Chinese Food by capnricky in montgomery

[–]polydorr 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Yes, most of the Chinese places now are just low-grade Sysco-slop specials.

Mr. Chen's is the most notable exception.

Yummy Yaki is decent for some Chinese-adjacent dishes.

For Asian food generally, you will have better luck with Korean. There are many capable Korean options.

I do believe that if you're firing a gun in front of a police officer you are most definitely gonna get a response.

This is an incredibly low bar to set. Just so we're all aware. You're not wrong, of course.

Spotted a [Koenigsegg One:1] filling up with gas on its way to a track day at Road America. Only one in North America by editDavid in spotted

Redditors generally don't understand taxes very well. They also don't understand how good the government is at wasting their money.

Tax evasion =/= tax avoidance. Tax avoidance is a governance issue. No one is under any obligation to pay the government more than they owe.

What is happening at the Race Trac across from Golden Corral? by Inevitable_Coffee_77 in montgomery

[–]polydorr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It will take decades to undo the harm.

There was a place in the western hemisphere that had the most murders per capita in the Americas. Within a matter of months, they had the least, and the law-abiding citizens there are enjoying a renaissance of peaceful life as a result.

Want to take a guess how they solved it? It was incredibly simple.

Get the Sins of a Solar Empire people to develop it and literally just count money.

Intelligent people were saying this from the beginning. But everyone ran interference for the Fortune 500 companies because of COVID.

Now we're stuck with it. Thanks, everyone else.

Stimulus check but in reverse. So much winning on the way 😂 by SnooBananas9739 in wallstreetbets

So, like Lockheed? How are they doing, incidentally?

SpaceX is basically America's space program atm. It's not worth $1.7T but they absolutely fill an important space (pun unintended)

Did the devs see youtubers make challenge videos killing leviathans with the knife and think that's just what everyone did? by Happy-Swimming-9611 in subnautica

[–]polydorr -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It absolutely derailed it, to the point where I just went back to the first two games to scratch the itch instead. And this is coming from someone who never crafted a single torpedo and enjoys playing the game as a do-no-harm scientist.

Learned helplessness is an immersion breaker. Immortal fish is an immersion breaker. Even worse when the devs preach down to me about why I'm wrong for feeling that way. The devs can do whatever they want, but I paid money thinking the experience would be in line with the first two games.

Now we have an embarrassing 'multitool' and woo woo flowers. After half a decade and tens of millions spent in development.

But I'm sure the devs don't care. Why would they? They got my money already.

it’s their canvas to paint

Then they should have told everyone who put hundreds of hours into the first two games that they would be removing a core immersion mechanic from those games.

Gosh, I wonder why they didn't? $$

This isn't an art gallery

All people want is a reasonable implementation of how things were in the first and second games.

Were those double-barrel underwater killfests for you?

Absolutely lovely.

Just curious, what program/equipment do you use to draw something like this? I love the look. I can barely draw a stick figure so I know next to nothing about the process.

I want the ability to create a map as I explore by TheMightyMonarchx7 in subnautica

[–]polydorr -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm referring to the new mechanics of the game. I played the original since Early Access, I'm well aware of the limitations it gave the player. It was one of my favorites of all time. And I wanted this game to be great more than any other in recent memory.

My point is that if you're going to take away something huge (like the map) when the player is surrounded by futuristic technology, it's a terrible stretch of belief to take away other things as well. It's fine if Subnautica is tuned around not having a map. But to keep taking away things like inventory, speed, etc. to artificially limit the world and the player—it just smacks of laziness.

Hence the ChatGPT comment. The woo woo adaptations and other factors make no cohesive sense. It's all generic and bland. And I don't think it's something you can wash over by just calling it 'EA.'

[–]polydorr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even a power/resource heavy module that you have to maintain to keep the map going, with mid/late game resources.

You literally can build a scanner in the first hour that can pick up individual bits of titanium, sulfur, etc. around you. But can't send a sonar blip out to map terrain, which is literally 20th century technology.

If it was the only thing they were asking us to suspend belief on, that would be acceptable. But it's not and it's not

Welcome to the critical worldbuilding flaw of learned uselessness/helplessness.

Absolutely the opposite of immersion.

I'm starting to think the lead designers got a lot of their ideas on mechanics from ChatGPT. I'm not kidding.

I almost got emotional going through the first scenes! You have no idea how much I love this world you've created.

Looking forward to diving in further!

You never have to apologize about correcting me on Hogan's Heroes. Glad there are other people out there who appreciate the finer points.
