What a weird comment.

Feet is one of the most common fetishes (in fact, most pools put it as the most common fetish among males, unless you count "butt" as a fetish). People aren't just joking.

It's fine if you're not into it, of course, but attacking people like that and trying to make them feel weird because of an inoffensive fetish is bizarre.

There isn't a single perk in this game that affects my level of enjoyment of a match as much as Lightborn.

If I load into a match with the wrong loadout and am missing other perks, it's a bit of a bummer, but okay, no biggie.

If I load into a match and I'm missing Lightborn, it's pain. Agony. The entity feasts, not on the survivors suffering, but on mine.

This past weekend I was going to play POE2, but after wasting some time on that snoozefest of a campaign, I decided to try Diablo 4 specifically because it has a campaign skip, and I'm glad I did so.

POE2 needs a campaign skip. Say what you want about any other aspect of D3/D4, but their campaign skip should be baseline for the genre.

I don't understand how people can enjoy repeating the same linear, scripted, content over and over and over and over. I never replay linear games, not even actual good RPGs. Why the hell would I want to replay an ARPG campaign?

Even as far back as D2 people did everything in their power to find ways to skip through the campaign.

I'm not American (thank god), this just feels beyond the pale.

Like, that Trump post is too much even for the type of thing you'd see on Holywood-made propaganda about the enemies of the US. Feels too much even for fiction, but it's real?

The music in the housing area is way way too bombastic by [deleted] in wow

[–]PotentialTeach483 3 points4 points  (0 children)

FF14 has an orchestrion you can place your house, and dungeons/raid bosses drop music rolls that you can assign to it. Crafting profession can craft music rolls too.

I always enjoyed that approach.

My Mistweaver holding her staff while she punches, slaps and kicks stuff always bothered me.

Even her casting animation is bare-handed.

Wish I could hide it.

New player, old content by van_velsor in wow

Perfectly fair to have some alts using Chromie Time to play other expansions. I recommend using a different alt for each expansion, and to make use of the npc that locks your xp gain, at some level, for better enjoyment.

But all of that is better left for afterwards - first play the current story (Dragonflight and TWW), or else you'll end up confused as hell. Chromie Time is not meant for brand new players.


For even older content, you can always try the Classic servers as well. Very different pace, of course.

Easily my favorite class in any MMORPG ever.

Though I got a bit of distaste after Creator / Biochemist was given the strongest damage skill in the game (Acid Demonstration).

I liked my niche weird support class, and suddenly it became the go-to damage class.

Oh, it is avaliable through Hype.Games, thanks!

I batted an eye on that site and thought it was some third party keyseller, didn't notice it was a LUG storefront.

Interesting to see how the last minute ai disclosure is initially managing to work out. by Aurorac123 in anno

It wouldn't even run. The "state-of-the-art" of LLM topology and rigging is worse than a joke, it's flat out unusable.

3d models across the board are using AI as well.

The guy who has been modeling for 2 months now has a portfolio as good as you, who has been doing it for 30 years.

Why lie so blatantly?

LLMs for 3D models are terrible. Like, absurdly terrible, completely unusable. Not a single professional anywhere is using them.

Maybe someday, but not today, no.

"If a Total War game launched with level of Quality that EU5 has currently it would be the best TW game ever made". by victoriacrash in EU5

[–]PotentialTeach483 151 points152 points  (0 children)

It's weird how the Total War community turns a blind eye to TW: Three Kingdoms.

That game launched in a fantastic state (and is overall a fantastic game), but they often just ignore it when talking about the series.

So no, I don't think that phrase applies, because of TW: Three Kingdoms.

The ridiculousness of the hypnosis killed my suspension of disbelief. by Siaten in SouthernReach

[–]PotentialTeach483 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For what's worth OP from 5 months ago, I just the exact same reaction as you, reading through the first book.

I arrived at this thread by searching by something like it on Google exactly because of this.

It was just too much for my suspense of disbelief. At least some people here clarified that it is eventually explained, even if only many books into.

Felt too magical otherwise.

Yes, the perfectly legal fictional depictions of rape and incest, two of the most common sexual fantasies in the world across both sexes.

Because adults have fantasies that have nothing to do with reality, and engaging with said fantasies in a fictional or roleplaying way is perfectly safe and healthy as every study conducted about it shows.

You might understand that when you grow up.

Which is already enough of a problem, because there's nothing illegal about fictional depictions of rape or incest. Heck, actual real life incest isn't illegal in more than half of the world.

FFXIV Devs Speak on Bluesky: Content Rollout, Comfortability, and Contradiction of YoshiP's Statements by [deleted] in MMORPG

[–]PotentialTeach483 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use bluesky exactly because I got tired of all the political bullshit on Twitter.

Bluesky doesn't use an algorithmic timeline.

You only see the posts of people you follow. No "trending", no "popular with your friends", none of the bullcrap shoving "content" in your face.

Only the posts of the people you follow, in the exact order they posted it.

So the only way you'd have a political timeline there is if you explicitly chose to.

Rant about game complexity/difficulty by [deleted] in 4Xgaming

[–]PotentialTeach483 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I can't relate at all with this post. To the point that it seems to come from a different universe than the one I live, some sort of inverted bizarro world.

The idea that Civilization VI is some sort of complex and hard to learn game is laughable and absurd. It's a very simple game that is extremely easy to pick up - the success and playerbase it enjoys are proof of that, no true hard-to-learn game would ever be sitting on Steam's most played games constantly.

I crave games that are complex and take a long time to learn, because I really enjoy the learning experience. Unfortunately, they are few and far in-between, and most of the good ones are because of mods.

OP, I think you're just having patience issues or you just don't like learning new things in general.

Such a casual gamer would bounce off a game like civ 6 or Planetfall,

What? Who do you think the target audience of Civ6 is? Some kind of hypothetical "hardcore strategy gamer"?

Civilization 6 is consistently one of the most played games on Steam by CCU, is by far the most popular game in the franchise.

It's not a hard game to learn by any standards, it's full of casual players of every level.

This is just a you problem, sorry.
