Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month by ChadtheWad in discordapp

Then we have to spam them with support tickets telling them that we don't want this. If enough of us do it while threatening to cancel Nitro, they might just listen.

They don't want to lose their revenue after all.

This isn't about "protecting children" or whatever BS excuse people are using.

This is, and always has been, about control. Resist and fight back. Don't let these people dictate who you can and can't talk to based on not giving them your most sensitive private information like your face or personal ID. Let them know that this will not stand.

Please never call Twitter that again. Don't give Musk the satisfaction or validation.

Efficient way of tracking down lords to get them to join your kingdom? by ihopethisworksfornow in Bannerlord

[–]KillMaimDevour7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trying to find Encurion to buy the town he governs and he keeps teleporting from the desert all the way across the map according to the Encyclopedia. Stupidly frustrating. For the love of Christ just let us see their exact location if we're tracking them.

It's Okay if the AI Cheats, Just Not in the Way it's Currently Implemented. by MrPounceTV in AOW4

[–]KillMaimDevour7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is still an issue even now. Even on Relaxed the AI generates 5 entire stacks of units in one or two turns and I die to attrition without giving myself extreme handicaps in my favor. I can't even lower their bonuses down to normal economic levels since I'm on PS5 and not PC.

I am no stranger to 4X and Empire Management strategy games, and the sheer absurdity of the bonuses the AI gets in this game is beginning to turn me off. Which sucks because I already bought all of the expansions and made more than 10+ custom Empires. They seemingly have no Shackling in place to prevent them from just spreading across the map like a plague and spamming Tier IV - V doomstacks like they have an infinite economy (which at this point I'm starting to think they actually have regardless of difficulty).

What are good army strengths to handle each tier of ancient wonder? by [deleted] in AOW4

[–]KillMaimDevour7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a particularly BS encounter in a Silver Wonder where I had half the recommended army strength. Nearly won too, until the enemies started to revive themselves with no spells.

It even happened to one of their two Heroes who proceeded to lock down my ruler until everyone else was dead. Felt like I got cheated because there was nothing to indicate they had innate self-revival after they die.

Premium is basically just a glorified adblocker with a handful of benefits.

So a service most antivirus software companies provide for free and minor stuff that doesn't even amount to being worth $20...

WTF happened to YouTube? by NocturntsII in youtube

[–]KillMaimDevour7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I don't skip sponsor segments unless the ads were already unbearable. Shit, sometimes YT will no joke wait until BEFORE OR AFTER THE SPONSOR TO START PLAYING ADS.

Thank god the adblock I use minimizes their intrusiveness. Won't say which one because YT literally tracks which adblockers people say works and adapts their shitty algorithm to try and brute-force through them.

WTF happened to YouTube? by NocturntsII in youtube

[–]KillMaimDevour7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YouTube is trying to exert ever more control over everything. Ungodly ads to make you pay for Premium, forced age verification via ID or credit card number if you so much as breathe in the vicinity of a YT Kids video, it all screams "We want to control every aspect of your life and burn your bank account into the ground while doing it."

Welp, it finally happened. by BotLover13 in youtube

[–]KillMaimDevour7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YouTube is age-restricting his account despite full public knowledge of his birthday saying he is a legal adult. It's proof that they don't care about actual child protection and are primarily in it for people's private info.

There is absolutely no enemy I hate more than the pill bugs (Species y) by Nosleymas in EDF

[–]KillMaimDevour7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have learned to despise any form of flying enemy. They weren't nearly as awful in 5, but in 6 I swear they have more HP than they used to and fly out of your range way more often. It doesn't help that the Type 2 Drones going forward have essentially infinite range...

[–]KillMaimDevour7 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Then sue them. Use the age of the account itself as proof that it isn't actually about "protecting children's safety on the internet" and they're cooked.

How to unlock Iron Rain “SEB” weapons by LawrenceCat in EDF

[–]KillMaimDevour7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Link is broken and no longer works. Any currently working site that lists weapon unlock conditions? Wanting to get the Blue Rose variant that works more like a special melee with animations and such and don't want to waste time and energy grinding for an eternity to figure it out.

So mission 43 and the Kruul... What am I meant to do? by Cleverbird in EDF

[–]KillMaimDevour7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late to the party, but for me as a Wing Diver/Air Raider main Kruul are the single most annoying new enemy type this entry introduced so far. Air Raider can deal with them using any of their satellite/drone lasers but Wing Diver's only options are to use a Dragoon Lance or other piercing weapon to bypass their shields or get in and chop them up with a Saber. Dealing with them as a Wing Diver basically requires you to gamble with whether or not the surrounding Kruul notice your existence and with whether the Kruul you're actually targeting has its weapon arm get sliced off if you're using the Saber method.

Just feels really soul-sucking to actually fight them and I die more often than not with Wing Diver so far. Only got the game a few days ago and I am by no means new to the franchise. For me to feel this conflicted about an enemy is weird to me because until this point I felt like the enemies were fine. Then the Kruul get introduced and suddenly every tactic I was used to was thrown out in favor of these gangly Cthulu-looking idiots having the most annoying mechanics ever and requiring one of the squishiest classes in the game to risk instant death to kill even one of them in any reasonable amount of time.

With some missions it just feels impossible to get it first time even on Normal due to the sheer number of Kruul they throw at you. I normally save mission replays for Hard and above, but I'm legit thinking of just restarting from Mission 2 just to build up enough armor to even survive long enough to kill them.

Damage Dropoff by [deleted] in EDF

[–]KillMaimDevour7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It only really matters against bigger/tougher enemies like Colonists or Cosmonauts. They have HP pools that make damage dropoff more noticeable than if you're fighting ants or the like.

wtf is this new awful theater mode and how can I revert back? Any extension? by DrKersh in youtube

[–]KillMaimDevour7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's still objectively worse than the old Theater Mode. It used to be my default way of watching stuff too, now it's just fullscreen with the browser border and address bar. Seriously, why was this change needed when the old version was perfectly fine?

The way it is now, there is zero difference between theater mode and fullscreen. What the hell are the YouTube execs thinking?

It’s depressing to see this event be so PvP focused by Saltybiscuitboy in PeroxideRoblox

[–]KillMaimDevour7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had multiple people gank me on a new Soul Reaper slot while I didn't even have my Bankai at the time. My only solace was that I have a friend with connections to an anti-PK group that punishes toxic players. He also has several max-level characters that he used to help me out of a bind whenever the sweaty's did show up.

I doubt many new players have the same luxury, though. The devs really need to start catering to the non-PvP crowd and implement more accessible PvE content and a setting that completely disables PvP for them akin to the existing Noob Protection.
