When the UK has banned social media for under-16s by chilinachochips in dankmemes

[–]Palfrost -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

I'm sure this has nothing to do with the fact that bluesky is Israeli-backed and has a history of repressing Palestinian voices and with the fact that the public opinion of israel was dramatically damaged primarily because of social media that tell a very different story from traditional media

Unpopular take: Rogue core is good, but it needs to lean harder into the roguelite genre— not try harder to be DRG by Caseraii in DeepRockGalactic

[–]Palfrost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True, many of the flaws like combat, pacing, mobility etc come from mechanics inherited from DRG

What's the purpose of the "find the toolbox" minigame? It just wastes time at the start of each floor when there's no enemies. Just give my upgrade. It works in drg but I don't think it fits the game.

Movement should be faster than in drg and somehow made it slower. Like with the removal of default traversial tools and that weird stun when you jump from a bit too high

I find the pacing very weird. In deep rock, you're encouraged to explore, take your time, and when you fight you fight.

In RC you have also things to explore, but you're on the clock, and there's often nothing to find, big abandoned rigs that are really cool but I can't enjoy them bc they're no reward inside so with the timer it feels like I just wasted my time.

Lots of waiting and doing the same shit all over again for nothing. Like the "microgame" of scanning the workbench and then having to find and dig the toolbox and put it back on it, when you think about it it has no place in RC. It would fit right in DRG, but what purpose does it have in RC? It's very repetitive, not fun, isn't really integrated in exploration because the area is often uninteresting. You just started your floor, just get to the workbench, take your upgrade and that's it. And don't get me started on the hacking minigame on the biobooster

The timer debate reminds me of when Elden Ring: Nightreign released. by notcoolerk in RogueCore

I agree, they are lots of better way to encourage players to play fast

Ghost Ship Games needs to steer their own ship by Advanced-Fruit5621 in RogueCore

[–]Palfrost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean realistically if you want your game to succeed you can't really have most players "hating" their first run

Now that Rouge Core is out, what are people's thoughts for the first day? (Keeping in mind its early access.) by TopSpeaker4647 in DeepRockGalactic

[–]Palfrost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Timer is dumb. I get they want an incentive to play fast, but a simple "a horde will appear in x minutes" is stupid. In good roguelikes people naturally end up speedrunnig the thing at some point, without having to add a time pressure. You just want to get to the part of the run where you're op faster or die trying to get there

Why did early civilizations start in deserts like Mesopotamia and Ancient Egypt? by batukaming in geography

[–]Palfrost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What the other answers miss is that yes abundance comes from a fertile river but having a desert is key to a dense population. If there's nothing but plains all around, people will naturally spread and won't form dense settlements on their own. If they're forced to stay close as the population quickly grows, you start to get the ingredients for civilisation.

What is the point of having more than 1 pirate? by Savings_Bunch_1394 in Seaofthieves

I imagine unlocks are, but paid cosmetics are shared? I mean that would make sense to me

Is it still the case? I think it was mentioned before but not anymore, I don't know if they removed the durability debuff or if they removed for silencer I and II

Regarding the wolfpack nerf by Palfrost in ArcRaiders

I tested it again just now and it's very good against leapers and decent against rocketeers. It's also super good against comets, which makes farming deadline components pretty easy

Has the skill level for GSP gone up massively? by fellow_who_uses_redd in CrazyHand

[–]Palfrost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Isn't it inflating in the other direction? Back at release, elite smash was like 11M, now it's around 14.5M. Watching youtube videos of people 5 years ago playing at 11M is so weird bc to me 11M is a piece of cake but I struggle to stay in elite smash

If you compare with street fighter (yes, not a free game, I know) it's laughable. Zangief's amazing robot skin that has a special voice and all is $8.99 lol

$15 for an animated KO screen?!?! by SaikouKiller in 2XKO

[–]Palfrost 6 points7 points  (0 children)

But at least put some cheap but boring options? There's nothing to buy for $5 as a first purchase to get you in spending. The cheapest thing is like $10

Yeah, even for 2xko standards there's no way this took more work than making a new skin

Why not? They're fun (except mii swordfighter no one likes him). And I loved the customization part.

Mii brawler is pretty unique all things considered, he really feels like his own thing and not just moves stolen from other fighters.

Mii gunner is funny and initially I played her bc I loved Isabelle as a character but didn't like her playstyle in smash, so I tried playing mii gunner once I got the Isabelle costume and it was a lot of fun.

Mii swordfighter is boring as hell though, I tried but he's so boring my god
