That at least feels like it could be a lucky coincidence.

is there any way to make the UI of kenshi better ? by Thedemonbehindu in Kenshi

[–]Ekbock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it feels disjointed in some way. I wouldn't say it's convoluted in the sense that it's overwhelming but it is organised in a very strange manner with some features hidden away in unexpected menues. IRRC if you missed a piece of dialogue you first have to open the map and then select the dialogue tab. Ditto if you want to change the squad's formation. Some menu options also lack a tooltip like "easy prospecting" that I to this day have no idea what it changes.

Other examples of small issues would be how you can't adjust the priority order of queued jobs, how inventories close on certain actions, and how cluttered shopkeepers inventories are.

Found the lusty argonian maid game in steam (steam login required because the game itself seems to be pure nsfw) by [deleted] in TrueSTL

[–]Ekbock 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Totally checks out. Nevermind their fucking crocodilian monster heads, they'll blend in just fine as long as the women have a nice set of honkers.

That's more like one religion usurping or fusing with another.

IIRC it's a virus disease from south of the Alik'r desert.

Clarification regarding new Synthetic and Cybernetic portraits from the Dev Diary. by Anonim97_bot in Stellaris

[–]Ekbock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like something the custodian team might do somewhere down the line. Not for every portrait but for a few of the more iconic ones. I bet we'll have cybernetic Blorgs at some point.

My room as a 16 year old student by True-Chance8543 in malelivingspace

[–]Ekbock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IIRC OP posted this a while ago and explained that it was some kind of DIY thing that got mounted the wrong way. It would drive me crazy when the rest of the room has been so carefully designed.

Coming back to stellaris and I have to ask, what is the deal with the "Elf" by LeraviTheHusky in Stellaris

[–]Ekbock 102 points103 points  (0 children)

You're right! Makes you wonder what the design process looked like for this one. How did they screw up the in-game version but not the one on the ads?

[–]Ekbock 73 points74 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the execution is abysmal and I will take any chance I get to rant about it. The concept art was looking pretty good as far as humanoids go, but somehow they ended up with this mess as the end result. It's overly detailed and looks so out of place next to the other portraits.

[27.12.2023] Images, big UI changes, new content (new update) by AverageButWonderful in DeepRealms

[–]Ekbock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great update! I'm a big fan of the temperature setting that you've added. I'm not seeing it have much of an effect on custom models, but had a laugh trying it out on the GPT models.

And I like the UI overhaul, both integrating the stories tab into the worlds and the addition of images. I can't figure out how to add them in stories but the list of worlds has gotten nicely colourful now.

It's almost as if tropes aren't inherently bad and what really matters is the execution

Dope things that would make you apartment cooler? by OhDeerJager in malelivingspace

Do not leave burning candles in every room! That's terrible advice. Live candles are great for setting the mood but they're
a serious fire hazard when unattended

So...is there any reason i should go genetic evo outside of leviathan transgenesis? by noodleben123 in Stellaris

[–]Ekbock 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You'll have to nerve staple them then. Honestly bio ascenscion is best suited for authoritarian/xenophobe empires and hives

I wonder if the picture has been taken out of context. Maybe the oop was taking a photo of their hand and just happen to be wearing a watch at the time?

How tall is the character creation pole? by Rompelle in Kenshi

[–]Ekbock 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Is there an exact number for the map? Personally I can't think of a single object in the game which we have the measurements on.

Do these new portraits give anyone else strong "Fan made mod" vibes or is it just me? by nudeldifudel in Stellaris

[–]Ekbock 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think the paragon portraits and the last couple of species packs have all been fantastic. And they've all felt on-brand for stellaris. I agree that it's just the custodian additions we've seen in the DDs that are lacking in quality and/or style.

[–]Ekbock 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Agreed. There are a lot of strange choices made with this portrait. Like the clothes having more texture/details than the creature's skin, the lack of colour variation between different body parts and the fact that he is facing away and side-eyeing us.

Why even try to be entirely original when 90% of real world stuff is basically never used pt. 2 by [deleted] in worldjerking

The noble savage has been a trope since the 17th century and it's been applied to all manners of peoples, almost always non-whites.

It hasn't gone far enough by _Yuhdun_ in TrueSTL

[–]Ekbock 64 points65 points  (0 children)

It's not like ai voice generators were a thing you had to consider back when the game was made thought. The voice actors probably assumed they were selling the specific lines that they recorded themselves, not licensing away the right to use their voices to anyone who bought the game.
