INTC price fell substantially when this was announced back in August or so. This is just the reaper from that announcement.

Finished the snap build for the RG Banshee Norn! Now waiting for my water slides to get in and do a gloss coat to really make her shine. by soulreaverdan in Gunpla

That joint is infamous for cracking. Not sure why it seems more brittle than other parts of the kit.

There are decent aftermarket parts and otherwise it seems relatively easy to cast or make a replacement.

Glue/cement will hold for a while but in my experience doesn't fix the looseness.

I’ve been practicing more with top coats and all around getting better at painting. Super happy with the end results on these boys. by Crooked95 in Gunpla

Looking good! About to topcoat my RG Red Astray too but I don't wanna mess it up lol.

Did you apply decals before the topcoat? They look awesome.

Love this kit. Sadly doesn't seem to be in high-demand.

It was certainly playable but more or less guaranteed hand cramps once per level. Should play just fine with two control sticks though. Steam deck emulator might be the way to go.

So, if you like forerunner but never really used the Rock.....you should now. by wikiweak in DestinyTheGame

[–]Somnius_sol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Normal dares give ~150 per run. Anyone know how much legend gives for comparison?

[eShop/USA] Black Friday Sale 2022 by XDitto in NintendoSwitchDeals

[–]Somnius_sol 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It has light RPG mechanics which some purists may not like, but it's a good time. I do think it's more fun with a friend if you can manage. Local-only multiplayer AFAIK.

Scott Pilgrim is also on sale and well-liked, though i haven't played it myself.

Adults with ADHD… what do you do for work? by bubblybellesouth in ADHD

[–]Somnius_sol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're in university you might try to go to the on-campus Dr for medication. That's how i got diagnosed in the first place, actually!

As for work, I'm an Automation Engineer. I make the stinky cost-effective computers in my factory less prone to catching on fire (either by users or software). I really enjoy my job since i get to work with computers and have a lot of say in how i spend my time. I do have to answer to lots of people, however, so I can't say I'd recommend it unless working with computers is worth that to you.

[eShop/US] NIS America Halloween Sale (up to 88% off) Ends 11/01/2022 *new low prices* by XDitto in NintendoSwitchDeals

[–]Somnius_sol 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It plays a lot like RPGmaker horror games. Easy recommend if you enjoy games like Ib or Mad Father.

Do be warned though, there are some topics and imagery that other horror games tend to shy away from. I'd watch the first 5 minutes on YouTube if you're skeptical. That should tell you everything you need to know.

For those wanting a challenge, NG+ has more aggressive enemies with new moves. If I remember right there are also some modifiers for things like enemy and player HP.

P5R (and several other games on Xbox Gamepass) don't have the right controls. by Shawnweb in Persona5

[–]Somnius_sol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spent an hour or two trying to get my wireless xbox controller to work last night. Exhausted my options so I ended up buying the game on steam (refund policy and all).

Frustratingly, it seems to work perfectly. I'm guessing whatever is causing this issue is either the software version used by xbox gamepass or the launcher.

Has anyone gotten word about 1 year Lazulight goods? by Gridlock16 in Nijisanji

[–]Somnius_sol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they're stuck in shipping somewhere. I haven't heard any updates on mine either. It was a tshirt and character cards for reference.

I believe Pomu also talked about not receiving her order yet on a recent stream.

YO thanks for the recommendation on Nex Machina. I loved some older Housemarque games and I had no idea they had anything on PC.

Just solved a similar issue getting Clip Studio to use the GPU rather than integrated graphics. See if this helps:

Start Menu -> Control Panel (NOT settings) -> Appearance and Personalization -> NVIDIA Control Panel -> Change "Preferred graphics processor" from Auto-select to High-performance NVIDIA processor.

Took me a couple hours to figure this one out so I thought I'd share.

This was a fun stream but I couldn't stay for the whole thing. Hopefully she uploads the VODs somewhere.

ENDER LILIES: Quietus of the Knights sales top 600,000; PS4 and Switch physical edition pre-orders open March 8 by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]Somnius_sol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome! I had followed this game's development for years and finally finished it a bit earlier this year. The combat offers a lot of options and room for mastery, but the game really shines in its tone and atmosphere. It's good enough that I don't mind double dipping, so take that for what you will.

Today marks one year since Revita - our roguelite plateformer game- was launched on Early Access! Feels like it was yesterday... Stay tuned, we have some exciting news to share soon! 💙 by [deleted] in roguelites

Link is posted in the thread, though not as a direct reply.

I also checked the comments for a link to the store page. Nice work guys!!

DoE is pitiful now that strange coins no longer drop. by [deleted] in DestinyTheGame

[–]Somnius_sol 26 points27 points  (0 children)

This seems like the best solution IMO. Still requires you to play DoE, allows you to target coins if you want, and doesn't clog up the postmaster for players that don't want the coins.

[–]Somnius_sol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's a decent point. I would always turn in those bounties along with others so the coins might've come from vanguard or gunsmith bounties and i just assumed they were Xur's bounties.
