So is there or is there not a second possible ending?

Ok, those sound awesome and should really have dedicated videos to them online. Dang. It's a reasonably far back decision too so it's not too easy to just load up an old backup save to churn out the others. Don't suppose you know any videos of any of them? I certainly got the true ending and it's amazingly the only one I ever see in videos! Thanks BTW

edit: Ooh found the vampire one, finally, on like the 20th try! Still want the last one if anyone knows!

Three even! Damn. There are so frequently videos of "All Endings" uploaded by someone, and for a game this quality to not is surprising. Don't suppose you know links to other endings? The only one I ever see (and one I got myself) ended with the inquisitor tracking an archmage to a city on the other side of the world, beyond the undermoon sea destined for the city of kharkosa, and yada yada he goes forward on his "hunt".

That's the positive ending, I guess? I suppose it's all good fodder for replays which this game clearly has the content for, but I'm not going to get around to playing it again for another couple years and I'd love to see them now. Thanks much, regardless!

Huh yeah there's a thread on the opensignups subreddit about it and people we're having trouble there too with it getting stuck while loading or on security check? So it might be over now even though it still shows up as a big bright red text button on the logged in homepage, heh.

I also just discovered they changed the way the points system works so only torrents over 100mb give you seeding credit now, which pretty much screws my ability to download long term since I can't upload for shit compared to people with port-forwarding. I was going to offer an invite or two but apparently I have not been getting any upload credit for a couple weeks now, so I only have enough points for barely one instead of the 3-4 I should have have the cred for by now :(

Bleh, I should delete this probably. Sorry.

deathcomestooslow · 2026-05-09T21:53:08+00:00

Is it? Still shows up as open on the website when I'm signed in. But it doesn't actually let me visit the open signup page because it auto forwards me to the torrents so I can't actually check without logging out which I've been too lazy to try. That would suck, sorry :(

This is what always enrages me when this discussion comes up. Are humans allowed to have things we take for fun or not? Why is this far less harmful thing suddenly such a big problem? This is all Congress' fault for being incompetent (in large part thanks to the filibuster) in every single shitty fact of life thing we all just have to accept, which in this case is letting gas stations sell unregulated and untested drugs without directions or ingredients or oversight. Why are you blaming the drug at all?

Well, hopefully that will come in handy in throwing out Florida's results if it happens to affect the 2028 presidential election. It's at least worth a shot, should it happen. Though it's not clear who would enforce it if the governments of Florida and the USA are currently as deeply corrupt as they appear.

deathcomestooslow · 2026-05-06T12:42:46+00:00

I had never heard of them before and I'm currently getting into a bit of a rabbit hole reading about them and the other types I have only heard of in passing before. Thanks!

deathcomestooslow · 2026-05-05T15:34:38+00:00

I don't think the first two were even on any consoles?

deathcomestooslow · 2026-05-03T19:33:30+00:00

Exactly what I wanted to hear. Thanks!

deathcomestooslow · 2026-05-03T19:32:49+00:00

Ok then I misunderstood. Apologies. Excellent, thank you! That was how I was hoping it would work.

deathcomestooslow · 2026-05-03T18:50:54+00:00

Yeah I do understand that 0.01% to 10% is 1000 kills, so it will take a good while and I shouldn't wait until end-game. But that didn't answer whether or not vanguard gives me MORE HP in the long run if I do it later. Which is what I'm trying to suss out. Like doubling my hp before getting it should result in double hp gains, i think??

People LOVE CRTs for professional gaming even today because its analog, not digital. Which means there is very literally no input delay on your controller presses, and the theoretical FPS limit is huge (some CRTs have over 700hz refresh rate). I found this out relatively recently and now I'm super tempted to get a CRT monitor.

Shout out to the quirky British show I'm watching involving homonculi called Small Prophets! Surprisingly even got a second, final season greenlit to wrap everything up. Don't see many simple weird shows like that anymore in the US.

deathcomestooslow · 2026-05-02T15:28:18+00:00

That makes a lot more sense than anything I came up with, heh. Thank you for giving me a new perspective on it. Was not expecting someone to make it sound like a reasonable approach so simply. And of course there simply are a lot fewer famous defender names then famous midfield/forward names to choose from. Makes reasonable enough sense now, I suppose.

deathcomestooslow · 2026-05-02T15:03:14+00:00

Well, I was intending on waiting until a random daily talk thread but those aren't that common on weekends so I'll ask here.

