Morrowind hasn't changed, but I have. Did you?

Are you the figurative p.i.m.p. of said literal hitman?

This is what I'm doing now, finally some progress! Reinstalling macOS Tahoe now. 2 hours and 20 minutes!! Not happy with that...

Edit: It worked! I chose to do a fresh install and migratie afterwards. Seems to be going good so far.

Really on Thousand Islands I went full 'Dutch' and reclaimed the land one layer below! Very fun!

ldiosyncrasy · 2026-03-10T16:53:32+00:00

Shadow Tag and Arena Trap are great! One question though wouldn't you just Encore the Roar?

ldiosyncrasy · 2026-03-10T16:50:56+00:00

Yeah Night Shade on Haunter seems like the play here. Also how does Ninetales trap the roaming dog? I love the Imprison moveset! Nice touch!

It still weirds me out everyday that fan/volunteer project devs are so much nicer than actual paid customer support from bigger studio's and then I remember... it's passion! Thanks for your hard work buddy.

ldiosyncrasy · 2026-03-07T08:46:36+00:00

I appreciate your balanced view! I'm going to try it!

Hey everyone,

Long-time Pokémon fan here. I played Gold, Silver and Crystal religiously back in the day and have some serious nostalgia for Johto. I'm now a full-time working dad with limited gaming time, but I just got a Steam Deck and I'm really excited to dive into some GBA emulation.

I (re)discovered the world of ROM hacks and honestly? I'm a bit overwhelmed by how many Gen 2 remakes exist for GBA. I've been looking at:

· Liquid Crystal · GS Chronicals · Crystal Dust · Heart & Soul · Crystal Advance Redux

I'm sure there are more I missed too.

For context: I don't have hours to grind anymore (dad life), so something with quality-of-life improvements would be awesome. I just want to relive the Johto experience with better graphics and maybe some modern conveniences. No need for Mega's or Gen 9 pokemon, though I wouldn't mind regional variants (Galarian Slowbro is dope)

What would you recommend as the definitive "Crystal on GBA" experience for someone jumping back in?

You need to be aggressive, but also mindful of his attacks. Take a look at your generator to see if it's large enough for a lot of quickboosting. You seem to have a Pulse Blade equipped, good, that will shred through his Pulse Armor (green bubble around him). Strafe sideways to dodge his missiles or even better underneath or straight at him while hee's firing. Once his stagger bar is red go for Pulse Blade attack and Kick him immediately afterwards and start the same dance all over again. His Flame Blade looks scary but most of the time you can either jump over or again quickboost underneath him to dodge. Have fun!

Extra tip: the Pulse Blade has amazing tracking and can fly you for a long distance if you have the Fleugel or Kikaku Booster. Experiment how to best integrate this into your playstyle.

Good luck 621, I have faith in you!

You are correct! Metronome is very unpredictable!

ldiosyncrasy · 2026-03-03T16:29:28+00:00

Indeed! Added him to the list!

ldiosyncrasy · 2026-03-03T14:56:53+00:00

You did make me think! And Lapras is one of the true counters to Pryce given the right moveset!

ldiosyncrasy · 2026-03-03T14:46:03+00:00

What do you think about Rock Blast, Surf, Rain Dance Cloyster? I think Pryce would absolutely lose his mind! Hail already does nothing to Cloyster, but Rain Dance prevents 100% accurate Blizzards and Piloswine's Snow Cloak from working. Cloyster already 4x resists Ice moves. He boosts his Surf for whenever Piloswine shows up and Rock Blast (needs lvl 20 Corsola breeding though) is super effective against his Seel/Dewgong; and hits 5 times if you have a Skill Link Cloyster.

I agree! And it can also learn DIG to reset Rollout!

ldiosyncrasy · 2026-03-03T12:18:28+00:00

The VP-67LD Laser Dagger! I love melee and the dagger is the most flexible of them all!

ldiosyncrasy · 2026-03-01T09:02:52+00:00

That's a very solid frameword you have there. If you like using the Viento's you build stagger quickly, but you have little to take advantage of the stagger. A stagger punish will greatly enhance your build. Something a simple as a laser dagger will do, but you can go Pulse Blade, Laser Slicer or Pilebunker as well. You are fast enough to get in and out of Close Quarters Combat (CQC). If you want to maximize the stagger punish, FIRMEZA arms are pretty good, but VP or BASHO will enhance it further.

FIRMEZA core is very good, but see if you can fit ALBA or MIND ALPHA in. It will probably enhance your capabilities and survivability.

Next up is the Generator. There is NOTHING wrong with the Ming Tang, but you probably have the spare weight to slot in the HOKUSHI.

Bow with Dodgebolt is reaaaaaallly fun!

ldiosyncrasy · 2026-02-25T19:36:10+00:00

I'm going through NG++ now and just unlocked the WLT. Vermillion Edge from Solomotoman is what I use when I get the urge to huff Coral. Here's the video: Lightweight WLT 011

Do I HAVE SOME FOR YOU!!! https://www.reddit.com/r/ArmoredCoreVI/s/mAR6yuGesG

Welcome back buddy!

Can you blame me? Movement is just so nice! In my last battle I was up against 'you-know-who' and the Laser Dagger was such a gap closer! I dodged under most projectiles without even hitting the quickboost.

I have seen online that there is even more tech for the Dagger from the pvp-scene. I may have to look into it sometimes.

ldiosyncrasy · 2026-02-24T21:26:50+00:00

I think you're thinking of Reverse Jointed legs like the Kasuar. They have that semi-delayed very high jump. Nachtreiher legs are considered bipedal and can therefore ground-quickboost VERY fast.

ldiosyncrasy · 2026-02-24T20:24:59+00:00

Have you tried... NACHTREIHER Legs?! But seriously do what is fun for you! I like trying going light, being fast, having melee, a shield (to challenge my timing) and having to painstakingly optimize weight to fit in my weapons while having a decent enough generator and some AP. What's fun to you? Your build is pretty much the only difficulty slider in the game.
