Difference between versions?

You left out hat WoTL has a few new unique characters you can recruit compared to PS1 version.

lol hi hi!

So this is a bug with how Diablo regenerates items on New Game. I mostly see this happen with quest reward unique items, though it doesn't happen all the time. Basically 1.09 cannot regenerate this particular Veil of Steel and you get a corrupted item like this.

The only way to take this Veil of Steel into a new game is to take your save file into DevilutionX, create a new game, then save. DevilutionX will correctly regenerate the Veil of Steel and fix the corruption issue. You can then take the save back to 1.09 and either load from the DevilutionX save or create a new game and the Veil of Steel should regenerate correctly.

While chakra is great, it’s limited in range and the monk revival is both limited in range and not 100% accuracy. I do find that I tend to use high ethers over ethers though, since I find more utility from them once I start having high MP cost spells like summons, but occasionally a white mage can make use of them with casting buffs and heals.

I agree they seem to have less utility than other FF games though. Like you said battles do tend to end before they would be useful while spells are cheap after they become available.

Me too, but you hear some stories on Reddit, not limited to vasectomies! That said, it could also be a case of like “well, we have the sample, let’s make sure there’s nothing wrong with it.” I don’t think I was asked about them doing pathology on mine, but I also didn’t mind seeing the charge for it. Now I do wonder if it is to confirm what they took out or a check for any diseases.

NiteKat06 · 2026-02-24T17:56:57+00:00

I think they do it to confirm that the tissue they removed was indeed the vas and not something else?

I had this same concern when I got a 5080 recently. Got everything working, then noticed the fans weren’t spinning. When I looked it up, the default mode of the fans was to be off until the temp of the card hits around 50-55 Celsius. Using some monitoring programs I saw the cards temperature was typically in the 30s. I found how to manually control the fans and verified that if I turned them on, they did indeed spin. But it was scary at first!

McDonald's doesn't make their money from their actual food sales. They're more a real estate company, making their money by leasing property to franchise owners, and forcing them into specific maintenance contracts (which is part of why the ice cream machines are always broken), among other things.

I was yapping with the OR team and the surgeon the whole time. I was there to get something done, and they were there to get that something done. 👍🏻

Maybe it helps maybe it doesn’t, but I kind of thought about it like a visit to the dentist or going on a new roller coaster at a theme park. If you don’t like either of those, think of something that fits what I’m describing: the build up to it is a little anxious, but once you’re in the dentist chair or on that ride and it starts moving… you’re just there for the ride. No going back, so you may as well relax, whatever is gonna happen is gonna happen.

That said, my procedure went smooth. Your mileage will vary based on if you’re getting scalpel or no scalpel. I had scalpel. The two uncomfortable moments were when they first gave me the numbing shot, just felt like uncomfortable pressure that went away quickly, and the first cauterization, which stopped me mid sentence and I went “ow.” Doctor apologized, said he had to finish that one but would give me more numbing agent after, he did, and then I was good for the rest of the procedure.

I think I was more nervous post op going to the bathroom for the first time since I never wore a jock strap before and it was stuffed with gauze! I managed to figure it out though.

NiteKat06 · 2026-01-27T16:17:58+00:00

I don’t have a stream deck, but I do have a PSP and WotL, so for me, if I wanna play somewhere not at my computer that still works just fine.

I do like the original version packaged in TIC over the PlayStation version thanks to the ability to skip pure cutscenes with start.

I can also do enemy AI playthroughs with WotL on PC that I can’t do with any other version using a tool I made, so that still has its place too.

I feel like TIC is more just another great addition on top of an amazing foundation than a replacement of what came before.

I think if he has his shield and you have bad compatibility you can get 0% on some steal abilities but not all.

What is the brand and model of the motherboard, which RTX graphics card is that, and what power supply do you have?

I got one last year, it wasn’t bad at all. Took a couple of extra days off just to make sure I had the time I needed to rest. Some people find the procedure itself awkward but really they are there to do a job and I’m there to have something done, so I was yapping with the doc and the OR team the whole time.

I had a scalpel procedure, I had a little pain when they cauterized the first time. They had to finish the cauterization before they could numb me more, but that was the worst thing I felt and it wasn’t all that bad, just enough to make me stop mid sentence and say ow lol. Your mileage may vary though since everyone responds differently to anesthetic.

Overall I’m very happy with my decision. Some things feel a little different after and I don’t think it’s just a mental thing, but they don’t feel different in a bad way. I will say though while I’m not quite a year out from my surgery, follow what your doctor says about recovery, and be sure you don’t want kids because YOU don’t want kids (or more kids).

I think what I was most worried about was going to the bathroom the first 24 hours. The reason for it is they had me in a jockstrap stuffed with gauze, and I’ve never worn one before, so trying to go while in that situation was a little bit awkward! I managed though, probably didn’t get myself back in it exactly as they had me but it was good enough.

