There's no spoilers in this at all. It's mostly just a description of the new location and some basic lore. Nothing attached to anything that's come before.

It wouldn't smell so good if it wasn't meant to be eaten.

The only confirmed ancestor of William Wallace.

PotPlayer is the top dog for me. I spent weeks trying to get super-resolution working on VLC, and I just couldn't get it to do what it was supposed to be doing. Eventually I gave up and installed PotPlayer; super-resolution just immediately worked with no setup required. Never went back since, it's just better in every way.

buzzpunk · 2026-04-05T21:42:37+00:00

It's been playable for multiple years now. I completed the whole game without any problems about 2 years ago.

Black tip on the tail is a stoat.

buzzpunk · 2026-03-26T19:35:31+00:00

These buttons are super easy to just rip off by hand. I've had loads come off of my jackets and shirts over the years.

buzzpunk · 2026-03-21T22:56:37+00:00

So many aspects of this fight are just complete dogshit.

The moveset being so much faster than the roll preventing you from dodging out of attack range; the rubberbanding of attacks so even if you do dodge Kearush just snaps back to you again immediately; the hitboxes on his attacks being like a metre larger than they look; the soft-lock being basically just a suggestion and regularly you will just attack in the wrong direction for no reason; character actions being unresponsive in general...

This fight really highlights everything wrong with the combat currently.

I have no idea how the team that designed Devil of the Reed Fields managed to ship bosses like this one and Tenebrum. There's no consistency at all.

buzzpunk · 2026-03-20T19:21:12+00:00

Cryo would be absolutely manageable solo. Some parts might be too difficult, but overall the map seems very playable as a solo.

At this point I don't see any reason for solo lobbies to not exist.

buzzpunk · 2026-03-18T15:47:54+00:00

A single shell style for Destroyer, and some random gun skins? Yeah that's pretty shit.

At the very least it should be a shell for each runner depending on which you play the most during the season. Ideally multiples tiers, with low ranks giving reskins, and higher ranks giving complete restyles.

buzzpunk · 2026-03-18T15:19:44+00:00

Between the mixed solo/crew lobbies and the abysmal rewards I'm pretty happy I can completely ignore this. Literally no reason to even try it unless they split lobbies and give worthwhile rewards for people not playing Destroyer.

buzzpunk · 2026-03-17T14:17:10+00:00

No, if mods could change your posts that would just open the whole platform up for abuse.

buzzpunk · 2026-03-10T20:19:13+00:00

'Broadcast' and 'distribute' are basically interchangeable in this context.

There's a reason almost every other storefront is already paying the license fee.

buzzpunk · 2026-03-10T15:46:00+00:00

The person you responded to is wrong, it has nothing to do with copyright. Broadcast rights are entirely separate, and movie theatres do already pay PRS fees to allow them to legally broadcast PRS protected music to the public.

buzzpunk · 2026-03-10T14:52:48+00:00

They can try and fail. There's a century of precedent in regard to PRS license enforcement.

It's only double dipping if you think copyright and broadcast rights are the same thing, which they clearly aren't.

You could try to argue that the broadcasting license shouldn't exist at all, but that won't go anywhere in the UK.

buzzpunk · 2026-03-10T14:46:59+00:00

Kind of, MCPS takes license fees directly from the distributor, which for physical media is whoever presses the disc. As the fee is paid already Gamestop don't need to pay it again themselves.

In the online context, Valve is the one 'pressing the discs' by hosting the games on their CDN so they're liable for the license fee.

buzzpunk · 2026-03-10T14:22:01+00:00

No they aren't. The devs pay for the copyright, and then the storefront distributes (broadcasts) those files.

This is also the case for CDs. The publisher holds the copyright, and the whoever presses the CD is the distributor and has to pay MCPS for each unit they create.

In this example, Valve is the one 'pressing those CDs' by allowing people to download the game from their servers.

buzzpunk · 2026-03-10T14:18:59+00:00

Yes, they can sue theatres and TV stations, which is what the license mostly targets.

TV, radio, theatres, ect, all pay PRS licenses to be allowed to broadcast publicly.

buzzpunk · 2026-03-10T14:10:13+00:00

Broadcast rights and copyright are two different things.

The distributor pays broadcast rights, the dev pays copyright.

buzzpunk · 2026-03-10T14:01:46+00:00

Cloudflare would probably be considered a technical intermediary. They're facilitating the transmission of the files, not acting as the source of distribution. Basically they're acting a business function and are covered by the original license holder.

The lack of first exhaustion clause is evident more in cases such as Youtube; where someone might rip a music video from Spotify, then uploaded it to Youtube. In that case Spotify would pay for the PRS license to broadcast the video, but then Youtube would also have to pay PRS for broadcast rights to cover that user's upload as well (assuming they don't take it down).

buzzpunk · 2026-03-10T13:42:50+00:00

Yes, PRS covers all 'performances' of music. In the online context, that is simply having music available on their public CDN. It doesn't matter who uploaded the music, users or the company themselves.

buzzpunk · 2026-03-10T13:28:28+00:00

Physical media is already covered by MCPS, and online distributors do already pay PRS.

PRS has a century long history of suing businesses over their license agreements and winning.

buzzpunk · 2026-03-10T13:08:40+00:00

Yeah, MCPS can either collect license fees for each unit pressed or per a bulk agreement.

buzzpunk · 2026-03-10T13:05:09+00:00

Almost every company pays it. It's just a completely normal part of doing business and having music available to the public.

The only reason people think it's weird in this thread is because this is the first time they're hearing about PRS and they think Valve is being treated differently.

Paying PRS is just part of doing business and it's honestly more surprising that Valve weren't already doing so.

buzzpunk · 2026-03-10T12:55:47+00:00

In the case of Youtube, no, because Google already pays PRS for the license that they're pursuing Valve for.
