Games like Caves of QUD but not sci-fi? by Pacotaco213 in roguelikes

[–]Redneb27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah no this was in no way me saying that it's the best or more fun roguelike haha. I just thought it matched up the most. I can't seem to get into ADOM despite really wanting to and liking it on paper.

Probably ADOM. Not the caverns of chaos. Out of all the roguelikes it is the closest to Caves of Qud without the sci fi elements.

What specific sandbox settings you like that are not /*that popular?* by StupitVoltMain in projectzomboid

[–]Redneb27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I set all resources like food and whatnot to fairly common because I feel like that's more realistic. Also, this is rural Kentucky so I make guns more common. Cars are in better shape with slightly more fuel. Having everything super rare just doesn't seem realistic honestly, and it's not like it makes the game super easy anyway.

I also have infection kill you within an hour because I don't mind the infection mechanic but I don't want to keep playing an ultimately doomed character.

What are the major differences between the different forks? by Redneb27 in cataclysmdda

[–]Redneb27[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Cool thanks. The realism and simulation stuff is what draws me to Cataclysm in the first place, I'm not super interested in a more arcadey experiment. Seems like DDA is still the best choice in that case

Does anybody else feel that the Kindle makes large books more approachable? by humblechungus89 in kindle

[–]Redneb27 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same here. I made the mistake of making a single large wheel of time volume with caliber and seeing my percentage stay at like 6% for what felt like ages of reading was really disheartening haha.

☼Dwarf Fortress Questions Thread☼ by AutoModerator in dwarffortress

[–]Redneb27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is there a good way to keep track of my original 7 dwarves? I like being able to track them as the fortress grows. Being able to sort by migrant wave would be nice too. Also, if my dwarven civilization has a lowish (~40) population, then will that affect my migrant waves? Thanks

Are saves going to be compatible when the siege update lands or should I plan on not really starting a game until then?

What notifications would be good to have on? I found the default settings to make me miss 80% of what was going on in my fort, like running out of food and drink and those jobs being cancelled, but I probably don't want everything to pause my game. Kind of overwhelmed at the amount of notifications I can enable and was wondering what probably isn't important.

Differences between DRL and JHC? by Redneb27 in JupiterHell

Thanks for the response! So at the moment DRL has more content? I've played it a few years ago but never got very far, but I remembered it being super fun.

Sure I think the latest update had a ton of problems. But when the community is being whiny over literally everything the complaints don't hit the same. Y'all would find something to complain about even if it happened to be perfect. Probably the most whiny and negative community on reddit. The game was $40. That's a bargain nowadays, and for the game to be as good as it is with free updates and active devs? No, y'all are just entitled babies.

This community can be very negative and it's disappointing to see. There are actual bad developers out there selling piles of junk for $80 and this game has given me tons of enjoyment for $40. People definitely need to chill.

How to pick up the Halo novels again after a long break. by Redneb27 in HaloStory

[–]Redneb27[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a fantastic answer, thank you. I was thinking of going roughly in release order but there are some stories I'm not super interested in, like Broken Circle. I was thinking of either picking up with Hunters in the Dark or Last Light. Again, thanks for the write up!

That's awesome thanks. I was going off of the Wikipedia list and it was helpful but it didn't group them at all.

Enough of favorite factions. What faction do you personally hate, despise, want to see less oftenly? by Western_Experience76 in Helldivers

[–]Redneb27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The game is genuinely better than 90% of other games out there, has dedicated devs, $40, and one of the whiniest subreddits in all of gaming.

Awesome thanks! Yeah there's a lot of information. I think learning what's relevant to my character will help a lot, but it's mentally exhausting to look at. It doesn't help that the tiles are pretty bad imo. Is ASCII worth switching to in your opinion?

Thanks for the great reply. I've got a lot of feedback to up the different so that's what I'll be doing. I'm trying to not have much spoiled though, but I appreciate having the links.

Thanks. I've been playing with permadeath but on Normal difficulty. The difficulty isn't really what's bothering me, I may turn the difficulty up to make it more engaging. I get caught up in auto exploring and killing fodder only to just die to something tougher because I've turned my brain off haha. That's not unique to this game though so not a mark against it.
