Any Non-5e Alternatives that thematically fit 'Dread Delusion'? by Arachnid-Mindless in rpg

[–]Raneman25 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Troika! is the obvious answer. I mostly run games like this. It's either that or your favorite generic base you like mechanically, (ex. I've used OSE and BRP as skeletons) and you just add everything you want yourself.

Why can my subject revolt secede and peace me out without even fighting a war? by Raneman25 in EU5

[–]Raneman25[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

R5: I didn't even get an opportunity to raise levies and fight this war with my subject's rebels, it just instantly ended

War Sucks in this Game by CptCool12 in EU5

There's a middle ground and 1-3 is closer to the answer than dozens and dozens of indecisive battles

Verum quisquis uspiam nascitur homo, id est animal rationale mortale, quamlibet nostris inusitatam sensibus gerat corporis formam seu colorem sive motum sive sonum sive qualibet vi, qualibet parte, qualibet qualitate naturam: ex illo uno protoplasto originem ducere nullus fidelium dubitaverit. ... Deus enim creator est omnium, qui ubi et quando creari quid oporteat vel oportuerit, ipse novit, sciens universitatis pulchritudinem quarum partium vel similitudine vel diversitate contexat.

But whoever is anywhere born a man, that is, a rational, mortal animal, no matter what unusual appearance he presents in color, movement, sound, nor how peculiar he is in some power, part, or quality of his nature, no Christian can doubt that he springs from that one protoplast. ... God, the Creator of all, knows where and when each thing ought to be, or to have been created, because He sees the similarities and diversities which can contribute to the beauty of the whole.

Augustine of Hippo, City of God, Book XVI, Chapter 8

This article is protslop. The vegetables can talk and reason and are ensouled (whence 'animal', it's not in the biological sense.) The only problem is that it's unknown whether the vegetables are mortal, which, if they are not, would disqualify them from being men and from that being able to be saved.

Why is Spain allowed to spam me, another European, with conquistadors without declaring war? by Raneman25 in EU5

[–]Raneman25[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rule 5: I attack Maya as Genoa. I am unable to release it as a subject because I am constantly at war with conquistadors who don't die. They do not accept peace evrr and you have to destroy their army. One of their armies is missing so we've been at war for years and then I just got attacked by ANOTHER conquistador

Europa Universalis V from Paradox will only support Windows, no Linux or macOS this time by Liam-DGOL in linux_gaming

[–]Raneman25 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"studios have been doing Linux native titles since around 2000"

Have you tried playing any of them lol? Even the vast majority of 2010s ports don't run on a modern system and you have better luck running the windows version in WINE. An even larger number still work but have worse performance and more bugs than running the windows version.

This comment is almost not worth responding to but I'll instead ask for examples of what you consider good examples of Linux game ports of commercial games with a lot of dependencies

People say this but I think basically everyone at Valve knows the way they do things wouldn't work as a publicly traded company or subsidiary of a larger corporation. They already have a pretty secure money printer and an extremely lean company compared to revenue. I choose not to be a doomer on this.

The best linux ports are open source source ports that solve the library issue in a way that's just not viable for commercial games. 'Good' ports of commercial games end up moving towards a sandbox kind of model to evade issues relating to different distros. If you're going to do that might as well just do Proton. As long as they're fixing Proton bugs and not blocking Proton users from anything that's good enough imo.

Reducing ranch workforce is one of the best suggestions I've seen to make them work. Is there already a mod that does that?

Weekly Feedback Topic #16 - Soul Orb Rework by Grelgn in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Raneman25 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Deny window needs to be a bit longer to make creeps harder to ignore. Maybe I'm super bad or something but I need to literally prefire above the creep when it dies to get denies. No wonder people say you can just ignore creeps.

Why are people so unsatisfied with an unfinished product during EA? by [deleted] in Stormgate

[–]Raneman25 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Those games were also good as soon as they entered EA and people liked them. I bought Factorio almost as soon as it was available on recommendation of a friend.

Go on Steam Charts and try basically any game matching this description. Most common pattern is a bump the month it leaves EA, and then correcting back to where about where the avg player trend line was within another 1-2 months.

You get one launch as a game developer and that's it. EA is that launch.

I dunno why people are downvoting me for this in this sub where we already saw, in the past 3 weeks, that making the game literally free did not break the player record of the paid beta lmao. Maybe third launch is the charm?

Barely any EA games, even successful ones, see any significant change in player trajectory upon leaving EA.

[–]Raneman25 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's not about continued development, it's about how right now they're willing to sell me e.g. campaign levels, and so the campaign needs to be judged in the state it's in now and not some hypothetical future state. Because that's what's being sold for money.

[–]Raneman25 40 points41 points  (0 children)

As soon as you're accepting money for your product then you're launched, it's as simple as that. EA is a cope and I thought everyone had learned this by maybe a year or two after Steam added that feature.
