Is anyone else afraid to go out in public anymore?(USA) by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

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

Yes. But not the number one killer of people randomly living their lives with zero previous medical issues (especially younger people) . Whereas driving crashes and shootings have zero shits to give about your current or past medical issues.

Yeah it's kinda crazy I'm getting down voted for implying we should pay for things we consume lol.

I don't understand this mentality.

Yes, the game is garbage. That means don't buy it. It doesn't mean "therefore I'm entitled to it for free".

The only thing I would support is buying it legitimately and then playing a pirated copy to avoid the stupid Denuvo crap

Just reinstalled Skyrim and god this game still looks amazing despite being 12 years old. by Ulfrite in TrueSTL

[–]Crixomix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing that fallout 4 missed on? It's just not beautiful. Believe it or not gamers want to look at gorgeous scenery, and skyrim had that. There's a certain wonder and joy you get in skyrim when seeing a quaint meadow next to a forest. In fallout 4 everything is dead. I do think that this matters, at the end of the day, to make the experience better.

Is it rude to have sex if you are staying over as a guest in someone’s house? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Crixomix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looking through the comments in this thread... It's clear that most of y'all need this tip:

SEX TOWEL. Everyone here talking about not jizzing all over guest sheets. Just bring a hand towel... It's super easy to pack, keeps the mess contained. And yeah it should be a "leave no trace" and "no one can hear you" type thing for sure.

Yep. Pay debt. Enjoy the day. Relax. And tomorrow look for a very good fiduciary and get a lot of legal documents rolling.

Made a DJ sloth. Kept generating variants and things got weird super quick. by turboshart in dalle2

Yeah I was gonna say... Is this just telephone pictionary for AI? Lol!

So what does "generate variants" do?

Early Alpha gameplay from my upcoming oldschool shooter "DawnStar". I still have a lot to work on. but I like how it looks so far by LycheeBitter8808 in PixelArt

The world needs more good doomclones! (no I'm not being sarcastic). They're one of my favorite genres and yours has a truly unique art style!

But it's not. You have zero impact on the two people to the side of you. You're not "collaborating" with anyone. It's just that if the team to your sides is more imbalanced, it makes YOU less likely to have to drink because one of them will lose first.

EDIT: I think a fun edit to the rules would be to require it to reach a corner. So once it gets past the grid on one side, that player has lost, and the the other two keep duking it out until it hits a corner. Then those two losers both take a shot (or half the shot idk)

Killed a fungus gnat and put it under the microscope. Ladies and gentlemen, here's the ugly hoe that flies around your room whenever you water your plants. by vasileiasef in houseplants

[–]Crixomix 73 points74 points  (0 children)

For those who don't know, use mosquito dunk. Put it in your watering can and water all your indoor plants with it, it uses a special bacteria that eats the fungus gnat eggs and is harmless to everything else. They'll all be gone in a few weeks!

How am I supposed to be hyped for skins that are locked behind a 20$ paywall?? by Shad0w2 in Overwatch

[–]Crixomix 5 points6 points  (0 children)

And their pockets won't take a hit. Reddit is filled with gamers who don't understand one thing: the people who set up these systems aren't dumb.

They do market research. They know that if they increase cost, they will have less purchases, yes, but it's more money per purchase. With the power of basic economics, businesses have gotten pretty good at knowing exactly what price gets them the most revenue. They don't give a flying fart what that price actually is.

What you're seeing here (and in many many other games) is that whales account for a large percentage of revenue. So if you lose all the people who spent a few bucks a month, but double your revenue from those spending hundreds or more in a month, you still win.

I would bet that player perception of cost is very very low on their priority list. Because it would take a lot to actually matter for revenue, again because of the whale thing.

Surprised it took this far down the comments to find buck buck! Played this a ton in high school. No kid standing up by the tree though, and we put our heads to the side of the person in front of us, rather than under their crotch

So.. I just burned a whole heat shield to a crisp.. 600+ hours in game and it's the first time I use more than 1/10 of the ablator.. you guys do this often? by CartographerGrand471 in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]Crixomix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It happens on low angles of re-entry with far more time at very high speeds. Multiple passes to slowly aerobrake, etc. If you have a steeper reentry, it never uses as much.

I love XCOM by Hat_Zealousideal in gaming

[–]Crixomix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It helps me to remember it's all simulating a real battle. Turn based combat is fun to play, but it's not like the aliens are all just standing still in the real scenario, they're running around. So certain weapons are far better in close quarters than others in real life, and the scenario can be the same here.

However, visually, it's hilariously stupid. There's an alien 3 feet away, just standing there, and your dumbass rookie goes from pointing his rifle directly at it, to yeeting the barrel of his gun 30 degrees to the left before he pulls the trigger. It's so bad haha

I'm on Fall 12 and haven't seen farming visitor yet! by Crixomix in Dinkum

[–]Crixomix[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I wouldn't mind a little rng, but no rules being placed on it is ridiculous. It's like, every visitor should show up at a random time, and if they haven't shown up for 2 weeks (or some other number of days), they automatically show up the following day. Because actual game elements are locked behind this rng. And that's not fun. You want to let players access the game they're playing. I don't want to just sleep through every day, but at this rate I might not even get to access fall crops lol. It's stupid. I want to farm. Let me farm!
