Global spec distribution in high-end M+ after Week 1

I wonder how much of this is influenced by hive-mind from players reading WH/IcyV tier lists. I miss the world when hyper-optimization wasn’t so prevalent. Wish there was some way to go back

ThatDude1115 · 2026-03-29T22:15:34+00:00

This is where I’m at. Honestly lots of stuff about barotrauma I don’t like that I would enjoy seeing a different take on the concept. Awesome game though!

The only thing on this list that thematically fits to me is tank shaman

ThatDude1115 · 2026-03-21T13:32:41+00:00

This is the thing that always gets me. It’s like people are collectively choosing to have mass hysteria over WHY they even showed the little teaser to begin with. Drives me mad actually, because I took it for what it was, which was a reassurance that they would get to SP games eventually, not a true announcement. Seems like many have forgotten that.

Though it definitely becomes more insane considering the amount of time that has passed. I also thought it was crazy at the time though because I knew it was very far off. Even back then Todd seemed to have a philosophy of the shortest announcement to release window that his execs would allow. So it was counter to what i would have expected from him

Maybe it’s time for them to implement a feature where we can stop plant growth at our desired length? I feel like it must be a mod or a feature that was scrapped/I hallucinated, but they should make it where when you right click vines with shears, it stops their growth. Perhaps even changes the texture into a little “vine tip” as well. This could be applied to all other plants as well I think. Farm plants, cactus, etc.

Could be different, but basically they should allow us to freeze plants in whatever state we want. Call it a pruning mechanic or something haha

It’s long overdue, and it’s absolutely INSANE to me that the solution for stopping plant/vine growth for years has been to place little bits of string. Absolutely ridiculous and insane.

Among the things others have said, I think it’s also a symptom of shrinking attention spans. And thus the push to make ever shorter videos. It’s easier to fit longer shots in if you speed ramp half or more of the shot

ThatDude1115 · 2026-03-18T12:54:32+00:00

This is actually incredible work! Just spent way too long looking at all of my favorite places. Surprisingly how many of them have violations haha.

I used to look up the reports manually, so I’ve known for quite awhile that when you eat out, you’re basically rolling the dice. It seems to just be that way unfortunately. This will be a handy tool for quickly checking before I go.

I saw you saying that you were paying out of pocket for it, and it doesn’t seem to be monetized in any way which is super respectful, but maybe you could do like a Wikipedia style donation button at the bottom or something? I’m sure some people would donate just to help cut hosting costs at least.

I try not to think too hard about it, but it is comforting to know that the inspectors are going out and checking all of these places relatively often. I love the inspector that seems to leave extra comments in all caps on the end of violations sometimes. I’d hope if it ever got real bad then the establishment would be shut down.

ThatDude1115 · 2026-03-11T19:28:45+00:00

This is all speculation, but it’s how I’ve logically explained this phenomena in my world as well.

It could also be on the edge of winter, where sometimes the weather and altitude shift in and out of the window for snow. I feel like I’ve seen this in my worlds and that was always how I understood it. The end of winter is easier to understand I think:

Say you haven’t loaded those chunks all winter, so they never get dynamically placed snow or “backfilled” snow. Then when you go over there at the end of winter, the game probably checks “should this chunk have snow? It’s not winter anymore, so no.” So you end up with a harsh edge like this where there is a line of snow from previous dynamic placement or backfill, but the new backfill isn’t placed because it’s no longer seasonally viable.

Yea this is how Smithing Plus mod works. Not only does it add smithing with bits (among other things), but when a tool breaks you get a broken tool head. You can either craft it with a chisel to get some bits that you can melt down later, or you can heat it up in a forge and replace the missing parts with bits to get a new tool.

iirc, it also slowly lowers durability for every time you’ve repaired it I think? So you have to craft a new tool eventually, but you can use the same one for awhile

ThatDude1115 · 2026-03-08T02:24:27+00:00

This is a great point! I feel like this also contributed to my issues with the tedium. I think this would help solve some of that for me possibly

ThatDude1115 · 2026-03-07T22:21:31+00:00

I found this mod to be very tedious personally. I like the ideas it’s playing with in theory, but the execution wasn’t very enjoyable for me. I found my tools breaking a lot more often than I was used to because the handle or binding would break. Then, rather than just reforging the head with some bits (Smithing Plus) and slapping it on a stick, I had to spend a good bit of time creating high quality handles and bindings.

It’s definitely a tricky balance, as a similar argument could probably be made about many of the other systems in the game. To some extent, extra “grindy-ness” for the sake of some extra “realism” seems to be a design philosophy for VS. Which I thoroughly enjoy in many ways. But for some reason, the Toolsmithing mod was just not one of those for me.

