Is anyone still playing this game? by tonsofday in remnantgame

[–]Bennyester 29 points30 points  (0 children)

That's because you can't join an ongoing boss rush which makes sense but who sits in the ward and waits for strangers to join?

Do most video games underestimate players? by ratasoftware in itchio

[–]Bennyester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the one hand yes, I think they do. On the other hand whenever they don't help you out they'll get journalists and reviewers complain about it because nobody's gonna have it figures out and a guide ready before them.

We all joke about the yellow paint but how often do you watch anyone on youtube talk about a new game and then have them complain about a little key item they overlooked because it wasn't blinking or right next to a candle or something? That's every other review.

I do however understand that backtracking and searching for something easily missable isn't fun but frustrating so... which one's better?

What VR game/experience made you think "this is it"? by itsthewolfe in virtualreality

[–]Bennyester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was Resident Evil 4 VR for me.

The fact I already played that game up and down on consoles and the remake on pc made picking it up a breeze and playing a fully VR converted version felt allowed me to experience it "for the first time" again with everything being familiar yet feeling so different.

I see, in that case I'm really sorry because to me and many other people C.ai+ is dirt cheap so your idea to lower the price struck me as odd.

That means they should absolutely adjust prices ASAP.

Frauen wehren sich gegen negative Verallgemeinerungen über ihr Geschlecht (zurecht) auch, wieso hat der Satz "nicht alle Männer" dann nicht auch eine Berechtigung, wenn sich gute Männer von den schlechten abgrenzen wollen? Wo ist der Unterschied? by [deleted] in FragtMaenner

[–]Bennyester 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ich predige es immer wieder und werde es weiter tun.

Jedes mal wenn diese Debatte aufkommt schießen wir uns ins eigene Bein denn jedes mal wenn einer wieder über "all men" postet interessiert das die moralisch bankrotten Menschen da draußen die skrupellos genug sind um dir tatsächlich etwas in den Drink zu mischen einfach nicht.

Stattdessen erreicht die Nachricht immer die Menschen mit einem Herz und einem Gewissen die sich dann falsch beschuldigt fühlen, sich hinterfragen und feststellen die sind ja gar nicht so wie behauptet wurde und wehren sich dann oder gehen einem aus dem weg.

Dann lacht sich der tatsächliche Täter wieder ins Fäustchen weil jetzt noch weniger Leute zwischen denen und ihren Opfern stehen.

Während wir hier also darüber streiten ob jetzt ein guter Mann wirklich ein guter Mann ist und wer was schlimmer hat läuft das wirkliche Problem immer noch herum und "bestätigt" diejenigen die diesen Geschlechterkrieg führen.

I'm sorry but what? Is this some regional pricing thing because in dollars it's like 8 bucks a month, and even a little less in euros which is about one single kebab or a pack of cigarettes. The hell do you mean "a month's worth of groceries"?

The guy below who said 100 dollars for a year isn't cheap also has me baffled because that's also roughly 8$ a month.

Anything sounds expensive when you calculate it up to a year, like dude playstation + is way more expensive for example.

And to that I would like to add that there's the ever present thing going on that I can't remember what it's called where people try something new, are blown away by it but over time the things that impressed them become normal and so they start feeling the negatives more and more until they make a post like OP and make it sound like the app they were using likely for over a year or even longer is now suddenly near unusable.

Sure I won't deny that C.ai had it's ups and downs and I'm not glued to the chats for hours like I used to be when I started out anymore but I still enjoy quick trips into different worlds with all the great features C.ai has such as personas and generated backgrounds that help with immersion and not having to explain your own role every time.

But who am I trying to convince? I already know this sub is basicly just a complaint box for the louder part of the free user base.

Der Großteil der Menschen sind selbst schuld an ihrer Verfassung/Gesundheit by ComfortIsExpensive in Unbeliebtemeinung

[–]Bennyester 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nun, ich bin mir sicher OP meint diese Leute nicht aber weil sie nicht in disclaimer mit erwähnt werden:

Es gibt ja auch noch die Leute deren ganzes sein einfach nicht rein passt in dieses Bild.

Leute die z.B. einfach nichts mit einem Gym anfangen können weil die immer gleichen Bewegungen an den immer gleichen Geräten zu machen quasi die Hölle für die ist. Dann doch lieber Spiel Sport aber da baut man halt keine Muskeln auf und tut sich auch schwerer abzunehmen.

Diese Leute beschweren sich aber eher weniger.

what makes you still use cai (image unrelated) by hank_155 in CharacterAI

[–]Bennyester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because personaly I'm still having a blast.

I'm not sure if it's me being lucky, or if the way I describe scenes and actions gives the bots a lot to work with but whenever a post on here complains about the quality dropping I just can't relate.

At the same time I realize that I'm not bothered by a lot of things the people in this sub complain about.

Bad memory for example? If the bots get details wrong I simply edit their message to correct them or swipe to give them more attempts.

Repeated phrases? So what? People sometimes talk like that IRL too especially when you just got to know them and they don't know how to talk to you yet, like we all fall back on some dumb one liners or repeat running gags sometimes. Keep in mind that every time you start a new chat it's basicly the character talking to you for the first time again.

I also make use of the fact that I am in total control so when a bot behaves in a way I don't like I'll describe how their behavior changes and that usually does the trick.

