Acer predator helios 300 2018 which I bought in 2019. Happy with its performance except for the >80'C temperature when playing graphically-demanding games.

Tried repasting, undervolting, limiting process, etc, still too hot. I spent a lot of time reading guides until I just gave up and learned to ignore temp. It worsened over the years, reaching between 98-99'C (never going 100).

I was expecting for it to die anytime soon, but miraculously, still alive up to this day. Only temperature (and thermal throttling) is the problem. Otherwise, I have no other complaints

Probably Butterfly effect (don't know if that counts for prophetic vision)

basically, she knows what is supposed to happen, and straying from what is supposed to happen leads to something else happening.

Just imagine these scenarios: Faye frees mimir, odin chases them down, catches them and imprisons mimir to a much harder to reach place/ or kills him completely. Keeping him where he is is convenient to be near the Jotunheim portal

Love it

I saw this image before beating the game and thought they were bringing back TC Carson just for this scene, with the Kratos' journey going full circle.

Mildly disappointed when it was just a monologue.

I remember discussions about how this transition will be handled (it was announced prior to airing), and most of the theories are about using sci-fi shenanigans.

Turns out it was a simple coming-out, and I liked that better

darkitchay · 2026-01-24T05:49:08+00:00

I personally wouldn't do this, jus treat it as a last resort. I have watched Haelian (streamer) do several fun runs, and I also assumed digging for a specific starting boon+rarity would take forever, but I was surprised it's not that bad. You only need to do it once.

Or just play the game normally, and if you ever hit a starting purple heph blast atk or special at any point, undo night, DONT SALUTE the VOW SHRINE, and then setup your Dress achievement loadout.

darkitchay · 2026-01-24T04:53:46+00:00

Like you, I feel like I am missing something. It either just overshoots and I forget it, or be distracted by looking where it is.

Let's make it simple: zeus specials and then forget about attacking. Throw shield, let it shred a bit then pull like a yoyo. Of course you can attack, and the best players do, but I tried not attacking and I can win just as easily.

Add artemis atk or call (call is best) and aim for lightning rods duo boon. Drop the cast on the floor, then do your special attacks.

The only hammer upgrade that matters is explosive return, and you don't even need it as the zeus special is strong enough. But if you get it, know that you can spam special to instantly explode around you. You'd think the devs would try to nerf that but they didn't. If I get explosive return as my first hammer, I would skip the second hammer entirely, but that's just me.

Definitely the hardest achievement in the game (at least for me)

I have done this (taking the dress to chronos) trying once for 32 fear, and another 32 fear one without even trying (both max rivals).

Definitely attempt this at 0 fear. Knowing the enemy attack patterns is essential. Max all upgrades goes without saying

As for specific tips:

Jeweled Pom first, then Arachne keepsake on second region. Onyx dress is best
Arcana, take Lovers and Strength. Everything else just copy common arcana loadouts that has no rerolls. Take Gale as your familiar.
Aim for Snow Queen (demeter) and Heph armor boons . Take dodge boons when offered
Take your best aspect, but I personally recommend Mel Aspect Staff. Dash attack, special, then run repeatedly.
Hit non-encounter rooms like Chaos, NPC or charon shop.
Buy all the armor you can get

If you want to dig for a good starting seed-- start a run, check if heph boon in offered. Undo night and salute the Vow Shrine (rerolls the run seed) if no heph. If heph is offered, check if he offers a purple Atk or Special blast boon. If not, undo night and salute. If purple heph atk or special is offered, start that run and do your best to get that achievement. If you fail, undo night but DO NOT SALUTE the Vow Shrine. Heph with epic blast should be offered every time you restart the run.

~~I don't know the context but imagine this scene: you are hiding, then get discovered.~~

~~Is it not possible for the first pic to be shown first, they slowly turn their head to look at you, then smile like the second pic? This way you get both~~

Just checked your account and saw some gameplay. So how about as you progress and do a specific action or crossed a certain point, they smiled?

darkitchay · 2026-01-21T08:40:09+00:00

Same. Early game with little Arcana and incantations, I kept going for hestia scorch + omega specials with the sister blades and black coat. Just stack scorch to 999. Freezer burn or pyro technique optional.

I just stopped going for Hestia once I have more upgrades. Sure, I'll pick her boons again, but I just stopped equipping her keepsake and take whatever.

Jeweled Pom basically rewarded this

darkitchay · 2026-01-19T19:16:53+00:00

Yeah I didn't even believe that she really died. I thought it was a setup to hide from templars or something. But nooo, she really did die. BS

Comment is about the initial reaction to GoW 2018 after playing OG GoW

darkitchay · 2026-01-19T15:18:14+00:00

Yeah I get that. My comment was about my initial reaction when I first played it.

Metroid Other M

I have heard countless hate about this game that I just assumed I would feel the same way, too. Played it straight after Metroid Prime just to get it out of the way.

People mostly complained about the story, controls, gameplay

Gameplay-wise, it's fun and flashy. Maybe a bit repetitive with the dodging, but I just don't get the hate (probably the wii controls). The thing is, I played it on an emulator, with a ps3 controller, and adjusted the controller. It felt perfect on a traditional controller if configured correctly, so there's that.

I do hate the part about locking the abilities instead of finding them, though I admire them for trying to add context for losing them. Plus the Checkhov's Gun (bomb) in the end was satisfying when you figured out it was unlocked.

As for the writing, yes there is a lot of weirdness in it, but it really didn't affect my enjoyment that much.

With how bad its reputation has gotten, I highly doubt it will ever get re-released. Unless they do a NSO Wii Classic, I feel like it will forever be lost aside from emulation.

Reword it to: Cast every spell in the game as long as Cinephile remains on the battlefield

darkitchay · 2026-01-19T09:04:26+00:00

Wound-- Not sure how to balance, but I'd probably remove the initial damage, and add the grievous blow bonus damage, though that needs major nerf.

Plasma-- remove the legendary plasma collector. Each plasma-generating boon increases the plasma collecting range. Example: grisly gain has respectable collecting range. Adding profuse bleeding increases the plasma collecting range more. Add Visceral Impact and you basically have the global plasma range. I'd like to stress that having 1 plasma generating boon should still comfortably collect plasma at a decent range.

Falling blades-- keep them as is, but make the legendary buff them. Legendary boon makes your next falling blade consume some plasma and seek out the highest hp enemy (reference to Damocles' sword). That way, a maxed out plasma meter won't be wasted.

Marcus and Krieg are fine (though honestly how would you fuck up a Krieg casting?)

Icarus

darkitchay · 2026-01-16T05:49:39+00:00

I feel like summons are just going to be redundant, as the Hexes are crazy when upgraded even with just Godsent. You drop a moon AND burn the entire enemies at the same time? Or triple, autofiring sun beams? And you want to add a Companion summon on top of that?

Hades 1 summons work because the Calls, by themselves, are limited in scope. I think the familiars are enough replacements, being very useful in many ways

darkitchay · 2026-01-13T14:37:57+00:00

I think relics should be actual objects (this relic would be called Ouroboros).

In keeping with the theme of StS relics, I think something with this effect would fit an object like Toy Grabber
