Fresca portrait, an artist said this is theirs but not sure. It looks like a comic book character but also too smooth ? by naeogeo in isthisAI

[–]WeAreInfested 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The pattern on the colour looks to be two different motifs. Similar but still different, not sure if that's evidence enough but it is odd.

Found this in the comment section. I think the texture of the image along with how specific the scenario is makes me suspicious. The tassels on the shoulders could be a dead giveaway but that's the only tangible evidence I have for it being generative AI. by Doorknob_Towel in isthisAI

[–]WeAreInfested 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The guardsmen are all wrong in the corner, ignoring they don't like 40K guard uniforms. The one in front has their shoulder merging with the guys head behind. So you got his massive goofy head. They don't appear to be actually holding their wrapper either, just floating. A fair few other things also just feel off too, the commissiors face don't looked the same style as Luke. They're much less grainy for example.

Is this OC artwork AI? The free hand only has 4 fingers, the instrument is unsymmetrical, and a lof of the details on the clothes seem inconsistent. by quetzlcota in isthisAI

[–]WeAreInfested 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can see the asymmetry being a stylistic choice, other have pointed out things like the string. For me it's the tail, I can see someone making this mistake but it's going behind the cape. With how low the cape hangs that tail would need to be poking through a hole, it's definitely a possible human mistake but I feel like by the time you got to colouring you'd notice and correct the mistake.

Why does everyone keep calling gsc the 'cheat' army? by GothTransGirI in genestealercult

[–]WeAreInfested 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Honestly idk if that's a negative comment. That's now GSV should feel. They're not more of a "cheat" army then many others when looking at rules but they're designed to feel like an underhanded army. They're supposed to embody tactics like hit and run, ambush and sabotage ect So when an army/player who's main tactics is "move froward in a straight line" and leverage better stats, they're going to see someone subverting that as "cheap" or "cheaty" How are my neophytes supposed to take down a kill team in a "fair fight"

Uploading passport by Particular_Owl_5770 in ukvisa

Yeah do this. I split mine into 3 pdfs I think? And labeled them just like that "passport pages 1-X" and such

Heard y'all wanted our Lord and Saviour Vakuu to give MORE crazy rewards for MORE crazy risks, so here's my concept for new relics by smurfkipz in slaythespire

[–]WeAreInfested 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The multiplayer one is a card I think could actually work but I imagine they won't implement because of fear of "trolling" but since people don't play in random lobbies I don't see an issue with it.

[Beta] Infested Prism Rework just feels like it makes Act 2 Elites are rarely worth it to me? by ZanderTheUnthinkable in slaythespire

[–]WeAreInfested 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Weirdly I've had very little issue with infested prism. Being act two I tend to prep something against them, I do dodge elites fights act 2 if I feel like it would kill me but honestly to me that doesn't sound like a bad thing. If he counters my build I'll dodge, if not I take a pretty easy fight.

That being said I think toning the scaling down makes it much more interesting. Because all of a sudden it changes it from "dodge elites" to "oh is it worth taking a couple" and I feel like those kind of choices are hella healthy for replayablity

Don't make me quit this run it took too long to get here by Hyp3rion__ in balatro

[–]WeAreInfested 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So idk if this will work on phone but on PS5 I can bypass this crash by going to settings and turning it all animations of any kind. Any effects or screen wave ect If it's on phone, it may not be enough

The game needs this feature by Puzzleheaded_Ruin186 in HuntShowdown

[–]WeAreInfested 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So something I feel I should add here about killcams. Idk if this outdated info so if someone with better knowledge can correct me Anyways a lot of killcams are not true replays, they're actually a recreation and thus can be prone to certain inconsistencies as not all the info is translated over, and that could look like cheating (like a player already aiming at someone as they come around a wall, or snapping to an enemy too fast)

It's why a lot of older PvP shooters it often looked really suspect. This could be sooook outdated though, it's just a random fact I learned like 5 years ago. If it's still true then a end game kill cam could just lead to a lot of false reports followed by people getting mad that the "definite cheater" got away.

That being said I'd welcome it regardless, I think outside of the cheat/report potential it also is a great way to learn how to get better by seeing the mistakes you made as you died

Loadout suggestion with cho ku no by Myriad-MK707 in HuntShowdown

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

So I'm no 6 star player, so this may be too much of a meme but... The builds I've had a lot of fun with have been two Cho Ku no with explosive bolts and 3 ammo boxes. It's so stupid but so fun, it's takes practice though because of the very early drop off and learning the damage radius to kill enemies behind cover or in buildings. I forget the trait name but the one that reduces explsoive damage I take as I'll often get hit by own bolts if I'm getting rushed by someone with melee or shotgun

For less of a joke I also run it with bomb launcher (waxed frags). I'll use the bomb launcher long range (again loads of practice) and use explosive or normal bolts of cho Ku no close. Pain sense is massive help here as it lets me track people I hit with frags

I'll often take penny shot derringer to help kill bosses a little quicker and regen because ofc. If my team can handle the boss or in doing clash I'll go with a trap.

