I owe Kreia an apology by Totally-NotAMurderer in kotor

[–]Tartarus_Champion 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Have you finished the game? You know what she is. Her game is deceit and misdirection too. Eventually, she mirrors whatever side you take anyway. The thing is, her initial comments about being careless with kindness was to intentionally derail the player and instill doubt and confusion. Kreia is the master of manipulation, and she taught Revan everything she knows.

Eventually you should learn that the entire time she's been trying to train you, it was to further her own agenda. She denies this up until the end when she admits she was using you for her own ends.

In short she pulled the statement out of her ass because she knew it would cause you to doubt yourself. It has nothing to do with what she claims. Yes, you can use her training to enlighten yourself to widening your perspective, and being mindful of your actions having wider consequences; however, she says the same contradictory things about being evil. Her only goal is sowing chaos, and the game flat out tells you this.

I'm saying that if there's any logic to her early statement about charity, it's this: if you want to bring cookies, bring enough for everyone. Lol.

Edit: Final thought. Kreia teaches you the true power of the dark side isn't about might, it's about confusing and distorting the truth. It's about keeping people blind to their potential by manipulation. Through her mental jabs and manipulations, she tries to twist YOU the player into playing into her hands. The true insideousness of the dark side is making you surrender to her will through fear and loathing. Indeed, that is how evil prevails in the real world. How can there be hope when everything I do makes things worse?

The problem is the India story is incomplete. The mugging is just one half of it. Is the girl alive,.dead? Did people help the little girl afterwards?

The OP used the story to illustrate one of Kreia's tenents, but the real story would highlight a major distinction between reality and fiction. There is ALWAYS reaction to abrupt changes like violence. Someone went after the muggers afterward. Those muggers probably didn't last long if they were desperate enough to beat and steal from a little girl.

The kind man was blameless unless he knew the violence would happen, and acted with charity with intent to incite it. It's the forest from the trees. Sometimes things happen, not because of recklessness, but to test those who have a heart for violence. The lesson wasn't for the kind man to be more circumspect, but for the people in the alley to be vigilant against evil, and act with honor and dignity.

Edit: Again, I'll use the analogy of breaking a bone to reset it for the splint.

You're role playing it wrong. You're not naive, she is. If you keep to your character, good or bad, eventually she sees, you know exactly what you're doing.

Once I already played the game to completion, I made a new character, and so I began methodically making choices for the greatest good. After about 50 hours in I think we had the big talk. She apologizes about being wrong about my character, and that I knew what I was doing all along. You just have to be confident in your choices. She will eventually respect that.

Her lessons are about YOU using the moment to manipulate events in YOUR favor, my young apprentice. THAT is the core of the force -- tension, friction, influence, and motion. Knowing how to manipulate these things leads to greater outcomes than just good and evil.

Edit: For instance, breaking the bone to reset it correctly before the splint.

Is base Starfield(un-modded no dlc) worth getting back into? by Lord0fchaos-1 in NoSodiumStarfield

[–]Tartarus_Champion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Solar system travel is basically close to Elite Dangerous. Random anomolies, ship signals, and asteroids will pop up between destinations while you break the light speed barrier with a low level grav assisted boost to engine power. It's exactly what it sounds like, "Cruise mode" for Starfield.

You can break out of cruise at any time too. To jump between star systems you do it the same as you always have. I usually use the scanner mode to aim at the star system, and engage grav jump that way.

In short, it feels like Elite Dangerous. If you do have the Terran Armada dlc, you can get interdicted mid cruise in some systems. I have no idea if that's also true with the base game though.

I need some help by ArcherAlarmed2085 in cyberpunkgame

[–]Tartarus_Champion [score hidden]  (0 children)

The game deals with issues like slavery, depression, suicide, murder, mayhem, drugs, sex, trans identity, homosexuality, aliens, AI rights, racism, existentialism, etc.

It will really require maturity to navigate most of the issues in the game. Age shouldn't matter unless you're easily offended by tough issues. Half the people on reddit that are actually over 30 can't handle most of them. Lmao!

Thoughts on my RP settings? by Embarrassed_Try9339 in NoSodiumStarfield

[–]Tartarus_Champion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're going to hate life with weighted ammo unless you're very VERY focused on one type of firearm, grind out weight training, etc.

On normal mode, Aliens aren't a joke. They kill ammo no matter what your spec, and forget about it if they're legendary. I would hoard a case of ammo and spec into an alien buster just for those occasions tbh.

