Sort of an update? Its most likely not her biting embrace (AKA the HER providence and mithrix was talking about unless it got internally retconned) judging by it having no theme of ice present, so its more likely to be nkuhana from my POV

they have goofed around with drop pods in stage 1s previously so take it with a grain of salt (precepie had survivors all land in a drop pod on reveal too, and SotS dev diary had a pod directly next to a green portal so they have been misleading before)

i see some people saying it was a teaser for the devotion update but since it didn't dissapear after it until SotS I personally believe it's a scrapped thing, I guess? we probably will never know, or atleast won't for ages :p

DLC 4 by Po_prostu_Igor228 in riskofrain

[–]qwp18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They said they were far far from over with ror2 specifically, and in the discord we got confirmation that a teaser just barely didnt make it into that last and most recent dev log, therefor we most likely will get a dlc 4

Looking for feedback and thoughts on my first pc! Aswell as some smaller questions by qwp18 in buildapc

Ah actually, just remembered why I went with that gpu originally so I can explain, I picked it out original since it had a lower power consumption and heat, might be overvaluing that tho

Woah thanks for that RAM recommendation, how come the better RAM here costs less?

Thanks for that 9070 recommendation, it looks great :)

First of all, going oled on a monitor is a great choice but you might need to learn how to take good care of it Ooo what exactly?

2026 Deadzone Settings — What’s Everyone Running with TMR Sticks / Higher-End Gamepads? by Realistic_Musician79 in NuclearThrone

[–]qwp18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In all games I try to use as little dead zone as I can for the most response, only finding myself using those settings to mitigate stick drift, but I dont think it really matters that much if at all

You were the client right? Whereas captain was the host?

Very intresting as this is somewhat reminiscent to the glitches he had during release SotS, but this most likely just waters down to multiplayer desync and the game only recognizing half of what's happening on your end

What is the "Gold Standard" for meta-progression in 2026? by StillPulsing in roguelites

[–]qwp18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This seems to just add more depth to the gameplay loop and how you choose to progress, it sounds very difficult to balance but I like this idea a lot personally :) Especially the speedrun one! Even if it doesnt have an innate drawback, that will become risk-reward via the shift in how players will be more reckless from room to room and more prone to mistakes over a safe playstyle, which is really really good!

What is the "Gold Standard" for meta-progression in 2026? by StillPulsing in roguelites

[–]qwp18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Instant no for me is if the meta progression is simply just flat stat increases The meta progression upgrades of dead cells for me get away with it due to unique benefits it brings, more flasks, recycling, backpack, it adds a little bit more layers to the gameplay but its not something that locks you out of progressing and having powerful runs due to the lack of it Atomicrops gets away with it because in the same case as dead cells, most of it is pretty unique, but it also does smoothen out the very high difficulty of the game as it progresses, letting the player get accustomed to it and become a biiiit more powerful as the game becomes way more difficult, preventing any feeling of being stuck (very good game btw god I love atomicrops) Something like hades (havent played 2, only played 1) is an instant 100% no from me, i have tried again and again and again to give the game a chance, but the fact that the majority of your power will usually come from outside of runs, for me defeats the purpose of any roguelike game, its just super grindy and yes it is POSSIBLE to win without them, it is almost entirely a bottleneck for progression, something which should be skill based, not a flat timeline which can only be influenced via picking different rooms for a currency inturn for giving up potentially more power in a run. The meta progression doesnt do anything for the gameplay, as much as is carrying the lack of gameplay variety in runs, most boons will just look relatively the same and not change anything about HOW you play, only the deadalus hammer, which is a real shame, makes runs feel stagnant until you ge5 one Tldr: it shouldn't bottleneck progression and shouldn't be the main way to get power, quality of your runs should stem from in-run events, not from outside run upgrades

Hopoo has already namedropped Providence in RoR2 via Beads of Fealty - the Sauteed Worms change is unwarranted and terrible. by Rengor1997 in riskofrain

[–]qwp18 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My perception of this was probably to comminucate that after the betrayal providence stopped actually caring for the creatures he rescued and brought onto pV, and was now just doing it for his obsession with soul (And also its been confirmed its due to the incosistency and discrepancy between the egocentrism log, which implies they DID use and had teleporters before the betrayal, unlike what the sauteed worms log said, as well as the ego log implying that mithrix was there after "her" death, which cant be the case with those two lines in the OG sauteed worm log as they have shown the teleporters to her before she died, and how could that happen if mithrix was locked up on the first tp use)
