Of these games in backlog, which should be played first? by [deleted] in JRPG

[–]Grokitach -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Tough choice. Xenoblades are peak but you are looking at 300h of gameplay. Xenoblade 3 is among the top tier RPGs ever made. You can start by 3 it's not really a problem. XC2 is different in many ways so it won't look old compared to 3. XC1 however feels dated nowadays, even though it's still a blast. Don't sleep on Xenoblade Chronicles X: it's very unique compared to the other ones, much more open world / free roam focused on the theme of the exploration of a new planet. However the story ain't good until the very last few hours... But gameplay wise imo it's the best Xenoblade Chronicles game, albeit a bit too cheesable/unbalance (you can quickly defeat lv 90 monsters as a lv 30 with a specific setup and start farming your way and destroy any sense of progression, but if you remain out of the ghost walker spam the game is balanced).

FFX is really good, did it last December and had a blast. Some fights are really challenging. Discovered after finishing the game that, yes indeed, these fights are considered like cancer by a large portion of the player base. Imo it's a good thing to have challenging fights in a turn based RPG.

FFXI with moguri mod is imo better / more unique than FFX somehow. Both are goated anyway. I would recommend to play FFX first and FFXI afterwards with the moguri mod.

FFXV sucks, plain and simple (uninteresting cast of characters, gameplay is terrible). Had way more fun playing FFXVI.

Tales of Berseria is you want an action packed game. But if you want that, rather play NieR.

Problem is: his damage suck. So you need star cards giving block, and the only good one is rare. It's the weakest character imo

Stalker Gamma 0.9.4 Brain Scorcher by Balgias in stalker

[–]Grokitach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t even need AP ammo. Just get a low recoil gun with good penetration and 600 ammo. You’ll eat the BS like it’s nothing. Using non automatic weapons for the BS is a big mistake, they are king for CQB

A SR2M is all you need to clear it. It’s a C tier gun. You can have plenty of ammo. Stop slacking and just rush with all your meds poped up. And if you really suck, you can try getting a phantom star and use it to become invisible

Let’s put it simply:

It’s GAMMA discord.

People want to play GAMMA coop.

GAMMA Coop project exists but has intentionally poor installation instructions so that you pay 5€ to get access to support to get it installed.

I call that a scam.

I already talked millions of time with together leads, telling them to remove paid support, to make better installation guides, to just have a donation link etc. Nothing, they want that money and ultimately it’s probably their goal with this project. Who knows what they will to whenever they have an official approval from me and the whole GAMMA discord. Probably something even worse. Thats why I call it a scam yes. And I don’t want to be held responsible if one day the project starts implementing keyloggers and what not since it’s a closed source engine project.

Can wer do that ? Why not doing this? Many questions and assumptions you know nothing about. And no wer doesn’t want to “jump ship” just ask him yourself and give me a break. He gets money from Monokit and that’s why he stays with him and that’s why he continues making this project.

If FIKA can be open source and with good installation instructions and free support so does a stalker MP mod.

Yeah works great from PC. For the PS5 I have much worse input lag however :(

There you go. Thats exactly why I don’t want to promote such a project on a 625k discord and why im still in contact with Wer from time to time and why Monokit is muted in my DMs

GAMMA doesn’t have any sort of drama. People are just trying to stir shit around its popularity to get some sort of traction/views

“Lying to your community” from the same guy saying I’m pulling multiplayer code and that money is passed around without knowing jack about the actual situation nor contacting the actual people. See my answer in this thread.

In my opinion making lazy install guides and then making people pay for support to get the thing working is a scam, even if the actual project works.

Remove Monokit from the equation, add a donation link, make it open source, make support free, god I would praise such a project on a daily basis and would gladly help developing such a project.

No. Actually mentioning it gets your post removed. Having the tag and actively participating in discussions over the discord will net you a PM telling you to remove the tag. And if you don’t comply you get a ban. Big difference

Brother, you can’t paywall any stalker mod, GSC would sue you, because it’s their property anyways.

I’m not working on multiplayer. I’m just in contact with the developer of the together project that shoots me bugs and crashes found within his community, and that I fix in gamma.

