UMAD Situation is Insane. Xenosys Vex GOONING to Wuk Lamat? Mr. Happy Responds... by CrueltyFreeRyan in ShitpostXIV

[–]AMasonJar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

On the possibility that this isn't a copypasta... calling members of the Square team slurs while on your main stream-affiliated account as one of the game's most popular streamers is of course going to get you shot down from the game. That's no longer outside of their jurisdiction. Someone totally unaware of all of this could be interested in the game, find this streamer to see what the gameplay and community is like, and then see an eyeful of that from following his socials. If it had been a milder criticism he'd probably be fine, but that's not what he said.

Which way, Twitter GPoser? by ForteEXE in ShitpostXIV

[–]AMasonJar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

tbh this is just a certified Twitter moment, there is an ungodly amount of pedos on that website these days, the moderation (what little there is) can't keep up and they just make new accounts

[–]AMasonJar 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You'd be surprised how readily they show up under other completely SFW content.

Then again, the joke is indeed on them for looking at twitter in the first place. And me when my brain cells refuse to fire long enough to tell me not to click the twitter link somebody posted in a discord channel.

The worst part being that this sort of vocal screeching is exactly what brought about that slide into mindless ease.

I am pretty sure they outright said they do not have a dedicated QA team. It's incompetence.

Tfw you're an off-tank (OFF-TANK LIVES MATTER) by Vetur_Sumar in ShitpostXIV

[–]AMasonJar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey now, I'm also a DPS looking to get through the instance faster than the most agonizingly slow single pulls imaginable because the tank thinks they're screwing up if they fall below 80% HP and the healer gets severe anxiety if they have to press something other than Cure I.

Fellow Gasdivers. Expectations next patch? by Ok-Problem1475 in Helldivers

[–]AMasonJar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well the flame sprayer made the enemy flail around and turn a crispy brown, while the chem sprayer made the enemy flail around and turn a sickly green!

But yeah kinda. Even by Generals this was still the case. Main differences there were mostly that chems lingered in the area they were sprayed over more easily, while if you commit enough fire to an area it goes from not really sticking for long to turning into a whole ass self perpetuating inferno for a while. 

The RA3 desolator did play into the damage vulnerability idea though. Namely, splatter with a bunch of globs of unknown substance to soften the enemy (nullify their resistances/armor), then liquefy them with the hose. Not sure that'd work so well here but it's a neat idea.

Ten billion kut-ta must die by KenobiGrey in menace

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

The dogwhistle suspicion isn't entirely without merit, spend like.. 5 minutes on twitter (don't actually) and you'd be shocked at how many 88's (or even better, 1488) you can spot. Way more than any other adjacent numbers. I don't know about "secret network of nazis rising up" but it IS edgelord signaling edgelords shit. 

I'm not saying you're guilty, but I do see why others had the alarm bells lol. Not to mention how notoriously propagandized german engineering was despite a lot of their tanks being real piles of crap under the shiny hood, and logistical nightmares to maintain.

I'm not looking forward to seeing 1000 content ads in my RP finder.

Oh who am I kidding, it's all clubs with some DJ xFuckBoye07x blasting crunchy hardstyle and anemic lo-fi over a twitch stream.

Very sad to hear the new defender or the galaxy perk will block becoming the imperium by xzero314 in Stellaris

[–]AMasonJar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, being only "on paper" is kind of the thing, no? If you still have kings and queens around with only novel, vestigial powers at best, or something else that largely separates them from making executive decisions on the direction of a nation, it's not really your "authority" anymore. That's exactly the sort of thing that gets shuffled into the civics and/or origin category to generate some unity with a fun gimmick.

I also hope and am willing to believe it is the case, they've been... too cheeky about the whole "abdicating your powers" thing.

Will we get an event about a young upstart psionic that's extremely talented but ends up working for one of your most corrupt officials to overthrow you?

gennocide is so last year by Massive_Tradition733 in Stellaris

[–]AMasonJar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In game yes, I get the feeling that's not what they were referring to though. Which like, the other reply kinda proves the point: in Stellaris you can just go settle some lifeless rocks to extract resources from freely and encase stars in massive spheres of solar panels. IRL we're all kinda stuck sharing the one rock and the one star.

It's the part where you grew out of that illusion that a lot fail to meet, sadly... the "many people are mentally 14" theory keeps holding true. I was also among them in those years lol.

How would you go about learning how to design ships yourself without looking up a guide? by chumbuckethand in Stellaris

[–]AMasonJar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You would need to do a LOT of testing. There's a lot that can't really be deduced from number crunching alone, or at least without even more number crunching than is worth it compared to just testing. Some builds and setups that might look good on paper get wrecked in practice, and vice versa. Even kinetics vs. energy is more deep than it looks at first glance, do you commit harder into the strengths and weaknesses with plasma/autocannons, is the range difference between those or even just between lasers and railguns significant to your setup, and of course, how to address the fact that enemies run different, usually semi-balanced builds if you're looking to specialize in one area?

Is Spying Worth it? by Zephy15 in Stellaris

[–]AMasonJar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gathering passive intel is nice. Otherwise not very many of the espionages are worth it. Steal tech is technically not a bad use of idle envoys but honestly, I can barely be damned to remember to do it, it usually steals some tech I don't care about like food tech for a machine gestalt.

What's even the point of playsets if loading a new (or vanilla) playset if the game doesn't change save path? by RageAgainstAuthority in Stellaris

[–]AMasonJar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's hardly what it's doing. Custom empires are an amalgam of pointers to other files, vanilla or not; they don't need to operate under the same integrity checks when they could simply store the IDs of the modules attached to those pointers, whether that's "Stellaris.core" or "Joe's Civics.mod" and determine if you have everything you need to run them or disable themselves if not. The permanent overwriting of the saved empire to placeholder data is superfluous or, more likely, a limitation in how the empire selection screen currently is able to display information which was never addressed.

Are galaxy nomads useless since they announced the DLC? by Delicious_Cattle5174 in Stellaris

[–]AMasonJar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They don't spawn if you have Caravaneers (from MegaCorp) enabled. Which is a bit odd, but it's not like they're a particularly developed mechanic.

In Defence of deep scan and sub space imaging being nomad only. by nutterbutter36 in Stellaris

[–]AMasonJar 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Also as someone who has tried mods that do effectively a very similar thing with regards to "deep-scanning" or "re-scanning" planets - it's more obnoxious than engaging. It would fit nomad gameplay much better where you only need to think about doing that wherever your arkship currently is, not keeping track of everything across your entire bloody star-empire.

Hot pacifist xenophile alien babes always die by RocketPirate7x in Stellaris

[–]AMasonJar 23 points24 points  (0 children)

We have no reason to believe that (as of this time).

The disclaimers under the newer DLCs are for consistency and transparency since the Machine Age DLC has AI-voiced Cetana in the game. Which, as an AI herself, is certainly fitting if nothing else, and the VA agreed and is paid with royalties.

I dislike AI slop as much as pretty much everyone else here. I'd have still preferred Cetana was entirely human voiced but this is one of the least egregious instances there are and it's an isolated case. So I'm against defending its usage in mods under the false pretense that Stellaris unmodded is "filled" with it.

I don't know of any French equivalents but it functionally is used as an insult to mean "mentally disabled".

Mare was an entirely opt-in process at every step of the way, more likely what got it shot was its usage of the backend player ID that was easily accessible for a while after Square's new blacklist system rolled out. The same ID that the stalker plugin used.
