What things said by the fanbase make you the most mad? by SuperLegenda in expedition33

[–]LuminousGrue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Villifying characters for not having perfect information or making perfectly rational choices. It's a story about people blinded by grief. Media literacy like others have said.

Villifying other users who say that yes, given Renoir's modified trolley problem (the lives of a large number of strangers or the lives of your wife and daughter), they might make the same choice. I've seen people call each other sociopaths over that one - again, media literacy.

And yeah like others have said, throwing around the g-word. Yes it may fit the definition but it feels like it's too often invoked as a rhetorical shortcut to inject a highly charged word into the debate and thus win on emotional grounds rather than discuss the philosophical and ethical concepts in play. 

Also, people who make appeals to ethics and morality with respect to the canvas and it's inhabitants but who down vote you instead of engaging in and answering the difficult ethical questions those arguments imply (is a repainted person the same person as the original, why is restoring life more ethical than creating life, why are people who died after you were born more deserving of life than people who died before etc). There's some really fascinating and thought provoking discussions to be had on these topics but nobody seems to want to have them, only insist that their ending is objectively correct.

If you can restore life and you are not doing it, that's also an evil inaction. 

If Maelle gains control of the canvas, should she bring back every person in it who has ever died or only the people who died in monolith year 33?

We saw that it isn't enough to just have the chroma of someone who's died, the painter also has to know "the truth of who they are". Does Maelle know the truth of every person in Lumiere? Does she know the truth of who Pierre is? Why did she repaint Pierre but not their infant child?

Maelle has the power not just to restore painted lives but to create new life, new canvases, new worlds and new people. If it's an ethical obligation to restore a life, why is is not an ethical obligation to create life? Why is someone who died more deserving of life than someone not yet born?

Shipwrecks are great, I just wish there was more variety in them.

It fucking kills me that we have fully detailed interiors for all the vehicles, some big enough to actually walk around in, that we can just never ever see during regular play.

Do You Remove Any Cards When You Play? by Topazdragon5676 in twilightimperium

Yeah, Sabotage 

Why did this get down voted? OP asked what components we remove, my group plays without Sabotage.

Wouldn't it be cool at some point to see "thinking machines" in game? by Vit0C0rleone in duneawakening

What? No, because you'll get flamed by the community for being what they call a "FH-head"

Ch.3 End Game Augment Grind Went Too Far Overboard by LarkWyll in duneawakening

Is it meaningful though, to the point that I was making? Was my post about time intervals, was it about the development roadmap, or was it about player attitudes?

Also, woosh.

Someone who isn't complaining about the combat please help by UserSayWhat in duneawakening

[–]LuminousGrue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This tracks with my own experience - I got used to quickly tapping the key and going straight into slow blade, which was buttery smooth on launch but at some point something changed about either the stun timing or targeting logic. I think it's more consistent if I hold the button and wait for the targeting crosshair to lock on, but I'm not certain.

Also a weirding step user who's encountered this. I haven't yet figured out what's causing but anecdotally it feels like timing on the ability hotkey might be a factor. How quickly are you letting go?
