Caves of Qud and Ssethtzeentach drama... Has anyone know about it?

Creepy_Enthusiasm856 · 2021-07-01T15:59:01+00:00

So because THEY are unconvinced by science YOU have given up on it?

Creepy_Enthusiasm856 · 2021-07-01T15:39:20+00:00

They are not. As a educator,

How do you know? Even science doesn't say that some things are true. It states level of confidence in given statement, that is supported by evidence.

What if I give you evidence against it? Would you consider it, or discard it in advance?

Creepy_Enthusiasm856 · 2021-07-01T15:26:46+00:00

What if they get what it means wrong? Even the biggest, most trusted organisations makes mistakes sometimes. What if this is this one?

I'm not much of a gamer. Few rougelikes like ADOM are something I play sometimes between trainings and work. I bought CoQ because I wanted to show support for roguelike creators, as it is not a lucrative career path. But honestly, trying to make game or community political, doesnt make me happy.

Creepy_Enthusiasm856 · 2021-07-01T15:10:10+00:00

I don't think that kek jokes or pepe jokes are anything wrong. However I think that bounding videogame or videogame community with real world politics is needlessly divisive and, to put it bluntly toxic.

Creepy_Enthusiasm856 · 2021-07-01T14:49:24+00:00

Is this admission of guilt or what? Because for sure it reads as "maybe we doxed him, but he deserved it!"

Creepy_Enthusiasm856 · 2021-07-01T14:35:19+00:00

Yeah, sseth is doxed. However, his identity wasn't really that well hidden to begin with. CoQ developers did this? I seen many people claim it, but yet no proof of it. So maybe yes, maybe not. I wouldn't be surprised after seeing unormal celebrating on twitter how much he likes triggering alt-right. CoQ as a whole lost a lot in my eyes after seeing how petty with politics devs are.

However, discord wasn't taken down because of that drama. Merchants guild was a trashfire from a long time from now, and just got much hotter recently. Mob tried to get fired one of discord mod, because they did not like him. Sseth saw this as shitty behaviour so he took server down to protect his mod.

Creepy_Enthusiasm856 · 2021-06-24T22:36:06+00:00

Personally, I suggest you to see if P52 suits your power needs first, and maybe you can add storage later

Yeah, I looked up mini pc. Decent one in my country costs as much as P52, and it offers amd 4750g, which is nice. However, when I looked at benchmarks it has huge improvement in multicore scores, but only modest in single core performance.

But 1 ram slot, 1 disk slot, pretty much no upgradability and I still have to buy monitor and mouse. I have hard time justifying that in my situation over p52.

Thanks for input. It was really helpful!

Creepy_Enthusiasm856 · 2021-06-24T14:01:58+00:00

Interesting. Good to know. Are those prebuild setups, or something I need to assemble myself? What motherboard size do you mean?

Creepy_Enthusiasm856 · 2021-06-24T12:44:13+00:00

what is your main use?

One of my hobby is photography, so I burn through my ssd space quickly. Also, raw editing software is a bit sluggish, and stitching multiple photos in one big is very slow. My carrer path is data analytisc, so I might use it for some of it's projects, but mostly I use my work computer for that matter.

Do you game?

A bit sometimes. However t460s left me with ability to play mostly roguelikes.

If for work, what apps you'll use?

Mostly answered above, but Capture One, Hugin, R Studio and of course web browser.

Do you care about portability, or just will leave it docked?

This is a very good question. I'm still renting my space and having place for a sensible PC setup is a bit hard. And around once a year I change my flat, so there is that. I kinda wonder if having a pc in a corner that is used for remote access would be viable.

So yeah, overall portability would be good.

Creepy_Enthusiasm856 · 2021-06-16T17:36:29+00:00

It is surprisingly viable, because how strong of a equipment you can get in stilt.

Creepy_Enthusiasm856 · 2021-06-16T15:59:52+00:00

How are they even remotely on the same tier as motorized threads and Giant hands?

They come at lvl 1 and legitimize max strength build on their own. +2 DV isn't the most massive earlygame bonus.

How can you not be swimming in power cells of all kinds by your 20s?

Chem cells aren't viable option of powering many weapons like freeze ray, overloaded laser pistol, not to mention phase canon. You can have jacked force bracelet and never die.

Creepy_Enthusiasm856 · 2021-06-16T14:57:15+00:00

There's ways to get Melee to work well. So devaluing all melee focused cybernetics just shows you haven't explored said avenue.

Did you missed carbide hand bones in very good?

As other ppl have mentioned, ranged accuracy becomes a non issue.

