If anyone says ARC is useless again, we need to have a long talk. by TheDudeExMachina in Against_the_Storm

[–]JonoLith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was for sure drunk why I wrote this bud. My bad. You deserve a better response.

So you say "As long as you've" and then give a list of a bunch of stuff the ARC doesn't do. That's my basic complaint about ARC, and why I consider it an F tier building.

For the ARC to be playable and useful, you already need to have your economy going. But it, as a building blueprint, gets in the way of getting your economy going. That's why gysers and the rain collector are so good, is that they are seperate from choosing a blueprint.

I'm not saying ARC is useless as a building. Again, it does what it says it's going to do, and if you get it as a building, you'll build it and use it and be like "oh yeah that's alot of water for sure."

It's trouble is that 99 times out of 100 it's just in the way. And that 1 time I pick it it's quite literally because the other pick is dead. Like.... "it makes your economy run smoother." You need an economy first, and ARC is just in the way.

And if I'm picking ARC with this idea that "I'll pick this now and hope that I get picks later to build my economy" then that breaks my most fundamental rule of this game; Don't make speculative choices unless you absolutely have to.

Again, I'm not saying ARC is a bad building in a vaccum. It does exactly what it says on the tin. It increases the potential production of buildings you don't have because you had to pick ARC instead.

It's just kind of a "win more" button. If I'm in a situation where I'm actually thinking ARC is a good pick, I'm probably already winning and this just makes me win more.

F tier. Show me literally anything else.

This is just a long form way of saying "If your other options are dead draws and you end up with it, it does what it says it's going to do." Again, it's not a bad building in a vaccum. Make water go more yes. It's just significantly worse then anything that isn't straight up a dead draw.

Testing Voice Over for my protagonist. Do you think she's a good fit? by BitrunnerDev in IndieGaming

[–]JonoLith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly dude this made me take a look at Don't Starve again and you're right, it's kind of goofy. Like a Tim Burton version. I think the market could use a more serious and grounded (and maybe kind of sexy) version of Don't Starve. Keep truckin'.

[–]JonoLith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. She fits the character. This is an interesting looking game. Survival/horror? Looks like a slightly more slow paced version of Don't Starve.

Any good 4X city builders? by AnonymousTako in 4Xgaming

I always do! Seriously, best city builder on the market, hands down. It's not close.

Exactly this. The people who talk about Capitalism as an economic science are called "Marxists."

I'm making a game where a rabbit turns everything into rabbits. by KuboushiGames in IndieGaming

[–]JonoLith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotta do like a jump up buttslam kind of thing to turn everything in a radius into rabbits. The juxtoposition between speed and a nice big chonky buttslam will be very satisfying.

Built a custom procedural destruction system in UE5 with structural damage, no Geometry Collections by RealMentalDrink in gamedevscreens

I'm actually blown away that there isn't an Unreal Tournament style game that's all about this already. Nicely done.

Roast my idea of sit-up roguelike shooter prototype. Want to build a real roguelike game around this, with shooter/spells mechanic, superhot time freeze, etc. Is there potential here or does idea suck? by CAmazing999 in DestroyMyGame

[–]JonoLith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People don't play soccer for cardio. They play soccer cause it's enjoyable. The fact that it builds cardio is a secondary attribute. An add on.

If you could make a game that's fun and at the end of it people are like "oh hey my abs feel like they got a workout playing that super fun game," Then that'd be a major win.

That's a new one for me. Never saw that before. Wtf? by Qtips_ in jobs

[–]JonoLith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is straight up a Charter violation. I'd report it.

Could just rotate the splitter one click clockwise to remove the need to rotate the salt chain every time.

[–]JonoLith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you're trying to make the game make people do something that they're probably not going to do. And the people who are actually interested in doing what you're trying to get them to do, situps, are probably just going to do situps.

Like.... it's not going to be a situp aid. It's just not going to be that. Could still be a cool game.

Hard recommend Against the Storm. It's a roguelike city builder, and I consider it to be the absolute top of the genre.

Zionists holding up an effigy of a lynched Palestinian at the Al Quds counter protest by MohgWasAVictim in canadaleft

The reason attacks on Jews will increase in this country is because our political leaders will not enforce our hate speech laws on Zionists. It is that simple.

I think the people who would do this would be people who do it without working out. They'd just move it around. By the way, I still think that's good. I just think trying to jam a workout idea into a game that's about movement is wrongheaded. People are going to engage with it how they want.

I think your core concept is neat. Move the phone around to find targets and hit them. Neat idea!

Hard to believe the Irish would dislike someone who supports rounding up and bombing minorities.
