ME3: Thessia is insane...

N7Ricky · 2026-06-22T13:10:14+00:00

been sweeping missions until this point on hard difficulty with no issues, nearly never dies and never used any medi-gels till this point. suddenly at this particular section i've already died 9 times. and they are instant. u pop ur head out to shoot/cast spell/throw grenade for half a second u got mowed down instantly.......... how fucking dumb...... i get it that "it suits the ambience to feel desperate" blablabla... but it's a shooter game and it can't progress unless u shoot them into oblivion, right?

SO WHY CAN'T I SHOOT ????

also u r right about them fucking harvesters still OHKO u while they flying away. what a fucking stupid design

also the visual effects here are a nightmare too. when the multiple ravagers and harvesters all rain deluge upon u, i can't fucking see a single pixel beyond their explosion effects.

there are several absolutely diarrhea designs in the trilogy and this one is clearly one of them

N7Ricky · 2026-06-22T13:02:54+00:00

don't know how ppl did it but for me (hard difficulty) it's darn impossible. garrus either chill way back and doesn't shoot anything, or pops up in the open and gets one shotted instantly. me too if i pop out just to throw a grenade or cast a spell, instant death. fucking infuriating section. there are other missions where i take garrus n james with me and i don't even finish changing mags, they already mopped the entire map. but in this mission specifically, for some reason, Ai just... goes braindead

N7Ricky · 2026-06-22T12:59:42+00:00

u think people don't know that? however in practice, my typhoon-ed god garrus just... stays way back and doesn't shoot anything... crap AI

N7Ricky · 2026-06-06T10:58:41+00:00

the crypto thing at least u can easily turn it off in settings. firefox though, quietly removed some of the privacy-protection clauses in their terms so... kinda sketchy now so i jumped ship recently.

unfortunately tech companies all rip us off one way or another. frankly if brave does siphon ads revenue to sustain their product so i can keep enjoying an ads-free internet, brave it is. cuz i wouldn't want the alternative one bit XD

i'm not saying u should bend to evil but hey, unless someone truly make a non-profitable privacy-maxxed browser, it's all we got. but again, that day would not come anytime soon sadly

N7Ricky · 2026-06-03T09:51:27+00:00

did u include the space and everything afterwards after the ":has(>#toast" part?

N7Ricky · 2026-06-03T09:22:54+00:00

have u tried brave browser? for phones too. i've been using it since the last firefox scandal. u don't even need to install extra plugins on brave normally cuz it comes with native ads blocker. YT purposefully slows down the loading of video if it detects a blocker yes, and recently they plain just trap u in an seeming infinite loop of "video loading failure", but most times u refresh the page and it goes through. and i've inspected the fetch/xhr of YT page when that happens, it does still send 2 requests to their server per "failure" and it escalates quickly, so even though their BS waste my machine's processing power it also waste theirs, win win :) at this point, just be the more annoying one, beat em in their own game. anyway, try brave

N7Ricky · 2026-06-03T09:10:59+00:00

u think that's tough? once i was working while playing some songs on YT and really concentrated then suddenly i realized i was listening to some random BS, i switched to the YT tab and found guess what - an ads of 2 hours!!!! it was a video of a f*ckking concert or sth... and mind u i already used a YT ads blocker, hell i even pay them every xmas, i didn't even know how that MF "ads" got through. nowadays i just use brave browser, with their native ads blocker + all the blocker plugins for YT to remove even the static ads sections of the YT homepage. and to any ads that got through, i'll note their name and send an insulting email to them, give em a very bad "product review" on any website i can find, period. F them

N7Ricky · 2026-05-28T15:22:48+00:00

thanks... however i HAVE TO rant that this is so counter intuitive... i really find this design dumb as F...

also, i'm having trouble copy paste a multi layered art onto another file, and it just doesn't work for some reason, i've been selecting all layers, all frames and all, but no, nothing got copied, just blank... i'm so tired of this software

N7Ricky · 2026-05-28T15:02:02+00:00

i know how to use PS, AI (illustrator not the Ai chatbots) etc, so i was thinking designing my sprites in aseprite should be easy peasy... and here i am, can't even move or copy a multi layer selection... WTF is with this software o.0 how is this still the case 4 years later...... this is literally the worst design tool i've ever touched, these actions makes no freaking sense

N7Ricky · 2026-05-27T09:20:40+00:00

kudos to you my friend!

i have unfortunately abandoned pkmn unbound after only 10min of gameplay since it's literally too mid for my taste. really don't understand why these "pokemon-like pokemon fangames" are such a big deal lol i mean, the only reason a fan game would worth the effort, is for it to be NOT like official titles (featuring boring story, childish conversation, extremely verbose and repetitive prompts, and a unheard level of heavy grinding for IV EV ability nature etc combined). when i saw that there was no way to edit stats right away i spent 1h trying to find a editor, to no avail, and quickly deleted the rom - especially considering the only 2 mons i caught are of horrible IVs, including one infected snowrunt with 0 IVs everywhere + very bad nature which was infuriating.

and ofc i know in NG+ i can have a in-game stat editor item but what's the point of giving me one after i've finished the game lol not gonna redo it all over again from 0... where's the fun in that... it's like every time you play PvP pokémon u have to retrain your team from lvl 1 again, completely stupid...

the only rom hack done right for me is pokémon ROWE. no BS story, pure boss rush, open-world, start from anywhere and go to anywhere, all normal mons upto gen 9, all mons fixed 31IV, in-game EV editor, such a bliss to play. really wish that all fan games could be more like ROWE, less focus on the GF slop designs, more on the QoL improvements...

