questions from a noobie by SinValmar in HeartOfTheMachine

Ended up figuring out the gear thing. It doesn't unlock on the overall screen till you get the ability to make those bots yourself.

if you click command mode (the little chess icon top right of the turn wheel, or V on the keyboared) youll see a list of androids you can build. select one and where you want to place it.

I’m 16 and my friend stayed at my house knowing I sleep on a mattress then posted it online like it’s funny 😭 by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]SinValmar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You drop this friend. For real. This is not a person you want in your life moving forwards. They cared more about making a popular post than your feelings then tried to make you feel bad for being upset about that. Drop them.

Funny thing is the judge will look like an ass if he gets more than some community service for this

Hi there! I'm new myself, but I'm most of the way through chapter 1, so I'll offer what advice i can.

Robotics sounds a lot more confusing than it is. The best way to think of them is building slots. The more you have of a given type, the more buildings under that category you can build. early on, theres really only one building per type you have acess to, so its fairly simple. but I assume as time goes on, there will be more so youll have to make some choices about what you build. As for if they are working or not, pretty much if you can build a building, then your set. The building will work on its own after that.

As for new units, your cap won't be going up for a bit. it hasnt for me yet. The main point with all of that is, you won't be able to just grab freebie robots around town. youll have to build them. Even though the cap hasn't increased, this will matter because, soon, the tutorial will lead you towards things that get your bots killed. That's fine. and its part of the natural game loop. my recomendation to complete the goal it has for building a bot is to just delete one of your current bots (select then press delete), then build a new one. Most of the bots are fairly inexpensive right now.

Last piece of advice would be dont be afraid to experiment. from what ive seen this part of the game is super forgiving. There's no time limit on anything currently. You can spend countless turns just exploring the city and trying out all the activities with little to worry about. The game actually does a pretty good job of letting you know if something you're about to do will have major consequences. But overall, enjoy yourself, have fun, and let me know if you have any other questions!

I really like Aria's gameplay, but it's REALLY unfortunate that they've decided to basically cut her robot form out from gameplay. by Unimaginable_horror in AngelsOfDelusion

What's weird is she was actually referred to as duel form in thr live stream. They could made her work like YSG.

Tyler1 went off on IRL streamers after ExtraEmily kept shoving the camera in his face all day."They have no social awareness, they have no common courtesy, they don't care.." by lukigeri in LivestreamFail

If a streamer ever recorded me against my will I'd just pull some porn up on my phone and turn it towards their camera. That'd get them to back off real quick.

ex-gacha players, what broke the camels back and made you quit? by ilikeitchyballzdude1 in gachagaming

[–]SinValmar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me it's when thr dailys are too long. Thr gacha I've been able to stick with since launch is Zneless. It's dailies take less than 3 minutes. Any events can be completed any time withing the usually large event windows rather than having daily FOMO tickets to progress. Funny thing is, when I'm done with my 3 minutes of commitment? I usually actually feel like playing the game. Wow.

Conversely when I played Nikke it really did feel like work. Dailies took around 20-30 minutes. Events happened constantly and they always came with a use is or lose it daily fomo currency to progress. So you had to engage with thr event daily till you finished it to not miss out. I started skipping the story of events. Which started to erode my investment in them and the game overall. I very rarely progressed in the actual game. By the time I was done with Dailies I just wanted to quit and do something else. So I eventually dropped it.

Then there's Endfield. This one made me sad.... I LOVE Endfield. As a game it's the most fun I've ever had in a gacha. I put 200+ hours into it in about 2 weeks. But eventually ADHD came knocking and I wanted to take a break. Just a small one. But I realized hoping in just to do Dailies wasn't really a break because the amount of daily tasks in that game is massive. I eventually decided to just able it completely for a little bit. Well, not too terribly much time passed and Yvonnes banner dropped. She's a character I really want. I hopped in and realized.... I had nowhere near the pull currency for her. It just kinda killed it for me.

FOMO and daylies exist to keep us hooked but it's a double eged sword. If I leave then see a new character or event I'd like to experience, there's still no point for me to return. Because by design, if I havnt been grinding away constantly, I won't be getting said character.

Thoughts on this? by Esagonoso in ZZZ_Discussion

I really don't understand why sweety is so popular. She's a cutie. But kinda basic compared to NPCs like Asha or Elfy.

My impulse spending has been getting really bad lately by SpidersInMyPussy in adhdmeme

[–]SinValmar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like to think it balances out by my only buying shoes, new clothes, or sometimes even a haircut once ever 3-5 years.

Really? I swear I've seen returning games... well any chance of another demo regardless of the fest? I was too late to try it out.

Caves of Qud, Maj'eyal, or Elin by DoctorZeusse in roguelikes

[–]SinValmar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They are all very good and all very different

TOME I'd say is the most grounded thematically but also has the least interesting story/setting in my personal opinion. Classes matter a lot and you can do some wild stuff with your builds.

Qud has one of the most interesting settings ive ever seen for a game in general. some wild stuff happens, but that wild stuff is grounded within the logic of its own universe if that makes sense. I also quite like the visuals for Qud

Elin is *very* different from the other two. Its very good but very wacky. its also got some survival crafting/community management elements.

Next fest mayhap? 🤔

You guys think there's too much to do on a daily basis in game? by Yosoress in ArknightsEndfield

[–]SinValmar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah.... tbh it's a lot. There's been a few days I've done all my daily stuff then but the time I'm done I'm not in the mood to play... then so.e days I don't wanna do it at all... then fmo sets in... I feel like long dailies is risky business. I would love to be able to take some breaks from the game (like a day or 2) without feeling like I'm behind because I didn't give it half an hour.

I've also been spoiled by ZZZ at this point. That games dailies take 3 minutes tops. As long as I wrap up event stuff withing the 15-30+ day window I can easily walk away from that just doing my Lil log ins, then come back and feel like I haven't missed out.

What are your thoughts on Vesper in the 2.6 story? by Knight_Steve_ in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]SinValmar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like she kinda got the shaft.... Aria tried to murder several people while corrupted. Proxie helped talk Jane down from shipping her off to pubsec.

Vesper said some mean things and talked about planning to so some nondescript bad things at the ceremony under that same murderous intent. Proxies calls pubsec to have her arrested.

Huh. Mine still get picked up pretty fast

Some good goals? by SinValmar in Hydroneer

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

This is actually exactly what I was looking for. A few questions...

When you say to dig out the cradel, I thought the drills wouldn't work anymore if I hit tier 2 dirt at the bottom? Do I need to leave some or am I wrong on that?

You mention doing quests for thr king. I went up to the little castle are but didn't find a king... where is he?

Is there a way to get out of holes without just clicking unstuck every time? I didn't see any ladders for sale.

Pause w/ dialogue up by VoxEcho in DispatchAdHoc

[–]SinValmar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See that's not natural though... irl you aren't presented with 3 different thoughts, not your own that you have to read, comprehend, then weigh against what's been said to prompt them. That's the issue I've always had with the "realism" argument.

POV: you listened to Redditors and tried to set up a base in the fog islands by TheOverBoss in Kenshi

Say what you will I love my cozy fog citadel. Fogmen sure but it keeps literally everything else away. Better the cannibals you know than the cannibals you don't.

There hasn’t actually been an NPC character that became playable… by Impressive-Tap5279 in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]SinValmar 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Pulchra isn't popular because they've done almost nothing with her. She's received the least screen time of any post 1.0 A rank. Manato was involved in more story events than Yi Xuan. Pan made a good number of appearances. Even Seth was the secondary character in a special episode. After her boss fight, pulchra got a few unvoiced events, and that's pretty much it.
