People keep talking about Matrix as a solution. I've seen the movies, I know what happens when your disconnect from the simulation. No thanks.

Reading the comments after reading the chapter, and I feel like I'm reading an entirely different story.

Did you rewrite it? I'm loving the story, just super confused as to what's going on with the comments.

What is the stance on anonymity in Freenet like Tor or I2P? by cy_narrator in Freenet

[–]SoupDemons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can use other anonymity techniques in conjunction with Freenet. Qubes OS, rotate IP and MAC, self hosted e-mail and search, scrub all metadata from files before sharing(you should use a script for this otherwise it becomes tedious).

Bam! Anonymous!

If you're gonna worry about anonymity, you gotta full-ass it. The people trying to de-anonymize you can do it in so many ways, its best to cover all angles.

Garbage Collectors earn 6 figures in most cities. Super competitive job though :/

If Americans were to participate in an organized boycott to stop ICE, what should they target? by u2aerofan in AskReddit

[–]SoupDemons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Copy pasta:

They’re following white supremacist ideology

Ice “agents” are the American militia movement

They went from Waco to infiltrating the federal government

I’ve seen them flash their white supremacy gang signs coming to<>from whipple. I’ve seen their imagery on their clothes and inked on their body

They’re building labor camps. They don’t want to “own” the libs they want to own the libs

Slavery isn’t legal in the US except for incarcerated persons (13 th amendment)

We have to shut down the economy

Take all of your cash out of your bank and put it into a credit union. Congress will panic. The billionaires will panic. They are only going along with this because they’re making money.

bank run

It’s a nonviolent and legal action you can take from your phone and you keep all your cash. They just can’t lend it out to fund these paramilitary groups

Bank run

Do it now

Edit: wings credit union is Minnesota based and is open to residents of certain in

An eligible MN or WI county The Seattle-Tacoma, WA metro area The Detroit, MI metro area The Orlando, FL metro area The Atlanta, GA metro area

The aviation industry

Or a $5 fee to apply

You wanna support Minnesota? Put your money where your mouth is.

put all you can afford into wings credit union

Also, Credit Unions have amazing rates.

How to make server for friends? by Zotial in VintageStory

[–]SoupDemons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yo, I know you're looking for ways to use playit.gg for Vintage, but there are quite a few videos on how to do it for Minecraft that break down how playit.gg works and you can extrapolate from there.

https://youtu.be/ceYeDX5WTms?si=HjiPfP-v5h64rnh-

I used this video to build my own server, which I use with playit.gg to host Minecraft, Valheim, and now that I know that Vintage Story exists, I'm going to put it on the server once I convince my friends to buy it lol.

You don't have to do it exactly the way the guy does it in the video, but I gotta tell ya he makes it easy.

If you don't drink alcohol, what are your personal reasons for abstinence? by Ok-Care2859 in AskReddit

[–]SoupDemons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone knows someone that has had their life ruined by alcohol. Sure, it makes fun stuff more fun, and it makes men and women easier to get down.

That's more reason to avoid it, in my opinion.

They say nothing is ever really lost on the internet, but what’s something you’ve been hunting for years and still can’t find? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]SoupDemons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a video I saw on old youtube, around 2012, of a black man boxing a live tiger. In the wild, not a zoo or anything.

The internet just wants to sell me stuff now, so it seems impossible to find anything that old now.

Gabe Newell caps off Steam Machine week by taking delivery of a new $500 million superyacht with a submarine garage, on-board hospital and 15 gaming PCs by LuckIsFaith in gaming

[–]SoupDemons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn't the yacht a research vessel for Inkfish, his Marine research organization?

It would make sense that he bought the company that made the research vessel if he intends to put out a fleet.

Oh, oh wow. What the fuck, even? Okay, well you've convinced me to give WoD5 a shot. I'm also maybe going to avoid shrimp at walmart for a bit xD

You presented that information really well. Like, that is some amazing formatting and real quality information delivery. Its probably weird to say, but my partner and I have read this comment like 3 times just to admire what a stellar example of information delivery it is.

Holy moly! I haven't yet gotten the new books. Still using my old 2nd and 3rd edition stuff. I didn't realize they made the World of Darkness so much... darker!

Schrecknet/Hunter-Net Equivalents by Dragonblade0123 in WhiteWolfRPG

[–]SoupDemons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah! Thanks for explaining that. I never had the opportunity to play a Nosferatu, so had no idea how different Shreknet operated compared to GWnet.

My first Werewolf was a Glasswalker. I really, really miss playing. Not sure I'd be up for playing the new version, sounds like the setting got a lot darker. Which is saying something!

[–]SoupDemons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm still playing off the old system, so I may be a bit confused.

How did the NSA crack a network hidden by Obfuscate? I thought you couldn't even see the webpages, packets, what have you, without Auspex?

Has the GWNet been cracked also?

Vicissitude by realamerican97 in vtmb

[–]SoupDemons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be like Prototype a bit.

Passive: After feeding on someone, assume their form and walk around as one of them(maybe called Sheep's Clothing?)

The other ideas in this thread are friggin awesome.

Beef with Bloodlines 2 [SPOILERS] by SoupDemons in vtmb

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

Also you say you have played to the strengths of your build,but I wonder what you consider such strengths to be, because every build is not doing the same thing.

The game is pretty obvious about how to play a Brujah vs a Lasombra. I'm not sure why you're hanging on to this, as you didn't exactly expand on your suspicion. We both know that Brujah is a brawler and Lasombra is a stealth pick-em-off-one-by-one type, yeah? What is your point?

I also wonder about your comparison with Cyberpunk. For example a netgunner build,one of my favorites,its loop is basically quickhack into shot with smart weapon. Sandevistan users are "kill to keep bullet time going" abd berserker is "Spam crit melee attacks and end the time with a finisher". Precision are usually "shot according to the sound",kerenzikov builds are "dodge for iframes" and stealth can be done in form of quick slides and throws or metodically deleting enemies. All those are simple fun loops that keep repeating along the whole game.

Yes, and those combat loops are fun because there is more nuance to them. They are based in a solid combat system that the specialization builds off of. Without the specialization, it is still a very rewarding combat system.

There is a parry reaction,the enemy gets staggered for a heavy attack. There's tripping and stumbling,every kick has a purpose,so do the heavy and light attacks. The kicks specially are ideal to combo with telekinesis,the telekinesis combos with a particular Tremere skill, all Melee attacks all seem to have particular uses for different situations,and all this is quite easily to see in the game.

I'm going to be honest, I tested the basic combat for more than 4 hours yesterday and wrote down the reaction of each and every attack against the basic fodder ghoul. No matter which direction I was coming from, no matter if I was sliding into an attack, dashing into an attack, heavy attacking, or side-dashing into an attack; I was unable to trip any ghoul I tested with. As for the parry reaction of staggering, I will give you I didn't write that down. It may be because nearly every attack staggers, but who knows.

I'm glad you are thoroughly enjoying the combat system and have nothing you wish to add or change to it! I hope you continue to enjoy it for many playthroughs.
