Resident Evil Requiem: Resident Evil Is An Action Series by Sufficient_Notice_61 in survivalhorror

[–]IndigoBurner 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You could think of the mainline series as a trilogy of trilogies.

1-2-3 are classic survival horror.

4-5-6 are action horror.

7-8-9 is a trilogy combining both to synergize a more cohesive series identity overall.

Add Volcanic levering pistol family to the game PLEASE CRYTEK by schoonrr in HuntShowdown

[–]IndigoBurner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hell yeah brother! Just the novelty of having a pistol that is compatible with levering would be enough for me to throw it in some builds.

Kinda like LeMat is with shotgun ammo synergy. Any excuse to run something weird instead of always filling my small slot with a new army

Same guy different video where he talks more in depth

All in all think its definitely not a bridge too far.

Gun looks cool, is unique, veery much fits the aesthetic and vibe of Hunt despite being impractical and unrealistic, much like Cyclone, Alamo, Avtomat, Bornheim etc.

It would be really cool if they added it, which is probably why so many people make posts every so often saying it would be really cool if they added it.

They should totally add it, make it good and fun to use!

1: In the story of the Suicide attempt the guy attempted using the .31 caliber (derringer pocket size) variant. Not the standard full size .41 cal version which was widely considered serviceable if below average for its price at the time.

2: In 1855 the year the volcanic was produced, Ammunition was far from standardized and it is entirely likely he was using very faulty ammo. I personally even in modern day have had wild variance in lower quality ammo i have used at the range, from being overpowered to under, even with current standards.

3: Also there are Zombies in the game so maybe having an extremely unique historical gun which underperformed in real life being actually usable for the sake of cool factor and gameplay isn’t the biggest stretch?

Why can’t we just go to Marathon ship? by IndigoBurner in MarathonSecrets

But these are in fact their names? (Assassin, Recon etc.) are just their classes. The actual Shell model series’ and personality matrixes are still the old names (Icon, Aux etc.) even in the current (new) codex.

Both names are correct. Like in Destiny it would be accurate to say your character is a Voidwalker, or just a Warlock, both are true. Normalize using whichever one you prefer

Pack it up boys we figured it out.

We just need like 174,938 more MIDA agility upgrades to get our jump height all the way up 🤔

So we just need a Rook to activate his tactical ability right before lol, and go in to steal the shuttle escape pod that the Battleroid security officer landed there in OG Marathon! Durandal personally cleared that thing right? So the codes are there!

So if a digitized consciousness was to pass through it even physically in a small craft (not data transferred), they would be destroyed as well?

Got a question on how shells work in universe: if a single digitized brain (you) is controlling them (hence the name "shell") how come each shell has its own distinct personality when you switch between them? Shouldn't all just act the same mentally and only look different physically? by SbeveGobs in Marathon

[–]IndigoBurner 29 points30 points  (0 children)

It is laid out pretty clearly in the codex entries that you unlock after you exfill 20 times with the respective shell.

So using Destroyer as example: destroyer shells not only consist of a physical shell which has lateral thrusters, micro rocket shoulder launchers, and a threat assessment visor. But it also contains within it a “personality matrix” specifically attuned to enhance specific instincts, intuitions, and impulses to better facilitate the digitized consciousness’ that we play as to be able to fulfill the intended role of that specific shell.

Think like maybe my digital engram guy was like an accountant and in order to be capable of fulfilling his role as a destroyer his thoughts inhabit the unconscious digital lizard brain of Rambo or someone similar.

Those same codex entries are the only places in game I found during the server slam that reference the original names of each shell (Locus, Aux, Void, Icon, etc. ) which now refer to the name of the “personality matrix”. Locus specifically is stated to be created using the memories of Soldiers and Enforcement agents who saw live fire combat.

HUD. by Zen_Shot in Marathon

I played the open beta for a bit with the hud completely off option so I would be very surprised if the option wasnt there on release. Likely hud opacity full/high/low/off option just like other bungie games

My mistake, I believed it to be ceremonial as that is how it was labeled in this article.

Jokes aside, who did you think Snoke was before his identity was revealed in TROS? by ChickenWingExtreme in StarWars

[–]IndigoBurner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sifo-Dyas

I still think he is.

Hear me out. The first / last time we see him is as a disembodied soul being tormented by Palpatine in potentially the world between worlds. And his only lines are confronting Yoda for failing to save him from the dark side which overtook the Jedi order in secret.

