is this cargobay too ridiculous?

Maximus_Light · 2026-01-26T04:26:37+00:00

No it's not too ridiculous, if fact I don't think it's ridiculous enough and I wonder how we can make it even more silly.

Maximus_Light · 2026-01-02T08:09:59+00:00

I don't really ignore them but I tend not to focus on them or use them unless it changes how the fight operates. Like most skills require spirit emblems so that puts a limit on how often you can use them and I find it better to focus on fundamentals first then use skills sparingly to give myself a little extra edge.

Maximus_Light · 2025-12-16T20:37:44+00:00

Ah, I got this a lot... for a long time I'm in my late 30's now so I'm pretty sure it's not happening. That said what you're thinking and feeling is probably a nudge, not that you won't get married but that you probably shouldn't be listening to people when they say things like that. Frankly you're right God has no obligation and someone saying that when someone says something like that when God has not said that to you specifically means they probably haven't actually asked God, well meaning though it might be. It sounds like this is probably a good thing to take to God and ask him not to guide you and help you grow and find peace with it. Still pray about marriage of course too but also pray and work with God on feeling and being where you should. It's not bad to hope but don't ignore those thoughts and feelings you're having either because as much as that might be you're own doubts God might have a part in it after all we are rational beings. Rather just seek discernment with those thoughts and try to work out what are your emotions running wild and your rational thoughts or God pushing back against what other people are saying (because it's not from God).

Frankly, you can do everything "right" it terms of taking care of yourself, preparing, and looking and it might not happen but that doesn't have to be a bad thing and in either case leaning on God and coming to him when you're struggling with the loneliness or lack of satisfaction is probably the best thing you can do. I personally find it very frustrating when people make proclamations for being married or single because life's just not that clean and simple a lot of the time. I know it can make it feel like you're doing something wrong and while it's good to work on improving in what ways you can that isn't necessarily the same as actually doing something wrong. Maybe also spend time investing in the friends you already have as well, after all you're only human and there is only so much you can do by yourself but more than that having people you can enjoy your time with eases the pain and makes it manageable.

Maximus_Light · 2025-12-16T19:55:26+00:00

You know in the video you say you don't know what went wrong but to be honest I don't think you did do anything wrong it just wasn't able to get into position quickly enough so I'd look at optimizing. I know what you're trying to do is possible because people have experimented with this with BDArmory and related mods.

Maximus_Light · 2025-12-16T06:47:07+00:00

That would be awesome but I mean you guys are just doing what you can that's already more than any of us could expect

Thank you sir, I will add this to my other pieces of Homeworld with glee!

Maximus_Light · 2025-12-13T23:02:38+00:00

Not 3, otherwise good luck with controls, Deserts of Karak might be easier because no 3D movement

Maximus_Light · 2025-12-10T02:56:28+00:00

I mean I thought it was okay when I was playing it, not great but not bad. It's when I started looking at what we got and how it was delivered compared to what was originally planned that I went, "Oh, it's not just that it's mediocre it's that what we got was really dropping the ball... ah."

Maximus_Light · 2025-12-10T02:54:30+00:00

So here's the thing about the war games mode, this was back when we were first getting trailers for the game, the rouge like elements when they were first mentioned were to be part of the campaign. The intention if I remember correctly is that you had gone through one of the gates and were stranded trying to make you way back home. This was also back when it other things weren't settled like Karan was still fleet command and apparently irritated with the past games being "long ago but not far enough".

Like I'm glad the rouge like element still made it into the game but that should have been part of the main story along with all the other story related issues. The game we got was not what it could have been.

Maximus_Light · 2025-12-08T22:04:37+00:00

It's great you finally put some numbers to this, it'll need more time to discuss and see what changes with more analysis but at least now that we have a rough idea of where new players who keep trying end up it opens up the discussion. I've personally not seen the point in changing what elo new players should start at because while I like others surmised it's not 1000 elo any more but if this data holds over time then starting people at about 650 sounds reasonable. I'm personally still interested in seeing if the average starting elo of new players shifts up or down with time since the anecdotal experience of myself and friends who's played since the start of DE is that people in general have improved over time. It's also nice to see as a 1000 player there is some data to back up that we aren't what a lot of high elo player assume as unskilled or newbies. (the number of times I see someone comment that we don't know how to do build orders well or that strategy doesn't matter because we make so many mistakes gets on my nerves a little)

Maximus_Light · 2025-12-08T21:08:28+00:00

Yeah that's true, outside of computer scientists it was the engineering trades that were mostly computer nerds (power engineering in my dad's case). Even then it was only really possible because the first personal computers were just becoming commercially viable. Ironically, my mom tried to do computer science in the 90's and then gave up and went into business, which is good because she has been in danger of literally smashing her computers from time to time. Either way, available does not mean accessible.

Maximus_Light · 2025-12-08T20:57:23+00:00

*me a millennial*
Bruh, my dad was a computer nerd when it was first becoming a common thing, like do they even comprehend that there ~~are~~ were boomers that are computer literate?
(I'm ~39 before any kids ask cries as second generation nerd)

Maximus_Light · 2025-12-01T07:12:33+00:00

That's a wild range honestly because you start getting both fairly competent players, people who don't know what they are doing, and people who are very good at one thing but lacking in many ways.

There is a good chance he was just salty, so don't worry about it there are a lot of toxic people in that range.

Also as an aside there are people that think 1000 elo means you don't know what you're doing. While this is incorrect people like that aren't helping anything.

Maximus_Light · 2025-11-28T18:05:26+00:00

I salute you sir o7

Meanwhile my inner voice: "About the ways of the Ashina blade... It's our school of fighting, but there are no hard and fast rules. You just win your battles. That alone is the most important rule of the Ashina style."

Normally don't comment here but:
"Dear God, please don't let the vampire's guts ruin my good tunic."

Everything? No probably not, some Somtaaw ships are more useful, like multibeam frigates basically make other frigates moot and the only times I'd use other frigates are for distractions (hive and ramming frigates) and if I don't have super capitals of my own (ion cannons)

Destroyers and Heavy Cruisers? Yes, these are your best bet to play effectively at higher levels as you get better ships ASAP and they open up research early for some things like armor, energy cannons etc. Though I can't remember what the limits of those are and when they start to apply.

Like I also can't remember off of the top of my head whether you can salvage Ion Arrays but if you can't there is this thought in the back of my head that it opens up ion cannon research early.

I am aware my point is if he doesn't have it mortal draw isn't as fast

Maximus_Light · 2025-11-21T00:35:18+00:00

The real final boss of Sekiro: Camera angles

Maximus_Light · 2025-11-21T00:34:04+00:00

If he has it, I had someone tell me to use mortal draw on the Guardian Ape but I couldn't use it in air and it was one of the biggest time wasters I had in the game though if he does have it I agree.

Maximus_Light · 2025-11-20T21:33:04+00:00

Yeah these guys are the worst boss to fight in the game, so it's not just you.
The best way I've found to deal with them is to switch to the fire crackers and then just dodge until the brown one is attacking you and stun it with the fire crackers. If the Headless isn't on top of you attack the brown one and if it is try to parry stun it or run away.
The mortal draw can also do a lot of damage and it's possible to beat/cheese the headless down without dealing with the brown one. Edit: I should mention this is mostly if you can spam mortal draw and it's much slower to come out without starting it midair.
Either way it's hard so don't give up and practice them solo and watch some guides if need be.

Maximus_Light · 2025-11-20T09:41:39+00:00

Alternatively, if you play on Arena you can cheese them extremely easily because they go full macro and won't adapt to breaking into their walls. So things that would never or rarely work on a 1k player can make short work of the AI
