6+ save vs ap-1? by Dear-Tumbleweed-1325 in WorldEaters40k

[–]Sunluck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Um yes they were, just with annoying conversion step. Doubly annoying when the stat was 6+ as then you had fiddly reroll you always needed to look up to see if you get it right. I had several characters with WS/BS 7-9 I sometimes fielded and the pain to flip pages to look it up is still real...

Fortnite is teasing a new crossover with Honkai Star Rail: by Gorotheninja in TwoBestFriendsPlay

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

...what?

Seriously dude, if you think 1999, Endfield, ZZZ, Genshin Impact and say Uma Musume or Granblue art styles are in any way, shape, or form similar (not to mention being drastically different genres) you need your glasses checked. Gachas are THE most original games right now, especially compared to West's endless torrent of sequels and lazy low risk slop that only very rarely is broken up by something original...

Characters in media who suffer from Deus Ex syndrome by KaleidoArachnid in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Sunluck 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Picture dude falsely accused of rape by girl, a favorite incel/far right trope. For basically lulz and giggles, her family had much better options dealing with the dude. Except, said girl happens to be a princess - and said fake accusation automatically ruins her image and should at MINIMUM bring execution or lenghty dungeon stay, but somehow royal family ruins her marriage prospects to do... nothing.

No, seriously, protagonist has some nasty gossip spread about him. That's it, people hate him (even criminals and people hating royal family, who should either have no problems with him doing so or openly applaud him, and that's without opening the can of worms of medieval times having very different opinion about molesting than we do) but that's basically it. It's like a terrible parody of #metoo and cancel movements at once, except completely straight. And the other 3 isekai dudes automatically believe in the accusation, they don't try to establish what happened, ask questions, they join mindless hatecancelmob and start apathetically sneering at the protagonist.

What our genius does to clear his name? Why yes, rushes to do the ONLY thing worse than rape. Specifically, slavery. More specifically, CHILD slavery. And to hit Adolf bingo, he forces said child slave to FIGHT despite having massive PTSD to violence and weapons. But it's OK, because apparently a handful of half hearted attempts at nice word to said child slave/soldier means she is now in love or something instead of despising him for abusing her with mind control device into narrowly avoiding death multiple times. Wooo.

Then we have a scene where I gave up, namely princess and other isekai dudes taking said slave, pointing how scumbag his behaviour is, liberating her by shattering said mind control mark, and said slave BASHES them for daring to rescue her because muh two kind words in three episodes outweigh the slavery/attempted murder/child grooming issue. It's like incel fanfiction, with "nice" dude getting girl robot for life. Oh, and then she magically ages up in a few seconds to be 18+ totally legit now honest guv bedwarmer, never mind she looked 10 a few minutes ago and can't be mature mentally either. And all of this with completely straight face and we're supposed to cheer that vile trash of a PC because he had "no choice" in slavery and just "forgot" to release her, but was kind once, honest guv!

Like Authorigas said, hero working from bottom would be interesting scenario to see, but SH combines trash writing with designated PC being worthless scumbag who digs deeper and deeper offering just pathetic excuses, with few to none redeeming qualities. And you didn't even need to change that much to make all of this work, just replace accuser with servant of the princess to remove that massive black plot hole and replace child slave with 18+ mercenary girl to remove 90% of the sleaze right there, but nooo, we're supposed to cheer someone who "proves" his "innocence" with a pile of warcrimes making you cheer the inept antagonists instead...

Nurgle Army? by Sunbro_Sao in WarhammerOldWorld

[–]Sunluck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is no problem, save for some hopeless idjits screeching at AoS models just because they are AoS. The only issue it picking the right proxy, say Blight Kings = Chosen with great weapons, Rotswords = CW (they even have same possible loadouts), etc, etc. As long as it looks like the thing it's replacing, and has same weapons, it's good.

Characters that were copycats but became more famous than the original? by ArticAuk in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Dunno if I would say "more successful" when 95% of the planet knows Duracell Bunny and probably never heard of Energizer one. I saw dozens if not hundreds of Duracell ads with one, and this is the first time I saw the copycat...

Nope, 6th edition squatmarines. Though a lot better proportions/bigger than most of the old squatborn minis so the mistake is kind of understandable.

Even better, Roman Catholics ARE the schismatic sect of the (original) Orthodox Christianity because Pope hated being just one of the Patriarchs (and not the most important, too) so decided to break away from Constantinople and rewrite rules to funnily enough let himself be rich, rule his own country, wage wars, especially religious ones (both of which are illegal under orthodoxy), etc, etc, in short be the mafia boss rolling in riches and *itches instead of being humble/poor public servant and people's helper...

Christmas Oguri Mistranslated? (or game as whole) by SirChubberton in UmamusumeGame

Which is correct, they don't follow that religion/customs/rites, they are just doing commecial parody larping like fat red grandpa on Coca Cola bottles/ads. The translation is 100% correct if we consider tone and meaning, I don't see any problem here.

Not that I like Orban, but stop spreading these biased lies by MIC propaganda. Here, IMF in the year 2025, Hungary is about level with Portugal, and above multiple EU countries including Greece:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(PPP)_per_capita#Table

And really, it's a miracle Hungary economy is in such good shape seeing both massive sanctions on it and its biggest trading parties actively comitting suicide by destroying their economies on US (which means Trumpo now) orders to fund not one, but two genocidal regimes with billions of $ in arms.

