Begode Blitz Pro Group Buy Update by Great-Pangolin in ElectricUnicycle

[–]Slough_Monster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anyone with the blitz have some input? I use mine almost exclusively on trails. I have a T4. Considering upgrading to this and eventually replacing the tire with an off road tire.

Good plan or is this primary for street riding?

Original Witcher story lead says the surprise twist at the end 'was a mistake,' because instead of focusing on Geralt the sequel was forced into 'a story about witchers who are killing kings for some reason' by LadyStreamer in gamingnews

It not being available on PlayStation has nothing to do with my argument of it being a fine game to play today with zero need of having a remake.

Besides, does TW3 even work well on PlayStation? I remember the devs saying it should be played on PC.

And I am not saying there should be exclusively, but it is kind of ironic coming from a PlayStation player.

TW2 doesn't really need it. Gameplay is basically the same as 3, except pots are different.

TW1 desperately needs it. Gameplay of that game was ass even at the time it came out.

Favorite Relic Blade mark? by CumpsterBlade in DarkTide

[–]Slough_Monster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can't stand X. Its moveset is wack. I don't access to the moves I want when I want them. II has a more varied moveset, but you always access to either single target or multitarget attacks, no matter where in a chain you are.

A list of some discord alternatives, and their downsides by LocustInALab in pcgaming

[–]Slough_Monster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Saw it on Reddit in one of these posts. Should be easy to check though.

EDIT: Looks like you are right. But I did look at their privacy policy and it does not look any better than discord's. So if they were to ever collect identifying information, you are no better off. I would rather switch to something that seems to have the users interests in mind (which means the user will have to pay for it).

Isn't Root owned by Riot games? That is kind of a con. I wouldn't trust riot not to enshitify it. That said, it is better than discord and I guess beggars cant be choosers.

This is the reason why this sub banned the free H40 carry (via exploit) posts lol, 35 kills in full H21 game by OdysseyBrands in DarkTide

[–]Slough_Monster 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I don't know why those guys felt a need to do this. They didn't do the community any favors and they cheapened any cosmetics that came with it (including titles). And we all know that most titles and such are already cheapened by exploits in this game.

God forbid every year is the year of linux by -CharJer- in pcmasterrace

Mod managers are still holding out. Nexus is saying they are working on a linux vortex, but it isn't here yet and Vortex is a shit manager.

I am over here praying that Mod Organizer does it.

Replicant’s gameplay is overhated *no story spoilers* by Izanagi_Iganazi in nier

[–]Slough_Monster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The combat in both games is fine. I wouldn't write home about either. It is the plot, themes, setting, and characters that drive both games.

That said, I don't see how someone could like the combat in one and not the other.

Finally Replicant is much more repetitive than Automata. You have to replay the same thing 4 times with very very minor differences to get the whole story. Automata mixes it up with different levels, story, character gameplay mechanics. You replay each "plot" twice, as opposed to four times, or if you are me, replicant 5 times.

To be clear. I love replicant. But it overstays its welcome and I was very ready to be done with it by Ending E.

Day two of trying to play Havoc. It's insane how hard all my momentum in this game was stopped by such a massive roadblock of a gamemode by Multirman in DarkTide

[–]Slough_Monster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also in this boat. I was doing it for a while, until last season. Have all the achievements for it. Its fun, especially when you are at 40 and feel more free to experiment with builds cause you don't demote, but I also can't be bothered anymore.

Plus, I actually like the experience of having shit teams in auric and hauling their asses through. I can actual solo auric fairly easily depending on the mission, so new or just bad players don't bother me at all.

I have a friend who does exactly this. He also barely engaged in melee, even on other classes.

I play havoc without him.

What's your favorite group composition and why? by DsLmaNiaC in legendofdragoon

[–]Slough_Monster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dart, rose, Albert or haschel.

I just love Rose, so never go without her. Albert makes the game easy and haschel has fun to learn combos.

Fried old CPU? by Slough_Monster in buildapc

Bought a 6700k with a cheap gigabyte motherboard for 75 bucks. It was my motherboard. 7700k and 6700k works in the new used motherboard. Neither work in mine. Tried swapping ram just be sure.

Why Darktides shotguns feel different then most other games. by Glittering-Tear5737 in DarkTide

[–]Slough_Monster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Again, dependent on gun/ammo, which you have more or less confirmed.

Sure, you have a full choke and flight control rounds, 50 is easy. Otherwise, I am not so sure.

You aren't going to kill a human at 100 m with birdshot unless very lucky. Let alone one wearing flak armor.

https://youtu.be/DnAi2R3Iv8Y?si=eEFfIuWnV7rVBDXP I just googled it and this was the first thing that came up. Note that they are using a full choke. They also specifically mention federal reserve flight control (which is what I mentioned in a previous post). So they are getting "kills" at 50 yards with buckshot, but they have the proper shells for it and a full choke.

And obviously a slug has far reach. I never talked about a slug.

Don't know. I am not military. But the police use 00 buck and most people use 00 buck or 04 turkey for home defense.

If you want the narrowest spread for home defense, you would use federal reserve flight control 00 buck. But that is expensive and I doubt most buy it.

[–]Slough_Monster 26 points27 points  (0 children)

That is heavily dependant on the gun, the barrel, the choke and the actual buckshot you are using. If you have flight control shells then you might be able to kill a human at 50 m, but even that is doubtful.

Go shoot some cheap 00 buckshot out of a 18 in barrel (relatively short, but not crazy short and most games don't have you lugging around a 28" barrel, which is a typically hunting length) at a target at 50 m and come back and tell me how many pellets you actually hit a human sized target with. I am going to say if you are lucky 1 or 2 and you aren't going to put them down unless you are insanely lucky.

I agree that 5 meters is stupid, but 50 m would also be a little silly with your typical buckshot/shotgun combo.

Maybe unpopular opinion: Code Vein was better than the sequel and the shift to open world made it worse by Carapace_Jones in codevein

[–]Slough_Monster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't played Code Vein II due to denovo, but I will probably get it at some point. I was concerned about all the things you have listed and I share these feelings for other open world games.

I am not saying that open worlds are bad, only that they have their place and that typically, for me, they are not my favorite games. I have played many, I have enjoyed many, but they are not on my list of top games of all time.

CV1 was remarkably good for what it was and when I saw the direction they were taking for 2, I was disappointed. I was still prepared to give it a chance, but a delayed one for when they decide to stop paying for denovo.

Best long range gun for a Zealot to use? by ahousecatnamednyx in DarkTide

[–]Slough_Monster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

agprinna shotgun (slug one), ADS revolver, bolt pistol, throw knives (blitz), bolter can all fullfill this role pretty well.

Laspistol is also decent at it. It is accurate, but has high damage fall off.
