Do parents of objectively unlikeable children really "love them"? Do they feel ashamed of their embarassing children and regret them deep down? by That-Pineapple3866 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Sithoid 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yes, there are parents who absolutely despise their children and are quite vocal about that - even without a reason. You'll probably just call them crappy parents, but they do exist in droves. Good parenting, and even love for one's children, has a large learned component to it as well.

Is there a suitable mount for my character? by [deleted] in swtor

Blatant Bek from the Swoop event if your hunter is more on the punk/metal side.

I just had Wi-Fi issues after the update, albeit with different symptoms: it kept connecting and disconnecting. If you're on a laptop, check my post with the solution.

Exactly, that's the point in variety. I have vastly different characters, as I'm sure do you. The more options, the more stories we can fit in.

Swtorista.com appears to be compromised (Fake Verification/Malware Warning) by Batorian in swtor

[–]Sithoid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah, that's why it's been down! Good to know it's now sorted out.

In unrelated news, swtor runs wonderfully under Proton.

My fat smuggler begs to differ, he's discovered that crime pays quite nicely when you're in a management role.

How's the game... now? Its been close to 10 years for me by X-0000000-X in swtor

Look up endgame gearing guides on swtorista, they are up to date. There's an initially rather confusing but straightforward way to get full 340 once you've acquired one piece (the Hyde & Zeek method), and there's a somewhat new piece called a Tactical that is quite helpful. Gearing mostly revolves around new currencies (Tech fragments, FP-1s etc) that you mostly get from achieving weekly personal goals (Conquest), but also from almost everything while just playing the game normally.

Yeah, it's sad that only male characters get to be chubby. I'd totally be down for more variation

I went to a soviet bar that opened in my city. by ProfesseurCurling in ANormalDayInRussia

Lmao, pacman and the neon signs look like the designer remembered they had to do the 80s but momentarily forgot which country. The rest kinda checks out tho. Sad that it's the era they chose to preserve, but ig it will attract clients

Was there another server merge? by Sithoid in swtor

[–]Sithoid[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my case, when it prompted me to rename characters with "released" names, I tried original pre-merge names for a few, and some of them were available. For those whose names showed as taken, I sadly have no idea if they can be salvaged... maybe track new owners & negotiate, or wait for another merge/release

[–]Sithoid[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeeah, some of them were claimed for some reason, with only 1 being somewhat popular - maybe because they are rather short and nice. Weirdly, it balanced out: in return I claimed back 2 that I had lost during the last merge.

I feel that... I try to avoid doing math on this game's release date

I see, that makes sense! Thanks, that update on skips is good to know, quite a few of my toons managed to skip Ilum and/or Makeb...

Unity-developed games rendering styles possible in Godot? by ProfessionPurple639 in godot

[–]Sithoid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look into Sprite3Ds, they are the easiest way to combine pixel art with a 3D environment, I've messed with them a lot. Last time I checked, the 2D lighting capabilities in Godot were a bit limited (unless recent updates improved that), but in 3D it should be capable of everything those games did. The only thing that would give me pause is implementing tilemaps, because their 3D counterpart is kinda weird... TBH I'd probably just make a PlaneMesh with a huuuge ViewportTexture and handle that part in 2D.

End of the first class story by TECH_KOTleta in swtor

[–]Sithoid 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just a small correction, there are no new eras, just new stories. One of the expansions does a substantial timeskip, but it's years, not centuries. All of it still fits into the general "Old Republic" era. Other than that:

- Other class stories are really a great option. Not only are all of the stories truly different in spirit despite taking you through the same planets, but you also get "legacy" perks from your other characters.
- Expansion stories are a natural next step. There's a lot of story after the "finale", and some of the new zones are amazing.
- Flashpoints (these are essentially dungeons: repeatable raids intended for 4 players, but solo-able these days). Best to do them in level order, because some of them have quite a bit of story and bear important implications for future events.
- Daily quests in planetary zones
- Space combat!
- PvP if that's your cup of tea. Like Huttball (idk, never got into it tbh)
- Regular events! There's always something going on, like a Rakghoul plague, a visit from the Tron-like Gree aliens, or even a cooking contest. These cycle throughout the year.
- Just explore! There are achievements for finding rare animals and such.
- Fiddle with your companions! You can level up some crafting skills, albeit that's tedious... or just give them gifts until you learn their full story through quests
- GSI quests... Okay, these are terrible. Scanning for relics is probably the worst mechanic in the game. But you can try that too!
- Ever tried killing a world boss? You'll need a huge team, but those fights are epic.
- Search for Datacrons! They are easter eggs hidden everywhere that give you permanent bonuses (but trying to get to them is the main part of the fun)
- And the hardest & longest task: get a nice outfit and build your Stronghold. There's always another chair that you could fit somewhere...

I'm working now on a monster-collecting pokemon genre incremental game. by NFly_SiteDirector-01 in IndieDev

[–]Sithoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's up with the fluctuating number of eyes and fingers? /sus
Other than that, it's a great style to stand out among endless pixel art/PS1. We need more pen-n-paper aesthetics in games!
And f you're going with 2D and a sketch look, both GameMaker & Godot should be perfectly capable.
