how do I deal with the cards that flip every turn in inscryption?

theyre invincible so the only ways to deal with them are either thorns on an opposite lane card or using an item like scissors. usually only low attack cards have that ability so you can also out dps them with a better card

if you mean how to deal with the angler fight, then when he goes into phase 2, he puts chum buckets in front of your active cards. either sacrifice the cards in front of the buckets or have a card with sideways attack so you dont break the buckets and summon the shark. angler is the easiest boss once you know his gimmick

Honestly the only people who see an issue with characters like Mario or Peach turning into an elephant are those who are pornsick. Like the character turns into an elephant and it's like sirens are blaring inside their head because they immediately see it as a sexual thing and "oh my god how could they do that" when it's literally just a funny animal transformation that makes children laugh because it's so wacky.

You recognize it as a sexual thing because your head is full of porn, I'm so sorry for you and your lame rear end brain.

Confession: even on playthrough 2, I turned down the difficulty for the Gith Inquisitor fight :negative:

It's just a tough spot in the game because it appears to have been designed under the assumption that you're level 5, and I wasn't, and that fifth level is the most important one in the game because martial classes get their second attacks and monks get their stun and arcane casters get Fireball, and I just had to get beefed up with some extra HPs so I didn't get one-shot

On reflection, I think one of my favorite small things Ender Lilies did that more games should consider is that the main character doesn't take fall damage, but the enemies do. This playthrough would've been a lot less funny if I didn't have the ability to leap up and clobber something so hard I spike it into the ground for twice the initial damage

professional game reviewers all leave motion blur and poo poo on and have no idea of what any settings do and dont know how to play games either. that's just the best way to get an objective review that captures the developers artistic intent

in their defense it seems like CO just included a bunch of settings for RTGI AI denoising that do nothing because they're using SSGI. Or it's the other way around and they accidentally have RTGI enabled but say it's SSGI. :iiam:

The “30 fps w/ ray tracing” modes in PS5 games look like dogshit compared to other games that run at 30 fps because they use insanely aggressive motion blur to try and make the image look smooth but it has the opposite effect and makes it painful to look at

Wonder should be interesting because I heard the philosophy was to give no deadline and let the devs put in whatever madness they could think of. Probably the only way you end up with something that feels significantly different than a bunch of SMM2 levels tbh

its strange, i don't really get motion sick irl or anything but games that have really lovely small fov and bad motion blur usually make me start to feel sick.

so first thing i always do is turn off moblur and increase fov by a solid 10+. genuinely dont understand why small fov is always the default

Has anyone here played Disco Elysium? It is mostly text based. It reminds me a lot of Planescape Torment. I found the storyline and setting to be interesting and thought that the game had touching things to say about Communism. It makes fun of communism but in this melancholy way that only a communist could really say.

There's a quest line where the main character, who is a police man, tries to join a communist movement. The vanguard party only has two members, due to in fighting and people's unwillingness to do the reading homework. The two insist the main character read a long and boring book about a subject called "inframaterialism" a fictional psuedo science about imagining things into existence that parodies some of the USSR's intellectual dead ends like Lysenkoism and Posadism.

It leads to this conversation. A quirk of the game is the main character hears his skills as voices in his head.

quote:

Rhetoric: The question you mean to ask is both very complicated and incredibly simple...
Endurance: Take a deep breath. Best to go one piece at a time.
You: If communism keeps failing every time we try it...
Steban: (he waits patiently for you to finish)
You: ...And the rest of the world keep killing us for our beliefs...
Steban: Yes?
Volition: Say it.
You: ...What's the point?
Steban: (he considers your words for a minute)
Composure: You're witnessing his ironic armour melt before you. This is his *true self* you're seeing now.
Empathy: He's thinking about someone...
You: Wait, who is he thinking about?
Empathy: Hard to say. Someone dear to him.
Visual Calculus: Track his gaze. He's looking out past the broken wall, toward the opposite side of the Bay...
You: Toward the skyscrapers of La Delta.
Visual Calculus: They rise like electric obelisks in the night.
Steban: The theorists Puncher and Wattmann — not infra-materialists, but theorists nonetheless — say that communism is a secular version of Perikarnassian theology, that it replaces faith in the divine with faith in humanity's future... I have to say, I've never *entirely* understood what they mean, but I think maybe the answer is in there, somewhere.
You: Wait, you're saying communism is some kind of religion?
Steban: Only in this very specific sense. Communism doesn't dangle any promises of eternal bliss or reward. The only promise it offers is that the future can be better than the past, if we're willing to work and fight and die for it.
You: But what if humanity keeps letting us down?
Steban: Nobody said fulfilling the proletariat's historic role would be easy. (he smiles a tight smile) It demands great faith with no promise of tangible reward. But that doesn't mean we can simply give up.
You: Even when they ignore us?
Steban: Even then.
Ulixes: Mazov says it's the arrogance of capital that will be its ultimate undoing. It does not believe it can fail, which is why it must fail.
Volition: So young. So *unbearably* young...
Half Light: Why do you see the two of them with their backs against a bullet-pocked wall, all of a sudden?
Inland Empire: Their faces, blurred yet frozen as though in ambrotype. You were never *that young*, were you?
Steban: I guess you could say we believe it *because it's impossible*. (he looks at the scattered matchboxes on the ground) It's our way of saying we refuse to accept that the world has to remain... like this...

I think about this conversation sometimes. Sometimes I find myself on team asteroid, looking at the cruelty of the world and its inevitable doom and hoping an asteroid will come along and swiftly silence humanity for ever, leading once again to a lifeless and unobserved silent universe. Then I remember this line. The future can be better than the past. The impossible can become real. We can refuse to accept that the world has to remain like this.

fov is for console performance

thats when gsmes went from 90-110 to 70-75 fov

motion blur is also for hiding bad frame rates

I've been having a lot of fun with it too. The most recent patch seems to have broken things a little for me, I had 3 crashes in 5 minutes, but before this it's been running wonderfully for me. Solid 8.5/10 for me at ~15 hours in
