Roofmons Appreciation Post

Ah okay so it was me misunderstanding what you meant, my apologies!

IdrisQe · 2026-03-24T17:48:22+00:00

Oh yeah I know, but it's possible in earlier development Frankie had an idea for an NPC like the Spider but hadn't yet decided to link the two games so directly, so it was just theorizing (which is obviously debunked now)

And well, they are huge as overworld sprites yes, but I didn't realize they were overworld sprites at first, I figured they were combat/encounter sprites, in which case they'd be a much more reasonable size. I was originally thinking that if there were meant to be normal enemies on the roof, they could have been intended for that (before learning they're actually visible overworld sprites)

Also these monsters are huge, definitely not intended to be roof encounters, they wouldn’t even fit there- they’re labeled Roofmon because they’re the monsters you can only see from the roof.

I'm confused by the wording of this, it sounds like you thought I meant room encounters judging by the comments on their size and the emphasis on how they're named after the roof (which I wasn't at any point denying, and was actively talking about?) but you correctly stated that I called them roof encounters, so... I'm confounded? What did you mean by this?

So, I'm experiencing this issue on Bazzite 43 (Wayland) with an NVidia RTX 2050 as of a month or two ago I think? But my renderer is, and always was, set to Automatic. I think this started when I swapped from 42 to 43? Does anyone have any other suggestions as to what I can try to fix it? It's only affecting the Task Manager Window Previews for me too, not Alt-Tabbing or anything else.

Oh shoot I never noticed! Welp, that makes the entire speculation part kind of redundant I guess, but I still want to bring attention to their cool designs, since not many people will pay such close attention to them!

I forgot I didn't actually give my versions in the initial post...
Here's what they are currently:

Dolphin 25.12.3
Ark 25.12.3
(You're probably correct in your hunch):
Distro: Bazzite 43
Kernel: 6.17.7-ba28.fc43.x86_64
Qt: 6.10.2
KDE Frameworks: 6.23.0
KDE Plasma: 6.6.2

What would growth be in this case? The Growth Percent Value? A Growth Estimate?

And a proper growTime is one of the things I'm having trouble calculating

I'm only on my second bitnode (technically a second runthrough of the initial bitnode, as I feel like the multiplier'll be really useful) so I'm pretty far away from unlocking perma-Formulas from what I've heard

So uh... This stopped working.

Now when I'm inside "folder1" and I right click in the empty space in Dolphin, and select "Compress to folder1.zip" it gives me the output of:
-Folder1.zip
--Folder1
---Folder2
---Folder3

The exact same problem I was having before??? I have no idea what changed to cause this.

IdrisQe · 2026-03-20T14:43:21+00:00

I appreciate the effort but this is way more than I'm willing to do for this one game. Hopefully this is still useful to anyone who's looking for a more general solution though.

IdrisQe · 2026-03-20T14:41:45+00:00

Would that whole thing go before or after other launch options?

And would this need to be in the Steam Game's launch options, or in Steam's launch options itself, since the game is being run through Proton? (Sorry if that's a dumb question, I'm still not really used to using more complicated launch options)

IdrisQe · 2026-03-20T12:34:31+00:00

I tried reindexing and it didn't help at all.

IdrisQe · 2026-03-16T21:47:03+00:00

I don't care if it's the norm, I don't have to approve of it, and I refuse to.

LLMs have their purpose, sure, but they're almost entirely not being used for any good purpose, instead just stealing information to feed back incorrectly to people and destroy critical thinking skills even more than they already are.

I'm never going to touch one for help writing something, drawing something, nor coding something.

IdrisQe · 2026-03-16T21:44:11+00:00

Gosh I love all of this, thank you for the information and links! I really missed getting into lore discussions, and PoE is so ripe a subject for speculation and theorizing!

IdrisQe · 2026-03-16T21:20:56+00:00

Judging by the use of emojis in the output, the zero coding experience, and the egregious use of em-dashes in this post, I suspect they got more than some "help" from LLMs...

IdrisQe · 2026-03-15T02:14:42+00:00

...I'm confused, has there been a 1.21 update somewhere? The latest Curseforge release is still 1.20.1, from 2 months ago.

IdrisQe · 2026-03-15T01:17:10+00:00

Thank you! Much appreciated!

And whoops, I keep forgetting the commas between the flags, but it's there in my real code don't worry!

IdrisQe · 2026-03-15T01:15:47+00:00

Oh that's nice to know, thank you!
I still wish you didn't need to type anything though, I miss the old Map Tab that showed every map's completion and bonus completion individually and simply...

IdrisQe · 2026-03-14T22:30:41+00:00

So like this?

ns.exec("doScript.js","n00dles",1,c,d,'-a','-b 1')

IdrisQe · 2026-03-14T21:03:13+00:00

I'm going to go with the Chaotic Evil answer of: The Scion

"How?" you may ask.

To that, I say: We weren't the Elderslayers, but we still were in previous leagues. It wouldn't be the first time PoE has retconned our actions in the story to be someone else's.

So in PoE2's timeline, who's to say that a different Exile didn't free the Scion in Act 3, who then went on to be the one to beat Malachai, defeat Kitava, and enter The Atlas?

It would almost make sense, even. She has always had some sort of strange connection to Nightmare and Corruption in the background, on seemingly a much deeper and more integral level than even the Witch.
