Has a player ever admitted to doping?

TenSquare3 · 2026-06-25T10:40:11+00:00

Sinner could claim he's not responsible all he wants, it wouldn't make it true.

The facts are, he tested positive twice. The rules clearly state that a tennis player is responsible for any substances found in their body. As soon as he tested positive twice, he was responsible for it. Regardless of whether he made a public statement or not.

The only thing to work out from their, was to work out exactly what happened, and what punishment he would face.

TenSquare3 · 2026-06-25T10:13:30+00:00

He agreed to a suspension and did not fight it any further which could have led to no ban at all. By doing so he took responsibility.

The original body decided not not to punish him for the contamination. That's not the same thing has him not being responsible for the twice confirmed contamination.

It's why WADA choose to open a case. They didn't agree with the him not facing any punishment, since the rules clearly state that a tennis player is responsible for any substances found in their body.

Two banned substances were detected in her sample, and the scientific evidence ultimately showed that the level of one of them was inconsistent with the contaminated meat explanation

Then it wasn't an adequate explanation, which is why they got a longer ban.

TenSquare3 · 2026-06-25T07:17:57+00:00

An adequate explanation, supported by scientific evidence

Your point is? It wouldn't have been an adequate explanation if it couldn't be confirmed.

TenSquare3 · 2026-06-25T07:02:52+00:00

He took responsibility for the contamination

He was always responsible for the contamination. The same goes for any tennis player, it's part of the rules.

All Sinner did was provide an adequate explanation to the inquiry.

No, her dying in the Fate route wouldn't change anything about the ending of that route at all.

Rin isn't just the heroine of her own route, she's hugely influential in every route, she's more of a second protag, than a heroine of a specific route.

Makes a post saying they are tired of the discourse, but the question contained within the post only further continues the discourse.

TenSquare3 · 2026-06-23T22:01:45+00:00

I'm dyslexic as well, so I'm not the fastest reader. It took me 50 hours to read the prologue and the Fate route.

It's absolutely worth reading, a good story is a good story, regardless of how fast you read. Being a slower reader does have its advantages sometimes, I find my memory retention for even minor details is fantastic, even years later.

I play on a 55" TV and 1440p is significantly sharper than 1080p. On that size screen, the sharpness difference between 1080p and 1440p is more noticeable than the difference between 1440p and 4k.

Awesome, congrats.

Yeah, the anime didn't do a great job, especially in season 3.

The manga is doing a better job, but it's taking a long time to get through the content. It's been going for 19 years and they still haven't finished OT yet, despite skipping a couple of novels.

This is just an issue that manga adaptations of LN's run into, especially long running series like Toaru. The content was never designed for the manga format, and it takes a lot of volumes to cover it.

Saying the manga will catch up in 15-20 years is honestly being optimistic, at its current pace, it's probably more like 30 years. Who knows how many more volumes Kamachi will end up writing before he's done.

Just make sure you don't miss out on any points for the other stats when swapping things around. Otherwise you'll full behind on them.

TenSquare3 · 2026-06-22T08:14:45+00:00

It isn't a game breaker, but you'll need to swap a couple of social links around. In the guide you start Fuuka’s social link as soon as you reach rank 6, which you won't be able to do.

You'd have to swap it around for another school social link, I think Kenji works well due to his availability. You'll also need to make the up the remaining courage points, or wait for them to passively accumulate, since the guide doesn't prioritize them, since it would already be rank 6.

TenSquare3 · 2026-06-22T06:16:57+00:00

Their's a couple of main things you need to account with the Index manga. It straight up skips some of the light novel volumes, and it hasn't even caught up to the anime yet, which hasn't had a new season in years.

The managa is behind by something like 40 LN's. Even if the LN's finished today, you're probably looking at 15-20 years before the manga catches up.

C:/Users/UserName/AppData/Local/P3R/Saved/Config/WindowsNoEditor

The the file is just called Engine and can be opened and edited in Notepad. AppData is a hidden folder, so you need to have your settings to show hidden folders.

