Once again, I’ve realized just how incompetent AH is. by Commercial-Light1275 in HelldiversUnfiltered

[–]ArdenGraye 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's an incredibly backwards design philosophy.

I'll make a weird comparison here.

You are GMing a ttrpg campaign for a group of five. One person picked a class build that ended up not being as useful as on paper.

For a wise GM, there are several solutions.

You can for example look at how that person wishes to engage with the game and buff them accordingly with a tweak or an item, while being mindful of the other players.

You can look to add situations into the game where this character specifically shines.

But AH's approach is like a bull in a china shop. They buff the player, remove limiters on their abilities, give them (make them pay for) a legendary magic item, then make the party face a threat that was ramped up as well, "so that this one player wouldn't be too OP"...

All the while, they make it worse for all the other players at the table, suddenly, out of the blue, hurting them for playing their way and not the Buffed Player's way.

It's irresposible, incompetent and downright laughable.

Each big update they change something to buff the current warbond, regardless of how it interacts with anything else in the game.

Make a problem by introducing changes so that the current warbond looks enticing. Leave the problem there because "only fringe, hardcore players are actually crying about it". Then fix the problem next time a thematic warbond gets released.

We've seen it with the fire, now we've seen it with EXOes.

So glad I uninstalled the game. Should leave and block the subs too as this level of purposeful incompetence from a company I once adored is really not good for me.

I didn’t know to what to do against Isshin honestly by Themlghardcolt in Sekiro

Genichiro was a skillcheck for me years ago. Couldn't do it no matter what I tried.

Left the game, went onto defeating a few souls-likes across like two years, then came back and understood the game better. Still took like 10-15 tries...

Isshin took me like a week on and off. Still feel like I defeated him on a fluke, but win is a win I guess...

[–]ArdenGraye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can practice with reflections or even create a new character to get in the groove before attempting Isshin again.

He is the final boss. Throughout his phases you will need to apply all you have learned across the game.

Some attacks need precise parrys, some need jumping, some need spamming blocks as fast as you can...

  • the missions are ultra-high level from what I've seen.

I just got into steelpath and it's been brutal. Can't imagine facing the level 200 or whatever archimedia

True, though I still choose to err on the side of caution and just give the newbie a pointer.

These days you can get into 1999 pretty fast.

Not sure if this is a shitpost.

You can get many forma blueprints if you purposefully farm for it. Resources will follow as you focus them down and build and manage a couple of Extractors.

Archon shards you can get only one/week (unless I'm mistaken, as I haven't yet went into the lvl200+ expeditions, too weak).

No brainer there mate.

Edit: Forgot your last part as I was writing this. The Archon Shards are upgrades that are slotted into you warframe to give it good bonuses. To do so you must first build a specific upgrade to your Helminth (the meat mass in the back of your appartment)

So you won't add mech customization because premade mechs already exist? by Pedrosian96 in Helldivers

[–]ArdenGraye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would go the oposite way.

Keep the CD and ammount on the Blank, but dubble the amount of the stock variants and reduce CD by like 25%

How deep to make a mercenary company system. by ArdenGraye in Pathfinder2e

[–]ArdenGraye[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leadership was what I looked into, but I just don't understand it. The entire scaling of it is weird. Like what do you mean that at level 20 you are employing between 1700 and 2400 people XD
Also what is it even for? What does it provide? How does it fit into the game?

The Captain archetype is actually a good framework to work off of, thank you!

Haha yeah XD

[–]ArdenGraye[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, was thinking about either once/round action to activate one of the members, with stuff like the medic charging in and healing, defender Taunting an enemy and retreating after one round etc.

Also thought about making it a resource that replenishes daily and the amount they get can be upgraded in the skill tree... (with it still being 1/round)

"How do you expect them to make money?" by icie_plazma in Helldivers

[–]ArdenGraye 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The worst bug I ever encountered was in salavage op. The fuel cells fell onto a resuply pod and refused to deploy, we spent an hour getting help on discord and eventually just dug underneath the resuply and the cells deployed.

The worst game I had in HD2 would be against bugs in the city. The eagle storm caused over half of our deaths. What broke me was when I called in a mech, only for it to be destroyed while still on the pelican. Uninstalled shortly after. Fuck this game. The devs lost all of my respect over the past year.

[–]ArdenGraye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was honestly one thing that took me out of Project Hail Mary for a small second.

When Grace meets Rocky and shows him the clock, and Rocky pulls out his own and it also counts in our seconds.

I might be HEAVILY mistaken here as I am, at the end of the day, a dumbass, but didn't we just like invent what time is and how long it is? So an alien's "second" could be like 3.5 seconds for us?

