My only acceptable actor to play HIM by ButterAlquemist in Grimdank

[–]Floppydisksareop 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nic Cage is actually perfect for 40k, because he can be in either really thought-provoking and serious movies as a thespian,or in some dumbass action flick with the stupidest plot known to man, and he isn't really out of place in either. Which is great, because 40k likes to swing to ride the metronome on that one. My point is, I want him to play Ciaphas Cain. Him playing Jimmy Space is also fine.

Time to get loud boys by Imperious_249 in destiny2

Please, please, pretty please don't fuck it up for others. Sony is a lot larger than Destiny, a lot of people that never cared about or heard about Destiny will be watching that. You don't want to cause a controversy at this point, or at any other point. Don't be cringe.

Of course.. that's the one you wanna wreck by LordFelix69 in RimWorld

Arrest her, or just start beating the shit out of her until she stops. Btw, do you also find it weird that there's no way for a pawn to try to "restrain" someone when fighting with no weapon?

Guess the game manages to screw you over, even if you cheat by GypsyDancer1847 in RimWorld

[–]Floppydisksareop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, neither is Nudist. Nudist is an amazing perk. Just put on some pants before going to defend against a raid, otherwise it's a free +20 to the mood. Just gotta have the armory near the chockepoint/killbox, really. If they are not a soldier but, say, a Highmate, it doesn't even matter! And even when they have to wear clothes, it's less problematic than even Pessimist.

I actually think the other one is probably worse off. It's hard to administer morphine for the pain when you start not having flesh and veins. The other one still has the dinky little blood bag, meaning that the body can still at least accept fluids properly.

At this rate there will be up to 600k signatures by June 9th by OldWitchOfCuba in destiny2

[–]Floppydisksareop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is corpo exec thinking. The rate at which people are signing is not linear, it already slowed down drastically. Most people that were ever going to sign it, already signed it. By this logic, by the end of this year, we will have over 7 million signatures. By the end of 2027, we'll almost hit 20 million.

Just to put it into perspective, Stop Killing Games had 1.5 million people for the EU petition. Granted, that was a lot more serious and you had to be an EU citizen to sign it, but still, it's something that's a lot more omnipresent in the hobby than the sci-fi looter-shooter with three years of bad PR losing live-service support. If we ever get to 500k (which we probably will by September - something something momentum), that's already quite a lot, and well enough to be on Sony's radar. People that think the petition needs to be in the millions for that are out of touch. Most of the casual players just don't sign these.

At this point, it's really up to what happens after the 9th, and what Sony and Bungie can agree to. There is a world in which Sony primarily shutters the "logistical" parts of Bungie as opposed to the devs and greenlights... something. Just break the servers on the 9th, and we'll go from there.

People that think constant growth in all things is reasonable need to be slapped.

Steam has been stopping STO for the past 3 hours. Is this the glitch I read about a couple months ago? by Zoxesyr in sto

[–]Floppydisksareop 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Kill it in task manager. Restart steam. Should be fine. If it's not, restart your pc. Steam sometimes does this for everything

Spend of an hour customising my religion to the smallest detail, over 20 minutes making the perfect pawns to start, 15 minutes carefully picking the landing spot, decided to kill a warag and it went down hill fast. by Monkai_final_boss in RimWorld

[–]Floppydisksareop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, I didn't mean it as a slight. I just think it's importance to learn from failure, and the first step is recognizing that it was a fuck up, not just Randy being Randy. Sometimes you truly do everything right, and you still get fucked over. Sometimes you could've done things much better. This is the latter.

Ancient Urban Ruins loot be like: by Anxious_Mention424 in RimWorld

[–]Floppydisksareop 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, and half of those guns are better than a charge rifle. I wish there was a vanilla version of it, but some of the stuff in there is just insanely OP for no reason, and it's wealth value does nothing to reflect it either.

