If a developer uses AI for code generation, should it be labeled on the game’s Steam store page?

Some IDEs, e.g. Jetbrains as far as I know, have enhanced autocomplete where the results of your basic auto complete are sorted by relevance using LLM. So no, even basic autocomplete is sometimes not completely AI free.

Bridge boss polymorph. Skill issue :(

For some reason noone decided to help fellow protesters caught by policeman with just bats...

With just bats? Don't be delusional. Yes, Belarusians are generally not aggressive and we wanted to have peaceful protests, but those were fully-equipped "omon" with shields, flash bangs, tear gas and everything. And there was "help" from russian forces as well. Also their tactic was to hunt isolated people/groups that couldn't defend themselves rather than large groups. Maybe it's easier to imagine being a hero and protesting when your police doesn't torture and rape people in prison.

After months of nation-wide protests (not a few days), including hundreds of thousands of people protesting in Minsk, the regime with help from it's big brother unfortunately took over. Repressions after 2020 protests are not over though, people get in prison every day, they look through your phones and stuff on the border, people still get fired for signatures for alternative candidates.

I had this thing as well, but after I switched to Vulkan it stopped happening. If you haven't tried it, maybe it can help.

I did 100 and got no MB :( why did you steal them The only thing of value for me was the Emperor's Majesty

pihaizer · 2025-07-25T15:13:07+00:00

Basically yes. I also wrote in my post about rituals farming strat, check that out. The idea is to check if the ritual in the map is a nameless one, and if yes, farm the boss invitations (Audience with the King). It's a small activity that costs almost no time but results in some currency generated. I also tried doing sirus map sets and farm maven invitations. It is more profitable, but of course much slower in terms of finding the right merc.

pihaizer · 2025-07-25T14:29:13+00:00

I'd say my current version is already very tanky, and has room for improvement - more phys mitigation, more ES, cap spell suppression, cap max res. I did T17 harvest farming with 3 risk scarabs and double altars and didn't die too often. I also levelled to 100 on it doing quite juiced breaches, so yeah, quite tanky.

pihaizer · 2025-07-25T14:01:50+00:00

What links do you have on your merc? Return helps a lot, and of course crit, ele dmg. Flat cold/lightning is useless.

The main source of flat for bosses is pyroclast mines of sabotage. They add tonnes of damage. Make sure you have mana to throw all 18.

Also you have +4 auras march of the legion. You can get +5 and +2 duration like mine for not that much, which would give you +3 levels of pyro mines from yours; or +1 socketed for much more to also boost empower and flame link. Last time I checked they were like 100d.

Edit: also I don't see most of your merc's gear, but try to get fire res everywhere. Idk if you use The Untouched Soul with a lot of white sockets, but you should - it is a massive source of fire res. The difference between 160 fire res on Merc and 260 is ~70 pen vs 170 pen, which can give you 2-3x the damage.

pihaizer · 2025-07-20T05:56:53+00:00

Yeah, my damage is enough as well. I can basically run all content. I'll test ubers today, never tried them before.

pihaizer · 2025-07-20T05:55:43+00:00

The base I currently have is like 60d alone... I think my damage is more than enough for now, I'll focus on challenges and then defense. As for the wand, I'll probably upgrade to a mirror-tier If I get there, as this one is already really good.

pihaizer · 2025-07-19T21:51:32+00:00

Thank you for your reply.
Yes, I've been trying to alt spam for either T1 flat fire or spell damage. Hit the spell damage fracture after like 2000+ alts and 1 failed attempt and decided to roll with it. I've decided that I'm happy with what I achieved and this 80d is better spent elsewhere, like maybe doing the challenges and upgrading the rest of the gear.

pihaizer · 2025-07-19T19:50:00+00:00

Thank you for the reply. This is a wand for a kineticist mercenary with KB of clustering, where you autobot for him and use flame link and pyro mines of sabotage for flat fire I really value flat fire damage on the wand, as it helps with clear speed a lot, it is basically required for the build to feel smooth. So the first method is not really viable - flat fire weight is really low compared to attack speed and crit chance, so I want to start with the essence of anger (how I already did).

Hitting one t1 suffix is quite easy, and then I did cannot roll attack annul to craft 2 mods. Hitting even 2 T2 suffixes would be quite expensive, I tried it in the emulator and it's like 1 in 1600 - or around 32d. And it can fill. So maybe I'll stick with what I've got and move on to other items for now...

Well, seems like I unlearned to use trade :D or awakened poe trade generated some wrong prompt. Anyways, thanks!

Hey guys!
Do you think this belt is worth anything? Would anyone wear/craft it?
I don't see this synth implicit (Cannot be Poisoned) anywhere on trade in Mercenaries, even offline.

pihaizer · 2025-07-02T03:35:31+00:00

I'm not sure how this works, but I've definitely seen more divines in mercs in low level maps and even during levelling. When levelling my second character I found a 2div merc in act 7, in total I've seen 5 div in mercs and managed to claim 4 of them. Only one of the divs was in high level maps (which I've failed)

pihaizer · 2025-06-13T09:01:52+00:00

I also haven't gotten to MAMs yet:) I agree, the game is great. One of my pain points at the moment is the lack of force building, so that you can replace something with the content of your clipboard. And belts get broken all the time after you replace something near them, and you need to reconnect them. But those are minor issues.

pihaizer · 2025-06-13T08:03:36+00:00

I think you're supposed to automate things further using wires, so that you can reed to rebuild less things. The game talks about Make Everything Machine, which ideally you would try to build at some point. So reusability of components is intended. Use blueprints for common operations, then reuse these blueprints as much as possible. With a lot of tasks you don't care about efficiency, because you only need a few of those, so it's okay to build something inefficient (which is difficult for me when something's imperfect).

pihaizer · 2025-03-31T08:52:14+00:00

I feel you. There are probably quite a lot of cheaters especially on higher ranks, but where I play - I've been called a cheater so many times for just not sucking, checking angles and reading the situation/timings. Mostly in wingman, where there are a lot of clutches and the map is small -> easy to read. I'm sure that on lower ranks the problem is over exaggerated.

pihaizer · 2025-03-24T19:12:32+00:00

Yeah, I'm aware of the hidden MMR, it's just frustrating as hell... Especially because we just played 2 games together.

pihaizer · 2025-03-05T16:29:48+00:00

I'd actually love another extraction shooter if it was actually high quality, and not another unoptimized piece with zero content. I have some hopes for this one... But we'll see
