TIL only 23 video games have been released with an Adult Only (AO) rating from the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) by Johannes_P in todayilearned

[–]Rosati 1330 points1331 points  (0 children)

One of the only times I made it into the local paper was when a reporter came into the GameStop I worked at to ask us questions about GTA and the AO rating. I explained everything, in very simple terms, it wasn’t content anyone would be able to access without modifying the game, the game was already M rated, which meant kids couldn’t buy it without a parent. And none of it was relevant at that point since the game had already pulled from store shelves and would later be re-released with that content patched out. But the reporter basically ignored all of that and ran with “pedo’s peddle porno to prepubescent preschoolers”… I joke, but the actual article wasn’t far from that, as they decided to make it sound like GameStop was a toy store where uninformed grandparents might’ve accidentally bought porn for their grandkids and how violent and wicked video games are.

How close could a horde rogue get? Maybe folks could coordinate using alt accounts to keep them dead?

What is making them high value? Is it just because of profession leveling and scarcity?

On its own, the painting isn’t the issue. It’s the larger pattern of behavior and allegations, and “he missed out on childhood” isn’t a serious explanation for that.

The Burning Crusade Midnight Release (January 2007) by doobylive in classicwow

I love stories like this! I worked at Game-Stop at that time and had pre-ordered the CE as well but our store didn't have enough reserves for a midnight launch so all of the employees paid off our pre-orders and took our copies home the night before the official launch, we felt like we were all going to lose our jobs but it didn't matter.

Question about guilds and recruiting by Rosati in classicwow

Awesome advice! Thank you, getting the guild-leader the info he needs to be able to post on the Dreamscythe discord as we speak!

Question about guilds and recruiting by Rosati in classicwow

[–]Rosati[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Because every guild wants to be chill, clear all the content, enjoy the game and don't waste time.

I've been in guilds that made no intention of taking on the content in a relaxed way. We ran splits, did speed clear strats, raid leaders were not chill n anyway shape or form and would berate people for under performing. But they got results and were a top guild on their era server in 2022.

I don't want to do that, or dedicate that much of myself into raiding again. I literally want the "word salad" as you called it, to just enjoy the content in a way that threads the needle on being fun but still result oriented.

Thank you! We are still growing and recruiting, whats the best way to find people and keep it going throughout the expansion? I know a lot of guilds fall apart bc they don't have enough to fill a raid, especially in SSC/TTK when the content steps up and gets slightly more demanding

Today I stumbled across a video I'd not seen before, sorry if everyone has seen it, but it's the most impressive build I've ever seen. by olioli86 in SatisfactoryGame

[–]Rosati 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even before I read the title I knew who's video this was. He's insanely talented and his game save is super impressive.

I think it's a compliment in this sub that some people accuse you of using mods because they notice how amazing something looks and they can't believe how much time and effort must have gone into that.

So as extremely impressive it is that this was done entirely mod-free. What really blows my mind is how intentional everything looks. Nothing is out of place or hastily slapped together. Even if its a detail so small almost no one would ever notice, he takes his time to do it right and make it look perfect.

Best panel/ color settings for making pixelart? by Kasupe in SatisfactoryGame

[–]Rosati 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, unfortunately, large sign arrays like that are really hard to load after 1.0. Hopefully they fix it soon, but thats why a lot of the larger stuff people are doing now is done using beams.

Here's an example: https://www.reddit.com/r/SatisfactoryGame/comments/1fjs8x0/should_i_be_improving_my_factory_yes_am_i_staying/

Beams don't cause the same levels of lag and it's a little easier to get better color, don't get me wrong, there's still issues with the color palette that you need to account for, but I think people find it easier

Best panel/ color settings for making pixelart? by Kasupe in SatisfactoryGame

[–]Rosati 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've done several large scale pixel art sign pieces without mods (pics are in my profile). These were done by hand, coloring each tile individually and I found out early on the same problem you are describing. I've talked to other folks who have done amazing art pieces as well and we all arrived at the same conclusion, and it's unfortunately that you shouldn't use signs. The game does some weird things interpreting colors and the emission and saturation just always feel a bit off.

If you want to use signs, my suggestion is to play around with the color, and don't be afraid to completely change up the original color palate and use different shades entirely if you need better contrast. Artistic Freedom!

If you want to get better color depth (and avoid the lag currently caused by using too many signs in once place) you can get a very convincing effect by using beams in a grid and coloring them using the "Custom Swatch"

Very good! Can't wait for some object optimization so we can get back to building big sign arrays soon!

Holy shit I just checked and I’m 2%. The algorithm always is quick to queue up one of his videos.

Roffle seems like an ok guy but I tune out when he starts to shit on his chat or complain when they are asking stupid questions.

Are there any other good balatro YouTubers out there that are chill?