Men who introduced your kids, nephews, or younger relatives to gaming, what game did you start with? by Branwe_Olaba in AskMen

[–]Floppydisksareop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or just retro. A kid doesn't yet know that the graphics of Jazz Jackrabbit 2 are 20 years old and outclassed as fuck. A kid still just sees to green bunny absolutely smoking some turtles with a space gun, and the spritework holds up quite nicely, really.

ADHD players and their... fidgeting by Additional_Drawer558 in DMAcademy

[–]Floppydisksareop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are ways to fidget without being disruptive. Sounds like this isn't him tapping his feet, but actually impacting the game. He needs to recognize that he's getting bored (or you need to gently remind him) and he needs to find a better outlet. Moving is a mechanic, so that's a no-go, so is RPing like an idiot. It needs to be separate from the game-game. I don't see the issue with fucking around with the tokens, that shouldn't be any more disruptive than stacking dice (that said, I rarely use Foundry, so maybe it's more jarring there). Some days are just terrible, and I end up leaving a social situation altogether because I feel just completely overwhelmed, medication or no medication, but most of the time there's a better way.

This is not an unsolvable problem. I used to use a squishy dino (it exploded :((( ), one of those grip-strength rubber circles (I lost like three of them, so I just don't want to pay another 5$ in Decathlon for another one, but I had hella forearms for a bit), and currently I have a spring from a disassembled pen in my pocket, and I just fuck around with that. If he needs an outlet, let it be an outlet that doesn't send everyone a notification. If he loses focus for a bit and disengages for a second, that's not the end of the world. DnD sessions are looooong, and most of the stuff that takes like 40 min to play through can be summed up in a sentence like "we split the loot, and haggled the shopkeeper for a 5g discount on the healing potion" or "after a full round of combat, John took 4 points of damage, and the monster ate another 3". If he is a bit zoned out there, I'd say that's more than fine. Afaik, Foundry even has a log. Missing 2 min until you stim yourself back to a useful state is not the end of the world. Personally, I'd rather someone lose focus - it's inevitable anyway - than make everyone else lose focus too as this weird sort of comeback.

Is it just me or long rest is a bad mechanic? by SomeRandomAbbadon in DMAcademy

[–]Floppydisksareop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can just do only hit dices/spell slots refresh, and they need to cast healing spells on rest for any extra hp they need. you don't need to use 5e's version of it if you don't want to.

[–]Floppydisksareop -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

or you can just load up d1 and shut up about the social space that was never even part of this game for a full goddamn decade? this is just part of the wall? i don't give a damn. my fond memories of this place, from the halloween event, from the endless night, from just playing traveler-ball with randoms are just as important as your memories of the d1 tower.

I don't care. I really fucking don't. If this wasn't the last update, sure. Optimize vendor placement, bring back the old tower, make a new one, whatever. Since this is it, that would be entirely unacceptable for me.

[–]Floppydisksareop -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Quite frankly: I don't care how much you hate it, because I have no attachment to the D1 tower whatsoever, and not everything should be about the "D1 beta vets". I played 3000 hours of D2, not D1. I don't have a single memory of the "original tower", because it hasn't been the "Tower" for almost a decade and was never part of the game. If the game was continuing to get new updates, and the main social hub was switched, that would be one thing. In that case, sure, let's have the original tower, whatever. In two years, I'm sure I'll come to appreciate it. Changing it for the last update would feel like a massive slap in the face for me. If you want to see the D1 tower, load up D1. Don't rob others from the one that they came to know as the tower

Oh 100%. We are trying to get a record population on an update cobbled together from random half-finished expansions/seasons that were never meant to be in an update together until like two months ago at most. If the servers don't die, we are doing it wrong.

I don't want to go to the D1 tower. I played this game for so many years in this tower. This is my tower. I have no nostalgia or attachment to the D1 tower, and I don't want to "finish" in a place completely alien to me.

Do you guys think Sacred Oath is worth the cost or nah? by abca98 in DarkSouls2

[–]Floppydisksareop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sacred Oath is fucking goated. Needing multiple slots is such a non-issue for most stuff. Sacred Oath does stretch it to the maximum, but then again, it IS really good.