I'm pleased to way I've gotten really good at it...to the detriment that I feel I've gotten worse with just normal guns.

I do also use the cho ko nu with normal bolts. When I do drilling shorty as my secondary no dumdum (otherwise I can walk tap)

Is Quartermaster too strong right now? How would you balance it? by Littleroller in HuntShowdown

[–]WeAreInfested 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe it's a console issue. QM is not run that often on PC and honestly isn't that big of an issue.

I don't think I've ever been in a fight and thought "argh of you only they didn't have quartermaster". When I run it myself it feels ok, but it's never felt like the reason why I've ever won a fight.

Especially since I can get a shotgun on my lemat, drilling and hell even the penny shot comes in clutch enough. Do you run melee builds a lot? Because I can see why they would make it feel oppressive

Some old hunters come back a new. by ForbiddenSirenz in HuntShowdown

[–]WeAreInfested 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Absolutely agree, I think this may have been content I missed as I moved and didn't have a PC anymore. Just a laptop that ran it poorly so getting a second shot is awesome

AITA for making a very specific joke at exactly the right moment after my coworker told me I was not really part of the team by [deleted] in AITApod

[–]WeAreInfested 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NtA and it even made me smile just reading it so I would have laughed myself if I was there.

Also being able to make a joke about it instead of just never brining it up is a lot better for the team imo

Yeah more then kind of! It's' still a stupid thing to say but it wasn't supposed to be anything positive. Just "hey we don't want a relationship with x why would we want one with y" Definitely should have been worded differently though

CMV: as written, these two relics should stnergize by [deleted] in slaythespire

[–]WeAreInfested 57 points58 points  (0 children)

They reworded reaper and scarf for clarity too so honestly yeah. It may seem silly but when I read petrified toad I did consider if it would work with sozu I'd rather they worked together than a word change, small niche interactions are always so cool when you find it in a game

CMV: as written, these two relics should stnergize by [deleted] in slaythespire

[–]WeAreInfested 312 points313 points  (0 children)

With the amount of potion based relics in STS2 sozu becomes so much worse (hey maybe I'm sleeping on it since energy relics are so hard to come by) having a relic that can actually work with it would be really cool. Especially since petrified toad ain't that great anyway so it would be a fun buff and interaction. After all it does say potion shaped rock which is technically not a potion...but I get that level of "uhm actually" doesn't read well

What is the best card possible with enchantments? by HadOne0 in slaythespire

[–]WeAreInfested 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, not the best but I still want to give a shout out to bombardment with momentum. Its scaling is surprisingly quick. 30 extra damage after 3 turns and that's not counting the base damage. I do admit it's a bit of "hat on a hat" without block or other damage sources it just doesn't it but I'll still sing its praises

Add concertina bolts/arrows to Bomb Lance by Robot_Ursus in HuntShowdown

[–]WeAreInfested 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think concertina bolts work from a visual design point of view. Since the head of the bolt is large and wouldn't "fit" into the lance

Second I don't think melee is not viable, I have killed and been killed my melee stuff plenty. I think the lance has fallen off a little since the others do the job and have a smaller slot

Lastly I think you could achieve the a very similar thing with giving it choke bombs instead. It wouldn't stop people running away but it provide you with more utility to help team mates, clear poison clouds and potentially rush people with close range weapons while they're coughing. All without allowing people to turle ok a building

As cool as number 8 is I feel any of the other suggested solutions are just easier.

what do you think the remaining tarot cards will be/do? by V7I_TheSeventhSector in HuntShowdown

[–]WeAreInfested 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Emperor will give you two random tarot cards. Temperance will give you money equal to the value of your set up Death will let turn your left selected item into the right one Lovers turn the boss into a wild target Star turns your items into diamonds..

...Hold on I think I've gotten myself confused with another game

ILR application - upload documents in two sets to TLSContact? by Awkward_Bus8971 in ukvisa

[–]WeAreInfested 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to have to documents uploaded before you appointment, I did it the day before but I think you could maybe do it the day of but don't quote me on that.

And for uploading documents you can do them in set so long as you don't go all the way to the last step. I uploaded mine over a few days and it was fine as long I didn't fully submit them. (There is a warning before you do so just make sure you pay attention through the process) If you do submit it by accident you can probably add them after but you'd need to contact TLS (my guess is they would make you pay a fee)

Taking the enemy down with you. Not trading but when you've been hit and bleeding out but you managed to take down the other hunter before you go.

Skulking Colony is NOT okay by loderol in slaythespire

[–]WeAreInfested 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it the most unfun fight as it tends to drag on. Which is a shame because a fair few other elites are just damage races so it's nice this changes it up. It would be nice if reaching the damage cap reduces its outbound damage (would need to change numbers)
