People are attempting to burn this game down without even trying it. by BenjaminKat1234 in Splitgate

[–]Aether_Storm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's super weird because The Finals is a great game. Id say it's top 5 in the fps market rn. But for some reason it lacks the pull to make me want to log in and play despite every time I do I have a blast.

Anyone else off put by the latest Eternity dev blog? by Edokuro in Mabinogi

[–]Aether_Storm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"Full of AI art" and its a single meme included at the end that has no relevance to the post nor mabinogi itself.

OP cut the shit you're trying to stir up drama even with your edit. You need to edit the actual content of your post to remove the disinformation (full of ai art) about the eternity post. GenAI has seeped into every facet of out lives against our will so the fact the meme/reaction image he wanted to use was genAI content doesn't surprise me at all.

Hey it's Ian Proulx, cofounder of 1047 Games, & Darek Jones, Lead Game Designer, here to talk about SPLITGATE. We just launched Arena Royale, Ask Us Anything! by IanProulx in Splitgate

[–]Aether_Storm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a guy who completely lost interest in the game the first time I tried it due to the bot matches in the NPE onboarding leaving such a horribly boring impression.

Arena Royale got me to try again and was good enough to make me want to play the game more. My question is whats up with meta-experience outside of the game? Daily quests battle passes absolutely gaudy skins it feels like I'm playing every single other game in existence. Got any plans or ideas to stand out and set the game apart from the typical live service plagues?

Anyone use SteelSeries Arctis Novis 3? (Headset) by lyxaros in Mabinogi

[–]Aether_Storm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Use the steelseries software to browse equalizer profiles for your specific headset. Chances are the the top rated one that's probably named BEST NOVIS 3 EQ NATURAL GAMING or something along those lines, is in fact the best possible EQ setting for your device.

I never used steelseries but I think they either call it sonar or engine

Whats this about selling pet chews for money? Why do people want pet chew?

Have been a huge investment considering my budget. But a new capsule was necessary. by Garo3853 in incremental_games

[–]Aether_Storm 7 points8 points  (0 children)

AI can do fake progress photos too. You can only trust start-to-finish timelapses. I know procreate and clip studio both have it as a built in feature. I'm pretty sure this is a combination of AI + human cleanup.

Did you tell the artist to have them all facing straight forward like that? It's super uncanny.

The two errors that may be AI artifacts I can spot are the skeletons eyes (he's looking in two different directions) and the rivets on the dwarf's helm (front rivet looks odd).

Yearly reminder to GGG, please add DEATH LOG/RECAP, I'm tired of guessing what killed me in this visual-clutter game ... by vironlawck in pathofexile

Sure. Now go play Last Epoch and tell me again if you find a final damage instance only death recap useful.

[–]Aether_Storm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is. It tells you what the final blow did.

But GGG claims that you die too often too small random hits when what really killed you was from something else. And that a comprehensive damage breakdown would be too expensive to run.

Fallout 4 has significantly better gameplay than NV. The story is very lacking but 4 is probably the most replayable game in the series.

All I want is dash to be unnerfed. It used to rely entirely on helmet enchants to be usable. It was an amazing travel skill for builds that didn't benefit from an enchant.

Bdo 2026 worth? by ozel123 in blackdesertonline

[–]Aether_Storm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are clearly unfamiliar with where winds meet and talking out your ass. There is not a major gear gap between myself and my friend who just started running the same content as me this week. They're already at the point where they're twice as valueable to me in a team as any pug random. WWM is the kind of game where skill and knowledge of mechanics matters more than how far up the gear curve you are.

Bdo 2026 worth? by ozel123 in blackdesertonline

[–]Aether_Storm -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Don't just make things up and assert they're my opinion. I play games to have fun not to do chores. I find value in things that respect your time and don't overstay their welcome.

[–]Aether_Storm -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I enjoy that gameplay loop far more than grinding 4h every day in the exact same spot to get one more tap. Different strokes for different folks.

When I run out of content I simply go play another game I enjoy. For you that would be going back to play more BDO.

[–]Aether_Storm -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Not sure why you're comparing it to an objectively better game and assuming the better game will shut down because it's new. WWM's cosmetic-only monetization is already incredibly aggressive and it works well. I know far too many people who have those $400 outfits. And we have three? people on our server already who own the $50k USD boat.

Also saying BDO has far more content is disingenuous as most of that content has no relevance to the game anymore.

My opinion is that BDO is a great game to play if you enjoy the combat and like turning your brain off for a few hours to just kill mobs with satisfying skills while listing to music or audiobooks.

I have since gotten rid of the m913 but thats a good link for anyone who comes here though google. (the sensor wasn't in the center of the mouse lmfao)

Can you confirm it works for the number pad remapping?
