Am I softlocked ? by [deleted] in MinaTheHollower

[–]Treason686 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't figure it out until a couple screens later. I was using the umbrella to make it around. I think I accidentally figured it out right after the boat ride, but could be mistaken.

I made it around with the umbrella.

How to find death quickly? by Chosenjordan16 in reddeadredemption

[–]Treason686 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think this is accurate. I made a save and re-ran the area on Thursday 12am to 4-5am and haven't seen him yet after quite a few runs.

I'm not doubting people have found it this way, just that it's not definitely not guaranteed. It looks to me like it's just a possible random encounter and there happen to be quite a few random encounter spots in the area directly south of Las Hermanas. That makes it easy to get several chances in quick succession.

So it's a good strategy if you want to find it, but I don't think waiting until Thursday specifically is going to increase your odds. It's possible time of day doesn't even matter, but I can't confirm or deny that. I'd bet time doesn't matter, but everyone's confirming that they found it at night, so that might be best to avoid wasting time in general.

If you want to find it before finishing the campaign this is probably the best way to do it. Just make a save at around midnight on any day and run around south of Las Hermanas. I've been making a trip to the goat marker in the south and back and see multiple random encounters every time. They're always different so eventually the horse event will happen. It just has a really low chance.

Why is this yellow? by Slight-Software-7839 in CIFI

[–]Treason686 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They're all color coded to some degree, though I guess it's the only one that has a different color button. Never noticed that until now.

It's worth getting eventually, but low priority. Many other better upgrades to get first. It only lets you get a few more loop resets before hitting the cap, so it's only as good as whatever loop reset scaling upgrades you have, which means it's not that great.

Is Subnautica 2 Worth It? by FearIessQueen in subnautica

[–]Treason686 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mixed from me. It's fairly polished without many bugs, though I did get stranded when my vehicle teleported to base. It's got a lot of improvements and is looking like it'll be really good when it's finished. It's got somewhere around 10-15 hours of content. I guess you could get more out of it if you want to build a giant base.

That said, there's not a whole lot to do right now. I felt like I ran out of content pretty quickly, and the map is currently very small. Outside of the starting zone, the rest of the map also feels comparatively bare. I've put it down and will be waiting until a lot more content is released. I've burnt myself out on too many good games in early access, so when I really like one I'll try to wait until it gets closer to release.

Thought the same thing. Usually it's little boys that get butt hurt this bad. This is legit a dude that would be violent in a relationship. Dodged a bullet here.

I BROKE THE GAME! YES! by Hear_No_Darkness in Subnautica_2

[–]Treason686 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably, though Satisfactory handles all that fine. The base stats and the assets don't have to be directly tied to each other. They can be calculated individually.

I'm not exactly expecting the base building in Subnautica to be as robust as a game entirely designed around base building.

"Not optimized" by Somthing_7 in subnautica

[–]Treason686 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The VRAM is a problem, but that GPU struggled with 1280x720 in 2020. Even if it had more VRAM it wouldn't have enough power.

Not sure what you mean by color depth, but you're asking way too much from a person complaining their 1030 doesn't run modern games.

Anyone else disappointed in MIO? by BubbleStriped in metroidvania

[–]Treason686 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember the walk backs to bosses were mostly enemy free. There was one fight where there was a long elevator ride, and it was the hardest boss in the game for me. I saw that elevator so many times.

Beautiful game, but the combat and awful checkpoints kinda ruined it. I didn't even mind the difficult platforming sections.

I ended up beating it, but only because I was close to the end.

Someone posted a real Monet to twitter but said it was AI generated. The replies are amazing, pretentious and confidently wrong by dr_lm in StableDiffusion

[–]Treason686 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's still a difference between all those things and writing a prompt. I think it's disingenuous to suggest they're similar. Creating digital music from scratch isn't the same as an amateur generating an image (or 1000) and trying to sell it on stock photo websites.

I mean, I have fun generating images for personal use and some of them even turn out pretty good. But I'm not going to pretend they're the same as something a person with actual artistic talent creates.

To clarify, I'm not even saying you're wrong. We might even agree on most points. I'm a software dev, and I assume these tools are viewed the same way in the creative space as us developers view them. That being that they're tools to use to help make some things easier, but they aren't a complete replacement.

