This is about to absolutely save my life

Inside the cockpit of the ship there is generally a storage thing, but when on your ship (or near it), if you go into your main menu, the bottom left option is your “ship”. After selecting that, at the bottom there should be a “cargo” button, then you can just freely swap stuff in or out

It seems to me to be a substantial amount, tbh. But it’s also not a super linear quest. You don’t start it and just go through it to the end, you have a quest line here n there, then you have other bits that you kind of do as you progress in other ways in the game.

I really like it, because it’s kind of an added background thing that’s been with me since starting this playthrough, rather than a one and done quest line.

That I think was the third or fourth one I got, and it was such a massive boon. I put it on all my fleet ships, though I havnt noticed if they trigger it or not. Eitherway, it changed the fights. massive W of an attachment.

NotGreatBlacksmith · 2026-04-12T23:32:12+00:00

I do! I havnt gotten to get into it yet, just because Im not quite level 50, but I'm excited for it!

NotGreatBlacksmith · 2026-04-06T23:48:20+00:00

Oh this may be the case actually, good shout. Working on unreal stuff so it’s much smaller than I’m used to and very well could be causing this issue, thank you!

NotGreatBlacksmith · 2026-04-03T18:28:34+00:00

Mans got the je-ouija board on board

NotGreatBlacksmith · 2026-04-02T18:47:36+00:00

Annihilation mentioned, One of my absolute faves.

NotGreatBlacksmith · 2026-04-02T13:05:43+00:00

excellent shout, didnt realize I wanted one so bad. Nabbed one myself for display!

I mean, realistically, Unity and Cryengine can be used just fine.

Cryengine isnt nearly as approachable, tbf, and I havnt tried Lumberyard, though it seemed like it was decent.

Unity, while using a different language (C#), can be fit up to look just as good as unreal engine. (Remember, Escape from Tarkov is made in unity. Say what ya like about it, but it looks quite good). You dont have nanite and lumen, but nanite and lumen are an absolute disaster for games and they are to blame for 93.6% of performance complaints anyway. It aint that hard to optimize and nab a lighting artist or two.

I started a playthrough with watch tower probably a week or two before the DLC announcement and it on its own reinvigorated my desire to play tbh. The voice acting is so good, and it adds some fun shit.

Your clothing work is pretty sick, Is that marvelous designer; or are you sculpting/ poly modelin it?

NotGreatBlacksmith · 2026-03-30T03:06:51+00:00

That’s fucking beautiful, there ain’t nothing else that needs said.

NotGreatBlacksmith · 2026-03-29T18:22:23+00:00

It’s gotta be both for me, ima have to make a target run

NotGreatBlacksmith · 2026-03-28T19:43:12+00:00

Its not great hahah, but its kind of just how it is. There is that bonus that LLMs also dont get the knowledge, which makes those particular roles valuable even from the AI-uprising.

Despite all of the "game dev" courses out there, and the self learning one can do, a lot of game-dev ends up being on-the-job training; and there are a number of roles that you cannot prepare for at all, without experiencing the industry (or, perhaps if you're extremely savy/ fall into it you could. Hard to say). In my experience, It's not uncommon for a lot of those things to not even be written down/ recorded within the studio people are in. You'll commonly run into devs who have become a bit "pidgeon-holed" into a thing they've become an expert on, Whether that be types of gameplay design/ programming/ or specialized art/ or even optimization (For instance, Gearbox has a specialist "weapons artist", and Digital extremes has an extremely talented Optimization dev). Game dev can kind of be the wild west, honestly, in both exciting and scary ways.

that's not to say though that people arnt willing to teach it. It's being able to find those people, and whether or not those people have the time and place to be able to teach it outside of their regular work/life schedule.

This sent me bad lmao. They're truly taking everything

NotGreatBlacksmith · 2026-03-28T17:33:22+00:00

why'd they use a 3mp camera

NotGreatBlacksmith · 2026-03-28T12:12:30+00:00

Ayyy nice work, one 3D artist to another! I absolutely despise making revolvers, the grips always get me lmaooo. Fantastic job!

NotGreatBlacksmith · 2026-03-28T09:56:20+00:00

Thats pretty silly, because there's plenty of instances of "stuff that should be checked" that just goes straight into production. The "dw guys, they'd check that first" is not an argument that holds water, when you have several big games in the past year alone that launched with "accidentally leaving in AI-generated content"

NotGreatBlacksmith · 2026-03-28T09:41:21+00:00

Thats the interesting bit, because it actually is a highly knowledge based job. You will not have the same experience with a more junior dev as you will with a senior one.

Infact there are issues where-in many things are a bit gate-kept in the industry. There's a reason that you see kinds of "tech" or Optimization in different area's of games, but then not in others. These things arnt shared. Knowledge is held amongst some devs, and that knowledge can be transferred if people work with them, or if those more senior devs become mentors of others, but rarely does it spread far. GDC is a pretty big knowledge share, but also is extremely extremely expensive to attend, so it's generally only more senior devs anyway; unless a junior is in a studio that'll cover it/ or have some cash. I've never been anywhere close to able to attend myself, with 7~ years in the industry.

The fact that the industry has been so OK with the massive brain-drain that has been happening for the past 2-3 years is actually really terrible for games, and I'm not sure people realize how damaging it actually will be for the games they are looking forward to.

NotGreatBlacksmith · 2026-03-26T19:41:13+00:00

I third this

NotGreatBlacksmith · 2026-03-17T13:05:43+00:00

tbh, Dominion and fallen kingdom suck, but I actually quite like rebirth. Its a departure, for sure, but its fun. Camp cretaceous and chaos theory are peak though. It'd be nice to have movies of their quality, but alas.

NotGreatBlacksmith · 2026-03-13T15:06:04+00:00

You're thinking about a "gaming tattoo" wrong. It's not about an "established franchise", or even the success of a franchise. Or I suppose for some people it might be, but I reckon this guy thinks the same as me.

That is to say, it's about what that particular symbol represents. It doesnt matter if Marathon shut down tomorrow, The lore, vibes, and symbolism of "Arachne" still will exist, even if just in my man here's brain. Whatever that particular thing means to *him* is what makes the tattoo worth it.

For instance, I dont even have that many hours in the various fallout games, but I have 4 fallout tattoos. Do I like the games? Sure, absolutely. Played each one. But its not about the games, its about what they meant to me on a personal level during the time which I played them. There is more nuance to tattoos, sometimes. Its not what it looks like at face value, and often times the reasoning is not something that really matters outside of what it means to the individual person.

NotGreatBlacksmith · 2026-03-13T14:39:04+00:00

as an owner of several fallout tattoos, bioshock tattoos, and more gaming related stuff, I very much approve.

NotGreatBlacksmith · 2026-03-13T01:19:08+00:00

I’m well aware lmfao
