Cool, thank you.

I'm at that exact point of my life where I'm disconnected enough from gaming drama to not really understand what's going, but am also "uh oh, it's the 90's and Grandad's on AOL" about the prospect of accidentally installing a bunch of Russian spyware.

in theory, if you have over 90% health, then you have one-shot protection(OSP) and cant get killed in one hit. You can see a diagonal series of lines on the start of your health bar if you have the OSP active. In practice, it gets a bit iffy

for starters, some items, like the personal shield generator, can end up hurting your OSP since it factors the shield into the 90% health. since there's no way to heal shield outside of letting it regen normally, it can take a long time to regain OSP if you lost it through normal damage, even if you have a ton of healing. i usually recycle all shield items for this reason, but there are some builds that benefit so much from shields that it works out

other items, like the shaped glass, will outright remove the OSP mechanic. Anything that cuts your max health will cause this

finally, enemies can be real dicks about the mechanics, like whisps or fire elites. They hit hard enough at later levels to get you down to one health and they also light you on fire so that the single tick of burn damage will kill you

the only way to be truly safe is to just not get hit, which is tough at the start, becomes much easier as you loop once or twice, and becomes impossible in later loops as theres too many enemies. Eventually you will get killed, but you can circumvent this for many loops if you are skilled enough. never stand still, always sprint, and jump/use mobility skills everywhere at all times. this is part of the reason why huntress is considered the best character for high eclipse, since she can fire while sprinting and has several movement abilities

Yeah, it's always been my biggest problem, where enemies pretty much either tickle or destroy.

Horizon's Gate got patched to work on the Deck, so good odds, I think?

Played the Kingsvein's intro and first area and this legit slaps. I am going to write more when I have more time and played more of it, but this is a legit weird part of the Rad Codex universe with half-rock people living in an underground world that's partly alive.

also lol that one of the companions you get early on is a dead ringer for my character in Horizon's Gate to the point of even using the same weapon

I have two complaints about Kingsvein:
1) It's hard to visually parse some of the terrain
and 2) Doing a fair bit of reloading as I explore somewhere and get into a fight I realize I want to tackle later

But other than that it's excellent and I love it. Kind of a return to form of the Voidspire days, more concentrated with a lot of their later games' bloat cut out :hellyeah:

This is literally all I wanted from Kingsvein and it's delivered so far about 1.5 hours in. I also love Rad Codex's commitment to "normal humans are boring" starting with Alvora Tactics and now we're at rock people PCs and a very alien world and it's great

From reviews for https://store.steampowered.com/app/1798010/Mega_Man_Battle_Network_Legacy_Collection_Vol_1/, sounds like Capcom added a DRM recently that's flagged as a virus by some AVs and breaks running the collection on steam deck.

So yeah, they're definitely still doing dumb DRM hijinks.

He's the heroic guy in silver armour and a white horse who solo'd an entire army to save one of Liu Bei's wives, failed but still got out with one of his children, then Liu Bei threw the kid to the ground like it was a basketball and said something like "I can replace wives and children, but I can't replace you!"

And what should one do to be remembered?
Zhao Yun is kind of a big RotTK fave, kinda like the stereotypical good guy hero. Koei always has him on the cover of their DW games and as the main rep for the DW side of the franchise in the Orochi titles. He's the very first NPC you team up with in Wo Long, for instance.

Chore Levelling Up
  • When cleaning a poop/vomit/burnt or cleaning out an outhouse, XP will be generated.
  • Once the chore XP bar reaches full, the Lamb will unlock a new mop. There are as many as 10 (!!!) mops to unlock.
  • The higher the mop, the faster the Lamb can clean.

Poop variations
  • Golden Poop - Drops gold when cleaned. Drops gold/gold bars when harvesting a crop fertilized with golden poop.
  • Glow Poop - Attracts fireflies.
  • Devotion Poop - Generates devotion when cleaned. Crop fertilized with devotion poop will generate devotion over time.
  • Massive Poop - Drops multiple poops when cleaned. Followers can get stuck in the massive poop :(
  • Poop pet - Drops a poop pet when harvested, only when the poop is from a follower with the poop skin.
  • Rainbow poop - Gives 5 times the chore XP when harvested. Instantly grows a crop when fertilized with rainbow poop.

Just wanted to let you lot know.
