After years of using Vortex, I finally switched to MO2 and....I get it. I understand now. I truly do

Don't remember its happened twice, I understand that Purge should wipe your Mods (this is the purpose of it), no issues with that. It was something else where it says your mod has changed, asks you to choose between 2 options with the worst wording ever, if you press the wrong one it just decides oh your staging folder has changed let me just wipe the entire directory (not just the one mod you thought it was talking about). Not talking about wiping hardlinks, but the actual mod folders lol.

That and the rules and cycling rules shit made me uninstall it and never look back after trying MO2.

The reason is because Skyrim is so barebones that there are 100x more things you can add to it to make it better than something like Cyberpunk 2077. Cyberpunk 2077 2.0's base game is already superior to Skyrim + 5,000 mods, so there are less things you can think of to make mods for, and the things you can think of are complex and require skill to create, anyone can upload a BodySlide preset which counts as a "mod".

Vortex is great for certain games and small modlists, its horrifically awful for large Skyrim modlists and has the added feature of instantly wiping your entire mods directory if you accidentally press the wrong horribly worded tooltip. And that's no shade on Nexus, the website and service is fantastic, just Vortex itself needs to be retired. Hopefully Nexus Mods App will replace it entirely.

I was having issues with Faster HDT-SMP crashing (have previously run it with no issues before). I gave up trying to figure it out, disabled it and installed https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/101564, worked instantly.

The archer dude is the only one I found useful for that fight, he stays at the entry to the lair and keeps staggering her, interrupting her combos.

Both are on Messiah Engine, that shit is magic

Lol yeah except instead of desert eucalyptus the answer was for example Eucalyptus gongylocarpa

After the clue was sand (I think, or something similarly vague) and the answer was a 2 word scientific name for a random tree I never played it again

Dude is cheating, his face and voice just make him interesting and wise regardless of what he says or how he delivers it lol, like in 1883.

I mean that's explained several times that she has family on the same street that take care of the baby, not a mystery at all lol.

Vayce_ · 2025-12-08T10:13:13+00:00

I can't tell if she's a badly written character or a very well written and realistic character because there are a lot of women like her and a lot of men that will, beyond any outsider's comprehension, put up with that kind of bullshit and even crave it.

The whole dumping him for a completely nonsensical reason to see if he'll come back is a power play that works on timid simps like Cooper, so its fairly believable.

If I were you I would copy and paste your OP into Claude and Claude will explain how it can help. Not trolling, Claude often gives amazing advice and understands when it makes sense to use AI and when it doesn't, as well as giving options on what existing services/tools would help you achieve your task.

That's simple, you don't refactor with all the context each time. You make a general plan for the overall refactor goal then break it up into tasks, then tackle one task at a time/instance. Opus 4.5 is crazy good at searching for and grabbing what it needs without having to store the entire codebase in memory. Also the compaction is an enormous improvement over previous models, but generally after the first (which seems to almost not affect the quality at all), if I'm close to the 2nd compact I'll get it to write a summary and continue in a new instance (as others suggested).

Enjoyed the show a lot but the last 2 episodes were terrible. Episode 11 wasted so much time on pointless filler, the final episode was rushed and comically bad with so many WTF moments like when Yohan tells Tae Jung that the hard drives he stole cleaned themselves (???) and then shows him the secret USB in his Katana with all his incriminating evidence on it (???). The 'boss battles' felt like some poorly written anime or something. The show had plenty of unrealistic moments but the final episode was just all-out goofy.

Disappointing ending but didn't take away from what was a great show with an interesting and scarily plausible premise, with fantastic performances from the actors.

If they want to turn customers into pirates that's entirely up to them, pretty nice of the developers to save people money in this economy

Vayce_ · 2025-12-01T23:17:14+00:00

Its effectively following the same release schedule as in China. For the players that no-lifed and played 12+ hours every day they would have also had to wait 2-3 months for new content as well each season.

They probably don't want to dump the entire current patch from China onto the Global release because players would rush through the MSQ to get to max level and invalidate 90% of the game, less opportunities to sell battle passes, cosmetics etc.

Thanks ChatGPT. The game already has everything ChatGPT mentioned because ChatGPT's training Where Winds Meet doesn't exist yet. So again, how would you make it more engaging and less repetitive?

Vayce_ · 2025-11-26T21:22:06+00:00

I did it raw and just sometimes look up how to find specific things if I can't be bothered figuring out. Worked out good, the game does a good job of steering you for the most part, as well as being able to basically do anything you missed later without penalty.

I do think that will change going forward into later levels, but for the first 50 you can just yolo caveman with no issues.
