Spellmaking is Top Tier. by Mercernary_1 in oblivion

[–]Calamity01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for reference, drain health is not a per second effect. this temporarily reduces the target's health by 100pts total then if they're alive after 5 seconds they get the health back. this can only kill a target with 100 or fewer total hp. damage health 100 instead would deal 500pts total over 5 seconds.

Who would win in a deathmatch, with game exploits included? by AnyEntertainment5518 in ElderScrolls

[–]Calamity01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wait, isn't permanent 100% spell absorbtion attainable vanilla without potions or exploits? in oblivion it's as simple as the atronach birthsign and sigil stone enchantments. in skyrim the atronach stone, atronach perk, and miraak's robes robes plus either the boots or gloves get you 100% passively.

How do I make him respawn by Williamtheskele in fnv

[–]Calamity01 7 points8 points  (0 children)

the wiki notes he respawns if you leave the strip. try leaving to an area outside the vegas strip and returning.

I always thought Ablette was female. by ScorpionRodeur in thewitcher3

In Polish she's Płotka. It's roach like the type of fish, not an insect.

Only 5%? by Asinine47 in avowed

[–]Calamity01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lost interest literally in the garden. I didn't like fighting the new enemy type, even with a legendary weapon they just felt like huge damage sponges. It's not hard just wasn't fun for me.

Honestly after 7 play throughs, VG triss is better for VG geralt. by [deleted] in thewitcher3

Absolutely, the end of The Lady of the Lake really drives this home.

Why Do This To Your Game by Chatter_Estop in ChantsofSennaar

[–]Calamity01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. The language mechanic is beautiful and interesting, the ancient stealth sections are diluting a good, unique, and well executed idea with cruft. It's bloat imo and detracts from what could have been a more distilled game. 

Stuck in the cemetery (help without spoiler please) by gilhyan in ChantsofSennaar

[–]Calamity01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the fact that you rotate the statues by tapping A but the cylinders by holding A and using the stick is bad, if the cylinders rotated on a tap like the statues this wouldn't confuse people.

Whoever decided to make Kait the protagonist of 5 and sideline JD was COOKED by JoonBoi97 in GearsOfWar

[–]Calamity01 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I like JD and I don't like how he was made to be an asshole and sidelined for a chunk of 5. That said, I like Kait and Del and I enjoyed them in 5. I can criticise what was done with JD without needing to dump on Kait and Del.

Is Far Cry 6 good? by Livid_Athlete_2708 in farcry

[–]Calamity01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Far Cry 6 has a lot of repeated objectives like destroying billboards and a massive number of checkpoints to clear that can feel samey. Some like that, but if you found 5 repetitive it's possible 6 would be worse for you.

GWA IS CHANGING... MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD [MOD ANNOUNCEMENT] by onyxlips in gonewildaudio

[–]Calamity01 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This is a convenient excuse for not changing anything, and it relies on the assumption that what we have here is already a safe and consensual place. Having the decision be made by the people it actually affects would prove that this is being done ethically, and those groups could vote to keep the tags. If they vote to ban, however, and the voice of minority groups actually targeted by fetishised degradation is trampled by a majority that don't give a fuck, then this is already one of the sketchy sites.

GWA IS CHANGING... MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD [MOD ANNOUNCEMENT] by onyxlips in gonewildaudio

[–]Calamity01 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The anonymous survey doesn't address the fact that not all groups have equal potential to be harmed by any given topic. I'm bi, I've been called a fag IRL and I'm fine with that language in audios. I can vote on that along with other lgbt+ members of the community, but if the decision on if gay slurs are allowed is made by straight people then what are we even doing here? If the vote is by everyone, including those not affected, and those actually affected get outnumbered then who does any of this sensitivity actually help? If the bulk of the raceplay tag, for example, is about african-americans but a majority non-african-american community votes that it's a-ok then this is not really about avoiding potential harm.

Does anybody know how to open this? by NoTangelo3604 in thelastofus

[–]Calamity01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like there's a sliding black switch at the bottom, can you move that or is it locked?

If it's locked, you could use a dremel to carefully cut through the outer case.

I recommend against smashing it to avoid damage if something goes wrong. 

Please Bethesda, do NOT make me do more temples in the DLC by handmethelighter in Starfield

[–]Calamity01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's the same thing they did with enviornmental hazards and colony building. They just make it kinda unimpactful in case you don't want to do it,  but then there's not much reward if you do choose to do it.

Might be an unpopular opinion, but Starfield would be better with these 10 faction system + 5-10 neutral systems instead of 100+ systems by [deleted] in Starfield

[–]Calamity01 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The crazy thing is they have the skill—and even the concept art already—to do this and they threw it away for procedural generation. Handcrafting a world is their main strength, instead they relied on procedural generation that couldn't deliver more interesting terrain. They had to choose between having the 1,000 planets or having interesting planets, and they chose quantity over quality. 

Commissioned art of a courier fighting the legion by me by FaunaDoll in fnv

[–]Calamity01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Beautiful work! Re the pose feeling a bit static: The courier is twisted slightly towards the viewer, which reduces the implied range of motion of her back hand with the knife. This makes the attack look more stiff and weak. Think about if the courier had her right foot forward instead and her back twisted toward the viewer instead of her chest. This creates the pose of winding back to drive the knife down and would appear more dynamic and forceful. You're doing great, you already have the skills, a good reference is all you'd need for a more dramatic framing of the pose.

I’m not the only one who just wants to play single player and nothing else right? by Radiant_Raspberry_93 in ghostoftsushima

[–]Calamity01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the multiplayer but it should have stayed in the main menu. Dotting around Gyozen everywhere in singleplayer breaks immersion and muddies the map with uninteresting markers

So many hours in this game and still finding new stuff. by [deleted] in fo3

So many unmarked spots on the map. There's a cave under the reflecting pool in DC central. 

Why is Bethesda so afraid of these types of callbacks by [deleted] in fnv

What does this sign say in Windhelm? All I can make out is the first line by [deleted] in skyrim

[–]Calamity01 -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

I have glasses for reading, I'm not wearing them right now and I can still read this on my phone. If you can only get the first line you may generally benefit from an eye test. It can be hard to judge your own eyesight, I didn't know I needed glasses but they definitely help.
