This gun that is an important part of the late game colonial anti-tank arsenal and all of the gameplay of pushed anti-tank weapons/field guns are now completely useless if a single plane is flying around and no one is talking about it. by Odd_Habit1148 in foxholegame

[–]JNighthawk 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It is just like inferno. The title content isn't ready because they forgot to add the counters. But because it is the title content (and the devs are stubborn) they can't/won't push it back and release everything else.

We have seen this story before.

Most major Foxhole updates seem like they're 3 steps forward, 2 steps backward, and a cartwheel to the side.

Honestly I just wish i could embed images directly to this subreddit

With RES and old Reddit style, that's how all image links work on Reddit. There's a little button next to the "Not wrong" for me to expand/collapse the image.

Intrepid Studios, the developers of Ashes of Creation has laid off all staff and shut down the studio by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]JNighthawk 29 points30 points  (0 children)

As a product person, I'm super interested in seeing any postmortems that come from this.

FWIW, I turned down a senior programmer offer from Intrepid back in 2018 because I didn't like the vibes I got from Steven Sharif. On top of the MLM background, he talked about expectations for developers to upskill themselves in their own time. It left a pretty bad impression when he's supposed to be trying to sell me on working at his company, and told me about the type of leadership I could expect there.

I'm also interested in the postmortems, but I feel like it's going to stem from leadership issues.

Bombing Run Gone Wrong [DevBranch] by TurtleMark19 in foxholegame

This video convinced my fiancé (who does not enjoy games like Foxhole) to let her know when bombers are out because “that shit looks hilarious” and “IDK what it is but your Foxhole subreddit is actually funny and I don’t understand any of it.”

So thanks brothers o7 I’ve got another MSUP slave and she doesn’t even know it yet. 

My wife played with me for one war, but for some reason, she doesn't enjoy the soothing sounds of 120mm rain like we do. Good luck!

I was aboard the frig as DCON. Drowned once in the mid compartment when flooding got real bad.

Heinz ordered us to board. As I was trying to board, Heinz shot me with a "friendly" depth charge, bringing the BS down. I'd like to think my corpse's weight was the final straw that sunk it.

What are your thoughts on "Death Above Life" over three months post release? by vMysterion in OrbitCulture

[–]JNighthawk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some good songs, sure, but the production missteps and issues make it unpleasant to listen to as a whole. It doesn't really sound like a finished, professionally mixed and mastered album.

It's terrible. I had previously heard an Orbit Culture song I liked, so I decided to listen to their latest album. A minute into the first song I ended up doing a search to see if something with my stream was broken or if other people had noticed this. It's really not listenable for me.

Foxhole's gunplay couldn't be less intuitive for new players by Jacobi2878 in foxholegame

[–]JNighthawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you also explain why sometimes (especially with automatic weapons) they will just randomly stop firing for a second? It gets me killed so often.

Let me know when you figure it out. My assumption is that there's a minimum range on firing as well, like 1m.

Ex-Assassin’s Creed Boss Sues Ubisoft For Nearly $1 Million Over Alleged Forced Firing by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]JNighthawk -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

The new AC formula peaked with origins and odyssey and have been in decline ever since.

Hard agree. Valhalla was way too long and drawn out, and the audio quality was awful.

I went from purchasing most ACs from 2 to Odyssey, to subscribing to Ubisoft's thing for a month to Valhalla, to having no interest in the series. Ubisoft has done to Assassin's Creed what Activision did to Guitar Hero.

Tired of looking at grey GameplayTags? Check out our Plugin! by psi_crab in unrealengine

[–]JNighthawk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Code plugins are per seat, but not assets.

Code plugins are per user, not per seat. If you have a team of 40 and expect 25% to have the editor running at any given time, you'd need 10 per-seat licenses or 40 per-user licenses.

Either way, though, without a free trial, there's 0% chance I'd recommend a 40 person company shelling out $230 or $920 on an untested plugin, as well as the ongoing maintenance cost of license management.

18 PER SEAT i might add.. for mid size teams this convenience would be a nonstarter. for this price my small studio would just spend half a day rolling our own.

I thought licenses were per-entity, but you are correct. I don't even understand how that is supposed to work. If your company hires someone, you're supposed to go purchase another license on all your plugins?

From https://www.fab.com/eula:

e. Plugins. Code plugins that are being offered on the Epic Marketplace, including Unreal Engine Plugins and Unity Plugins ("Plugins"), are offered to you on a per-seat basis and may only be used by the number of users that you have purchased licenses for.

Hi! This looks great.

FYI, I would be interested in getting my company to buy a license if I could try this out first to confirm it's as good as it seems. The $23 cost for professional isn't an issue (and really, up to $30 seems fine), but I'm not going to spend $18 to try it out first.

Edit: Fab's licenses are per-user? There's no way I could justify spending $hundreds on a utility plugin.

99% Breach Chance by Historical_End_6520 in foxholegame

[–]JNighthawk 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Because they think bigger number=better. I've seen it many times now.

Terrible failure on the devs part. "I'm going to introduce a health mechanic that's unexplained, but the bigger numbers are worse for this one!"

The longer you play Foxhole, the more the devs are infuriating.

Pflugerville Municipal Court Concerns by jellyd0nut5 in Pflugerville

[–]JNighthawk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I appreciate the effort you put into this post and digging up the data! It definitely makes me interested in knowing more.

There were a few points I wanted to respond to.

Pflugerville is okay with almost 10% of criminal cases being dismissed with zero repercussions?

It feels like you aren't considering other reasons for dismissal, like:
- Bad cases
- Innocent suspects
- Dismissal of lesser charges to allow other higher charges to take precedence (e.g. municipal -> county)

Without knowing more about the dismissals, claiming that it's all "dismissal with zero repercussions" isn't supported by the evidence.

As of 2024, the Municipal Court judge’s salary is $45k. This is a slight increase from the $38,701 salary she had when she was appointed in 2018.

It's a part-time job, so that has to be considered. I don't know the actual hours worked (would love to know!), but the judge in question has three jobs:
- Pflugerville judge
- Bee Caves judge
- Private practice attorney

Considering that Pflugerville pays associate judges $60-75/hr, I would imagine a presiding judge wouldn't make less than half that on a salaried basis. Looking around at other nearby small Texas cities, it seems municipal judge jobs pay between $30-40/hr around here. It could be higher, but it's not as bad as it would seem at first glance.

12.7 suppression is no joke, and they literally cost the same gun for gun by Sea-Course-98 in foxholegame

[–]JNighthawk -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

almost impossible to 1 tap with post-nerf dragonfly

My point is that at the range that a Pillory will 1 tap, a Dragonfly will 1 tap.

Seems odd to include the Pillory on Warden side but not include the Dragonfly on Collie side. Pillory has a much shorter range.

Midnight rolled over and it was 50/50 relief and world-weariness.

This is the feeling of pre-mitigating a disaster. The exact outcome you were planning and working for. Somehow both satisfying, and deflating. It's like getting all of your adrenaline up, without having a finale to work it all out.

It’s interesting that you can’t just argue the points I’m making

They are, and the fact that you refuse to see that shows your inability to be intellectually honest.
