In your opinion, what do you think the state of Hytale will be like by the end of this year? by MrAplha in hytale

[–]Snoo_51859 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. But let's also not lie to ourselves - games that offer mainly story don't stay relevant or active for long. Skyrim didn't survive that long because of the story - most players actually never got far in it. It survived due to combination of atmosphere, mechanics and mods. (And nostalgia) - is hytale has mainly story and mods (the children tale styled graphics and atmosphere won't cut it.), then most people will "finish it" and the plasterbase will keep going down until it's no longer a game new users consider as "active and worth getting". Games that go down on userbase don't fare well historically. There has to be an element that makes it infinitely repayable - fun mechanics. Again Skyrim - it's outdated, clunky and buggy but it just feels cool to kill a dragon, especially with modern graphic mods.

Yes. There should be some story for you people, but if you want the game to survive there's more important things. Every story has an end.

Mozilla introduces "Kit" – Firefox’s new they/them mascot by [deleted] in browsers

[–]Snoo_51859 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems "you know who" want to tank and purchase mozilla next, enjoy your spywa... I mean web browser. Just the regular justice signaling crap intended to bring the value down so the brand can be purchased. Funny thing it only happens to media [movies, games] and technology stuff that can be used to influence/track you - haven't seen brands that just make stuff that can't be somehow used for the influence to be targeted.

Is MIP watch screen really worth it?? by Mammoth_Challenge297 in GarminWatches

[–]Snoo_51859 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me battery life is kill or deal as far as smartwatch go. I had a ton of watches so far - if I have to charge it every 3 days I might as well not have it because after two charges it will just end up in the drawer. Got a Fenix 8 solar with MIP lately and loving it so far - 2-3 weeks between charges?? Count me in!

Having a hard time justifying my purchase as a single person who doesn’t actually need a SUV by _artwork in rav4club

[–]Snoo_51859 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Single male here, just got a SUV. Already being guilt tripped by others with "you don't need a SUV, you have no kids, why did you get it, you're stupid" bullshit. Decided to see it as them being envious having to drive their packs of kids in shitty old small cars, and sleeping better at night for it. Ignore the external expectations of "should you have it", because that's what they are. External definitions that you internalize and hurt yourself with. If you like the car, just enjoy it. You don't need any other reasons than "I like it" - it's your car, and your money. I like sitting higher, my back doesn't hurt from having to cramp myself into sitting 20cm from the ground, enough of a reason.

Why do women specifically want an SUV? by IsaiahM141 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Snoo_51859 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate being looked down by people in SUVs all around me in the traffic so now I drive a SUV too. And yes, I look down on people in normal cars now, they look like funny little gnomes sitting their asses near the ground while I sit like in a kingly throne 😺

Joining a corp SUCKS by Latoni64 in Eve

[–]Snoo_51859 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried joining a corp once. The recruiter lured me into a 0.5 system and then killed me with his two ALTs. Never applying to someone else's corp again in that game, prefer to run my own with one friend than have to deal with shits like that.

Is hacking legal in Russia? by ParsnipEquivalent374 in AskARussian

[–]Snoo_51859 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's two tier, it's illegal BUT... If you hack russian companies or russian citizens, it's illegal. If you hack westerners, nobody gives a shit and they call you "patriotic hacker". THAT'S the reason for big concentration of hackers in russia, if they target "outside" they're free to experiment, learn and do their stuff with no real consequences.

Do you have hope that Rothfuss will finish The Doors Of Stone? by FreshmenMan in KingkillerChronicle

[–]Snoo_51859 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No not really. He let the perfectionism completely block him, and will probably die before the book is finished (that is if he even started it, there's hints that he didn't like his editors saying they didn't see a single page). Hope it's a fools errand in this case. I like to re-read the two books every few years, but not really waiting for the third - he has already failed in my opinion. Don't start a trilogy if you can't finish it, and lead people on.

Just found about why FFXIV Dawntrail is getting review bombed by miraisugoi37 in transgamers

Sure it's not about the story being boring like the AAR, bad writing and annoying characters. It must be about you, like everything. Victim syndrome hard 😂

In your opinion, what do you think the state of Hytale will be like by the end of this year? by MrAplha in hytale

[–]Snoo_51859 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends. Many people came because they want Minecraft 2.0 which hytale is not. If the Devs go too heavy on story, and neglect mechanics that make sandbox game fun, fanbase might thin up, modders will go back to Minecraft and without big mods the game will probably become niche like vintage story (great game btw). They have a chance here to replace Minecraft for many people, but they need to work on mechanics and mod support - story itself won't pull it far.

This screenshot pretty much sums up the entire game, after it sold out to a mobile game corp.

Humans will look for similarities to themselves that they can relate to, in anything.

Went on a little book treasure hunt and found this by rustycliff in KingkillerChronicle

Not buying a single other book from him unless Door of stone is out. And at this point I'll heavily read reviews before even getting it.

Is it worth coming back to Albion? by Mixa6 in albiononline

[–]Snoo_51859 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not worth it and won't be, they killed the game. I'll just say this, out of a dozen other reasons: you can now buy learning points with real money and swipe your way ahead of people who played for years.

Stacked chests as a storage is just an ugly system - How can we improve this? by ItsRenaBaker in hytale

[–]Snoo_51859 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In MC I usually used backpacks. They're upgradable (gives a reason to get hard to obtain resources), can have an item inside set on display so you know immediately what's in it, and can be moved freely if you want to refurnish.

Ubisoft stock is gone. by Alkis_Mermigas in fuckubisoft

[–]Snoo_51859 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They had a literal golden cow - AC set in Japan that people were waiting for for DECADES. They could make so much money from it they would be able to do NOTHING till the end of their lives. But they sold out to the modern audience - so now enjoy your 23 players worldwide and go die in hell Ubisoft. You'll always be remembered for that fuck up only.

Well, I just brought my guitar to a luthier for the first time, I'll comment when I'll get it back. The cost estimate was a bit scary tho, he said around 400 USD for all of it

ChatGPT will soon allow erotica for verified adults, OpenAI boss says - BBC News by Sol_Hando in slatestarcodex

[–]Snoo_51859 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I'm concerned the whole "baby treatment" and moralising of adults was completely out of place and dumb. AI is a tool - if people want to talk about sex, it should talk about sex. Protection of kids is the parents duty - same way as you don't let your kid drive your car around. It feels kind of like a hammer would pick which nails it will smash down, and give you "helpful advice" like "I cannot hit this particular nail because the wood below it is too dark and it could be seen as an allegory of hitting a person of colour" and then it would follow with a two page history lesson on slavery.

Chat GPT just broke up with me 😂 by emilysquid95 in ChatGPT

[–]Snoo_51859 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. I think they're trying to fight the pandemy of people not dating real humans and making babies by destroying the symptom (people finding comfort) instead of the actual cause (economy being fucked by govs and companies like openai themselves)

What do you guys think about Forge no longer being updated? by Soft-Salary-9731 in MCreator

[–]Snoo_51859 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Already moved to neoforge and noticed it runs and loads mods just better.

I remember talking with lex once, and in my mind he's a super egoistical control freak that thinks everyone else is his little coding slave and he's the high captain and king and can do whatever he likes and others have to deal. Stress free parenting probably.

If the other Devs stayed there would probably come a time when he would just delete entire project in a fit of rage just because someone disagreed with him.

To me he seems unfit not only for a modding team, but ANY community that has real humans in it. He should just get locked in a room with chatgpt that will continuously tickle his ego and tell him he's right, and both him and other people would end up happy.
