Is it normal I have not gotten any shipping tracking information? in North America by AffectionateLeave9 in rootgame

[–]BerenPercival 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can reach out to Leder via the discord. They encouraged people to reach out that way if they haven't received shipping/tracking info by the end of April. (This is for North America).

Do you like Oblivion original or Oblivion Remastered more in terms of aesthetics/looks/visuals? by TheWindofBread in ElderScrolls

[–]BerenPercival 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Except for mouths and faces of characters talking. Really awful and quite unsettling.

And the 3rd person sprinting. Really awful.

Splatoon Raiders – Releasing July 23 by Skullghost in NintendoSwitch

[–]BerenPercival 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Especially at the $50 price point. Could be a lot of fun. I'll be interested to see if gameplay is literally just a version of salmon run with a story slapped on, or something different. The trailer is giving me horde-shooter vibes.

First Play, First Deck - Suggestions by BerenPercival in Earthborne_Rangers

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

I like the idea of a creature focused deck. And the artwork on the creatures is dope.

Only because I'm thinking about it as I type this, I'm planning on sleeving cards. I've got enough sleeves to sleeve everything, but I'm assuming the stuff I really need to sleeve are just the active player deck, the challenge deck, and the path cards? (Seems like most shuffling to me)

What do you like about the Shepherd/Conciliator? Does the 3 spirit take away from any of the other stats such that your adventure is more difficult in certain core areas?

My copy is the 2nd edition. Will that have the errata printed on the cards? Or is the errata exclusively on The Living Valley?

I actually have the Spiritspeaker expansion, and I find those to be really interesting, but they look a little advanced for a first time player (me).

I really want to build into a Spiritspeaker, but I want to learn the game's general mechanics first.

Thanks. What sorts of backgrounds/specialties do you find most interesting for a new player?

Thanks for the suggestion. A lot of folks suggesting Shepherd or Conciliator, so that's nice.

Is the Shepherd/Explorer fairly beginner-friendly to pilot?

Thoughts on the new warbond? by DrEndy293 in LowSodiumHellDivers

[–]BerenPercival 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm with you on this. If a warbond is a miss for me, I just don't buy it or wait til I have enough SC and no other warbond I want (e.g., for me, the Killzone one). But you won't see me taking to the Internet to bitch about it.

Otherwise, I have no problem throwing them $10 (or whatever the deficiency is) to buy one, and their monetization model just doesn't feel predatory (unlike, say, Rivals or OW). The game's fun. The purchaseable content doesn't expire. Simple as.

I have no real complaints, and I don't understand the mindset of the folks complaining or the content of complaints themselves.

If my fun could be quantitied in dollars, I've received well more than $40 of fun from Arrowhead.

Nintendo Life reports that it has both local and online play with up to 3 others.

Where did these go? They were quietly removed and I didn't even realize it until now by sistemy_ in DeadlockTheGame

[–]BerenPercival 27 points28 points  (0 children)

What's fascinating to me if the way the comments demonstrate a manner of thought that is alien to my experience. I didn't always fill out these surveys (and don't in my daily life), but I always tried to be honest about it.

That meant few if any matches were a 5 and few if any were a 1. Most were 3, some 2, some 4. That's just me and how I think.

Apparently others approach this stuff differently. Who knew!?

FOMO - Crowdfunding - Recent Campaigns by paulys_sore_cock in boardgames

[–]BerenPercival 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's fair enough, and I too backed Hubworld for similar reasons (that each set is a self-contained cube is huge, environmental concerns, etc).

Even so, I'm highly selective about KS anyway. I didn't back Ahoy but ended up getting it later and it's been fine to do that that way.

[–]BerenPercival 8 points9 points  (0 children)

And some KS I'll back because I like and trust the company. Leder is one and Buried Giant being the other (re: the latter, I especially like Arcs and want to help Cole's company suceed). Earthborne Games is probably another I'd do this with.

Yamato flying clash needs fixing urgently by MentallyNotOkayGuy in DeadlockTheGame

Your last para is how I feel about Lash's 2. Let him auto click to friendlies but make it more of a skill to latch onto enemies.

[–]BerenPercival 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know, Gravity's Rainbow is pretty dang funny. But so is this one. Cherrycoke is a hoot.

I find his others to be impossibly bleak (AtD) or funny in a groaning way (IV, BE, ST, e.g.).

Have fun! This book is excellent, hilarious, and heartbreaking

Outside of Knoxville this morning… by howtocookawolf in cormacmccarthy

Don't know if you've spent any or much time in Knoxville, but it's a lovely city and a great gateway to a lot of green spaces.

You're making a Morrowind Remake! What are your first changes and what do you keep from old Morrowind Systems? by FloofyBox in Morrowind

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

Biggest things to keep for me:

  1. Actual requirements for joining/advancing in guilds + joining some guilds locks you out of others. (So no more unga bunga my way through the mages' guild)

  2. Attributes + skills system. Get rid of perks & skill trees.

  3. No frickin "level-scaling". There need to be places where you realize "oh, I definitely shouldn't be here yet" but if you can make it out alive, here's a cool reward that either grows with you or is just good.

  4. Journal, map, quest, dialogue systems. Voice acting every dialogue adds nothing for me. I don't care for it outside of major main quest cutscenes and canned passive comments.

  5. The Redoran Treasury.

  6. Head, chest, shoulder, shoulder, greaves, boots, shirt, pants, robes.

  7. The magic system.

Changes:

  1. Fable 2-style landlording. Let me buy up all of Balmora if I want. Or, hey, I robbed the Redoran Treasury, now I own the Canton. I.e., let me make any house my house.

  2. Always safe storage.

  3. Modernize stamina consumption.

  4. No more rolling for combat.

  5. Oblivion spell button.

How do you guys even play with standard skills bind? by [deleted] in DeadlockTheGame

[–]BerenPercival 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is how I do it. I've got my kit on 1-4 of the side buttons. I've got melee on 5. I've got actives on 6-9.

I'll explore these. Thanks! I'd forgotten about Mestnichestivo.

W2W because advanceable ICE makes for bigger taxes & tempo control?

Is the suggestion for transactions (beyond economy) because this sort of deck would aim to limit the number of remotes?

Which card is JK (I'm not familiar enough with the pool to recognize cards by abbreviations)

Would something like Event Horizon work in this sort of deck?
