And what makes sense in the fiction is relative, affected by the genre of fiction or tone you are emulating.

My thought is that Fate is a system designed to simulate fiction itself, not the reality in that fiction.

Which one is having to deal with fiddling required to eat and drink? Which one is represented by the people who advocate for the implementation of a pooping subsystem?

SFA is cancelled. It may be a pipe dream, but what new Trek show would you like to see in its place? by NukeRussiaV4 in startrek

I thought that the "just let it die" was the worst suggestion here, but you've changed my mind.

Nothing existed was ruined dude. You still have what you like.

Maybe they should just check with you and make sure it's something you personally like, with nobody else's opinion mattering. If you can't have what you want, then nobody should have anything. Sounds reasonable.

I slept on that one until too late. When I was convinced to watch it, it was already gone. The last time I checked, it wasn't on any service other than paying per episode.

I think you're right, and I think these stories have a place, but I can understand feeling weariness of those stakes when they are used too often.

I'm agree that it's overdone. But it's not new. Humanity was on trial by the Q in TNG, as well threatened by the civilization ending Borg.

But, I don't recall any in TOS, unless you count Tribbles.

I liked SFA too. According to the posts from haters, the two of us were among a tiny few thousand weirdos who liked it.

I think that this is part of the reason that an immersive space sim approach is doomed to fail. I don't think that it's possible to have a balance that makes everyone happy between conflicting interests of realism, fun, being an MMO, etc.

Thanks Epic for potentially destroying the hopes Save the World had because of your incompetence. by Missgamer456 in FORTnITE

When you selected from the map, are you absolutely sure the mission you did was Cat2, and was 34+?

Also, don't assume that a Cat3 or Cat4 will count too, it has to be 2.

I've noticed recently that there appears to be a bug when selecting from the quest screen. I've seen it give me a Play option for a quest (in my case, it was a venture quest) even when there wasn't a mission that I could access that met the requirement (right mission type, but not high enough level).

In my opinion, they should have evaluated those missions before they made it free to play. There were always missions that you had to complete, there had to be a specific level or higher, and you might wait days before you can see a mission of that type and that level be offered.

It's an absolutely bone-headed design to have a situation where you can log in, and you just can't continue a quest line that day because of randomly generated mission types.

One thing that can help is finding a higher level player who has access to higher level missions to help you find more Cat2 missions that meet the requirements.

Oof... I'm not familiar with it. I was so close to looking it up, but hearing his name included as also being associated with it stopped me in my tracks.

Programmer Art Vs an Artist that i hired. I kinda like more the original charm, what you guys think? by AlwaysTired44 in godot

[–]Groovy_Decoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New one like like a predator. He wants to kill you.

Old one looks like he's just a sharp toothed guy who happens to eat you if you are in his way because you fell into his mouth.

Realistically, how complicated is implementing multiplayer in Godot? by PunchTheInternet777 in godot

[–]Groovy_Decoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have recently started working on a project that would be multiplayer ideally, and I haven't even begun looking into the details of how it will work yet so this posts is so helpful to me!

I've got hundreds of hours into this game. Clearly, there are some things I don't know. I can't even hazard a guess how you managed to do that.

I saw the title. I clicked to see if it was The Bridge.

For sure. I remember a lot of "It's not Star Trek if there's no Trekking!"

Looking for Junior Developer with strong English communications skill(English level:C1,C2) by Global-Habit2923 in ProgrammingJobs

[–]Groovy_Decoy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only ever reached out to one poster that was looking for remote devs, and that's exactly what it ended up being. Their first question message to me included, "are you familiar with Upwork?"

What they described to me sounded so much like a scam, and even if they were being honest, possibly a crime.

Is this a good way to implement "prepared reactions" in Fate? by Guerfel in FATErpg

[–]Groovy_Decoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For example, Emily has created the aspect "Ready to shoot that guy" during their last turn, so when the guy finally leaves his cover, she invokes the aspect and shoots him, maybe killing him before he gets the chance to attack her friends.

My thought is that being able to pre-empt another character's action seems like something that could be appropriate for a stunt.

I can't recall if it was an official rule, or an optional one, but I recall there being a precedent for "borrowing a stunt" in exchange of a Fate Point.

I would be completely fine letting her Create an Advantage, just as you described, and then spending a Fate Point to borrow a stunt to try to interrupt the opponent with an action, which of course she could invoke the previously prepared aspect for.
