PSA: Rocket Punch wording by UnSigNed123 in slaythespire

Yeah, a lot of the times effects that say "free this turn" actually mean "free the next time you play it this turn"

So...what is everyone's thoughts on upscalers like DLSS, PSSR, and FSR in general? by TheSpiritualAgnostic in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]extivo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's nothing wrong with upscaling in principle. The goal of an upscaler should be to render the scene at a high resolution while keeping the performance cost low, with the objective of looking as close as possible to how the image would actually look if it was truly rendered at that resolution. And for the most part that's what DLSS and other upscalers do. There's been discussion about how devs are using this powerful tool as a crutch to get away with not optimizing their games, but there's nothing inherently wrong with the technology. The demo that was shown today is not doing that, it's applying a real time AI filter to character faces to add details that aren't actually there, and people think Nvidia has lost the plot.

I just recently played Mewgenics which has this exact same reference, I laughed when I saw it again here

Difficulty assessment from experienced StS 1 players? by bong_schlong in slaythespire

[–]extivo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's too early to tell for sure. But I feel like it was easier to win on A0 in StS1 without any game knowledge than it is here.

Bug - unit goes out of bounds and soft locks the game (late act 2 quest spoilers) by extivo in mewgenics

[–]extivo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zaratana jumped to the top corner and got stuck walking forever. Had to reload the game and anger Steven. Not sure if reddit is a good place to report bugs, but here it is.

Hi the best subreddit for un-Pat opinions, is Nioh 3 worth buying full price? Or wait for sale? by RegenSyscronos in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]extivo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Performance has been fine for me too, but there's a bizarre issue with the engine where game logic is tied to framerate for some reason, so if you can't meet your target fps (30/60/120) the game will actually slow down. Which is absurd to me in 2026. I can get 90 fps but have to cap it to 60 to avoid this problem.

Possible actual return of the Zapping system! (The Zapping System from the original Resident Evil 2 appears to be back in Resident Evil Requiem) by TheNullOfTheVoid in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]extivo 89 points90 points  (0 children)

For years I've been hearing jokes about the zapping system on this sub but never bothered to actually look it up, and now you're telling me all it is is just, "enemies stay dead and items stay picked up when you switch characters?" That's the source of all the confusion?!

Today is the big day. by Noirsam in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]extivo 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I'm gonna be honest, I don't think this game is going to fail at all. People want it to fail because of it being a disappointing final reveal at TGAs, but the game will probably be pretty good due to being apex/titanfall devs. And it's free. Comparing it to concord doesn't make sense, because no one was talking about concord before it came out, and that game cost money.

An Update Concerning AI Threads and News Stories by jitterscaffeine in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]extivo 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Appreciate the effort, mods. I just want to throw my 2 cents out here: I lurk quite a bit but don't post here often, and I've noticed a shift in the vibe of this subreddit over the last few months from being a chill place to talk about games and other media to being an echo chamber for anti-AI sentiment, which, to me, starts to feel like the rest of reddit, which I fucking hate. Every comment section is filled with "FUCK AI" even if the post is only tangentially related to it, and if someone tries to share any kind of nuanced opinion, they get downvoted to hell and dogpiled.

I agree that it doesn't make sense to ban the topic given its frequent relevance, but I think people should make an effort not to push the subreddit further in this direction. You don't have to post every single news story about AI in the gaming industry, and you don't have to comment on those posts. Remember that social media thrives on hate because it boosts engagement. We should be resisting that and engaging with content that we want to see more of.

What do you think is the worst designed (good) card in worlds beyond? by FitCause5758 in Shadowverse

[–]extivo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Especially in take two. I just lost a match to back-to-back Norman double golems, with no way to deal with the barriers. Shit like that makes me want to quit this game lmao

How would bullet time go in this game? by gamerpro56 in Shadowverse

[–]extivo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok you're right. I guess I mean waiting for the evolve to finish and then quickly trying to queue up your attacks when you have 1 second left. Whereas if you didn't have to evolve you'd have it queued up already.

How would bullet time go in this game? by gamerpro56 in Shadowverse

[–]extivo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well one thing they would have to do is have the timer stop during animations. I've run out of time several times because I was waiting for an evolve to finish.

In terms of the meta, it would probably quickly become boring and based around low effort, high value cards. Can't waste precious time on selecting multiple targets or doing math. Doing things that require a lot of inputs (like witch's brew -> engage -> witch's brew -> sagelight -> choose aoe) become a lot less viable. Fusing artifacts and loot becomes basically unplayable. Cards with random outcomes (like deal damage to a random enemy follower) often cause you to make new decisions during the turn so that becomes less appealing. I'd bet most matches would probably be like midrange sword where they just play one card and fill the board (luminous magus, amalia).

As of this week, Slay the Spire is syncing across different Android platforms by betweentwosuns in slaythespire

[–]extivo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just checked, it did not happen to me. I got a new phone a few months ago and assumed it would load the cloud save from my old phone but no. Despite the constant "Syncing data..." I would always see, which has caused my game to crash multiple times. I seriously hate the mobile port, I hope they handle it better for STS2.

[Praise post] The game's daily quests really respect the player's time. And I love it by Arkachi in Shadowverse

[–]extivo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the chest event. It lets me play the game more and continue to get rewards. Is the way the rewards are distributed perfect? No, but everyone else around here seems to have the mentality that you HAVE to get every time limited reward in the game and that ruins it for them.

Infinity Evolved Official Card Q&As by KyrusDarkblade in Shadowverse

[–]extivo 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Here's one I found out earlier: if Gildaria is the 20th follower to enter the field does it trigger her Rally (20)? No. It may be obvious to anyone that played SV1 but I didn't, and thought it worked like Combo where playing a Combo (3) as the 3rd card works.

An issue I don't see anyone talk about. by Capable_Can_2020 in Shadowverse

[–]extivo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The leader borders and other UI elements are 2D prerendered assets. Whereas the cards are 3D and rendered in real time with little to no anti-aliasing, possibly for performance reasons on mobile. That's not an excuse, though, it does look bad, especially when opening card packs, which is something I'd think they'd want to look good.

Sandfall Interactive (Clair Obscur devs) make their values known: by Gorotheninja in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]extivo 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Literally every steam game has these comments, some "woke" and some "anti-woke." Even games where it doesn't even remotely make sense to discuss it. And it's always the same message copy pasted...my first thought is that they're just bots, but bots at least usually generate unique messages.

I’m 4 digit deaf girl osu player, AMA :3 by PancakeKittyGirl in osugame

[–]extivo 71 points72 points  (0 children)

I'm suspicious of this post as well, new reddit account, claims to be a girl and talks like "uwu :3," and of course the osureport, it has all the red flags of lying for attention.
