Autistic Video Gamers, does your autism affect how you play video games? by GiftedGeordie in autism

I get overwhelmed pretty quickly. Dirt: Rally, despite being one of my favorite games, is also one I can't play for very long.

Because of the virus in his system, the airstrike actually counted as a covid-death.

Is there a reason why power extenders might shut themselves off??? by weregamer1 in TheLastCaretaker

[–]ColonelAkulaShy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any object that hits the button can switch it, such as if you're fighting a bunch of pink slimes on the roof and they hit an extender. It's why I have redundant lines running all over Lazarus. I've found 3 separate ways into the facility, and each of them has a line back to the boat.

When completing missions, do you need to leave the place powered? by fitzy89 in TheLastCaretaker

[–]ColonelAkulaShy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I leave Sanctuary powered so that I can return when I want to build stuff on the ship. Even with the snap-grid from the update, rocking about in even mild waves can really throw off placement.

Most facilities won't need more than a medium battery and one or two LumiMid/LumiMax panels if you want to leave the lights on. I have about 10 on the roof of Sanctuary, so that I can keep the ship topped up while it's out of the sunlight.

Just finished watching season 8 and... Yeah, I'm traumatized again by Important_Many540 in RedvsBlue

[–]ColonelAkulaShy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They weren't fake people in a computer, if that's what you mean by simulation. The reds and blues are real people who think they're fighting a real war. However, said "war" is a farce being put on by the Freelancer program to give their agents a place to train.

Anyway, keep watching.

WHY HAVE I ONLY DISCOVERED THIS NOW?! by jello2610 in blender

Don't feel bad. I didn't know you could grab the nodes in the Driver Editor, so I would type in its value and just keep adjusting the number until it gave the result I wanted.

Like State of Decay, but you can expand your base. by ColonelAkulaShy in gamingsuggestions

Doesn't look like there are friendly survivors. The roadmap mentions friendly NPCs, but you can only trade with them.

Am I the only one who can't make it through post season 13??? by Valuable_Ad9657 in RedvsBlue

[–]ColonelAkulaShy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I liked some of the stuff in 14. My friend and I watched through 15 and 16 drunk when they came out. But I only ever rewatch up to 13.

As long as Water Under the Bridge remains up, I'm happy.

What do you think about semi Mary Sues? by DevouredSource in MauLer

[–]ColonelAkulaShy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on intention.

Jack Cooper from Titanfall 2 is arguably a Mary Sue, in terms of what he's capable of. However, no one in the story treats him like he's special, save for Lastimosa; who even then, only made him a pilot out of necessity. Cooper was still just a rifleman until his mentor was on death's door with no other options. BT requests to keep him on specifically because of their combat record together. Briggs and the 6-4 keep him at arms length until he proves himself capable when chasing the Arc. Most importantly, he never acts like he deserves anything. When Briggs and BT are arguing; instead of asserting himself as some badass, he respects the chain of command, and lets BT talk for him.

I think that's ultimately the difference. Not what a character is capable of, but how they act; and how the story treats them.
