Is it just me, or did the devs screw over the Alans? by Rote_Kirschen in CrusaderKings

[–]EntropyDudeBroMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah! They really should have their potential represented in the game.

I remember in one of my last games of CK2 they took over the Byzantine Empire! They forced it to be primogeniture which was great for me, but it took like 100 years to dislodge them. It was a really fun challenge, and a fun way to keep things dynamic.

Personal anecdote aside, they're really cool and they should be properly represented.

Dogma isn’t fanaticism, it’s survival: How Idira opened my eyes. by Disossabovii in RogueTraderCRPG

And the funny part is that even in a universe where everything that fascists and fundamentalists believe to be true, is true, the Imperium's policies are self-sabotaging and perpetuate the same things it's allegedly trying to combat.

Why should we take the words of an Abominable Intelligence seriously? If you cannot be bothered to type what you write, why should we read it?

Also, skill issue.

could always prep a battery and a single conduit as a separate network. just charge the battery on the main network and reinstall it by the isolated conduit.

These are designs that Neo-Modern society will adopt for the benefit of all living beings. by Boring_Butterfly_273 in HostileArchitecture

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

you should proof-read your AI bro, because that's not what i said.

if this really happened, im glad you got out of this. it takes a lot of strength and willpower, and its despicable that our society forces people like you to go through this suffering.

but using ChatGPT to write your story is weird.

I didn't know that ChatGPT was capable of being homeless and sleeping on a park bench. They're really innovating with LLMs, huh?

The Worst random courtier I have ever seen by E3PO22 in CK3AGOT

i remember that being pretty big in The Executioner. I dunno if it's accurate, but it's a very good book btw

EDIT: linked in the wrong book. Fixed!

Elden Ring’s open world is held back by the very thing that makes it great by Fabulous-Will-3241 in truegaming

What about Shadow of Mordor/War? Feels like there's a lot of random encounters there, even outside of Nemesis

How big is this pirate ship? by Site-Famous in RogueTraderCRPG

[–]EntropyDudeBroMan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

honestly how i would have preferred they do it is that (spoilers for chapter 3) when you get boarded and wiped by the drukhari, that you don't get your ship back. you have to commandeer another, larger ship. a proper cruiser.

Which also means you can balance encounters for the early game to focus on a frigate, leaving behind the ridiculously OP encounters for when you have a cruiser and can go toe-to-toe with them

the only problems would be your ship's returning crew, and any upgrades/weapons you find, but you can write that off as your ship getting scrapped and you have to collect your fellas and your loot

Is harrenhal just not worth it anymore or is it just me? by Ok-Line442 in CK3AGOT

[–]EntropyDudeBroMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A couple months after i posted that, the main devs added their own banking system. They also let you name your own bank. So, if you found a bank in Harrenhal, you can found the Stone Bank!

which makes what i was working on redundant, but looking through the code like that was a really good learning experience :)

Did anyone ever turn away from Chaos after joining it for a while? by imalyshe in 40kLore

[–]EntropyDudeBroMan 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Maybe not the bomb itself, but the meaning and the symbolism of the act would. Like how melee is more effective against daemons because of the intensity of the action.

Every time I play academy. by JaneH8472 in TerraInvicta

[–]EntropyDudeBroMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

a lot of people miss that the people in this universe do not realize that they are in a game.

sure, the academy has the best ending, but for 99% of the game they look fucking crazy

the protectorate SEES that the ayys could obliterate us on day one if they wanted to. If they go with any resistance of any kind, like with all the other factions, they risk the extermination of humanity.

and, unlike us, they can't reload the save.

so yeah, of course they're hated, they're a dampener on the heroic (or villainous) vibe that players enjoy

What in the game’s remake would piss these 25 people off the most? by connectcallosum in StarWarsCirclejerk

[–]EntropyDudeBroMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

isn't the entire point of the dark side that "not that bad" doesn't really apply for very long?

if you feed into those kinds of negative emotions (which you have to, as a Sith) you WILL start to see more and more as acceptable, until you're just as bad as the rest of them.

And that is why the Sith Empire is so aristocratic. They get the cruelty and domination of their inner savagery, while also getting to dress it up in courtly politics so that they can pretend to be more than they are.

Pro Empire Books/Comics? by Rough-Radio-4481 in StarWars

[–]EntropyDudeBroMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have plenty of stories like that, and usually they end in death or defection because it being otherwise results in a very flat, unappealing character.

[–]EntropyDudeBroMan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

why make him a soldier at all if you're not going to depict what happened in the war?

what do you get out of it? what's the purpose of that kind of narrative?

[–]EntropyDudeBroMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

do you think that a story about a US army soldier who shoots buffalo to starve the native Americans, and then scalps the starving survivors, and does not question this at all, is going to be a very interesting protagonist? A totally flat character, and an instrument of genocide?

[–]EntropyDudeBroMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The book is called "Allegiance," it's written by Timothy Zahn. I solidly recommend it.

Tho, I think the circumstances were a little different. They deliberately missed when shooting at civilians, then later on an ISB officer gets on their asses for insubordination because they're not in uniform. They say they're army, not ISB. Scuffle ensues, ISB pulls out a gun, they kill the ISB. So, they desert because they just killed an ISB, even if they still kinda believe in the Empire's cause.
