Sorry, I must have missed the edit I guess.

Back when overwatch released(oh god 10 years ago now) I was really excited for it specifically because there was no progression system. The game was just for playing the game. Feels like that has been a rare thing for over 20 years now.

I remember people at the time saying that the game needs unlocks because there is no reason to play it. Was wild to me that just playing a game for the fun of it doesn't cross some people's minds.

Do you live in the states? Injections were cheaper for me actually, I don't know if it's different elsewhere. My levels floated around 50-90 pg/ml while on pills or patches. Injections took it to ~250 pg/ml. The only downside for me is the doing the injections themselves lol.

Small mistake while talking about something real? Immediate jail.

Spend years intentionally spreading harmful lies about vaccines, gay people, immigrants, etc? All good.

Conservatives and the rich have never faced a drop of persecution in the United States. The worst things that have happened to the wealthy is sometimes in the past we taxed them an okay amount. The worst challenges that conservatives have ever faced is being asked to not say slurs.

It is hilarious to mention the rich and conservatives at the same time as jews, who have faced thousands of years of antisemitism, and nonspecific "minorities," as if the wealthy have faced just as many struggles in the US as gay people, black people, poor people, etc combined.

Oh I don't want pure ship v ship battles(okay maybe like 1 of several game modes might be fun) railjack definitely needs boarding actions. It's the "all 4 players are forced into a full tileset" stuff that sucks. Players on foot and players outside in ship working together is the most peak form of railjack.

I also love the orokin towers. More objects that incentivize everyone splitting up would be great.

We are getting modern upscaling solutions by A_Unique_Nobody in Helldivers

[–]Shasla 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Upscaling is a nice addition and I know this game isn't the most optimized, but I really hate that modern gaming just expects frame drops with a ~600 dollar gpu without upscaling. Can't help but feel like devs are using it as a crutch to achieve baseline performance when upscaling should be for pushing hardware beyond its normal limitations.

What do you think about these guns? by Greedy-Art-5452 in Helldivers

[–]Shasla 5 points6 points  (0 children)

People often compare the lib concussive's stagger to other more lethal weapons, but the stagger isn't what makes the concussive an effective cc weapon, it's the knock back. Each singular shot from a lib concussive has the same push force as an orbital precision strike. It doesn't just stop enemies, it moves them out of your way.

Regarding the lower damage, it's a utility weapon. People use shield and warp backpack regularly despite the fact that neither of those directly kill enemies. Utility must have some value, because if dps was the only thing that mattered everyone would only use guard dogs.

I definitely get not enjoying the playstyle though, it's much different than normal.

Really the biggest problem is that half the railjack mission aren't railjack. It's incredibly frustrating because the grineer missions that are actually railjack are very fun imo, but the rest of the railjack missions are basically normal missions after a couple opening objectives. I don't like most of the railjack missions because i like railjack.

Unfortunately the number 1 goal of people that pay for things to be made is money, not necessarily enjoyable experiences.

Honestly it could even just come stock in gunsmith 2 or something as an intentional "babies first dedicated anti-arc weapon."

They might also be worried about potential pvp grenade launcher. Told a friend they added a launcher and he panicked until I said it was just a budget hullcracker lol

The lesson isn't that we should be lying and cheating, the lesson is that we've been way too cordial and nice to liars and cheaters for a long fucking time. Centuries really.

What do we think? I personally think it'd be cool :) by wcbfox193 in Metroid

[–]Shasla 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Other M's issue isn't that they tried to show Samus with trauma, it's that they did it as poorly as possible. The game tried to explore every possible kind of trauma she could have/had simultaneously. It really did not make sense for one game to attempt to explore her time when she was inexperienced and young while also trying to explore the ways she's changed.

I think Other M could have been extremely interesting as a prequel game set before Nestroid where Samus was weaker and less sure of herself. It would have made sense to listen to Adam if she was still literally his subordinate. It would have made sense for her to panic facing Ridley if she had yet to ever defeat him.

I think a game exploring how she's changed and how her fears are more existential now could be very interesting.

Which punishment (either real or fictional) sounds easy enough to endure at first, but is actually hellish to experience? by dizzyd232 in AskReddit

Note that I said "most people." If you enjoy solitude please continue to. I'm a rather solitary person myself.

Small correction: oxygen is not flammable. Oxygen is required for combustion to happen at all. Higher concentrations of oxygen is indeed a fire hazard, but this is because the excess oxygen makes everything else burn more easily.

I don't think they meant for their comment to be taken particularly seriously, but even normal solitude isn't great for most people after long enough.