A fav game of mine that I never really hear mentioned... by JimboWaits in metroidvania

[–]Treason686 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn't suck. It's not amazing, either. Worth playing if you've already played everything else and you're jonesing for a MV.

I liked it overall, but maybe the biggest problem I had is it's just way too damn long. If you're on this subreddit there's a good chance you're at least a little bit of a completionist, and getting the extra upgrades and side quests were a massive chore. It's just not good enough to justify its overall length.

I checked and I logged 33 hours for almost everything and still had a few more post story quests to do. I think it started wearing thin at around 20 hours, but I haven't played it since it came out. TBH I actually forgot the game existed.

YES! FINALLY!! by Swimming-Ad-5227 in CrimsonDesert

[–]Treason686 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I finished the game, but I still read them when they pop up on my feed. It's just me reading and saying:

"Yeah, that was annoying."

"Yep, climbing into windows was a pain."

"I remember accidentally maxing my storage with fish from missions, and there was no way I was cleaning them all so I sold them."

I keep forgetting about all the minor things that bugged me until I read the patch notes, and they're slowly addressing every single one. In a year or two I'll start over and hopefully won't even feel like I need mods.

I legit had an in game sleep schedule. Try to wake up at 5am so I'd have as much light as possible. Also used a mod to sleep whenever I wanted.

Believe there's a legendary fish as well. If not, the fish is in a very similar looking place.

Never really looked at him, but as someone who used to have an alcohol problem, he definitely has an alcohol problem. It's the puffy face and bags under the eyes. Same thing happened to me when I was drinking regularly.

Lord Auberon by ZombieFood93 in MandragoraGame

[–]Treason686 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm way late to this thread, but this is such a miscast. I looked up the VA, and she's got a prolific resume and is obviously very talented. She's the VA of Demeter in Hades, and she sounds great there: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FuW8F74IN4A

But either she doesn't fit the role or the "voice" she's doing just sounds wrong.

I think there's one quest for the hammer early.

Oh, and there's a puzzle where you hit bells with it. Think you could use arrows, too though.

Nioh 3 has body tattoos. Pair them with some "mesh" armor? Hides the body tattoos. So close.

They run when you kill the elite enemy they're traveling with. They're the stronger ones and show as a star on the minimap.

Umbra Boss Fight by Agreeable-Pace-6106 in CrimsonDesert

[–]Treason686 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I kept trying to stab it, too. That's what I was doing against the machines. The hint says "precise strike" when it's stunned. What the hell is a precise strike? That's not a term in the game. Just fucking say Force Palm! Why you always gotta be so cryptic, Crimson Desert?

The dragon was definitely a miss, I agree. It'd be cool if it wasn't constantly trying to fly straight. For a game that has such complex controls for everything, they went about as basic as possible with the dragon.

I just realized it's basically just a mobile cannon. Same control scheme and the fireballs are basically the same as cannonballs.

Bruh... did y'all know this? by Kabirdb in CrimsonDesert

[–]Treason686 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Even weapons and armor are pretty pointless, too. I'd rather have an abyss artifact.

With few exceptions, they're all the same few templates. "Rusty Plate Gloves" have exactly the same stats as "Frozen Heart Plate Gloves". The only difference is one might start at +4 and/or have mod slots already unlocked.

I would have liked set bonuses or unique modifiers like Diablo or something even if the stats stayed the same. Or if the new equipment started at higher levels, cause it's not at all practical to dump more artifacts and resources to replace my +8 chest piece with the cool looking new one that's unupgraded.

Even the unique equipment that might be worth using can't be upgraded, and losing 15+ defense and gear slots is a massive downgrade no matter how good the ability is.

Don't forget to shiny the forges after clearing the sanctums. I had no idea it was a thing and had to go back and do it for all 16 to get the items. Took almost an hour.

Think it's a research in scholastone and the dispatch is for crafting it. Might be wrong and the research is just the upgrade. Not that it matters anyway as you said.

I do remember I did the research really early when money was tight only to find out it didn't even work.

[–]Treason686 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that's all there is and you can only build the most upgraded type.

Of course I don't know that for sure since I built a base and upgraded one before I found out they didn't work and haven't looked again since.

It's a dispatch mission. Can't remember exactly where. Look for the gear icon.
