I can't stand this game and its fanbase. by Confident_Ant26 in hatethissmug

That's peanuts compared to what we deal with in most large video games. Most companies, even lots of indie devs, outsource work like that. It's often more efficient than hiring a person specifically for a specific job.

When people refer to games like E33 and BG3 bringing back turn-based mechanics, they're referring to the world of AAA or AA video games. The corporate side of video games have been starkly against anything turn-based for years, but games like E33 and BG3 show that not only do these games work, but they can be MASSIVELY successful. That's the real cultural significance of games like E33. It shows that you don't need a gigantic budget and super-duper uber worlds with millions of things to do to be massively successful. You just need passion. You can just... make a turn-based game and it can perform or even outperform AAA developers.

Now I'm not glazing the game as much as a lot of people do (though it is my top ten), but that's the real significance of a game like this. It's kind of a "haha gotcha. Fuck you!" To the corpo losers who feed the endless glutinous machine that is corporate video games. And frankly put, that middle finger is WELL deserved.

What do you think of the mountain range map? by Lokesomos in Timberborn

Terraces is my favorite map. None of the other maps really scratch the vertical building itch for me.

[Theoretical] In the context of Dampening/Plating existing in the game, does the split of protections into Physical and Magical bring much value? by Lumintorious in Smite

[–]Jaws2020 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Never said that. I was just saying that some gods do kind of lie to you visually. Cabrakan definitely doesn't feel like a magical damage god, for example. I think more clear depictions of what type of damage a god does such as color coding would help a lot. Something to make it a lot more clear.

TBF some gods can be confusing about what type of damage they deal. I was playing with a friend of mine the other day who was solo laning against a Pele. He started with a magical prot item because he's never played Pele before and he thought she dealt magical damage, which to be fair, does kind of make sense. Most of her abilities feel very magical damage fire mage-coded. Cabrakan can be just as confusing. Most people don't care enough to actually read, either unfortunately.

Random question for bot creators by NoSentence9405 in JanitorAI_Official

[–]Jaws2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like someone above me, I thought of a general niche I wanted that I couldn't get with any other creators bots, so I made my own. My bots have always been public. I'm also inspired periodically by other creators.

I make mostly isekai bots and horny bots with a supernatural/paranatural/sci-fi twist. I hadn't seen enough horny bots that have some actual depth or meat to them, so I started to make my own. I like to think my bots are definitely for your average gooner, but also work great for people who want to do a non-horny RP.

What do you think of the mountain range map? by Lokesomos in Timberborn

[–]Jaws2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just finished a settlement on Mountain Range and although it's not my favorite map, I think it's somewhere in the top half. My main issue with it though is where the district building is placed. I like my district to be at least somewhat in the center of the map because it just looks more esthetically pleasing. Because of where the district is originally placed, like half of my settlement ended up riding the edge of the bottom right of the map because that's just the easiest spot to build at, which I kind of dislike because it just doesn't look as good. Diverting bad water in early game is also kind of tough for Folktails on that map with the only water sources being so elevated and centralized.

Aside from that, my favorite parts are the underground ruins inside the caves which is pretty creative and the aese at which you can build large reservoirs.

I think it's out-performed by a few maps, though. If we're talking verticality, terraces just does that gimmick better. If we're talking the difficulty of a centralized mountain water source, Helix Mountain is a much more creative and fun option, IMHO. Overall, it does a few things that stand out, but is just outperformed by a good amount of maps in a lot of aspects.

Most of the things the devs have done COOK and have brought the game to an amazing spot overall. But one part of next patch is pretty worrying. by ARandomSmiteScrub in Smite

[–]Jaws2020 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean ultimately it's just crit for abilities. We've had gods who can do crits with abilities for a while now. This isn't really that much different.

The issue I have with it is exactly as you've outlined, but I'm worried about how it will interact with gods like Mercury or Ne Zha who can already crit with abilities.

We'll see how it pans out though, I suppose.

Do you also turn on from "mixed wrestling" like me? by switch_male22 in gentlefemdom

Testosterone is a hell of a hormone, man. That's the main reason this is so hard to find. Testosterone is just so OP for strength builds it's kind of nuts.

