I’ve been really enjoying the Magnificus campaign mod recently, but I’m a little confused as to where the hybrid Mox cards I’m buying with my Crystals are going, especially because I usually end up drawing them with Hoarder later on.

Do I draw them from the main deck, or are they a part of my Mox deck?

I’m really enjoying my first-ever playthrough of The Force Unleashed, but I’m having two major difficulties: The platforming, and the boss fights. Below are some details on what I’m experiencing to help the direction of advice.

For platforming, Starkiller feels super slippery to control. I jump around all over the place, and some jumps are too far for me to be able to make even though I don’t see any other way to progress. I can stand this, for the most part, but some tips would be helpful if there are any.

I’m having a much harder time with boss fights than I do in a lot of games. The lock-on absolutely SUCKS because it just keeps focusing on the arena’s objects instead of the boss I’m actually trying to fight, so I never use it. Should I be using it? Am I not using it effectively?

Boss tells don’t feel clear, and neither does countering their attacks. Fights feel like a frenzy of stuff happening, and I can’t really tell when I’m supposed to block. I’m not even sure if the block function even works, cause sometimes, Starkiller will be holding his lightsaber up to block, and the attack will just go right through it. Every once in a while, I can get them with a Force blast, a lightning strike, or thrown object, but other times, they’ll just completely shake it off.

I see that some bosses have a Force aura around themselves, which is totally fine, but the aura doesn’t go away to show that they’re exposed or something. It will go away SOMETIMES, but the aura disappearing isn’t translating to “it’s time to attack” because they’ll shrug it anyway. Meanwhile, they’ll sometimes take hits even when the aura is active! Is this a bug?

Did I miss a tutorial section or something? Is there a way I can do like “Jedi Training” or whatever to learn more about how I’m actually supposed to be fighting stuff? It feels like I do more just mashing buttons than thinking about what attacks I need to use, probably just because I’m covering more ground on when bosses are exposed.

Specific details to help with tips or clarities: I’m currently stuck on Kazdan Paratus, playing on the standard difficulty (Sith Warrior I think?), through the Ultimate Sith version of the game on Steam.

I’m a big fan of Enemy Unknown’s combat loop and base building, but I cannot for the life of me stand having to build the Satellites during the first third of the game whenever I replay it. It’s one of the parts of the game that feels like I can never master it no matter how many times I try, and it just leads to me doing stuff I don’t feel like doing all in the name of making sure the planet’s covered.

Is there any kind of mod that can remedy this problem so I find the game more replayable? Instant Satellite build time, start the game with the planet already covered, take back panicked countries so I can still have all of their support, etcetera?

I recently just got done with another playthrough of South Park: The Stick of Truth, and it struck me that one of the things that makes me want to play a turn-based RPG are when the game requires you to input things during an attack for maximum success.

I played Bowser’s Inside Story as a kid, and I would love to do it again, but I don’t have easy access to a Nintendo system to play any of the Mario & Luigi games. Are there any other games, preferably on Steam, that have a similar level of involvement DURING attacks?

P.S. Please don’t recommend piracy, I don’t want to pirate games.

“My steak is too juicy, and my lobster is too buttery” is a phrase that’s been getting popular lately, and while I don’t mind its existence, or the way it’s used (like when describing if someone has too much money), the way it’s literally presented infuriates me.

I guarantee anybody who uses it would be upset if they REALLY DID eat a steak that was too juicy, or a lobster that was too buttery, but I can’t argue that, or else I look like the buzzkill, right? Again, I think the way the phrase is used is fine, but the phrase itself is stupid.

Does anybody else relate to this? Maybe share your own phrases that peeve you in the comments?

I like running around in the basic Banished Knight armor set, but any legs I can think to use don’t match very well, and I hate the “duck feet” that come on the Banished legs. Any ideas for what I could use instead?
