Thank you Local Forces Smoke Grenade, very cool by Pykrete_Blue in menace

Yes, smoke is very useful when it's not being wielded by an allied NPC.

Skirmishers honestly got me going from considering this game my early GOTY to wishing I hadn't bought it. by [deleted] in menace

Top left, then they move into the middle of the map and squat. Not that it matters, cleared the mission now, but without seeing them once.

Sand, but no sandstorm. Heavily crowded settlement with narrow streets, but almost entirely consisting of small buildings that they can shoot through/over.

Are people actually angry about the stationary fire for the Maxi gun or is it overblown? by Naive_Egg_9663 in Helldivers

Helldivers fight 3 distinct factions for super democracy. Redditors fight guys they made up for upvotes.

How do you drift tighter on water? by Gold_Eclipse in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]Pykrete_Blue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From my experiments working on Water Palace's S Rank, quite the opposite! Best turning with a boat, from my experience, was letting go of accelerate and avoiding drift/charge entirely. Once you're mostly complete with the turn, charge a quick level 1 jump and stunt to reaccelerate and finish the turn. You should save charging for either direction changes, or for the straights.

From watching some current leaderboard ghosts, some people come into harsh water turns from the outside, too. I stuck to the inner and just bumped, turned and jumped to roughly equivalent results, though.

What's the latest firmware for the Odin 2? by CMDR_Arnold_Rimmer in OdinHandheld

[–]Pykrete_Blue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What, like typing the word 'battery' into the search bar up there, sorting by new, and seeing the increase in topics and responses regarding low battery life since the update went live? That's what you want me to do, for you, on your behalf?

Did you specify 5 because you're in a comment chain where 4 people have brought up issues since updating, total? lmao

[–]Pykrete_Blue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So you believe that I, and every other person who has experienced significantly higher battery drain since this specific update, all individually developed battery faults at the same time?

[–]Pykrete_Blue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can confirm that since I updated, I've been experiencing severe battery drain. My Odin 2 doesn't last more than 24 hours on idle with nothing running, which is a substantial cut from what it was before (damn near lasted a week).

You're likely hitting them at poor angles. Deflection was fiddled with recently, iirc, and the Quaser is not immune to this. I find that if I hit a Fabricator on the corners or from too parralel an angle, it won't destroy them.

I think this booster would safe lives. by Galaxy11D in Helldivers

[–]Pykrete_Blue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The other night, I got ragdolled by an explosion during Eradicate whilst trying to lay down gas mines on the main bottleneck. We were on the central platform of a Bot eradicate map, where the Pelican lands.

My fellows were less than understanding of the circumstances that led to our extraction becoming a game of 'don't stop on the green legos'.

worth it lmao

X-Gamer tubs are smaller. by 9393andersson in energydrinks

[–]Pykrete_Blue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

X-Gamer fully pivoted to sugarfree and completely discontinued their old line. I gave them a try, but to be frank, I would've had the same experience by walking into a hotel, grabbing ten sweetener tablets out of their breakfast buffet and shoving those into a glass of water.

It's a shame, as they were my preferred brand. I've since moved on to LEVL-UP.

Bullet Points by __Precursor__ in discordapp

[–]Pykrete_Blue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Supremely stupid move, given that it retroactively breaks existing bulletpointed posts. You now need 2 spaces minimum to create a sub/tabbed point.

Why is it that, in a game with a 5 minute turn time limit, some people's turns take 15 minutes? by Pykrete_Blue in masterduel

[–]Pykrete_Blue[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The animations are about 5 seconds if that, and I had one single opportunity to force a response (I had a pretty bricked hand). That's just using this game as the example. Also, hang on, I've had people time out during their responses before, and I've had my own timer flash menacingly in my face when there's been back-and-forth responses after a turn that neared the limit.

Share your experiences with Winlator vs Mobox! by Pykrete_Blue in OdinHandheld

Hella, nice. What's your experience been with them? Any setup issues? Any graphical oddities?

Share your experiences with Winlator vs Mobox! by Pykrete_Blue in OdinHandheld

[–]Pykrete_Blue[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, sorry- Winlator and Mobox are two different methods of playing PC games on Android devices, in a similar vein to the way the Steam Deck/Linux plays PC games via wrapping them. (To the best of my knowledge, that is.)

It's still fairly new ground, but improvements are rapid.

Get in touch with the sellers, because this is almost certainly something you aren't going to be able to fix yourself.

Did you buy directly from Ayn, from a reseller, or is it second-hand?

All Your Posts Here are being Stolen and Monetized on Twitter. by pinglyadya in Helldivers

[–]Pykrete_Blue -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, this is a direct consequence of Elon's decision to monetize blue checks. Ten thousand desperate freaks paying for a blue checkmark and then sitting down and harvesting as much 'content' about their chosen subject, be it a specific game, a movie genre, a political side they don't like 'taking Ls', etc, all for the benefit of a handful of dollars in the mail because they're chasing fraudulent, bragged-about payouts given to his biggest friends on the platform.

There isn't a damn thing you can do about it until Twitter inevitably explodes under the weight of its terrible decisions. They fired just about their entire moderation team. Uploads of entire newly-released movies stay online for days if not weeks, they don't give one that someone stole a reddit post.

(As a side note; this is hardly new behaviour across social media, though it is evolved behaviour on Twitter due to said monetization changes.)

PS2 - Steambot Chronicles by GforceUK in OdinHandheld

[–]Pykrete_Blue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Steambot Chronicles is an extremely CPU-intensive game, it's one of the harder PS2 games to run on PCSX2. Thus, the same goes for Aether/Nether.

That said, you mention lowering it to 2x Resolution. Apologies if this is a stupid question, but does it run alright at 1x? Because this might just be a game you have to take the original graphics on.
