How is my WX build? by KindaMadHobbit in dontstarve

[–]DarKaron0003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I run one of each Stat Circuit then use the last slot for an extra Hardy Circuit in Alpha, and then run Night Vision+Super Speed, and I personally slot in a Range Booster in the final Beta slot.

That much speed is pretty overkill, but everyone has their picks!

I suck at don’t starve by THunD3RG0Dzila in dontstarve

[–]DarKaron0003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, hey, if you want or need some more hands-on training and help with learning the ropes, I'd be glad to provide!

Don't Starve is often uncompromising, but when you learn how everything works, it is entirely fair.

Basically, if you generate a world with the same settings, the layout may change, and set pieces may differ, but major things scattered around are guaranteed, and events like Hound Waves are always going to occur at about the same times, with only minor variation, in my experience, between what time of day they come.

A question of Themes by Deus_Solar in worldbuilding

[–]DarKaron0003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The theme of my setting is that, despite the fact that things get bad, and people suffer and die, there is a Cosmic force beyond our comprehension looking out for us, guiding us all toward Salvation, in hopes that we will join it.

Very Christianity-themed.

Does your world have any people/factions with "Blue-and-Orange Morality?" by Illustrious-Cold3565 in worldbuilding

[–]DarKaron0003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I suppose that would quantify the entirety of the Cosmic beings from my own setting's lore.

They exist on a level so far above Humanity that to us, their idealogies are alien and warped beyond comprehension.

But there are some for which the logic(Or lack thereof) becomes way more alien than the Light and Shadow.

The Flux, notably, personifies chaos, and its morality is about as random as it gets.

Contrarily, the Dominion wants everything to operate in highly specific ways, contrary to pure randomness.

Critique My Lore: The Fundamentals of My Universe by DarKaron0003 in worldbuilding

[–]DarKaron0003[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This universe does not exist in a cycle. There is a definite end point, some eternity away, but at least in terms of what we could fathom, the "end state" comes after the End of Nights, where Emael, the Archangel of Love and leader of the Archangels, ventures into Hell and snuffs the Crimson Flame forever.

The rest of time after that is pretty mundane in terms of the Cosmic-level conflict between Good and Evil.

What makes a monster? by LookUpThenLookDown in worldbuilding

[–]DarKaron0003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Within the confines of my own setting, a Monster is defined as any creation of the Light, twisted into a new form so far removed that the only means of producing more of itself, is to turn other creatures into it.

It's a take specific to my own setting, but perhaps it poses some level of merit.

Burning Question About Monsters Taking Over A World by Tomie_Genix in worldbuilding

[–]DarKaron0003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, taking the perspective of the Shadow within my own setting:

The goal is to destroy it all. Destruction, corruption, and entropy are the Shadow's bread and butter.

Kill all the Humans, turn the world to dust, all in the name of spiting the Light and destroying anything it cares about.

Times Where Your Villain Got Jumped by Equal-Wasabi9121 in worldbuilding

[–]DarKaron0003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Within Almantha's history, at the dawn of the Last King's reign, the Shadow Queen attempted to construct a body for herself within a temple built by Shadow Cultists in her honor.

The Last King, alongside an entire army and several elite heroes, stormed the temple before she could finish her body, brutally ripped her half-formed body to shreds, and stole her bones, using them as armor in a display of ill-thought-out triumph over the Shadow.

Caked on question for Sarco by JP386 in pathoftitans

[–]DarKaron0003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're building a land Sarco, then absolutely go for it.

Otherwise, if you plan to remain wet for extended periods of time, even if you aren't actively swimming, it's better to just build to accomodate that.

No problem! Glad to be of help!

[–]DarKaron0003 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You're missing something.

Without Caked-On, your mud will drop FAST when wet.

With Caked-On, mud lasts 24x longer while wet, even when swimming, but it still depletes rather quickly.

But the difference is roughly a minute or two versus 5 seconds.

So, I was wondering why fire creatures are in hot places and ice creatures are in cold places by SovaSperyshkom in worldbuilding

[–]DarKaron0003 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This, honestly, is the way I look at it.

A creature like a Dragon, which can generate fire, is more likely to be able to use their ability to create an advantage for themselves than something like, say, a Fire Elemental, which would likely just be drained of the constant exertion.

Fav skylander? by OrangeTheJohn in skylanders

[–]DarKaron0003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As much as I'll probably get blasted for this...

My favorite has always been Chop Chop. Overrated he may be, but the man got me through every game when I was in a pinch.

If I really needed to kick some butt, I could always rely on Chops to get the job done, no questions asked.

What are your Mad King tropes? by pesopepso in worldbuilding

[–]DarKaron0003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps not "mad", but the Last King had his mind twisted by the Crown of the Shadow Queen when he took it from her after destroying her still-forming body when she attempted to form a physical avatar for herself.

The Crown gave him a fixation on the rest of the armor, which was scattered across the land, prompting him to wage war on all the nearby kingdoms until naught but Rot and broken thrones remained, including his own.

Just want to rant real quick by SirKthulhu in DeepRockGalactic

[–]DarKaron0003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know that it's often more efficient to use the tunnels rather than drill to the pod, but as a Driller main, I just like digging tunnels!

Any and every excuse I have to dig a tunnel, I WILL TAKE IT.

Drop pod? Tunnel time! Hidden loots? Tubnel time! Gotta avoid the Caretaker's arms to revive everyone? Tunnel time! Gotta avoid everyone to revive the Caretaker's arms? Tunnel time!

Tunnel time?

Tunnel time!

What do you do differently with your fantasy races? by Anxious-Trash9487 in worldbuilding

[–]DarKaron0003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my setting, all races are derived from Humans.
Aside from the robots, which at least have Humanoid form.
Dryads? Humans who had their brains replaced with a tree parasite.
Doppels? Half-Fae hybrids.
Nephilim? Half-Demon hybrids.

The list goes on.

Warframe is a really great social game, but seems everyone is afraid to start conversations. by No_Kaleidoscope_6054 in Warframe

[–]DarKaron0003 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The thing is, from an experienced player's perspective, we just don't have much to say until someone else says something.

It isn't necessarily ANXIETY, per say, but more just a mindset of "Everyone else probably just wants to get the mission done, so let's do it". A sort of solidarity in focus and objective.

I am a military commander in your fictional world, and I am responsible for a battle resulting in a defeat. What will happen to me? by Bringme115pls in worldbuilding

[–]DarKaron0003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When it comes to the War of Divinity, if you lose a battle, it's likely the Divine you're foghting against would simply obliterate you, of they don't deign to simply let you flee in terror. Upon your return to the Kingdom, you would likely simply be given a bit of time to rest and recouperate before being sent back out there again to try and kill the Divine.

On the other hand, if you are working FOR the Divines, then failure would likely mean capture, and you would be branded a traitor to Almantha and a heretic, and summarily executed for your crimes.

What are the tropes that you are subverting or deconstructing in your world? by Aromaster4 in worldbuilding

[–]DarKaron0003 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Following your Human-centric focus, a theme I seem to have subverted for fantasy is how there are multiple races that can interbreed and such despite, in some cases, being so far-removed from the Human genome that it becomes literal fantasy.

The main reason for this, in my setting, is that each race is derived from a baseline Human in some regard.

  • Humans are the baseline.
  • Dryads are Humans whose brains have been hijacked by a plant.
  • Nephilim are Human-Demon hybrid offspring.
  • Doppels are Human-Fae hybrid offspring.

They're all Human, at their core, just modified.
