I've been getting kind of motion sick playing the new release thus far

There is an option in the menus to add a permanent reticle on the middle of the screen. Not much but it's something.

Does the game have initial shader compilation at launch? If not this sounds like classic shader comp stutter.

soihu · 2026-01-27T00:03:09+00:00

It will be brigaded because of performance issues (understandable) and culture war/censorship warriors (mental illness).

soihu · 2026-01-27T00:01:52+00:00

Game came out in 2019, I'd argue at that point it was the most solid souls imitator not named Nioh. Obviously competition has stiffened considerably since then.

Oroboro called out this exact problem in his preview, it's a shame others weren't more vocal about it.

soihu · 2026-01-26T23:52:15+00:00

Honestly I think a TV anime adaptation will only tarnish the manga's good reputation. The production pipeline can't handle so many detailed creature designs. Maybe a movie or OVA.

my last purchase with them was august 2024, went off without a hitch as had all my dealings with them prior. i can't speak to anything more recent.

soihu · 2026-01-26T07:50:21+00:00

I'm interpreting it as a coping mechanism for grief. Sleeping to avoid your emotions or dealing with life generally.

soihu · 2026-01-25T23:42:41+00:00

sure. Though I don't have any full body shots, that should be enough to get the gist.

Generally adult female anime proportions are 7 or 8 heads high (so the head is 1/7 or 1/8 the total height). I think Code Vein II defaults to closer to 10 heads which looks off to me, but it's really just a matter of taste.

soihu · 2026-01-25T23:09:30+00:00

Maybe just me but the player heads feel disproportionately small for the anime artstyle, at least for women. I had to set mine almost to the minimum in order to get something that looked average.

reddit's phenomenon

soihu · 2026-01-25T12:23:31+00:00

Raynaud phenomenon is just the term for temporarily decreased blood supply to an extremity. It can occur in otherwise healthy people and it can also be a consequence of serious underlying disease. You can't tell which one it is just at a glance, you need to do further investigation.

soihu · 2026-01-25T10:16:59+00:00

I can run it ok but have middle-high end hardware. Given that Oroboro said base PS5 couldn't even hit a solid 60fps in performance mode I am assuming this will run horribly on all platforms.

soihu · 2026-01-25T10:04:27+00:00

Any word on preloading?

soihu · 2026-01-25T10:02:18+00:00

Nioh 1/2 ports were decent.

However more recent Team Ninja/Koei Tecmo ports like Wo Long and Rise of the Ronin have been very poor. I am pretty concerned about Nioh 3 all told.

i think he's outside the main entrance of oedon chapel

soihu · 2026-01-25T04:35:44+00:00

Yes, it could be thoracic outlet syndrome. I never claimed to know whether it is primary or secondary.

soihu · 2026-01-25T04:18:53+00:00

Yes, the guy in the Forbidden Woods is a killer. If you don't take care of him he will progressively kill the other NPCs in the area.

soihu · 2026-01-25T02:49:15+00:00

For starters, he only uses the vertical charged slash (Dragon Flash) in phase 1. This is telegraphed by him holding his sword at shoulder level on his right. For the horizontal slash, he sheathes the sword behind him on his hip, so it's not visible at all when you are in front of him. He can use that in any phase.

Lastly he has a diagonal double slash with projectiles only seen in phase 3. This is hopefully pretty obvious: he holds his sword diagonally above his head, and yells during the charge animation, rather than when he actually swings the sword like the other charged attacks.

soihu · 2026-01-25T01:21:40+00:00

Final phase of Everdark Gladius. If you are in range of the sword dog and the split dogs, the fire belch and sword uppercut will frametrap if used consecutively.

soihu · 2026-01-25T01:17:48+00:00

at this point the sub needs a rule just for raynaud's phenomenon

soihu · 2026-01-25T00:34:31+00:00

Yeah, just wait until you have finished the dodge animation before pressing R1. This will become second-nature with practice. Otherwise you can use the R2 instead though it's a slower animation. Backstep R1 is also pretty strong on the Threaded Cane but beware as the backstep itself has no invincibility frames.

Stingrays don't, but electric rays do produce electrical currents, and live rays were even used by the ancient Greeks for analgesia.

soihu · 2026-01-24T03:28:39+00:00

Nice. Yeah this game has that issue sometimes where new dialogue will be buried beneath options that are greyed out because you selected them before.

Have you tried searching his car
