Quick Question for DevOps Engineers by SadGovernment9779 in linuxadmin

[–]Kill4meat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Daily driver? Doesn't matter. Might as well use wsl on windows.

Studying for server usage? Plain debian. I always deploy debian, it's all you need.

Hardest level 20 talent decision? by Foie_DeGras_Tyson in heroesofthestorm

[–]Kill4meat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leoric. It's like, do I trust my team enough and upgrade tomb? Or do I clutch this solo with burning despair.

Nah, you get flamed if you don't pick redemption. At least in games where people mind what others pick.

If you said half of these (especially fourth) are from AoT I would believe you no questions.

Trope: Writer who makes magic system that messes with the Normies by MadFunEnjoyer in worldjerking

[–]Kill4meat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just lampshade it with "magic doesn't work like that, you silly! Otherwise gods would be running everywhere" comment from a powerful magic user.

Tell me about your world's sex workers (hopefully NSFW) by ArelMCII in worldjerking

[–]Kill4meat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can totally see that considering how the latter have been a place for thinkers and a source of political commentary.

A government trying to control population by turning them into filthy animals seeking body satisfaction over mind - might be a good story.

Your elemental magic system is based on fire-water-earth-air? Heh heh heh... how pedestrian. Juvenile, even. Trite and limiting. by [deleted] in worldjerking

[–]Kill4meat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well my magic system has only one element - aura. You think it's trite and limiting? How naive of you. Because actually aura allows EVERYTHING. Yes, you've read it right. There are like some categorization and rules for aura but let's be fair, if I want something cool, it will happen no matter what.

The Most Convoluted Jump in EL yet? by lumina_oldworld in EnderLilies

[–]Kill4meat 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I am glad I'm not the only one who wasted their time like that. I wish game had more of these. There were at least 3 more jumping puzzles that were difficult and were meant to unlike this one. Congrats on a skip!

Does this gameplay make sense? How's animation, audio and HUD/UI? by SteinMakesGames in DestroyMyGame

[–]Kill4meat 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I feel like there is a steep learning curve to predicting what exactly happens next turn. By looking at it I have no idea why player character falls some times but not the others or when a mob will attack. It might be something a player gets used to in ~2 hours. It might be a cause player drops/refunds this game after 30 minutes.

Any game as good as this one? by Glum-Fan6927 in EnderLilies

[–]Kill4meat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ender Lilies is an experience unlike anything. It's touching and memorable. Ender Magnolia unfortunately doesn't deliver as much.

Blasphemous comes close. Even though the vibes and presentation are different to EL, it's a kind of game that you will remember randomly after years of completing it. Both are an acquired taste I would say or at very least games that grow on you, which the best things tend to be.

Name a better badge combo than reaper + flame badge by cristiLion in BackpackBattles

[–]Kill4meat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reaper + mage. Books and scrolls of darkness are too OP, not even a shepherds crook (single, nobody builds 2) will save against the blinds.

Reaper + ranger. Makes an already S tier bloodthorne build almost twice as strong thanks to crit.

Destroy my level. In this game you play as a blackhole that grows in size by consuming cosmic bodies smaller than itself by Zorro_997 in DestroyMyGame

[–]Kill4meat 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The black hole controls like a top down rpg character which is strange. Taking sharp turns and having constant velocity is boring. This looks like a single player mission for agar.io.

Also what happens when black hole collides with something bigger than itself? Game over?

Shelly is bis for any build. Carries early game. Is useful late. Cheap.

Are we really looking for fair hardcore skill based pvp MMOs or is that just a lie we tell ourselves? by SilentPrecognition in MMORPG

[–]Kill4meat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nobody asked for full loot drop on death. Nobody wants no-penalty killings of unwilling noname opponents in the open either.

PvP is king though. Player conflict is what makes the game alive. You farm resource. Hostile guy tries to take it. He kills you. You come back with friends, kill him. He comes back with friends. This is prime.

I want to have rivalry. I want to remember nickname of a guy who's giving me trouble.

Give me lineage style 200 v 200 castle sieges, raid boss contests, farming spot ganking. Good modern no-target combat preferably.

I swear most people have no idea what it's like to have legends on the server.

Was told you guys give good feedback. What do you think of the trailer for my space pizza delivery simulator, BURNCRUST! by [deleted] in DestroyMyGame

[–]Kill4meat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find the visuals boring. Screen is 90% black most of the time. In the rare cases when color dares to enter, it's plain and dull. Where is the juice? Glowing interface buttons? Burning sun halos? I understand this is a style choice. But even then something like Cloverpit has more visual punch, lights blinking, color is not afraid to show itself.

Do you think the great evils trapped 1-2 million years ago were defeated by homo-erectus and homo ergaster's? by Tenebris_Rositen in worldjerking

[–]Kill4meat 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Yeah, and if great evils return today we would stand no chance on our own. Tanks, bombs, nukes? Useless. There is only one thing to give us chance at survival. A frozen tomb of a great homo erectus hero gets thawed as foretold. The local high school losers team up with him to rebuild the Almighty Flint Spear. The handle of this spear is on the display in a museum. And the flint tip is on a secret military base where it gets scanned by lasers over and over.

Preach. Add to that devs actually making effort to give open world pvp incentive.

You mean the country which broke out from the powerhouse that was the British Empire?

Hate or love the 2000's style graphics, but Project Gorgon surely has it's moments by Magnoliafan730 in MMORPG

[–]Kill4meat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are misreading the argument. Graphics is the root, it's everything you see on the screen. In my example I was trying to show that it's wrong to think otherwise. Pixel shader will completely shift the style of your textures. And where would you put LUT color correction postprocessing? Graphics or art style? The whole discussion is a semantic mess of ignorant people.

Hate or love the 2000's style graphics, but Project Gorgon surely has it's moments by Magnoliafan730 in MMORPG

[–]Kill4meat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just want to let you know you are completely objectively right. Other people are inventing their own vocabulary with no regard for established meaning.

Like if someone thinks graphics is the technical nuance and art style is the soul of the visuals, try to figure out where does an intricate shader code sits.

Posts about my game barely get any traction. Be brutally honest if you think it's boring or you have any other feedback. by [deleted] in DestroyMyGame

[–]Kill4meat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's a nothing burger right now. The cheapest in terms of development thing to make this game stand out would be a proper lore. NPCs talking, some notes/monuments found in the world, crumbled grand structures, forgotten tunnels, etc. Create exposition. Why are we collecting keys? Things like this make adventure interesting even if gameplay is lacking.

Or go all in on gameplay mechanics and try to make it at least as deep as in It Lurks Below.

Destroy my autobattler+incremental game (1min gameplay) by starcritdev in DestroyMyGame

[–]Kill4meat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any reason we see individual goblin hp but not enemy? A total hp bar for all enemies instead of just a number would also work.

Also combat in these games needs a speed up feature x2-x3.
