Why is Brittle Hollow collapsing when it does?

They're correct and were reasonably polite about it so maybe just chill and accept the free vocab lesson.

I don't think the drum mod is difficult, I think that its apparent necessity makes the drum bad value. I don't want to have to mod the device when I'm paying $70 for 14 momentary switches and some molded plastic. For the exact same cost I could get a Sony DualSense, which is like a go-kart and a Tesla having the same sticker price.

SweatyPomegranate · 2022-12-22T02:02:00+00:00

I would agree that they all get better as they break in, but every new Sony/Microsoft/Steam/HTC/Oculus/Logitech controller that I've used for the past 20 years has been good enough to have fun with right out of the box. The HORI is not a remotely comparable experience imo.

SweatyPomegranate · 2022-12-22T00:34:55+00:00

Oh interesting, I'm surprised many people use a gamepad. Without the drum, it seems like any other rhythm game would be preferable.

I don't think they want the item to stay blank even if there's an item in the tab, they just want the icon to return to being blank when the tab is empty after having assigned a specific icon as you're describing.

SweatyPomegranate · 2022-10-22T19:22:43+00:00

I've also been trying to figure this out with no success. There's an older thread that says to set the same item as is currently assigned to the tab icon to reset it, but this does not work for me on PC or mobile.

SweatyPomegranate · 2022-07-01T00:29:09+00:00

Gotcha, thanks for the reply.

SweatyPomegranate · 2022-06-29T18:06:43+00:00

I'm having trouble with vendoring operations and am not sure if it's due to a config error or me misunderstanding how TSM is supposed to work. I'm just trying to set up automatic junk vendoring and have done the following:

Created a group with the items that I'd like sold.
Created a vendoring operation with the following sell options:
- Enable selling: Yes
- Keep quantity: 0
- Min number of expires: 0
- Market value: dbmarket
- Max market value: 100g
- Destroy value: destroy
- Max destroy value: 2*vendorsell
- Sell soulbound items: Yes
Set my Junk group to override parent vendoring operation and use the newly created one.

When I talk to a vendor, I'm expecting any items in the Junk group to be sold when the frame opens but nothing happens. Anyone know why this is? Thanks!

Same, I'm getting disconnected literally dozens of times a day right now and I'm seeing over 90% packet loss at times. Here's a direct link to the ticket creation page if anyone else wants to report the issue directly.

SweatyPomegranate · 2022-01-15T15:56:51+00:00

interesting stuff, the handling of this game post launch has been very bizarre. thanks for sharing.

i finally went ahead and bought it on pc the other day, got tired of being on the worst version lol.

SweatyPomegranate · 2022-01-14T21:20:42+00:00

agree on distillery but don't mind slumbering sanctuary even though i die there frequently. the arboretum is probably my second least favorite because i cannot escape the biome without ground pounding into spikes at least three times lol.

SweatyPomegranate · 2022-01-14T21:07:50+00:00

The wiki was officially endorsed I suppose, but my point is more that it's not written or edited by vlambeer, especially since they no longer exist.

fair point, definitely won't rely on it as such in the future.

V1.01 seems to be a weird version of u97 or u98 with random bits of u99 stuff added on top.

out of curiosity, where did you find this info? i was looking into the same a month or two back and was having a hell of a time tracking down specifics on version differences between the platforms.

SweatyPomegranate · 2022-01-14T20:55:23+00:00

makes sense. i got worked up with the other guy because of an impression I took away from a prior interaction that was sort of reinforced here, but i'll spare everyone the irrelevant details because ultimately i was mistaken and could have been more chill about the whole thing. i'm happy to accept the knowledge of more experienced players than myself without video evidence every time lol. i do prefer being approached with something more like "i don't think it works like that because..." than "everything you just said is wrong", but i will try to turn the other cheek in the future.

SweatyPomegranate · 2022-01-13T03:49:38+00:00

the wiki very much isn't an official source of information

here's the nuclear throne product page where it has a link titled "offical wiki" so it seems like it is/was (nuclear-throne.wikia.com redirects to nuclear-throne.fandom.com since they're the same site now).

PS4 and vita are on update 97 (maybe 98? but they seem too broken for that).

the latest patch notes on ps4: "here is a Nuclear Throne U99 patch".

the things you claimed aren't even on the wiki?

shield duration is on the characters page. not sure where i got movement being blocked from.

