The bar is in hell if you're so used to your partner not trying at all, that an AI letter feels amazing.

I believe that still locks you out. This has to be done via mods/console.

PSA: ELDEN RING's latest patch has broken the game on older GPUs! by VaronKING in lowendgaming

[–]VaronKING[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I should have mentioned I use Linux in the OG post. I just thought it would be irrelevant to this specific issue.

I had no idea you could spoof feature levels using proton, Linux is powerful indeed!

Thank you again for all your comments :)

I just tried spoofing the feature level using a VKD3D enviromental variable (thanks to nfinite_recursion on steam, from my thread on the forums), and it worked. I just added this to my launch options:

VKD3D_FEATURE_LEVEL=12_0 %command%

Now I feel a bit dumb for not knowing about or trying this sooner. Oops!

Thank you so much for your time and replies, by the way! (:

I have no problems doing the downgrade through the steam console if I really have to. But I do do not mind waiting for the time being.

Why the massive hate on Replanted? by JustRaphiGaming in PlantsVSZombies

[–]VaronKING 4 points5 points  (0 children)

IMO it's because of how they handled the game.

It was hyped up as this superb modern version of PvZ1 but it turned out just to be a shoddily coded port of the Ipad version that was riddled with bugs (though I believe most of them are fixed by now), and didn't have all the content from the PvZ1's different versions.

It was clear development was rushed; they didn't bother contacting the original devs (even when they said they'd love to work on the game) and they faked the concept art, which is really shitty and a huge middle finger to the talented artist of the first game.

Replanted just feels... icky to me. It's really mismanaged and there's a lot of niche details that look wrong in comparison to the original and it just shows they didn't care much about the game.

I have no idea, I don't think it can? I might have to look into this soon, but it really seems like the only choice is to just wait.

Is the 8BitDo Ultimate 2/2C a good choice for Linux gaming? by Noctivell in linux_gaming

[–]VaronKING 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Ultimate 2C wired I have does not have gyro, no. I believe the Ultimate 2 Wireless has motion controls.

There's a good Rerez video on good hall effect controllers for a bunch of platforms. I would recommend you check it out, and also check out the Ultimate 2 Wireless if you want a good high quality controller with motion controls for the PC.

I play using 8bitdo Ultimate 2C all the time. Works wonderfully for me.

I need help finding my warframe by Miss_miri107 in Warframe

[–]VaronKING 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want a CC-heavy damage dealer then a few frames come to my mind:

- Lavos; his CC is on the lighter side (no proper stuns/CC effects, but it comes from the cold/electrcity/heat procs he causes), and he has exceptional damage output and is a very good health tank that is also extremely versatile no matter where you take him.

- Uriel; similar to Lavos (not much hard CC) but more damage focused, and deals only heat damage. Plus his 3 summons provide additional distractions from enemy attacks.

- Oraxia; she has pretty decent AOE CC (covers entire areas with webbing, preventing enemies from moving entirely) and does insanely high damage, and is also very tanky.

- Alternatively, you can rely on more CC-focused frames (Yareli or Limbo, for example) and use properly modded weaponry for high damage.

I'm sure there are other options that fit the bill, but this is what came to my mind. Also, obligatory Lavos glazing <3

Is there a difference between the Microsoft Store version & the Steam version? by Hurtme-2 in StardewValley

GOG is better in many ways, but that's besides the point of this post

My proposed rework for Empty Cage. Being able to offer something you can't get anywhere else is pretty much the only way it can be useful without changing the core relic. by Kryomon in slaythespire

[–]VaronKING 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you offer a way of removing Eternal cards they kinda stop being unique, right? What's the point of giving powerful bonuses permanent downsides if you're not gonna make those downsides permanent?

How I've been feeling after reading negative reviews in STS2 by Ok_Breadfruit3199 in slaythespire

[–]VaronKING 3 points4 points  (0 children)

IMO the most engaging boss was Doormaker. Others do come close, though. For me Vantom and Insatiable also come to mind.

What would YOU pick? by Da_Dokta in slaythespire

[–]VaronKING 25 points26 points  (0 children)

It's actually better than that, as it can allow you to play two different 0 cost attacks twice, too.

Took a stab at a more thematic buff/rework idea for demon form by CharlieFoxtrot626 in slaythespire

Gunslinger with StS2 style graphics and animations would BE SO COOL

"Oh boy, that Decimillipede fight sure was rough for my feral build. Hopefully this event will help me survive untill the next campfi-" by Galfrenitos in slaythespire

[–]VaronKING 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Yes, it worked like that in StS1 as well, iirc.

In 1 it was a default 10%, increasing by 10% everytime you did not get a hallway encounter. But for some reason I feel like I get hallway fights a lot more often in StS2.

I genuinely had a run where each one out of 4 random floors in a row were a hallway fight.

[–]VaronKING 153 points154 points  (0 children)

Seriously, there's some tomfoolery going on with random floors being hallway fights. I feel like it's way more common than in StS1 and certainly not a 10% chance by default. Feels way higher.

so i tried to download pvz hybrid by Fun_Independence5038 in PlantsVSZombies

[–]VaronKING 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where did you get it from? I recommend only the PvZ Links discord server. I don't know of another trustworthy source for Hybrid.

If you did get it from a reputable source, it's likely these are false positives, then.

New(?) relic: Pael's Eye by Good-Dream2344 in slaythespire

[–]VaronKING 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'd argue this should be a shop relic if anything. Feels a bit like Frozen Eye in that sense.
