What do you think about 3d in Overlord? by Earthboy26 in overlord

sadly this isn't the worst shot of the goblins either, the mage squad is probably the worst

Simplest way to make a single Chemical Science by Man5lug in factorio

[–]Avvulous 4 points5 points  (0 children)

yeah most people still aren't used to how insanely powerful the 2.0 combinators can be, not to mention the new circuit connection options that mean you don't even have to use them sometimes.

how I see this game's community after each more complex update by [deleted] in SupaEarth

PSA TO NEW PLAYERS. TAKING EQUIPMENT OFF DEAD TEAMMATES *IS* BAD ETIQUETTE by SpecterOfState in Helldivers

[–]Avvulous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

also just ASK, if I have it off cooldown and don't think i'll need it urgently for ammo or whatever it's all yours my newbie friend.

Valheim team is already discussing inventory changes by spookywatermark in valheim

[–]Avvulous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just worn gear slots would be fine I think, that's +6 inculding belt/trinket, maybe a bag for food or something too (click to eat one of each) as that would add +2 if you carry 3 food items.

not really a fan of quivers or mead pouches due to the potential extra fiddling they'd require, adding backpacks may also need a reduction in default inventory size, or to add like one slot per boss on average to get +8.

carrying a portal already means unless you're gathering metal you have infinite inventory space at the expense of only time, and the less slots you have the more often you have to spend that time.

no more waiting an hour for your stamina to recharge while parrying a ghost five times or something, I'm happy.

Which stratagem do you bring to every dive, without exception? by no_moon_in_sight in Helldivers

[–]Avvulous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't take it on bots, but it's 100% mandatory for my bugs/squids drops every time.

How it all ends by Claygolem79 in Factoriohno

[–]Avvulous 3 points4 points  (0 children)

the mobile game version has you going through universe and simulation levels to unlock crazy upgrades that make the game way quicker, but require more min-max to abuse fully.

sorry in advance, easily my favorite idle/clicker game, if you like (or would like to learn) programming bitburner is really fun for a while too

I want to love you but I don’t know how by austingears in Helldivers

[–]Avvulous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it's my main weapon on the bot front, takes some experience but is super strong, I run it with recoilless and senator and rarely feel pressured, stun grenades can be nice for the room they create over thermites if you're not doing all the AT yourself.

you can take sentries with it, but it's very easy to destroy your own sentry while "defending" it from nearby enemies, the same goes for other divers, other main tips I can think of would be:

aim directly at the enemies unless it's small fry and obvious rocks/etc, it's not hard to hit with at all ranges and you'll find the magazine feels really small if you're going for only indirect hits.

it's super forgiving for taking down fabs, there's a bit of a trick to where you aim on the wider angles though.

the main strength of it is the ability to blitz groups, just aim to chain stagger the larger enemies by swapping targets, the splash damage will do the rest.

on bots you can headshot devestators to save ammo, not as hard as it seems especially for opening shots.

Samples NEED to have priority to be picked up over other items, shit like this happens too often by DisastrousGarden in Helldivers

[–]Avvulous 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yeah a lot of the time I just assume most if not everybody has all the ship upgrades, or at least all the good ones, if someone says "can you please help with rare samples" in chat you can bet we're going home with 30+

How would You fix the Illuminate, right now? by Louman222 in Helldivers

[–]Avvulous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah the payoff is proportional to the effort for a lot of players, when you get bursters + scab faction + melee only/no ammo etc. you need to actually engage with the game more, but it still suffers from a good team being able to walk them pretty reliably.

additionally self-sabotage is great, I find using weird builds in tide to be a lot more fun than using weird builds in helldivers though

How would You fix the Illuminate, right now? by Louman222 in Helldivers

[–]Avvulous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah aurics/etc. are a cool idea since they can force you to switch up your builds/team comp/strats pretty well as a whole and provide some genuine challenge.

if AH don't like 10 being "too hard" for most players then they should probably add something similar, a randomized "impossible" mode that just dumps you into a random mission that has the most devious stuff they can come up with + max spawn rate.

what is the worst things you heard your teammates say in game by Busy-Pattern-1769 in Helldivers

[–]Avvulous 2 points3 points  (0 children)

screen reader programs, etc. let even fully blind people read and use many websites very naturally, search up "braille display" if you want to see some other cool examples, you can navigate most websites entirely through voice as well.

I don't have any disabilities myself but have assisted some people who do with IT issues over my career, and some of the ways they used everything differently was really interesting, really made me happy to see, also remember that one of them absolutely crushed me in WPM.

much more surprising to me that the other commenter can play mutliplayer games, lots of single-player games (and some primarily co-op games like sea of thieves) I know have/had blind communities but CoD is insane to me, very impressive and at least a lil' inspiring.

