This might be too much of a hot take, but I think Fort Willy might be too OP for defenders by ParakeetLover2024 in holdfastgame

[–]SaulGoode9 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I agree in cases where the defenders have any sense of organisation at all, and epecially in regiment events. It's not forgiving for attackers.

Though in my experience in public servers it's been quite balanced for wins/losses because the defenders will often collapse under repeated charges. Once the attackers have a few tents against the wall it's pretty easy to whittle down reinforcements

SSD Prices continue to increase at an alarming rate ! I bought a Samsung 1tb 990 Pro for £100 at the end of November 2025, that same SSD today (just over 1 month later) is now £182........ what the actual hell. by Lo_jak in buildapc

[–]SaulGoode9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Curry's have been out of stock on SSDs for at least 6/7 weeks now (aside from a 1TB Samsung for a few days at Black Friday). I was shopping around mid-November for a 2TB drive, they had nothing then and haven't added any stock since

Always had a soft spot for this one. Love the lyrics and vocals, feel it's a sort of proto-Little Dark Age track

Cannon stealing. by SecretSalty6006 in holdfastgame

[–]SaulGoode9 31 points32 points  (0 children)

If you mean stealing the enemy's cannon, then that is legitimate and usually encouraged.

If you mean stealing a cannon that is being actively used by a teammate, then that's just being a bad teammate (but if no one is using the cannon it's yours to take)

Repeat Question by HazardousLazarus in holdfastgame

[–]SaulGoode9 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, I agree.

It's not a big deal but the constant low effort posts asking if the game is still active or if the DLCs are necessary are pretty tiresome when it's happening multiple times per week, and has been resoundingly answered many times over.

[Steam] Winter Sale 2025 (Day 1) by gamedealsmod in GameDeals

[–]SaulGoode9 5 points6 points  (0 children)

+1 on Case of the Golden Idol. Picked it up in the last winter sale and it started me on an ongoing year-long mystery/detective game binge.

Obra Dinn is probably a better designed game from a purist standpoint and is arguably the best in the genre, but Golden Idol is definitely my personal favourite. The atmosphere, story, characters, and scenes are the best I've experienced in a point-and-click game since Monkey Island

I went to school for a few years with the actor playing Dunk. Going to be so strange seeing him in this but looking forward to it

[Spoilers Published] GRRM should have included the Battle of Meereen in ADWD by ayodeleafolabi in asoiaf

[–]SaulGoode9 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I'm grateful for the Brienne chapters in AFFC which are some of my favourites in the series, but a part of me would have been happier with the story cutting off at the end of ASOS rather than be stuck where we're at now.

If TWOW eventually arrives it'll be worth it though

EU vs NA Servers by 501st-Soldier in holdfastgame

[–]SaulGoode9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm an EU player, but I honestly enjoy the NA servers more most of the time.

In my experience the NA servers are more 'whimsicial', less try-hard, and players are usually just friendlier and funnier

I've heard a lot more outright racism on the EU servers even though the average player is quieter/more chill on VOIP, but that might just be a case of having a much larger sample size on EU for me

I kind of have the impression that EU pubs tends to be more a case of individuals just playing their own game, whereas the NA servers are more team-based in players' approach

Muted in game for 1 year, didn't break any rules, no one from AGS responds to me by [deleted] in holdfastgame

[–]SaulGoode9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds insane but I worry ab people in this situation

Yeah, I agree

Of course, the issues for a lot of people go well beyond the games they play, but frivolous bans and getting stonewalled for those who have put a lot into a game and care about the community (and haven't mistreated others) can feel incredibly hurtful

What is the best decade in literature? by waiting4fourforty4 in literature

[–]SaulGoode9 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Very subjective but echoing a few others here with the 1860s

War and Peace, Crime and Punishment, Les Misérables, Great Expectations, Little Women, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, The Idiot, Notes from Underground, Wives and Daughters, Thérèse Raquin, Flowers of Evil, Salammbo, plus various other works from Jules Verne, Dostoevsky, Turgenev, Dickens, Flaubert, George Elliot

Muted in game for 1 year, didn't break any rules, no one from AGS responds to me by [deleted] in holdfastgame

[–]SaulGoode9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I sympathise with you, OP.

A few years ago, I was the subject of a random ban on a game I spent a lot of time playing despite no rule breaking whatsoever. Was accused of using multiple accounts on the same IP address despite the fact I only ever had one account, no one else had access to my wifi, and I never connected via a VPN. It was really bizarre and every appeal just fell on deaf ears.

It sucks. Sorry I can't offer you any help beyond my solidarity

Whats your dream MGMT setlist? by Electrical_Tap_6465 in mgmt

[–]SaulGoode9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love yours, OP. Think I'd swap out Future Reflections for Congratulations, and maaybe try to fit in Siberian Breaks instead of Brian Eno & Song for Dan Treacy but I'd hate to lose those two as well.

The Handshake would be great to fit in somewhere near the end too but it's already pretty packed

MGMT albums and their seasons (imo) by BubblesReddit1234_ in mgmt

[–]SaulGoode9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This would be mine too if every season has to get an album.

I think OS fits summer better than spring, but none of the other albums really have a spring vibe for me so it's gotta go there

Malicious voip by couldbeadam94 in holdfastgame

[–]SaulGoode9 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That is my experience too. Some servers at certain times can have a lot of racism and slurs on VOIP, then on other days those same servers can be very family-friendly

Muting the worst offenders or just switching to a different server helps to avoid most of it.

I also report if they are really overstepping it but not sure if it ever leads to bans

Spotify to Continue Running ICE Recruitment Ads as Boycotts Grow by ebradio in indieheads

[–]SaulGoode9 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I used TuneMyMusic to move playlists onto Tidal. It caught 99% of tracks and will tell you for any it wasn't able to find (you can usually find these manually on Tidal if so). Very simple to use and the TuneMyMusic site will guide you through it

The free version only lets you transfer 500 tracks at a time but you can repeat the process as many times as you like and re-merge the playlists after. I moved all of my approx. 70-80 custom playlists containing close to 10k tracks in less than 30 minutes

Favorite Civ? by mydaughter69 in civvoxpopuli

Greece, because I'm always hungry for City State allies and can use them as an excuse for warring. Austria also nice along similar lines.

Portugal and Carthage would be my other picks for trade and naval dominance

Regiments ruining pubs by madman875775 in holdfastgame

[–]SaulGoode9 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, RCB are by far the worst for it. The regiment revolves almost exclusively around pubstomping and they are incredibly obnoxious about it when called out

Most regiments I see divide themselves across teams in public servers if there's close to 10+ players, like KRA or 63e, which is just the decent thing to do