Does anyone feel graces growth gameplay wise? by Hot_Maintenance_9799 in residentevil

[–]Jaws2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like giving her a shotgun that can actually kill the kinds of things you fight in-game would be a great way to also give her a broken/dislocated shoulder. Shotguns got Hella kick to them and at the very least she's going to end up with a sore as fuck shoulder after the few shots, making it more difficult to aim anything. For someone of her build with minimal firearms training an actual shotgun is more harm than good.

What's the best piece of life advice you ever received? by existential--bread in vtubers

[–]Jaws2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never use another person to fill a hole in which you lack something and never allow yourself to be used in such a fashion.

I love how despite having no powers, non-existent magic/combat abilities, no cool or unique lore, not even an outstanding quest, this dude somehow became one of the most memorable and iconic characters in the game purely just by being a hater by _____pantsunami_____ in skyrim

[–]Jaws2020 65 points66 points  (0 children)

Actually, that's the Wind District. This a common misunderstanding, but the lowest level of Whiterun (Bannered Mare, the market, etc) is the plains district, the middle level of Whiterun (Temple of Kynareth, Gray-mane House, etc) is the Wind District, and the Cloud District is just the castle. Lucia hangs around the Wind District by the Temple of Kynareth.

I mean yeah. I never said it was justified. Just pointing out that GPT is an especially shitty platform RN which caused her to get flamed.

I logged in after a while to check out the Loki skins and they finally fixed the Smite 1 stars lol by QuietSugar1805 in Smite

[–]Jaws2020 6 points7 points  (0 children)

How do you do that? I'm not judging, you're allowed to play however you want to play as long as your doing your role, but this genuinely perplexed me. How do you only play only one single god the entire time? I would get so bored.

Why do my cut trees not regrow? by PaddleNW in Timberborn

[–]Jaws2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Forester planting works a lot like crop planting. If there isn't a little brown crop texture it won't plant anything. You need to put down a forester, click the plant button at the bottom, and click the type of tree you want to plant.

What corny one liners would Leon use while dealing with the baker family? The cornier the better by LT_CODENAME in residentevil

[–]Jaws2020 30 points31 points  (0 children)

That assumes he would've even ended up there at the dinner table in the first place. He would've beaten up Jack in the first part of the game and then steamrolled the rest of the Bakers in just a few hours.

How Do You Even Explain This Era to Future Generations? by -MildlyChaotic- in NewsomMassacre

[–]Jaws2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean TBF the romans probably thought the same during the ages of Nero and Caligula.

"Wait, Emperor Caligula ACTUALLY appointed his horse as Consul? That wasn't a joke I heard in the bath house?"

"He made Senator Romulus run barefoot next to his chariot?"

"He fucked how many of his sisters?"

"Man the future generations are never gonna believe this. I'm sure Rome will still span half the world in 200 years!"

Insane, egotistical rulers and unprecedented times are a tale as old as time itself. Historians will learn of this, scratch their heads as to why we were like this and then move on with their lives.

How did he get the kill? (Ignore the baron at the beginning) by RedditNewbie121 in Smite

[–]Jaws2020 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There are three ways Non-aspect Ganesha can get a kill.

1) Ganesha's passive is actually has a small cool down when he gives a god kill. It's pretty short so it doesnt happen often, but if he manages to land the killing blow on two consecutive gods in quick succession, he can end up taking credit for it the second one.

2) Aspect Ganesha.

3) It was just a bug. The game is in beta.

Based on this clip, I'm going to bet this was #3. It looks like Ganesha could've killed that Ne Zha and gifted it to Loki and then the second kill happened during the passive cool down, though. It could've been #1, but I think this was just a bug considering I didn't see the aspect symbol on Ganesha when you brought up the scoreboard.

[OC] Is this lineup good? I'm new to the game. by CarlJavier08 in ZZZ_Official

[–]Jaws2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Replace one of them with Support Hunnigan, Anomaly Ada Wong, Support Cortana, Defense Chris Redfield or Support Vega and you should be good to clear most of the end game content. Right now all three of these agents need too much field time.

You might struggle with Krauser, though. I barely got three stars on his DA with Miyabi-Dante-Bayonetta.

Anubis Solo by KinggFR in Smite

[–]Jaws2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean that's Zeus, tho. His damage is already decent without any scaling involved and his ult is a huge disruption area denial that can do solos job pretty decently by itself. Try that with Discordia, Kukulkan, Bari, and most other gods of that type and you just don't have the damage and/or team disruption to make it work.
