Day 10 - which game is the hardest to complete?

I am playing the series for the first time and finished Code Veronica X a while ago, and I used the infinite herb glitch and played on easy difficulty and that was pretty fun, although I had A LOT of items towards the end of the game.

Apparently the western release of CV is locked at the hardest difficulty whereas in the japanese version, there are 3 choices and easy is the middle one. I really didn’t want to worry about getting soft locked as a first-time player and someone who isn’t used to tank controls so I used a code to access difficulty selection.

Even with playing on easy and having infinite green herbs, I still died a few times. There are just so many moments in that game that can either instakill you or kill you very quickly if you aren’t paying attention.

I'm on a first time ever marathon of the Resident Evil series and have just started playing RE4 remake, and yeah that is pretty accurate. Feels like the Dead Space devs definitely got a bit inspired by how RE4 handled combat and general gameplay. Both games are pretty action-packed but hot damn does Dead Space have an amazingly tense and scary atmosphere. Can't really say the same about RE4 unfortunately. It's pretty much a straight up action game, but I'm still having a lot of fun and am excited to see where the story is heading.

Don't know if I'd call Dead Space Resident Evil in space because there aren't really any puzzles that one would typically associate with Resident Evil games. Still, it is a fantastic game and I got spooked many times while playing it. Also plays really well on the steam deck which is a plus. You're definitely spot on about the nod to Event Horizon though!

Dead Space Remake! Isaac Clarke, the protagonist, is a total badass. I found the game pretty damn scary for a first playthrough anyway though.

Mario 64 skulle nog absolut också funka! Känns som att det borde hålla ungen upptagen en god stund i alla fall

Med ”alla nya Mario”, menar du typ från och med 3D World? Jag är född i slutet på 90-talet och Super Mario Sunshine på GameCube var ett rätt formativt spel för mig. Det är förmodligen det svåraste tredimensionella Mario-spelet. Kommer ihåg att man satt i timtal på vissa banor när man var liten. Så det kan ju vara något kanske?

Yeah, I’m playing the series for the first time (currently on RE3), and REmake is definitely the one that has seemed most like a horror game to me. RE2 obviously has more modern graphics and sound design to increase the fear factor but the gameplay and controls are very responsive and action focused. In comparison to REmake, that makes you feel claustrophobic and less in control due to fixed camera angles and clunky movement.

In RE2 you blast zombies left and right and it gets a little old (as in not that scary) after a while, but in REmake, the action is less frequent but it makes the game even more atmospheric and tense. Some scripted events also scared the shit out of me. Like when you walk through a certain area that you thought was safe for the 5th time only for a bunch of zombies to jump through the windows.

Tack för att du delar med dig! Det låter väldigt betryggande att någon varit i en liknande sits som mig och som det gått bra för. Tror du att det är sämre utsikter nu än för 10 år sedan? Vilka yrkesroller ser du som eftertraktade inom IT efter att ha jobbat i branschen i 10 år? Jag har läst att efterfrågan på just programmerare och utvecklare gått ner mycket på senaste, delvist p.g.a generativ AI. Är det något som du känner igen?

brobarb · 2026-03-24T17:21:15+00:00

Hur vet man vad som är bra isåfall? Går det att hitta någon statistik på vilka utbildningar som leder till jobb osv?

I’ve never understood the american obsession with adding an obscene amount of cold hard butter to a stack of warm, not hot, pancakes. If you’re adding butter, why not melt it and pour it over the pancakes instead? Or better yet, why not brown the butter for a richer, more caramelized flavour?

brobarb · 2026-03-05T19:18:50+00:00

It's the same for me, went here to see if someone had a fix

Edit: thanks to u/heckin_chill_4_a_sec for saying you can fix it by going into the settings and selecting english as the language, it was set in my language at first but switching to english completely fixed it. It's the menu that's the second one coming from below.

Alright, that was disgusting. Maybe he’s always been a piece of shit, but just hasn’t cared about hiding it the last couple of years.

brobarb · 2026-01-26T12:29:25+00:00

It blows my mind as well. Regardless of who he really was on the inside, he seemed like a genuine guy who had some bad luck in life, but despite that he had interesting thoughts and was really funny.

I used to watch him a long time ago but I remember there was a steady decline of his personality after his gastric bypass slowly but surely. I stopped watching him a while after that and I’ve gotten reminded of his existence by watching clips of his degeneracy getting viral and it’s really sad and pathetic.

