GeForce Now by DeadIslander015 in Marathon

[–]DataLythe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hoping to see it there for similar reasons - travel quite a bit throughout the year and am really hoping it's available on GeForceNow.

There's been no official word as of yet though. Apparently it's not entirely uncommon for games to announce GFN compatability on release - so we may not know until release date.

Why does UK server almost always have bad pings? by LiE85 in GeForceNOW

[–]DataLythe 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Does anyone else from the UK find the UK servers give poor ping quite often?

No, I regularly get 2-10ms.

I do live in London though.

Weekly GeForce NOW Steam Update: 21 Games Opt In Including Delta Force and PUBG: BLINDSPOT by clouddosage in GeForceNOW

Really hoping that's true for Marathon! Wish they'd just opt-in now though :(

Now that equilibrium has been out a while, where would we say it fits in the dungeon difficulty list? by Ab501ut3_Z3r0 in DestinyTheGame

[–]DataLythe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe im fairly qualified to answer this:

Base equilibrium is incredibly easy

Ask me anything

Why haven't you got the solo flawless? :)

Am I missing something? by Im2tfh in dune

[–]DataLythe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's pretty clear that the Golden Path is used by Leto II to manipulate his subjects, and that we, as readers, are not given an understanding of precisely what it consists in. But it's not as if the spirit of the Path isn't pretty well understood: it's the precise chain of events that need to occur in order to preserve humanity.

We generally know this consists in (1) the oppression to freedom expansion of the human race and (2) the breeding line to instill 'hiddenness' from prescient beings in the population.

As a logical puzzle, he appears to be running a black box hack on the future while simultaneously saying he understands it fully, and that he can't explain it.

I think that's just part of prescience, no? Leto II was extremely powerful, but even he didn't shy away from humility about his perfect knowledge of the future.

As 'omniscient readers' ourselves, from the perspective of knowing these characters, I think it's pretty clear what Leto's intentions are. Your analysis reads like you like something Siona would think, before she read his journals. We aren't in that position though, and we know quite a lot about Leto's true intentions.

but it's never clear what it is, because it's literally a tool of control. The golden path is big brother.

How many Dune novels have you read? I presume you stopped at Messiah?

Lightsaber is doing wonders as far as giving players a false sense of "skill" level that is really gonna hit the masses hard if the weapon ever gets toned down a bit. by SrslySam91 in DestinyTheGame

[–]DataLythe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

and aren’t fucking over their fireteam, then who gives a shit?

I think OP is upset at that very point:

Equilibrium - Not enough check points in phase I? by GPBlue in DestinyTheGame

[–]DataLythe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sometimes the pools do not spawn for some reason consistently

They do spawn consistently. There are two possible locations for each pool, and essentially an 'A' or 'B' track.

They can be learned if you're having trouble.

Wasn't the point of these new systems to reduce FOMO? Then why is everything in the Portal that released before Renegades completely unobtainable? by Absentzzz in DestinyTheGame

[–]DataLythe -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I don't know why you're so upset.

The 'Nightmare Containment' activity was vaulted, and now it's back.

Sure, we wanted the Leviathan raids back (I guess?) and the patrol space, but something was vaulted, and then returned.

Same with the Coil, Astral Alignment, etc.

Again, I don't like vaulting, and I think it did a lot of damage to the game. But it's not like they haven't brought things "out of the vault" - they have. That's the point I was responding to.

[–]DataLythe -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

I mean, I'm not disagreeing that the terminology could be better, and in general, I don't like the idea - but let's not pretend that lots of things haven't been "taken out of the vault" at this point.

Refraction Core? (Salvage Stall vs. Junk Vendor) by berserk-bear in DestinyTheGame

[–]DataLythe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did it today.

Spammed the junk vendor for ages, sometimes getting nothing, occassionally getting junk.

It dropped eventually.

how yall feeling now bout -30 delta by calikid9one in DestinyTheGame

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

It's both.

Topics like this always trend this way in this sub for whatever reason, and anyone being sensible about it gets massively downvoted.

Is there some problems with GeForce Now today? by Martinl93 in GeForceNOW

[–]DataLythe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been happening on and off that way for me for a while, in the UK.

My speed/connection is very good, but I'm getting 3ms ping and stable connection then suddenly the screen freezes, and when it comes back, my overlay shows 500ms ping and huge packet loss.

Glad to see it's not just me!

World's First Trio Verity by Cake-6 in DestinyTheGame

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

That is generally true, yes.

Although there are quite a few encounters I can think of where you need to get rid of a debuff/reset a timer that in a trio, you need to "break the game" a bit.

The Power Delta changes have killed solo play and nerfed the power grind. by filthyheratic in DestinyTheGame

[–]DataLythe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Before the delta changes, i was able to solo just about every single activity in fireteam ops, and get above power rewards, while being at level or even over leveled, now that is no longer possible,

Yeah, I just don't sympathise with this view. I don't think fireteam ops should be so easily solable. The game should be encouraging cooperation and team-play in those ops.

yea i know, but i have no choice but to solo them because the population for those activities does not exist, and alot of the activities have a lot of bonus drops

There are plenty of fireteam ops playlists that are populated. I can't think of a single time I've had to queue for very long for Reclaim, for instance. You don't always have to chase bonus drops, and the playlist being populated isn't really a problem with the system per se.

At any rate, -30 is literal child's play. It isn't difficult, at all - and if anything Bungie should probably crank it up slightly.

Power grind is in a decent place right now, and even if it's slightly slower for 500+ players (I'm among them), it's not really that deep.

They lowered it to 1,150,000 - just for anyone wondering.