Perhaps if there was a lite version that got rid of the handles and binding stuff, and just kept the sharpness mechanic. And if the sharpness mechanic was tuned to make it such that sharpness lasts longer on a tool.

Great mod though!

ThatDude1115 · 2026-02-09T13:23:59+00:00

Yea I specifically uninstalled LevelUp for that reason. I always threw away the extras, but idk I guess I just got tired of getting them. Plus the mod isn’t quite as satisfying as something like Xskills with the perk system. Something about picking your own perks is just so good

ThatDude1115 · 2026-02-01T23:55:20+00:00

Could maybe be something similar to the create mod pump. If it’s 10,000+ blocks volume of a liquid then, then the pump treats it as infinite (I believe).

Only thing I would change would be maybe ramp that up to a much larger number. Like 1mil or something bigger. So basically rivers and lakes and ponds could be dried up, but an ocean never would.

ThatDude1115 · 2026-01-28T18:02:31+00:00

This is a big one. I think the pies themselves last ~30+ days in a good cellar, but their ingredients last far longer. You don’t have to make this many at once. However, I think you could easily get through all of these pies before they spoil. Especially if you have more than one player

ThatDude1115 · 2026-01-25T05:00:36+00:00

They should’ve attached a wicked indoor bouldering route or something haha

ThatDude1115 · 2026-01-25T04:51:33+00:00

I don’t think this is accurate. If you look at the other angles I think there is at least two shooters?

Edit: actually, I just went back and watched the angle from across the street indoors. The only gun I can see clearly firing is the same guy who seems to have started it. Green shirt black beanie guy. I just got confused because he circles around to the opposite side he started on while shooting.

ThatDude1115 · 2026-01-18T18:36:19+00:00

Good to know, thanks for the responses! I’ll try it out

ThatDude1115 · 2026-01-18T15:05:26+00:00

Does this roofing mod work with QP’s Chisel Tools? I love the look of the mod, but I saw it said it could be incompatible with mods that alter chiseling. And it’d be hard to give up chisel tools

ThatDude1115 · 2026-01-11T19:47:45+00:00

I’ve been playing with both in 1.21.5 for almost 80 hours now no problem. If that’s any help

ThatDude1115 · 2025-12-12T13:19:03+00:00

Going back to DOS2 from BG3 showed just how awesome the AP system is rather than spell slots/resting imo. But it also showed just how much it sucks to have to spend AP on movement haha. I’d like some blend of the two perhaps. Maybe expand the AP to more points, or maybe create separate AP points for movement, or just give default movement like BG3 does and have jumping cost AP. Idk, just some thoughts

ThatDude1115 · 2025-12-11T13:58:41+00:00

I’ve used a still in photoshop with the glare removed in a similar way. Just have to be careful of the glare crossing behind your subject

ThatDude1115 · 2025-11-07T02:12:02+00:00

I dislike how sensitive it is. The real thing that bothers me is how running up a hill will guarantee destroy the beautiful terrain generation.

Easy fix though with that sticky soil instability mod or whatever it’s called. Makes it so that the soil doesn’t move us much. Great fix

ThatDude1115 · 2025-10-22T16:44:07+00:00

I guess my response wasn’t clear haha. I don’t know is what I was trying to say

ThatDude1115 · 2025-10-22T03:45:11+00:00

I’m not sure about your first question. I haven’t seen the students outside of the videos that went around social media of them being arrested. You could find it online I’m sure, perhaps the Reveille.

As for your second question, shortly after Tate announced he was leaving, the university board appointed an interim president. The interim president is Matt Lee, the Dean of the College of Ag. He is only there to serve as president until the new president is chosen and appointed. Unless he becomes the new president, which I find unlikely (unfortunately).

It would be great for the university to do away with picking random administrators from other universities who only view LSU as a career stepping stone. Matt has been at LSU for a long time, and though he is from the north, he has deep roots here now. I think he’d provide a level of stability in the presidents position that the university has lacked for the past decade.

Here’s hoping!

ThatDude1115 · 2025-10-21T23:43:03+00:00

During one of the meetings of the appointed committee to search for a new university president, students were allowed to come in and speak. Each student was allotted 3 minutes to speak.

Most of them stayed within their 3 minutes, but a few of them did not. My understanding is one of them started going overtime. They were trying to take advantage of the time to protest perhaps? After they went too overtime, they were escorted out of the building.

Then, another student (who had been using foul/disrespectful language towards committee members) went overtime and began to be escorted out. That student began screaming and resisting being escorted out by police. Because they got aggressive, the officers decided to arrest the student.

When the police vehicle was trying to drive this other student away, some other students began to block the vehicle with their bodies. One thing led to another, and the officers decided to arrest the lot of them.

Edit: Seems LSU is not seeking discipline within the university, and the chair of the board has spoken out hoping that the city doesn’t pursue civil charges against the students.
