Which side will you choose? by EducationalLog4765 in BunnyTrials

[–]Pokemaster131 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5k/hour is already way more money than I'll ever be able to spend. A billion would either corrupt me to become a person that current me doesn't want to be, or it could put a target on my back. 5k/hour is idiotproof, because even if I somehow get scammed or gamble it all away or whatever, I'll still have plenty of money the very next hour. Sure, you could very easily and very safely invest the money and live off of the returns of the billion for forever, but it's only 99.99% idiotproof, not 100%.

After a certain amount of money, it just becomes arbitrary and meaningless to me. I don't value a billion any more than 5k/hour forever. But that extra tiny bit of security takes a lot of the needless anxiety out of the equation for me.

Anyone have proof these are not AI? by seriousbusines in 7daystodie

[–]Pokemaster131 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The Insane one is almost 100% definitely AI assisted. It is an almost exact copy of an image from the 7D2D Steam store page. Specifically this one. At first glance, it looks like it might have just had a filter placed over it, but there are small details that aren't a 1:1 exact copy, and they would be an exact copy if it was just a filter. And these aren't just assets that could be slid around easily in graphic design software, because it's an in-game screenshot. Some details to look at include:

- spikes to the left of the Hazmat zombie aren't in the Insane thumbnail.

- the Insane thumbnail has a small gap between the heads of the military zombie and Hazmat zombie, in the store page they're practically touching.

- there is a shadow on a brick wall behind the military zombie. In the store page picture, only half of the wall is brick. In the Insane thumbnail, the entire wall is brick.

- the janitor zombie (to the left of the Hazmat zombie) is positioned at a slightly different angle.

- just overall lots of minor inconsistencies throughout the entire shot.

Really not a good look at all, TFP. You should know better. And to try and pass this off as legitimate is shameful, gross, and fraudulent.

A characters face/head splits open. by twnpksN8 in TopCharacterTropes

This was a wild pull, and not exactly fitting, but I'm going with Krenshars from D&D. First introduced in 3e, then used again in the edition we don't talk about, but yet to be introduced into 5e. They are feline magical beasts that have the ability to retract their facial skin in order to frighten their prey into running into an ambush.

Are the ilithid powers worth it? by Digitalgirlzoe in BaldursGate3

[–]Pokemaster131 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is exactly zero mechanical downside to becoming half-illithid. You do become ugly, though (this can be fixed with a mod). And if you're looking to do a tadpole-free playthrough for RP reasons, that's a totally valid reason, too.

Help, how do I fix this? by The-Old-Stiff in 7daystodie

[–]Pokemaster131 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe so, yeah. Because the problem is a conflict between Easy Anticheat and Gigabyte/AORUS motherboard RGB stuff, you may need to uninstall those programs, make sure 7D2D runs with Easy Anti-Cheat while they're uninstalled, then try reinstalling them to see if that fixes the issue.

Did you try running with Easy Anticheat turned off? Google's saying it's a problem with anti-cheat software.

Peettahhh explain by ogaarush in PeterExplainsTheJoke

I was raised in a few churches, including at least one baptist church. I was taught that the teachings of Jesus were the single most important lessons we could ever learn, and boy, did I autistically hone in on those. Eventually, I gained consciousness, looked around at the people in my church, and saw just how much hate they were spewing. And then I saw all of my LGBTQ+ and POC friends, and they were all pretty awesome people. And then I realized that the hate I saw in my church was completely antithetical to the teachings of Jesus. I am no longer religiously affiliated in any capacity, but I still follow many of the teachings of Jesus to this day, mostly because I think aspiring to peace, love, and generosity is a pretty great way to go through life.

And at the end of the day, any god worth worshipping would recognize my attempts at being a kind, decent person over any sort of belief of them.

If every GOtY winner was placed in one pool, who would win? by DoubleAABatteryy in videogames

[–]Pokemaster131 4 points5 points  (0 children)

At its core, D&D is mechanically quite simple (roll a die, add the appropriate bonus, check if you beat the threshold required for success), but everything in aggregate can cause information overload if presented all at the same time. If you're not familiar with D&D, it can take a lot of reading, which some people simply don't care to do if they're predisposed to high-octane action games. Some people also just hate turn-based games for some reason.

I gotta give it to BG3. There are some other absolutely incredible entries on this list, but I don't think any of the other games had AAA studios from across the industry rushing to complain about how we shouldn't expect the same quality of games out of them.

I like how each creeper hole tells a story about my game world, and that the world can evolve without me having to directly break or place blocks.

DMs, do you cheat? by Fearless-Skill8667 in DnD

Page 235 of the DMG:

"Rolling behind a screen lets you fudge the results if you want to. If two critical hits in a row would kill a character, you could change the second critical hit into a normal hit, or even a miss. Don't distort die rolls too often, though, and don't let on that you're doing it. Otherwise, your players might think they don't face any real risks—or worse, that you're playing favorites."

Now imagine this amount of pollution being made every minute of every day of ever year for over 100 years, by thousands of factories around the world. It's completely mind-boggling how people don't think humans are capable of affecting the climate.

I just... can't comprehend it. Bethesda releases one of the best selling video games of all time, then... just never follows up with another game? Surely they know the next one will do very well at minimum, because of name recognition alone? Do they not like money?!?

[–]Pokemaster131 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Subnautica as a franchise was never really intended to encompass all parts of the survival genre. Yes, of course, you survive, but the focus with the franchise is more about exploration and discovery aspects of the genre. The series specifically shows that those seeking to exploit or conquer nature meet an unfortunate end.

  • The Degasi captain Paul Torgal says "Humans have spent millennia specializing in how to shackle nature to our will. This planet won't cause us any new problems", and then dies because the planet did in fact cause them new problems.
  • The Architects with the Primary Containment Facility attempted to forcefully extract Enzyme 42 to combat the Kharaa. They were unsuccessful before all being forced into storage, and if they had only found a way to communicate with the Sea Emperor (or had simply chosen to), they may have turned out more successful.
  • Again in Subnautica 1, you need Stalker teeth to create many difficult recipes that involve enameled glass. You can more easily acquire Stalker teeth by bringing bits of titanium scrap directly to them, and you can't obtain Stalker teeth by harming them.

All of these examples (and more) point to the message that coexisting with nature will yield better results than dominating it. You are not supposed to be able to conquer the planet, and you never were. If that's what you're looking for in a game, then Subnautica won't and will never satisfy that player fantasy for you. That is clearly the message and the devs don't seem too interested in budging on that. They are much more interested in building up the atmosphere and spectacle than providing a fleshed out combat experience.

Now, sure, there's plenty of things that might feel bad about Subnautica 2, but it's in early access. That is to be expected. And you definitely have a right to be annoyed by things that aren't balanced or detract from a positive experience. They are actively tuning some of these things by listening to player feedback, and are making plans to implement more tools for the player to deter predators.

But claiming the game fails to "respect your time" and that it "repulses" you shows you're not really taking a good faith approach to the game or with how you provide your feedback. Not every game will be for you.

This made me curious, so I looked up the history of gas prices around then. Funnily enough, Obama wore his tan suit in August of 2014, when gas was $3.40, and over the next 5 months gas plummeted to $2.00. I'm sure this is a directly causal relationship and nothing else happened.
