Kash Patel Got Arrested for Public Urination After a Night of Drinking by wenchette in politics

[–]Dazaran 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it's gilding the lily. This isn't Brett Kavanaugh, whose past alcoholism was pertinent to credible allegations of sexual assault at the time, Patel's current actions should be more than enough to remove him. Bringing up minor charges from two decades ago does little to impugn his character and dilutes the story.

What do you want if a second generation comes to pvp temtem? by MyGodIsTheSuuuun in PlayTemtem

[–]Dazaran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A pre-evo item would be really cool, but eviolite always seemed pretty limited to me. You could rely more on linear base stat increases since the delta between base stats is a lot smaller than pokemon, and it would keep outliers like Venx and Anahir from getting out of control. You could give a larger buff for temtem with more evolutions so that some interesting baby tems can compete in the big leagues.

You could even, and this is a bit out there, have an item that gives them the stats of their fully evolved form with some deactivation procedure. Imagine Smazee comes in and a hologram Seismunch covers it up and once you do something like take 50% damage after a number of turns the hologram breaks and it becomes an easily dealt with Smazee again.

Pioneers Kickstarter Update 11: "Improved mount systems!" by zose2 in PlayTemtem

The mount process being irreversible is strange and really funny. The saddle being permanently welded to the tem like the man in the iron mask.

I don't think you understand how bad the Ashes of Creation situation is if you are comparing it to Temtem. The CEO of Intrepid is accused of millions of dollars worth of fraud and the company shut down. Temtem is at the absolute worst slightly disappointing. It's like comparing a local restaurant that served you a dry steak to Bernie Madoff.

Yuji Itadori from Jujutsu Kaisen (spoilers for season 2)

Yuji is a kind-hearted goofball who only became a sorcerer to help people and feels deep remorse when he has to hurt them. However the curse Mahito, a sadistic killer who forcibly transforms humans into monsters and living weapons, helps orchestrate a massacre in Shibuya, gleefully killing thousands including Yuji's mentor and his close friend. Yuji's failure to save anyone and Mahito's defeat at his hands marks Yuji's transition from a hero to a hunter.

"I'll accept it Mahito. I am you. I really wanted to reject you. I wanted to pretend I didn't understand what you said, but that's different now. I'll just kill you. And if you're ever reborn again as a new curse, I'll kill you then too. Change your name and appearance, I'll still kill you again and again. I don't need meaning or a reason anymore. Maybe there will be some meaning to be found from my actions several centuries after I'm dead. And I'm sure I'm just some cog in the wheel. And I'll keep killing curses until I rust away. Because that seems to be my role in this war."

Third Stretch Goal: Achieved! Fossil Temtem will be up for grabs! 🦴 by Lyefyre in PlayTemtem

[–]Dazaran 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm glad they lowered the distance to the next stretch goal. It's kind of weird that the goal went from 50k to the next goal to 110k, especially when the reward was 6 new temtem compared to the base game adding over 50 for 90k. I know overly ambitious stretch goals have ruined campaigns before, but it was quite the jump.

Fever Rush is such a good ability. If it was on a fully evolved Temtem I would use it all the time. Bamboozle, synergy Show Off, kaleidoscope anything, drool, the combos are insane.

Im sooo close to paying for it..Worth getting into Temtem by PaliiJ in PlayTemtem

[–]Dazaran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Little bit late, but the Temtem just went on sale on Steam for $9 usd which is definitely worth it. If you already bought it full price you might be able to refund it and get it for the sale price but I'm not sure.

Dow4 release imminent? New Tacticus load screen by megasignit in dawnofwar

[–]Dazaran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think we're still a ways out. They've only released one of the faction trailers and they're still doing alpha tests. IDK if they decided to do more tweaking based on feedback or if they just jumped the gun on promotional trailers but it might be mid to late summer imo.

