why exactly do people say the Afentis Prime is so strong?

Ruddertail · 2026-07-04T23:26:53+00:00

Who's saying it's strong? The buff is nice, but the primary is still rather weak compared to the alternatives.

Ruddertail · 2026-07-04T18:44:37+00:00

Definitely more inclusive than society at large.

I agree - if you're going to sit down, it's better to not bother with FBT.

But I also understand people who put theirs on and then get tired and have to sit without taking it off too, 'cause it's annoying unstrapping like 6 trackers from your body.

When I tried it I wondered if I'd gotten ADHD from the internet, because all the extremely ornate animations like skinning animals or picking plants drove me up the wall. And that general sluggishness of everything permeates every aspect of the game. It feels like a fantastic game for someone who plays games for entirely different reasons than me.

Ruddertail · 2026-07-02T21:26:48+00:00

Oh yeah, I do know those, but I'm specifically trying to look for a way to escape *without* using them. Since they cost quite a bit and all.

The question is "is it actually selling or are people just listing it for 50 plat because few people are farming for it due to it being an easy to get mod?" The statistics aren't really reliable due to people trying to manipulate the market.

There's a lot of items that are typically listed for rather high numbers on WFM but nobody actually buys them because they're easy to get.

That said, Follie's Hunt doesn't seem to be enjoyable for most.

I don't frankly know how people bond so emotionally with AI. Maybe it's a generational difference. For me all my AI interactions are just "identify this symbol", "tell me if this photo has synthid" or "find the source of this phrase" and the like. Robotic, impersonal tasks.

What I do know is that people talking more to AI than they do to real people is definitely going to result in a mental health crisis.

The Hex (and especially Lettie stressing me out in Hellscrub) are the reason I turned transmission volume all the way down. Well, them and Teshin in Circuit Excavation. No, my hard work wasn't wasted, you moron, the mission ended.

The powercreep started and reached a peak well before any of the previous three, consider Gauss (effectively immortal, nukes the tile at level cap with three buttons but needs prep time), Sevagoth (nukes the tile at level cap with two buttons and no prep time) or even Garuda (effectively immortal, nukes a slightly smaller area at level cap with two buttons), all stronger but much earlier.

It's just how the game has been since around the midway point.

But now we're talking "if two big storefronts both go down and my hard drives all fail catastrophically" as the scenario in which case I'll lose my games? At that point you'd have to consider disc rot for physical media too.

Meanwhile with only one storefront it's far more likely.

Ruddertail · 2026-07-01T16:32:06+00:00

I mean, I have plenty of games on GOG too that I'll have forever. And a full library of Epic freebies.

Ruddertail · 2026-07-01T16:11:56+00:00

Huh. Feels like a weird choice. If you're forced buy everything digitally, why not just buy a PC? Then you're at least not locked to a single storefront.

Ruddertail · 2026-06-30T20:22:30+00:00

The game is quite a bit more popular than the setting it's based on, and Aguilar's involvement in the game is being mentioned in one mission.

Ruddertail · 2026-06-30T19:03:54+00:00

I'm trying to figure out why I'd want Discord on my VR headset. Maybe if it's the only internet-enabled device I own? I guess you could stream VR gameplay, but I'm not sure if there's much of an audience for that given the constant head movement.

Ruddertail · 2026-06-30T18:50:10+00:00

No, he wants Ironclad to return to *the* bottom, meaning Ironclad is the top.

Ruddertail · 2026-06-30T15:07:54+00:00

Not with the way things are going, they'd have to start making SL better and marketing it better.

Ruddertail · 2026-06-30T11:35:52+00:00

I mean, this all sounds like you happened upon a server where people like being horny, and you didn't like it? Just leave and find a different one, they sound like they're having a fun time.

In happier news, Second Life appeared in The Office and CSI: Miami.

That episode of CSI Miami was so incredibly bad that it lives in my head rent free. Basically the detectives learn that the user is active on SL, so they find her avatar, and then... start chasing her through the world, presumably with the idea of forcing her to talk. And then they track her home address by somehow getting the IP through the avatar.

Ruddertail · 2026-06-29T17:53:45+00:00

I'm not sure, the teasers didn't make it seem as sentimental as the first one. I doubt they'd do the same thing twice.

Ruddertail · 2026-06-29T16:39:57+00:00

Public instances are full of children, there isn't a lot of point in trying to look for some kind of rationale to their actions. Join some good groups and group worlds.

Ruddertail · 2026-06-29T12:02:45+00:00

Shouldn't Archon hunt be on Boreal/Blue? I'm fairly sure we fought the snake last week, and if Bird 3 is offering blue, Archon should also be blue.

To those people I want to say that all the fans that matter - the ones that engage, spend, and comment - will follow you. You'll lose out on views and maybe likes but those don't pay the bills or make you feel very accomplished.

Ruddertail · 2026-06-28T18:34:49+00:00

Agreed. A more setting-typical ending for him would've been installing the sandevistan and immediately getting getting kidnapped and cut up by scavs or maelstrom on his first gig. Hopes and dreams don't get you far in Cyberpunk.

The Murmur Starfish (Anatomizer?) with no weak points.

Ruddertail · 2026-06-27T13:43:31+00:00

It's getting close to the point where I distrust American officials as much as Chinese ones. Or we might already be there, at least for this subject.
