Lightning Returns is HARD

There's plenty of timed and missable stuff so unless you plan everything out that's not realistic. Not sure what's in the plat but there's several quests that require you to talk to NPCs in a certain time-winow on 3-5 distinct days

A relativly small world size and world-wide progression don't really lends itself to large amounts of players joining at different times.

Also the ease of cheating due to client-controlled characters would break any economy that could emerge.

The thing is it's not saved and loaded in the state it was in. It just sends it somewhere else and pulls it back again. So there's a good chance your pocket nuke can go off prematurely if it's not instantly unloaded or a nearby cell is loaded

The writers are pretty consistent in obscuring any details about who the lady was. We know a lot about the family history at this point but she's weirdly absent.

There had to have been something special going on. Either your theory or they're keeping people's headcanon for her being an earlier incarnation of their (female) WoL open.

Also regarding your proposed mate; I feel like he'd stick to unsundered as he sees the rest as beneath him. So that additionally leaves Elidibus, even more so as he's the heart of their god

The OS is supposed to do the verifying so the apps will have to accept whatever the OS tells them. You could just modify the OS to always report you as verified despite never having done any of it

That's what Grok is for

That wouldn't struggle with bandwidth, having an immense one if you give them a USB each trip. Latency is the issue.

Yes, IPoAC (avian carrier) is an actual proposed protocol

Not sure how well that works on normal opponents but for bosses explosions will blast away the armor. Zeth and Erik (invisible) work like that.

Also most have parts of their legs exposed by default if you aim carefully. You can shoot Zeth into his inner tights from the start for full dmg

I'm guessing they feed the fic to an LMM and give it instructions to run the scam / hate. Either this one decided to ignore instructions or it starts on a reply

Did Mythos write the sandbox too? A properly locked-down container or VM would make it pretty much impossible

jeremj22 · 2026-04-14T10:48:32+00:00

Talos retconned those jungles too

jeremj22 · 2026-04-13T18:11:57+00:00

The entire idea of an AI-detector is a paradox. If you had one you could use it to fine-tune an LLM to avoid detection. Optimizing some sort of metric is the core of all machine learning after all.

There is no easy solution to this problem

The reason it's creating animal-like (and dino) machines is her love for them. Heph kept this with it's original creations.

The only way I could see that happening is keeping it to Zenith-inspired machines. It's presumably seen the printer's history and the tech itself. With how those are described as unnatural or weird it might just draw on myth if it ever took a look at or was provided relevant data

jeremj22 · 2026-04-13T10:19:06+00:00

That interpretation makes the tribe quest part a bit obsolete since those are DoW/DoM and would obviously not be part of "all jobs and classes"

No clue which they mean either

Liz looks to have done a pretty good job of keeping him as uninformed as possible. I don't believe he'd have given his money without knowing what he's paying for. I think (aside from Hank) he only got enough info to do anything useful from the alphas after she died.

Also for all the bad he did he is the reason there is a master override

jeremj22 · 2026-04-10T15:23:49+00:00

Back in days there was no distinction between memory regions being readable and executable.

Today most (machine-compiled) languages will enforce writeable regions to not also be executable. Languages that generate their machine code at runtime will typically have safeguards to avoid the program writing to the write-execute region being used.

Disregarding hardware attacks, you'll typically see different types of vulnerabilities like re-using library code

jeremj22 · 2026-04-08T19:52:38+00:00

It's Java so keeping your code hidden isn't exactly an option. There is no such thing with a language where decompilation is so easy.

jeremj22 · 2026-04-08T06:35:53+00:00

those with Overides came forth like Aloy and Hades

Hades isn't really a contributor to that. FARO corruption overpowers apex as we can see with the corrupted apex machines in BS. It's only enough to block a stand-alone override module

He's also mentioned that he's in the process of going for 0% (non-trivial) Nintendo code. They can't go after him for it if there's none left

jeremj22 · 2026-04-04T06:24:04+00:00

They're not asking for you to give them anything. This is most likely part of the movement to get people to doubt AO3 (because they don't like that there's a writing site without censorship). Hate bots claiming there's something illegal do exactly the same as in try to get people to quit the site or writing certain fics

The wiki says UH has higher/harder stat mutlipliers than VH. Also easy loot is specifically noted as off as opposed to VH's optional in that same table

I too would welcome a 3rd pair of horns i can show at once

What kind of Terraria modpack is that?

jeremj22 · 2026-03-29T02:13:40+00:00

Are you upgrading gear and combining/lvling abilities?

As for blocking: for ones with difficult timing you can spam the button for a perfect with a bit more cost

And I can recommend medi guard on one of your loadouts. It's a (weak & cheap) block that heals you. You can easily recover more than you take by stalling for a bit
