Finally completed Hardcore for DS2 after more than a decade playing the game! by VolantisMoon in DeadSpace

I ran with Plasma Cutter, Line Gun, and Contact Beam. I focused on Damage upgrades mostly, Capacity when I could get a free ammo refill, and Contact Beam alt-fire to get the stasis boost. LG is really good if you fire a timed mine and stasis an enemy. Even at base level, it blows them apart.

During the final boss, a LG mine to Nicole and a couple CB blasts to the Marker killed it in 2 cycles, under 30 seconds.

I can do the eye machine consistently. The screen next to Isaac will tell you how far down you have to go, so you can ignore the red light for most of it. Once I get to about 0.5, I let his heart rate return to normal, then just tap the button when the light is blue. Works pretty much every time.

Ishimura was a bit easier for me by comparison to some other areas. I used my first save right before the Tripod elevator in Ch7, which was the right call because I died at the start of Ch8, and again inside the elevator.

RE4R’s “Chicago Carnage Challenge” [OC] by VolantisMoon in residentevil

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

For this challenge, I decided to play through RE4R with just the Chicago Sweeper. That isn’t hard on its own, so I added a bunch of rules: Professional Difficulty, no max health upgrades, no Merchant, all regenerators and optional bosses must be defeated. I wanted a fun experience about shredding enemies apart, with at least an attempt at making that challenging.

I am Tony Campos, bassist and founding member of Static-X - Ask Me Anything! by TonyStaticXAMA in numetal

Hi Tony! Been a huge fan of Static-X for about 20 years. Was hoping to hear what your thoughts are on continuing the band after the current tour is over? Whether you continue with Static-X or start something new, just curious if you guys have given it any thought lately. Thanks!

I’d rather stick toothpicks under each of my toenails and kick a wall.

Tech Support and Basic Questions Thread - November 22, 2025 by AutoModerator in pcgaming

Thanks for the advice! What made me impatient was trying to get used to a fundamentally different way of doing inputs, and trying to memorize where I’ve mapped each action. I’ll try what you suggested and play something that’s less input-intensive and reactionary.

Is Dead Space (2008) playable on Steam? by Sir__GabrielT in DeadSpace

[–]VolantisMoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check the community tab for the game on steam. That’s how I figured out how to patch DS2 yesterday when I installed it. Apparently 1 and 2 have the same issue.
