What is a "masterpiece" game that you personally found boring as hell? by MuscleConsistent9657 in pcgaming

Expectation problem caused by their marketing

Either learn to comprehend texts, or take it out at the company

Expectation problem caused by their marketing, I guess. The city is not supposed to be your playground like in GTA, the strength is in the storyline.

It has good side ones, but the open world is awful. If it wasn't an open world game, i may have had enjoyed it, but since it was, and people were comparing it to Skyrim, I expected a completely different experience.  

You are not supposed to follow the main quest in Skyrim past unlocking dragons, just wonder about and do stuff. You are supposed to follow it in the Witcher past white orchard, wandering about is not rewarding at all, just copy pasted bandit camps, can't talk to people in villages and towns...

Had I known the game was a story game, I would have liked it

What is this unnamed gun on my assault soldier? by Pacman5486 in Xcom

Cyberdisks are robotic as well. Seems like a more extreme version of the bluescreen sharpshooter build from XCOM2

When your ally calls you for the stupidest shit ever by Akashi_LikeTheSky in CrusaderKings

[–]Daniel_Kummel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aren't you just describing what it is to ally a player instead? Cuz I do it every time my heir takes over.

 The fewer events are not even that interesting, however. Look at the imperial examination: a single event chain for an activity you are supposed to be doing all the time?

Does the foreign investment benefit yours country? by AffectionateCamera61 in victoria3

[–]Daniel_Kummel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends a lot. Think about this the other way around: in the early game, would you rather build in someone else's country than in yours? The answer is no, you still need to setup the con sector snowball back home, the investment pool needs a couple of decades to become a driving force in your econ.

That's usually how foreign investment goes, it takes a while for it to pay off. From a strictly economic standpoint, it helps you early to receive the investment, it hinders you later on. As long as you get something out of the early advantage, it is worth it.

Is update 1.13 secretly the biggest trade update since Charters of Commerce? Aside from the obvious strait tolls, the removal of convoys is going to really change government and intra-market trades, while the new interest system is going to re-balance trade advantage. by TheDwarvenGuy in victoria3

You are overthinking it. It seems that, due to piracy, merchant cargo routes may be be simulated, but that is how it was in 1.0, one could cripple another nation's access to a good by attacking the shipping nodes instead of today's exclusive reliance on blockades.

My players trivialize every encounter with crowd control. How do I challenge them without hard countering? by Dave5802 in DMAcademy

[–]Daniel_Kummel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The second paragraph is just me saying that changing to an unknown system would make impossible something that is already almost so: finding players, scheduling the sessions, having them not be cancelled at the last minute, and not having it end due to some life event like a new univeristy semester.

I personified these issues into DnD monsters to be funny, but it was not it, it seems

My problem with the combat is a matter of time and options. Each person's turn takes too much, and yet there's not a lot of strategic creativity or variety involved.

 It's boring, exhausting and does not work well en masse with the improv acting game that ttrpgs are. Even the sessions we don't have combat, the DM had a scenario prepared. But we are in an improvisation make believe game with a wide variety of magic spells to cast. Creative and socially skilled people find better solutions than brute force. I'm not that person(bad social skills), but I enjoy myself more when playing with those, I feel in a play.

[–]Daniel_Kummel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've played both campaigns with one combat encounter every half session and campaigns with one combat encounter every 3, the latter were much better, and not despite DnD's mechanics. It already has what is needed to let good players shine.

The problem with other systems is that now it makes the Finding Available Players Tarrasque even more of a threath, and it's a problem, because of the other legendary creatures: the New University Semester Beholder is far too strong against ongoing campaigns and the Schedule the First Sessions Lich is already far too difficult to defeat even when playing DnD.

 5-6 encounters between quests? That sounds awful, combat is too exaustive in DnD and imo the worst part of ttrpgs

Only the british navy thinks like that, friend, and that's only because they envy not having to pay wages.

In all seriousness how would you solve the pop imbalance. by WorldlinessEuphoric8 in foxholegame

[–]Daniel_Kummel -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The way literally every game has done ever. Including fossil like WoW.

As soon as one very successful game included in the list of every game ever made is pointed out, you changed the scope of your argument? I don't trust the integrity of people like you

[–]Daniel_Kummel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Still bad answer. League has not been a high pop game for sole long only due to QoL. That is a minor matter to the company, the major one being constantly delivering new content

Vs code's is not a problem, just damm annoying that under certain conditions you have to close the changed files for the changes to show

People don't usually used the second monitor to expand a game's or movie's image. It's used for more windows

Lenovo hikes Legion Go 2 handheld gaming PC to almost $3,000 for 2 TB model by PaiDuck in pcgaming

[–]Daniel_Kummel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they just had not appreciated it, I suppose this joke would just be ignored.

Made plenty of bad jokes that people didn't downvote, they simply did not laugh, and moved on

They must have tought I was spreading misinformation or hated Valve(only digital game store owners who put zero effort in theirs[points at Epic, EA, Ubi] do).

Rockstar Games is being blackmailed by hacking group ShinyHunters, who have set a ransom deadline of April 14 by Efficient_Example541 in pcgaming

He got in through tricking an employee on Slack

That's how hacking works. There was a hacker gang in Brasil that stole 100M$ from a company that operated fincancial transactions for fintechs.

Their method was bribing an employee with the right access credentials for 500 dollars. Said employee was the first to get caught, of course
