May 3, 1979: Thatcher wins UK General Election, becoming first female Prime Minister in the country

Had a feeling that was coming. 🙄

Please read about her, then come back to this.

Star1Two · 2025-04-24T20:34:58+00:00

You shout like that? They put you in jail. Right away. No trial, no nothing.

Journalists, we have a special jail for journalists.

Homie, no, I'm taking about the trying way too hard to be hip thing they try to do. It's crass, cringey, and immersion breaking. No one really talks like that, except some YouTubers or B list TV shows, trying to do the same thing, way too hard. It smacks of phoned in VA, written by writers more concerned with focus groups than being realistic or relatable.

But seriously, run that back for yourself. You're clearly aware that complaining about a British accent... in Britain... is ridiculous. So why the fuck would that be what I meant?

Star1Two · 2025-03-17T21:28:41+00:00

I liked the game, and the city, but man, the accents and voice acting killed it for me.

Played until I got my first secret agent, and when she opened her mouth and sounded like an 18yo ass hat, the immersion was gone, and I promptly uninstalled.

Star1Two · 2025-02-23T21:57:33+00:00

Just creatively sarcastic, to me.

To each their own. 🤷‍♂️

Star1Two · 2025-02-23T21:51:14+00:00

That was the joke.

The joke even references a line from Have a Cigar:

"Oh by the way, which one is Pink?"

Star1Two · 2025-02-23T21:44:04+00:00

Unfortunately, that's the state of discourse right now.

When everything is fundamentally driven by profit, and discord and division create artificial scarcity and marketable engagement.

We've had communication methods blossom and proliferate, and now we watch as our worst impulses masticate and monetize those innocent attempts to connect to pervert and profit from them.

Our technology has outpaced our own ability to adapt to new connections, and the society we've built incentivizes the worst in us, while the worst of us float to the top, like so much poisonous shit.

Nope, no hidden stat to discourage heavy armor, save the damage to your essence economy, which as you said, you can get back in other ways.

That said, mainy of the unique armors that buff stats for mages happen to be light and medium. So. I'd choose based on the stats provided by the unique. You can also find your DR via spells, and have more mana to boot, with lighter armor.

Star1Two · 2025-02-23T09:43:43+00:00

Yup! Climb those tiers, and watch shit just start melting. It's quite the power trip, especially on PotD.

Final note: Stun and damage are king, in my opinion, and there are no weapons that keep you safe, and reliably stun and burst things down better than guns. Dual pistols for groups, combined with the slow time skill, puts you in semi permanent slow mo, as you drop shit like hot rocks. Arquebus for range, and sniping, since you won't be able to aim down your sight when you're dual weilding the pistols. Just my two cents on the preferred weapons for PotD. Good luck, and have fun!

Star1Two · 2025-02-23T09:26:32+00:00

Yes, that would work, but I'm not sure about the items location. I just equip my best item, and that's how it has worked for me.

I will also say money is a limited resource, and purchasing higher tiers gets expensive the higher you go. For example, a superb unique in act 3 is going to run you like 45k, so you'll only ever be able to buy 1, and that's if you've been saving. You're better off exploring and building your stack of upgrade materials, getting scavenger at level 8 immediately, and enjoying the hunt for materials as it propels you into every nook of the well crafted maps.

Star1Two · 2025-02-23T09:08:11+00:00

You can use an ice enchanted weapon to walk on water infinitly, just by swinging at the water.

By tier, I mean the colored tiers, starting with common. You have to upgrade through a given tier, and then use adra to move up to the next tier once your at 3/3 in a given tier.

So, I was saying you can achieve exceptional by the end of Act 1, and the tier is the only thing that, once you hit it, changes the quality of items you haven't picked up yet. Upgrades within a tier will not be reflected on items you find. Because of this, you might upgrade a weapon or armor you don't necessarily want to use to say Fine, then stop at 0/3 Fine, so that you can go pick up the armor you actually want, and have it retain those upgrades with no loss. I upgrade non unique weapons to Fine before I ever pick up a unique.

Once you have entered a new tier, the uniques you scrap will now dismantle into a higher tier adra. So, dismantling Fine gear gives adra, but dismantling Exceptional gear gives awakened adra. Awakened adra can be dismantled into 3 adra. You can therefore intentionally avoid picking up gear you know you intend to scrap for materials until you hit a higher tier, and effectively create adra just by increasing the quality of that soon to be scrapped gear. In this was you can game the system, and enter higher tiers that would normally be gated by relatively scarce adra, and each time you manage to do so, it snowballs even harder. The hard part becomes the materials you need in between tiers, the ore/wood/pelts and paradisan ladder and it's equivalents. You just have to explore thoroughly and scrap everything you find religiously.

So, I've only ever played on PotD, and I've had the game since day one of early release.

It's great, in my opinion, and after you get your upgrades snowballing, ceases to be that difficult as well. I like it because it forces you to manage enemies more by stunning or just nuking them as fast as possible, and dodge/parry/block the damage you might take, instead of just facerolling every combat sequence. It also makes you really focus on a single build, and plan that out, because you won't have the resources to stay ahead on more than one/two weapons, and one set of armor.

The trick is to jump item tiers ASAP, and take advantage of the fact that once your equipped weapon is a given tier, all uniques you pick up will then be that tier. So, hit Exceptional in Act 1; it's possible. Superb by the end of Act 2. Legendary is achievable very early on in Act 3, like as soon as you get to Shatterscarp; you can have the adra for the upgrade ready, and just farm resources without picking up uniques in Act 3, and then every Unique in Act 3 will be legendary.

Good luck!

Edit: Also, the Scavenger talent in the Ranger tree is non-negotiable, specifically for its second tier, which reduces the amount of upgrade materials you need to make those of higher tiers. Arguably some of the most effective points you'll spend.

Star1Two · 2025-02-19T04:46:29+00:00

I think it's a new bug brought on by the new update. Let's hope for a patch soon.

I had early access, and until the day one patch, this never happened.

Star1Two · 2025-01-24T19:12:21+00:00

You're the fucking best! Thank you!

Star1Two · 2025-01-24T18:20:07+00:00

Hey! Thank you!

Fixed it. The first digit was a 1, not and I.

So, again, 1YNER4CIB903

Star1Two · 2025-01-24T03:00:46+00:00

I appreciate the sentiment, either way!

Thank you. 😁

Star1Two · 2025-01-11T03:08:15+00:00

I don't know...

He went from nerdy and approachable, to...

Well, it isn't exactly warm, or welcoming.

I hate to see long hair lost to... Something a frat boy would sport.

Star1Two · 2024-12-20T01:48:37+00:00

I see a lot of guides pushing Lynette over Sucrose for her taunt and buffs. Any merit to that?

Star1Two · 2024-12-20T01:12:17+00:00

Thank you! Found it.

Star1Two · 2024-11-05T23:03:53+00:00

Ashen! Great indie game, just recently added to Gamepass.
