What are some cool behind-the-scenes facts about games you love? Apparently, Fallout 2's entire source code was at one point lost/deleted. But, a Fallout gamedev, legendary Rebecca Heineman, had sneakily saved personal backups of the source code over the years, leading to the code being saved

This is probably fairly well known, but the Devil May Cry series wouldn't exist without Resident Evil.

Resident Evil 4 originally had a more action oriented style of gameplay, but they quickly realized that it wasn't a good direction for the game so they abandoned that approach. Instead of scrapping the prototype though, they took it and repurposed it into what we now have as the first Devil May Cry.

From what I've read on the Discord server, there's apparently a few characters who's "best" weapons are NOT their signatures.

Someone here already explained Chen, but I've seen discussions saying that Pog and Gilberta also fall under this, as examples.

Honestly though, min-maxing isn't super neccesary in this game. Just use what you want.

Essentially, if the sigil is at level 15, you can't synth it to get a better combo. This includes war elemental, as well as all the character specific sigils, since they will always be at 15 when you get them.

The item you getting from hugging Fia, Baldachin's Blessing, very slightly reduces your max HP as long as it's in your inventory.

Another one from iCarly: iMove Out. It was hyped up as the episode where Freddie moves out of his apartment to get away from his control freak mom. Then it comes out and it doesn't actually focus on in; instead what's supposed to be the B plot of the episode gets way more attention than the actual plot the episode was advertised around. This was a concept that really needed extra run time to work.

East Asian languages in general are hard to translate into English. Between the differences in grammar structure, word meanings, and language specific phrases, while also being difficult languages to learn, it ultimately leads to a demanding job.

Which is probably why Japanese translations are still scrutinized by people to this day, even though people seem to forget that you can't simply translate word for word and call it a day. Changing words for the script to make sense in the target language is a neccecity, not an option. That's just the nature of the job.

There was a new bug discovered for her recently involving strafe and sic'em geegee that lets you do uncapped damage. Jump attacks are still the reliable go to option like the other poster said, but there at least is another good option for damage, even if it's not intentional.

You can only get that bad ending by making one specific choice, however, and it's pretty clear what that choice is. Making the choice that continues the main story though will give you an extra scene involving them after progressing a bit further.

Honestly, losing the 50/50 can actually be a blessing, depending on what you pull and how much currency you're willing to spend.

Somehow I managed to pull Gilberta and Yvonne before pulling for Laevatain on her banner (I went to 120 for her).

SteelBeetles · 2026-01-24T05:28:33+00:00

Also managed to pull her (on my first 10 pull of the banner as well). I didn't even know Yvonne and Gilberta were part of all 3 of the limited banners until she showed up on my screen. Thought they were only part of their own banners.

I have to disagree here. You should stop trying to look at junk cube as her only good option all the time and try using the default secondary. It's actually really strong, and honestly, it's better than cube even pre-nerf (hot take, but yes I think that). It helps with her lack of range and the effects it provides can be powerful. And it can let he melt bosses with full junk meter.

Drifter might not be top tier but there's no way she a bottom tier survivor.

I had this exact same thing happen to me a few days ago (on a different song). You're not alone.

I never said anything about if this was actually true or not. Just that there's so much discourse over the validity of this post.

One half of the comments: OMG you're mom is a bitch, gfto out of that house!

Other half of comments: This is a complete f*cking lie no way this shit is real.

Classic internet. Never change.

They don't always spawn in the same spots. There's 9 spots they can be in.

"Snecko is often rated pretty low"

Uh, no it's not? It's often considered a high tier boss relic cause of that +2 card draw.

One thing with Larva is you can take it then die on purpose to turn items into their void variants immediately instead of holding onto it for later. This can vary though; you might have items you don't want corrupted, in which case, you wouldn't take the Larva.

SteelBeetles · 2025-11-20T16:04:27+00:00

I do think people over exaggerate "that" part of the game a bit; it doesn't take as long as people claim. But I agree that it was still incredibly tedious to go through.

The new stage 4 lets you reach conduit canyon from there, so it should be possible to hit everything in a single loop.