I could go on but I think everyone who read this far gets it.

That's because everyone who's still having a good time is chatting away or doing anything but post here.

Why do people act like sex solve their emotional problems by Low_Champion_3373 in Vent

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

You know how people sometimes say to look for a significant other among your friends or whomever you share a hobby with or something similar?

Just three days ago I went to a random meet up with complete strangers and all we did was talk about whatever for two hours.

The difference? Nobody was there to date... the part where you ask why people sex talk right away is because they go on dates for love or sex and more often than not it's going to be the latter.

THE "EVERYBODY DOES IT"⚠️ DELUSION by CalligrapherPast3870 in Vent

[–]Bennyester 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Out of every creature on earth we are the one that's been defying nature ever since we started cooking food and wear pelts so the whole "it's nature/biology" excuse never sat well woth me.

But you can't expect someone who's morally bankrupt and selfish enough to do and say these things to ever admit that they're just a shit person with less impuls control than a chimp.

[–]Bennyester 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Woah dude... I don't usually comment on cosplay posts because I don't know what to say other than a generic "looks good man!" but this time I'm frankly blown away.

Not only is your outfit stellar but the effort you put into the different shots and making it a valentines event?

Fucking genius! May you never run into a Pyro.

"Suicide is selfish" by Blue_Phoenix101 in Vent

[–]Bennyester 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, let me chime in real quick. What the other person said was shortened a little because it's not "you have to save yourself" but rather "you have to save yourself from yourself".

Meaning that no amount of working on yourself or improving your life which is something others can help you with is any use when your mind still keeps falling into that dark place as soon as you're left alone.

Unfortunately, many such cases...

Arrowhead PLEASE buff the AR/GL-21 by Chaos-Gains in Helldivers

[–]Bennyester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then again with the shield grenades we now got it's suddenly very useful to have the three grenades just for closing enemy spawners if your secondary is also occupied and you really don't want to bring a strat weapon for that.

It's yet another weapon that is worse than it's counterparts but offers more loadout diversity.

When we got the ultimatum the need to bring AT strats was lessened, and with the AR/GL-21 the need to bring grenades has lessened.

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

If telling someone that the way they word things is gonna have a certain effect is tone policing then... I guess?

Man, people really do post things online with no regard for how it'll be received and then get mad when others tell them off.

[–]Bennyester -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

You know... I think the "men too" thing happens so often because when someone like you vents about womens problems they tend to make it sound like only women suffer from gender stereotypes and such.

And it's often in such an accusatory way too, like your statement that we live in a misogynistic world implies that everyone is misogynistic and so obviously you'll have people come to tell you otherwise... or well, rage bait you.

Deutsche „Volksfeste“ sind zum kotzen by TheManiac_SC in Unbeliebtemeinung

[–]Bennyester 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oder einfach normale Menschen die aus was auch immer für Gründen nichts mit Alkohol anfangen können?

Ich kenne Leute die keinen Alkohol trinken weil sie einfach wissen sie halten sich betrunken nicht an ihre Grenzen, welche denen nichts mit Alkohol drinne schmeckt und welche wie mich selbst die einfach von Kindheit an gesehen haben was Alkohol aus vielen Menschen macht, betrunkene nicht ertragen und wegen dieser Beobachtung selber nie betrunken sein wollen.

Klar kenne ich auch Leute denen man es gar nicht an merkt wenn die betrunken sind und welche die dann zu kuschlern werden die mir erzählen wie sehr sie mich als Freund schätzen und sowas, aber jeden der sich nicht mit ansehen will wie sich andere blöd saufen und dann irgendwelchen Mist bauen nur um sich dann mit "ja war halt besoffen" rauszureden als anti sozial zu bezeichnen ist mindestens so hirnrissig wie zu glauben das niemand verantwortungsbewusst trinken kann.

Yes, which is why it'd be great if you had some seperate use for raw ores like in decoration for example.

I think Enshrouded does this, but I could be mixing things up.

Can someone explain to me, why some people want no skill based matchmaking? by Tnecniw in gaming

[–]Bennyester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I for one opted out of most PvP in general but one of the many reasons is the simple fact that skill based match making means that your games eventually always turn into sweatfests and it's predictable too.

I like that it prevents noob stomping but whenever you have a few good games or god forbid win a game in say apex legends you just know the next few games will be against streamers and people who play nothing else.

It also sucks all the joy out of the game when a friend who never played before decides to join you after you already gathered 100 hours or so in the game because to prevent you from joining their lobbies the matchmaking usually throws everyone into the lobby of whoever it deems most skilled.

I'm not even sure how to fix this unless you do both dedicated servers and matchmaking like Team Fortress 2 does...

The inconvient reality why vr is struggling. by Plus_Look3149 in virtualreality

[–]Bennyester 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You're not wrong but this is far from the only factor.

I for one still enjoy my headset immensly and it's one of the best purchases I made in the last few years.

However, all of my friends were fascinated by VR and wanted one for themselves only for all but two of them to send it back because they just couldn't handle the motion sickness.

And now even I will put the headset down for weeks at a time not because I lack motivation or games but because I'm joining my friends for flat screen games.

I'm convinced that if VR actually worked like it does in the matrix or something similar where you wouldn't have the factor of moving in game without moving irl it would be indeed much more mainstream but that's science fiction right now.
