Yeah the no-exp on death perk should be removed. It's an outsized benefit for a degenerate gameplay mode.

As someone who dislikes FTE as a concept and views it as a bandaid for the core problem that the content is too easy and slow to respawn, good. I hope a server with actual contention stresses the idea.

Writing an overview for a show without knowing what it's covering is presumptuous. Watch Games Workshop and Henry Cavill convince Amazon to develop a show that doesn't cover the Horus Heresy, Tyranids, Orks or even include the Imperium of Man. They instead opt to cover the noble Thyrrus, with...

A WH40k series done in pseudo stop-animation ala the Lego movies might be pretty good.

I figure I should start posting some spaghetti from my Space Exploration build. Below is my first attempt at Bio 1/2. It's terrible. I love it.

Just got off the phone with JChan, below are the server rules Free-trade Semi-random loot, each rare has a 50% chance to drop their normal loot table or a random one Global spawn rate is doubled AA and level increases will be delayed for 3 weeks after a new expansion is released Recommended /...

Yeah I'm halfway through book 1 and am waiting for an expansion of the universe or characters that makes the series compelling. One way I consider fiction stories is looking at the core ideas that the author needed to get out of their mind on paper, and I find myself really enjoying series when...

Will definitely be interesting to read about how SpaceX will prep for a moon landing of Starship in a few years. I wonder if they'll have a space satellite with some sensing capability identify A+ spots, and then land shit in those spots to pick out an A+++ one. Beyond evenness of terrain, soil...

My take was a bit different, that person's game seemed extremely different from mine, from plot to combat to character builds.

I have many fond memories of playing State of Decay #1, driving around my shitty car and hitting zombies with the door or running them over.

Interplanetary pollution. Definitely pollution. The red parts have pollution in them. I've turned my planet (Shennong) that provides Vulcanite into a forge world. Factorio, Space Exploration mod.

Sony is getting shellacked for this strategy. https://www.wsj.com/business/retail/sony-shares-drop-by-most-in-two-years-on-weak-outlook-for-playstation-5-gaming-974797cc Helldivers being their first pc simultaneous release and being a massive success is a great example to follow

Anyone use any of the coop mods (ex: Seamless Co-op ) recently?

I'm not in love with it, but it's a refreshing change of pace from the very overt storytelling in most games where the player is constantly reminded in the plainest terms what the lore is and how the quest they're on is involved with it.

Elden Ring makes sense as a story about a cosmic power struggle in the same way this painting portrays temporal decay. Or something.

Brother, she killed herself in order to spiritually inhabit a doll. She's a degenerate.

No, you're definitely in the majority. I bet fewer than 1% of people who beat Elden Ring could cogently explain the story, and I'm definitely in that 99%. It's like everything else in From soft's souls games, if you want lore you have to either earn it or watch youtube videos to figure it out...

Rendering judgement upon an Elden Ring DLC's story after watching a trailer is pretty foolish.

First, who specifically is complaining about the game being too easy? Second, because this community (and many others) enjoy breaking games, and some of us enjoy when a game all but requires it to be broken to be beaten.

@Bandwagon

in what fucking world would I watch a tiktok about an internet forum to evaluate @Ossoi of all people.

I wonder how they'll balance ng++++++ sweatlords steamrolling the content with their maxed out characters vs new rolls needing to grind to do DLC without sacrificing how important stats are.

Holy shit this is right up my alley.

I hear ToTK is best played on PC.

Trailer is A+++. I went from not thinking about elden ring in a year to wanting to day 1 this game. I'm thinking about rolling a fresh character for the DLC. Not sure if I want to roll one on DLC release, roll before, or wait until it's been out for a bit to play. Whatever I do I'll probably...

That's one of the fun things about math. More so than a lot of fields, people understand mathematic ideas with wildly different approaches. And in some cases a preferred approach for someone is much more complex. And some people understand concepts at a deeper, more connected level where...

I've always thought of parry as being something of a uhm, showboating move. In most cases to parry effectively you have to really know the moveset of the mob you're facing so you can effectively parry during the window and at the right times. This becomes an investment that pays off in that you...

Ossoi isn't autistic and anyone who thinks he is probably does shit DPS.

Black Flag really is one of the all-time great games. I've never played Sea of Thieves or other pirate-type games (but have played a LOT of Archeage!) but I'm a little disappointed that naval combat isn't a more popular gameplay element in games.

I'd be tempted to truly save-scum (by backing up the old savegame files in your file system and restoring them). Would be interesting if instead of reverting from honor to custom mode on death, they instead had a running tally of times you reloaded or died. Really strict hardcore rules work...

Anyone here beat honor mode or get that far with it? I'll be tempted to give it a go if I replay BG3, though I doubt I'll invest the required effort to either use broken builds (if they exist...) or optimum paths. Especially since there will probably be new content I haven't seen and won't want...

I'm not a mathematician, but yes. If you've got a circle with a diameter of 10 inches, the circumference is 10 * π, which is an irrational number. If you've got a circle with a circumference of 42 inches, the diameter is 42 / π. You can either "maintain" its irrationality by keeping the pi...

Rotating ZEMs, Hotzones etc is something that would also address a huge issue in live EQ, which is a widely distributed playerbase. Here's something I posted a while ago about live EQ and hotzones: Step 1: Add Mischief style randomized loot to hot zone names as bonus drops. Step 2: Create a...

I enjoy drowning in confusion, so I enjoy it. I played Space Exploration + Krastorio 2 after doing a ~40 hour playthrough of vanilla and I am enjoying how I have to redo everything multiple times either because of my own foolishness or because of new tech is unlocked. If you really want to play...

Eh, not really. That's like, the 10th biggest question here at best. Biggest question is probably, "Can I make $$$ by selling this?". And the answer is yes. #8 biggest question might be, "Does this decrease the barrier to entry for creating this kind of content?" and the answer is most...

This was kinda done in the Boys to great effect https://the-boys.fandom.com/wiki/Doppelganger

What fence am I sitting on?

I don't dispute that it's hard to predict where AI videos or writing will go, but a video on how AI-created videos have evolved with Sora isn't a very compelling argument against how LLMs will have diminishing returns on producing high quality writing. What old nerds like us have seen...
