| GeneralKenobi85 09/08/25 12:12:07 PM #35 | ssb_yunglink2 posted... A lot of the double damage enemies in hollow knight at least made sense imo. They werent super common but when you got hit by them its like okay that thing was massive I guess that makes senseI think Silksong is pretty logical when it comes to what gives double damage. Like it's pretty safe to assume if the enemy or boss is large, it's going to deal double damage. And most small enemies that deal it have multi-hit blade attacks. Honestly, I think people would have much less of a problem if contact damage didn't deal double damage. Not saying they should have changed that, but I think that's probably the aspect of it that makes it so much harder to deal with. --- Ah, yes, the Negotiator: General Kenobi <sneaky beeping> |

Holy hell I finally beat thatYeah just beat this myself and I can see why it'd be one of the toughest encounters in the game for most people. I went in with a second needle upgrade, so I think that helped a ton. At the end I was just spamming all my tools, and they made good work of the big guys for sure. Key to that is getting them to mostly stay on the same side of the room with each other. Being in between them is suicide. --- Ah, yes, the Negotiator: General Kenobi <sneaky beeping> |

| Topic | Should they add an easy mode for Hollow Knight Silksong? |
| GeneralKenobi85 09/06/25 4:49:55 PM #16 | I'd say no, but with how popular Silksong's launch was, it's inevitable that there are going to be a ton of people that simply won't be able to beat the game. So they're kinda screwed unfortunately. I guess the same could be said of Hollow Knight, but Silksong is definitely way harder. --- Ah, yes, the Negotiator: General Kenobi <sneaky beeping> |

| Topic | Does Alien Earth retcon Prometheus and Covenant? |
| GeneralKenobi85 09/06/25 11:29:33 AM #2 | They're not retconned, more like ignored. At least so far. I think the major lore conflict so far is that the ship in Alien: Earth launched before the Prometheus did yet it is still pretty clearly a Weyland-Yutani ship. The companies had not merged until after Prometheus. It was definitely a Yutani venture, but still weird to see all the stuff labeled WY on board. --- Ah, yes, the Negotiator: General Kenobi <sneaky beeping> |

If you mean Silk Hearts, they let you regenerate one little notch of silk naturally.No I meant I got two spool fragments, which adds a little bit more to your silk bar. But as far as I could tell, I still needed the full bar to heal. I could just be mistaken though. I'll have to confirm next time I play. --- Ah, yes, the Negotiator: General Kenobi <sneaky beeping> |

Needing full silk to heal is a bigger hurdle than the amount of health.I got a silk upgrade and it still requires a full loom to heal. Or I'm just not understanding how it works. --- Ah, yes, the Negotiator: General Kenobi <sneaky beeping> |

I've found a couple mask pieces, but not enough to get me a single health up.To be honest, with how many things seem to deal two masks of damage, I'm not even sure 6 health is that much more useful than 5. But definitely something I'd like to get as well. I'm at 3 shards right now. --- Ah, yes, the Negotiator: General Kenobi <sneaky beeping> |

And I doubt V's quickhacks would work in the Pokemon world. I could see him becoming a Pokemon trainer though.

| Topic | About to start Cyberpunk 2077, give me tips and Chie's |
| GeneralKenobi85 09/03/25 9:18:38 AM #5 | There's a couple different builds you can go down, and stealth is one of them. The most popular build is focused on Intelligence and Quickhacking. Quickhacks are your equivalent of powers or magic in other games. But even there you can choose to be stealthy or loud. Also, you are restricted to a small portion of the map for Act 1. There are some sidequests you can do during that, but you may want to wait till Act 2 to do them too for story-related reasons. Not really a big deal either way though. --- Ah, yes, the Negotiator: General Kenobi <sneaky beeping> |

| GeneralKenobi85 09/02/25 8:23:46 AM #53 | CableZL posted... I finally got caught up on the show, and Im loving it. I think this show is my favorite thing in the Alien series so far. I feel like theyve really taken advantage of the TV format to flesh things out a lot more than the movies ever could. Cant wait to see more of this.Yeah I think the medium lets them expand the universe a lot more. Much like how the novels and comics did. Zikten posted... I think the franchise creator, Ridley Scott worked on it so that's probably why it's so good. He's not really involved, just credited as an executive producer. Prometheus and Covenant are extremely polarizing to most Alien fans though, so probably for the best that he isn't involved in any major way. --- Ah, yes, the Negotiator: General Kenobi <sneaky beeping> |

| Topic | Just watched Alien Resurection(Franchise wide SPOILERS-Alien lore is nonsense) |
| GeneralKenobi85 09/01/25 9:05:32 AM #33 | Resurrection is just a bit too weird for me. I don't think it's bad, it still managed to be an entertaining movie. I really like the scene where the xenomorphs escape by killing one of their own. I thought that was pretty clever. But it's my least favorite of the classic 4 films. Murphiroth posted... Predator isn't canon.I guess it's kind of dubious, since the xenomorph skull in Predator 2 is just an easter egg really. Like how Tyrell Corporation is mentioned in some of the Alien movies. It's more like there are three separate canons, Alien, Predator, and Alien vs. Predator. I agree that Alien is totally separate from the other two. But it does look like Predator's canon is definitely merging with Alien vs. Predator's canon at this point. --- Ah, yes, the Negotiator: General Kenobi <sneaky beeping> |

| GeneralKenobi85 08/28/25 11:28:36 AM #6 | DodogamaRayBrst posted... I would prefer if only pokemon with three evolutions in their line get mega. Something like Hawlucha should just get an evolution instead so it will be usable when they take megas away again. I wonder if ZA will have any new regional forms/evolutions or if it will just be new megas.Hawlucha on its own is not bad though. But I get your point. Although even something like Beedrill is totally useless without its mega. --- Ah, yes, the Negotiator: General Kenobi <sneaky beeping> |

One good thing about the constant doom scrolling and bad news is that it's like "yes, I suck, but look at those guys" and then I feel better. Slightly.I feel like it doesn't help because most people aren't actually that bad.

| GeneralKenobi85 08/27/25 10:07:25 AM #12 | Westernwolf4 posted... Agreed. This one was clearly a table setting episode, but table setting done well. Just setting everyone up to spiral to destruction in traditional Alien fashion.I fully expect most of the characters to die mainly because the whole xenomorph thing has to be kept on the down-low for it to make sense in the timeline. Also because it's the Alien series obviously. Weyland-Yutani is not getting those specimens back at least. I just wonder what role the eye monster is going to play because they're giving it equal importance to the xenomorph so far. Also, looks like Kirsh is going down the David route. I'm guessing next episode is going to explain what exactly happened on the Maginot. --- Ah, yes, the Negotiator: General Kenobi <sneaky beeping> |

I think they were trying to combine everything into one character.

If they were truly hidden in the massive maps it would have been way worse.Isn't the PC performance a large part of the lukewarm reception? I'm interested in it at some point for sure.
