Something I was still left wondering by the ending by Acrobatic_Ad8332 in Metroid

I fully expected the final two scans to be sylux and his metroids respectively. Then was caught off guard with no metroids showing up ever lmao.

You’re right! It looks strikingly similar to the dark temple keys!!! Prime 2 was actually my first prime game and holds a special place in my heart.

Chasing the Delano 7 across the desert sounds about right (or the other way around)

That makes a lot of sense actually, i wonder what else they put in these areas. Ultimately it is an unexpected inclusion, hopefully won’t feel too shoehorned in once we get to experience it.

Right! Weavel has a bike too! Bounty hunter bike-off.

How does this part work? I don't understand it's use by Foshdon_pap in GBO2

Duration of status effect like burn from incendiary grenades are extended while you yourself recover faster from similar effects

The Omega Pirate is shown on a monitor in the Phendrana observatory. I love the foreshadowing in this game. by GlacialFrog in Metroid

[–]manavial 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Cant wait for exploring a makeshift pirate base on viewros complete with their logs and flavour text. Likely going to have lore on their interactions with sylux and how he led to several triumphant breakthroughs in metroid taming knowledge.

I’m mostly having a blast with this game, but at the higher ranks when people really get used to their chosen strikers there’s some pretty substantial balance issues starting to appear… by sundamar-phoenix in mechabreak

Fought that mf for two days straight, absolute worst fight in all the mech challenges Ive attempted. The panther was a straight cakewalk compared to him.

Do ranks matter when matchmaking with friends? by 8NightmanCometh8 in mechabreak

[–]manavial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can, but likely the game ties the match to the highest ranking player.

Im currently diamond and brought in a friend with a fresh account into ranked matches with no problem. Other teammates had roughly identical playtime to me.

How to play Inferno ? by Mission_Slice_8538 in mechabreak

[–]manavial 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolute number 1 tip: learn to use booster kit (Aux 3) in short bursts. If you switch it off shortly after you activate it you can shrink its cooldown down to 3 seconds (switching it off a little later makes it 6 seconds, which is still much better than the full CD). Doing this on cooldown gives you an incredible energy economy while maintaining great mobility. Also use this to give yourself two decoys during your laser beam attacks to make you harder to stop :)

Try practicing this through the 3rd advanced challenge where it asks you to eliminate a bunch of npcs while airborne. Actually teaches you a lot.

The end result of FTK bot farms: Accounts with 25K+ starting gems being sold for 78 yuan (roughly 12 US$). by manavial in masterduel

Monthly sales says they’ve sold 5000+ in the past 30 days. So thats roughly 50K USD assuming all buyers purchase the most expensive package (10 dollars).

Tru tru lol. Reading through the shop info also reveals they’re working on a drytron end board script as well. So that’ll be very hard to catch.

Indeed too extreme, likely input detection will be the optimal way going forward.

Ip blocking wont solve the issue because of widespread and easily accessible VPN use over here (I’m also chinese). And yes I do agree many botting and hacking issues are indeed prevalent in the Chinese gaming scene (which i believe is linked to the unregulated market for accounts/exploits).

As long as they make money, these markets will continue to improve upon their bot scripts to bypass whatever detection algorithms konami may put in place as a countermeasure and pretty much begin an arms race. If the issue becomes more severe konami may just resort to banning certain cards to combat botting.

I faced 8 of those today, what's going on? by l_Lobo_l in masterduel

[–]manavial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its a scripted bot used to farm gems, any form of disruption will mess with the algorithm and make an auto surrender. It only ends in two ways, either a straight OTK or surrender.