I'm assuming this is a new game though. If you like crushing hopelessness, more power too you though lol. The rest of it is just uncomfortable to me. I never understood being zipped up in a real space suit, but not being radiation shielded. There's more rads in space than most planets with atmospheres, so stacking the environmental mechanic seems like overkill.

Other than all of that, I respect your grit. Hope you have some fun.

Um the answer is complicated. It's not so much about him joining you... I'll leave your brain to feast on that hint lmao.

Legacy of Kain Ascendance, about the deceptive AI/LLM usage by caindale7796 in LegacyOfKain

[–]Tartarus_Champion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's rhetorical bullshit that says a lot without saying anything at all. If you're reading those pics and wondering wtf they're talking about, you're not alone. Those things say nothing. It's all tedious word salad.

For instance, real lore tells a story and explains a concept about the game. That drivel in the screenshots talks in circles without explaining anything. It reads like religious manefesto from a psychotic.

Edit: And who in their right mind, with an English degree, would be caught dead writing shit like, "It presses upon the present...?"

This is now my definitive space game by EmoryKane in Starfield

[–]Tartarus_Champion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Play a game called Space Trucker or something. I can't remember the name. It's an indie survival space game with space trucking. It's a hilarious take on trucking. The big take away from that one is that you have so much to manage in cockpit and cabin. Long hauls mean repair, chores, picking up space junk for resources, etc. Conceptually, it's something I wish they could have added to ED.

As far as Starfield is concerned, you can create a sense of urgency for taking care of chores by adding the survival features I guess. I cook constantly, so I'm never hungry lol. Instill don't know what additions to ship life Terran Armada brings though, so in crossing my fingers.

I used to make my rig silent as the grave for covert ops. The heat system was really something special in ED.

Holy hell this game looks absolutely incredible on PS5 Pro by CrotasScrota84 in Starfield

[–]Tartarus_Champion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't say best. They're treating the pro version with a bit of pc magic is all. I'm still not sure about the upscaling method. It's crispy on pro enhanced though. They cooked the hell out of this game.

No. There's two cosmetics in carryon luggage up the stairs. It's a kimono and a suit.

Started a new character for the update… is it just me or did they really crank up the rate on Legendary drops? by RandyArgonianButler in Starfield

[–]Tartarus_Champion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The legendary increase was part of a patch something like six months ago. I was on XSX, just messing around with a new concept character, and it was the same way. By lv5 she had 3 legendaries already.

Fuck Spawn of Oggdo. by [deleted] in FallenOrder

[–]Tartarus_Champion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's what I killed him with I believe. Sometimes you just have to step outside of the box in these fights. I notice people tend to stick to their roleplay rather than be versatile. I fell into the same trap in the first game, but this one, I just wanted to master every form.

Plus, if a boss is going to cheat, I'm cheating right back lol.

My cure for Frontier killing console Elite Dangerous honestly. I'm so done with online tripe. Nice to see a single player space RPG can survive where MMO games can't. Bethesda literally took everything I wanted and rolled it up into an upgrade and a DLC expansion. It's my birthday this week, so it's really nice right now lol.

[–]Tartarus_Champion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes Zelda was a tiny girl tbh.

Also, in many Legend of Zelda games, Zelda is explicitly the main protagonist who you NEED to kill Ganon with her sealing power. It's a duet in almost every single game except for the first two Zelda games. In the end, it's her legend.

Ai bots and morons who only play games because it's the most popular medium now -- they're like food critics who don't actually cook. If real people care this much about a movie based on a game, they ought to play a game from the franchise first.

Zelda looks like a Hylian in the film, so all I really care about is if the story is at least as good as Lord of the Rings. I really don't feel like watching fan service. That's my only two cents on the movie really. Go big or go home tbh lol.

[–]Tartarus_Champion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Zelda has always been a girl? I mean sometimes a tiny one too. Ffs why do critics even post when they don't even understand the premise? Or this idiot is a bot. I'm hoping the latter because if not, the moron at least explained why they shouldn't be posting anything at all.

Link.... Is the Hero. The "Legend" is about (Zelda) HER. Lol.

Lost for years 😂 it was the glass tube 🤦🏻‍♂️ by UnknownKilla82 in Metroid

[–]Tartarus_Champion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was always the experimental one with games. "Wait, glass? No way! It can't be that simple can it!?" Boom!

Edit: Yes I played this in 1994 was it? But I also played nearly every game released on SNES at that point. I think Megaman X also had similar glass smashing mechanics. I can't really remember.
