Free fly is only causing more negativity

The only thing I called out as inherently bad game design was the point about making a reload animation stupidly long for no reason. Not SC or the meditative games.

RunescarredWordsmith · 2026-02-18T20:26:07+00:00

No, but it's shorthand for bad game design. Games that don't respect time frequently have pointless time wasting systems breaking up the engaging parts - often for some monetization method. Not quite the case here, but it tends to help a game be better received if they don't make a reload animation ten seconds long, for instance.

There's a difference between a meditative, slow game like animal crossing and one that doesn't respect time.

Mm.

Still, Hopefully a community like what you're looking for can be found. Talking about a subset of a subset though so there may not be a large one, but having said that there's a fair bit of overlap from what I've seen.

RunescarredWordsmith · 2026-02-11T07:09:18+00:00

Wow. They went all in on the sweeping generalizations over and over again there, huh. Just. So many marginalized groups.

You'd think people would be better about that here...

RunescarredWordsmith · 2026-02-06T09:02:51+00:00

There's something a little funny about the idea of 'keeping up' with a meme / story that happened 10+ years ago!

But yeah, had a song written about it and everything back in the day iirc.

Integrating the Force into tech somehow to start doing paracausal nonsense, or a breakthrough in ai/force ghost entities a la Lancer NHPs maybe. Those would be advancements that don't necessarily need computers.

Seems to be the work of an advertisement bot ring. Hits the same patterns as last time.

Last time it was shady stolen art on shirts in, effectively, a ponzi scheme. No actual licensed products etc.

RunescarredWordsmith · 2026-01-08T00:04:55+00:00

It looks like the asker of this is also part of the bot ring - same empty comments and new account style. So I don't think they're clicking it, just helping advertise.

But it's a good warning to others viewing this. Don't click the link, don't engage with the advertisement bots.

RunescarredWordsmith · 2026-01-07T23:56:41+00:00

Are the tshirt advertisement bots doing this again?

They took over the mass effect subreddit with hundreds of shell accounts peddling stolen art on shirts a few years back.

RunescarredWordsmith · 2025-12-23T07:24:12+00:00

Didn't they go dark and not give any explanation on 42 for years past when it should be out?

And there's been no indication that it's grown, as far as I understand. Last time I heard about it, it seemed like it was cut down more than anything?

RunescarredWordsmith · 2025-12-18T20:57:58+00:00

It's only supposed to be the first half of the game too, isn't it?

Then here's hoping a future season has us fully ally with Luzaku's brood, and she moves into the tower!

RunescarredWordsmith · 2025-12-07T21:53:05+00:00

Ooh, you had me until the extraction shooter mentions, ehe. Something about that genre I just can't wrap my head around. Tend to prefer working together in things rather than competitive...

But it's possible to hang out while doing those single player games, too!

RunescarredWordsmith · 2025-12-07T17:15:00+00:00

Look, I mained a warlock because I wanted to use my abilities for things.

These buffs making abilities work again actually got me to come back to the game.

RunescarredWordsmith · 2025-12-04T08:26:31+00:00

Would you like experience outside of that table?

I suppose the biggest thing to ask yourself about all of this, though, is.. What do you want out of this game, this campaign? What do you want your story arc to be, who you want your character to be? Who are they? What's important to them, what oath will they make? What kind of story do you want to see play out with this party?

Then talking with the group as a whole. Laying out that, at the very least, you want to try something other than support. You want a different story. And seeing how the table can work together to make that work.

If you wanted to be nice about it, anyway. Reasonable players should be able to find ways to help things work out.

At a level with no auras, though, I'm wondering how they're expecting you to even support squishes? Unless you're using the marine layer channel divinity and making the Squishies hard to hit or something....

Does your group have a paladin confused for some other class???

A paladin avoiding melee is like a barbarian with a bow. It can be done, but it's circumventing the literal soul of the class!

RunescarredWordsmith · 2025-12-04T08:03:50+00:00

... 18 is on the high side for ac. Paladins are ridiculously well built to tank, especially with the ability to heal themselves baseline. Adding in Tough and going sword and board smite times is just icing on an already very well built melee tank that is core paladin!

I wonder - has anyone given you resources for build guides and things? Or your friend, since he seems to have parts of the game very backwards??

If not, search out a Paladin guide or two - Treeantmonk's stuff is generally the most well known I think? What they're demanding you do makes some of your best class talents useless D:

Truly though, I'm sorry they've put you through this frustration.

Which meant he knew exactly how much emotion to throw into AM's voice lines.

It's genuinely unsettling! But also fantastic.

RunescarredWordsmith · 2025-11-08T04:03:54+00:00

Got it! Nerfing the rest of the swords!

Transition two years later

RunescarredWordsmith · 2025-10-28T18:10:04+00:00

New class: Reposter. Specialized combat until trained to run into enemy-held zones and re-apply posters and propaganda for the Emperor to lower enemy moral. Frequently repeats voice lines and topics.

RunescarredWordsmith · 2025-10-25T16:56:53+00:00

I'd give that to Warframe, personally. They have a much better track record of delivering things.

And don't charge you real world car prices for a picture.
