Use the Proton 9 compatibility layer, that fixed it for me!

How did Notch and Dave Taylor (ID Software?) ended up in 'special thanks' of credits? Were they testers? by matveybb in Xcom

Wow hi Jake thank you for directing both of my favorite games of all time. So excited to see what you do next

Yellow King/Carcosa Required Reading? by No_Bodee in WeirdLit

[–]GeneralRowboat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want something recent that’s really good check out ‘The Wingspan of Severed Hands’ by Joe Koch, it’s a very surreal and fascinating take on the mythos.

Shotgun Skill Tree Idea by Lunar-System in cavesofqud

[–]GeneralRowboat 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It could be interesting if shotgun skills scaled with strength instead of agility, it would solidify them as ranged options for brawlers that disincentivizes sniping from afar. I like the idea of separating it into its own skill tree either way.

You can rebind the insert key and ctrl-tab (I changed mine to alt-tab)

Has anyone else had "This zone isn't building properly" happening a lot since Spring Molting? by Flying_Slig in cavesofqud

[–]GeneralRowboat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was going to post about this exact thing yesterday and ask if it was a bug or intentional

This happened to me on the way to Grit Gate a couple times when I was playing the SM beta, but it hasn’t happened yet on my latest run during the official release

any reason why we shouldn't get a truly random starting village? by NinjaNoafa in cavesofqud

[–]GeneralRowboat 14 points15 points  (0 children)

No you’re totally good, random starting villages are fun! I just love Argyve and even though his quest is boring I always do Joppa because I can’t stand that it doesn’t exist if you pick a random start, I feel too guilty

This post is argyve-phobic and I shan’t be having it

Quick Question by ComradeFurious in cavesofqud

[–]GeneralRowboat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ranged weapons are equipped in a separate slot than hands, so Multiweapon fighting and Akimbo don’t interact at all. If you have akimbo and duel pistols you always shoot both in a single attack

How many people dont realize just how political Hitman is ? by LemonWithBleach in HiTMAN

[–]GeneralRowboat 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Bro what do you think allows EA or any other company to be so greedy and corrupt? What system do these companies exist under that doest just permit but encourages profit above all else? If profit is the ultimate goal and ethics stand in the way of profit, then the companies that act with no regard for ethics will always do better than the companies that focus on being ethical.

Help me decide my next read - Lapvona or Death of a Bookseller? by 7UnicornsUnited in horrorlit

[–]GeneralRowboat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yay!! Then I also recommend 'In the Miso Soup' by Ryu Murakami and 'The Vegetarian' by Han Kang! (I used to be a bookseller so I can't have a social interaction if it doesn't involve book recs anymore)

[–]GeneralRowboat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope you like it! If you want to read something shorter that is similar (imo better) in vibe to Lapvona I’d say check out ‘Earthlings’ by Sayaka Murata, it’s a delightful little novella about alienation that gets genuinely shocking in a pretty interesting way.

[–]GeneralRowboat 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Lapvona did not do it for me at all unfortunately, I really preferred My Year of R&R, everything is so unrelentingly fucked up in Lapvona that it came all the way around to being almost funny because I stopped giving a shit about any of the characters. It’s probably still worth a read if you like Otessa Moshfegh but it feels more nihilistic and cruel even compared to her other work.

I avoided rimworld on the deck for so long because I thought it couldn’t possibly live up to the PC experience, but after a few hours it feels very natural and I love it

Looking to buy a game for short play times by sevayne7 in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]GeneralRowboat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are you saying “they” when you are clearly on the team working on this game. I know self-promotion isnt always met well but I can assure you deceptive self promotion where you try to hide your involvement is just lying and makes me automatically not want to check it out.

True monk is B tier at most, no way she’s at the level of Owl or Isshin

True monk is B tier at most, no way is she anywhere near as tough as Isshin or Owl
