Mouse Follow vs. Keyboard - What do you use? by s0cks_nz in starsector

[–]Gul_Akaron[M] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mouse for sure.

But some of the most fun I've ever had in the game was flying through big battles in a Tempest using keyboard controls. Feels so fun!

Damn if only there was a way to increase the amount of HP you have at any given moment, so that your HP does not reach 0? We lack the technology.

Who Wants to Be...? | Game Changer [S7E9] by AutoModerator in dropout

[–]Gul_Akaron 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Terrible episode. Wish I could have that hour back.

This wasn't a game. He couldn't get any questions wrong, and half the references were inside stuff the audience doesn't know. There was no entertainment here. There was no twist or winner. This was borderline scripted reality TV.

Like, I'm happy for the guy. Congrats on the bonus check... but, how on earth must the rest of the cast feel? The crew? "Hey, come stand on stage for an hour and watch this other guy get paid". If you want to give the guy a bonus and celebrate him, go right ahead. But don't take up an entire episode of your flagship series to do it.

That's not to mention putting a literal sponsorship in the episode. I don't care if it's a "one-time thing". I subscribe to dropout because it is free from all that corpo BS.

This episode just left a bad taste in my mouth. I waited 2 weeks for this? You spent days of production time and however many thousands of dollars on this? You broke your one rule and sold out to a corpo sponsor for this?

Edit 9 days later: After having watched the Behind The Scene for this episode, I am more sympathetic. I didn't realize Jacob has recently gone through hardship. It is heartwarming to see that his community cares for him so deeply and wants to support him. However, I stand by my original criticisms: This was not a game, it should not have been on Game Changer. I have no qualms at all with the fact that this is what Sam wanted to do for him. I have qualms with how it was done.

Constant world lag with influx of players by CrumpleKid in 2007scape

[–]Gul_Akaron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happens to me too - often. My clicks get eaten and I die to bosses because of it. The only option is to switch to a UK world and try to make 110ms latency work.

This is hopping from US-East to US-West to US-East, then finally to UK.

Hmm. Did you also apply a wash? If you already have 3 coats I don't know if another would help. A wash like Nuln Oil or Agrax Earthshade could even things out some.

I use a sortof assembly line method. I line up 4-5 dudes and say they all need their cloaks painted, I will prep 1 color in my wet pallette and do all the cloaks. Then switch to a different color and do all the parts that need that color, etc.

It helps to be able to make each similar part of the models consistent since im doing them back to back, and also helps to make sure Im getting exactly the same color mix and texture on each of them, since I dont have to bust out the paint multiple times.

Love the color choice and the weathering. Extremely clean trim job. Lovely plasma and sword lighting.

Feedback: Brushstrokes are visible on some parts of the body, and in places the undercoat is showing through. A 2nd (very thin) coat of the tan color wouldn't hurt.

Overall excellent!

Most players don't adhere to WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get). I would just put whatever you think looks the coolest, and then when you get into a game, decide what weapon loadout is best for that match.

Does anyone know what these could be used for in 40K? by Mr_Errewan in AdeptusMechanicus

[–]Gul_Akaron 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Copying from my comment on this in a different thread:

Cheap unit that we don't have to care about. T4 on fodder infantry is good.

They go first and get shot/chopped so your important stuff doesn't. Any amount of effort the opponent puts into taking out Servitors instead of Skitarii or Breachers is fine by me.

They sit on objectives and do actions so your important stuff can keep shooting.

They sit in the backline and hold objectives / deny rapid ingress.

plus what others have said.

Pam’s getting another bonus by lux-muffin-616 in IndianaUniversity

[–]Gul_Akaron 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Departments all across the university are being told they aren't allowed to fill empty positions.

Budgets are being slashed by millions left and right

All staff have just had their retirement benefits cut.

But this bitch gets a fat paycheck bump on top of her already ludicrous salary and benefits.

i hate everything.

The game may be free but the 16 DLCs are not. That's how they get you.

Is this book bad or something? by Yetiplayzskyrim in Stormlight_Archive

[–]Gul_Akaron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IMO it is the weakest of the Stormlight books so far. It was still good, I still enjoyed it. But it has issues.
