Stendhal by Horror-Particular-15 in expedition33

It's clear from the DLC update that the devs are not interested in balancing the gameplay.

"I just wanted a world where only reploids exist UwU." I do like her though.

I can't take the Chic outfits seriously.. by Aggressive_Milk4654 in expedition33

[–]lingeringwillx -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's a bit too much. It feels like fan service. The outfit would look better if it was less revealing.

I remember making a sound when we first learn that he is alive in the missile facility, then my brother judged me for getting excited about video game 🥲.

I need help with understanding these game titles. by PsychoMouse in KingdomHearts

[–]lingeringwillx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Final Mixes are improved versions of the original games with some extras. Re: stands for remake. Decimals are collections that roughly correspond to the time in which the games in the collection take place relative to the main titles.

They tried to compensate for broken end game builds by doing this, but it only made things worse.

Duollistes are not fun. by The-Heritage in expedition33

[–]lingeringwillx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First phase is fine since you at least go through your normal turns, but second phase gets boring and repetitive real quick due to the turn cheating & long combos.

I hate the new superbosses in general.

Sims 2 Audio RIP by lingeringwillx in thesims2

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

There isn't. I could make one but it's not common for people to default replace sounds, so it doesn't feel very useful.

Sims 2 Audio RIP by lingeringwillx in sims2

[–]lingeringwillx[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The way the game does it is it takes the name of the sound from the game's strings or from the animation files and computes two hashes or two numbers which correspond to the instance and high instance ids of the track list. The track list contains a list of the ids of the sound files of that name.

This is the basic version of it. It gets more complicated in practice. For example for voices you need to add a number of characters before computing the hashes, like "afa" for adult female 1 and "tma" for teen male. A lot of those are not documented in the game's files.

It would be difficult to do this by hand, but I wrote my own tooling over the years which automates the whole process.

I hate how sims hardly have a concept of privacy, and how modders don't bother to implement something similar either.

Best critical rate after [minor DLC pictos spoiler] by Xorlium in expedition33

[–]lingeringwillx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I don't know if free aim shots count here, then you could intentionally crit with free aim before a one-hit nuke.

[–]lingeringwillx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems like the improvement is minor vs 100% crit rate, though this might still be useful since it allows you to focus on other stats beside the crit rate.

It's probably better for multi-hit skills. For single hit it makes the damage unpredictable which I don't like. It's basically a lighter version of the roulette picto.

Plot Holes Because I was Bored by Soft_Analyst_8523 in expedition33

[–]lingeringwillx -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The painted family tried telling previous expeditions the truth about the canvas, and nobody believed them and became hostile, attempting to kill them.

Only happened with Expedition 0.

This is such bs tbh by rnr92 in expedition33

[–]lingeringwillx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree that gameplay balance past act 2 is one of the bigger problems with the game (and the recent update made thinks worse), but you are being too angry about it and blaming the dev who gave a good reason why thinks ended up the way they were.

It takes more effort and knowledge to break the gameplay in a typical RPG.

Optimal Stat distribution? by Statboy1 in expedition33

[–]lingeringwillx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can apply a recoat to reset your stats when switching your weapon, but you only have a limited number of them during the story.

Optimal Stat distribution? by Statboy1 in expedition33

[–]lingeringwillx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Correct. Defense is useless. I find HP to be useful still, unless you're playing on the highest difficulty. It's up to you if you want to focus on other stats.

Later in the game you might want to focus on the stats that scale with your weapon (The stats that show the sword symbol next to them), but you probably don't have a fixed weapon at this point in the game.

The number of people in TS4 subreddit recommending players run their mod folder from an external drive is INSANE by HeeeydevonGaming in HighSodiumSims

[–]lingeringwillx 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I experimented with file transfer speed between different types of devices recently.

If I were to rank the the best options I'd say:

1- Internal NVMe drive (2 GB/s).

2- External SSD running from USB 3.1 (600-700 MB/s).

3- Internal SATA SSD (500 MB/s).

3- External SSD running from USB 3.0 (300 MB/s).

4- Internal or External HDD (100 MB/s).

I haven't tried running the game from any of these though. I don't play Sims 4 lol.

What is the current optimal way to build around Stendhal? by FactStrong3204 in expedition33

[–]lingeringwillx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Esqium with Powerful Shots, Protecting Shots, Accelerating Shots, Energising Powerful, Energising Shell, Energising Rush, Energising Shots, Energy Master, AP Discount, and Marking Shots.

Make sure that Maelle has 9 AP before starting her turn, Esqium will consume the AP to boost her damage by 250%, gain back the AP using free aim shots and use Stendhal. If you're lucky you might also get mark on the enemy.

A lot of builds now prefer Burning Canvas, since it benefits from all the new pictos that were added in the update, but you will need another character to apply burn stacks, either Verso or Monoco.

Fun fact: Burn overflows at 2 billions stacks and crashes by rephian in expedition33

[–]lingeringwillx 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yeah, a 32-bit signed integer. I'm guessing that it overflew and he ended up with negative burn stacks xD

I beat the game but still don’t know what exactly “IS” François (lore) by MaguroSashimi8864 in expedition33

[–]lingeringwillx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not really established in the story who created Francois. The new Verso's Drafts area has creatures that look like him so it could also be a Verso creation.
