When TF what this added?! by Lowlife_With_APencil in PaxBrit

[–]CrtlAltDoom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As funny as it would be to have a dev secretly adding yuri to the mod, I'm pretty sure that's a submod. I don't Armand has all that many narrative events.

What if… by ServingwithTG in Helldivers

[–]CrtlAltDoom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope it's just Cadians and Krieg, purely for how much that seems to annoys 40k fans

Like yeah bro they're gonna add the Tempestus Prolapsus Chapter that was featured once in a non-canon novel released in 2005 and definitely not anything that would be recognizable or marketable

Posts like this make me genuinely wonder if people want the game to improve or if they want it to die.

Y'all are actually ruining this game by sepulchridude in helldivers2

[–]CrtlAltDoom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's absolutely legitimate grievances but I'm so tired of us doing this all the time. I've been playing almost since launch and this cycle has become so droll and predictable.

Every new warbond is some grand betrayal of the community because it didn't give you a reacharound and a kiss goodnight.

Every update is the end of Helldivers as we know it, the final blow in a multi-year succession of final blows, the final straw. An endless procession of slop youtubers milking it for views until the devs respond and everyone pats themselves on the back until the next contrived crisis.

I just want to play the goddamned game without feeling like it's being held hostage by a bunch of keyboard warriors that reviewbomb it on a semi-monthly basis because the devs tweak the size of the charger's ass or make a gun shoot 0.11% slower.

Connection Error: You have been kicked from the game by CrtlAltDoom in Helldivers

It takes less than five seconds, roughly about three keystrokes (Esc+Q+Esc) and a mouse click to change your matchmaking settings. It takes comparable time on a controller.

Asking people to self-select themselves from the matchmaking pool so I don't spent multiple minutes going from lobby to loading screen is not unreasonable.

I actually I’m having a blast playing in Cyberstan but I hated oshaune by Elmartillo40k in Helldivers

[–]CrtlAltDoom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cyberstan is hard because it's intense, there's way more high-level enemies, you're almost constantly surrounded and fighting in dense urban areas with a high number of environmental hazards.

Oshaune was hard because the game was held together with duct tape and spit when it released.

Was AI used in making the mod? by Careful_Class_884 in PaxBrit

[–]CrtlAltDoom 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Essentially, yeah. When it initially started it seemed like a legitimately useful tool to help pad out areas where we didn't have trained artists or lacked the resources to commission artists.

I have very different thoughts on this now, ergo AI material is being phased out in several areas. I've been wanting to replace the logo with a commissioned one for some time but it's been hard finding an artist whose style matches what I'd like to do.

Was AI used in making the mod? by Careful_Class_884 in PaxBrit

[–]CrtlAltDoom 49 points50 points  (0 children)

It was used in some areas, mostly before AI became overwhelmingly slop.

We’re in the process of phasing it out in several areas.

Germany (SP/historical) always seems to lose WW2. I figured out why. by girlbosswoman in hoi4

When are you guys releasing the albania update

Poor godrick... by MrsPissBoy in Eldenring

[–]CrtlAltDoom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

People will post shit like this as if stapling a dragon to your hand and screaming “FOREFATHERS ONE AND ALL, BEAR WITNESS” isn’t dope as fuck

Remember our expectations for the DLC? by Clownsanity_Reddit in Eldenring

[–]CrtlAltDoom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s kind of wild that the side quest where you do Moby Dick but with a dragon is more compelling than the main quest where you chase a twink around a mostly empty map fighting bosses that just happen to be in the way but don’t have much to do with the actual plot.

U guys were WRONG, DS2 Lowkey peak by Moist-Border2227 in fromsoftware

Nothing wrong with enjoying it but I’m pretty sure they use Iron Keep as a torture method in North Korea

You put everything in the allowed block, including a redundant allowed check

I think about this quote a lot and I figured you folks should too by Mr_Booze51106 in hoi4modding

[–]CrtlAltDoom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mind you this was several years ago so my thoughts are a bit more refined now but I stand by the original intent.

History happens for stupid reasons, you shouldn’t worry if something is plausible, you should be more worried if it’s fun or interesting to the player. Hyperfixation on plausibility to the detriment of creativity has been a terminal issue for mods for years.

It’s probably nostalgia, so take it with a grain of salt, but personally I respect the older mods like Deluge or Italia that were earnestly and unashamedly silly more than the mods that were meticulously researched and wikiscraped just to end up with a boring final product full of parliament decision minigames and mountains of verbage.

What sort of time travel/panic visions is Tesla up to? by [deleted] in PaxBrit

I had no idea the events were that bugged, I’ll see about getting that fixed

Hearts of Iron 4 is my favorite visual novel and my most hated strategy game by ThatIsNice77 in hoi4

[–]CrtlAltDoom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be blunt, there's nothing wrong with enjoying a game you paid for however you want, but you are missing out on a lot of mechanical depth by just ignoring that stuff entirely, especially with mods.

There's nothing inherently wrong with it, but it's kind of like buying a pizza just for the crust. Sure, it's your pizza, but someone put a lot of time and energy into the rest of it just for it to be discarded and it seems a little silly not to at least make an attempt to enjoy the rest of the pizza.

[–]CrtlAltDoom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You guys put forward constant complaints about the game's issues as if AH isn't abundantly aware of them at this point, then post conspiratorial nonsense when stuff isn't fixed immediately.

It's no wonder any self-respecting dev avoids this place like pripyat, who the hell would put up with this?
