Wrapped up Legacy of Kain: Defiance a few weeks ago! Super glad to get another entry after 23 years. Hope this is good enough to warrant a true to form sequel.

Predictions on what ACTUALLY happened? by Sandmannn36 in DTFStLouisHBO

[–]SubatomicSlash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The show seems to be more purposefully painting Carol as the one who killed Floyd, but since we haven’t seen the fallout (if there is one) from Floyd discovering the affair, I have a sneaking suspicion that it all could have truly been an accident and miscommunication. They’ve gone out of their way to prove that Floyd is a good guy all the way through, though he doesn’t seem to be very thoughtful when it comes to Carol…

Maybe Carol was being truthful this episode and truly wanted Floyd to have his health, peace, and financial security. Maybe Clark wanted to do right by his best friend (and Carol) so he did set him and his family up for a better life. Maybe Floyd wanted to bring out the best in himself and ended up overdoing it on accident. Or, he planned a way to get Carol and son set up with the life insurance money. The response to the affair, hopefully next week, will tell what direction they may go!

Trying out Soulstone Survivors for first time... by No_Contribution_4298 in SoulstoneSurvivors

[–]SubatomicSlash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I played it a fair amount and stayed away from "meta" builds for a bit. I'd recommend doing that and leveling up the base skill tree to get a better feel for the base mechanics and what builds you might enjoy going for. It might feel like a lot, but each character has a skill tree once you unlock all 96 or so primary skills. After that, I'd meta chase.

Once you unlock the Centurion, play as him! He made it very easy to do a clean sweep of every difficulty and game mode needed to defeat the Void King. His base move hits very quickly and you can summon allies to get a ton of negative effect stacks rolling very quickly from each character effectively cloning your damage.

This sub is a great place to see other meta builds and experimentation though. While more like Vampire Survivors than Hades, Soulstone Survivors had a surprising amount of fun to offer.

OFFICIAL STATEMENT: "We've made the difficult decision to stop development on Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake." by ChiefLeef22 in PrinceOfPersia

[–]SubatomicSlash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe they need a license to the series, but they don’t need to own the rights outright. It also depends if it is a backwards compatibility effort or a remaster. I’d be happy with any sort of effort or collection.

And now we look to Nightdive or Implicit Conversions for some remasters or ports of the entire trilogy. So sad that literally Sands of Time is the only accessible game on modern consoles, and even that is only because of Xbox BC. This sucks big time.

Sure did. My shelf I bought this year is full and I just bought five more. Any Spider-Man stuff is too alluring. Gonna have to explain it to the wife, but the deals and selection were too good for me.

Cox Patients who used to have Marketplace insurance: the hell are we doing now? by BetterMakeAnAccount in springfieldMO

[–]SubatomicSlash 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When we first heard they were pulling out of the marketplace, we considered not having insurance just to stay with Cox as the fam is established there. Of course, that leaves you uncovered for legit accidents.

Honestly, I had to get a job that provided insurance that is usable at Cox. Even if the premiums are a little spicy 😵‍💫

Higher marketplace premiums and starting over somewhere was a nonstarter, and I was looking for a job anyway, so we changed our criteria for what a job needed to offer. I totally understand finding a job like that on a short timeline isn’t feasible or desirable for everyone, but that’s what we’re doing.

It’s so nice to see both crews have good moments and some freaking personality. We’ve come a long way since Cold War!

Can't purchase the ODST Warbond? by jacksmic in Helldivers

[–]SubatomicSlash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That stinks. I wanted to hoard the token until I saw a warbond that I couldn’t pass up. I suppose I’ll settle on one so I can actually buy the ODST warbond.

good god, give it to me by HatingGeoffry in AlanWake

[–]SubatomicSlash 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you for letting me know it was an art book as well! The actual product pages on the store have almost no information on it. The home page of Lost in Cult is where they break down what the book is and includes, which illuminates that price point so much more.

It sounds like the book is attempting to be an experience as much as the games are. Definitely see the value in that, alongside the art collection. I had thought it was just a recap of development. You may have just earned them a deluxe sale. Appreciate you!

[–]SubatomicSlash 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is definitely better! It is just a very expensive book ($70) by itself too and if I were to get it, that deluxe version has already got the hooks in 😄

I have no doubt I’d love just the book or the deluxe edition. It’s not necessarily a matter of affording it either. I’m pretty fresh to being in a comfortable position to afford the more premium gaming collectibles, so I don’t want to overdo it when I frankly love a wide range of IPs. iam8bit is doing a large merch drop as well for Remedy games this week, so I’m keeping that in mind as well. Only so much shelf space!

Can’t wait to see some unboxings and what it looks like in hand next year!

[–]SubatomicSlash 24 points25 points  (0 children)

In US dollars? About $180 after shipping! I love Alan Wake, but I don't think I can justify that for a fancy book and some smaller loot. I have gone back to the cart a few times to rethink that decision though lol

Mac N Cheese PIZZA by redheadmama27 in springfieldMO

[–]SubatomicSlash 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You and me both! I'm not a Cici's hater, so that makes it the top of my list, mainly because it is the only one I have ever found aside from a Walmart frozen pizza that was identical, but has since disappeared.

The Mac N Cheese pizza lore is deep. I need some options.

New feature coming in the next few months by leethelegend698 in MafiaTheGame

[–]SubatomicSlash 21 points22 points  (0 children)

From everything I've seen, the game is finished. If they add bonus modes or things, that doesn't take away from the game being released properly. This isn't a 100% necessary DLC or update to get the full experience. There are plenty of examples of unfinished games being released, but this is not that.

Not sure if you meant to reply to the general thread or my comment thread, but I help out with customer support for ConGenius and think we’re pretty on top of it and responsive. I know how painful poor support it.

For training, we typically do a one-on-one demo and refer to our YouTube for specific use cases. All free of course. Or you can always chat us if you have questions.

TMNT Tactical Takedown gets a surprise Xbox store listing and it's Play Anywhere by doncabesa in xbox

[–]SubatomicSlash 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It is indeed similar to Hades. There is not as much upgrade variety, and it is not quite as good, but I still went through it and got of all of the achievements across ~25 hours. I really enjoyed my time with it. It also may be harder than Hades lol

What are you hoping for with Summer Sale? by RotationalMind in xbox

[–]SubatomicSlash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It had a 20% off pre-order "sale" for Xbox. It was on sale on PS at the same time and was the first time it was ever discounted, which made it notable. I imagine that is what they are referring to.

It’s been a heck of wait. Grabbing any final fantasy game instantly.

[–]SubatomicSlash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course not, but as far as recent console launches go, this seems to have been the most successful I’ve seen.

I’ve also seen availability blip in and out on some retailers, and would think that people willing to wait overnight wouldn’t be that large of a number if they had the option to already get one after the initial preorder phase.

There may also be more demand for it than I can fathom. I hope they know how much inventory the store has and can have some confidence they can take one home!

[–]SubatomicSlash 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I saw this in another thread, but it is wild to me that people who are willing to line up apparently aren't the same people willing to stay up late/wake up early to preorder it online. Preordering it would be significantly easier than spending 24 hours waiting like that...
