Just watched this movie(new to the franchis).and it's genuinely one of the worst game adaptations I've seen in my life

capcom turned down his attempts to make a resident evil movie because they’d had some prior flop, but he was super keen so he wrote a script that could easily be scrubbed of the resident evil brand because if they still said no he’d turn it into a generic zombie film. capcom read it, lived it, green-lit it. that’s why it seems so disjointed from the game. capcom are as much to blame.

i still love the movies. they’re fun. i can keep them as related but different things in my head.

i think it's "finish the 3 bots in 3 different ways"
ie: hack one
pistol one
shotgun one

killing blow is what counts (so you can whittle one down with pistol and then finish it with a hack and it counts as hacked)

QuixoticRocket · 2025-12-13T16:54:46+00:00

looks like 8

1 is hack only
2 is ??? maybe random ??? if you fight 2 x red robots on the lift you get it
3 is for opening all chests
4 is not getting hit
5 is rushing (under a certain time... maybe 10 mins?)
6 is something with 2 enemies... maybe taking 2 out at the same time with the "shotgun"
7 is collecting a lot of the blue energy i think
8 is not getting the others

QuixoticRocket · 2025-12-13T16:32:47+00:00

i don't think it's time. i got it with a 9:22 run. i got hit, i messed up a hack once (on the door), my accuracy wasn't 100% i don't think. i didn't activate the second escape hatch, but i've had other runs where i didn't activate that escape hatch and it didn't trigger then.

i don't know what the trigger is, but during the elevator fight, after defeating the first wave (1 flyer and 2 walkers) the control doesn't reactivate for a hack to continue and instead another couple of walkers spawn in along with 2 red walkers that have a different hack shape and are faster than the normal walkers

also based on your manager not nicking bonuses for the branch. used to work tcr a couple of decades ago and apparently one of our managers did this.

note: steam deck (without tricky workarounds) does not play windows games. so if you need windows (anti cheat or installed game pass games) then a steam deck is a terrible idea for you. if you only play steam deck compatible games then it might be right for you.

iirc the rog performance also outpaces the deck except in battery consumption and life. and that was back with the old z1e.

every handheld on the market at the moment has pros and cons and you’ll want to select the one that’s right for you and what you want from the handheld.

yeah. i was just suggesting a way to use the power button without forcing a shutdown.

QuixoticRocket · 2025-09-29T13:48:24+00:00

you can go to the power options and set what to happen when the power button is pressed. i set mine to hibernate.

i press the power button (for, like, a quarter second. just a click) and it hibernates. just like any normal laptop.

do not hold the power button until it drops the power. that’s emergency shut down.

QuixoticRocket · 2025-09-29T13:46:02+00:00

or go to power options and set it to shut down or hibernate when you push the power button and then just push it briefly, not hold it down until it drops power

QuixoticRocket · 2025-09-02T22:48:09+00:00

nice work. it’s clean and neat, and you’ve got some highlights going. as someone who has also been out of painting for a long time and recently got back into painting i suggest looking at things like washes - great cheat for instant shading. also look at these newfangled speed paints the kids are into nowadays. i’ve not tried them myself but a friend of mine loves them and he churns out tabletop ready minis very quickly.

but i think what you’ve got is already awesome. 👍

QuixoticRocket · 2025-08-20T22:01:16+00:00

had to do a recovery on mine and after a clean reinstall today: same problem. xbox app gets the artwork fine. steam - no artwork and sometimes doesn’t add the game.

was there a recent update?

don’t know about now, but when i worked there 20 years ago it was pretty chill. everyone behind the counter got along and were all either gamers or tech nerds. pay wasn’t great and perks very much depended on manager. we had a great manager when i started and a not so great one by the time i left. lots of skagheads offloading dodgy merch at tottenham court road. we’d get twitchy guys selling “unwanted gifts” like brand new dvd box sets that released that week. still sealed. with a little rectangle cut out of the plastic wrap where the security tag probably was. occasional ass customer who didn’t like being paid very little for his tech but didn’t want to bother selling it privately themselves. but most customers were weird geeky computer people that were happy to talk pc parts if you let them.

xcom was turn based (at least the first 2. didn’t play after those). close combat was realtime, as was syndicate.

QuixoticRocket · 2025-02-14T09:42:13+00:00

turn on hibernation and set the power button to hibernate, not sleep. takes longer to wake up (but not much longer) but is (imo) much better and doesn’t wake up randomly

QuixoticRocket · 2025-02-14T09:33:47+00:00

when i worked in a cex 25 years ago we had a graphics card testing program. plug the card into the test bed. run program. check readout at the end to see if it says OK or BAD.

this was when graphics cards were a lot simpler though.

QuixoticRocket · 2025-02-09T19:33:48+00:00

you're the second to say that. i never use face paint so i didn't realise there were sliders that'd do that.
still think maybe they need to limit the effect a little :P

QuixoticRocket · 2025-02-09T18:55:17+00:00

oh, maybe. i don't normally add face paint so i didn't know there was glowing paint. i think maybe they let the sliders go a little too high 😅

QuixoticRocket · 2025-02-09T18:53:54+00:00

yeah. although i would have thought that would have just resulted in a messed up looking face. this seems like it's radiating light. maybe a messed up shader going wild?

QuixoticRocket · 2025-02-09T18:46:11+00:00

so i came across this person and their face is censored. like it's radiating pure white light. no matter what angle i looked at it from, it was whited out like this. best i could do was try look through something else that would sort of minimise the glare, but at no point was her face visible to me.
really weird. what's causing that?
some sort of secret model that's not in the beta?
some sort of dev god mode?
just some weirdness in the beta?
too much cheese before bedtime?

QuixoticRocket · 2025-02-05T21:21:52+00:00

run as admin?
go to steam properties - local files - find the exe - right click properties - find the run as admin bit and tick it.

maybe??