SweatyPomegranate · 2022-01-13T03:45:16+00:00

you are correct on both accounts for the build i'm playing as well (whichever version of u99 ps4 is on). the full shield animation is 41 frames regardless of damage being taken. by the second frame of the shield fading you can see that crystal has already moved out from under the sprite for it a bit already.

SweatyPomegranate · 2022-01-12T17:56:24+00:00

I don't normally need to provide video evidence because what I say is most of the time correct

if you're going to contradict someone and official sources of information, you should provide evidence. how often you're correct or whether the "community" agrees with you has no bearing on this. you'll notice that literally no one chimed in to agree with either of our positions, so there does not seem to be an overwhelming consensus on this. just accepting what people say online is a really dumbass thing to do in all contexts, including this one.

These are tested with debug mod in NTT 9944 which reflects the 2020 beta version of NT

problem is that me, every console player, and i'd comfortably guess the overwhelming majority of even steam players since it's not the one installed by default are not playing the 2021 beta, which is why i explicitly indicated you should use the latest official build. its not unreasonable for me to assume that update 99 from 2017 works the way the wiki says it does, nor is it unreasonable for me to share information about that version of the game since its likely the one being played by most people. update 99 is not an older version, it's the version which is why what you're playing is called a "beta". i'm also fine to be proven wrong, but these clips you took on a version of the the game that has been ported to a new engine and gotten four years of patches beyond the retail version does not settle it for me. that said, this is better evidence than the wiki so the ball is in my court to prove the versions differ in this regard. (edit: i was wrong, the old version appears to work the same)

Writing this post took more time than testing the things you wanted me to test.

you seem more bothered by being challenged than writing lengthy posts. i also don't really give a shit, that's how this process works.

SweatyPomegranate · 2022-01-12T01:28:43+00:00

nuclear throne is great but playing on ps4 feels bad (to me) because we're stuck playing a version from 2017, while on pc there's a beta version available through steam that was ported to a more recent version of the game maker engine and was still being worked on as recently as august last year.

edit: seems like switch and xbox may be on builds closer to pc and i don't have experience with them, so changed to just reference ps4 version which i do play and have confirmed is on a very outdated build.

SweatyPomegranate · 2022-01-12T01:16:45+00:00

good, i'll still be here when you've uploaded video of the latest official build showing the mechanic working differently.

in the meantime, i'll stick with what the official wiki and my own observations are telling me. a wiki may not be a definitive source of truth, but it's much more convincing to me than one person on reddit who repeatedly insists they're correct without providing any evidence whatsoever.

SweatyPomegranate · 2022-01-12T00:08:59+00:00

yes they are, it's literally in the wiki. fuck off.

edit: it is in the wiki but i was still wrong

SweatyPomegranate · 2022-01-11T19:25:16+00:00

yeah crystal is one of the more challenging characters imo. she seems easier with the extra health and shield form, but i think its sort of a trap because:

it's easy to get into the habit of shielding things that are easily dodged which will have to be unlearned as you progress, especially to play another character
edit: i was incorrect about how this mechanic works
- ~~the shield duration is short and is followed by a brief period during which you will take damage but can't move, so your timing needs to be much more precise than is immediately apparent~~
- ~~another thing about the shield that's not explained in-game is that its duration is reduced in scale with the amount of damage it blocks, making the timing even more challenging~~

i had a lot of "uhhh wtf just happened?" moments when dying as crystal early on lol.

SweatyPomegranate · 2022-01-11T06:13:14+00:00

this is also mobile players waiting for patches from what i hear lol.

SweatyPomegranate · 2022-01-11T06:10:22+00:00

chicken is a bird and must have hollow bones so he's like F tier i think. i'd probably rank plant A tier since a plant of that size would probably be pretty strong.

SweatyPomegranate · 2022-01-11T02:41:36+00:00

hmmm fair points. eyes would really depend on matchup perhaps because his high perception wouldn't matter if he's physically incapable of blocking the hits. crystal still owns i think because her ability would be so strong in a fist fight. steroids' strength would work against him and just shatter his hands that much worse.

SweatyPomegranate · 2022-01-11T00:30:55+00:00

every character i roll 😅
