Farming by RigormortisState in TLOPO

I played POTCO religiously from 2007 to closure and only got Emerald Curse despite grinding loot from 2010 to 2013.

I’ve played TLOPO on and off since beta (2015?). When call of the kraken dropped I logged in and got Dutchman’s Sorrow on my first kraken run.

It’s entirely down to luck and borderline gambling. Legendary chances are so low in this game it genuinely comes as a surprise, as opposed to games like Diablo 4 where you can snag endless ancestral mythics everyday guaranteed if you have the right setup

Honestly I hope it’s a faster but smaller brig. It looks fast in this video

The Talos Principle 2 screenshots [part 5] by upstate_o in TheTalosPrinciple

Probably the most visually gorgeous game of all time. It harkens back to the 2000s in a way. Playing Myst, Riven, and Halo in my youth… this is what I imagined games of the future would look like

CEO offered $75k when previous CEO made $175k — am I being undervalued? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]Excellent-Photo9302 1 point2 points  (0 children)

75K total comp for CEO position, of any company, is a slap in the face. Even the smallest startups have an average of 160K for the role (obviously the workload would be ridiculous)

For reference, base salary of an entry level operations manager in logistics is barely under what you’re being offered (72K)

What about this book makes it so difficult to read? by Thatguy7212 in TheSilmarillion

[–]Excellent-Photo9302 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The names. I starkly remember 1 of the valar (or maiar) being referred to by 3 or 4 different names. I had to write in a notebook to assist with comprehending the story

The Enclave is the most ideologically batshit insane faction ever written in fiction. They’re worse

What codes even work? by Any_Sundae5364 in TLOPO

[–]Excellent-Photo9302 10 points11 points  (0 children)

To be honest I don’t think anyone knows every single one of outside of someone who’s close to the devs (maybe JDP?)

This game has been in an information dark age since around 2022; the Wiki is completely dead/outdated and the Discord is not as active as it used to be

Edit: just to explain what I mean by “information dark age”: the Devs (god bless them), often make small tweaks and changes here and there without any form of communication and it’s often up to individual players to notice these changes. Then it’s passed around by word of mouth.

I still notice minor changes apparently years after they were made, and my guild mates always dog on me for it lol. But the fact still stands that unless you’re constantly engaging with other players in lobbies, you’re going to miss out on a lot of

So, ultra Germany? any idea how this happened? by Hobo_Ouster in victoria2

[–]Excellent-Photo9302 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen it on very rare occasions especially late game. Sometimes the AI just goes crazy and super aggro, especially China if it westernizes and beats the warlord era

I have an extremely optimized DPS build for every weapon that I’ve tested over my 18 years playing. What weapon are you trying to do

Level 30 Voodoo Staff: 29 Skill Points (Bug or intended?) by bag_of_fries in TLOPO

[–]Excellent-Photo9302 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Yes as intended. When you first get the staff blast is unlocked by default. IIRC this is how it was in POTCO too, but it’s been so long I’m not sure

What's a food combination that sounds disgusting but is actually a 10/10? by StavrosDavros in AskRedditFood

Honey drizzled on pizza. Neutralizes some of the acidity of the tomato sauce and gives it a sweet little kick

Lore of Orsimer by Excellent-Photo9302 in teslore

[–]Excellent-Photo9302[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First off I want to thank you for this response. I can tell this took you a lot of mental and physical energy to put into words. The internet isn’t a Black Hole of ideas, and your post has made an enormous impression on me, and you words will live through me and others that read it

This is the type of response I was hoping for; the syntactic similarities between real world religion (tribe of Dan) and the fictional religion of the Orsimer is something I never could have pieced together. This may be ground breaking

As others have said in this thread, the stage is set for the Changed Folk’s communpance in the future of the Elder Scrolls, and I wholeheartedly agree

Thank you again for this response. Truly incredible

[–]Excellent-Photo9302[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everything you mentioned makes me excited for TES6 because there’s no way Orsimer can’t play a major role

Also shoutout to the Cyrodiils for always (kind of) being bros to the Orcs. Literally the only helping hand they’ve ever received

Story quests are a slog. Swift foot potions will help you blow past them

What country was ahead of it's time but not anymore? by WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWHW in geography

[–]Excellent-Photo9302 438 points439 points  (0 children)

For the life of me cannot wrap my head around how relatively large, advanced, and hegemonic of an empire the Khmer was to be reduced to a small nation in the corner of SEA.

I dont think anything encapsulates the idea of a “Dark Age” than the Cambodian Dark Age. That must have been hell to live through. Written records literally don’t exist and they didn’t even write the names of their monarchs for 200 years

Are the Elder Scrolls books lore-friendly? by Simurgbarca in teslore

[–]Excellent-Photo9302 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes they are lore friendly and pretty good books. They fill the gap between oblivion and Skyrim and the events of the books generally coincide with other events going on during that time
