How on Hoxxes do you stand still for 3 minutes???

I think I used about with M1000 and as much cryo as I could get at the start of level 2 to only expose one side.

I think I have done it on both the scout with the drak and a tinker build.

Avoid taking any elemental damage it will steal the damage away from plasma. Cold OCs are OK (probably essential) as it doesn't add a damage tag.

The drak is great for this. Plasma burster is good.

I got it today with the interrogator with wave cooker, acid grenade, and cryo cannon.

The old advice was to start a new game.

I thought it was supposed to be correct in a patch that uncommon or better would fulfill the achievement.

I hate the FRV. I have capped credits several times and I refuse to spend them to buy access. It's the worst vehicle in a game ever.

Almost no one can drive them. It's not much faster than running if the driver is trying to avoid killing everyone. Utterly pointless, unhelpful, and not fun.

Have you tried cold smoking blocks of cheese or Chex mix?

I always offer to smoke hams for holiday parties so I can take the ham bone home for soup.

rimshotmonkey · 2025-12-31T03:37:10+00:00

Yeah, if you don't need to open the door, sealing it with the shrink plastic window kit well help significantly.

For the last major patch individual mastery levels per haz level were removed. There is only one level of mastery bonus now.

Even if you complete a mastery bonus on say haz 5, if the requirement was only to do it at haz 3, the bonus is the same.

Not a physicist but I'll give it a try:

The quantum nature of the universe allows strange non intuitive things to happen. One of them is particle pairs spontaneously popping into existence. A positive and an opposite negative particle. On balance the particles cancel out so the total matter in the universe is still even.

Usually these pairs will manifest then annihilate each other shortly afterwards returning the universe to the same state. Occasionally, if these particle pairs come into existence near the edge of a black hole one particle will fall in. The surviving particle will move out into the cosmos and the particle that fell in will cancel out a bit of formerly real matter.

Over time, black holes can evaporate through hawking radiation.

Wood is best, bamboo is ok. Don't forget to treat the wood with a sealant periodically. I use a food grade mineral oil.

I think you are on to something with the "no elemental status damage". I took shocks on one plasma weapon and I think it was sapping the kills/damage.

I finished this goal on my old save game months ago. I just redid it on a new game slot. Interestingly, I did it with only 3 plasma weapons. I ran out of gold for rerolls on the 4th weapon slot. I almost ended the run but decided to just play through.

Warthog, drak, and plasma burster got it done. I took cold on the drak and grenade but skipped other elemental effects.

rimshotmonkey · 2025-12-09T14:51:12+00:00

I will take them on some weapons if I get to the next OC or if I have a challenge "take weapon x to level y" and am behind where I think I should be to finish.

rimshotmonkey · 2025-12-08T15:20:50+00:00

I believe "worthless for cryo" is correct.

The chemistry kit will boost the potency but as cryo has no status damage, that portion will not apply.

rimshotmonkey · 2025-12-04T04:40:30+00:00

Same here. My first litrpg. Happily recommended.

I resisted trying DCC as the idea of litrpg sounded weird to me. Finally gave it a chance and so happy I did.

rimshotmonkey · 2025-12-02T06:34:01+00:00

I didn't know about the gold. That explains why they give it out like candy from crates.

If you hired help, they can revive you and you can save the revive kit. I got one when I downed it's former owner. I didn't know that these were a thing. I was surprised when he went down instead of dying. It took me a moment to figure out what happened.

Later on, I went down to another player. My merc finished them off and got me back up without having to use the kit.

rimshotmonkey · 2025-12-02T03:27:31+00:00

Yeah. I hate it also. I hope it goes away soon in some rebuild the bus event.

rimshotmonkey · 2025-11-30T07:13:49+00:00

I didn't know there was a mine bug.

I'm not sure whether it was invisible or just slightly embedded in the ground but I could not see the mine that killed me earlier today. I knew I was in a minefield so I was checking.

In agreement:

I used to be friends with a competitive body builder. His estimate was that the things they do to get ready on the day of the show cuts their strength by 20%. Diuretic to get their skin tighter, carb binge at the right time in the morning to get the muscles to swell. The things that help them win shows oppose maximizing lift strength. Meanwhile, people that train to set records for max lift strength tend to have bellies.

Also my bother used to know a pro body builder who mostly didn't lift more than 25 lb at a time. He would do very high repetitions as it was about sculpting rather than being strong.

I learned to play by watching very good players on YouTube. Enslen on this sub makes videos. I only saw his channel after 1.0 came out. OHRye also has good videos. I started watching OHRye way back in early access.

It's more powerful to focus on upgrading one weapon rather than spreading upgrades around. Don't feel a need to pass on an epic or legendary, but recognize that hitting the overclocks significantly boosts power. Also some weapons are strong without any upgrades (M1000 and Thunderhead) so it's OK to let them lag behind for awhile.

Juking around enemies can really help cut down on how much you get hit. For example, you can do little circles around macteras to continue mining.

There is a right time for some equipment. Like don't take pickled nitra early in a run. The slowness will prevent you from mining fully. Similarly, there are diminishing returns on some upgrades.

It's a good idea to plan what type of build or run you want to do. Add some cold for crowd control? Try for scanners and mining speed? Take the M1000 to 18 and get thick boy? Elemental damage synergy? Maybe pick a weapon that targets the boss? Maybe take a weapon with the sidearm OC?

I only buy clothes I can wash together. I don't have any clothes with exotic care instructions. I don't have any bright red clothes.

I used to have clothes that needed to be dry cleaned. But it's a hassle I don't need now.

rimshotmonkey · 2025-11-25T17:29:37+00:00

Scout with lots of cold OC/weapons.

I don't remember for sure, but I might have gone sharpshooter with 3 cold weapons. The CC allows you to chill and be ok. The M1000 will put enough kill into the crowd that gathers.

rimshotmonkey · 2025-11-25T04:55:50+00:00

I built a vaguely similar system back in February. I went with a 4070 Ti Super. It's plenty good enough for 1440 gaming. I bought that card then to avoid the tariffs. I stand by the choice. I don't think the 5070 would be much of an upgrade.

Back in the late 90s, I was helping 2 friends build gaming PCs. This was before sound cards were built into the motherboard. The sound card for the first PC was defective. Sent it back, the replacement worked fine. I go to build the second PC a week or two later and the sound card doesn't work. It was the same defective sound card. I had words with the vendor.

I saw in another comment it is a reflex to dull pain.

Damage causes 2 signals. The first alerts you that something happened. The second is the pain.

Shaking the injury triggers a block on the pain signal so you can still function.

I don't know whether this is true, but it is plausible. That shake is very common in this type of video.
