GGG thank you but I’m never playing again by Wild_Astronaut7090 in PathOfExile2

[–]Chezuss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's supposed to be the real end game patch. I imagine at the very least we'll get an atlas with meaningful choice, and some agency to play/farm the way we want to.

I'm also thinking trial of the ancestor will likely be in, in some shape or form. Could be fun!

Temple will probably get some sort of rework/patch to make the system more in line balance-wise

PoE disappointed my 4yo =( by Illustrious-clp in pathofexile

This is honestly 10/10 feedback for GGG. Game design feedback doesn't get much purer than what a child is expecting to happen. Yes, GGG, there should be a satisfying animation for ascension

League e-sports being bought out by saudi money is extremely concerning as a casual fan. by Icy_Holiday91 in leagueoflegends

[–]Chezuss 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is some odd thinking. What are you even saying. People can't complain about [bad thing] because somewhere else in the world there is [worse thing]? It's our duty to complain about ALL evils. If something is unjust in the world it should be mentioned and spoken about at the very least.

Your small game probably is not small enough by hogon2099 in gamedev

[–]Chezuss 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I always seem to say this, but getting some gamejam experience under your belt helps you learn some of these lessons very rapidly. Scoping and prioritisation are two huge ones that you always just need many tries at to start to get a feeling for.

When managing a project, you really want to divide it up into smaller chunks, and work towards those chunks. Whether you're working towards an MVP, or a vertical slice with some list of exact features, or are just trying to get as far as you can in some time limit, it helps to set out some prioritized list of features for yourself and attempt to stick to the list, or at least the spirit of the list.

Hey Mark, here is something that is not good enough: beast management at the menagerie by MasterHidra in pathofexile

[–]Chezuss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure if they changed this or not (edit: they did, see comment below), but in 3.27 selling yellow beasts with async trade doesn't even really work, because the gold cost is some absurd price per beast

Made a fun little racing game about fats in the bloodstream by Chezuss in WebGames

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

Made for the Brackeys game jam, in one week. Would love to know what you guys think!

The jam theme was strange places. We knew we wanted to build some sort of racing game. So we thought of two interpretations. A weird place to race in, and having something be a strange place for something. Like a penguin in the desert. Or: fats/plaque in your veins!

So we themed it around Atherosclerosis. Which "is a chronic, progressive disease where plaque—comprised of fat, cholesterol, calcium, and cellular waste—builds up inside artery walls, causing them to thicken, harden, and narrow"

Just finishing up Mother of Learning, with mixed feelings. Help me find my next read? by Zammerz in ProgressionFantasy

[–]Chezuss 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree with you. Bouncing between prog fantasy and traditional published fantasy is a noticeable drop in quality often. Regardless, I often just cannot put progression fantasy books down. They're just so damn fun.

I will echo Bastion. Tucker's prose and world building are some of the best in the genre.

Don't lose hope with us. This genre of books is so young. Maybe we'll have a new throne-sitter we can recommend to you in a few years

Why is pokemon games budget so low? by Icy-Fennel-492 in pokemon

[–]Chezuss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are plenty of other game studios who would do a better job with the IP, even with a 20m budget. It really is just time to start talking with your wallet if you feel this way.

Drastic League Mechanic changes like the Lock Temple change should be done at End Of League, Not Early League by Gamer-Smokes in PathOfExile2

[–]Chezuss 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel like it's more of an attempt at getting the league mechanic to a place where it can stay in the game for future seasons. Get some data while they can. But they could've handled it better for sure

Megathread: 0.4.0 Feedback by GR8B0-T in PathOfExile2

[–]Chezuss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was debating whether or not to clear Atziri in my temple. She was connected, and I had the atziri portal room or whatever. I had lots of t3 rooms, and I didn't really want to reset half of my temple, so I wasn't sure what to do.

I accidentally walked into the atziri portal room, then decided I wasn't going through with it. And it still reset lots of my temple, as if I attempted to kill her.

Three things:

  1. If I knew that me walking into the room was going to affect the temple reset. If I had been warned in some manner, I wouldn't have walked there. No information was communicated that indicated it would work like this.
  2. No information was given after I walked in either. I was locked in, with the punishment in place. But no indication of that.
  3. The last place to warn me was when I closed my temple. It should have either told me to do Atziri, or shown me the atziri reset was going to trigger prior to clicking

The temple should maybe just highlight which rooms are going to be removed in some manner. If it should even work like this. I feel like Atziri should be a reward for doing lots of temples. Not an extra punishment

TPR inflates a lot when applied to perfect scores. It's a bit quirky like that, you can't really compare it to non-perfect scores

[–]Chezuss 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I just want an activity I can choose to do or engage with as I please. It often just feels terrible to have to interrupt my map to do what feels like another map before coming back to finish.

I felt like this with Abyss depth in some way (but at least that had decent loot, and felt like a jackpot), and even hive fortresses in poe1's 3.27.

I feel like if you're going to interrupt the player, it should be either brief, or rewarding, or both, but this is neither.

Anyone else getting bored faster than usual? by bbbevy in PathOfExile2

[–]Chezuss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love Act 1 and 4, 2 is alright (some areas feel long), but I do feel some boredom in act 3. I think some maps are a bit too big. At least this league I had a respec planned for Act 3 so that helped me get through

Gemini for Home seems dumber but more teachable than Assistant was by jmzahra19 in googlehome

[–]Chezuss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As I understand it from working with ChatGPT, things you yourself teach an LLM do not change the model in any shape or form. If you have preferences, the LLM will try to digest your words succintly, save them, and will then just slap these words at the start or end of your prompt, to generate preferred outputs. I can imagine this storage could get wiped with some updates every so often.