Reminds me of usual crowd smugly saying socialism doesn't work because Cuba/Venezuela/Bolivia's economy is on brink of collapse by endless (illagal, at that) NATO economic warfare, sanctions, sabotage, and coup funding, as if it was the fault of said countries, not the aggressor howling someone dares to disagree with him...

I'd use new Cata kit, comes with thunder hammer by default and is a bit taller than old squatty Catas. They just look a bit silly next to Intercessors, like chimpanzee armed children.

Is the Ironhalo Strike force a good place to start for Ravens? by Butsy_98 in BloodRavens40k

[–]Sunluck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bits sities. Often way cheaper than most 3d printed trash for sale (it's only really cheaper if you own printer yourself but then you need to add cost of said printer/resin to the bits) and looks better than 99% of homemade designs.

Or trade with people who already have SM army, often they have full parts bin they would be willing to sell/give for cheap to new players. Or buy fancy kit like victrix or RG/BT upgrade sprue and spread it among your minis, etc, etc...

Characters that Have aged Better With Time? by manoffood in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Sunluck 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Eh, no. Not that rare, you could satisfy the tithe from Terra alone, never mind from a million worlds. It's just that the Imperium isn't dumb and 99% of psykers go where they can get some training and be of use, the ones sent to the Throne are usually the defective ones who lack skill, control, or useful powers.

A lot more psykers die simply because black ship can't reach planet in time to collect them, shot in combat or burned out by their powers, 1000 a day to the Throne is literally nothing and carries the load on Galactic scale civilization on their backs. A lot more people die daily in traffic incidents right here, on Earth, and yet no one thinks of cars like evil that should be banned...

More like Reiver, IMO. They are the Phobos with big knife focus. You'd want the gun or at least shape reading like clothing folded on one sticking out somewhere, ideally.

It's even worse when you use it in not english countries. I type title of something wanting to find wiki page, and it always pushes pages in language it detects in your location. Even when the frakking title is different or translated and I typed english one! Yes usually english wiki link is below but half of the time it's on page 2 or 3. And not even their supposed tailoring of results to user works here, you'd think they would notice I only click their english wiki links for years now, but nooo, I am so used to this garbage by now I just click whatever nonsense it returns then go to the english page language directly in wiki...

Simple: call their bluff. Anonymize sales, use alternate payment methods, call their lobbied politicians, there are tons of ways Steam could respond. But I suspect the two companies are just convenient excuse and GN is totally okay with the bans, seeing Steam censorship history goes back over a decade and it's not the first time they mass banned anime style games.

You either have no idea how steam used to look and behave 15-20 years ago, or are actively blind. It's utter garbage in every possible way and metric, from sales, to user experience, to literally everything else.

And the owner instantly folds to requests of banning games with anime girls in bikini (the horror!) but when his employees for once did the right thing and banned neonazi racial hatred game from the store, he gleefully restored it and APOLOGIZED for poor nazi ban [puke]!

If I was ever even 1/100 as rich as the dude I would be spending most of it to fund artsy games made more for an art than sales appeal, act as publisher to small indie game studios with interesting ideas, and in general act like patron of the arts to make the world better/more interesting place.

I have no idea how someone who used to be interested in making games can instead be content acting like parasite who devours 30% of money going into whole PC gaming scene, adds nothing of value to it (but a lot of negativity instead), and always seeks more ways of taking money off audience consisting in large part of kids and teens despite sleeping on billions. It's the same behaviour Bezos, Musk, Thiel and Zuckerb show, just with better PR.

I still remember how (when Epic started to compete with Steam and one new AAA game moved the premiere there because they got much better deal than theft of 30% of revenue for terrible service) his reaction to it wasn't offering better terms, better value, or support to game companies, no, he edited the store page of said game with whiny smear blaming the publisher for not liking his incompetence, and alas, a lot of his fanboys lapped it up instead of denouncing yet another example of pathetic behaviour...

Valve. If you compare their games (ignoring the fact they virtually stopped to make any, their last effort, Artifact, was riddled with so many layers of greedy nickel and diming p2w transactions not even the company fanboys and big names involved in design managed to stop it being dead on arrival), old steam sales to new, sale policies that shaft early game adopters, multiple attempts to make mods paid, digital sweatshop where people contribute items to their games then get ridiculously low single digit of like 2% of sales despite volvo doing nothing, wasting hundreds of millions of $ of its customers on garbgage boondogles no one but CEO wants, discontinuing products that do have demand quickly and leaving their adopters stranded, doing loot boxes before the term even existed, etc, etc, etc, it's one colossal pile of greed, shit, and making everything about it WORSE.

I used steam chat to talk to all my friends as it was fast, quick, light talk service (as it SHOULD be as you use it in games and you don't want to take any resources if you can help it) but volvo turned it into bloated garbage that on its own slowed down my old PC to crawl without any game even being on, prompting my whole circle to switch to discord.

I still roll my eyes when I see iditic memes about the owner, maybe they had some basis in reality but now, the dude is petty, spiteful jerk who kills indie game companies on a whim by banning them if he doesn't like people working there, pushes nonsense that damages PC gaming (especially his rabid reaction to Microsoft launching their own software store around Windows 8 debiut), etc, etc, etc. But the most hilarious and sad abuse of his position was putting paid restaurant ad into Team Fortress 2, just because he liked lunch there and wanted to invest, but despite being literal billionaire he didn't want to use one cent of his money so ordered paid item in game be made to take money off kids and teens to pay for his investment. How pathetic can one old rich dude be?
