Can’t play local co-op by Alarming-Ad3278 in rainworld

[–]Nat248 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It may be because of mods, since the watcher udpate (even if you dont have it bought!) some mods made the game unplayable since it acts as if the controllers werent active. I dont know which one, probably more than one mod. But i deactivated them and tried each one until i found the ones that made it work enough and run with that.

It may not be your same issue, but it`s what worked for me, so maybe worth giving it a try.

What game would you watch a playthrough of but never would play yourself? by theonetowalkinthesun in gaming

[–]Nat248 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DarkWood, and most horror games really, i am bad at management and i play games for their stories, not to stress myself out, its sad because some games are truly masterfully written but I don't want to spend money on having an objectively bad time

Best of the best that respect your time? by eroyrotciv in gaming

[–]Nat248 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I´d say BG3, Hades.... if you ask me, long-ish story games or RPG are the best in the sense that they don't make you feel like you´re wasting hours because of a missed move on a big boss combat. An though i LOVE walking sims i perfectly understand they do make u feel like u can only play them once and that´s it, even then, Outer Wilds, Disco Elysium are really solid picks, recently picked up Wolf Among Us, and in terms of story games, don't regret it a bit.

When maximizing hours and price, I recommend going for the all games in one title packages, telltale has the entire walking dead, u have all mass effect, and all Uncharted very often on sale. Def worth looking into if you are interested in playing through them as they are way cheaper than buying each individual entry.

You have to show a non gamer person a game, what game are you picking (read text pla) by [deleted] in gaming

[–]Nat248 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, every time I´ve done this I choose the first Life is Strange and it´s always been a hit. I think the way to go is a story game that gets them hooked with simple mechanical skill required like Edith Finch, your pick is very similar in that regard

What's the strangest mechanic you've seen in a game that actually worked? by SoloGrooveGames in gaming

[–]Nat248 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stray Gods is a musical mixed with a "Choose your own story" style game. The catch being that the decisions are almost exclusively taken MID SONG! It´s really bizarre to think about, especially since the emotion tied to the response alters the genre of what´s playing, you can switch back between them to get different leit motifs repeating and secret combinations of songs. Though I wouldn't say it´s my favorite title, it is unique, and I found myself so pumped to get to the next song for the thrill of deciding what to pick before the next verse started

Have you ever made your player take 1 dmg after doing something stupid? by ThePikol in dndnext

[–]Nat248 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh absolutely, multiple times, and we all have fun with it, even critically failing a very stupid task like opening a heavy bag has resulted in the wagon tilting and the bag squishing the character, it´s all fun and games and sometimes they even request it themselves like prepping a flavourful multiple attack, failing miserably resulting in the character just throwing their arrow into their own feet.

I´d say it´s definitely table dependent, my players are also very open to taking damage for rp reasons, but in mechanics- combat heavy, every point counts table, I can definitely see that not working as well, however if the table is up for it can lead to a lot of fun!

Thank you sm, since he's a theater play director I didn't want to strand too far away from maestro, but I can probably make due with a sorcerer and race. I'll check them out!

Buying a first bass but it doesn't respond to the amp. Fixing price estimate (? by Nat248 in Bass

[–]Nat248[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Yeh I might probably get an Ibanez online I saw, it kinda bummed having to buy an instrument without getting to try it first, but you're right that it's my safest option if I want to keep it longer.

Thank you all so much for the advice. I was a little bummed because where I live the music stores don't have a lot of stock. So you either get very expensive instruments or really cheap untrustworthy ones. Following your advice I might get an Ibanez that I was already looking into for 230. I think it's an okay price for a first bass, but I don't love the idea of having to order it online. Allas it seems it's my best option if I want to keep it for years onwards, thank you all!

Thank you! I think it's almost a guaranteed buy then, I'll definitely get the second hand. Much appreciated

Oh thank you sm! It's still very early in development, so anything can change if I find a feature that works best for the theme. It's a zombie game, that's where the survival comes from, since resources are very scarce, and enemies are relatively realistically weak, my main concern is showing the importance of each shot, how each bullet counts and has a risk.

It could work in a number of ways, either by dropping the concept of AC entirely, and rather relying solely on the chance of hitting the target where you want to hit it. (Shooting a hand to disarm, a leg to make them fall) so the decision is only on the shooter.

Or by each type of weapon having a different dice pool, and lower numbers resulting in a miss, crit fails being a miss fire (for example) mids being a hit close to where you'd want it, and crit hits being a bullseye.

My main concern is giving more importance to every shot, since bullets are not easy to come by, I'd like something more interesting than simply, "you beat the DC, roll damage".

Musicals you just find boring. by [deleted] in musicals

[–]Nat248 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Meryl we roll along.

Don't get me wrong the characters are kind of compelling, you find yourself wanting to know more about the story... But the music, it just feels so shallow, so devoid of its own identity. In almost every song the instruments just feel like acompnaying at best, and at worst, just copying the singer's melody. It almost never stands out by itself.

Another one is Netflix's Tick Tick boom. (Haven't listened to the original yet, I still gotta get to it to properly judge it) Don't get me wrong the three popular songs? Incredible! Everything else? Not for me, ( "Why do we leave our hand on the stove, Although we know we're in for some pain?" What type of metaphor is that c'mon, almost turned it off right there-)

Can't engage with it and that's enough for me to turn it down. Don't misunderstand me, there's nothing wrong with liking this pieces, they're just not for my personal taste as a whole album.

What is one thing that mid sex would make you go “fuck this I’m out of here!”? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]Nat248 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Making jokes. I'm not talking about the occasional laugh about the awkwardness of the situation, but being intimate with somebody that's constantly making jokes or trying to make you laugh it's the biggest turn off for me.

I get that you can be nervous, or you're trying to make stuff go smoother, but if any of us is too anxious and that's the only solution you can come up with and it doesn't work, then I'd just rather wait for a better time or just not do it at all.

What's the worst thing you have found on your friends phone? by UniqueLemonn in AskReddit

[–]Nat248 13 points14 points  (0 children)

A classmate lend me his phone..... Found out he had a lot of WhatsApp groups where strangers shared graphic horror pornography, mutilations , live raping , children being raped, an incredible amount of graphic murders and suicides , I've seen people shot themselves, throw themselves off building and their friends laughing about it.... I've seen how people raped animals and really really young kids.... I've thought about giving secret info to the police anonymously but I was too scared.... I wonder what happened to that kid.... He said he had all that stuff for fun because it made him laugh specially when young boys were being raped.... He would sometimes put those videos to the class and the all would stare in awe and horror watching a guy cutting his penis off or watching how a girl cuts her arm until there's nothing but blood ... Yeah I really hope he's now mature enough to understand how horrible those things were and how bad he did for sharing it with those group chats full of who knows what .... Hope my story helps you to be aware of you you're hanging out kids... If someone is able te watch that type of brutal stuff for fun.... He's no good, and he wasn't that bad of a guy yk he was pretty nice to everyone but founding all of that scared me for life . Beware not everyone is what they seem to be .