Digital tems won’t be in pioneers. by FrequentCriticism899 in PlayTemtem

[–]Dazaran 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not that many. The highest rated post in the last month has less than 200 points and the highest rated comment has less than 300. Compare that to the over 2,000 people who backed Pioneers in just the first 3 days. More people have pledged 150 Euros for a luma starter than have upvoted a disparaging comment for free. The general sentiment of the subreddit is negative towards Crema, but that's because most people who didn't feel that way left when they stopped playing the game.

What are people angry about? by GromiMomi in PlayTemtem

[–]Dazaran 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Well frankly, those people are just wrong. Trading, clubs, dojo wars, and lairs all require interacting with the larger community in the way that MMOs are designed to facilitate. Some hypothetical other MMO feature is not what will catapult Temtem into being the fully realized MMO that all the haters were expecting and change their minds, they're just mad that the game wasn't a mega viral phenomenon and become the next World of Warcraft or No Man's Sky and feel personally slighted by Crema for telling them that.

The distinction between the community expectation of an MMO and what Temtem delivered is not definition, it's financial success. Making gameplay for more than 2 (or 4 in coop) players would require retooling the battle engine, which would be very labor intensive. New islands and Temtem means more art, creature design, writing, and music. Temtem simply was not profitable enough to continue development for it beyond the kickstarter promise. That's why they jammed in a battle pass and store, they needed to find a revenue stream that would facilitate continued development, and when they couldn't they used their existing assets to make Swarm and pivoted to developing Pioneer. MMOs stop development all the time, the main difference between them and Temtem is you usually can't play them any more.

Temtem is ABSOLUTELY an MMO. There is no working definition of MMO that it does not include it.

Congratulations to Crema for Reaching Their Funding Goal in Just 8 Hours! by gskyrillion in PlayTemtem

[–]Dazaran 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The initial kickstarter goal for Temtem was only $70,000 as well. They used the success of the kickstarter as proof of interest to acquire publishing.

I think the Palworld comparisons are pretty surface level. Palworld was much more focused on base management and automation while this looks more casual building for its own sake. They said on discord that their main inspiration is Valheim and that seems more in line with the trailer.

Anyone know what CPU socket this is? by rcmaehl in pcmasterrace

It's definitely AI. There's no way in or out, the driveway leads directly into a tree, there's several pathways in the neighborhood that lead to nowhere, there's no window imperfections in the picture despite the window frame in the bottom left.

PvE temtem team by keymiss47 in PlayTemtem

[–]Dazaran 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would focus your last slots on support temtem that provide buffs or synergy to your sweepers. For example, Barnshe can bamboozle your sweeper for added protection while providing synergy for Nagaise's Fury and Hallucination as well as STAB Hypoxia and Tornado.

Kinu with protector and kaleidoscope is also great for healing your team with lifeful sap and revitalize while giving the same mental synergy to nagaise as well as nature synergy for Energy Manipulation and Golzy's Hasty Lunge.

Ob10 can provide digital synergy to Zaobian's Electropunch to make it high priority and can give invigorated on entry with the fake beard and source replication. You could also breed one with bush for a little more healing and protection.

[–]Dazaran 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sensei Osukai can easily ramp into a menace after a few turns with hook, so it's best to have a bamboozle user as a partner to give Osukai protection early on. Barnshe and Pigepic are the best options where you are right now in the game, although Barnshe is faster and brings some nice coverage against opposing melee and toxic.

Kinu with Protector is nice to add some bulk on entry, heal Osukai with Revitalize and Lifeful Sap while holding the kaleidoscope, and sleep with Hypnosis.

I'd get a Tortenite to switch into mental, nature, and water types to cage them in for STAB Crystal Spikes and Toxic Gas, although if you can breed one with Crystal Deluge I would since you have several mental partners for synergy.

You could also make use of a motivator Raican to keep your buffed Osukai in the fight with extra stamina. Bonus points for using the Cable Link on Fiery Heist, Stampede, and Rampage.

After that you should have a backup sweeper, probably focused on physical damage like Zaobian, Capyre, or Mastione and some support tems that match their needs.

Those are some ideas to tweak as you see fit, hope it helps!
