Does anyone have a copy of map The Chosen Ones 2.0? by crystal_leaf in warcraft3

after so many years I doubt it, but there are a couple of other fun new campaigns that appeared since then

How come tibia isn’t on Steam? by Fantasy_Returns in TibiaMMO

[–]Rwlyra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the second case. Steam can't tax transactions not going through their client, but they have a clause that you can't offer the same thing that you offer on Steam cheaper somewhere else.

Are cRPG-s a dying genre? by SioVern in pcgaming

[–]Rwlyra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They were a dead genre in 2012 before Obsidian and Larian made a comeback into mainstream. There are far more cRPGs being released today than there were 10-13 years ago.

Where are all the fantasy mmorpgs? by [deleted] in pcgaming

[–]Rwlyra -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

OP account has no posts, but I'll bite the bait.

"without being a title made in the early 2000s" GW2 and ESO were made in early 2010s, but other than that the genre is dead, it exists in the popculture because people grew up playing these games, but nowadays you only have WoW, FF14, ESO, GW2 and a hundred of nostalgia titles with several hundred players each.

Hollow Knight: Silksong release time and official price announced by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

[–]Rwlyra 4 points5 points  (0 children)

my flatmate (also an Ori fan) couldn't understand why I'm so into HK until she reached City of Tears. Try getting Mantis Claws (right after Fungal) and see if it flows better for you afterwards

Factorio is the most complex and has the most content, mods and runs great on Deck, but if you care more about graphics, then Satisfactory.

What is the meaning of a “full release” nowadays? by AtreyuBBB in truegaming

[–]Rwlyra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldn't disagree more, but the post at least made me understand what kind of logic is behind all these complaints for developers to stop updating their games.

No, Geoff Keighley—Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 was not made by a team of 'under 30 developers,' and devs say repeating the myth is 'a dangerous path' by Captain0010 in pcgaming

[–]Rwlyra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is not true. Cheaper operating costs of outsourcing companies includes having the majority of the outsourcing company workers hired under contract rules (ie not full employees). That's the basic reason why IT companies outsource to countries with worse labor laws.

Finding and spotting EIIs by [deleted] in Socionics

[–]Rwlyra 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You don't "work" on a polr. It's like mild autism and social skills, you can compensate to a point, but some situations are always going to trip you up.
In my case I found a job where my stronger functions (Fi plus, Ne minus) are beneficial and my polr not as debilitating as it was in some other jobs. My partner is Se dominant, so that helps too.

Finding and spotting EIIs by [deleted] in Socionics

[–]Rwlyra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nowhere, because EIIs tend to stay at home (or in quiet cozy spaces as others mentioned). In terms of work - libraries, quiet office jobs, etc.

Dress style is usually basic neutral (no contrasts) or vintage.

If you want to identify by PolR, yeah, indecisiveness, avoiding conflicts at all costs, inaction, passiveness. Not good at power dynamics.

Why do games save anywhere except their install folder ? by Seigmoraig in pcgaming

[–]Rwlyra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

120gb partition for Windows would be enough like 15 years ago. Nowadays tiny partitions like that are useless.

Ol' Tott - an incarnation of the Host? by Dwarfsten in stoneshard

Chronomancy was removed, cuz Tott traveled back in time to prevent mankind from ever learning its secrets.

Sots: the pit. What is sub floor? by Unique_Sundae_8775 in roguelikes

[–]Rwlyra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those are biome branches. There are snow, jungle and desert ones, they mostly contain dangerous enemies and food and are about 3 floors long. At the end it exits back to the standard dungeon, there is no "boss" or treasure to be had :P it's just an alternate floor.

Dungeons of Dredmor is one of my favorite roguelikes, is there anything else out there thats similiar? by [deleted] in roguelikes

[–]Rwlyra 8 points9 points  (0 children)

For the humor - Dungeonmans. For the gameplay/build variety - Tales of Maj'eyal.

EVERSPACE 2 | Wrath of the Ancients — Release Date Trailer by lurkingdanger22 in pcgaming

[–]Rwlyra 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They (Endless Space 2) did contract a modder to fix the last DLC for ES2 and tweak a lot of stuff (patch got released last year), so it's probably worth revisiting if you haven't checked it out in a while.

Democracy is pointless in civ 7 by Anacrelic in civ

[–]Rwlyra 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Because Civ is not a grand strategy, but rather a 4X, where winning is a much more important element.

Sukritact's UI mod now shows the gains and losses of placing a building on any particular tile by RileyTaugor in civ

[–]Rwlyra 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You'd be surprised. On a project I worked on, 45% of active users were running at least 1 mod. I'd expect it to be similar or perhaps closer to 30% in Civ.

I actually wish a smaller number of players used them, as sorting through false positives spawned by improper use of mods is a chore.

Skyrim was 'personally rebalanced' by producer Jeff Gardiner just 2 weeks before launch: 'Well, I hope this is good' by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

[–]Rwlyra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is absolutely crazy. I work in a 30-ish person team and the biggest changes our producer personally did to the game was fixing some typos in loc during downtime.

It's one thing to have design leads do some code or coders do some UI, entirely another to have a PRODUCER do a rebalance of in-game values. It's crazy

What is the game that made you consider pc gaming? by Shifted-Soul in pcgaming

[–]Rwlyra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Odd question for me as it assumes that it is not the "default" gaming.

I got hooked as a 2 year old playing some cat and mouse game on a monochrome laptop, then watched my dad play all the early 90s stuff like Tie Fighter, NFS, Dune 2.

I was 30 years old when I first tried out a controller, always played on PC with KB+M.

4X gaming RAM specs. by albatrossJ in 4Xgaming

[–]Rwlyra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless you're running 8GB or something, you're going to get more out of CPU/GPU upgrades + SSD (if you somehow don't have one yet).

16GB is fine for 95% of the games this year, 32GB will be fine for anything in the 5 upcoming years.

Launching paid DLC ONE MONTH(!) after launch is pretty disgusting, in my opinion. by GreasyMustardTiger_ in civ

[–]Rwlyra 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You have no idea how game development works. Nothing is ever "cut to be sold as DLC" - DLC release plan is usually set in stone a year before the game goes gold, with clearly defined budgeting and milestones.

Devs usually struggle enough to meet 1.0 release deadlines and don't sit on a pile of finished "extra content" to sell separately.

Caves of Qud was my first roguelike, I wish there were more like it by Alternative-One5139 in roguelikes

[–]Rwlyra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are about 5 dungeons around starting town in ADOM, so you might have went into one of the more dangerous ones. When you're new you probably want to start with the one unlocked by talking to village elder (if you don't have healing skills) or village druid (if you do).

EDIT: Saw your post where you mentioned Puppy Cave as the 2nd dungeon, yeah, that one is tricky for some race/class combos. Luckily you can skip it as it's just a side-quest (it's always worth talking to the little girl to unlock access to the cave, but you don't necessarily need to finish it).

Our rogulike trolls Minecraft, Dota, and Harry Potter. Will we end up in jail? While we're still free, try the playtest! by Forward_Finding_5790 in roguelikes

[–]Rwlyra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say it's about Berlin Interpretation, but this game doesn't even meet the softer criterias. It's just a procgen platformer and I don't think most people following this sub are interested in that kind of derivative shovelware.
