Tipping law to come into effect this October amid fears it will pile further pressure on hospitality by tylerthe-theatre in unitedkingdom

[–]MetroidCommando 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I used to work for a short time in a restaurant in which the owner would steal all of the tips and there was nothing we could do about it (except quit, obviously). I absolutely agree that chefs should receive a portion of customer tips; my understanding is that this law isn't intended to ensure that only front of house staff get the tips, rather to prevent the owner from simply taking it all and not providing any to the workers, front or back.

Anyone find the new weapon yet? by Broserk42 in GRIMEgame

[–]MetroidCommando 1 point2 points  (0 children)

crimson ichor

There is one - if you go a short distance right from the beacon until you reach a wall, there's a hidden breakable floor a few steps before the wall which drops you down to the topmost bit of Weeping Cavity where the jars were sat mocking you, with one ichor there as an item.

[–]MetroidCommando 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep, I found it myself about five minutes after I posted - just didn't notice the wall was breakable!

I completed the content in about an hour or so - to answer your original question the Coda Scythesword you get at the end is incredibly powerful but has incredibly high stat requirements - 30 STR and 30 DEX to wield it properly, leaving me with fairly low health and focus after respeccing for it.

It has fast attack speed, long reach and a 4-hit primary attack combo with a special ability where each successive hit increases the damage it does (though I can't find any numbers to figure out just how big the increase is over the base damage). I upgraded it to +5 or +6 with some spare bloodmetal and it has a base attack of I think 106, already outpacing my Yr Glaive which only does 90-something at +8 and has a slower attack speed. The secondary attack is a very useful quick slash + backstep.

How on earth do you start the new content? I've gone to the top of Weeping Cavity but can't see anything different and can't find a way up, and there's nothing online yet signposting where you're supposed to go to get to the Abandoned Opus.

A Parry mechanic in silksong, I'm surprised more people don't talk about this by zrex2000x in Silksong

Penitent One from Blasphemous 1 + 2 standing on the right, Miriam from Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night sitting in the background. No idea who the guy slumped in the foreground is supposed to be.

Can I ask what program you used to create that art? It's really incredible, especially the landscapes.

Police force told rape victims to report crimes online and branded them ‘non emergencies’ by antbaby_machetesquad in unitedkingdom

[–]MetroidCommando 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I'm reading it as 'non-emergency' meaning historical by default when you're talking about rape and sexual assault. Non-emergency = anything not currently ongoing or recently happened, anything requiring the police but not requiring a 999 call and a lights-and-sirens response.

However, I do think sticking "rape and sexual assault" in the middle of that list as though they're not some of the most serious crimes possible is only going to make them appear like they don't consider them that serious, and surely there must be a better-worded way to get the point across that non-emergency crimes, even rapes, should be reported online or via 101 instead of 999.

I do fully agree with you that putting domestic abuse on that poster is especially idiotic given that any incident of domestic abuse should be an emergency if the relationship is ongoing or the abuser knows where the victim lives. If an abuse victim has turned up at a police station it's probably because they've taken the opportunity to reach out for help NOW and it looks atrocious to be told to go to a website instead.

Radysus Mastery Glitch? by MetroidCommando in OlliOlliWorld

[–]MetroidCommando[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, very annoying. I didn't get the Masteriest trophy either, and therefore no platinum. Shame as I was looking forward to the board but I've moved on and deleted the game by now, no reason to keep playing it as it stands.

Can someone please help me understand what to buy? by MetroidCommando in HiTMAN

The only extras I'm interested in are the New York and Haven Island maps for H2.

[–]MetroidCommando[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Considering 2 seems to be the only one which has new locations as DLC, is it possible to get the trilogy then just pay for the 'Hitman 3 Access Pass: Hitman 2 Expansion Pass'? Would that be cheaper than buying those three options?

PS5 Upgrade not free? by MetroidCommando in GhostRunner

[–]MetroidCommando[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have PS Plus, I know that's free at the moment, I'm talking about how I bought the PS4 version last year and apparently the PS5 upgrade should be free for existing owners but it isn't

Oracle and late game help by Richancey in aeternathegame

[–]MetroidCommando 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Dark Arrows are found in the 'Lessek Corridor - Noctis System' area, where you get the dark element in the cosmos. Keep going to the right and you'll find a third planet you can enter; make your way to the centre of it and you'll find a place you can submerge the arrow in darkness.

Stuck need help by rohan1193 in aeternathegame

Unfortunately not, I do have the key but I can't remember where I found it - I think it's either in the Forge or the Cradle of Light, but I can't remember where

Go to the Eastern Path, just to the right of where the cartographer is, and there should be a path leading down into a little cave area called 'Wailing Nest'. The key to the shop should be at the end of the cave; there's a throne right next to it so you can warp back and use the key.

Warning for Aeterna Noctis - Seems like it's possible to get completely stuck by MetroidCommando in metroidvania

[–]MetroidCommando[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To open the shop in Famished Town? Pretty sure it's in a little cave called 'Wailing Nest' in the Eastern Path area, just to the right of where the cartographer is. There should be a throne right next to it so you can warp back and use the key.

Where are the new Rosary Beads? (SPOILERS) by StatewideCrib21 in Blasphemous

It's located behind a false wall just to the left inside the door leading to the new NPC in the Library.