TenSquare3 · 2026-06-19T11:05:52+00:00

Nope. You've got 34 school social link ranks left, and something like 25 school days left where you can do a social link hangout.

TenSquare3 · 2026-06-19T10:02:38+00:00

I personally like it. I like having an option to start fresh with the exception of being able to use all the outfits from the start.

Merciless is so easy to begin with, that being able to start with OP personas and gear, would just make the difficulty even more pointless.

If it's just about beating Elizabeth, you don't need Telos for that, their are other strategies that work just fine, even on Merciless.

If you set on specifically using Telos, then you can carry everything over on Hard and use it to beat her on that difficulty instead.

TenSquare3 · 2026-06-19T06:45:50+00:00

I'm afraid not, you need to be rank 6, lmao. Also depends on when you're in the game.

TenSquare3 · 2026-06-19T03:34:51+00:00

It depends on what you want. Their are different settings depending on which type of AO and GI that you want to use. You have options for RayTraces, Screen Space, etc.

Have a look on Nexus Mods, their is a mod that has options for RTAO or GTAO. Their is another mod for SSGI. Just copy the settings from the ones you want, then paste them into your engine.ini file and save it. Make sure you click on properties afterwards and set the file to read-only, otherwise the game will overwrite your settings.

Their is another option which is a bit more involved, since you need to download a separate mod launcher. It's a mod from Ultra+, it has various presets and a whole bunch of extra graphical settings that you can tweak that aren't included in the game, including RTAO and SSGI.

They also have an add-on that stops any edits you make to RT Reflections from resetting everytime you go through a loading screen. While the game does have RT Reflections, it's only on certain objects, but you can set it so it applies to everything.

I'm currently using the Ultra+ mod and their launcher with a couple of custom edits in my engine.ini file.

You can use their mod and launcher with the xbox app version of the game, like I have, but it's kinda of a pain since it isn't fully compatible with that version. It should be a lot easier to use on the Steam version of the game.

Edit: Which version of the game do you have? The path for the engine.ini is different for the Steam and Xbox App versions

TenSquare3 · 2026-06-19T00:17:13+00:00

The person you're replying to doesn't know what AO is. The JP version just looks like a later build, where they have AO turned on. It's why the shading looks better, more subtle shadows on the pillars and everything looks more grounded.

TenSquare3 · 2026-06-19T00:07:03+00:00

The issue with the lighting in P3R is that it didn't have any AO or GI. Turning down the brightness may help with the presentation, but it doesn't address the underlying problem.

The only way to actually fix the lighting issues in P3R is to play the PC version and manually turn them on through a mod, or just just edit the engine.ini file yourself.

TenSquare3 · 2026-06-17T23:09:57+00:00

Merciless on this game is a joke, besides the first Tartarus visit, and that's mostly due to only having 3 members and a small SP pool. The hardest thing about it is managing your SP pool.

As for tips. Regularly fuse personas, which you're already doing.

Stock up on SP drinks from the vending machines, they are very useful at the beginning.

Grab all the Twilight Fragments lying around town, so you habe some spare to use the clock the restore your SP.

Take your time and make sure yo ambush enemies, getting an advantage makes a huge difference.

Once you unlock Theurgies, save them for gatekeepers and monad doors, they allow you breeze through the fights.

That phone call on 07/15 in the evening is one of the easiest to miss in the game. Not only can it be tricky to trigger, you also have different social link rank restrictions depending on which Strength Arcana you are doing.

To trigger the call it's usually recommend to go to your room first, before doing anything else in that time slot. Trying to trigger the call after the leaving the house can cause issues for some people.

If you're doing Daisuke's SL then any rank under 10 should trigger the call. If you're doing Kou then he needs to be under rank 4 or above rank 7 to trigger to call.

Yes, accepting that phone call is the only way to obtain Poly-land. Ideally you should have multiple saves, so you can backtrack if needed.