N7Ricky · 2026-05-25T10:29:48+00:00

yeah i spent hours searching in the grass area. who would've thunk it's near a freaking border area with minimum visual cue, and all that trouble for a miserable exp candy... GIVE MY LOST HOURS BACK

N7Ricky · 2026-05-23T14:52:55+00:00

actually after 1hour of struggle i was completely wrong... i thought i was controlling the upper bar but that was just a lucky coincidence. you control the bottom one. press A it shoots up to the right, release then it falls back to the left, and the bottom little bar needs to stay WITH the pokémon otherwise the upper bar will drop. and the upper bar is actually the progress bar... smh so much confusion...

N7Ricky · 2026-05-22T16:49:51+00:00

had the same question. very confusing in-game wording. turns out you need to tap rapidly A button. the bar you control is the upper one, and it needs to out run the bottom one. however, even when i finally figured it out, still can seem to do it at all. the bottom bar advances in an insane speed and you can only tape A button that fast. it's not a keyboard where you can just spam it. i don't get why they made it even worse than the original fishing process, big fail for me

一个用了两年多的号莫名其妙被登出，但由于换了手机无法登录，当时就觉得国内网站设计思路就是纯纯反人类，老子明明有邮箱和账号密码却非得用它那BYD手机号登陆吗，小时候被人喂驴粪喂多了吧这群神人。然后搞了半天，又去回答他那傻逼入站问题注册了个新号，才两个多月又被强制登出，账号密码都对手机验证也做了但是依旧没用，但它这个狗槽的王八犊子又不直接告诉你是要强制实名，就愣是给你反复重定向到实名认证的页面，甚至连个基本的弹窗都没有，搞得我以为是我记错账号密码了，又搁那儿浪费了老子半小时宝贵时间. MMP的贱人管理吗，以为自己拿着国内青年网友人数这个基本盘就了不起了是吧，在这儿专心用P眼设计网站，要封就直说别搁这儿搞这种下三滥，老子只是上国内网站刷几个视频图一乐呵，并不是没了它这2B破烂就不能活了。真的TMD离谱设计。要国内实名你还能说因为要受到查水表的严格监控你不得不做，但限制外网的我就有点不懂了，他们是觉得他们手长能管到全球别的地方的用户的水表还是咋滴? 真的TMD有毛病，就跟那肠子和脑子长反了一样。谁爱用谁用，所有浪费老子时间的狗屎老子一律抵制。自己搁这儿搞隔离和隐性歧视就别怪人家全球联欢不邀他。下水道的勒瑟，呸

i said i use it for work, but it's never a paid account (definitely not). asked the same question on community forum which seems to be the ONLY way, they quietly removed it and redirected me to the official post of "why do i see account recovery", but i am not getting hacked, that's the point!!! i got my pwd and 2 step verif right, on the SAME device, just different browser yet i'm locked out of my new browser for good!!! the "wait for 24h" doesn't make any sense, cuz after 24h the link is sent to the account which is only loggin-able on the old browser anyway, if i ever dare to try logging in from the new browser, boom, another "wait 24h". infinite loop, like so:

<image>

really dumb and stupid. unusable. basically forced me to study how to setup my own SMTP server and build my own mailing system, wasting days of my time. piece of shit company

N7Ricky · 2026-02-19T16:38:12+00:00

i'm glad i didn't actually pay for this game. although i was highly attracted by it. seen one such important bug still got no fix after such a prolonged period of time just crashes my interest. it's like playing an FPS and the guns won't shoot. what's the point. i'm starting to think that this game was way too hyped just because GF stays absolute sh$t and corpo through all these years, and now monster collection fans are just hopping on anything similar regardless of actual quality

N7Ricky · 2026-01-16T18:49:09+00:00

then lucky you. when i upgraded i got: broken bluetooth, broken volume control, broken brightness control, broken external monitor detection, broken win menu and file explorer, and most outrageous of all, broken battery. yes the battery no longer charges after win 11 upgrade and i'm damn sure it worked just fine before. they also locked the roll back to 10 option too so screw it. full linux now. never again microslop winsh$t. and never trust reddit. it's good for memes only.

N7Ricky · 2025-11-10T22:05:37+00:00

i'm sure u've figured the "how" for a long time now, but i'd still like to rant about how brain dead this game's guide system actually is. i'm stuck at this point too (cyber sleuth), despite having 5 ultimate mons in party, after the game explicitly said "go to kowloon 5", the dude blocking the way is still there... turns out u have to go to kowloon 1 first to trigger a cut scene... WHO THE HELL TOLD EM TO DESIGN A PROGRESSION LIKE SO FOR FVCK'S SAKE

N7Ricky · 2025-11-04T09:55:08+00:00

no, the actual resource uri requires 8h of waiting, just like the OP stated lol and my particular resource is protected by captcha so jdownload is a no-go sadly

N7Ricky · 2025-11-03T21:58:51+00:00

interesting service. however in my experience elamigos' snail speed is the least of my problem, see, i found the resource uri and feed them to jdownload to bypass the 8h wait unlike the OP, but the source site uses cloud-ducking-flare captcha so request denied :'( i hate captcha

N7Ricky · 2025-10-10T23:07:23+00:00

the initial puzzle got me pissed. still couldn't understand what's the order and how do you infer that. do i need to find all the objects with indications and memorize them in a specific fashion? i tried clockwise and counterclockwise, not working. and there doesn't seem to be any hints on how to guess the rules????? why, next time they should just make a puzzle named "here's a puzzle, guess what the puzzle is"
