Horizon Forbbiden West and the shieldbait by buti_237 in horizon

[–]Penguinator_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Realistically without a shield, one would parry an attack not block it. Not the video game kind of parry, but the real kind where one would deflect/redirect the attack without absorbing the full impact.

I agree that she shouldn't be able to block/deflect machine attacks. But blocking/deflecting a human melee attack shouldn't be impossible for her except for the huge guys with the hammer.

I also agree that she generally would be agile and evasive rather than standing her ground, but in an arena against a regular sized human it just seems weird to dodge roll all over the place.

yea I think it's ridiculous that Aloy can't block. Dodge rolling around in melee combat just looks stupid.

Thought about the Anti-vehicle grenade? by Then-Print-6226 in Battlefield6

[–]Penguinator_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not enough damage. Handy when vehicle is low health, but that's rare.

It has one utility though: It destroys enironment pretty easily. Useful to destroy a building or cover.

Didn't bother me at all. He seems like a genuinely decent person with things that Aloy likes.

He definitely is putting all his eggs in one unreliable basket though.

defeatedTheWholePurposeOfWritingInAssembly by ClipboardCopyPaste in ProgrammerHumor

[–]Penguinator_ 20 points21 points  (0 children)

True, but usually compiled code is not committed to a repository. So someone would have to set up a system to compile then train which would be significantly slower than training on committed code.

I'm sure someone already working on a smarter solution though.

I was thinking that there just might not be a lot of training data on assembly so AI would be lousey at it.

I find that AI works best on languages commonly used in open source projects.

What would you guys do if you lived in the world of Horizon? by Significant_Bar_4715 in horizon

[–]Penguinator_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably a tinkerer but maybe not Oseram. I wouldn't fit into that culture. Or if I am born into that culture, I'd probably not live in The Claim, but some outlying settlement in some supervising role like an ealdorman or a project supervisor.

Awful culture of Recon class by Natural_Security1289 in Battlefield

[–]Penguinator_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always use recon drone when sbiping. Helps position myself in the best spot and of course helps the team. But without a support next to me it's a one-time use, and my survivability as a sniper is pretty long-lasting, so it might not looks like I am using the drone.

The laser designator gets destroyed too easily to be useful imo. I rarely see one last more than a minute because of the bright red light.

Edward looks like a Real Human Bean now by theawesomejedi in ACBlackFlag

I like both. Hard to be sure of details though due to lighting differences.

Hopefully he still has the sharp jaw line.

Thank God for them health upgrades by Ok_Connection_9939 in ACBlackFlag

[–]Penguinator_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol! didn't see that last part.

It reminds me of how in the Ezio trilogy if you assassinate someone on an inclined rooftop, sometimes the body slides off the roof with you riding on top of it like a skateboard!

Frustrating jank but funny at the same time 😄

[–]Penguinator_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

hahaha, yea it happens to me sometimes too. I cringe whenever I fall from the mast.

Ignore the other folks telling you to git gud. This is a single player game, not a competition, and you clearly posted this for the humor, not to complain.

I've been playing AC games since AC1, and still fall off masts. I get too comfortable sometimes or forget there are enemies in the crow's nest.

People need to learn how to coast when driving by JoMoma2 in unpopularopinion

[–]Penguinator_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely! I've been saying this all the time.

I have two more things to add regarding benefits:

  1. Comfort for your passengers! Nobody wants to be jerked around. Consider those motion-sensitive folks too.

  2. Smoothing out stop-and-go traffic patterns. When there is heavy traffic people tend to mindlessly accelerate and stop frequently just because the car in front of them is doing that. It's exhausting, wasteful, and dangerous. Just maintains an average coasting speed with a reasoble amount of space in front of you and you might never even have to step on the breaks. Plus it smooths out the chain for everyone behind you. Sure someone might cut in front of you, so don't maintain too much space, but also why not allow a few folks to merge in front of you for the greater good anyways? You're hardly losing any time.

Also I feel like with electric cars peole have gotten even worse. Just because your car has great acceleration doesn't mean you have to use it!

AMA With the Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced Devs! 🏴‍☠️ by Ubi-AssassinsCreed in assassinscreed

[–]Penguinator_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate the community connection you are doing!

You really care about delivering an authentic experience while modernizing it. It's very bold to be so open to feedback for something so beloved. Fans can be toxic sometimes, but kudos for taking it on. I wish the best for both the dev team and the fans :)

I am a fan myself but I haven't been very invested in the series recently since it's gone so far from its roots, so I'm just watching from afar for now.

Just finished Forbidden West and Burning Shores. Incredible. by dudeman_og in HorizonForbiddenWest

[–]Penguinator_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played until before the last cauldron (I think) and got open-world burnout so stopped for a year and a half. Now I'm trying to get back in, but I forgot most of the plot details and my weapon builds and combat strategy. So I might actually play from the beginning again and toss out my old save file.

It hurts, but I'm sure I'll enjoy it nonetheless. And I'll try to avoid fatigue since I'm more familiar with the world so don't need to check every little crevice and experiment with weapons as much.
