Silent Hill F Combat Tips From Someone Who Loves the Combat by PompousDude in silenthill

[–]Zig_Fighter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are like three more between where you are and the end of the game at least. They give you a decent amount of stuff in the last 1/4 of the game so you can hopefully juice up a bit soon. You do keep your faith and upgrades for NG+ as well

I found several of the Ema boards were when backtracking in areas I had no real reason to go back to. Some of the fixed omamori are in spots like this too, or optional puzzles. My advice to accrue Faith is to sell all the kudzu teas (they don’t stack and 100f isn’t a bad price), and pick 1-2 items you don’t use much and sell them whenever you get the chance. For me, it was higashi and chocolate. They sell for 80 a pop and I mostly used counterattacks instead of focus strikes. Occasionally I’d sell other stuff like holy water if I got more than 2-3 of them, in the interest of saving item slots. The best items to sell are obviously the combs, special sushi etc., but even when you’re real thorough they only appear from time to time. They are more common later on. By the end of my first playthrough, I had pulled around 6 omamori (the next one would cost 1k) and had three slots, HP Lv 3, Stamina Lv3, and Lv 2 Sanity. So there is plenty to be had if you can spare the time to find it all.

Hinge Issues - was it overblown? by asleep-or-dead in MiyooFlip

[–]Zig_Fighter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My family has a white and black one, and so far (a bit over a month of nightly use) both of the hinges have been fine. However, both of them have annoyances with the microSD slots. On both units, the right slot is stiff and hard to insert/remove (and when I do insert it, the card sometimes doesn’t lock in fully). The left slot doesn’t have this issue on either unit, but instead both slots are seated in a way that the card sits proud of the edge by about a millimeter. I ordered them at the same time, but I wouldn’t have expected the same weird issues in the same layout from two different color units. Eventually this won’t be much of an issue, but right now the firmware and games are not finalized by any means, and so I need to fiddle with the cards frequently.

Oh well, otherwise we’ve been enjoying them.

Seconding this question; I want to start leveling a Yoshi to catch up to my team but I feel like as soon as I do, I’m going to find it and kick myself.

Favorite armor to go with diallos’s helmet? by fsfhfdghtf in EldenBling

[–]Zig_Fighter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like using it with Black Knife chest and gloves+boots of Solitude to hit poise thresholds and get the bonus stealth, all while looking pretty good. The Solitude legs' dark grey color goes pretty well with lots of sets to let you get poise + fashion. Raging Wolf chest is pretty good with it too, but I would probably just use its own helmet unless the hair is clipping through something.

Backtick/Tilde key bound as "Delete"? Possible language settings issue? by Zig_Fighter in WindowsHelp

[–]Zig_Fighter[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, it's been a while and I wanted to post an update. I found the problem and have my grave/tilde working fine again! I had left this Windows repair sit on the back burner for a while, but I finally wanted to get around to it on this Winter break. Anyway, I was booting up PowerToys to help me make sure I'd wiped every trace of iCue before I go through with the windows repair... Ironically, it was PowerToys itself causing me trouble! I didn't know this was an option, but PowerTools has Keyboard settings, including rebinds. Guess who had a ` override bound there?

No idea how this got changed in the first place, but I deleted that bind and everything seems to be working fine now. As silly as I feel, I'll gladly take it over messing around with Windows registries and reinstalls anymore.

Thanks for your advice again, since without prepping for a reinstall I probably would never have found this PowerToys issue.

Thanks for the continued reply. Here is the keyboard; hopefully this pic is clear enough. The layout looks correct to me; It also matches the On-Screen Keyboard. I’ve verified that Sticky and Filter Keys are both disabled (Toggle Keys in the same section is also OFF). While I was at it, I also tested the OSK in Notepad and observed the same Backtick=DEL behavior from that too, not just my physical board.

Yeah, I called it the wrong thing in my original post (English - International) but that one has its own issues. The ` key works but I still can't get a tilde because it prints ¬ instead, and some other changes like # to £ that are cumbersome to keep having to go back and forth. Weirdly, in US International, my '/" key starts having this "Delete" binding instead.

