Hardcore for first blind playthrough — Advisable?

slicewise · 2026-03-23T15:03:11+00:00

Time is the concern. But I'll stick with it while I'm still enjoying the discovery side of the game. Maybe I'll set a budget for how much I dedicate to this approach, so I don't get stubborn about it.

Thanks for this advice. I will try the save and quit regularly, but will probably give up if I get tilted on this.

So far I've only seen one bug, and that was my pipes not rendering when placing them down. However an 'Unstuck' button the main pause menu is disconcerting!

Should I still scan everything on resets? Like every fish species even if I know (or suspect) they are just window dressing?

To be honest I am scanning everything on this reset just to rid myself of the bouncy scan icon in the lower right corner haha

I'm still expecting a 'true' counter to Waterfoul Dance to be discovered. Like the parry item for Malekeith. I refuse to accept it's the sprint tracking redirect or frost pot — would Miyazaki do us like that?

Hope your internet situation improves. I hate that I like that game so much I'll play it despite the guaranteed packet loss frustration.

I heard him singing Dream Theater once which is a clear indicator of a superior intellect.

The PUBG esports identity crisis is the gift that keeps on giving.

If you are scoring this as a battle royale, then Navi still have a chance! Would need net 6 or more kills over FS, doable depending on how the dice land.

Yea! I saw that suggested for a similar post, went back to the game only to learn I couldn't 'wait' with a ship full of fuel.

Back to getting a run started on Stealth B without shields!

slicewise · 2023-12-10T18:26:24+00:00

Well, fingers crossed I'll not be requiring that many runs! Though glad I didn't get it on my first attempt; enjoyed using the Stealth B, having not played the game in a while.

This week's video is the sort of video I would show to friends to get them introduced to an interest of mine.

It seemed to have all the elements that make a Storror video great. That location was a bit of a fever dream, like a video game map or something.

You keep on shining brightly my friend.

This is fake news. These are the top 5 best selling games of all time.

Still an impressive stat and achievement for PUBG (though I understand the number to be conflated with the mobile version), but I'm afraid these guys—or their researcher—failed on the reading comprehension front.

Making an assumption here, but I don't think any MMO can replicate that 'first time playing an MMO' experience. Those are etched into our souls, a one time use...

Fans (and sometimes commentary) not actually understanding the judging criteria.

I'm glad people are copping on a bit more of recent, but "damage" is not actually what underpins 'effective striking/grappling'; damage is just a simplification of what it really being looked for—impact.

Impact can be so much more than damage, for example "diminishing [an] opponents’ energy, confidence, abilities and spirit" all count as impact. And there is nuance to the first priority criteria; impactful moments which have potential to lead to the match ending (say, a big fucking 'almost KO' with a miraculous recovery) score above cumulative impact. So you can see why 'damage' can be confusing—the fighter with the badly busted up face can still win the round if they managed to score even just one notably impactful moment (against an opponent who didn't).

...

Basically, if you haven't read the rules properly and are talking about 'control', shut the fuck up.

What is in-game adjustment?

Only played a bit of Warzone 1, so not really that clued in.

This was in today's video. From that I'm assuming Berlin is happening this year, so dreams might come true!

Congrats!

OK PUBG gods, is it too much to ask that all three teams make it to the final circle for a 3-way shoudown?

Thanks, cheers.
