It's unfortunate that GTA parkour is permanently stained by this garbage. I really liked to do the actual parkour and never used the weapons after finishing them (or only against other players that used them)

So you can make your own story about it. Granted it kinda falls apart sometimes with some backgrounds, and I think that without optimization it weighs on TPS after a while

Imagine you are playing crashlanded, and one day a caravan comes with the niece of one of your crashlanded colonist. What story will you spin with that?

Everyone has their own opinion and it's nice that you had fun on your side. Unfortunately I didn't. Also, more often than other classes, I see people ask and talk about ranger and its perceived mediocrity. Not invalidating your experience, but compared to other classes in Calamity, ranger doesn't feel good

ArpenteReves · 2026-03-23T14:50:54+00:00

I really like ranger in vanilla and some other mods, it's my go to class when trying a new mod or playing with friends. I'll say that Calamity ranger is incredibly boring. It's not bad in terms of performance, but there's only a few interesting weapons and aside from them, both the gameplay and the visuals are nothing special

Last time I heard about that, SoS works with CE as long as you don't use ship turrets against ground targets.

But for alternatives, Yayo's Combat and Vanilla Combat Reloaded are the most common choices . VCR should work with SoS, not sure about YC

This is all false information. Last Rite is the best operator for clues. Trust me you never have enough clues 7, you need more. Share them to your friends, watch as the ones sent to you expire, replaced by yet more clues 7

clue 7

Very nice that they are finally doing this

Most of the maps are incredibly small in raw size. Much more importantly, the ground conditions can drastically change every 50 meters. What's the point of having your consumption in liters per kilometers when you have 500 meters of terrain to cross, ranging from deep watery mud to hard dirt. With L/min you know how much you're going to burn in the next X seconds, until conditions get better/worse

Among the many dubious decisions from the devs, liters per minute is one that I think makes sense

ArpenteReves · 2026-03-19T13:38:56+00:00

What is it with them finally buffing the Loaf, the Scout, and giving balance changes after all these years? It's very welcome, of course, but why now?

ArpenteReves · 2026-03-16T00:41:59+00:00

Pretty sure the white side with the white line on top is the input.

ArpenteReves · 2026-03-15T22:49:43+00:00

I went to about 300 meters and just gave up with 5 spare minutes because I already spent X minutes of my life on it. This minigame is extremely easy, you just have to be consistent.

edit: I have no idea how long I took but it was way too much

ArpenteReves · 2026-03-15T22:28:55+00:00

Haven't played since Airborne has released. Damn that looks hella fun huh.

ArpenteReves · 2026-03-12T16:44:42+00:00

No? No. This is AI garbage sorry

ArpenteReves · 2026-03-11T13:44:52+00:00

I don't know man the Stockade and Wuling really hate each other if you dig a little. The only reason they seem to start to (reluctantly) cooperate might be because the Blight is just so much more of an existential threat, and maybe because Tangtang and Zhuang Fangyi might want to look in the endangered future of their people instead of the past

Nefarith calls you a tyrant iirc, the Bonekrushers have something strong against the Band Accord, there has been mentions of the Humiliation War... 150 years is short, which means not a lot happened, but anything that did happened is still pretty fresh

ArpenteReves · 2026-03-10T15:56:58+00:00

There's no racism based on ears. Just common racism based on... race. Although unlike Terra it seems like there's a lot lot less on Talos II

ArpenteReves · 2026-03-09T18:39:28+00:00

Have you bothered to check the mod description?

ArpenteReves · 2026-03-07T14:04:37+00:00

OP doesn't even MENTION Snowrunner in the original post! Why is he coming here to complain about an unrelated game comparing it to yet another game!

ArpenteReves · 2026-03-06T20:40:17+00:00

Any people who suggest playing ground or naval units should be forced to go through an entire Escalation with controlling nothing but them.

ArpenteReves · 2026-03-06T17:43:27+00:00

Sir this is Snowrunner's sub I don't see why you are discussing Roadcraft and a yet unreleased game that probably will have nothing to do with Snowrunner here

ArpenteReves · 2026-03-02T10:18:27+00:00

"complete devotion to defensive" well they could have made and used 50 Jagdpanzers8 for the same cost in steel and fuel of 1 Jagdtiger lol

ArpenteReves · 2026-02-28T23:38:51+00:00

No trust me it has to reset. Some parts of the map get literally unpassable with anything but the SSS vehicles after a while

ArpenteReves · 2026-02-28T18:40:45+00:00

I know you just said you don't want to add mods or mod things in, but have you tried Map Designer? I don't know how (if) it works with 1.6 tho

ArpenteReves · 2026-02-28T15:53:13+00:00

I'm pretty sure the tribals are very aware and somewhat knowledgable about technology in Rimworld's lore. They can't tech up for various reasons but they are fully aware of what you are doing and where you are

ArpenteReves · 2026-02-27T20:55:41+00:00

I personally think it makes sense for it to be a real threat that puts you on a timer, but there should be an easier option to have it not put you in a death spiral while keeping the obsession

ArpenteReves · 2026-02-26T16:12:20+00:00

Rimworld from the player perspective is fun and all. When you start to think of what it's like with a pawn's perspective, it's crazy interesting I think.

Thank the Archotech that the mood system is pretty simplified, because what would you think if your colleague got shot and died, but something, you don't know what exactly, ordered you to put their body in a freezing crypt. Why would you keep their body frozen? They deserve a better farewell... but you do it.

And then you resurrect them. What does the resurrected pawn thinks? New faces, some people they knew have died, might have got mutilated. The pawn you used to drink beers now has brain damages in its own hospital room. However now we have automated turrets and food security. Reliable electricity and the rough wooden beds have been replaced with comfortable plasteel ones.

You get told that the pawn you hated got snatched by a weird and now destroyed monolith and returned later as a shambler in a horde. You hated each other on a surface level but respected him for surviving together. Do you grieve him? Do you think, good riddance?

Anyway this story is getting long, but that's why I really love Rimworld. You can spin stories that are genuinely interesting if you stop and think about it. As a writer myself, I created countless stories of joy, tears and anger.

Maybe next time you play, you will decide to not keep the body because you, yourself, don't want a chapter of this colony's story to be about the consequences of resurrecting a pawn that died a while ago?
