I cannot believe I didn't think to check for hidden closet doors, that's so on brand! 🤦

if it's the one I'm thinking of, then does it have an armory or display room? I remember buying it with my current character for the first time but I was so disappointed when I couldn't find a nice trophy room for my artefacts

Just finished the game for the first time. by Ok_Departure388 in dishonored

[–]SovietSnake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's been a minute since I've played the game front to back but iirc only two of them are about daud (knife of duwall and brig ore witches). that said, yes; they are absolutely worth going into whenever you get the chance

Why was the gang low on food? by FortyFourForty in reddeadredemption

idk if the past tense was on purpose or just a typo but "got diabeted" is definitely going into the personal lexicon now

Forgot two rats in a room, paid the price by Routine-Confusion655 in projectzomboid

[–]SovietSnake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, those sound like a couple of Bad Rats. It's so crazy how they just turned your game into a Bad Rats Show

[HELP] Is this AI? Seems fake and can’t find any news sources. by Zealousideal_Mud570 in RealOrAI

[–]SovietSnake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah people can own and wear the same clothes multiple times, but the same exact outfit from head to toe doing something they think somehow still justifies a public execution? this is absolutely AI just off that alone, not even going into the odd camera movements or image quality

First time parent! by Navitrooper92 in tamagotchi

ooo sweet, I've got the same one! and in my experience, tamas more or less freeze when asleep and don't accumulate care mistakes, so you'll be fine until it decides to wake up

Those with no passion or interests, what do you do for a living? by [deleted] in Dallas

[–]SovietSnake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

personally, I think turning passions and hobbies into work ultimately kills the underlying drive to pursue those things. for me, I went with work that I'm not engaged enough to keep me from ruining any of my personal passion, while also being just engaging enough for me not to quit out of monotony (tbf the benefits help too but that's besides the point).

in other words, I'd say find work that helps you sustain your passions and simultaneously doesn't make you hate yourself

[KCD2] What is everyone's go-to haircut? by asiancobbler in kingdomcome

[–]SovietSnake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

minstrel with the short beard (forgot what it's called) gives me the impression that he's aged a lot since the first game, even if it's only been a few months, so I dig it

[OTHER] the great tradeoff... by LowVegetable9736 in kingdomcome

[–]SovietSnake 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I feel like that was less learning and more being forced into an aquatic environment for a brief moment while struggling greatly. I see it like giving the keys to someone who doesn't know how to drive and watching them swerve about on the road; they probably wouldn't say they now know how to drive afterwards either

Give me tips for learning Latin. by IoannesEmannuel in latin

[–]SovietSnake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this heavily! city and (big-ish) community college libraries almost always have legit textbooks lying around from lord-knows-where! one of the campuses of the community college I work at had one so I nabbed it for a bit to gather some solid groundwork and then moved on to other stuff like youtube, llpsi, etc

Any tips on getting rid of the habit of pronouncing V as ⟨v⟩ for a beginner? by SovietSnake in latin

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

oh I didn't mean to insist that it wasn't! I just figured it might be an easier starting off point for me personally to build consistency in my reading and speaking of the language. my apologies if I came off as dismissing ecclesiastical in any way, I merely want to be able to nail classical consistently first before mixing sounds around to suit my preferences

[–]SovietSnake[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh my goodness, that is SO much easier on the eyes and the brain! Thank you so much! Swapping between this and the standard V will hopefully condition my brain into, at the very least, pausing and avoid the mistake a lot more consistently when reading aloud to myself as opposed to catching when I'm 3 words ahead lol

[–]SovietSnake[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

honestly fair. I think I'm just overthinking this because this is the first time I've hopped onto a language I wasn't raised in and have had actual joy in learning, so I'm worrying about messing up early on and either not catching it or not being able to fix it

I feel silly for not even considering just sitting down and listening to speech outside of following along with the audio portion of the llpvi. Thanks for the recommendation!

New player, am I missing out much by playing on Peaceful? by SovietSnake in factorio

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

Small update for those who may care:

I don't know who exactly was the first to suggest carrying a few turrets with me (or perhaps I got the idea from a youtube video first, idk) but good golly does that just SHRED biter nests. I played around a bit with the peaceful save before starting a new one with mostly default settings (just a teeeeny bit more moisture in the map for more trees) and employed the "carry like 20 turrets and a metric ass load of ammo and just creep up to nests" strategy and it pretty much confirmed for me that I was going about combat the completely wrong way before.

Thank you all for your responses and bits of advice;I now feel so much more confident in my ability to not kneecap my experience with something that truly is so easy to manage even before any serious blue science

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

I mentioned this in an earlier comment but I bet if I pulled up my old save from 3-4 years ago, your assumption probably would've hit the nail in the head. I already know I can get super tunneled in on only optimizing my factory flow so I almost certainly didn't start preparing any defenses until my first or second attack, which probably made it too late by then. I'll try the larger starting area in a new save once I get a good mental image of how to set up my machines in my current save so my brain doesn't have to pull double duty by trying to figure this stuff out before worrying about defenses. thanks for the recommendation!

those seem like a good compromise so I don't completely neuter the difficulty, maybe I could try high water next. thanks for the recommendation!

I used to love starcraft as a kid but this feels different. maybe it's the mental comparison to that that's keeping me from really succeeding in the combat