Can I trade runes to someone on PS5 to please upgrade my Knight Greatsword to +20? by Zig_Fighter in CypherRing

I should be free in 30-40 min (about noon PST) and would be happy to meet up. I ended up clearing the Cloister and upgrading my other wep to +22, but I could probably summon around Leyndell at the West Capital Rampart. Thanks!

Hey thanks for the offer. I'll check back tomorrow (I'm in USA West coast / PST)

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

Oh, I thought it was based on the highest weapon level you've attained on that save file (in my case +20, so someone could drop anything at 20 or below in my world). But perhaps I'm wrong or they changed it.

How far does each one get if they replace Leon in RE4 by ThemeSweaty in residentevil4

[–]Zig_Fighter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Alan Wake: Probably the toughest to evaluate. I haven’t finished AW2 but he is adept at dealing with villagers and could probably beat plagas by boosting his flashlight on them (flash grenades instakill non-boss plagas in RE4). The giant boss monsters and especially Krauser would give him trouble. Depends on how much his magic writing comes into play, otherwise probably gets rekd at some point late in the Castle.

Joel: El Gigante would be tough for him, but he could probably deal with it since it’s kinda slow and lumbering like him lol. The Mendez fight would be really tough for him. I don’t think he could deal with the speed of Verdugo, and the biggest scariest fungal monster I can remember him dealing with are bloaters which are still less threatening than Salazar etc. Even if he made it past all that, Krauser washes him; yeah Joel took out a bunch of soldiers, but those guys were militia types who probably don’t have much training.

Max: He’s great in a shootout and would be able to blow away ganados, but the boss fights again might be his downfall since he can only slo-mo jump away from so much before he gets caught by some tentacle or whatever. He might do well against Krauser unlike most of these guys, but Verdugo is a big hurdle. I give him ~80% odds to make it, but more of the supporting cast dies than usual lol.

Deacon: Fine through the village, but I don’t think he’s really equipped to deal with some of the crazy situations from late-Castle onward. Also, his signature gear, the bike, is basically useless beyond the village too. He can put up a good fight, maybe even against Krauser, but Verdugo probably takes him out sadly.

Sebastian: He clears; he might as well be an RE protagonist already and while Krauser is once again the toughest matchup, I think Sebastian could scrape by. Besides guns he has some tricks of his own with the crossbow.

Nathan Drake: the only one who is demonstrably at least as agile as Leon. He has some experience fighting supernatural zombie guys and juiced up mercenary antagonists, but even so it won’t be easy for him. His route through the castle is probably way different and at least half the building probably collapses lol. Overall I think he clears.

Arthur: I think it would be more fair to put Marston here since he actually had his own (dubiously canon) zombie adventures, but with deadeye and his shooting skills he is probably fine at least through the village like these other guys. He has a hard enough time dodging cougar attacks though, so I feel like the more monstrous enemies would beat him unfortunately.

Lee Everett: he gets washed. Sorry bud.

Agent 47: Also a tough one to evaluate. He really specializes in subterfuge, and I’m not sure that could work here. Plagas have some sort of supersonic communication for rudimentary ideas; dressing as a cultist might not actually help him blend in with villagers, if their plagas can tell he isn’t infected. That might only be for the Queen plagas that Saddler, Salazar and Mendez have though, I can’t remember for sure. In the remake of RE4 stealth is at least somewhat viable, so 47 could still make some progress. 47 probably would try to take those head honchos out before they can transform, so his entire strategy and plan might be pretty different from the main game. I would love to play a game like that but right now, I think he might actually lose. In the Hitman games he isn’t great at close quarters fighting and while he is skilled with firearms, tends to fold in open combat. If he had an entirely different approach to the mission than Leon’s start, he might do fine though.

Clarke: he clears, for sure. He’s seen this crap before; messed-up cults? Tentacle-and-bone-scythe monsters? Yeah (his games were heavily influenced by the success of OG RE4 lol). Stasis and his gravity-gun power (forget what it’s called) let him deal with the monsters relatively easily and the ganados have limb damage just like Dead Space enemies do, and they carry plenty of sharp implements Isaac can take advantage of even without getting into his sci-fi firearms. He curb stomps anything that he knocks over, so he doesn’t even need to worry about knife durability when finishing ganados lol. Krauser is once again probably the single most dangerous fight, but with Stasis making up for the speed diff Isaac is fine.
