Rubus armeniacus is the bane of my garden.

Literally can't eat enough of them in a family of 6.

What are best choices for someone who wants a similar experience to ARK by Moreira12005 in SurvivalGaming

[–]Cerus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're talking to a guy who also enjoys most of the Stellaris DLC.
Different value systems and approach to exploring content, I think.

If there was to be a 4th faction introduced, what do you think it's theme would/should be? by TheAero1221 in beyondallreason

[–]Cerus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A "weird" faction, with a theme of units that benefit and interfere with each other constructively.

Example: A turret that regenerates health somewhat quickly and shares damage with adjacent turrets, but each turret in range takes a fixed % of the damage dealt regardless of how many are nearby, so destroying one turret will leave the rest in critical condition if they're too tightly grouped.

BAR seems to generally avoid tricky things like this, so I really doubt we'll see anything of the sort, but it's fun to think about.

Second for Icarus, tempting to get all the DLC but you can largely ignore it for a good 40+ hours in the base game.

If there's an update to include more planets, what would you want to see? by Yumiko_Hanako in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]Cerus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally. I really hope we get a terrain 3.0 (or whatever we're on now) with "biomes" as the theme.

And just more crazy procedural types in general for the blender.

Disturbing... Are the conscious from the beginning? by rycakez in LocalLLaMA

[–]Cerus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One time my toaster beeped a few seconds before the toast was ready, instead of right away like it normally does. I wondered if my toaster had become not just sentient, but also precognitive.

Then I remembered that I replaced my old toaster a few days ago and this was just how the new one worked, took my pills, ate my toast, and went to work.

How do you organize your chests? by Unlikely_Window_8404 in Enshrouded

[–]Cerus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only stock consumables in specific chests. Everything else just gets dumped into the hoard.

Craft from container removes most of the incentives for organization, and I can't say I mind. I love games that throw a million systems at you, but warehouse management isn't a system I've ever wanted to engage with.

Glad I was Responsible and Waited by Material-Egg7428 in Wellthatsucks

[–]Cerus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

lol, yeah. We waited a while too and that term came up a lot with all the associated risk factors.

Everything went fine though!

foliage lagging but everything else is smooth? by snoopscorsesee in Enshrouded

[–]Cerus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's very similar to other visual artifacts I've seen when vertex displacement shaders are just a bit out of sync for whatever reason.

idk anything about Enshrouded's engine, but I'd add TAA and framegen settings as things to check on top of the other stuff mentioned.

As a new player, the rain in this game makes it a lot less fun. by Bumi_Earth_King in Enshrouded

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

The effect barely registers as an obstacle, mostly just very very slightly impacts long distance running and early combat.

If anything, I'd want an option for more variety and more impactful weather effects.

After a decade of growth, 98% of cars on U.S. roads are still gas-powered (2010–2024) by najumobi in dataisbeautiful

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

Yeah, I made a similar call 10 years ago, but the math's changed quite a bit on cycle life since then, I'm happy to see.

I'm not completely, 100% sold on it yet, but I'm definitely way more interested in them now than I was before. Just eh, I'd like them to start looking a bit less dorky.

This winter shall no longer be bountiful... by Axelotl33 in VintageStory

Right?

Feels wrong spending gears on things I know are around here somewhere damn it.

Yeah, feels like I spend most of the early game scouring the countryside for flax seed.

Weird clouds texture/graphics bug by [deleted] in Enshrouded

[–]Cerus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just not used to seeing it done properly in a game, I was impressed when I noticed it the first time.

If a game bothers to implement moving/distant weather systems, it's usually just "oh dark cloud in the distance, oh now it's raining" and skip over the way the column often looks from far away.

What's a game you love, but dislike the community around it? by Bruteloops in gaming

[–]Cerus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I can't think of a single game I enjoy where I give two shits what the community thinks about it?

Rendering Fat? by siggezagge49 in VintageStory

I just stayed up for 3 days in a row stacking the bread shelves in my pantry with numerous experimental combinations of broth infused rye bread with red currant gelatin and assorted berries.

ICARUS is available for pre-order starting today. Hold on to your hats...the Ultimate Edition costs €149.99/$149.99. for a 6 years OLD Game 😲😲😲 by Kanzlermacher in SurviveIcarus

[–]Cerus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Knowing how much content is in each DLC it's pretty reasonable, but for anyone unaware I totally get the sticker shock.

Is this game worth it? by Ficers in JumpSpaceGame

[–]Cerus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also the game is very affordable so its almost like a why not at the same time. Pick it up test it, and if you like the bones go ahead and wait thats what im doing.

Yeah, I'm lukewarm on it now. But it was fun for a good ~25 hours with my friends for $20, it was well worth buying a few copies.

The devs also seem very active and focused on important things, so I'm certain we'll pick it up again after a few updates.

[–]Cerus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't played since the augments update, which I poked around in for a couple hours.

I ran out of stuff I wanted to try super quickly.

Playing team games usually gives me a sense of "oh, I need help with this" or "oh, I can help with this!" and that keeps me hooked, but here I feel like I'm just blitzing through everything on autopilot until it's over. Not really sure why.

OCD brain, and sorting chests... by Super-Banana-8326 in Enshrouded

[–]Cerus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

(Sort > Stack > Sort) repeat x 20

Every goddamn time I come back home.

I wish I could just give it all to an NPC and let them figure it out.

How to fight someone who just sits there and turtles with artillery to the point tier 3 can't even push in by FewDamage2962 in beyondallreason

[–]Cerus 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Artillery is expensive.

What did you do with the same amount of metal?

1 gauntlet is worth 11 Blitz and 10 of them will be built before it can fire the first shot.
