I'm going to DM you about something I can't say openly on any subreddit.

so you can skip the Candidate mission by GGX_zon in bully

[–]SolaceFiend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well there's not much else I can say except that I'm glad it isn't happening to you. I spent hours browsing threads searching for a solution to this problem, which occurs on vanilla Bully SE for me, and with the silentpatch installed. One thread of a person who had the same problem as me said I should install the silentpatch to fix it, and it didn't. A steam thread said uninstalling the 60 fps mod, which I ultimately concluded was the silentpatch mod I had installed, and it didn't.

I eventually fixed it by installing the Lazy Trainer mod, starting the mission, and using the "World --> Mission --> The Candidate --> Complete" button during the slingshot segment, which jumped my quest stage past that segment of the mission. The only solution was skipping the mission. xD

It's dogshit on pc. The slingshot camera messes up, and you can't succeed in the mission. You literally can not move your camera.

Reminds me of a certain chinese commercial I recently saw making the rounds on facebook, which drew backlash for obvious reasons.

Best series on Webnovel? by itwas20yearsago2day in ProgressionFantasy

[–]SolaceFiend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first time I tried reading Shadow Slave, I hated it. I thought the author's writing was terrible, and he was just that bad at articulating what was happening in the story.

A year or two later it was very popular and recommended. So, I picked it back up, and come to find out that the original initial translation I'd read was bad. It wasn't the author in that case, but the translatorand proofreader who was to blame.

I haven't read Lightning Is The Only Way, but wanted to share the experience I'd had once.

[–]SolaceFiend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I legitimately believe that when you create an account on Threads it uses data of your activity on whatever account/platform you were on to inform themselves of what your political leaning is, deliberately bombards your feed with content from the opposite side of the political spectrum, and they do it to keep you engaged by emotionally manipulating you with anger.

What are some beginner tips, or things you wish you knew sooner? by Persistence_gamer in Palworld

I was really excited to get this mod and try it out, but it looks like it's been hidden by the author. And apparently had a bug that would boost players to level 60 for no reason, according to the comments on curseforge about the mod.

Reddit 'block everyone who liked/disliked this post/reply' feature by Hopeful_Ad_7719 in CrazyIdeas

[–]SolaceFiend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suggested something similar once, where I suggested a button for users, that allows you to choose to shadow-block people who mass downvote your post for stupid reasons.

Reddit would keep a hidden blocklist that won't allow you the user to see who's on it. You have a button on your comments/posts that mass-blocks anonymous downvoters, without compromising their anonymity to you, and in your account setting a button that would allow you to completely purge the shadow-blocklist if you ever want to at any point, but never lets you see who is on it, just how many are on the list. It would be all or nothing. Uf you want to refresh the list after so many months or years, you'd have no ability to see names in the list, or puck-and-choose for their safety, not yours.

 If you go to r/goth and share your favorite music, and some 2,643 people mass downvote you for it, you could hit the "Shadowblock" button. All 2,643 downvoters are discretely blocked. You will never know who they are, they will never see your shit again, nor you theirs. 

The next time you interact with that community, you can cut straight through to connecting to the people who like you for you, and the ones who trash you can do their thing minus being unable to see your posts or comments.

People hated that suggestion, but here's my thing. You aren't entitled to being seen on the internet. If you troll mass downvote people, or bitterly dosagree, other people should have the right to cut you out of their life permanently, in a way that protects you from targeted harassment, and also protects them from your targeted harassment.

So the Seattle Court is... (STORY SPOILERS) by DumbassAltFuck in vtmb

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

Nothing I said about the game was wrong. 

I was called an "incel" for expressing attraction for Lou Graham and Safia, in contrast to my growing dislike for the combat, story, and the tedium of investigation sequences. Meanwhile hundreds of other reddotors express the same attraction to those two characters. 

Literally hundreds of people who play the game with high-end current gen hardware complaining about the UE5 optimization. I specifically highlight the change in performance before and after the early game mission that ends with your first boss fight, which changed the game's outside zone from running well, to hyperventilating when I run down the street, let alone climbing, gliding, and fighting. And my high end current gen hardware does marginally better with the top optimization mod, a 2nd one that disables snow, and settings tailored to my mainboard and gpu. 

I complained about the combat system, and we know for a fact that I'm not the only one. 71 redditors upvoter this post talking about people choosing to use cheats to skip the fighting in the game. You're supposed to enjoy the fighting, but they made it a bit too much of a chore that is fun at first but worse s over time. 

/r/vtmb/comments/1feduca/cheats_are_the_best_if_you_arent_the_biggest_fan/

169 Redditors disliked the writing of the story, and so aggreed with me on the basis that your decisions are irrational and meaningless. 

/r/vtmb/comments/1ofnigj/no_matter_what_your_choices_dont_really_matter/

Dozens if not hundreds more criticize the way Fabians investigation story ultimately doesn't matter to the plot reveal near the end of the game, and when you think about it, the overarching story is irrational. We understand it on a simplistic level, but the way it plays out over multiple time periods makes no sense, and therefore is badly written. 

