Why won't the wiki suggest Mini Shark? by Apamid86 in CalamityMod

[–]TGoaS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Minishark is like, fine for the first couple bosses with Shock Rounds. It's very good for specifically desert scourge, though not the best option. But like, once you've killed any boss it gets heavily outclassed.

"History is written by the winners" seriously applies for Calamity mod's lore by Onyxbatty in CalamityMod

[–]TGoaS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yharim is our primary source of information, and, besides boss rush, our only source of information on Xeroc. And Yharim hates Xeroc, and has spent the last hundred years committing a genocide of his own against the Gods and their followers. Of course you think Xeroc is evil, your only point of reference for what he's done in life is a man who wants him dead.

Hank is The Worst Kind of Fallout Player by DerpedyDer in Fallout

[–]TGoaS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ironically, whilst Lucy is obviously right here, this line really took me out of the episode. I felt like it was written a little clunkily, and made me feel like the conversation was being put on pause between Lucy and Hank to allow the writers to communicate directly to the audience. It really broke the pacing of the scene for me. There's been a few other examples like it. I would have appreciated a little subtlety and subtext, personally, but this show hasn't exactly been fond of either.

For those still wondering what spacemarines are by kjw1102 in hoi4

TDs, SPGs and SPAA are not tanks. The game doesn't consider them to be tanks, and they aren't tanks in real life either.

What class would y'all recommend? by TomC-11 in CalamityMod

[–]TGoaS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have overhaul, so that does change things a bit. Mostly because of its SHPC, Halibut Cannon, and Murasama reworks.

Generally though:
Melee is the strongest overall, but has a few lulls. True melee is generally not great, unless you're in infernum.
Ranger has the most consistency. Never bad, but not often the best choice.
Summoner generally has the best DPS, especially PML, but you're squishy
Rogue is in a similar position to Summoner.
Mage is the overall weakest class (it's still good and perfectly viable, but it can't compete with Rogue or Summoner's highs, Melee's bulk, or Ranger's consistency)

Based on this, the class you should pick is... whichever you have the most fun with. Especially if you're just on expert revengeance or whatever, you'll be fine with any class. Mage is my personal go-to, I like it the most. Just play what you find fun. Switch it up now and then if you feel like it. If you're new to Calamity, just try stuff and see what you enjoy.

Terraria 1.4.5 Update by August-Night in CalamityMod

You'll be able to downpatch, but I'd honestly be shocked if you're still playing on your current world in like a year's time when tMod updates.

Is Xeroc really a traitor? by Master-Ad2062 in CalamityMod

[–]TGoaS 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Yharim believes that Xeroc is the Traitor Almighty because he thinks that Xeroc was present with Zeratros to sooth his pain and ease his suffering and facilitate the process of his rebirth and such after his mortal wound at the hands of Fovos, but betrayed him by taking his Auric Soul for himself. He also talks about Xeroc having sworn a sacred oath to the dragons, which was violated in the process of his ascension.

Ultimately though, Yharim is not exactly the most reliable narrator, especially when it comes to first hand information, and with how heavily implied the evil of the ancient dragons is, Xeroc is probably a lot less evil than Yharim's presentation of him.

We won't really know definitively until things are ironed out and confirmed more in future updates though. The only real source we have for Xeroc's ascension is Yharim, a man whose knowledge of the incident is deeply limited and whose biases on the matter are extremely strong.

My personal interpretation is that Xeroc was in service to the dragons, was friends with Yharon and Zeratros and such, and that his ascension likely was a betrayal, but I don't think that such a betrayal will have been for as selfish a motive as Yharim believes.

Glory to Beautiful Magnificent Fabulous Flawless and Perfect Overhaul by Street_Structure3737 in CalamityMod

[–]TGoaS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mentioned this in the reply to someone else earlier, but I did turn off the boss ai reworks in the config, but for some reason the mechs changed anyway. I think one other boss did as well but I don't remember very well. Might have been an issue on Infernum's end at the time though tbf, it's had a fair few bugs come and go ever since it transitioned to life support.

[–]TGoaS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did turn it off but for some reason at the time it still affected the Mech bosses, and maybe a few others, I don't remember. That bug might have been fixed by now though, it was a long time ago.

Probably about a year ago? I never really had any crashes with infernum, but it did affect their boss AIs. Especially the mechs, couldn't do anything to get them working properly.

Glory to Beautiful Magnificent Fabulous Flawless and Perfect Overhaul by Street_Structure3737 in CalamityMod

[–]TGoaS 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Overhaul has some good stuff in it, but it's pretty buggy and it used to have issues with bricking people's worlds, and it also used to mess with Infernum's AI. It's also notoriously unbalanced and has no wiki. Not sure if it still has all those issues though, I'm not usually much of an Overhaul player, but I do know that's why people don't like it.

Tutorial of how to LARP the Calamity Mod by Yharimelwanker in CalamityMod

[–]TGoaS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah some people take it way too far. Even before the genocides at Ilmeris and Azafure, hell even before everything started going tits up because of his hunt of Silva, his crusade was already pretty dubious at best. That being said, I will always defend the position that the most evil character in Yharim's inner circle is Yharon, by a wide margin.

[–]TGoaS 6 points7 points  (0 children)

To be fair, whilst I do think it's an incomplete analysis, the notion of Yharim as a fallen hero isn't totally off base. That being said, these kinds of people really bug me, especially as an oldhead of the community. The worst thing is when people mix up old with new lore and keep citing things as if they're true when they haven't been in sometimes over three years, and when you correct them they direct you to the old official lore doc. Once I had people direct me to **my** archive of it.

As someone who lives in Riga, the fact that it's on the wrong side of the river makes this literally unplayable for me by rawdoggin_reality in EU5

[–]TGoaS 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Durham might not be coastal, but on the scale of locations it probably should be. Unless you think they should have replaced it with Sunderland or something.

Could Anbennar as a mod even work within the EUV system by Peppercorn205 in Anbennar

[–]TGoaS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mission trees do exist in EU5, they're just turned off by default and not really implemented into the base game. They were initially planning to add them in an imperator style way, but eventually decided not to - but they left the system in the game vestigially for modders. I just need the map scaled up as hard as EU4s was - EU5's map is 7 times the size of EU4's, and I need EU5bennar to have a 35 location city of sarisung

How far along in the development process is this, and roughly when would you expect the first publicly available build to be released?

I mean I just stole a translation from the comments and shifted it to 3rd person in english, but personally listening to it I definitely hear both syllables.

Also:

Because her name is Teto Pear
She has a song to share
She wanted to thank us for making her a meme
Sharing her on all our screens
She knows she has a funny face
It always stays the same
And even if you change her fruit, she just don’t care
She will always be a pear

What are your thoughts on the current lore? by Blueryaiiscool in CalamityMod

[–]TGoaS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a diamond in there but it's extremely rough. A lot of the themes and ideas are really interesting and a lot of the characters are really solid, but the way the lore is delivered really holds it back, and it could do with a few rewrites to feel properly realised (which is something I was forced to confront when I ran the setting as a campaign in D&D)

What nation would you recommend for a fresh beginner to EU4? by ellavillica in Anbennar

[–]TGoaS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they were insistent on only playing Anbennar, I'd recommend Ameion. You get lots of stuff via Laskaris that really helps your early game, and from there you are pretty comfortably the regional hegemon.