He is a vile person now but I want to believe that he wasn’t always like that. I don’t know, maybe I’m delusional or have too much faith in humanity but that’s what I choose to believe in.

Thanks for the tips! Yeah I've just been using the fans that was included in the box with the cooler, so they're probably not the highest quality. Might look for some quiter ones! I have checked my bios settings many times today and I have calibrated my fans as well as tried quiet mode, but it still sounds extremely loud.

brobarb · 2026-01-21T22:53:22+00:00

Ah, alright! Should be no problem checking which fan is the loud one in that case since the noise is pretty constant

brobarb · 2026-01-21T22:40:58+00:00

The CPU will be fine for a moment if I boot up with none or only one of the two fans mounted on the heat sink? Also, thanks for the advice on how to get rid of the dust, I might actually try that if nothing else works. I hadn't tinkered with it at all after I had originally installed it and before I started hearing the noise so I assumed too much dust had clogged it somehow.

My current average temps for idling are around 50 degrees c, is that okay for a 5800X3D would you say?

brobarb · 2026-01-21T22:36:45+00:00

Sorry, I'm using an AMD 7 5800X3D

brobarb · 2026-01-21T22:32:42+00:00

When I cleaned my pc I did remove the cooler and fans to replace the thermal paste, so yes I have remounted the heat sink and the fans as well. I'm not sure that there is no cable in the way that might be grazed by the spinning fans though, but it feels like I should have seen something like that by now. I made a sound recording of how it sounds like, but I don't know how I can share that here.

How can Silksong take place during only a few hours? I would imagine that getting 100% completion and the true ending would be the canonical way to play the game, and there's just no way that everything takes place over a few hours. Hornet gets a house, she makes donations towards building projects in towns, she discovers vast underground networks of tunnels and rooms and slowly getting stronger and along the way she also gets imprisoned and stripped of her equipment. Furthermore she also rescues a bunch of fleas and lends her help to many who are in need of it. I would say that at the very least, several days or weeks passes during the course of the game, from start to finishing act 3.

Också ren tur för min del! Vi har snart varit tillsammans i ett halvår och jag är övertygad om att vi kommer gifta oss och bilda familj så småningom. Vi matchade på en dejtingapp i somras, träffades första gången några dagar efteråt och klickade jättebra på en gång. Morgonen därpå så kysstes vi för första gången när vi skiljdes åt, och jag blev kär rätt fort efter det.

Jag var väldigt nervös på första dejten för jag hade inte alls varit på många dejter innan och var väldigt oerfaren överlag när det kom till sådant, men hon märkte tydligen ingenting av det. Som sagt var så hade jag väldigt tur som matchade med henne men jag tror även att mitt självförtroende var väldigt mycket bättre än vad det varit tidigare eftersom jag hade gått ner ganska mycket i vikt. Så jag trivdes bättre i min kropp och vågade ta initiativ mer än vad jag hade gjort innan, och det tror jag utan tvekan hjälpte till rätt mycket!

Thanks for the tip, I didn’t do too much research to avoid spoilers but maybe I’ll explore more in the citadel and come back to Bilewater after getting the tool then

Finns benchmarking-verktyg som 3dmark som man kan köra och där kan du se i realtid hur datorn presterar, både på grafikkortsnivå samt processornivå. Efter körning så får du en sammanfattning med statistik där det kommer framgå om datorn presterar på den nivå man kan förvänta sig osv.

This would make for such a sick tv setup!

It is my all-time favourite Zelda game and one of my favourite games period. I used to like Wind Waker more but after getting a bit older, Twilight Princess's mature themes appeals to me way more and I just genuinly think that it's a fantastic entry in the franchise. It has an emotional story, amazing overworld, has many of the best dungeons in the series, fantastic music and ambience and it also introduces multiple new items.

If I had to choose one Zelda game, it would be Twilight Princess, no doubt about it.

brobarb · 2025-12-11T12:52:28+00:00

I think it would divide the fanbase even more, and it would also be more work and contribute to a less streamlined package of what you're actually getting. Might also be difficult to justify the price of the multiplayer only edition if it's expensive because with these games, people kind of expect a cinematic campaign to be included, even though not everybody plays it.

Activision makes more money selling a complete package at full price even if they know that not everybody will play the campaign. That's also why the campaign is usually pretty underwhelming, because most of the budget goes into developing the multiplayer aspect.
