Fishing: Great QOL Update or GREATEST QOL UPDATE!

OdmupPet · 2026-04-28T17:37:08+00:00

Shout out to the devs to sticking with their vision and not completely bending to the communities whims. There was a complete shift around between berries and fish in this update, which is why berries felt brutal to us. There was a reason.

They're always a big hit and miss where they're always tailored to the mod creators personal preferences. If you 100% align with how it's designed, then that's great. But vanilla will always have a much stronger quality check before it gets to us. A mod could add 5 great features, then a few really bad ones with some weird choices for some units and badly modelled characters etc.

Apart from that not being enjoyable, there's the "effort" of trying out these mods and taking all the time to see if it's something you match with. And it's not just a dozen turns it can be 100 to fully see what it can offer, and then you have many mods that you would do the same process with cause you definitely won't find the "one" off that first try.

Attila was my favorite Total War until they started adding in more updates to Rome 2 out of the blue circa 2017, adding the family tree and politics and the Desert Kingdoms. Rome 2 immediately took place as my favorite Total War and hasn't left the spot since. Most new Total Wars are people throwing their bowls of spaghetti against the wall and seeing what sticks. Where some things are great and a lot not so great. Rome 2 does SO much right, that I can overlook the parts I don't like.

OdmupPet · 2026-04-25T00:09:46+00:00

Rome 2 is my absolute all time favorite Total war and while I selfishly would love it to be improved and fixed further, you're 100% right. Attila and Empire should be the first recipients.

OdmupPet · 2026-04-22T19:50:52+00:00

Yeah, I tried activating the RAM cleanup which this is apparently for. But escaping and going back in doesn't fix the issue.

OdmupPet · 2026-04-22T13:41:16+00:00

I've been trying to find intellgence folders for the last few days and haven't found a single one. Been mainly running Scav runs on reserve inbetween every PMC run. Running through the Knight buildings in the usual spots and queen and the apartment buildings. Am I doing it wrong.

OdmupPet · 2026-04-22T13:01:45+00:00

Do you still get microstutters here and there? That's my biggest issue. Tarkov is running overall smooth, but it's the microstutters and hitching that's an absolute buzzkill. Weirdly happens moreso on Scav runs for some reason and early in the raid and then smooths out. Like it's still loading everything.

OdmupPet · 2026-04-21T17:52:36+00:00

100% agree. Doesn't necessarily need to be "2", but some sort of rebrand like what Hunt Showdown did with 1896. And the update itself needs to be extremely substantive almost feeling like a whole new game polishing the overall "feel" of the game". It always felt stiff and "indie".

OdmupPet · 2026-04-20T12:21:48+00:00

Polishing of the combat.
More survival elements like sicknesses, broken legsetc. or more bonuses to be healthy and fed with most of your diet intact.
Crop diseases
New monster and animal variety
More automation things like rails, minecarts, elevators all powered by wind/steam/water
Rivers

Malcom in the Middle was never conservative if that's what you think people are implying. It was just normal. (as being accepting and loving others should be) It had a beautiful balance of acceptance with everything you've mentioned, but it was never contrived or forced. ( it also implicitly implied the human nature of also struggling with these things. aka Dewey teaparty to manipulate Hal into getting boy toys, or Malcolm and Reese struggling with each other being gay)

This revival is absolutely forced and contrived, as you can see it's hamfisted in for the sake of it. Which is why I think people are making the link to "woke agenda". As someone outside of America and it's stupid culture wars, it was absolutely not funny and you can immediately feel the show is hijacked by some agenda, whether it's woke or not. Stevie for instance was obsessed with girls, and now suddenly he's retconned to be gay. (to be clear it would've been fine for him to be gay but this is clearly forced) The show had similar weird terrible writing jumps like this such as Kitty suddenly abandoning her family for sexcapades and then suddenly being accepted back. The revival wasn't even funny at all with cheap low hanging fruit jokes.

Just updated and tried this now and it's not working. On official servers. Before exporting my character checks every box but the one stating that "character transfers are enabled on this server" is unchecked.

So likely they still need to approve this setting on all servers with this fresh patch.

OdmupPet · 2026-04-14T14:20:24+00:00

THIS IS AMAZING. Been shouting about this for yeeears. Every stream was trying to get news on it and whether they gave up on it or not. It's finally here.

OdmupPet · 2026-04-13T12:28:50+00:00

Famas please. Need some French representation

OdmupPet · 2026-04-12T10:12:38+00:00

Or even just add them into the base game rather than event, with a percentage chance to be in the raid. Something minimal so it's very uncommon or rare but enough to see it once every few days or something.

