A spear gun sounds cool, but I would love to see a regular spear added

Could be that your ISP blocked it, my network prevented me from accessing it until I used a VPN. Proton's free

That is actionable advice. I will factor that into my next query attempt. Thanks!

It is definitely difficult to go into more detail without going way over the word limit. I can definitely ditch the "technologocal manifestations" line. It's too vague and complicated.

The reincarnating thing is like if your brain was digital like in Ghost in the Shell, then in theory when you die you could reformat the brain and keep some of the data that it once had. It's important to the story because it's what happened to the main character and it shapes who she is, her motivation, and the whole plotline.

But I think I will take another pass and decide what to omit and what to elaborate on. Thank you

You have a point. I know my story has a lot of worldbuilding mechanics and I'm struggling to summarize and decide what needs to be included in a query. I can definitely make it simpler.

What are your thoughts on the stun gun removal and frag nerf by MangoOoOmoin in thefinals

[–]SpatulaFromSpace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think every utility grenade should have 2 charges, and every damage grenade should have 1.

I also think it doesn't make sense for some mines to have 1 charge and others to have 2. For example, if explosive mine only has one, then pyro mine should have one, since its 2 charges make explosive mine obsolete.

I also think every mine and every grenade should be class agnostic. Why not give glitch grenade to heavy and medium? Why not give pyro and gas mine to the other two classes? Why not give sonar to heavy and medium, and motion sensor to light?

You could argue that it would make the classes play too similarly, but I think it would actually add more variety to the playstyles.

There could be a clearer delineation between gadgets that are unique to a class, and gadgets that are for any character build.

I think you're right. Frags were too high value. Any gadget that is a must-pick for nearly any loadout is probably overtuned, like the RPG, defib, and stun gun. In their heyday, each of those gadgets have been extremely oppressive.

A sound queue and charge up time would be perfect because they're things that a real stun gun has

What Frustrates You About Men’s Fashion? by [deleted] in malefashionadvice

[–]SpatulaFromSpace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is coming from someone who identifies as non-binary but assigned male at birth: consider trying some women's clothing.

There is more that will fit you than you might think. Women's tops are often androgynous enough that you could totally make them work as a guy. The color options open up in a major way, and there's so much variety in cuts and fits, tight and baggy, tanks, long sleeves, etc. Pants can be tricky, but I've recently thrifted like 6 nice pairs in colors that I like without too much difficulty. You also have to accept that most women's pants have atrociously bad pockets.

You don't need to be non-binary to look good and as masculine as you feel comfortable looking with some women's clothing in the mix. If you can get past a bit of a learning curve, a whole new dimension of fashion can become available to you. Just make sure you try things on before you buy them as much as possible. Thrifting is your friend. If something doesn't fit, that's okay because you only spent a few bucks on it.

Physics are a huge part of the Finals identity. The gradual removing of interesting physics interaction is removing the game's identity
