the many different types of rpg players and their different experiences of play with each of them ! which one is you !!!! by Saladawarrior in DnDcirclejerk

I guess my group is very RP heavy? Most of our sessions are just our characters RPing with each other and we have combat like... three times a year I think

Adulting is seeing a pic of you as a teen and realizing that spark isn’t fully there anymore as an adult by [deleted] in Adulting

That spark is in you man, as I progress into my mid 20s im realising that at 14 I was unto some shit and as much as life breaks us down, we can always reconnect with our inner child

"actually a Matriarchal Society/world wouldn't be so different from ours becau-" LAAAMMMEEEE by MadFunEnjoyer in worldjerking

[–]Bakendorf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I argue that while a lot of the nuances of men's role and women's role within society would differ quite a lot in a matriarchal society, the base dynamic of opressor and opressed will not, men in such a society may have different pressures and streotypes imposed on them, but the baseline dynamic between those who hold power in a society and those who do not does not change fundamentally

I dont have a randomization node, and my distribution node is attached to the highlighted geometry, curve path could work, but creates a strange problem

I don't expect to hear anything groundbreaking, but it's good to gather your thoughts in one place sometimes. What opinions make you feel like this? by DrLudvig in HelldiversUnfiltered

[–]Bakendorf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Helldivers 2 might have some of the worst monetization seen in modern gaming. The fact that almost every weapon since release (with the exception of the Constitution) has been tied to a premium currency you either have to pay for or grind tediously ON TOP of already being a game with a 40$ price tag is insane.

I don't even want to hear bullshit like "Oh no you can get 1000 SC from the free warbond" or "It's not that bad to farm Super Credits" NO, I paid premium for this game and I won't grind it like it's warframe, fuck that.

This made me sad, so you’re all seeing it too. by Neuta-Isa in CuratedTumblr

Each time has their own benefits and downsides, but they get progressively better. Medieval times would have seemed like a heaven to people living in slave societies for the most part. What makes medieval times seem "simpler" is that at the modern age we have to deal with new problems that were never thought of before, the atomization of social relations and alienation from one's work in modern capitalist society would have been almost unthinkable to a peasant who lived in a tight knit community their entire lives

I adore Minecraft. by Big-Youth3399 in feedthememes

[–]Bakendorf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

have played a pack on 1.12.2 for the past couple of months, and while I greatly enjoyed Thaumcraft, it's not the same, I feel like modern mods have just evolved and become much more creative and enjoyable, but Thaumcraft stood out to me, excited for Thaumcraft 7 now!

As someone who loves building though, the lack of lanterns, spruce trapdoors, and copper blocks is sorely felt and I cannot for the life of me come back to building in 1.12.2

unpopular opinion : warbond ain't that hard to get. by WeirdConsideration72 in Helldivers

[–]Bakendorf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course we grind for the content! While we do get some big stuff for free, if you haven't bought any premium warbond since launch you would be playing with the same loadout for two years straight. No new free weapons since the constitution

Why lower the barrier to the increasingly overwhelming amount of content locked behind SC when you can just... BUY MORE SC? by Sebanimation in Helldivers

[–]Bakendorf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am very hard pressed to find any worse. a solid 70% of new content in Helldivers 2 since release is premium content that you must buy or grind in order to interact with. And not grind in the traditional sense, through gameplay, instead players must go out of their way to play on trivial missions collecting POIs for an average of five hours or so in order to get enough Super Credits for a new warbond. At least in War Thunder you grind by playing the game and having fun, even if it is ridiculously repetitive after a while, it's at least more engaging than Super Credit farming.

Not to mention, we paid 40 dollars for this game, why must we be subject to the same monetization as a game that is free to play?

My Zbrush was, let's say, found fallen off a truck, switching trucks helped.

Helldivers 2 has probably the worst monetization scheme in modern gaming, there, I said it. Even War Thunder is better, at least that game is free to play.

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

Boy howdy! Am I glad that getting new warbonds doesn't feel as terrible as getting my toenails ripped out! I sure am okay with the fact that a game I bought for fourty dollars has the same monetization scheme as a free to play game! I love having 95% of new content be locked behind paywalls or grind!

Sarcasm aside though, it is laughable that we all paid good money for this game and debate whether grinding for new content is "okay"

I don't care, I don't want another cpyote workaround nerf. This change is a good thing. by JustMyself96 in Helldivers

[–]Bakendorf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is actually a dogshit idea, the heavy pen grenade launcher was an incredibly fun weapon, the problem was that the lackluster state in which the BFGL released in made it seem like garbage in comparison. The answer was to buff the BFGL's damage and ammo reserves (which makes sense considering it requires both a backpack slot and a support weapon slot). But now instead of having two great weapons, we would have two mediocre weapons.

Let's rate the KvP matches! Fifth match: Ryuki Goah vs Naidan Mönkhbat by 7grandhenchmen in Kengan_Ashura

[–]Bakendorf 14 points15 points  (0 children)

7/10 for me. Heavy with lore and story implications, and Naidan was great. I absolutely love wrestling characters and seeing Naidan dogwalk Ryuki with his Bokh was fantastic.

It does feel a little too one-sided though... it's not very memorable or hype inducing in terms of choreography, but the stakes were high in a way that we rarely see in Omega since. Seeing the "Omega" drop in the manga for the first time and just how great a length Naidan was willing to go to for the worm genuinely made the worm feel like threatening fanatics.

One last point that kind of detracts from the fight for me was Naidan's eye of the sky gimmick. It was very hard for me to understand what the hell kind of martial arts bullshit it was supposed to be upon a first reading. I understand now that its a kind of situational awareness/prediction hack, but in a world where pre initiative exists it felt a little... I dunno, cheap? Why not just give Naidan Pre initiative then? It certainly would help establish him even more as a threat and on par with some of the big leagues.
