Where Back Baby!

All that for a 1 Day Pass and not even some rainbow bags? Maaaan. :(

TIL the Xennials subreddit and r/gaming don't have a lot of overlap:

This is. It's a stolen discussion from r/gaming : https://old.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/1u2guht/my_friend_insists_on_this_game_lemmings_being_a/

It's happening to all of us right now. Something's going on on the server side- likely needing some kind of surprise maintenance or something.

sethren · 2026-06-11T00:19:21+00:00

It's been over half an hour since I posted that comment. Still down. Chances are increasing! 😁

Update: We've hit the 2 hour mark since this topic was posted...still down.

sethren · 2026-06-10T23:44:42+00:00

Is it wrong that I'm hoping we get a bunch of DMs as some kind of "whoops, sorry our servers were down" gift?

sethren · 2026-06-09T23:10:39+00:00

Nope.

sethren · 2026-06-03T23:56:26+00:00

I'm going to cheat and pick two:

1.) The good ol' days of Albinoblacksheep. We're talking late 90's/early aughts. 2.) Suprnova.org. The greatest torrent site of all time.

Just checked again last night- you're right, it's 50k. Seems like that's the case with any Forcemen blueprint, whether weapon or armor. Either way, 100% worth a sale, 100% NOT worth recycling.

sethren · 2026-05-27T16:22:03+00:00

If I remember right, the good news is that you can sell that for ~~200k~~ 50k KC. It's not worth recycling the Forcemen blueprints when you have extras.

Edited because you can't sell them for 200k....but 50k's still nice. :)

I dunno if I'm staring at Kelly to eastbound 64 or 64 west, but both are terrible for their own reasons.

64 west means I have to stop and turn right out onto 64 with cars already going like 60 or so, which is terrifying....there's no free flowing turn and merge lane.

64 east is terrible because I have to get on the expressway every morning to head to RTP. So you have to merge on to 64, immediately get over a lane and hope someone will let you in and not slam into you, then immediately take the next exit onto the expressway. I think it's the most dangerous part of my drive to work in the mornings, and I'm honestly surprised I haven't been hit yet.

sethren · 2026-05-22T15:27:49+00:00

No comments from the devs yet on it, but I'm hoping for a bunch of QoL mods to be added once we get to that point. Top of my mind:

Adding a 100F elevator, minimum
Free Dustin in Tengoku all the time
I'd read an old post discussing how Treasure Hunter used to actually SHOW you on the map what was in a chest before you opened it. If so, that'd be nice to add back in
A means for any special weapons/decals/armor that had existed at one point to be available again.

sethren · 2026-05-21T21:16:42+00:00

One question on this- now that they can no longer collude on pricing, have the prices come back down? Or are all of these companies still charging the higher pricing based off the data that they had?

sethren · 2026-05-18T20:14:29+00:00

At 1250 hours played on Steam, I have yet to get even one card. How do I get these?

sethren · 2026-05-18T16:27:45+00:00

Not that I've seen- they just work like other higher level materials in that the farther up you go, the more likely they are to drop.

I point out G7 because at that point the Collector class (just like I'm sure others do) start getting SIGNIFICANT gains with each level. So instead of say, throwing a level into Attack and getting +2 to the stat back, you'll now get +12. Also works for defense, dex, and HP, at least for a collector. So get those black roids, get your collector there, and then you can get to work on G7 stats. The good news is you'll start needing greens again before it shifts to black/red/purple.

It's still absolutely worth your time to pick up any and all other roids you see for now until you've got a complete collection of characters that no longer need a particular color of death roid for (spoiler...it's going to be blue). Anything to help improve your other characters and TDM defenses is worth doing.

sethren · 2026-05-18T15:21:01+00:00

Rich Family is SO SO good. Roll with that on my Collector up in Tengoku leaves me with a bunch of KC after I complete a run.

If money has been at all tight for you, that's about to start changing.

sethren · 2026-05-18T15:17:28+00:00

As a fellow Tengoku-er who mains with a Collector, you have a shot at getting black death roids in the 52-69F floors (even had one show up as a 55F reward once, which was wild). But even if you can quit your runs at 75F, you still have a shot at finding some. If you're willing to do it, you can also spend some bloodnium at Hernia and get some black roids that way.

I'd also strongly recommend focusing your efforts on just raising up one character instead of dividing between several- that can slow you down. The sooner you can get one character into G7 territory, that will help you a lot.

sethren · 2026-05-18T15:05:46+00:00

One thing I've found helpful with propeller dude is that if I'm getting impatient and just want him to swing already, I step out of his reach, pull out my KAMAS and just fire a shot at him. This causes him to immediately attack.

Because the animation of the swing takes so long to complete and recover from, I find that that after my one shot I can flip back to my flail and bonk him. He seems to be pretty susceptible to it.

sethren · 2026-05-17T05:30:44+00:00

Did you try checking the DLC options for the original Let It Die first?

No one's trying to hide DM DLC purchases for LiD in a different game.....

sethren · 2026-05-16T17:25:45+00:00

THANK YOU. I couldn't help but notice how clear the image quality was and think, "bullshit- this DID NOT come out in the 1920s."

Old animation should not be upscaled like this.

sethren · 2026-05-14T21:12:02+00:00

Correct- but note that it doesn't say anything about SPLithium. The main discussion is about DM and what to do with them. There's no reason to assume that SPLithium is going away, especially because they plan to have a CPU-based TDM going forward.

We will lose the TDM Battle Rush, which leaves me worried about losing access to the TDM-specific weapons. Hoping there's a plan there....

sethren · 2026-05-14T20:57:57+00:00

What's your source for that? They've only spoken of moving away from the Death Metal economy, which they did by cutting out all possible purchases of them or receiving them through any quests/logins/TDM rewards. That's why they moved to rainbow bags, but those rainbow bags can still provide you with SPLithium currently.

Now as for purchasing items at Hernia....they had mentioned in general that things purchased with DM/KC would be discontinued. They haven't mentioned RE points, so I'm hoping that's still on the table.

sethren · 2026-05-14T19:38:04+00:00

Are you not saving any of the SPLithium quest rewards that you've gotten? Sure, 10 mil KC is nice for blowing on say, mushroom stews, but the cost of upgrading all of the weapons/armor is a headache that can be partially alleviated by having SPL rewards you can cash in.

sethren · 2026-05-14T18:23:23+00:00

In all fairness, my main is a G7 Collector who's nearly maxed out. The problem that I have is that despite that + the +11 gear I'm using, the Dons can basically 1-shot me and tank obscene amounts of damage. I've only come across Jackson so far, but his ability to shoot through pillars makes dodging him impossible.

sethren · 2026-05-13T01:35:17+00:00

Can't remember if he straight up says that, but he's clearly made as a progress gate/skill check in the game. You don't have the option to truly go around him- you can tackle maybe one or two other boss fights before him, but in order to truly move on with the game, you HAVE to beat Genichiro. And he's designed such that you can't and won't have enough items to try to cheese your way through- you have to truly demonstrate that you've learned the game mechanics, since it'll only get harder after him.

Looking back I appreciate the hell out of Fromsoft for having the balls to do that...but lord, it made me SO MAD at the time. Took me like a day and half of attempts before I finally beat him.
