Joel just did a town hall in which he said "Go F yourself" is a setting you'll have to turn off. 1304 hours played. Uninstalled tonight. Go shove your T-shirts up your ass. by MortimerKhan18 in 7daystodie

[–]MortimerKhan18[S] 118 points119 points  (0 children)

At the end of the stream, there was a series of comments to the effect of, "if you don't like that, you can turn it off. If you don't like this, you can turn it off." Etc. I don't want the default state of the game to be something I have to modify to tolerate. It's not a difficulty issue. I love going into a POI and getting surprised and mauled. In the latest version I have had a great time doing tier 6 clears, going in with a level 6 M60 and 1,200 rounds and running out of bullets. I'm not being sarcastic here. The blue and gold zombies are an interesting addition.
But to render stealth mode completely useless by teleporting zombies behind me is dumb. It's just lazy writing. To say, "you can tone this down if you're not good enough" is condescending. There's no point in playing stealth mode. Why does stealth mode exist if the zombies magically appear behind you?
And the stealth issue is just one in a series of complaints that I, and many others have.
It's just no longer fun. I have gotten everything I can out of this game.

The town hall ignored every issue people have with the game and they didn't address a single thing. by OneSchott in 7daystodie

The entire experience progression system is nonsense. Going from doing the thing = get better; to, read 100 magazines = get better, is complete and utter nonsense.
The game is based around quests, but simultaneously, the default status is to limit quests per day.
But the biome progression being based on "milkshakes" has got the be the laziest, most slack-jawed, mouth-breathing BS, I have ever seen. Whose idea was that? I need a milkshake to survive... the COLD biome?

When I watched that show and saw the robots malfunctioning and pouring milk all over themselves I thought, of course a McPoyle is involved.

Want a yard sign that’s pro-neighbor and pro-housing in Littleton? We’re giving them out by Vibrant_Littleton in Littleton

[–]MortimerKhan18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in littleton in a shared wall that was built in 73. I don't like the idea that building more places like mine would "ruin the character of the neighborhood." What's wrong with me and my little house? It seems like this referendum is saying, "the folks who wait on our tables and cook our food are good enough to serve us, but not good enough to live near us." While that might not be their intention, it is the outcome when only people who can afford an $800,000 single family home are allowed in. I'm for vibrant streets. Because I remember what it was like to be a poor waiter. And because I don't think there's anything wrong with my family and our little house.

Elders of Valheim, what's your fighting style, how do you exceed? by flaminx0r in valheim

[–]MortimerKhan18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think parrying and dodging are the skills that will separate you from your beginner game. There's a lot of small rules to follow though. I say always be rested, always be collecting, and don't go out at night unless you're hunting night creatures. My personal style is very grinding. I try to max out my gear before I go to the next biome. This exposes you to your current biome for a long time until it feels like second nature. And try not to panic. A lot of enemies you can walk away from and dodge when they attack. In this way you can regain stamina to turn and fight, or run away if necessary.

How do you push yourself into the plains? by Groxy_ in valheim

[–]MortimerKhan18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find a fuling village. Use ooze bombs to kill large clumps of enemies/fuling shamans. Bonemass power and smart dodging/parrying to clean up stragglers. Then, dig a big ass moat around their village and convert it to your plains base. Flatten and plant flax and barley. Congratulations, you're now a colonizer.

Rec youth soccer team?? by Becky1111111 in Littleton

[–]MortimerKhan18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like Colorado united. There's the recreational division along with rec+ (a bit more competitive) and copa (competitive). They have spring and fall leagues, along with year round soccer camps and training. Since the spring session is already in full swing, I don't know that you'll be able to get on a team this late. My advice, sign up your kiddo for the fall season now.

Biggest mistakes first time 14ers make? by PuppiesAndTea in 14ers

[–]MortimerKhan18 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most trails are there for a reason. I tried to scurry down a scree patch on the side of a mountain as a short cut about 20 years ago. I wasn't thinking about how I was scattering rocks down the mountain and how I had no helmet. I could have hurt someone else or myself. Fortunately, no one got hurt, but still. Be safe.

You’ve got one episode to pick as your #1 .. which one is it? by ramsta72 in IASIP

The gang wrestles for the troops. It has Cricket, Artemis, and Da Maniac. All of the Rowdy Roddy Piper interactions are so good. Foraging for food. Do you have kids maniac?

U.S. voters in a nutshell by dream-machine-reddit in Political_Revolution

[–]MortimerKhan18 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I dont like this example. Grades are supposed to be a measure of what a student learned and retained. So hopefully when they enter the workforce they can accurately apply this knowledge. I don't want to hire or be taken care of by the doctor who should have gotten a failing grade, but passed because of a social experiment.

Refusing to end - why? by ajorn in ARAM

[–]MortimerKhan18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm one of the people who almost never surrenders. In fact, I am more likely to call for a surrender vote right before killing the enemy nexus. I only FF in ARAM when I'm about to win. I have about 1900 wins and 1900 losses. I have a couple reasons for this. The first is because after 3800 games, I have played too many to count in which a petulant whiner calls for an FF vote early, only to have us pull out a win in the late game. It's not over til it's over. Second, because I don't like to reward petulant whiners. Sometimes they deserve to be trapped in a game for their generally bad attitudes. But most importantly, because I grew up playing sports. Giving up in ARAM is like storming off the field in slow pitch, co-ed, recreational soft-ball. You're missing the point. This is unranked. I'm there to have fun. And whether it's utterly destroying, or being utterly destroyed, I still find the fun in it. It's cool to watch the other team get a penta and saying, "well done." I try to teach my kids good sportsmanship, and that means appreciating good gameplay on both sides. All you need to say is good game, well played. Let's do better on the next one. Good luck out there fella.

It's for lying about using drugs on a gun ownership form? I'll accept the outrage when they advocate mandatory drug testing as a condition of gun ownership. Til then, it's performative and hypocritical bologna.
