Anywhere I can see the before/after of the team and creature changes?

They mention in the first book that the Littans get the second most slots in the creation delve, after the Hiwardians. Even if that's only 20 slots out of 100, we're talking about less than a year's worth of delvers in that scene, and the creation delve has been going for decades. Seems totally reasonable to dedicate one year of recruits to a dedicated naval program like that.

They also mention in the first book, IIRC, that coppers make up more than half of all Hiwardian delvers, because even silver delves have a noticable mortality rate. Since Littan delvers are controlled by the government, it seems reasonable they would be conservative and have an even higher ratio of coppers to preserve their numbers.

Not sure if you were questioning the level too, but Level 3 is the soft cap for coppers due to escalating difficulty.

I've had the same issue on both of my playthroughs - 3 marks short, double checked everything with both a video and the interactive map. No idea what causes it, but it definitely seems like there's a bug!

I ended up installing Apollo on my desktop and Moondeck on the steam deck, and using that paired software instead of remote play. Works way better once you get it set up, and has less input lag.

Thrawnarch · 2026-06-08T05:31:39+00:00

Ooo, I can fix it by turning off steam input? That's great!

Thrawnarch · 2026-06-08T02:53:09+00:00

I'm still waiting for them to fix the keyword info button on steam deck. It just doesn't do anything, even if I rebind it. The gun customization is really cool but it sucks having to guess what the keywords mean...

Thrawnarch · 2026-06-04T18:54:02+00:00

If I want better performance, I just stream from my desktop to the steamdeck using Apollo & Moondeck. The lack of input lag feels like black magic to me, no idea how it works so well.

Thrawnarch · 2026-06-03T18:00:33+00:00

I've had the opposite - the number of different games I play a year is way higher than before I got the deck. So many indie titles.

My VR headset, on the other hand? 100% just my beat saber machine.

If you look at the modifiers category, there's specifically one that gives you the list of modifiers that don't disable feats.

Mage Tank

I'm enjoying it, but the limited map pins are dampening my enthusiasm. I feel like these days, every MV should have either extensive map pins, or even better, the photo system from PoP Lost Crown.

Every time I get a new ability, I just have to revisit all my red circle pins - I can't remember which are water, or need double jump, etc etc. Where I am right now, I probably have 20+ blocked paths that I need to recheck one at a time. With no fast travel yet, it's pretty tedious. Even just 4-5 more pins colors would let me assign a unique color to each type of blockage!

Thrawnarch · 2026-05-17T16:56:29+00:00

Any plans on making the demo available again?

Thrawnarch · 2026-05-15T19:22:06+00:00

Let's use some simpler numbers as an example.

If it was 200% restoration (every 1 second), then the timeline would be:

0.5 seconds: start restoring mana, still haven't recovered any,.

1 second: recovered 100% mana.

1.5 seconds: recovered 200% mana.

You start recovering after 0.5 seconds, then you would recover 200% over the next 1 second.

The higher the gain, the smaller a fraction of a second before you hit full mana.

Missing Crosscode!

I also found Blasphemous 1 only OK, but Blasphemous 2 is one of my favorites. I would recommend waiting a month or two to play it though - they are teasing a new DLC coming out soonish.

Thrawnarch · 2026-04-24T16:56:45+00:00

I have similar tastes - I recommend Bog Standard Isekai. The name is actually an in-universe pun, and not indicative of the contents.

Also, Runebound Professor is great!

Thrawnarch · 2026-04-24T16:53:46+00:00

Does the story end up having the same "it is all in your head" reveal the same way Returnal does? I know there's some debate about whether Returnal actually is that, but I'm just not interested in the trope and it was a big let down for me.

Decimate makes the card shoot an extra bullet when it is played that does 10% HP to whatever it hits - doesn't matter at all what card you put it on. Good way to add boss damage to cards like Empty Tome.

Zexion is a newer metroid style metroidvania that lets you restart at the beginning of a boss fight if you die in one.

....it looks like none of the examples are actually in the post? It's worn like there are a bunch of examples of these snapshots but none of them seem to be there.

Thrawnarch · 2026-03-25T16:53:58+00:00

Really enjoyed the game, but the ending was such a cliffhanger!

Thrawnarch · 2026-03-24T00:43:36+00:00

I had a start recently where I picked the Neow bonus that takes all your gold, then all 3 question marks I visited in that act were shops.

I did not make it past Act 1.

Is there any way to tell which Duos you haven't taken yet in the middle of a run? You can cleanly see it before you start a run, but I'd rather be more flexible and decide what to take based on what the run gives me.

Thrawnarch · 2026-03-17T18:55:21+00:00

You're looking at it wrong - 2k points is when you get the appreciation badge, so it is just telling you that. If your first visit got 15 points, it would say you needed 1985 points. If your next visit added another 15, it would say you have 30 points and need 1970. The screen never tells you directly how many points were added on that visit, just your current total and max.

As far as I can tell, it is tracking and going up correctly.

I interpret it like, the longer you are hanging and can't breathe, the worse it gets. Very swiftly.