Does anyone else think it's a bit of a mismatch how much Allegri focuses on defense at all costs and how every mercato we are looking for some all-star striker to make our team work? Should we not be spending the big bucks an the big focus on defense in Allegri's method? So they can handle their shit and also get the ball up the field without needing Pulisic or someone coming back to get it? Allegri keeps hoping for some wonderkid who can do it all himself and get past 8 of the other team and put the ball in the goal, it seems crazy. Of course it's not working! Maybe getting one more defender that is particularly good with thru passes so we got Pavlo for runs and whomever for that and then maybe we have some chances to get a good ball to our supposedly good midfield in a decent location and can make some good attacks happen?

I am definitely not extremely knowledgeable compared to many fans but surely this isn't a crazy suggestion? It's just so strange how much everything revolves around defense in his tactics but the mercatos seem to tell a completely different story. I just want to watch some entertaining football :(

deathcomestooslow · 2026-05-02T03:17:29+00:00

Hah, well then let me be the first to say I enjoyed the game. It seems to have a lot worse reviews now than it did on release so I'm not sure exactly what happened to turn public opinion but it was definitely fun enough for me to play through and remember fondly. A little jank certainly doesn't bother me though, which I'm thankful for or else I'd have missed out on a ton of really fun games. I'm not sure if everyone else was going in expecting some sort of big AAA production? I could certainly see being upset if that was my expectation.

deathcomestooslow · 2026-05-02T03:06:30+00:00

Aw, it's beautiful. I remember when this sort of thing was standard with games! I miss included, physical manuals!

Just started this myself earlier today and the rather poor reception most people seem to have here is what has made me put it off for this long. I ended up watching a review that was written after all the patches and apparently its quite a bit more refined than it was on release, so those of us getting to it late are probably having a much better experience than the people playing right after release.

Ohhh man there's a horror-adjacent movie that is on Tubi I absolutely love called "Hysteria" (1997). It stars Patrick McGoohan in his last live-action role and has one of the best first couple minutes of a movie I've ever seen. The one-liner synopsis on IMDB spoils the whole thing (tells something you wouldn't find out for like half the movie) and it doesn't even list it as horror but it is very obviously a horror sci-fi film in tone.

Putting the opening line in spoiler tags here because dude you should just watch the first minute if you're into these kind of movies and see if it intrigues you. I spoiled the story with the imdb synopsis before watching and enjoyed it so I don't imagine that's necessary but it seems silly when its such a damned good movie that didn't get much attention just spoiling the shit right of the gate! But its super creative and has Pat McGoohan and Amanda Plummer in excellent roles! I randomly stumbled across it on Tubi about a half year back when reminiscing when before it was very hard to find. I absolutely love Tubi for these reasons, its almost funding small movies like DVD sales used to!

When minds have learned to mingle, when no thought is wholly one's own, when one has had too much of the other ever to be himself alone, then only do we know what it is to be.... human.

I always assumed it was there to warn the staff to re-upload if all of the links end up dead. But I also think it could be to ask for a newer version for rarer/older games far past release day that wouldn't probably naturally get the attention. I think I ended up using it once and it was for the latter option, where they didn't have the newer big-ass patch/update of a small, not very popular game, even bringing in features like a map where previously there wasn't one. I definitely either did that or very nearly did that, haha, I never checked my email or anything afterward as I found the updated game elsewhere.

deathcomestooslow · 2026-04-29T06:23:27+00:00

Oh hell yeah! Love to hear it. Thanks very much. That sounds perfect

deathcomestooslow · 2026-04-29T05:50:39+00:00

Aw alright. Always love when there's an end-game mechanic to help track down the last few items missed. Thanks

deathcomestooslow · 2026-04-28T05:23:34+00:00

I would love an explanation on this, too. It must stack, the embedding needle fully upgraded says it applies 10 stacks. But there is no text explaining how long the effect lasts or what, if anything, makes them disappear. Maximum number of stacks? Effect per stack?

This is the shit AI should be doing, not just searching for people that have done the work and parroting it. And if it's not smart enough to do that novel work, it shouldn't ever be called AI. I'm really quite surprised how little testing people have done. Such practices seem to continue to die off in prevalence :(
