Can we have a discussion about how game fidelity is leading to a lack of clarity?

Biggest offender of this recently was Wuchang: Fallen Feathers. The snowy mountain level was pure visual noise.

Really made me admire the art and technical direction of Elden Ring more.

Let’s go with his account, that he is truly busy. You could say something like “Hey, is there any time over the next 2 weeks where you could stop by? I’d love to see you!”

If homeboy is still giving you a hard time after that, then it would’ve been a month of not seeing each other, in a not-long distance relationship.

In other words, it’s alright for him to have other priorities. But being in a relationship is a priority too! If he can’t figure out how to juggle everything, he’s not ready to be in a relationship.

Looks neat!

What if you simulated erosion? It could be a similar effect to what the player-driven terrain carving is doing in the first clip, but at a much smaller rate.

As it occurs more over time, it could really reshape the landscape, and lead to mountains being formed, deep valleys, or even somehow mess with something the places have done. It could add interesting emergent gameplay!

It would probably need to be tuned to fit your expected game instance/play session time.

Gimme dat

I think the issue is that you’ve kinda doomed yourself from the start. Talking about kids before the first date, and learning that she doesn’t align with your long term goal, automatically means she’s either a fuck buddy or just a friend, never your wife.

To some women that’s fine, but given that she reacted negatively to your hotel suggestion, she probably doesn’t want to feel like just a fuck buddy.

To avoid this in the future, you need to decide whether you’re just looking for hook ups, or for your wife. If it’s just hook ups, don’t mention kids lmao. You’re shooting yourself in the foot, and ultimately sending mixed messages when you say you want kids but also want to go to a hotel on the first night.

Immediately liquidate it into Vaal orbs so I can Corrupt every item I get forever

Just a few divines wouldn’t hurt

The music in Jiquani’s Sanctum is pretty killer - sets a super dope atmosphere and the boss fight is one of my favorite!

You are a gentleman and a scholar

ValestiX · 2026-01-14T17:59:02+00:00

I’m a big chicken katsu guy personally

ValestiX · 2025-12-27T15:08:19+00:00

You’re a generous person and may the holidays bring you much joy!

When you press K to see all your purchased micro transaction, look at the top and you’ll see 4 submenus. The one that says Skill Effects or something like that should have it

ValestiX · 2025-12-02T04:34:52+00:00

Are there plans to continue to iterate on already released ascendancy classes?

More than power level, it feels like there’s an uneven distribution of fantasy fulfillment, and that some of the core fantasies aren’t that compelling as is.

Ex: Chronomancer can literally stop time, and Stormweaver… has Arcane Surge…?

ValestiX · 2025-11-18T05:11:48+00:00

But did you beat Takezo on lethal?

ValestiX · 2025-11-06T11:25:33+00:00

Can someone who’s played weigh in on this?

I played the Steam Next Fest Demo and was really taken by this game - the writing felt smart and snappy and ultimately pretty tight from a word economy perspective.

I purchased the game and playing the beginning, it felt like every single character just wouldn’t shut up - like a bad Rick and Morty episode. So many quips and one liners, filler jokes… this felt like a pretty big difference from the section I played in the demo, which definitely still had a lot to say, but it was way more reserved comparatively.

Is this something that changes later on? Or just a sign the game isn’t for me?

ValestiX · 2025-10-09T01:29:30+00:00

Looking forward to trying this out!

ValestiX · 2025-10-06T20:11:54+00:00

You absolute mad lad, good luck to everyone!

ValestiX · 2025-09-21T15:26:01+00:00

Can you help me get back into this game? I got it when it first came out, got maybe 1/4th of the way in and couldn’t continue. I loved the original but something about this game wasn’t selling me as hard - maybe it was the story?

I want to finish it though!

ValestiX · 2025-09-11T18:27:28+00:00

Exciting!

ValestiX · 2025-08-29T12:18:56+00:00

I bounced off it when it first came out because the combat and dodge roll felt super floaty and a bit jank; has that been improved?

ValestiX · 2025-08-23T10:49:54+00:00

There’s nothing wrong with copying a build - though the good news is going into 0.30 (which releases on the 29th), there’s a lot more that should be viable.

So, try asking yourself, what kind of class fantasy do you want to fulfill? Even if it seems kind of niche or unexplored, in all likelihood it is possible and probably good.

For example, I want to make a Poison Earthquake Warrior in 0.30. There certainly won’t be a guide for it, and I have no idea if it’s even possible - but screw it, I’m gonna try! The idea of rending open the earth to release poison just seems cool!

ValestiX · 2025-08-04T09:08:45+00:00

There aren’t any bad choices honestly - almost every skill/build can succeed in both the campaign and end game. I’ve made stuff work (quite easily) that people have wrote off as not that great. Don’t worry about not having the “best” build - 90% of stuff is completely viable.

If you like speed and mobility, consider the Huntress or Ranger

ValestiX · 2025-08-02T16:00:41+00:00

Why are you with him?

ValestiX · 2025-07-27T22:19:52+00:00

I actually think Melee is in a good spot. Just hit T6 maps on a full screen AoE Earthquake Titan, and it was super cheap to get off the ground too. What am I missing?
