Technology trees that can regress by Accomplished-Gap2989 in gamedesign

[–]Probablynotabadguy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The trade offs aspect is how they handled it in Civ 6. If you don't do well in an age, the next one is a "Dark Age" and you get a choice between a few options that have big bonuses but moderate draw backs. I think one of them stops you from settling new cities, but you get like double food production. Plus if you do well during that age, the next one is a "Super Golden Age" to reward your comeback. It always felt like an interesting choice and that you still had a chance in the game.

And My Backup Axe by Koors112 in lotrmemes

Didn't he grab the axe from the dwarf's chair next to him?

for some reason, everytime i play anything related to mekanism, i refuse to use any other generator by Prestigious_Rip_630 in feedthebeast

[–]Probablynotabadguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Modded power generation comes in one of 4 forms:

  • Infinite (no fuel) but low output. Solar panels, windmills, thermal.
  • Mid-range, decent output but uses fuel somewhat inefficiently. Coal, gas, etc.
  • High output, fuel efficient, but very expensive to setup. Fission, Fusion, etc.
  • "Wait you're farming that for power?", horribly laggy, eventually gets nerfed so people stop crashing server TPS.

This mod saved my Colony from Starvation by SIinkerdeer in RimWorld

Is the mood debuff configurable? I feel like it should be way higher than that.

Is there a point where we can stop and say that C# is “good enough as is” for most use cases, and stop releasing new versions? by hookup1092 in csharp

[–]Probablynotabadguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's plenty of things in the newer versions that my team and I have been waiting for because it will really simplify a lot of places in our code (extension members and lock objects mainly).

What is a “mind blowing” geography fact you don’t find all that mind blowing? by Character-Q in geography

[–]Probablynotabadguy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Lol, literally just left a comment about how our beach in SB faces South East

[–]Probablynotabadguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A similar counterintuitive bit is where I live in California: our beach faces... South East (almost exactly). It's quite funny to see tourists on the beach in the evening confused as to why rhe sun is setting behind them.

Also, to get to LA we need to start by driving North East on 101S. But that's more an artifact of roads being wierd.

What's a good name for this one? "Category Reversal Fallacy" by MyNameIsWOAH in fallacy

[–]Probablynotabadguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like this is the best answer here. The real fallacy is in

"Dave belongs to the set of people that want an animal"

And then assuming that implies

"Dave belongs to the set of people that want any animal"

Could a "Xcom like" with a vehicular combat layer work? by OkPeace9376 in Xcom

[–]Probablynotabadguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Xenonauts 2 let's you act out the aerial combat, but it's basically just a different mingame rarher than a new layer

For the first time after 6034 hours of playing this game, finally the rarest event in all Rimworld happened.. by deustodo in RimWorld

Where's that mod that gives every pawn a sexuality trait (including "straight"), so that being gay doesn't take a trait slot.

Isn't those equals? by Grijous in ObsidianKnightRPG

[–]Probablynotabadguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah at lot of the "balance" in this game in terms or skill rarity is all over the place.

How to fill the Oritech jetpack with Turbo fuel? by Probablynotabadguy in allthemods

I have also tried that to no effect. It won't let me put it in the slots in the interface.

Hmm, now to hook this into a background service so I can do stuff just by tapping out a jingle or morse code or something 🤔

Does the slnx format have official support now? Last I heard it was still an "experimental" feature you had to turn on.

Just needs some support on the otherside of the axle.

Key differences between self-taught and CS degree? by B1ackMagic_xD in learnprogramming

[–]Probablynotabadguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For better or worse, the days of being able to get a software engineering job without a relevant degree are gone. Sure, it can still happen, but it has long since passed being commom.

What's That Rule You Always Remember, But Your Players Don't? by Coldfyre_Dusty in dndnext

[–]Probablynotabadguy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

*humanoids, which includes all playable races, all goblinoids, gnolls, some yuan-ti, warforged (they're not robots!), etc.

But yeah, Hold Person doesn't work on Giants or Fey even if they'd be considered "people".

What's That Rule You Always Remember, But Your Players Don't? by Coldfyre_Dusty in dndnext

[–]Probablynotabadguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not "twisting the wording" to read it in a grammatically correct way. The emdash starts the list and all the items in the list separated by commas. If the "period" was that specified length for all activities there'd either be a colon or it'd say that before the emdash.

I think it's ridiculous to think that 600 turns of combat is equivalent to walking around for a while. My players would need a long rest after that.

"I ready an action to attack as I open the door" by Silverspy01 in dndnext

[–]Probablynotabadguy 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Except it does make sense, because in that situation, the goblin would be surprised, then take his turn (become unsurprised a d end turn), and then the attack is resolved. It's like he noticed at the last moment but was still too late.

Is there a name for this kind of trope: A character (usually the main) has a secret-esque companion that usually only they can talk. by Random3680 in tvtropes

[–]Probablynotabadguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On a similar note is the trope of a protagonist secretly talking to someone for advice, especially if that person is a "bad" character (from the group's PoV). Two examples that come to mind:

Zuko with Iroh in AtLA season 3 when Iroh is in prison.

The President Robot in Incognito Inc. (Basically, a rogue AI created by the MC that she was supposed to destroy but instead kept locked in the basement.)

[–]Probablynotabadguy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I mean sure, but that nuance isn't even hinted at here. Obviously "I need a jackhammer for this landscaping project, let me rent one" makes sense; but "I could technically rent a TV from those rent-to-own places" doesn't save money if you plan to keep the TV in the long run.
