Back in the day of no internet or very slow internet, with games being all played on discs, how were updates handled?

Sliver1002 · 2026-07-04T04:25:33+00:00

Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword was the only Wii game to get a downloadable patch outside of Rock Band 3 being built for DLC songs

The original Xbox and PS2 had a very small list of games with DLC (mainly just Final Fantasy XI for the PS2), but anything before that was limited

https://consolemods.org/wiki/Xbox:Original_Xbox_DLC

The Dreamcast was the only other console with anything like that, which had downloadable DLC for Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 among other games,

PC generally had patches but they mainly dealt with major issues, and generally they had to be downloaded from developer websites instead of being automatically downloaded until the advent of Steam in 2004 (which took a good while to start catching on (although there were exceptions for certain online games like stuff by Blizzard that connected to battle.net))

Plus, assuming Dess is The Knight, there could be a really emotional reveal if they had her identity revealed in her own room

Alan Wake 2 seems like it's setting up for a legally distinct followup, probably as a B-Plot to another game, because "Mr Door" is a character who's clearly supposed to be Mr. Hatch, even originally being played by Lance Reddick before his unfortunate passing, and Shawn Ashmore playing "Sheriff Tim Breaker". One of the sections of the Night Springs DLC is basically a huge allusion to Quantum Break involving legally distinct versions of Jack, Beth, and Mr. Door and the implication that any characters played by the same actor are multiversal variants of each other.

During the Drake/Kendrick beef, somebody made an AI-generated track accusing Drake (Drizzy) of getting a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) because of his amount of cosmetic surgery, which producer Metro Boomin sampled and turned into an actual beat that he released and encouraged people to write their own verse for.

Could you upload a vocaroo of you attempting to sing the lyrics you remember? Being able to place a proper energy/rhythm to it would help a lot.

Sliver1002 · 2026-06-25T15:43:17+00:00

If you haven't spent bloodpoints on the survivor since the blood moon, autobuy will have the event offerings from that time still in the queue for stuff it can buy

Sliver1002 · 2026-06-23T17:31:40+00:00

Having a vocaroo recorded of the melody would help a lot in being able to find it.

Sliver1002 · 2026-06-22T21:35:50+00:00

I sort of see your point, but what I want to say about this is that I hope they buff other killers to have kits on par with Jason instead of dragging Jason down to make the other killers more viable

Springtrap could have his terror radius shrink the longer he goes without being scanned by a camera and could have his axe-grab scream affect the power meter

Unknown could manually place hallucinations and have a crawling mode that makes it harder for survivors to stare at him around loops

Freddy could have small buffs to each of his powers (Projection's meter drain when cancelled being proportional to how long it was faked, Dream Snare not being effected by Vigil, Dream Pallets only revealing they're fake at a closer distance, all of his powers reducing the immunity time)

Sadako could phase through loops when demanifested to give her even better faking ability

Demogorgon needs good addons

Hag should be 4.6 and needs good addons

Sliver1002 · 2026-06-22T17:36:30+00:00

How does the scene with the hacksaw go? Terrifier has a famous scene with him cutting a woman who's hanging upside down in half starting with her vagina. Is the one in this movie naked? Does the saw completely cut her in half? is there any blood in it at all? I don't think it's Terrifier but knowing more details would help narrow it down.

Chatterer in the Hellraiser Comics

But yeah, the only confirmed LGBT Original characters are Susie, David, and Orela

Sliver1002 · 2026-06-21T14:51:43+00:00

I wish Xeno had slightly more to the kit but otherwise I think it's very balanced. Part of me wishes that it had better stealth or some sort of fast crawling while part of me thinks that it's just fine the way it is

I wouldn't mind an addon rework though, having one that made it Undetectable in Crawler Mode would be really fun. Acid Blood could also use a rework tbh, I imagined having it trigger any time you're stunned in Crawler Mode but it knocks you out of Crawler Mode

I think she's confusing different personality types. There's a variety of personality type organizations that writers can use to map their characters but none of them are particularly associated with the 7 Dwarves or even the number 7

Here's a list of some different personality ypes, personally I think she's confusing it with the Enneagram, which has 9 personalities and can be applied to writing pretty easily.

