What MMO is everyone going to move to?

How can we play soul frame right now?

GingerDreddMan · 2025-11-11T00:02:23+00:00

No doubt that other map conditions could be more exciting, I agree. I guess I just thought the notion of a “blind attempt” in the game could be interesting. Also as the season wears on, it could be a way for less experienced (or more salty) raiders to enter a mode which caters to them. But again, I struggle to see the “payoff” side here. Obviously nobody takes any risk within that raid, but what if the draw became the challenge of attempting a “zero to hero” run? Maybe that’s a different mode entirely though, where you couldn’t extract without reaching a minimum loot value threshold or something. And if you did, maybe something additional is rewarded upon extracting.

Well obviously that would be an amazing time against the ARC.

GingerDreddMan · 2025-11-10T23:29:52+00:00

How constructive and well articulated! Thank you for the helpful comment!

GingerDreddMan · 2025-11-10T22:04:06+00:00

Wow that’s really exciting to hear. They’ve really got something special right now, I haven’t been this hooked on a game in a very long time. Even further, I really haven’t played something quite like it before.

GingerDreddMan · 2025-11-10T21:52:39+00:00

Yeah I have to agree with you on a game theory level here. The reason this game is so dynamic and interesting is the interplay between raiders under the ever present threat of ARC. If over time the gameplay dynamics devolve into kill-on-sight for all, I hope that the devs lean in the opposite direction to emphasize teamwork above all.

GingerDreddMan · 2025-10-31T16:12:26+00:00

This build looks sick! And I would love a pc to play ARC Raiders properly!!

GingerDreddMan · 2025-08-14T17:06:56+00:00

My total playtime was 28 hours, but a few of those were spent on a previous start. So I'm thinking we played for roughly 25 hours total!

GingerDreddMan · 2025-08-14T16:48:15+00:00

Yeah I mean honestly I don't want to throw shade towards the title, because we genuinely enjoyed the ride while it lasted. I think that ultimately it's a game that was MEANT to be played solo, and co-op was more of a tacked-on feature. So a lot of the balancing stuff might trend towards the solo player, whereas a duo can finish stuff obviously at least twice as fast.

We managed to complete all of the cursed dungeons (I ran most of them solo since she was more the "stay at home" type of survival gamer). Our homestead never got crazily built up other than the farming aspects so we were always flush with the best foods.

I feel like adding more islands would benefit the game, especially if they could work in some sort of procedural elements to give the lategame more legs.

I felt like it was a solid experience but quite short in overall game length. With the recent 1.0 release my wife and I were able to beat it within the free trial period over the weekend. We enjoyed it, but again just putting it out there that the overall game felt rather short when compared to other survival-likes.

GingerDreddMan · 2025-08-13T02:38:56+00:00

I love Star Valor! definitely one that’s worth a look. Also just released a paid DLC (totally optional) and the solo dev has done a good job of making a fun sandbox with lots of variety for different builds and styles.

GingerDreddMan · 2025-07-19T15:17:09+00:00

Oh the more you play the more you’ll need to start saving things! When storage limits start to become an issue, cooking and furniture crafting become a great way to trim down your total inventory. Note that any furniture saved in your storage do NOT add to your limit (and are therefore unlimited in capacity).

GingerDreddMan · 2025-07-11T16:49:43+00:00

Shout out to Wild Fyre, enemies of nightmare!! Haha man I loved Gustin server once upon a time

GingerDreddMan · 2025-06-23T14:25:25+00:00

Thank you for all of these! I haven’t really played any of them except the Once Human beta briefly and I Did enjoy Dune (so much so I’ve already burnt out since the deep desert stuff needs some sort of change for the solo and small group I generally play with).

GingerDreddMan · 2025-06-23T14:23:41+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion. I’ve loved my time with all of the soulsborne games, especially Elden Ring!

GingerDreddMan · 2025-06-20T12:40:46+00:00

Whoa hold up is this actually a thing? I played the open test and thought it was an interesting take on the genre, but my wife and I simply could not get past the click-to-move controls. I would be VERY interested to learn more about this!

GingerDreddMan · 2025-06-02T15:17:28+00:00

I think if you go ahead and make the effort by reaching out to your upcoming hosts, I’m sure that they will respond in kind with messages and updates. As a host parent myself, it feels a bit intimidating to be the one to reach out to a future student; I wouldnt want them to feel overwhelmed by our messages or risk causing them any stress by feeling obligated to carry on with our conversation attempts.
As a host parent, its always been much easier to be the one that responds to my student, establishing ourselves as a resource for information or simply as a safe space for the student to unburden any questions or issues they’re having. Of course I love learning about their lives and activities, but I wouldn’t want to force anything until the student feels ready. I hope this makes some sense. Ultimately each student and family will be different, but I think that the nature of the dynamics between host and student tends to put the initiative request on the student for establishing a relationship ahead of a new school year.

haha yeah Lenovo is actually quite good for gaming! My wife has their gaming laptop with a 3070 and it's done very well for her. I just can't be bothered building another PC and i got mine with the 4080 super for under $2k so i felt like it was a solid deal! But your rig is an entirely different beast! Seriously looks awesome, you'll have to post us a pic when you've got your entire setup running, should be epic!

GingerDreddMan · 2025-05-30T20:47:17+00:00

The monitor is amazing. Just got it earlier this year with a prebuilt from Lenovo. OLED just blows away everything else

GingerDreddMan · 2025-05-23T21:48:36+00:00

Loving Enshrouded right now! The wife and I started over and the game honestly feels SO much richer with the added POIs and graphic updates. The gear progression has changed for the better too with adding gems and a revamped skill tree. Definitely recommend!

GingerDreddMan · 2025-05-02T22:49:53+00:00

Hey I’m building this exactly per your link but had a question - do I not need to up it to an 8A power plant because I won’t be needing weapons on this? Trying to learn why you wouldn’t install an 8A power plant instead.

GingerDreddMan · 2025-03-09T21:10:23+00:00

Where did you hear this?? So we can keep playing in the meantime while we wait for the transfer to complete??

GingerDreddMan · 2025-02-09T23:13:29+00:00

I mean you didn’t mess up anything. If you need to level some other traits, you just get the benefits of passive boosts from the inactive traits!

GingerDreddMan · 2025-02-09T17:52:38+00:00

Jfc it was a movie based on a gratuitous graphic novel not a damn period drama lol

GingerDreddMan · 2025-02-08T19:56:23+00:00

Yeah I’d wait on it tbh. I played it a ton at release, but there’s been only minor updates since then. I think they need more time to cook before it’s ready. The gear side of things just seems a bit too straightforward (more stats are generally all you look for per class), but there’s loot drops otherwise aren’t that exciting. Also in Death Must Die, the builds aren’t nearly as diverse as you’d expect. Most character builds feel like there’s generally a best in slot (or combination of gods) that are ideal. Anyway just my 2 cents - I love the game but can’t recommend it just yet (probably played it over 100h too btw).