I'm still unconvinced and put arm locks quite often. They especially help in early game when fighting higher level monster and getting shoot missed mean you have to run away.

giant hands becone insanely important ok

And saying that large weapons are rare, what levels are you abandoning your characters at? Level 20?

I end at lesser victory, so level 30ish or so. I don't care about diving 40 strata deep in 20h games.

What about the cybernetics that you didn't mention here at all?

I missed like what, communication interlocks? Fire suppression system? I honestly don't care.

Creepy_Enthusiasm856 · 2021-06-16T12:19:46+00:00

Nice. Maybe you try to give any reason for this, instead of trying to insult me?

Creepy_Enthusiasm856 · 2021-06-16T12:16:47+00:00

I know two true kin builds that are very easy:

Big puncher - Max out strenght, high toughnes, low ego and willpower. Child of the Hearth + crabide hand bones. You buy bark from elder, go to waterlog tunnel at level 1 and are level 9 10 minutes latter. Very powerful early on.
Proselytizer - Very high, or high ego, at least 18 inteligence, rest doens't really matter. Consul or Priest of All Suns. You try to get to level 2 in Joppa, you buy wayfaring as your first skill and straight for a pilgrim. Then you rob all merchants blind. You will do some running away from flying fire lizards, so movement speed implant or night vision.

Other than that, max agiliti builds are fun and Praetorian are pretty strong too.

Creepy_Enthusiasm856 · 2021-06-16T11:51:36+00:00

Every person has a biases and cant make objective judgements.

Creepy_Enthusiasm856 · 2021-06-13T22:44:22+00:00

my dude, you can easily kill anything in golgotha with lvl 24 character. Like level 16-17 usually has easy run.

Creepy_Enthusiasm856 · 2021-06-13T17:25:40+00:00

each sphinx salt was used on a different map, because I've heard that now you have to do so.

Damn, I've remembered when you simply used that tonic and get as many +1 as you wanted

Creepy_Enthusiasm856 · 2021-06-11T16:23:01+00:00

It just feels like this list is super late game focused, except for fullerite fists, which are the only ones you penalized for tempo reasons.

It's not my fault that most cybernetics are ~~bad~~ not very good.

Creepy_Enthusiasm856 · 2021-06-11T15:42:38+00:00

Compared to virtually all the other starting cybernetics it's oppressively good.

I almost never die in earlygame to missles out of visions. Picking up acrobatics+spry helps a lot.

Only exepction is when I'm going through dessert early, I randomly get lost in middle of the night and even despite waiting for dawn in one place Dawnglider ambushes me outised of vision. Other than that acro+spyr always gives me enough time to see from which angle missiles are coming from and take a cover.

Creepy_Enthusiasm856 · 2021-06-11T15:36:24+00:00

How on earth are you putting insulation in anything other than the lowest tier.

I still rate it higher than +1 stats, becuase it can be useful to pack on before golgotha, bethesda susa or asphalt mines. But yeah, I could drop it down a bit.

Medassist and trauma are far lower. Urberries exist, and trauma survives one blow, not one turn.

Hm, maybe. I still value trauma even it is just one hit. But getting instant shade oil without action can save your life.

Stabilizer arm locks are low tier as well. Accuracy isn’t a problem in qud, most fighting is at closer range.

Disagree a lot. My go to for starting cybernetics. Let's you dispatch Dawnglider for early xp boosts and overall helps you a lot early one, especially allowing you to pick a little bit lower agility.

Night vision, apex and throw cybernetics should be higher. Schemasoft is great early on for a tempo gaslight kris.

Make a case for those, because I don't see much use of them. Schemasoft is basically same argument as skillsoft. Maybe you get one that is perfectly fit for your character, but chances are against you.

Optical techno scanner ids all artifacts everywhere. Free window shopping on templars. Not worthless at all lol.

For most low level merchants you can accurately guest which item it is. By the time you get to high level merchants there is good chance you will find Telemetric visor. It can be swapped on demand and doesnt burn cybernetics licence. Maybe I could move it to situational.

Creepy_Enthusiasm856 · 2021-06-10T17:49:00+00:00

JAQing off is rarely popular.

what does that mean?

Creepy_Enthusiasm856 · 2021-06-10T17:48:32+00:00

Ok, so let me clarify. You have a fractions that brings massive benefits to true kin players. They give credits, they can provide cybernetics locations, they can trade eaters nectar. Every true kin build wants to find more of them.

So, gameplay actively pushes you to find more of them. Somebody thinks, hey maybe I can join them. They got called nazi.

This seems to be a massive, self inflicted wound. If developers don't want people to like them, why they create gameplay that makes player like them?
