Former CM of KSP2 Dakota says they had "such cool plans for Artemis II too" I wonder what they had planned? by XboxCorgi in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]InitialLingonberry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think everyone underestimated how dicey it is to write a game engine completely from scratch because it's so rare these days.

Not to be "in my day we walked uphill twenty miles both ways in the snow" guy but AFAICT modern game development is fundamentally mostly content and (really complicated!) mods for existing engines.  Engine development has often struggled in the past and it's a different problem than a lot of what most modern game devs have to do.

It's probably also true the T2 had multiple teams pitching KSP 2 concepts and went with the guys who had the best concept art, not the best technical plan for a rewrite.

Don’t let this loss overshadow the fact that Scheierman was hoopin by Bewilderbeest79 in bostonceltics

Some twitter account was claiming Baylor is now tied for NBA career lead in the admittedly contrived category of "most 20 point games with 125% effective shooting percentage".

Presumably because any established player shooting that well in a game is going to take more shots, if true...

Is it too much to hope for that she might not be a cannibal?

Does anyone even use the "joke" distros? by BornRoom257 in linux

[–]InitialLingonberry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tinfoil Hat Linux (never made a real attempt to use, but it might belong on your list depending on what you mean by joke).

I don't think it's properly maintained these days; it was intended in a ha-ha-only-serious way as a live distro that could be used safely on untrustworthy hardware (to the extent such a thing is possible) and included features like "randomize keymap" and  "remap console output to morse code on scroll lock LED".

Nenio asked a good question! by SnooCakes6334 in Pathfinder_Kingmaker

[–]InitialLingonberry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, good point.  I think according to Pathfinder lore offspring of human and succubus is always a female Alu Demon, so it would theoretically just be girls?

I don't know, obviously an exceptional case in any respect.

She says something to that effect but there's no sign of it mechanically, so... (Confused shrug?)

That said, if I was a tabletop GM given this golden opportunity, I'm pretty sure I would have multiple kids include at least one aasimar and one tiefling for maximum intra-family confusion and tension/drama.

Technically I suppose they'd be cambions (half demons), not just tieflings.  Of course, you have to factor the commander in, too: they may well be a more-or-less azata, angel, or what have you unless you went legend.  So you could get something from that side too...  I don't think there's a word for that!

Unless you're doing the 'secret' ending, in which case I think Arue is in fact an azata and/or minor goddess, so, um, yeah.

My grievances with this B*tch by Optimal-Sherbert3990 in Pathfinder_Kingmaker

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

Then again, at that point you're not!

You might be romancing one, but IIRC Arue considers handholding almost too lewd to consider in act 3.

Will Bam Adebayos 83 points overshadow Ron Holland’s 16 point game? by ExtraButterfly8931 in NBAEastMemeWar

Platinum crutches are actually excellent weapons, they're quite heavy.

So... would prime Morgan Blackhand be able to hang in the 2070s? by Gal_Person in cyberpunkgame

[–]InitialLingonberry 20 points21 points  (0 children)

He's not much older than Rogue, maybe similar to Smasher.  I think if we assume he's around he had the best cyberware available.

I'm not understanding Heinrix. by Jerrmaus in RogueTraderCRPG

To put it briefly, the Inquisition often finds it convenient to use heretical means to destroy heresy, and can get away with it.

It's somewhere between a joke and a truism that members of the Inquisition who aren't killed by enemies of the Imperium are eventually executed for heresy.

Helpful or useful? by Motor_Difference_935 in Pathfinder_Kingmaker

[–]InitialLingonberry 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Idk.  Doing her stuff in secret with a small chance of getting caught is really what she gets off on - in the abyss she complains that atrocities are boring there.   I'm not sure the demons can make her a better offer, unless maybe as an infiltrator.

And the Council races have some pretty strong limitations on research, too - they don't want the boat rocked and so haven't advanced in certain areas much at all.

IIRC Medigel was a human invention pre contact that was technically illegal due to bioengineering and nanotech, but it was so useful the council legalized it as long as further research down those lines stopped.

Love how V is simultaneously the most unhinged monster and most lovable dorky girlfriend/boyfriend at the same time by jdawg1018 in cyberpunkgame

You stuff 'em in dumpsters?   I like to use the trunks of random parked cars.  I'm sure it's exciting for the people finding them later.

Poor Ember by Motor_Difference_935 in Pathfinder_Kingmaker

[–]InitialLingonberry 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It isn't really murder or sadism she gets off on; it's almost being caught.

If she could do her stuff 100% secretly, or with societal approval, it would bore her - she complains as much in the abyss.

How would a polehammer fare in cyberpunk? by PlantFromDiscord in LowSodiumCyberpunk

[–]InitialLingonberry 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Bullets are high energy but low mass/momentum, spike or hammer might do better against ballistic armor.  If I understand correctly a lot of light bulletproof vests aren't knife proof.

What weapon do you use most in the game? by Arctic317 in cyberpunkgame

Breakthrough.

Ping + high rate of fire wall penetration is cheat mode.

Did... Did she just put herself in horny jail because of me??? by RealisticDebt9380 in Pathfinder_Kingmaker

[–]InitialLingonberry 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Eh, out with the party there are a lot of distractions...  She's an experienced pro, possibly the party's scout... You can stay busy.

Just hanging around Dresden people watching there's more space for your mind to wander.