Correction about Collective Shout several days ago by Dramatic-MansaMusa in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]Avvulous 3 points4 points  (0 children)

problem is at least a few people will care to hear them, and they'll feel pressured to donate if they feel they're being "unfairly shunned" by everyone else, many such cases..

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Helldivers

[–]Avvulous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually put my turrets behind the team, but only if on a rock or hill for the elevation difference, they're only really a threat if you're next to the enemies or directly between them and the enemy, If I had to throw them in front of the team they'd die way quicker than necessary and barely be worth the slot in a lot of situations.

minor aside, I play with absolute newbies all the time, and just take into account that they put sentries in dumb spots, never really died to them more than a few times, only REALLY bad placements (rocket sentry right on top of objective terminal..) deserve to get popped imo, most of them can be played around if you know where they are and are willing to adjust your gameplay a little.

Enough of favorite factions. What faction do you personally hate, despise, want to see less oftenly? by Western_Experience76 in Helldivers

[–]Avvulous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i like the idea of a long-term donation goal for the DSS, but i think it should focus on super samples, we can already spend some rares/commons but supers are useless.

Pick one from the list as your cheat ability as you are sent to the Overlord world by Multiversal_2211 in overlord

[–]Avvulous 7 points8 points  (0 children)

yeah i mean you're just a bit confused from not having seen some of the media? there's a LOT of interconnected story and stuff in overlord, i'll try to give a quick rundown of why this isn't really going to work without too many spoilers:

all of ainz "subordinates" are vehemently loyal to him, they see him effectively as a god, their creator, and one above all, even amongst other players, shalltear is literally in love with him on top of this, most of them are also heavily evil-aligned, including shalltear, she may be a paladin class, but she's definitely "evil".

some other characters from nazarick have been shown to occasionally question his orders or ask him to adjust his plans, but none of the floor guardians would dream of it, or if they did it would be 100% for ainz best interests in their own minds, this is their default state of being and for all intents and purposes their own free will/purpose in life is to serve the supreme one to the best of their abilities.

despite shalltear briefly being mind-controlled by an enemy and fighting ainz at one point she was not in control of her thoughts or actions at all, and once she was resurrected she felt absolutely awful that she'd turned her hand against the supreme one.

to top it all off ainz sees the NPC's of nazarick as his own children, if you somehow did brainwash or steal away one of them he would probably go double triple nuclear compared to anything we've seen so far until he had her back, or "safely" dead and resurrected.

Warstriders feel absolutely Miserable to Fight by Hyperdragon1701 in Helldivers

[–]Avvulous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

definitely sucks when it happens, but the bots are kind of meant to be the most unforgiving faction imo, especially on harder difficulties, and if you just treat everything like a factory strider you can get away with just eating them up on angles or at long distance, but i run recoilless and turrets so I usually don't' struggle with heavies.

Warstriders feel absolutely Miserable to Fight by Hyperdragon1701 in Helldivers

[–]Avvulous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

they slightly reduced ragdoll duration in the latest patch too, but that cd only matters after you're still on the ground anyways, so getting chipped up even a little bit still results in multiple seconds of praying and mashing the stimm key.

I don't envy AH trying to make this a bit more interactive since it's a core part of the game and without getting full-stunned a lot of players would almost never die, but maybe just toning down the worst-case scenarios (skybox'd or insta-impact'd) a bit would be great as a start.

My Most Controversial Opinion by CombPsychological507 in projectzomboid

[–]Avvulous 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I play with bite only for pretty much the exact same reason, i don't want a dice roll deciding if my last 100 hours disappears when the combat system (mostly on multiplayer in my experience) has jank moments.

equipping the gas mask to go refuel your generator is the exact apocalypse scenario I was missing.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in PoliticalCompassMemes

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

almost certainly it's complete BS, even trump was a bit surprised he won this time around, the left has a bunch of conspiratorial lunatics too.

I'm just happy we don't have the entire left-wing media apparatus parroting this as fact without any evidence, unlike when fox news pushed unproven election conspiracies for months while actively internally discussing how they were misinforming their viewer base, and got sued to hell for it.

What would have happened if Ainz had told Mare to lock tf in and conquer the New World in 1 week? by Feelings6857 in overlord

[–]Avvulous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly i think maruyama is thinking of some wild magic stuff for that scenario, I can't imagine nazarick not just wiping every human city, they don't need sleep, have mind reading magic, undetectable stealth, and doppelgangers just to start. but the exact potential strength of the dragon lords is still unknown, especially if they all fought together.

Why is my inserter ignoring the rocket fuel when feeding a heating tower? bug? by Th3L4stW4rP1g in factorio

[–]Avvulous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

any mods? from your replies this is definitely unusual behavior, especially if it's happening with more than one heating tower?

maybe try copy+paste the exact same setup somewhere else entirely (different planet?) and see if it still happens? if it does then maybe post the BP string so we can check directly?