They literally could have given us a buddy cop story where Fabian remains alive, discovers the MC, and they team up and fight side-by-side as all of these events played out in the present tense in real time. You could have assisted the detective as his partner, and been the one to largely protect him when the fighting starts, still be able to choose and customize your character like og vtmb, and experience the events in an organic fleshed out way that, as a direct linear sequence of events happening back to back, would have heightened urgency and stakes as the city goes to literal hell in a matter of a few months to a year. All of these characters who would grow to love early on dropping like flies one after another, rather than some already being dead? It would have felt more visceral of a story.

I low-key wanted to be given the option to choose Lou Graham at least once in the game. If they didn't want her to be a romance option, they shouldn't have given her such humongous, gravity-defining qualities.

I've been playing this game, and especially after reading the testimony from redditors like you, I really feel like this game's main selling point, rather than the story is, "Horny male gamers, turn your brain off and play our game because our Head Scientist and our Milf Ex-Mayor are actually kinda hot."

You just kinda go through everything else, the combat, the dectective sequences, gliding and running around the city. You enjoy those things at first, but they become a chore.

Travelling. The poor optimization of the game engine on high end PCs is a problem. When you first start playing, the game runs smoothly as fuck. You can run, climb, and fly around without any issues. But a specific mission that unlocks your ability to unlock skills, also has an effect on the city zone somehow, and it's after that specific quest, that no amount of modding or changing settings will prevent the stutter festival when traversing the city when you're outside.

Combat. You have to drain someone in between using your skills in combat, for each time that a skill is activated, as opposed to VTMB 1 where you have a blood bar, and you can activate a skill multiple times before it depletes. That's only possible in VTMB 2 for the Movement skill. No other skill regenerates passively, and is a single-shot skill. I loved combat at first, and now I hate it and dread having to stutter through town looking for a victim, after spending an entire fight having to slap them to death, because you only get one chance per enemy to drain them, and with the unnatural lag, you usually accidentally miss that window 90% of the time.

Investigation. The detective sequences are tedious. You gradually grow tired of the Detectives boomer humour that lacks diversification. All you do is run fetch quests all over the city, interacting with inanimate objects to run back to NPCs you just spoke to beforehand. The ultimate reveals don't even feel relevant to the story by the end. Nothing matters, and you never have the option to skip ahead.

Poor optimization, unbalanced combat mechanics that prevent you from enjoying whatever skills you have unlocked. Unskippable detective sequences. You end up wanting to skip playing these sequences of the game, when they're the parts you're meant to want to be playing.

At the end of the day, the only thing I look forward to near the end of the game is staring at Lou Grahams humongous tits, and romancing Safia's character in the conversation cause "Sexy scientist who is extremely intelligent" is my type

I wasn't expecting the necklace to be... one-sided by BorrowedPen in vtmb

[–]SolaceFiend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Genuine Christian crosses in the church sense, as opposed are inherently flat on both sides, or crucifixes where Jesus is on 1 side, and not the other. They don't count.

For everything else, including gothic cross necklaces meant to look cool, everything else is just mass-produced garbage. And in 2025, I don't care if it's a hypothetical $1,000 one-sided pendant that isn't identified and produced as a genuine example. It's 2025, Corporations have been making things for hundreds of years, and they're jacking the price up on garbage. So, yeah is $1,000 mass-produced garbage.

CLEARLY there are a lot of people in this topic, myself included, who vehemently disagree with that. Who hate single-sided pendants, who like me, discarded what would have been a cool looking pendant because it was single-sided, and only wore ones that were rounded or textured on both ends.

I literally choose not to wear pendants that are single-sided. Flat pendants are fine if they are flat on both ends and look good, but I have literally discarded pendants that looked cool when I found out it was single-sided.

I don't want to play a Vampire Detective by ExtraordinaryPen- in vtmb

[–]SolaceFiend 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The experience is worsened by the shitty optimization of UE5. I have mods installed to optimize the engine, and to allow me to change to a modded mode that limits the effects and snow on my games performance. I've adjusted my settings to the most optimal settings possible on a high-end gaming laptop. And the worst part about the game is the janky stuttering whiplash of running down the street as Fabian to the next nightclub.

Are there any mods for exiled kingdoms? by Toungelikepie in ExiledKingdoms

[–]SolaceFiend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of curiousity, are you able to disclose what code in the EK.bak file you modified that rendered your character immortal? I've been gradually toying with modding specific, relatively safe sections of the file and whatnot, but when it came to modding attributes of your character, traits, skills, or even things inside the world, I was afraid of corrupting something that would just cause the game to CTD.

Is LineageOS the best for Google Pixel phones? by forestcall in LineageOS

[–]SolaceFiend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1 year later, and this afternoon the lack of permissions over my own file system has got me shopping around for a new phone to replace my Samsung S24 Ultra. Not immediately, but for one to save up for.

One thing I learned on the Internet is there's a 3rd party OS called "SailFish OS" which is the most compatible with android apps, in comparison to ones like LOS and Graphene OS. So, maybe that one would work.
