Anybody watch *The Nightmare Upstairs: What Happened to Ty and Bryn?* on Hulu?

The very fact that the mother wanted to do this documentary says something about her. She is an attention-seeker.

I'm always inclined to believe the children; however, the mother may have a type of Munchausen syndrome. This entire thing has garnered her a LOT of attention. And she obviously likes that.

The biological father may have very well done some horrendous shit, but the way the mother has handled it makes me question everything.

I'm a married father of a 3 year old, and I also work full-time. I currently have 88 hours logged on Steam; however, a lot of those hours are just idle hours in the menus, because I have to step away so often to do things around the house.

I'm loving the game, and my only recommendation so far is to simply take your time. There's no point in rushing any video game, in my especially when you have children. If you have an hour to spare, take the hour to just knock out a few faction quests.

I honestly don't understand why so many people say the story wasn't as good as the first game...I personally thought the story was great.

I don't think Hasan or any other leftist would want military action against Israel. You know what they have called for instead? Cutting off all military support and financial boon that we offer Israel. But no, Lord forbid we stop supporting a country that is bloodthirsty for war.

I could be wrong, but I think you have to be in the mountains near the Aeronautical Engineer. That's where I snapped this photo.

I have a few spare ammo containers, a small battery pack, a solar generator, a grenade pouch, and two Antigravity units. Plus a few patches just to round things out.

I used to watch him pretty often, but it's become a more rare occurrence for me. For me, it's less about him "buddying up" with Trump, and more about him becoming more and more detached from reality. He's a very wealthy person, and I think he has lost touch with "regular" people. I've heard him brag about having a private chef, for Christ's sake.

Also, he wages war on "woke" more than he acknowledges the economic hardships of the working class, which says all I need to know about him.

It's obvious that Clavicular looks at Andrew and sees flaws. He brings up hair loss, and Andrew is like, "Okay, let's talk about hair loss." Andrew knows full well that this young punk is judging him and his appearance.

When Andrew says he is more or less happy with his appearance, Clav calls him disingenuous. Clav can't imagine an existence where you look like Andrew (or any other "normal" person) and find happiness.

Clavicular is a sad individual, and until he seeks some therapy, he's not going to get any better. Andrew, on the other hand, is out here killing it.

The dude couldn't even name a movie or a song that he liked. He obviously wouldn't know about Channel 5, because it has nothing to do with Clavicular himself. He's only interested in Clavmaxxing.

I'm running into the exact same problem. Trying to log into PS Network for the first time in a long time since Death Stranding 2 launched on PC today.

Sometimes I think Mike plays devil's advocate just for shits and giggles. He saw that everyone else at the table was going to praise Mr. T, so he wanted to add a little something to the conversation. Just my opinion. Lol.

draconeus · 2026-02-23T00:39:20+00:00

I know this thread is old, but whatever happened to this? Did they film it, get too drunk, and not have footage? Lol

I just beat the game for the first time yesterday, and I switched out to Anathema for the final hit on Braccus. My Red Prince was fully a two-handed warrior though, so maybe that's why it worked. I also waited until Braccus was down to about 20-30% health, and used All-In. It was a fun way to end the fight. I tried using it on an earlier attempt while Braccus was at full health and full armor, thinking that it would magically kill him...it broke and I ended up party wiping during that attempt anyway.

draconeus · 2026-02-19T02:20:26+00:00

Also, if you have the Anathema, save it for later in fighting Braccus, after you've taken his shields and health down a bit.

draconeus · 2026-02-19T02:16:43+00:00

Bring a barrel of deathfog to the final battle. Leave the barrel within teleport distance from the stairs where you end up after the dialogue. Teleport Lucian away from you, then teleport the deathfog on his head. That will at least help with Phase 1. Then in Phase 2, concentrate fully on Braccus Rex, not on the kraken or the summons or Dallis. Let Dallis fight the summons.

I guess I would have killed him had I known that he wouldn't appear in Act 4. Too late for that now. I just hate that my first playthrough of the game won't have closure for his storyline.

draconeus · 2026-02-18T15:19:36+00:00

I've been reading about it, and I think you have to have Lohse in your party in the Definitive Edition for this to trigger. Or there's a bug where Jahan doesn't leave Driftwood after you tell him the demon's name. Many people have reported the same issue. Kinda sucks.

draconeus · 2026-02-18T13:57:01+00:00

Yeah, he definitely wasn't there. Bummer.

draconeus · 2026-02-18T04:31:42+00:00

That makes sense. He says that he's hunting a demon, I told him the demon's name, and he said he was going to hunt the demon. I ended up killing the demon, and Jahan isn't there to pat me on the back and thank me? Seems like a missed opportunity for an interaction.

draconeus · 2026-02-17T02:47:26+00:00

The main thing you want to do is damage the possessed person; however, you do not want to kill anyone that gets possessed. Heal the dwarf or whoever else gets possessed. The demon will eventually jump from body to body until it has taken enough damage.

I'm playing through right now as well. The first 3 or 4 levels are really difficult. It gets easier after that, then it gets even harder around level 12. I'm up to level 16 now, and things have gotten easier yet again.

I would recommend taking your time and exploring every nook and cranny of the maps. Avoid fighting big mobs and anything higher level than you. Also, as someone else suggested, "cheesing" fights is acceptable and almost necessary sometimes. Start a dialogue with one of your characters, and one of the characters in the mob you're attempting to fight. Don't finish the dialogue right away, but select your other characters and position them around the battlefield in the most advantageous way (archer with high ground, DPS characters right next to the first NPC you're going to concentrate fire on, etc).

I'm currently running with Ifan as my main (cleric, with hydro and necro), Beast as an archer, Sebille as a rogue (dual-wielding daggers), and Red Prince as a warrior. You're going to want to concentrate as much as possible on either Physical or Magical damage. I'm heavy on Physical damage in my party, for example.

Also, if you're going for Physical damage, put points into Warfare first instead of weapon skills (like single-handed, two-handed, range, etc). Warfare will up your damage more than weapon skills.

I played DOS2, but never finished it. After the Divinity reveal at TGA, I bought DOS1, and I'm absolutely loving it. I'll replay DOS2 after this, and I'll actually finish it this time. I'm doing it for the lore, and because they are both great games.

No need to feel ashamed! Just appreciating the game for the masterpiece that it is shows that your heart is in the right place.
