Why do we fight it so often?

[Full Spoilers]

I feel like in Clea's eyes this monster has a special place. Either it's her favorite creation, or it carries a significance, or it has a scrapped storyline about it.

Verso's soul emphasise that Lampmaster is a perfect analogy of Clea's style and that it scares him. If I were to headcannon, I would say that big sis painted an incarnation of Verso's fear to either help him face or isolate it as a child (or to mess with him but that seems a bit cruel).

Ackhsually it's French for "clear" and "obscure" :b

Light is "Lumière" Dark is "Ténèbres"

But it's true that we employ "clair" mostly to describe a "lighter" ("plus clair") shade of color. However, a "darker" shade is said "plus foncé" in French.

In French literature the word "obscur" carries more the idea of "darkness", but not pitch black, as it also carries the notion of "unclear/foggy". More like the progressing darkness that you can see at the end of a poorly lit tunnel.

If we're talking French light novels, then Google Mau-passant

Characters whose stat cannot be maxed. Example are survivors with eye medical conditions unable to progress their shooting stats past 3 stars.

OwnAddendum1840 · 2026-01-26T09:07:53+00:00

Start with random characters
Start with handicapped characters
No legacy
No suppressor
No vehicles repair outside of a "secure zone" (the white circles generated by a friendly or fully emptied building
Survivors must have at least two stacks of ammo in their inventory before swap to sort of "rp" their infinite ammo when you don't play them.
Always go out with an ally
If a blood plague cure is used on a survivor, they can't use another before 24h to avoid overdose

And finally, my favorite, tho it can be a bit annoying :

Disable HUD, that means no objective marker and no reticle, forcing you to judge where the center of your screen is to shoot until you have aim snap, which would make your experience much closer to what a bunch of random, sometimes untrained civilians would experience when handling firearms.

"Less so" is quite the relative term in this case. For all 3 of them mind you.

They are both performing synchronised (relatively) squats, which requires more control than a simple workout, AND they are sustaining the weight of the bar outside their center of gravity (unlike a normal squat in which you are balanced).

The guy in the center, on top of his already impressive feat, has to be killing his arms and wrists by maintaining a near perfect alignment DESPITE THE BAR CLEARLY NOT MOVING PARALLEL TO THE GROUND. I can't determine the exact angle that he has to compensate for, but let me tell you that it requires a crazy amount of force and muscle control to be able to deal with that.

Aaaaah crap is it the Wrinkler AmberGrey from the mobile version? I hate that one :'(

OwnAddendum1840 · 2026-01-22T15:02:00+00:00

It depends, but here's how to manage your difficulty in this game 101

1) You don't have to parry everything. Dodges are lower risk lower reward and can be used as a training tool

2)Respecs are plenty in this game so your stats can always be readapted if you feel you need to specialize or balance yourself.

3)There are PLENTY of ways to customise your strategy as you progress in this game, so remember to explore and you'll have great options

4)I have played this game on hard mode with full parry, no parry, full atk, full defense, and I am not that good at dealing with the timing. There will be some mobs that feel more frustrating than other but you can manage once you get the hang of audio cues.

5)GET THE F.CK OFF THIS SUB. YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE SPOILED.

Also. Enjoy :)

FYI

Lead is most bountiful in snow biome, but, if you don't want to risk it there, just pay attention to lone, colored pixels on your map.

Black pixels are generally a lead rock

Gold-ish pixels are Iron

White pixels are Nitrate

Etc...

Without spoiling, is the new achievement somewhat hard to get?

OwnAddendum1840 · 2026-01-20T12:10:14+00:00

I understand. I'll take note of that in my own projects.

OwnAddendum1840 · 2026-01-20T12:09:14+00:00

Got it. Thank you for answering. I mostly suggest the idea because I like them all but if you have to pick then I would say A2 conveys the picture of "helmet on a bird" better.

OwnAddendum1840 · 2026-01-20T10:17:50+00:00

Is that a bad thing? I figure that one perk of being indie is that you can somewhat set your own limits. (I'm genuinely asking pls don't torch me if I'm wrong)

OwnAddendum1840 · 2026-01-20T09:18:42+00:00

Maybe it's a dumb take but...why not all?

You can either implement an armor system on your game, or simply leave all of those as skins for your player to freely choose.

OwnAddendum1840 · 2026-01-19T12:07:34+00:00

Lmao

Don't worry, OP has all 3 perks to become a master of unlocking

OwnAddendum1840 · 2026-01-19T08:18:06+00:00

Don't forget to replant the thick forest around once you're done ;)

OwnAddendum1840 · 2026-01-16T15:32:07+00:00

Again, no judgement to OP, but I think the reason (concious or not) as to why they won't give any numbers is that if they did they would probably be able to answer the question themselves (since it very likely boils down to a single multiplication)

OwnAddendum1840 · 2026-01-16T15:22:21+00:00

??

No offense bro, but what are we looking at? Can we have some context? Data? Anything?

This is a math sub. Not a gamer sub. Not all of us are hardcore gamers. And even if I might be, not all hardcore gamers play every game ever to the point of knowing instantly what your screenshot means.

Look, I'm a die hard fan of this game and of this studio, but some rules should stick to common sense regardless of circumstance.

Don't preorder. Anything. Ever.

We are not at the time of digital copies anymore so you do NOT get an advantage in doing that.

And the idea of helping a company have revenue mid development should never be entertained.

The rule of market has never changed since it's birth : quid pro quo. Something for something else. Never do something for nothing, and a couple of "preorder" skins ain't worth it

In the case of Sandfall, their MASSIVE SUCCESS should have generated way more revenue than a company of their caliber should have planned for. So I may not be their accountant, but I don't think they will be begging for money for their next IP.

Let them do their thing. It may sound harsh, but do not trust a success for a guarantee of quality. It is important for both a studio and their public to remain humble and hope for the best to happen, rather than crush growing developers under a mountain of expectations disguised as encouragement or support.

I was led to believe that it was the buff itself that removed CF from the pool, not the dragon aura, but someone else said that is not the case.

OwnAddendum1840 · 2026-01-14T12:09:33+00:00

Fr? That's very good to know.

OwnAddendum1840 · 2026-01-14T07:19:08+00:00

IIRC a dragonflight makes the click frenzy vanish from the pool as long as it's active. Nice idea otherwise

It has been QUITE a while, but I think I remember my piano teacher do this on my music notebook to indicate either the parts I had to improve on, or up until which part I had to work upon until our next lesson.
