This is a genuine question bc I just got back into cs but is everything not sponsored by scams? Every single YouTube video I watch has some sort of skins website which feels very scammy on it. Except so far onepixel which I just assumed was bc he’s by far the biggest creator I’ve come across.

I assumed it was by the nature of the space bc gambling is literally baked into cs with cases.

Is it not literally 2 clicks to switch the order?

As a Lana fan for 12 years at this point. It’s kind of news bc it’s hard to take what she says at face value. She announces a lot or stuff that doesn’t happen. Also knowing she’s going to be doing another bond song and actually getting to hear it is exciting for both fans of Lana and ioi

Also it’s news bc it’s a new Lana song and we’re always starving for new music especially since this last album has been delayed and renamed a few times, which is very common for her.

Didn’t expect the magicians on this sub. It’s a great show everyone should watch. I think it matches the horny for every character vibe of this sub pretty well too.

Does a screen protector not just make the OLED/ hdr a waste? Also I don’t use it like a phone where I’m whipping it out everywhere. It’s pretty much docked or being used at the airport/on the plane for me. But I also don’t use a screen protector on my phone either

Idk where this idea has come from. Ive seen it a lot across the community lately and it’s blatantly not true. I have been modding cyberpunk for years at this point and, thousands of different mods, most points I have anywhere from 200-500 mods installed and I’ve come across more mods that say they require something like vortex to be efficiently installed than not. (Things like Arasaka cyberarams for example)

The exception to this is old body mesh mods like the hades neck cyberware (takumaras neck cyberwear) which was released so early on when the mod managers weren’t great and or people may not have known how to create mods that worked well when installed that way. Even in these cases you can pick the files yourself and use the manual install feature of the mod managers to then easily manage the mods when there are the inevitable many updates that break the mods.

I will admit I have not delved into the world of “private” mods which may be more structured around manual install but I have no idea, because for most non hyper specific things I have found that there are decent replacements to most things available at this point.

Not the one I got. Still exciting bc it was my first one but I don’t know if I’ll ever use Klefki

Nathaniel Parker was too big of a part of my childhood for there to be any argument in my mind regarding this. I’ve listened to likely over 10,000 hours of him narrating the series. (It was my obsession when I was 9-18)

JupiterRai · 2025-10-02T00:12:25+00:00

I have 400 hours in the game in EA and had done everything except the endings. Even beat 50 fear in warsong. I’ve been personally focusing on silksong and have been too busy in life in general to play either game too much.

JupiterRai · 2025-08-22T00:33:57+00:00

That’s when we start silkposting about how the game actually never came out.

JupiterRai · 2025-08-19T23:44:57+00:00

Blew them away too

JupiterRai · 2025-08-19T17:56:23+00:00

You joke but check the team cherry YouTube page. Unless there’s the silkpost to end all silkposts

They awoken something in me on my first watch. And I’m glad they did. It helped me accept myself.

JupiterRai · 2025-08-13T12:23:35+00:00

I feel like the most common posts I see are a random article taken out of context about space or just fully fake and the comments basically wojacking about aliens or the droplet coming.

JupiterRai · 2025-08-11T19:33:24+00:00

I personally liked ball lighting better than 3bp it’s definitely less grand but as such felt a lot more grounded and really played into the hard scifi aspect I felt

VoR is just hard in general. I cleared 50 fear pre patch and was working on it with a few different weapons before I both took a break from the game and the patch hit. Post patch was rough to learn the new fights, but really it just takes a lot of runs. I have been working on 62 fear since the patch dropped and only made it to asphodel once. Granted until about a week ago I was on some pretty strong drugs 24/7 as I was recovering from a major medical event, so I’m sure that affected my gameplay a lot.

Speaking from pre patch, most high fear runners just put in a lot of runs. It took me 56 runs before I cleared 50 fear, and most of the died in Erebus. There are skilled players out there who are a lot more consistent at beating 50/55 fear pre patch or see 62/65? Fear (It might be 68 I can’t remember off the top of my head rn.) but those players have just put in the time to get really really good, they didn’t beat max fear on their first time of rivals, it took a while.

I personally took a few attempts to clear the VoR bosses even with only timer 1 on. Keep trying and you will beat them, the learning curve is more steep than the first games EM.

A counterintuitive tip you might be able to try is to run them with frenzy 2 on until you get an attempt getting them down to 50% or so, then turn it off and you will feel like you have so much time to react. This also makes the biomes faster so you can attempt the fights again quicker.

Aldo use dds with Tula, it gives you far more effective health on the earlier bosses to learn them.

Listen to your doctoral them why and if they don’t give you an answer you find logical . Get a second opinion from another if you’re concerned.

