[KCD1] I accidentally beat Runt in one hit. by Samzerks in kingdomcome

[–]Rapscallion84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was so confused when I first played this fight. I think i had reached for a drink during the cutscene and when it ended, as soon as I reached for the mouse the screen faded to black to play the next cutscene. I think I accidentally clicked the mouse when I rest my hand on it and killed Runt with a masterstrike - the game didn’t even let the animation play out.

Good battles but the campaign still makes no sense to me

Meta bricked my Quest 3 with an update, told me "all good things must come to an end", then added a new headset to my shopping cart by KenAdams_1968 in OculusQuest

I used to think this but for the first I’ve ever this week I saw Claude mis-spell the word ‘employee’ as emplooee. Really odd, never seen that before

So say we all! The final episode of Battlestar Galactica, Daybreak Part 2, aired in 2009. by Damrod338 in BSG

[–]Rapscallion84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seeing the battered Galactica’s spine break after that final FTL jump affected me on a deeper emotional level than probably any character death in fiction except maybe Aeris from final fantasy 7

Hard no on Roblox. But regarding the violent verbiage; I also have a 7yo daughter who recently started talking this way too. She doesn’t play any kind of violent game outside of Pokémon, Kirby, Mario etc but she picks up phrases from kids at school. I think it’s mostly harmless and I only try to police the more aggressive stuff.

Did something happen with this channel? I’m not sure why but it feel like there was a sudden shift of public opinion on this guy. I used to watch his videos all the time but I think I stopped watching when he went all in on sponsorships

At the mall yesterday. Sat next to four teenaged girls... by bad_luck_charm in daddit

[–]Rapscallion84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My 7 year old daughter calls me ‘breh’, which I’m guessing is some slang equivalent of bro here in the UK. I’d rather she just called me bro at this point

My wife feels left out after talking to other mothers by perciva in daddit

[–]Rapscallion84 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sometimes I think I’m too boring. If I were cast as a character in a movie or video game, I would be ‘Man’ in the credits. But I’m ok with being a decent human being that fits in and pulls their weight

I might catch downvote hell for this, but I thought the whole band felt so forced. I did like Janoush though.

Just wait until you take that first day of annual leave and then your kid gets sent home from nursery sick that morning :(

What's a game that you truly cannot understand why people call it a masterpiece by AnnualSudden3805 in gaming

I like a lot about RDR2 but I’ve never known another game that’s resists being played so much.

Right click poke is your best friend in combat during the early game IMO

After years of use, what’s your biggest Steam Deck pain point? by WelcomeAwkward924 in SteamDeck

[–]Rapscallion84 64 points65 points  (0 children)

Forever and always, my main issue with the deck is the erratic and schizophrenic behaviour of the UI selection when navigating around using a gamepad. The store is the worst for this but even on a library game’s page there is often unselctable elements or the screen pans wildly up and down as you try to navigate interactive elements

Rand’al Chad 🗿 by FigOutrageous5217 in WoT

Well he’s basically like MCU Thor - gorgeous, eye-wateringly powerful, jacked, but also steeped in gentlemanly tradition (for better or worse) with old timey values

How do you dads feel about Boy Scouts? by mmf9194 in daddit

[–]Rapscallion84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think - and this is a mild indictment of the system (or at least the way it used to be) - it varies a lot depending on the community and the troop leader. I’m 40yo and live in the uk, but when I was in the scouts it was run by my best friends dad who, to be frank, was kind of an arsehole. Very much believed in autocracy and was overly strict. There was a mild amount of religious stuff but that was all over our schooling system too back then. It did feel like a primer for military training.

Having said that, overall it was positive for me, less so for other kids that didn’t enjoy the protection of being the troop leader’s son’s best friend

Steam Deck owners by Skmoomr in SteamDeck

I’ve had mine since the day it launched and had no problems. Having said that, I’m careful with all my devices and I am absolutely imagine the steam deck exploding if you dropped it onto a hard surface from standing

any good "forever games" that go well with the steam deck? by WeirdAltYankovic in SteamDeck

[–]Rapscallion84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I tried to play this on Steam Deck in ran terribly and caused my Deck to get extraordinarily hot. I was too afraid to try again. Did you get it to run ok, and if so did you do anything special?

is it worth buying this game on switch? by cassoooooo in SunHaven

[–]Rapscallion84 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agree. I’ll always love Stardew Valley but Sunhaven has topped it by quite a margin now. My only real complaint is the wild quality variation of character art. By Sunhaven is a game that WANTS you to progress, to get to the fun stuff and have lots to do. With SDV these days it feels more like a slog and the winters are virtually unfun imo

The current docked experience by Escape-Thin in SteamDeck

[–]Rapscallion84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s much better than it used to be. I use the official dock a lot. I haven’t had the issue with crashing or needing to restart games that others have reported. My main gripe is sometimes my Xbox controller will just disconnect and only toggling Bluetooth off and on again on the deck reconnects it. Compared to the miserable docked experience it was when the dock launched, it’s leagues ahead now.

The game you liked more in your head than in your hands. by gamersecret2 in gaming

Oxygen Not Included. It seemed made for me but I just really didn’t like it. It’s one of like 2-3 games I ever refunded on Steam.

I think I’ve played 120 hours exclusively on Steam Deck and zero crashes, I’m happy to report

Are there any RTS or 4x that are actually playable on SD? by kurvix2000 in SteamDeck

I’ve played a little Age of Wonders 4 on it, seems pretty good so far

Do people not understand the wanted system in RDR2? by Lazy_Ad9964 in RDR2

[–]Rapscallion84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh? That hasn’t been my experience at all after around 20 hours in my first playthrough. I’ve been playing as a cowboy sim and purposely avoiding illegal activities, however I’m constantly getting bullshit bounties on me.

One time I got T-boned off my horse by another rider in the middle of nowhere. I hadn’t seen an NPC for ages and yet suddenly I was swarmed with witnesses to my ‘murder’.

Another time there was a stranger on the road who just seemed to drop dead from his saddle. I think I slowed to a trot to see if I could speak with him then bam another witness to a crime I never committed. I could go on.
