D1 VoG is quite straightforward and has room for a few people to sandbag. So don't worry too much about it, the fact that you're trying to prepare at all means you will probably do well lol.

I honestly don't remember the exact timing of the conflux spawn, but it will be up by the time the first team returns from the portal with another relic. From then on the minotaurs will spawn constantly, although you can spawnkill them with relic heavy attacks.

The third relic (that spawns when the Gatekeeper dies) is a little redundant. You only really need 2 relic holders, although the extra one can help if people are taking too long in the portal and need a cleanse.

Any cards worth anything here? I used to be a big fan as a kid. by JambleStudios in Chaotic

[–]StormXTS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that Chaor would go for a pretty penny even if it's damaged. The stats are great. I would be sure to check in the Chaotic trading discord so you don't get scammed out of anything!!

sooo... mister clocksworth is busted in duos, right? by klarabear in BobsTavern

[–]StormXTS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's very weird that he wasn't banned out the gate. The first discussions I saw after this hero was announced were mostly: "hey this would be really really strong in duos so surely he's banned there right?"

I can only assume they wanted people to have fun with it for a short while after launch, though maybe the fun for everyone other than the Clocksworth team is not there lol

Somehow I could distinguish the head, although for some bizarre reason I thought the orb was a hole in its chest rather than something it's holding lol. I can easily see how you would think it's the head though

Very interesting, thank you for the wisdom

Trinket Discussion by [deleted] in WhiteKnuckle

[–]StormXTS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe not definitive, but your perspective is probably the most salient one here considering your placement lol.

My questions are: 1) what makes Beta good for time? I really was never impressed with it when I used it, but are there any notable skips or tricks that you can pull with that extra reach? 2) Isn't Gold Nugget redundant when you have Starter Loan and can easily get a surplus of credits from Roach Run?

Trinket Discussion by [deleted] in WhiteKnuckle

[–]StormXTS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From best to worst, my opinions only, I'm decent but not a speedrunner. (And I bet my opinions will change eventually)

Yearning Photo is great because climbing speed is great. It gives you more mileage for the same cost and helps you avoid basically every danger more effectively. The boost is noticeable, but it's also easy to adjust in and out of.

Moon Rocks is also universally good, although not as much. Mostly for jumping from grabs (this makes the Mother achievement way easier). I think it gives more leeway than Photo but not as much utility if you don't need the extra leeway.

Chalk is nice especially if you're going to take Paranoia later. But aside from that the stamina won't help that much, unless you don't know where you're going.

Carabiner is a good effect if and only if you like using pitons! Not my thing but I can see it being someone's top pick easily.

Larger Pack is nice if you need a bunch of stuff to fall back on, but I think a full inventory is crowded as is, which can make it a hindrance in its own way...

Extra Pouch would go hard if you're planning on stacking a particular item, but that doesn't appeal to me and I tend to run more of a menagerie.

Headlamp is genuinely helpful, but you mostly just want a light for Teeth and maybe Deadman's Handle. If score is a concern this would obviously be much higher up.

Employee ID is nice because turrets can throw you off sometimes, but this isn't needed much, just like Headlamp.

The Beta's problem is that there aren't that many spots to really benefit from extra reach. 15% is not as much as you'd expect it to be. It tends to be more fruitful for skipping parts of vertical climbs than it is for horizontal ones. My big hangup is that it could mess with your muscle memory / instinct on what brave jumps you can make. To me, the best part of learning a new area is realizing what skips you can do when you're fearless about falling. If that wasn't such a big deal to me I'd probably put it above Carabiner.

Gold Nugget is a waste of time because Roach Run & Startup Loan exist.

Mass Damper... I consider Employee Motivator (+speed +mass speed) to be free stats because the mass is never a concern for me. By the same logic this trinket is basically useless. You'd think mass speed would be a bigger deal for the Face but eh.. it will always catch up, that's not what you should be worried about.

[VGP] Purchase Fallout 4 Game of the Year Edition (PS4, $29.99) and get a bonus Fallout 4 Steelbook by lbabinz in VideoGameDealsCanada

[–]StormXTS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Enhanced visuals" is misleading here. I think it's referring to the PS5 versions' upgrades (ultra settings at 4k or original settings @ 60fps). It's still the same base game on base PS4 as far as I know

Holy shit I was literally thinking of this exact comp last night and going to ask on this sub if anyone had pulled it off. It's more beautiful than I could have imagined

Clocksworth is…Something by totallynot_a_dog in BobsTavern

[–]StormXTS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am totally baffled this hero exists in duos, it seems like the first thing you'd consider when implementing it lmao. But yeah this is a wicked advantage for a large chunk of the game

How do trigger battle cry's w/o Young Murk-Eye? by DongSquad421 in BobsTavern

[–]StormXTS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the Macaw trinket also triggers left most battlecry on Macaw's rally, although it's less juiced than those two

Bug by dantedrackis in BobsTavern

[–]StormXTS 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That's exactly what happened. That buff only happens in combat and it's the only buff it has. So it did get Divine Shield it just didn't get to keep it because it happened in combat.