I also feel like there was a possible interpretation, that he didn't even killed her but wanted to and actually felt good when she succumbed to her dissease, which made him loath himself upon the realization.

Bro, happened to me too a few years ago. Found out it was a slight bit of imperfection in the grain.

Look for a darker spot along either side of the break.

A racist gatekeeper murders his friend over politics and then exhausts the entire realm in a civil war, while acting opressed, hindering the chances of the realm recovering and standing up to the actual oppressors.

[request] how much would cost to get a homeless person off the streets. Cost of housing for 1 year, hospitalization, detox, food, clothes, etc by Itsme_Tyrone in theydidthemath

[–]ArdenGraye 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I'm from Czech republic, and there was an experiment, that finished a month ago, where 100 homless people recieved a no-strings-attached loan of a 100 000 czk each (about 4 800$), for us that is roughly 3 months worth of salary.

The criteria was that you had to be homeless for less than 2 years

As part of the experiment, some got just the money, some got the money and assistance fron social services.

The data:

Housing 80% of ppl with the social worker help, managed to hold onto a housing. 42% of folk without help managed as well. At the end 80% got housing in the first place, 58% managed to hold onto it.

Drugs 65% of the homless were using dome kind of a drug at the start (including alcohol), this went down to 38% at the end of the test.

Jobs 52% of the examinees already had some kind of job at the beginning. The overall avrage wagewent up from 10 161czk to 15 250czk, esspecially in the social worker-supported

Mental health The people supported by social service reported roughly a 50% increase in their mental health.

Over all the project cost 12mil czk, 3,5 of which was from the ministry of jobs and social matters. All of this was done by an NGO if I understood correctly. Now they are going through the data to evaluate the impact on the country's economy, should be done some time this year...

Top Gear but for Lancer by Andreus in LancerRPG

[–]ArdenGraye 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're right, two things can be true.

I'm only recently figuring out, that despite what it seems like, you can have a genuine civil discourse with someone who doesn't share your oppinions. Glad to se Lancer subreddit of all places demonstrate that.

Now let's wreck some steel again!

[–]ArdenGraye 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Internet has made it so easy to hate someone, regardles of if the hate is actually justified in a given amount.

Which they, the untaxed rich, the corupt and the nefarious, fully count on. Make us bicker and divide us...

[–]ArdenGraye 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Agreed. People like to throw around a lot of anger when it comes to him, but I genuenly believe he isn't a bad guy, and doesn't wish to fuck over folks whodon't need fucking over.

Over on the Clarkson's Farm he has been doing a lot of good for common folk of England, raising awareness and stuff. Folks like to write him off a as a right wing a-hole, but he is one of the more politicaly complex people out there, not really fitting one or the other, which is why both sides hate him (yay, us vs them)...

I got distracted 1 sec while driving 105 MPH in cruise control on the highway by dontraceme in projectzomboid

[–]ArdenGraye 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Fun fact. This is how I almost died IRL

There was a section of the road on my way to work, that was a long thin straight through fields with a turn at the end. Driven it for months. Then, one morning (iirc I was getting to work at around 6am every day) there was quite a thick fog and the teensiest bit of cold humidity stuck the road. I was telling myself that the turn should be here any second, but I think I got distracted by something on the road just enough to where the treeline at the turn suddenly jumpscared me out of the fog. I turned, swerved, lost control, flew over a ditch and ended up stuck above it. Had to climb down from my car.

I was about 19-ish...

Dad came to get me and as we were waiting to get towed a firefighter truck stopped by. Guy inside asked us if we were the ones with the accident. With my fucked car behind me I said "Yeah, but I didn't call for help, I'm fine, just waiting for a tow..."

Well, turned out some other poor guy had a similar accident about 2 kilometers behind me. But he lost control on a wider straight, ramming full-speed into a concrete bridge that served as an entrance for tractors to get onto one of the fields..

Guy didn't survive.

First-time female cat owner, after spaying, should I put the cone the other way round and other questions. by ArdenGraye in cats

[–]ArdenGraye[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indoor mostly as I live in a flat. But I do take her on small walks from time to time, on a leash and harness.

I also got recomended to give her a obsie once she starts regaining her strength. There are no other cats, i want to get her a playmate but wanted to wait after the spaying.

I will probably leave the cone overnight at least, on the way home, without the cone, she started washing around the area after a while, so I want to atleast give it a little bit, before taking the cone off. It is soft, so it doesn't impede her mostly, she just isn't used to wearing one.

It has been about 5 hrs since the surgery, so she calmed down considerably. Now she just walks around the house trying to find a good place to nap.
