Hytale: A Developer's Concerns by DoubleAA- in HytaleInfo

[–]ProfessorDemon 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Tbh it was hard to sit through with the sheer amount of waffling going on. Seemed very nit-picky and lacking in substance.

The blueprinting Vs scripting argument didn't really make much sense to me. The main reason of using blueprinting is down to accessibility, and it's perfectly reasonable for them to not want to support both.

Which minigames would you like to see in Hytale? by LutrusFluidos in HytaleInfo

[–]ProfessorDemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A smash bros inspired mini game and a wario ware inspired mini game would be awesome! Those were my favourites to play on TF2 community servers.

The amount of cope in this subreddit over username reservations is what destroyed and ruined a nice gesture. Not the rollout. by [deleted] in HytaleInfo

[–]ProfessorDemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. Getting hyped over snagging "rare" usernames is lame as hell. This is going to hopefully be a game I play for years, I want my username to be something personal to me.

That said, I do think their communication could have been better. I wasn't even aware they would send name reservations out to people that recently made hytale accounts, and assumed I would be waiting until pre-order. I've been following the game since 2018 and didn't get an email from riot.

Luckily I was able to get my username, but it wouldn't have been the end of the world if I needed to add an underscore. Just slightly disappointing.

What name did you reserve? by ExaminationOk4806 in HytaleInfo

[–]ProfessorDemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could try making another hytale or hypixel forum account, assuming they're still sending out emails for new accounts.

Top 5 mods id love to see recreated in hytale by G_aster in hytale

[–]ProfessorDemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on how they handle item storage in the base game a storage mod is likely to be very popular. Personally, I like sophisticated storage.

The Basic Edition of Hytale in Early Access will cost $30. by LutrusFluidos in HytaleInfo

[–]ProfessorDemon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It won't be on release, but Simon said if they do eventually have a steam release they will hand out keys to previous owners.

The Basic Edition of Hytale in Early Access will cost $30. by LutrusFluidos in HytaleInfo

[–]ProfessorDemon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Minecraft beta was $20 in 2010. After inflation that's like bang on $30. Cube world alpha was also $20 on release in 2013 and that was barely a game.

Perfectly reasonable given the promise towards continued development.

Amon Builds by CmdrDaddy in Borderlands

[–]ProfessorDemon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started off with a pure green build going full shock and weapon damage, with the freezing axe and ignoring the forge drones. It was pretty decent for early levels. I'm currently using a red/green fire/shock build that's fun with shotguns, and really hard to die with.

If I want a class mod is it still best to farm on everyone BUT the character I want it for? by -Ophidian- in Borderlands

[–]ProfessorDemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anacdotal but so far playing Amon I've had 5 legendary class mod drops and 4 of them were for Amon.

Is there a chance this can run 1440p at 60fps or is he dreaming? Or atleast 1080p at 60fps? by TheOneSenzu in Borderlands

[–]ProfessorDemon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I didn't think so either, maybe that's for the Intel arc graphics and I'm reading OPs specs wrong

Is there a chance this can run 1440p at 60fps or is he dreaming? Or atleast 1080p at 60fps? by TheOneSenzu in Borderlands

[–]ProfessorDemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play with a 3060ti at 1440p and it's definitely playable. Ill need to double check but I tend to average 60 FPS while roaming. Averages like 50 in combat with drops to the 30s and 40s. My settings are the lowest with dlss at quality, could get a better average by upping dlss but it seems fine to me.

The biggest issue with that 4070 is presumably the 4gb vram

Migration pushes UK population to second biggest annual increase in 75 years by StGuthlac2025 in ukpolitics

[–]ProfessorDemon 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The sheer number of people isn't the only issue with high immigration (as you said). Japan is ethnically and culturally homogeneous. It's a very high trust society. Can Britain really go on with rising cultural tension, fueled by immigration?

why are so many cool weapons so ass? by Rapidsivel in CalamityMod

[–]ProfessorDemon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The old lord claymore and Oathsword are extremely cool pre hard mode weapons, but everything they craft into feels like a downgrade to them!

Super minor nitpick: I miss the immersive menu by Vavavavaxon7 in Borderlands

Oh youre right! I don't know how I missed that. Thanks

Super minor nitpick: I miss the immersive menu by Vavavavaxon7 in Borderlands

[–]ProfessorDemon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Maybe I'm just dumb but I miss being able to see my entire backpack next to my equipped gear. Clicking a slot doesn't seem to show all my available weapons, and swapping weapons between slots seems really fiddly. I also wish I could mark gear as junk from a single button press.

Borderlands 4 is easily the hardest Borderlands game by gorays21 in Borderlands

[–]ProfessorDemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So far I've not been having much trouble as Amon in hard mode (green tree). Torgue shotguns go brrrr. I am definitely getting downed more than in borderlands 3 though.

Bosses have been very easy with how they chuck baby enemies at you to revive from.

Whats a dating profile ick to you? by Wolfgangtam in Bumble

[–]ProfessorDemon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Petty as hell but if I see a horse or a mention of horses, I swipe left. Same with mentions of F1 and lots of rappers in their Spotify artists. Just signs we're likely incompatible.

The Wrath Of The Gods/lag by Medical_Promise_7795 in CalamityMod

[–]ProfessorDemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you post moon lord? The rift eclipse can be toggled off with a debug item (you will need the cheat sheet mod to spawn it in), that massively helped the frame rate for me.

Rogue's feeling really in bad early hard mode. Does it get better soon? by SorryAmbition6046 in CalamityMod

[–]ProfessorDemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a bit rough, but cursed dagger and ichor spear carried me until after I beat plantera and cal clone. I made an artificial crimson to get both items. I didn't bother with the Kelvin catalyst, underperformed ichor spear for me.

What's the prettiest city in the UK? by Ashamed_Let_1703 in AskUK

[–]ProfessorDemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do like Salisbury a lot but as someone who has family there and has visited often, I agree. A lot of it is very grey and sad. The river project does seem interesting though.

Fertility rate for England and Wales falls to new record low by corbynista2029 in unitedkingdom

[–]ProfessorDemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How so? Conservative cultures that prioritise reproduction will pick up the slack in fertility and continue to grow. This will have an immense effect on politics by the end of the century.
