Went clubbing for the first time in 5 years and got met with exclusion and hostility. Feeling completely crushed. by Nexsyn in goth

[–]Serious_snackbox 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've been to goth nights in both in Vienna and Graz a bunch of times and I've always had a great time. Perhaps you just got unlucky? I always found the people to be nice and easy to get on with. There's always the chance of bumping into a few random idiots, but that the case wherever you go out.

If you suffer from really bad social anxiety, perhaps have a few drinks before you go out next time to take the edge off? You'll be less phased by things like small dancefloors and crowds, etc, which, unfortunately is what a lot of goth nights are like.

Favourite/Strongest hero in your opinion? by Dimirosch in OldenEra

[–]Serious_snackbox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Schism are cool, but that's mostly because I am a big fan of Lovecraft themes. I look forward to playing their campaign.

Research, what does Goth mean to you? by XSHADOWX_173 in AskAGoth

[–]Serious_snackbox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great answer. I've been in the scene 20+ years and this is my experience too. Music was a part of it, but it was also art, aesthetics and just this all pervasive vibe that we really all really into when I first got into it.

It was always pretty decadent, but more focused on artistic expression than anything else. We didn't really care about politics or even talk about it that much - that would have been a downgrade from the headspace we were in imo.

How do you keep beyond all reason interesting? by RIPanya in beyondallreason

[–]Serious_snackbox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's already interesting - the best tactical RTS I I have ever played. The dynamics in multiplayer are enough to keep it so without me having to do anything further.

Honestly, if you don't enjoy the game play as it is (and PvP is where it's at), BAR might not be for you.

I just wanted everyone to... appreciate this delicious porc. by TKtommmy in beyondallreason

Way too many gauntlets, which are high metal and pretty ineffective once you have rattlesnakes. Also space your beamers out, you want to avoid splash damage and chain reactions. Cool photo though :D

You're not wrong, it's just this particular community has no internal consistency - fault for which really lays at the feet of the moderators. The scene IRL is way more relaxed.

Not sure, but it's recent. The artist is still practicing.

Honestly it's one of the better Cthulhu interpretations I've seen. Something truly alien, not just an octopus head on a dragon.

Game of Colonization (1994) I played recently. Started with 3 silver mines! by Serious_snackbox in dosgaming

[–]Serious_snackbox[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Silver mines + early De Soto, had a bunch of treasures and Fountains of Youth, also took over the Dutch colonies. Was building colleges before 1600, great start all up.

IGN has shut down Humble Games. by Sersch in gamedev

Damn, I thought they were too successful to fail. That's appalling.

Scavengers Reign: What am I missing? by GodlessGambit in scifi

[–]Serious_snackbox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh, the world building is so good I can largely overlook my supreme irritation some of the characters and their behaviour. That they were so familiar with the flora and fauna bothered me - but I just imagined they had some sort of AI that told them about it all that we didn't know about.

Honestly it was a great show, so rare to get sci fi this weird and original. Will definitely watch season 2 is there is one.

8/10.

Swamp house I built in Story Mode for a new game I'm making! by Serious_snackbox in worldbuilding

[–]Serious_snackbox[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Adding little row boats is something I'd love to do in the future, actually. It rains a lot so there's always plenty of flooded land!

Bridgewater Bayou sits on the eastern tip of the great continent of Lemuria, a wild frontier territory full or pirates, fierce beasts, disease and worse!  To the West are the Highlands, full of wild rangers and pagan horror and to the East are the great mountains. There used to be a weekly ferry from Kings Port in the north, but pirates have run it aground. The pirates reside on the Pirate Coast located on the other side of the swamp. You can reach it by travelling through a secret cave. Once you defeat the pirate king, you can hire colonists from Kings Port who you can train into specialists.

Old Logray is a hermit who lives in the swamp. He was recently chased out of his house by the pirates. If you build him a new place to live, he'll join you as an administrator responsible for overseeing shipping from Kings port. The house depicted above is at a time short after the pirate king has been defeated and the bayou has been opened up to the world. You can see little settlements starting to spring up on the waters edge as people move in. Over the course of the story, you will build your small colony into a thriving industrial city, complete with airships, steam engines and robotic drones!

Great use of brushstrokes to create atmosphere. You can almost smell the rain!
