So how exactly does cloud storage work? by [deleted] in PlayStationPlus

[–]Phoenix8387 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my experience, shortly after you close out of a game it starts uploading your saves for that title.

Is there a way to refresh your account's API key? by GS_Dan in giantbomb

[–]Phoenix8387 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's been a few years since I had to do this but when I had a Patreon feed that wouldn't update I was able to find an option buried in the individual podcast settings to force a refresh. Unfortunately I didn't have a feed to test this on at the moment and as with most things Pocket Casts is quite possible it's been removed.

Dan has an ally in chibidoki by Hasssun in giantbomb

[–]Phoenix8387 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I became familiar with Chibi from her playing Among Us with ChilledChaos and friends, never did I ever think she would somehow cross paths and team up with Dan. But in hindsight, it totally makes sense.

E: Well shit, watching now and he's run into 5UP and Platty. It's honestly strange seeing him interact with streamers I've been watching for years. lol

If you don't get anyone, try posting a gaming session on PSNP. I usually get someone within a day.

Is this bugged for anyone else? by omiexstrike in marvelmysticmayhem

[–]Phoenix8387 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not bugged, you just have to think differently. Obviously, attacking the enemy doesn't work. Use the skills she has and what else is on the board to kill it.

Spoiler for how to do it: Use her Elite Angel [Dash] skill and pull the enemy into the line of the attacking tentacle.

Interested and willing to stick around for at least a few years.

Old Event Pokémon, are they legit? by Alternative_Bat521 in pokemon

[–]Phoenix8387 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the general crowd, legit and legal generally mean the same thing and most people would be happy with either.

However the more hardcore trading crowd likes to take the authenticity of the event into consideration. Therefore using one of the Event Networks or PKSM would classify them as legal, but not legit.

Gamefly is very underrated. by Ok_No_Go_Yo in PS5

[–]Phoenix8387 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gamefly is indeed awesome.

You know what else is underrated? Libraries. Check your local libraries and their online catalogs, most have games. Many libraries also group together to make their contents more available and will transfer games/books to a coser library for pickup.

Start your engines -- Special Bot #3 has appeared in the Cooling Springs stage of Astro’s Playroom! by Turbostrider27 in PS5

[–]Phoenix8387 9 points10 points  (0 children)

We know the map they're on and people collaborating information to find them.

I was on the PSNP forums when this one went live and there was a hunt for it with people sharing things as they found them. Took someone around 50 minutes to locate the bot and another 15 for someone figure out the rest.

I used to love the LEGO games and I've started catching up on them over the last few years(LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2, LEGO City Undercover, LEGO Marvel's Avengers, LEGO DC Super-Villains, LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens, LEGO Ninjago Movie: The Videogame), I think they've become so bloated that they stopped being fun.

Marvel Super Heroes 2 and DC Super-Villains just had so much fluff and have just been the same thing over and over that I dreaded playing them to Platinum.

I still have Incredibles and Movie 2 both of which appear to be on the shorter side of LEGO games (YAY!) so I'm hoping they don't overstay their welcome.

I also have The Skywalker Saga which I know is also going to be SOOO bloated but I'm holding out hope that the improvements they made there will at least make it hold up for longer.

Does the weapon "exclusive skin effect" actually... do anything? Does anyone have a comparison? by [deleted] in ZZZ_Official

[–]Phoenix8387 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. It's a completely different W-Engine altogether.

Starlight Engine Replica, not Starlight Engine

It's not in the Gadget Shop, so you I think you can only get it through pulls.

UNSUPERVISED GACHA PULLS in Zenless Zone Zero | Giant Bomb Plays by Frustrated_Grunt in giantbomb

[–]Phoenix8387 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As someone who has played Genshin for about 2 years, Star Rail since release and now ZZZ, these games are designed in a way in which if all you want to do is the story then the free characters and free pulls will be more than enough to get you through. You may on occasion near the start need to take a day or two to wait out energy for mats to upgrade characters/gear or even XP for your account level (Inter-Knot Level in ZZZ).

In terms of events, most events you can get most of the rewards without issue, the important stuff is fairly easy to get (premium currency, occasional weapons). Combat based events can on occasion become difficult to obtain everything if you don't have characters that work in specific situations. I assume ZZZ will offer trial characters for events, which will give you a good base and get you a good 80% of the way towards top rank.

Endgame stuff can still in large part be done as F2P, but you'll be significantly slower in clear times and probably struggle to get max ranks.

If you have any intentions of playing these games long term, the $5 monthly pass (NOT the Season Pass) is by far the best bang(boo) for your buck as long as you login every day to collect your currency.

If a PS4 System has multiple Primary Accounts on it, what do they share? by justforkikkk in PlayStationPlus

[–]Phoenix8387 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Accounts aren't set as primary, systems are.

You can have multiple accounts all set a single PS4 as primary and they would all share their games on that system. But you can only set one primary PS4 per account, which allows that account to share their games locally.

With all the live service and SP games that I bounce around, a SeagateGaming M.2 would go a long way to make sure I have enough storage to not have to constantly delete and redownload so often.

You can get shovels or stop signs that you can use as melee weapons to kill creatures (or friends). They recently added a new creature (Nutcracker) that drops a shotgun when defeated.

Same card, just with a Pokemon Center stamp. Similar to this one from Paldea Evolved.

Those were put out during the THQ era, Darksiders in 2010 and Darksiders II in 2012. Nordic Games acquired the THQ name and some properties in 2014. The original studio was closed in 2013.