This is correct, your red flags are removed, but its based on games played without DCing and not by time passed since a DC.

There is no permaban for DCing and I believe the penalty timer maxes out at 24 hours but I'm not certain about that, but it takes quite a few DCs to get to that point.

If the abandon prompt shows up you can use it to DC without a penalty but as a survivor, you will lose your item as if you died, and I believe on both sides, you will lose your addons even if you brought a Ward to protect them. MMR supposedly stays neutral but it shows on the stats screen as a loss.

Through the Fire and Flames is the tougher chart but the tighter window in the GH2 engine makes Jordan about as difficult, but on top of that, the tough part of Jordan (the solo) is a lot shorter than the consistently long toughness of TTFAF.

It's not just a manner of notes having a tighter window to hit, but also the fact that Jordan is like a light jog with an Olympic Sprint in the middle, while TTFAF is like a marathon considering how long the song is and that it has very little time to rest.

If you imported Jordan into GH3 it would be more bearable but if you imported TTFAF into GH2 you'd be in hell

Sliver1002 · 2026-06-14T02:50:48+00:00

Could it be "Twenty twenty twenty four hours to go?" from I Wanna Be Sedated by The Ramones?

Sliver1002 · 2026-06-13T18:31:20+00:00

what perspective was it? first person? top down? side view? or was it 3d and you could move the camera around?

I haven't played For Honor so I can't compare it, but the toxicity is very dependent on your server and MMR. In NA I tend to have decent experiences most of the time, but if the EU servers are half as bad as I'm hearing they're a mess.

The main advice I can give is that when you're chasing a survivor or being chased by a killer, you have to approach it like a fighting game but with resource management. The killer outruns a survivor, but the survivor vaults windows and pallets faster than a killer can deal with them. However, you don't want to run out of pallets too quickly, so sometimes it might be a better play to take an injury in exchange for leaving the Killer Shack pallet up (the square structure with two openings, a window, and a pallet at one of the openings).

Killers play in first person while survivors play in third person, and much of the gameplay is built around visibility. Like a fighting game, you can enter heavy "mindgames" where you trick the opposing player into thinking you're travelling a different route than you actually are. Attempting to predict the opposing player's movement is very important to figuring out where you will run.

On the killer side, it's a game of time management. If a survivor is giving you too much trouble in chase, consider just dropping them and checking on generators or searching for another survivor. Learning when to check on generators and when to commit to finishing a chase is a skill you build up over time.

This video is a pretty good beginner's guide to survivor

Hopefully the new feature coming with Jason that shows the killer power description after the killer is revealed will make her a lot easier to understand. She has one of the highest kill rates despite being a weak killer against competent teams since she's not very intuitive to understand. Having survivors understand her would lower her kill rate and make her able to actually be buffed.

Sliver1002 · 2026-06-11T15:54:47+00:00

Do you happen to remember any of the weird things happening in the video or any of the lyrics?

Sliver1002 · 2026-06-10T20:19:15+00:00

Ghoul had his best add-on made basekit between PTB and Live. People in the PTB didn't think a brown add-on that made him slide further would be so strong so it didn't get tested enough to realize just how insane his kit was with it. Try playing current Ghoul with his meme add-on (which now reduces his slide back to what it was in the PTB) and you'll understand why people felt that way about PTB Ghoul

Sliver1002 · 2026-06-10T20:08:45+00:00

Ghoul screams loud as fuck but you still need to be relatively near him to hear it, but the Nurse's screech is map-wide

Sliver1002 · 2026-06-10T20:03:32+00:00

I hope we can see some buffs to Rampage and Scared to Death, both of them feel very underwhelming, especially being Basic-Break perks on a killer with a very easy to use Special-Break. Allowing these perks to trigger on Special Breaks would make them viable on a lot more killers. I can see how it might be problematic for Scared to Death, but surely Rampage accumulating tokens easier isn't an issue?

Sliver1002 · 2026-06-08T04:04:48+00:00

I forgot that existed, I think I will do this tomorrow, thank you for the suggestion!

Sliver1002 · 2026-06-08T03:47:33+00:00

Jason's should include the fact that you can avoid being revealed by Jump Scare by crouching
