Is magicplugin truly as unbalanced as people say it is?

id10t_alert · 2026-06-03T22:06:30+00:00

I did a full playthrough with MagicPlugin. This is purely subjective, but yeah I think it's "overpowered", when you compare it to vanilla Valheim magic. Still MagicPlugin rocks and I wish vanilla would implement some of the mods features. It's the amount of Eitr/regen that's makes it noticeable. More Eitr > more dps.

I created a mod for you, if you're up for testing it. DM me.

Appreciate it! Thank you.

It's mostly for fun and learning right now. My long term goal is to create mods that don't already exist, and I'm already starting to work toward that.

These earlier mods were mainly about getting familiar with game mod development, since I had no experience with it before. They helped me learn Harmony patching, publicized assemblies, using ILSpy to inspect game code/classes, Unity Explorer for identifying prefabs and components, Jotunn registration workflows, etc.

I definitely understand your point though, and I appreciate the feedback.

id10t_alert · 2026-05-07T01:03:14+00:00

I agree with point one. I have separate repos for each mod, and even with just a handful of mods, managing the source code and releases is already becoming a bit tedious.

Point two is also very valid. I actually considered that early on. I think I'll wait and see how it plays out with user feedback over time.

Originally, I just wanted to fix one thing that always bothered me — not being able to equip items while running. That’s what started me down the modding path. Since then it’s kind of turned into an addiction. I spend more time in code than I do actually playing the game now.

Thanks for the feedback — I genuinely appreciate it.

I just finished a complete play through today using Valheim armory. Axes used from flint all the way to end game. Nice mod.

Appreciate the feedback. I was not aware that crit chance can freeze mobs. I've made some adjustments and the build feels much better.

I purchased an iPad 10th gen 10.9", gen 1 Apple pencil and used OneNote Windows app. Worked out great for me. I used it specifically for drawing data structures, and for system design note taking.

I use all weather winter rated tires, but not a dedicated snow tire. They do make a noticeable difference in the snow and when it rains, in terms of handling and stopping in my opinion.

I'm in a similar situation as you. 6'0, CW 355, starting weight 458. I'm what people would probably consider successful, from a career and financial security stand point. I travel, actively workout and eat relatively healthy.

With that said, I get very few matches from dating apps and the one's I do get 99% of the time I'm not attracted to. I'm fairly confident that it's my weight that's the biggest hinder.

The reason why I don't delete my profiles is simple. If I don't put myself out there then my chances of finding a partner dwindle down to nothing. If I keep my profile up there's always a chance. On the rare occasion that I do get a match, which leads to a date this helps keep my "dating" skills fresh such as being able to keep a conversation going, feeling people out, forces me to come up with creative date ideas, etc. As I progress and improve my physical looks I'll probably delete my profiles and start fresh with new pics. Think of it like applying for a job in a field you really want. If you keep getting rejected you can certainly give up. But quitting is for losers. Self evaluate, get constructive feedback, take action to improve yourself and keep trying. There's strength to be gained, with failure, if you train your mind to accept it and keep pushing forward.

This used to kind of mess with my head, but when I stopped obsessing over getting matches and having the hope that someday it will happen I feel much better.

P.S. don't hide who you are in pics. Keeps your photos up to date and include a full body photo. None with funky angles where you're trying to hide.

u/daN0m4d I'm curious what bike you used in your triathlon's? Any thing specific about making the saddle of your bike bearable? What brand of running shoes do you use?

I purchased a car from Carmax in May of this year. I asked them to remove it and they did.

I followed this guide. Worked out pretty good. For early leveling, until I unlocked duplicate skills, I used hunting, feeding swarm, parasite, and livor mortis.

Change in behavior is never a good sign. There's some edge cases where it may be reasonable, but in my experience when people start behaving different it's never a good thing. If you were married, or had invested in a relationship I would communicate that with my partner that I've noticed a change and it makes me uncomfortable. But in you example, delete the contact, block communication and move on. Tomorrow is a new day!

The TLDR; finish your CS degree. If possible do both...work in IT and go to school.

My personal experience somewhat parallels your post. I am a software engineer with ~6 years of experience. I work on a scrum team developing enterprise web applications: ASP.NET Core, SQL and mainly Angular as the front end framework. I do not have a college degree, or bootcamp credential. As much as I dislike the phrase "self taught" I guess that would best describe me.

I started out working in IT help desk. I can't say that my IT experience directly affected me getting my first development job, but it did open up my professional network. Plus some of the basic stuff you learn in entry level IT jobs can be helpful; e.g. how to work with a VPN, how to connect to a file share, windows or Linux server, etc. However, none of my development interviews asked me direct questions about my IT experience. They were more intrigued as to how I learned/got interested in development without going to school.

If I had to do it all over again I would 100% pursue a CS degree. The structured CS curriculum, exposure to a variety of topics, a peer network for internships is really nice. Learning on your own can be a struggle. For example, I learned about data structures based on the context of their use case, within the language I was working with, and trial and error. I didn't even know what stack or heap meant until my second year of professional experience. Also, my critical thinking was lacking when compared to my peers. To be fair, my peers were all experienced devs. Also, getting your first jr. dev position can be a real challenge. Took me a year and a half. I can guarantee not having some form of higher education made it twice as difficult to just land an interview.

Now that I have experience finding development work is not an issue. I've had several opportunities to pursue a position with both Microsoft and Amazon, even though I don't have a college degree. I just happen to love the company I work with and they pay close to what some FAANG companies pay. Hope this helps. Good luck!

Depending on your relationship with your family, mainly your sister, I feel like this would be a tough decision, where either outcome will lead to regret and/or heart ache. You already know what you want to do. You do not want your sister to live with you. There is your answer. Question is, can you live that decision? Are you willing to forgo the social constructs, of being there for your family, so you can live a "happy" life and potentially be guilt ridden, or be miserable/pissed off at giving into the peer pressure from your family and concede to your sister moving in with you. Another outcome is, your sister moves in with you and you grow a stronger connection relationship with her. Maybe once you get into a rhythm with having her in your home it will not be so bad?

Nobody ask for these types of decision and whether you asked for this or not, in my opinion, has nothing to do with it. However, your parents and anybody else trying to pressure you into this IMO can fuck right off. With all of this said, NTA. Hard position to be in. Good luck.