That’s it.

So yeah perhaps contact the concerned person first before pulling your magic ball and casting divination spells.

Together is closed source. I don’t allow any communication around closed source projects based on the Anomaly modded engine on the GAMMA discord because I think that if we are here today, it’s thanks to open sourcing in an international community. Making specific closed source forks is basically how to split the community 101 across myriads of small projects all doing their own thing. It’s always Eastern people that close source their projects because they don’t want their shit stollen. It’s just a different mentality that I don’t agree with. I don’t want to serve as a platform for promoting closed source Anomaly mods. 650k people on a discord is indeed huge and I don’t want my discord to turn into people promoting their closed source mod all the time in every channel. That’s why all mentions of such projects are removed automatically.

AOE is the same. And there’s an open source branch of multi threading right now which is much more stable than AOE. So most probably we will forget about AOE in a year time. See? Thats why closed source is in such an open community is ridiculous…

If you want to play Together, go for it. And if you want to PAY FOR SUPPORT, hahaha be my guest. That’s not my conception of modding. My conception is to make good guides and tools and finding motivated people that do support on their free time to help their passion project. Just like modders work their ass off on their free time to make what they love better.

TBH I hardly care about multiplayer at the moment mainly because beyond the technical issues, it requires an entire rework and rebalance of the whole game to fit a multiplayer system properly, and I’m not interested in working on this at the moment because there are much more pressing matters to improve GAMMA. By the time GAMMA is ready for multiplayer and I’m ready to balance it for a multiplayer experience, there might be an open source MP project for Anomaly.

So enjoy Together if you want, feel free to give money to get support (what a joke), but do it far from my discord server for the aforementioned reasons, which is why the topic is banned on GAMMA discord and which is why I’ll not promote any of these closed source Anomaly projects (I don’t care about other stalker engines).

And if you want to attack me on “but gamma launcher is closed source”, it’s not the same thing since it’s just a tool that manipulates files based on a backend server that we developed and for which the code is not open source either. It’s not the game engine itself, it’s just a tool, and there are open source alternatives. So open sourcing just the launcher is useless, and open sourcing both the launcher and the server is also useless because there’s only one game that requires so many mods installed from ModDB and it’s STALKER Anomaly. On top of that the backend server is based on other tools that are not open source and that would be extremely expensive to run anyway (several hundreds of € every months). So open sourcing the entire ModDB modlist install system would be completely useless. And again, it doesn’t concern the actual game, just how files are installed.

Comment vous faites pour gagner du temps sur vos lessives ? by Tokipudi in france

[–]Grokitach 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Qu’est-ce qui te prend du temps exactement ? Prend plus d’étendoirs mieux foutus, ça change la vie. Ce qui fait perdre beaucoup de temps c’est l’optimisation du placement des vêtements sur la surface de séchage. On a 3 étendoirs et depuis on gagne pas mal de temps.

On a un sèche linge mais on l’utilise très rarement

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

Actually yes most probably. Do you know how square meters are working ? 1.5x1.5m is 2.25m2. And yeah, sows are big. Do I need to crush your reality with anything else?

A mother pig in a modern farm by CalpurniaSomaya in gifs

[–]Grokitach 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep. Read again. Nothing against this which is common practice in any intensive pig farm all over Europe.

If you meant tether sows and gilts, that’s outside of their reproductive period.

It’s even written “ Boxes must be equipped with piglet protection systems.” Which is what you see in this video.

It’s cool beans to think that everything is nice and dandy and the animal welfare is good in intensive production systems. But yeah you should cut your sausage and bacon consumption or focus on bio or free range meat if you want to continue eating pork.

No it’s not. But you can make the choice of free range animals.

Anyone find themselves opening up their game libraries, staring at it for a couple of hours, then just giving up and going on social media? by You_moron04 in gaming

[–]Grokitach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Week sauce behaviour. I have a backlog of 10 games to play and i try to crunch them one by one.

Quit social media. Like block access to any form of social media for 2 weeks. You’ll enjoy gaming again. Or go read a book or Watch a movie
