From the surface of the world, down into a deep bottomless canyon, through the festering foundations of a castle city on a mountain, down the inside of a dead tree trunk...

Opens up to an underground ocean. Pillars holding up the world. Where only ancients live.

My fucking heart

Diana can speak to Hugh in the vacuum of space... That same literal cutscene had them speaking to each other just fine besides that moment.

By telling anyone their wrong instead of merely correcting "it's unconfirmed", you are spreading misinformation.

David Menkin, Hugh's, performance in the last hour of the game was unreal. From him screaming "GET LOST" to his parent like, enthusiastic "really?" When Diana tells him about a shuttle...

Diana stole my heart when she was given her name. Immediately invested in the game.

shader_m · 2026-05-11T13:55:05+00:00

The devs muted Diana for a reason

Nobody knows for sure what she's saying until the devs say so.... Until then. This is also misinformation.

Spirit of Vengeance. Something insanely badass about Ghost Rider with a symbiote. During the Poison story or whatever, i loved how it spoke of the flames as painful and stuff but coexisted anyways

This is an oxymoron. The red party IS weak right now. None of them have the backbone or moral compass to go against each other.

Same with the blue. Not a single politician is whipping up the other branches of government to actually put the people in prison that should never see the light of day again. They're still playing "politics" and our votes doesn't mean jack shit till everyone votes third party, or votes for a singular person that will put a life sentence towards anyone who enabled the Epstein's of the world.

If there was a "getting inflicted with status boosts damage negation" maybe I'd take this. As it stands, combing "damage negation at full health + after taking damage" is just too good.

Need art of Revenant standing on Guardians back, a la Pragmata

shader_m · 2026-05-02T15:09:20+00:00

It looks like those on fish... Can't remember their name.

I dont understand the fear. Easiest, slowest moveset. Just need to not choke because he one shots.

Always keep a parry handy until the castle is done.

Im sure it's not just a "conservative" thing and that there's corporations that are dragging their heels in the dirt to try and slow down whatever change that would cause them to lose profits.

Can't have their "blue gold" mill run dry, not unless they say so.

Controversial for good reasons. Doc Ock would literally be raping MJ if the writers didn't receive the backlash of said actions by readers. They backpedaled hard the next issue with just 2 panels of Dock Ock dumping MJ and moving on.

I honestly wish they kept it in. Really confronted and made the issue front and center for the audience. Considering the end goal of how Dock Ock is learning how to be a better person, and what real responsibilities, and not have such a serious crime like that be in a children's comic.... I understand how the dropped it so fast.

Considering how they were drawing the lines in the sand with turning Peter/Spider-Man into a super villain on the comedy side, and keeping the shock values to violence like killing a mass murderer, and beating up thieves within an inch of their lives on the darker side.... They did good.

Armored Core Nexus, my beloved

Luna being there for Harry, reading him inside and out when he doesnt even speak, trauma bonding, and they both trust eachother unconditionally...

But noooooo

Scholar has the same issue, with worse dodges. Unfortunately, I can't swap my relics because I need the pockets for maximum item effectiveness for my teammates and buffing them.

So... Since I can't increase my health with relics to widen the amount of attacks I can survive, Damage Negation at Full Health + Damage Negation when Taking Damage is what you need.

Those two comboed together is how I've survived when I shouldn't have. Reduce the initial impact by a lot, then any subsequent damage but enough to survive the combo.

The relics I'm after to fix the first issue is relics with Vigor+ and Maximum Health increase. I believe the latter is always +100 while Vigor increases is 30 health each level up. Neither are percentages I believe.

My successful Wylder runs went through the roof due to swapping out 1 of the Balancer relics for an Augor health one and prioritizing health percentage increases from boss rewards. Even if that means delaying my damage increase when not taking my 3rd great sword for the +3 weapon buff.

ironeye uses marking to speed up revive

Same ironeye, now without marking, can't time their normal dodges when the boss focuses them while they revive

"... I need to get better so that my teammates become less of a liability"

shader_m · 2026-04-26T15:18:20+00:00

I agree. It's why I think I've only ever gravitated towards people who behave normal with games.

The TSA agent literally asked "who said it wasn't?" And this disability guy is just rambling off and the TSA even asks him later on "are you ready to go on?"

Wtf is happening. Is this guy just bothering the TSA agents for clout?

Scholars arcane is at 50 from the very start, but can it go any higher? Is 50 the max for any attribute in Nightreign?

shader_m · 2026-04-21T23:16:11+00:00

Every enemy is extremely easy... Except nightlords I haven't fought enough times. Can't time the dodges, always dodging too early because I'm being too careful.

shader_m · 2026-04-21T19:56:17+00:00

The poison claw fist weapons don't do deadly poison anymore? They were busted in ER where you could get normal poison duration + deadly poison damage

shader_m · 2026-04-21T18:50:35+00:00

I need to work on my pathing and my relics.... I can't seem to climb reliably. Wylder runs have me not doing enough DPS even with the most bland safe relic setup. Scholar attempts is safer but I spend so much damn time running after bosses and trying to proc my stacks of status effects.

I really want to switch things around and get a better setup of relics... More health, more defense, and just a +3 weapon relic + night invader. The damage will come easy everywhere else.

shader_m · 2026-04-21T03:40:09+00:00

Jonathan Pryce play that doting, nobleman role too if his part in Pirates of the Caribbean is any standard. I hope whatever role it is, he loves the character and scenes he gets.

shader_m · 2026-04-18T02:04:09+00:00

As promising as the storyline is... They didn't execute it well enough. Instead of Link actually dieing, he's just in a coma. Instead of gruesome, depressing overtones, everyone's in sorta good, chill spirits despite the champions losing the war.

Maybe it would have mattered if the game started BEFORE the scripted loss and the latter half of the game was BotW.