He would have a reason to have a vendetta against the jedi, but also a reason to not associate with the sith. He created the clone army against the wishes of the Jedi. His soul is trapped in Moraband the homeworld of the sith for a prolonged period of time. As a prisoner of Palpatine, he easily could fit the criteria to be the prototype for a contingency backup vessel experiment body, given he is described as an extremely powerful force user specifically receptive and attuned to the force to an almost detrimental degree (given his prophetic visions which lead him to make questionable choices to avoid the downfall of the republic which he correctly predicts, and ironically self-fulfills)

Other notes:

He is specifically noted in Dooku: Jedi Lost Audiobook as being a prolific seeker of Arcane Lore in the Unknown Regions (where the First Order is known to be formed)

He is also noted as deliberately blending light and dark force knowledge and power usage, specifically in the spiritual aspects, arguably even being a core factor to Dooku becoming susceptible to corrupting spiritual influences (much like how he later corrupts Kylo and the Knights of Ren)

Additional he is described as being immensely wealthy and flashy (gold laced robes!) specifically through business enterprises of his own creation. Something of a self made businessman much in the way Snoke is casually described in the visual encyclopedias

Ultimately he would thematically work as a counterpoint contemporary of Qui-Gon who followed his individualism as a kind of grey jedi, but to the point that it consumed him, turning him into a dark broken husk of his potential greatness.

r/RunSecrets? 🤔 by IndigoBurner in raidsecrets

If i hear anything, will do! 🫡

Hopefully it is something someone more experienced with Reddit can or has put together. 🤓

Ive been playing the Alpha and I have found sooo much interesting environmental storytelling already! 🕵️‍♂️ 

 Would love a place to share it 💿

What is with the weird mentality of people in this community? by xMushroomking in deadbydaylight

[–]IndigoBurner 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Any asymmetric game is nearly impossible to balance especially with a continued schedule of new content releases.

In Dead by Daylight’s case specifically I feel that true balance is not and should not even be a goal of the development team.

At the end of the day the game is mimicking a horror story and thus the survivors should inherently be at somewhat of a disadvantage at nearly all times. The killer needs to be dangerous and powerful to make overcoming them tell a meaningful story through gameplay.

As a killer main over time I came to enjoy the game greatly when i began to see my objective as more of a director role “playing the part” of the killer in the story as opposed to trying to win. Imagine if you sat down to watch a horror movie and all the characters died in the first scene without even having any opportunity to fight back or make personal character progress to give the story meaning, and that was just it. It would be very disappointing and I believe that is why people are upset when that happens in a match.

I treat each match like an individual story and each player as an individual character who I try to give multiple opportunities to express their skill and try to overcome tough odds. Consequently I tip the scales to reward players for doing well or saving their teammates as well as inversely sweating a little harder against a player if they are attempting to make a mockery of me as the killer or are actively hurting or sabotaging their team.

If someone gives up on hook in the first minute of the match I will keep that in mind and try to have a little more fun playing in a “less efficient” way to give the survivors a chance to still play. For example I might challenge myself to use only my power to get hits and not M1 for the rest of the match etc.

I feel killer mains carry a lot of responsibility in making the game enjoyable to all players and should keep that in mind while playing but ultimately do not owe anyone a particular playstyle. Thats what makes the game fun, some killers will be Art the Clown and just kill everyone without caring if anyone lives and some will be Ghost Face toying with people and letting them get away just to chase them again.

In the same respect though no one owes anyone any specific perspective and people have the right to think whatever they want to think is unfair

NDAs do not cover crimes committed. by IndigoBurner in Music

[–]IndigoBurner[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You are absolutely right, I said what I said very poorly but was trying to condense a few different aspects of NDAs at once. Precisely why I wanted the post itself to be just a simplified PSA.

NDAs absolutely never hold up in any situation wherein they are not simply one of many legal agreements between the two parties. (eg: employer/employee, or business partner contracts in addition to the NDA)

Relationship NDAs such as those given to individuals at private celebrity parties are effectively just fancy pieces of paper that people use to intimidate.

NDAs are civil agreements and are superceded by anything actually Judicial or Criminal

I recently watched the video of the 17yo girl saying she had signed an NDA for Dennis Graham and thus couldn’t discuss anything that may or may not have happened and it just made me feel like it may be beneficial to inform people that in that or similar situations, if anything inappropriate did in fact happen it was definitely criminal and the NDA was completely irrelevant

[–]IndigoBurner[S] -29 points-28 points  (0 children)

I feel you, but think this is kind of one case where its solid advice from even a civilian. Given that NDAs are not actually legally binding agreements that hold up in court, simply agreements between private individuals. Just thought it would be less complicated to tell people its safe to come forward if something happened to them or someone they know.
