I have seen quite a few come through this and other local subs.

It is - IMO and it seems like others' - off-putting and bad for the brand/event awareness. While it may be a budgetary or time issue for the OP, it shows a lack of care for artists and the world at large. AI generative "art" is stolen from human creation and adds fuel to the "build more data centers" fire that will burn us all to the desiccated ground if we let it.

That (semi-hyperbolically) said, I think some of these events seek to drive positive impact in their communities.

If these events are for legitimately positive causes with actual orgs (e.g. 501c3s with documented missions), maybe there are people who want to and can help.

In the light of helping well-meaning people, is there a good place for organizers to find folks who could help them in a reduced or limited budget? E.g. firms that could support non-profits with in-kind donations, graphic design students or retirees that are looking for value-driven work, etc.

How can we connect humans who want to help with other humans who want to do the same?

Wondering if anyone else is seeing this, when I am playing and take a break, close game, and then return to it my weapon max stats and aspects remain but the stats are all zeroed and can't be leveled. Picking a new weapon fixes it but it sucks to have a god-roll weapon that is just nerfed.

Anecdotally I only remember this happening after the latest patch.

(Some spoilers)

I have been really loving this game and finding myself returning for "one more run" quite a lot but at this point just don't want to do a biome 1 -> priestess run anymore because I don't know whether this encounter will just bug and break. Seeing as this is the most satisfying and longest path it just sucks to not know if the game will fail at the climax.

Bugged encounter seems to include (from some quick survey of the subreddit):

• Companions disappear
• Enemy stops targeting
• Enemy becomes invulnerable (not just volatility)
• Enemy disappears completely

Is there a fix in the works here?

I am currently stuck at the second boss and tbh would like to adjust the difficulty. I've read that the conditions for activating the Modifiers are either (a) max out skill tree and die to the first boss prior to beating it or (b) beat the second boss.

So, what happens when you can't beat the second boss? Is there no way to just unlock the modifiers?

For context, I've beaten Returnal plenty of times and in Saros start at the beginning so that my proficiency is decent by the time I get to the end of biome 2.