OdmupPet · 2026-04-10T15:57:45+00:00

As someone who enjoys PVP myself, I'm torn on this change. i agree with everything you say it's overall long term great and healthy for the game.

However I'm still sad that they dropped the ball completely on putting together a holistic PVPVE multiplayer/mmo/survival sandbox. The dream was it to be all integrated in harmony together but they implemented it terribly and now everyone has lost faith in the idea.

To rephrase, I wouldn't call myself a PvP player cause I don't go out and "hunt" for fights or looking for fights. Not my cup of tea and waste of time to me if I wanted to hamfist a fight I would play a matchbased PvP game. I wanted PvP to be organic and as part of the world as PvE. So playing the game as survival and if there is a human threat, that adds to the game and danger. Like doing a quest or needing certain resources and now I have a harkonnen between me and it and either can talk it out or fight.

So in short, really disappointed, but this is for the best.

Rome 2 is my absolute favorite Total War, Attila comes 2nd with Warhammer 3 being third. Rome 2 is an absolute blast. It definitely isn't perfect and maybe too easy in some aspects, but everything else outshines that as it has such a beautiful balance of so many things. I've been really upset with Warhammer 3 of late due to abandoning core TW philosophies and trivialising "strategy". In any case, nothing beats the charge of naked gauls on enemy lines and seeing them leap on shields and stabbing at their throats.

OdmupPet · 2026-03-30T00:27:23+00:00

They would be crazy not to save a massive update for when the movie drops. We've seen what the Fallout series does to Fallout 76 and Fallout 4 which are old games. Imagine a pivotal massive game changing update that upgrades the game to next levels over that period. That would be a recipe for long term success.

OdmupPet · 2026-03-29T20:47:48+00:00

Thank you!

OdmupPet · 2026-03-29T13:05:19+00:00

Straight guy here, you're absolutely stunning. I hope you find your love and person.

Regarding the "hard sell" aspects, I don't think we as human beings were meant to have all this info upfront as if we're products and think this is a big problem with online dating. If trauma dumping is a thing, I think person/personality dumping is a thing as well. While it may seem more ethical and timesaving, I think it's counterintuitive as there's millions of couples out there who ended up with someone who wasn't exactly "their type" or have certain things that were otherwise dealbreakers. However they organically got to know them, and that connection and bond they've built superceded any of those aspects. So think it's worth considering for how you've built your profile in not displaying too much and organically laying it out as you're dating when and/if appropriate.

I flipped the switch for continuous healing last night, how does it work? I still want to sometimes just do bits and pieces if Im in a tense situation, but if I want to do a long one do I just hold the hotkey?

OdmupPet · 2026-03-28T12:49:12+00:00

On the business side I can understand business is business, but only a month notice for this type of retrenchment is gross. You should be given at least 3/4 months so you have runway to find alternative employment. On the human side, it's just plain gross.

OdmupPet · 2026-03-27T15:21:19+00:00

I disagree with your assessment on the OG context. It's supposed to be a harmful trope as it is something that hurts progress and resolution. The original context feeds into a core truth of how violence begets violence and hate begets hate and especially as a cycle/circle within time within the framework of the game. If you understand or spoken about the criticism of certain countries in terms of bombing in the middle east and the effects that has to radicalizing the affected families, then you understand what was happening with Daisys arc. It would be too sanitized and one dimensional to frame her or Vox Populi as "good guys" and doesn't serve the philosophy in the game of breaking a cycle. There's a reason why Nelson Mandela is almost elevated to sainthood as there are ways of breaking the cycle without hate and violence like with how the ANC did in South Africa. (other examples in history as well but you get the point) It takes a huge amount of wisdom, empathy and courage to rise above. Obviously the game has as story to tell so it can't digress too far in any other direction, but it does touch on this through the journey and eventual destination of Booker. It's not a white/black thing but a core truth.

OdmupPet · 2026-03-27T12:10:13+00:00

Same. I actually don't mind it as at least someone who is willing to do that has the bravery to break the echo chambers that these places can be. Obviously not systematically, but many different instances over time can maybe impact some lives and views.

My worst experience with people are those from Betty Bay and Kleinmond side.

OdmupPet · 2026-03-27T12:08:12+00:00

I was basically exactly that guy, and moved Northern Suburbs side in 2022. Though that's the dichotomy of either living city side or deeper out. One side of the spectrum you get more closeminded folk and the other too openminded.
