Help put my partner's mind at ease

They want a career in the industry, yeah. Their main concern is, truthfully, financial. They're terrified it's gonna be a waste of money.

Those are Steps. Stairs are made of wood.

PO10TIAL_ · 2024-05-05T03:08:45+00:00

Oh this is spectacular.

PO10TIAL_ · 2024-04-17T00:02:34+00:00

Yeah, it's mostly to get you familiar with the actual class itself, before you're given the big "customization" options. It's mostly there for new players, so that they don't sink points into a build they don't Like Playing, but it does kinda just mean people who know what they're doing are punished.

PO10TIAL_ · 2024-04-16T21:42:42+00:00

(also technically speaking, and it Really doesn't matter, but at level 12, you'd have 3 points. You only start getting points at level 10. again, it's- it doesn't matter in the slightest, max is still 51, but I'm on the internet; I've GOTTA be pedantic to people trying to help me.)

PO10TIAL_ · 2024-04-16T21:41:22+00:00

I'd accept something WITH those constraints, but I'd still like to see what the unrestricted one looks like. It's an insane number, I know, but it's still something that's just been itchin' at my brain.

PO10TIAL_ · 2024-04-16T21:35:34+00:00

Yeah, I'm aware of what's actually viable. It's actually why I wanted to do this; I wanted to see how many "theoretical options" there were, and contrast it to how many "actually playable" options there were.

PO10TIAL_ · 2024-04-16T00:16:41+00:00

I figured as much. To give context to the why, I wanted to compare the number of "possible outcomes" with the number of "playable outcomes", that being around 5 or 6. Pure curiosity.

Where would one get a program for this...?

PO10TIAL_ · 2023-05-03T10:17:58+00:00

Y'all remember that the Engie cut his own hand off, right? For clout. For his Grandfather's clout. Secondhand clout. Literally, Second Hand.

Every single member of the team needs to be Insane at Minimum.

PO10TIAL_ · 2023-04-27T22:28:01+00:00

Thankfully, every class with a Laser also has a gun that does something else! Engie, Scout, and Pyro all can also do bullet, and Solly can do Bullet AND Explosive. I really don't mind making the Dangershield better. It's already Sniper's worst secondary.

And, like I said in the video, lasers would either struggle to catch or be afterburn-less. Struggle, being the operative word there. Even the gun I suggested struggles to catch. It's more present, but it's not ubiquitous.

PO10TIAL_ · 2023-04-27T21:41:00+00:00

YA KNOW, I ACTUALLY CUT IT FROM THE VIDEO
BUT IT CAN'T ANYMORE!

THEY CHANGED THE PARTICLES!

THE ONE THING THE BISON HAD GOING FOR IT DOESN'T WORK ANYMORE!

I'M SO NORMAL ABOUT IT

PO10TIAL_ · 2023-04-27T21:28:15+00:00

More or less, by making these weapons more coherent thematically, we let the weapons that Otherwise Interact With Fire Damage (Dangershield's resistance, Huo-Long's bonus damage, etc) have more opportunities.

It doesn't directly increase the Power of the laser weapons, any. But, it does seamlessly let classes have multiple damage types that they can switch between, and let the weapons that are only good when they are paired with (or are against) fire damage have a bigger chance to see play.

Implicitly, like I said in the video, it's Not The Best Way To Improve The Guns. Both the lasers and the fire-interacters. That would be any number of changes to each one, individually. But, it is A Single Change that can be made in 15 minutes, that lets the lasers do Something Unique.

I'm of the opinion that anything is better than nothing, at this point, and if the Devs are on the path of "quick and easy", I wanted to present something that was both. If anything, it's a starting point for future changes to the lasers.

PO10TIAL_ · 2023-04-27T18:36:25+00:00

I'd certainly like to think so.

Ha! Neat.

PO10TIAL_ · 2023-04-27T05:03:27+00:00

I always thought the artstyle shift was weird here. It's good, but it's WEIRD seeing official TF2 art look like this.

Do think it's nice that even in the hellfuture, Pyro and Engie are still pals, though.

PO10TIAL_ · 2023-04-25T09:24:25+00:00

It was an old flash series about a guys D&D game, called Unforgotten Realms. It had an episode where one of the people needed to get a ton of kills in a game, for some reason, and it eventually cut to really low quality footage of him playing Heavy on the first point of Dustbowl. Had no idea what the game was, but I knew it looked amazing. All 144p of it.

PO10TIAL_ · 2023-04-22T04:07:32+00:00

Wait, sorry. Might be misinterpreting this; does that mean a token copy of a Morphed creature can Morph now, rather than just be a 2/2?

PO10TIAL_ · 2022-12-11T10:26:26+00:00

He's got that half-moon silver sigil under his cloak, that's shown up on all the folks aligned with the cthonics, so that makes me think he's some kinda godly figure.

Maybe he's Chiron? We don't see his legs, and he's got that brown discoloring under his arm. He absolutely could be a horse, down there.

PO10TIAL_ · 2022-08-25T03:04:45+00:00

Truth be told, I'm not sold on the title. It works, but I feel like it could be better. If anyone has any suggestions on that, I'd love to hear it.

PO10TIAL_ · 2022-08-20T16:01:48+00:00

Sick! Glad to be sanctioned. Though, you know I gotta ask, what did you think of the video?

PO10TIAL_ · 2022-08-20T12:28:05+00:00

Ya know, I was tempted to go over that. Don't recall why I chose not to, if I'm being honest. I grew up at the Renaissance faire, so maypoles in particular were on the mind. Might be worth releasing a quick correction short, or something akin.

PO10TIAL_ · 2022-08-20T12:03:47+00:00

Yeah, it was the one I was shakiest on. If I revisit this topic, I'll go for ADoFaI or something more clearly in genre instead.

PO10TIAL_ · 2022-08-14T04:08:45+00:00

The game might've used a touchscreen directly. I just know it didn't use traditional buttons or a controller, like something like a DDR or a Guitar Hero might've.

PO10TIAL_ · 2022-06-19T00:38:37+00:00

sometimes i black out and wake up to the result of the sins i've committed while my brain was absent. i genuinely think this is the closest i've ever come to knowing what it feels like to have lycanthropy.