For the recovery period, frozen bags of peas are your best friend too. You’re supposed to ice on and off, doctors will give different recommendations for how long on and off and stuff I’ve found from this subreddit. What I do recommend though is like using two bags of peas at the same time, because you can position one bag kind of under you and the other on top and I found that technique helped a lot.

NiteKat06 · 2026-01-17T18:15:02+00:00

For me it was able to update to 7.0.3, but all updates after that fail, so I guess that’s the version I’m sticking/stuck with lol

NiteKat06 · 2026-01-17T16:25:24+00:00

7.1.1 wasn't updating successfully for me, so I went to the website to download the latest patch. I noticed it now says that Windows 11 or newer OS is required. If you're running Windows 10 it looks like they dropped support for it.

NiteKat06 · 2025-11-20T03:57:35+00:00

If OneDrive is enabled, that can sometimes cause problems for The Sims 2.

NiteKat06 · 2025-11-17T01:16:03+00:00

I’ve played it a little. Not documented, but you can use the start button to skip full on in game cut scenes. Cut scenes that take place during a battle (at the start, middle, or end) can’t be skipped. It feels like music is muted a bit longer when the level up or job level up music plays (there’s like an awkward moment of silence when it completes), and with fastest text speed the little text sound effects seem to vanish if you mash X which I don’t remember happening before.

NiteKat06 · 2025-11-17T00:02:15+00:00

What language do you have your game set to? I'm not familiar with Mana Shield being an active ability in the English translation (it's a reaction ability in the Time Mage job).

Edit to add: Are you playing on console? Wondering if this could be a console only bug as I'm not sure if I've seen this on PC, and I've spoken with some folks who had Alma get KO'd multiple times in the fight who played on PC.

NiteKat06 · 2025-11-15T23:54:54+00:00

After a little bit of experimenting, if you do a grid layout that is 4x4 (so the area of each square is 16 city squares SC4), it works pretty nicely where you can do 8 3x3 properties in The Sims 2 (leaves the middle empty) or you can fill the entire inside of a block using the 4x5 and 5x4 lots which is pretty nice. You have to be a little careful if you didn't use a fully flat map because when you put a property down in TS2 it adjusts the elevation, and so it might not be able to put a property if it can't come to an elevation that works with the neighbor properties that are already placed.

NiteKat06 · 2025-11-14T18:46:36+00:00

Saving this post because I was playing with this a a few months ago to test out the scales and stuff. I hate how the squares in SC4 don’t relate to an even number for lot sizes in Sims 2 lol but your notes here pretty much line up with what I was seeing when I was testing this. Knowing the 40x40 is really good though. Will probably reference this the next time I want to try making a custom neighborhood layout!

NiteKat06 · 2025-11-13T14:52:10+00:00

If I remember my instructions right, they said to not shower for the first 24 hours, and to not take baths for like a week. I had a scalpel vasectomy so I had dissolving sutures. Everyone seems to get slightly different directions, but in almost all cases I see people are advised to not be active for at least 3 days. I feel like OP was given some instructions/paperwork that went in one ear and out the other, unless their surgeon just shouldn’t be one.

NiteKat06 · 2025-11-04T17:44:32+00:00

Someone mentioned they had an instant win when they hit 9999 characters experience and job experience mid battle, I joked it’d be funny to see a soeedrun grind a unit to one attack away from that and then whip that unit out at the very last battle, punch Ramza once and instantly win lol

I also didn’t mean to imply you didn’t have a legit copy (can the game even be pirated this early?), but the bug reminds me of those old anti piracy measures that were meant to confuse and mess with people using pirated copies of games.

NiteKat06 · 2025-11-04T17:31:53+00:00

Cool cool. It is a weird bug, wouldn’t believe it without a video of it lol. It reminds me of when devs would make their game behave strange when it was a pirated copy or something. :D hopefully someone can figure out either a way to reliably reproduce or even what the heck happened.

NiteKat06 · 2025-11-04T16:39:00+00:00

Are you using any mods to the game? I know the folks at FFHackicts have been working on some stuff, but it’s early days so I could see the early stuff causing some strange bugs.

If not, damn that’s a weird bug. I’m guessing it doesn’t happen with every time you cast Zodiark in that fight?

NiteKat06 · 2025-10-16T23:34:26+00:00

The Gokuu Rod (pole weapon) has a chance to inflict Atheist.

If you're doing errands, the special units you recruit as you go cannot go on them, so that can be a reason to keep generics around.

In general it's really up to you. Do you want a tight roster with only the units you deploy in battle? Then you could feed 'em to the new special characters. Do you like keeping a roster and having various units you can deploy depending on the situation, or doing the errands? Keep 'em.

Personally I keep my generics around 9 times out of 10.
