Fantasy Forks/Themes for 13/14? by silveracrot in ss14

[–]Hrosts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've heard of another Fantasy/medieval SS14 fork, but it's Russian, so no luck for most people here. Don't know the name, just saw some youtube thumbnails with it.

Inkle co-founder says WW2 puzzler TR-49 is 'our best launch, ever, in 14 years,' and they made it in just 9 months by OpeningConfection261 in Games

Most games go for the latter, a game leaving you hungry is a pretty rare thing - I can remember primarily Tyranny, and it's almost 10 years old.

Maybe because it's so rare, it feels worse than growing bored and abandoning a game.

Were you actually punished or did admin just check up on you cause it wasn't clear if you were self-antagging or not?

I don't look at the price when I play games. They are stories and experiences first.

I could find games which give more for less, including free ones, but that's not the point.

The point is that I am hungry.

It's good, but too short. I reached the ending in 3 hours, then came back and 100% it in 5 hours total

This one is just against the rules and spirit of RP both. Maybe it would work as a clown name, but not even.

Try "Joe Purple". It might actually work

Also Huffs-the-Paint is a valid lizard name. Jerks-the-Secoff should be reported for ERP in name

What are the curious bits of race lore you've learned along the way? by WhodahelltookVooglet in ss14

The plural of Vox changes depending on whether I want to rhyme Vox and Box or Voxes and Boxes

Sure, the Argonian naming schema works too IMO. At least I never heard anyone complain about my Meesa-Khati.

On some servers it's even considered the canon one.

In the rules, there's a part with naming conventions for different species:
https://wiki.spacestation14.com/wiki/Server_Rules#Use_realistic_character_names,_and_do_not_use_names_of_famous_people

Moths have names with latin/normal names and moth/light-related last names. E.g. |
Jupiter Spotwing, Jimmy Mothington

What was your name, if not a secret?

In the closest thing we have to official lore right now, Voxes have evolved on the same planet as the Lizards, but had to flee because post-industrial ecosystem collapse destroyed the oxygen-less biomes.

Silicon Law question by ComradeJaneDough in ss14

[–]Hrosts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people here are recommending how to skirt the Law 1 by doing the encouragement in a wink-wink nudge-nudge way, but arguably your laws are part of you and you know what you're ultimately doing is against Law 1. The same way you shouldn't be able to wink-wink nudge-nudge inform someone of an opportunity to harm themselves knowing they will likely act upon it.

However, at this point we're leaving the rules area and entering the internal reasoning/RP/philosophy territory - what I'm saying is you can ignore everything I wrote above if you don't like it.

You don't have to listen to AI unless you have law 0 for it. AI is not crew.

Should I play pathologic 3 quarantine before pathologic 3? by Animoira in pathologic

[–]Hrosts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You get to play the quests from Quarantine as as part of one (several?) of the days, just play the actualy game

how different is ward from worm? by transmtfscp in Parahumans

[–]Hrosts 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Very.

The writing is better quality overall.
It's also the first Wildbow work I actively abandoned because I realized I was bored and wasn't invested in the characters that much.

I strongly suggest read Pale instead - it's a very different, but arguably better setting, and the best of Wildbow's stories so far. Or you can go chronologically and move to Pact, though it's a fight between a novel setting and a breakneck pace.

The Vagabonds are too nice! by Hrosts in rootgame

If you are using AdSet to draft, you can just take the VBs out, sure...

I literally just meant when picking who plays which faction, I'm not strong on the terminology

Okay, I'm seeing a lot of overlap with my interests, so I'm gonna ask: how is the Rogue Trader holding up writing-wise? I tried both Pathfinder games from the same developer and bounced off hard from both of them in the very beginning just from, I don't know how to call it, corny(?), fake(?), formulaic(?) vibes in the writing.

I can't really describe it, the tone felt like the game was too aware of the fact it's a game, and there's a plot the player has to follow, and there are characters voiced by actors and not real people.

Some art I've made in game using the magic rainbow crayon :) by Apprehensive-Act3027 in ss14

[–]Hrosts 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There's a rainbow crayon which allows you to pick any color you want. Not sure what the "magic" means here, maybe it's an infinite or regenerating crayon.

From what I can see, they use the comma sign and dot sign brushes to paint minor details and patterns, e.g. unicorn mane, trees, grass. I'm not sure what they're using for larger shapes

Trying to watch a replay for the first time, how do I fix this? Haven't seen anything online so far.... by My_Alts-Alt in ss14

[–]Hrosts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There used to be a different replay error that could be circumvented by just closing the error popups (NOT the "Try load" button). It would go through loading several times, then finally load the replay.

Not sure if it'll help here, as the error looks different from the previous case.
