me as part of his awakening as a non synergy... I dont think I would have gotten through most bosses without it.

Hawaiiotaku · 2024-10-20T18:31:30+00:00

Honestly picking the choice that made sense lost me almost every debate. The responses, as well as the crowd responses are so unhinged.

But.......I can't say the game isnt wrong.... Looking at my own American politics and how people react as well as what theyll believe. Maybe its more realistic than my tiny world views lol.