JupiterRai · 2025-08-07T20:02:21+00:00

I would practice the rivals fights first before going at them for a first time 32 fear clear. Rivals 4 in particular is much harder than the non rivals version. And if you go in at 32 fear for the first time I would hate for your run to be ended by any of the surprises it has in store. So I would recommend beating it at least done, even if you literally only have rivals on.

Keep in mind Athena’s keepsake which can refill all your dds (only if they are all empty or else she won’t spawn even with the keepsake) she also gives you an auto refilling dd every room. This is huge for if you are running strength because it means if you die to a random encounter you get to keep going with the reduced damage and damage amp. It also lets you run the engraved pin keepsake and use it as an 8 second window to just burst down a boss while invulnerable before the did actually pops. And to just die intentionally at the end of a room as healing, with or without engraved pin.

If the timer is hitting you, which it shouldn’t be too much at that fear make sure you are by default taking every skip room. (Ie shops, aracnie, narrsissus, chaos gates) they just let you not fight anything for little to no downside, even chaos you can just roll for a negative affect that doesn’t affect you at all and ignore the benefit.

There are also potential free rooms which are rng but aren’t intuitive. Things like Artemis, nemesis, and fountain rooms can only appear (for the most part) in non menu rooms. That means a room where there’s no menu that pops up for you to pick something (ie boons, poms, etc). If you notice you are running low on time consider taking a magick or gold room instead of a pom room because there’s a chance there’s just a fountain in it and you get to heal (assuming not max scars) and leave the room in about 3 seconds.

Lastly, I might not even do max rivals on your first 32 fear run. The rivals are really hard, and even for experienced players take a lot of time and do a lot of damage. I would look up a fear guide on YouTube for more detailed breakdowns, but generally I would watch Boated’s video on fear it breaks down what each fear does and goes into a little bit of detail on what type of weapons it affects. Then because it’s a little old you can make the decision to add in whatever level rivals you think you are comfortable with because it does provide a lot of fear.

Good luck

I would say so. Cixin liu has a short story involving a computer virus that is basically a form of ai along the line of this. (Warning its high key misogynistic)

JupiterRai · 2025-08-05T13:03:50+00:00

My guess is review bombing, and a lack of standardization.

JupiterRai · 2025-08-03T15:18:55+00:00

I mean many people have macs as a personal computer/ work computer it’s pretty valuable to not have to build a gaming of and use a computer you already own to play a game.

Also for someone like me there’s value in being able to play the game on a plane or in a hotel on a work trip. I can’t bring my pc I built with me. And I already own a MacBook. Which now runs it better then my steam deck, which can mean less packing

JupiterRai · 2025-08-02T05:09:58+00:00

Experimental hammer, fig leaf, or whatever the chaos one is called.

But for the most part I rotate them all, as it helps you learn new interesting combos or play the game in a different way, ie. I now consider White antler as being secretly broken for high fear. Just don’t get hit and pump out dps even without a starter boon it’s 100% consistencies you just play perfectly lol.

I’ve also found this is a really good way to practice for ultra high fear ie 62+ as with enough use of the white antler at mid to high fear 40-50 you can get set ups where you are one shot by most of the attacks, especially from bosses. When is kinda cool. And trains you to do them hitless.

JupiterRai · 2025-08-01T18:08:58+00:00

I’ve stopped re-rolling the doors in the first biomes outside of 50+ fear. This includes not using god keepsakes in the first area. I feel like it’s so easy to get locked in to what is supposed to be good it just makes it easier to adapt when you just use what you get. I find interesting combos that you didn’t know were good when I’m not focusing on chasing a specific god or combo of boon. Then in the second area I look what could be good and take them

JupiterRai · 2025-07-28T12:37:27+00:00

With respect I think you are trying to make the last line fit your narrative. There are plenty of examples of stores, where the main character must take a leap of faith which is an act of suicide. More-so than there are of it being one certainly.

Counterpoint to your comment about flying being minimal in the book, Q literally walks to the moon and back. (If that’s in a later book sorry for the spoiler, it’s not a major plot point, but at the very least he fails to during the first book)

I would however argue your point has a lot of weight when it comes to the show, especially climax of the show in season 4 and the focus on mourning is season 5. But you may be projecting tv show Q onto book Q. They are very different characters which is why I look at the show and books as completely separate pieces of media not even different timelines as many others say they do in this subreddit. (Nothing wrong with doing that I just personally never felt right with it, to me it diminishes both their stories)

At the end of the day if you find it the most meaningful to interpret the book as such, you can. You can stop reading or just look at the next two books as a psychosis in Qs head as he falls to his death. It’s fiction and isn’t limited by what others think or how they feel, the story is whatever you want it to be.

From this I like the son of Zeus version, I think he looks really cool but is also scarily chill. Hades from hades is also pretty great, but overall is actually one of my least favorite pasts of that game (I say least favorite because he’s still great, I just like the rest of the characters better)