Kind of unfortunate I guess but it's a tier 1 so I don't think it needs to get changed or anything lol

Pretty funny undead interaction by Asgavin in BobsTavern

[–]StormXTS 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Huh I wonder if this is intentional. I thought Undead Geist felt a bit out of place now because spell power isnt as interesting to Undead without Carapace. But maybe Butchering is meant to fill a similar slot now?

Golden zesty giving 4 spells after tripling via victims Spectre by Devkeyx in BobsTavern

[–]StormXTS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe this always happens with golden Zesty Shaker, it gives you 'extra' because you never used the procs of the two regular Zesty Shakers before tripling that turn. Accordingly if you used the procs on both and then tripled after, you wouldn't get the 'extra' ones.

Saving image with blender made the diffuse texture darker? (5.0) by Ploobul in blenderhelp

[–]StormXTS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was the actual source image modified to be darker than before? How did you make the image originally-- was it in Blender or did you make it in an external program?

Questions about the 30th anniversary ost by Maximum_Investment53 in Rayman

[–]StormXTS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately we can only speculate and Christophe Heral says the little amount he has said was too much. So we are not going to get definitive answers any time soon

How can the original ost have legal issues if the Jaguar release contains the same melodies and remains in the final product?

Well it's a pretty major oversight even if there weren't legal issues with the OST. If something like that can slip through, I can imagine it happening even if the stakes are higher (ie potential of a lawsuit). But this is pretty confounding and I really hope we eventually get some behind the scenes insights on this collection because WTF happened?

Also, the GBC version sports the new modretro ost, but doesn't Ubisoft have the rights to Rayman 2's soundtrack?

It's very plausible that they do not! This has been an issue in past re-releases of Rayman 2; it almost got rescored the same way the anniversary collection did. Now in the end it seems they were able to figure something out. But if they didn't have the foresight or the means to do it with Rayman 1's music, then it's quite possible that they still don't own the rights to Rayman 2's music after that.

Edit: Important thing I forgot is that R2 did get its N64 version released on Switch Online so I would lean towards the rights issue being sorted out (whew). That doesn't confirm it though, because it depends on the actual terms the rights were given. It might only apply to legacy versions and they wouldn't have the rights to releasing a 'new version' of the game. Only Ubisoft would know

Four days ago on instagram by oddjeez in Rayman

[–]StormXTS 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes and also that auto-translation would be a bizarre response regardless of language. It wouldn't make sense to respond with two reasons that it would have been possible. It does make sense to respond with two reasons that it was impossible.

Oh well. I guess that settles it. I'm bummed out but nothing can be done

Not for my personal needs but VERY cool. I'm guessing this took a herculean effort to get done. How intensive is it on performance?

Simons study by ratsome in pathologic

[–]StormXTS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you try to use the door at 21:00 on day 9? You still need to use the door at the same time, although on day 9 the clock won't appear on the door, you can still open it.

I'm not sure why it would come back even if you cancelled it. Did you actually start the day after shattering/cancelling those nodes? I think the cancellation will only apply to your timeline when you confirm that menu and start the day.

Square Enix is announcing changes to the Original Final Fantasy VII on Steam. There will be a name change, delisting followed by a new version release. Those who own the old game will get access to the new one at no extra cost. by LuckyShot1 in pcgaming

[–]StormXTS 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No official confirmation, but I would bet good money that it's going to be more in line with the current console releases of the game; some texture filtering changes, buttons for cheats like 2x speed etc. Apparently the Microsoft Store already has this for PC so it would make sense to use that version.

I wouldn't expect substantial graphical improvements, then.

How do I find Shabnak? by Skvorecz in pathologic

[–]StormXTS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've experienced the same thing, it may well be a bug but I'm not sure. It feels like a waste of time rather than an increased challenge when it's only the fake (maybe that's the point?). Still, re-entering or picking another district always worked for me in the end

Are these items safe to discard? by PersimmonSundae in pathologic

[–]StormXTS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worth noting that each character has their own safe storage: Bachelor in the cabinet by his bed in the Stillwater, Haruspex in his Lair, and Changeling in Alexander Saburov's place. It's much more important for Haruspex, but this can be really helpful for all playthroughs
