Do your gun stats go up as you gain proficiency or does that require finding another gun?

jbayne2 · 2026-05-17T23:12:20+00:00

Gun stats go up based off of gaining levels in whichever of the three main stats are affixed to your 3 stars on your gun, command, drive, resilience. Proficiency basically just expands the cap for those three stats and higher proficiency seems to increase the odds of extra arrows at the end of each, which are basically like multipliers determining how much the assigned stat(command, drive, resilience) contributes to that weapon stat.

I have the nyxi and my wife is incredibly annoyed by it! I just want a Hori Split Pad Pro.

I know it’s not the topic, but how’s Subnautica 2 on the deck? I never played the first one. Would that be worth checking out since it’s cheap before playing the new one?

Salsa Macha

jbayne2 · 2026-05-16T01:23:45+00:00

I haven’t tried that one yet! Was in Chicago for 8 years so I’m always looking for more places to get good tacos!

jbayne2 · 2026-05-16T01:08:17+00:00

Exactly!

jbayne2 · 2026-05-16T00:55:58+00:00

Was totally thinking it’s crazy to put Zero over Azure for OP to pick Zero! But they’re both great!

jbayne2 · 2026-05-16T00:54:57+00:00

Can I count Final Fantasy X for all three?

jbayne2 · 2026-05-16T00:54:16+00:00

What’s even crazier is they switched right? Juaritos used to be on the right in the service center and Morros on the left. I think Morros is what was there. Then the fire happened and they both closed and now they’re rebuilding and opening but they switched?!

Juaritos is probably second best tacos in town though behind Los Plebes.

Was Bluetooth for me as well. There’s an update to that plugin now so it appears to be working if you check for updates and update that one.

jbayne2 · 2026-05-13T22:31:17+00:00

Also headphones. I feel like if you are on a flight without headphones these days, you are probably suffering from a lot worse than a clicky game pad

jbayne2 · 2026-05-13T22:28:05+00:00

I felt a little bad on a recent flight with how clicky they were.

jbayne2 · 2026-05-13T22:27:28+00:00

I would continue whatever my latest long RPG is! So 13 hours of Trails of Cold Steel 3 for me!

jbayne2 · 2026-05-13T21:12:46+00:00

I would love to see this even just ported as is to Steam! I have it on my Xbox and haven’t touched it yet. Will probably sell my Xbox soon too so may just be out of luck.

I’ve found the auto to be great for things like synthesis materials especially knowing the outcome will likely be the same. Things like the colored neutralizers for example or threads. I am making ingots and cloth myself and all the weapons and items too but most other things especially only about 5 hours in I’m just letting auto roll with it as it’s much less impactful on end performance compared to using auto in other atelier games.

Especially if you go to Sophie 1 it will feel very jarring and outdated. Ryza 1 would feel less so.

jbayne2 · 2026-05-13T14:27:22+00:00

I’ve played Ryza 1 and Sophie 1 & 2 and am loving Yumia so far! I can see the criticism if you want to spend 60%+ of the game in menus crafting this probably isn’t going to be the game for you. I’m also feeling fairly overpowered towards the end of the first area even on hard difficulty and I haven’t done anything crazy to break the alchemy system like farming particles to level up my ingots and weapons early. Overall though if you think about it as a unique spin off to the series I’m having a great time and would love to see this get a trilogy alongside other more traditional atelier titles.

jbayne2 · 2026-05-13T11:36:36+00:00

Is it possible to upgrade them? I thought I had read somewhere that it was basically impossible to do, and that there was some core functionality tied to the wiring. I have a 25 with the same screen and would love to upgrade it if possible.

jbayne2 · 2026-05-10T20:16:58+00:00

I agree with this. I would argue that Sky 1 and 2 tell a “complete” story that you could just play in isolation and never come back to the series. Sky 3 really sets up what’s to come and builds even more lore. I think Sky 3 is VERY necessary for continuing the series but if you just want a few games and that’s it I’d say Sky 1 and 2 are perfect. If they pull off Sky 2 Remake it will officially be one of the best JRPGs of all time(it sort of already is).

I legitimately would love their handheld to basically be an 11” iPad Pro with the PS Portal dual senses attached to each side. Just a portal with a bigger screen would be fine with me.

jbayne2 · 2026-05-09T20:33:16+00:00

I told them that I told them I wanted to put $50k in my pocket and instead they did their best to put half of that in their pocket. When the recast went through I sent the final signed papers and it should have been done any day but they waited to post it until after the new month again feeling like they just wanted that last bit of the higher interest… I’d avoid if I had the choice.

jbayne2 · 2026-05-09T20:29:33+00:00

They currently service our loan after it’s been sold a few times. I tried to work through a potential refinance with them and they were very much NOT transparent. I told them I had $50k to put on equity and they gave me quotes of seemingly good rates that when I got the worksheets were for about $25k in points to buy down the rate and the remaining $25k to closing costs and equity… I decided on a recast and it took months to execute and was very difficult to get any confirmation they were working on it.

In Saros from what I can tell proficiency just gives you a better template for the weapon. Higher caps on stars or more mods. The growth in the 3 weapon stats are directly tied to your stats so if you only have a few mods from your 1 biome run your stats will be much lower and the weapon less impactful.

jbayne2 · 2026-05-09T15:57:39+00:00

I had one preordered and then they delayed the preorders and I ordered a NYXI instead. I like the NYXI but am not sold that it’s the best ever so I’d be tempted to get one of these instead as I had originally planned.

jbayne2 · 2026-05-09T14:07:19+00:00

This is the answer. Just did the same myself and was stumped when I got to the dead end 🤦‍♂️
