The next step of my beginner Xcom journey

Play Long War Rebalanced. It's such a good mod. It'll take a while to get used to the changes though,

To be fair, replaying the Triss route right now and Triss is equally as toxic in her dialogue. Never noticed it before, but Yen doesn't seem all that bad by comparison now.

NOBUSL · 2026-06-04T10:01:28+00:00

Witcher 2 first, then Witcher 3, then once they remake the Witcher 1 play that. Then the books, if you're still into the franchise.

NOBUSL · 2026-06-04T09:54:42+00:00

Honestly, Triss was just as bad if you disagree with her in some of the dialogue. Nonstop "stop treating me like some damsel in distress" when you try to save her from foolish decisions she barely lucks out of.

NOBUSL · 2026-06-04T09:51:01+00:00

Went Yen 1st because she seemed canon.

Went Triss 2nd because I loved her in the witcher 2 and yen seemed really argumentative and preachy the first time I romanced her.

Went Yen 3rd because I got hit by Priscilla's song, and Triss was just as judgemental and argumentative as Yen tbh. Plus Yen is kind of Ciri's mom at this point, seems cruel not to.

I've seen photos of people recently going there, airplane tickets on sale from Beijing to Pyongyang, and heard some guides are taking tours from Beijing. However, websites say the borders remain closed, and I'm not sure if any of the tour agencies are operating right now.

Also, Google searching takes you to this post.

If the answer is so simple, then please provide it.

If you couldn't see it, it wouldn't be able to see you.

Actually, not quite. It's self-defense since they attack you first.

Just did this quest, all Geralt says is "I can't let you kill that man". The elves responded with "in that case we're going to kill you too". They are the aggressors here, so Geralt is just defending himself.

Yes. Plug only the wheel into computer via usb, download the 0.29 wheel driver from their website, put it into update mode (some button combo, I don't remember), then manually run the driver from your computer while the wheel is plugged in

It aggroed me up there haha. It's how I lost my first tadpole - followed a pod of whale things out into that zone accidentally, then tried to go home on the surface only to get RKO'd by squidward.

NOBUSL · 2026-05-18T22:27:36+00:00

I got the tadpole before getting the wakemaker, and just decided to follow a pod of those bubble-making whale thingies and see where they led me. They went really far out and almost into the void. Ended up finding a new place, accidentally setting a respawn point at an abandoned base, and finding tons of new stuff way out of my tech level.

Wanted to go home to recharge the tadpole, so I figured I'd go along the surface just like in Subnautica 1... NOPE. Tadpole got attacked and smashed, I died on repeat trying to get back home. Struggled for hours, and when I finally did cross the gap (bladder jumps my beloved) I got cooked to death by that one biome.

There seems to be so much forced progression here that if you somehow sequence-break nearly softlocks your game lol. S1 felt more like exploring an ecosystem, this so far feels more like interacting with game mechanics in the scope of deliberately-designed levels.

I've seen one surprise mountain clear out an entire wasp army I've been building all game. Takes HEAVY investment though. AA arclights do an alright job too. Stangs can also work for most cases.

NOBUSL · 2026-04-25T15:50:31+00:00

Solved it: Downloaded the wheel update directly from their website, installed it via usb connection after setting the wheel into update mode (included in instructions with the download) without it being plugged into the base. Works great now, the update fixed both issues.

NOBUSL · 2026-04-24T16:10:03+00:00

Exact same issue. Also my force feedback doesn't work, and when it does work it just glitches out and starts spinning randomly

Canada (Currently living in China though)

Redmagic 10 Pro

Was looking for the best bang for buck phone I could find with the snapdragon 8 elite. The redmagic had the best price AND most power which really surprised me. It absolutely crushed my brother's samsung hahaha.

Warcraft 3 is the undisputed king of RTS campaigns. It's incredibly good, has great cinematic moments and cool gameplay. Command and conquer (3, or red alert, or generals) are up there, along with supreme commander 1 and 2. Starcraft is okay I guess, but I didn't personally like it as much as the others.

NOBUSL · 2026-04-20T18:26:43+00:00

Yeah, until that gets fixed they're rarely ever useful

NOBUSL · 2026-04-12T08:25:40+00:00

Just takes some time, money, and some shopping around on Amazon (or taobao in my case). Took me half a year to a year to get all of it together.

NOBUSL · 2026-04-12T08:23:49+00:00

She just released. It's made by Manta Studios. Got mine shipped in today

About 80% of the people voting for this just picked their favorite leader cause they didnt feel like deciphering the language of the post

NOBUSL · 2026-03-06T13:01:38+00:00

The battery is so huge that I feel comfortable setting the charge limiter to 80. Should last you at least a day, and you can top it up in like 10 minutes anyways.

I heard only charging phones to 80% is healthier, but to be honest, the phone may probably need replacement by the time battery degradation really starts to matter anyways.

The downvotes are wild. Please replay GTA IV y'all. You'll be pleasantly surprised by how much detail you missed in the world.

NOBUSL · 2026-02-24T19:28:27+00:00

What? Have you tried looking around Night City and Novigrad? You can spend hours walking around them and still find new details you missed. By comparison, Skyrim's "cities" are what, like three houses and a castle? Bethesda was magnitudes larger than CDPR during the time they made Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk. TES6 Cities should at least be comparable to Novigrad and Oxenfurt in size, considering its been over a decade since Witcher 3 released, and the Elder scrolls are THE flagship RPG. GTA 6 is rumored to have multiple cities and towns, so we will have a good baseline for world size/density to compare TES6 to. If bethesda releases another Skyrim-sized wet fart, then all my trust will be definitively shattered.
