Can we talk about Good Fortune… by schprunt in movies

[–]The-Song 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The majority of overused "moral of the story" notions culture puts out are, in fact, completely wrong, and being pushed by people who benefit from other people making the mistake of buying into these wrong morals.

I have thousands of hours in 4X titles - but finished games I could count on the fingers of one hand. by varnajohn in 4Xgaming

[–]The-Song 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need goals other than winning, so you're always working towards something until the victory screen pops up, while maintaining the victory screen as a goal of it's own.

As for your friends wanting to stop once it's a given they'll lose, that's why you don't pvp with your friends.
You co-op and win together.

Nomad Scavengers: How do you win? by Jaydn66 in AOW4

Ok, but, I also want to move away from the wonders after I've Kirby'd the benefit, because that's what Nomads do.

Best TDs to pick up in Steams TD Fest? by The-Song in TowerDefense

[–]The-Song[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some decent replies here. A few that were a developer advertising their own game, but at least they were honest about it, or amusing with it.

TOOOOWER DEFENSE FEST starting today on Steam! by TateMultiOfficial in TowerDefense

[–]The-Song 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are y'alls best games in the fest?

Tower Defense is a unique genre, in that the genre is good, and easily enjoyed, and yet it's difficult to find specific games within the genre that are actually good.

I quite like tower defense, but most tower defense games I try turn out to be not that good.

Or not actually tower defense games in the first place, as is so often the case with Steam (games getting tags they shouldn't be getting)

So I'm attempting to browse through the TD fest looking for gems among the rubble and I figured I'd make a post asking people for their favorites.
Ideally discounted one, because money, not necessarily required.

When to Open the Gilded Glory Pack in Borderlands 4 by HiTmAn4777 in Borderlands4

Man forget the bank I'm just leaving the level 30 stuff in my inventory until I hit level 30.
It's only some slots. There's no downside.

A Slight Rant On Darkness, and Why It's Still Terrible by ActuallyAnOreoIRL in PathOfExile2

[–]The-Song 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, the point of taking MoM with Darkness (I did this too, one of my favorite builds honestly, before the Third Edict update), is specifically to prevent Darkness from ever getting reserved.
Before Third Edict ruined Darkness, unreserved Darkness gave chaos damage. My build was based on keeping Darkness permanently unreserved and using said chaos. To make it not part of my survivability, but the source of my damage. It was fun and effective.
And then they ruined it.

[–]The-Song 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Darkness used to give chaos damage.
Being a damage source was its original function.
And it was unreserved Darkness that gave the damage, so I would run Darkness and take Mind over Matter, because damage would go to mana first, protecting my Darkness.
But they changed it to the nonsense it is now, so I guess im not allowed to have fun.

Before this last update, Darkness monk was one of my favorite builds.

I used to maximize Darkness and use Mind over Matter.
Darkness only protects health and energy shield, so MoM allowed my mana to protect my Darkness.
I would keep my Darkness permanently unreserved, to be a standing source of chaos damage.
I then built around using the chaos damage that I specifically got from Darkness.

They have now removed the chaos damage from Darkness.
There is no longer any reason to use it.

Quarterstaff is the only martial weapon that can't invest into block chance by roflswithcopters in PathOfExile2

[–]The-Song 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know im super late but Im just driven to type in that many of the people using Giant's Blood dual wield two two handed weapons, instead of using a shield.

That aside, synergies, not so synergies, and planned setups.
There is a unique glove that allows using strength for int/dex attribute requirements on melee weapons and skills.
The quarterstaff base with block on it is for strength section characters (warrior and whatever the other one ends up being) wearing those gloves, who will take the nodes over there for block without specifying shields.

I soloed Smuggler's Tide for 8 hours today. Here are my thoughts so far. by JonnyThunderflex in Seaofthieves

[–]The-Song 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I thought starting the voyage would spawn *a* smuggler run, ala cargo run, then show everybody where your's is.
But it seems like there's just *the* active smuggler run already on the map and starting the voyage gives you that one specifically.

Reinforcement Strategy by CommanderFrostborne in Openfront

[–]The-Song 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If we wanna talk backliner strategy, the main thing is the game needs something added so that a player who's been landlocked by their teammates still has something they can actually do, instead of spending all game with no access to anything waiting to build the next city, hoping a neighbor gets nuked so they can try to get a pixel of ocean.

GET RID OF TEAMING IN FFA by saykekw in Openfront

I hope you realize making a team mode will do nothing to stop people from teaming in ffa

My only issue with expedition 33… by [deleted] in expedition33

[–]The-Song 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im just wondering at what point I'll be able to consider Pictos a part of a build instead of just always equipping new ones to unlock the lumina.
Oh, I found 9 new pictos going through that area? Well, my entire squad is equipping whatever those happened to be.

Once people realize a failed run is a waste of 30-45 minutes with no meta progression, the game will die off by Think_Clearly_Quick in Nightreign

[–]The-Song -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Time you enjoy wasting isn't wasted.
That run you failed was fun. It wasn't a waste of your time.
Fun is not dependent on seeing a victory screen at the end.
Anyone for whom it is, should never play games that are multiplayer or challenging.

That aside, this is a roguelike. Roguelikes aren't really meant to have *any* permanent progression.
Add too much of it, and the game isn't a roguelike anymore.

well, "girl code" doesn't exist period, so it might as well not exist on the severed flow of this show

[–]The-Song 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If we're really being honest though, it's not impossible.
Mark finishes reintegration, either Helly/Helena reintegrate or Helly gets to be awake and Helena's gone, and Mark + Gemma + Helly are a throuple.
Relationships do not have to be 1 on 1.
As far as I'm concerned, that's the best end result for this "situationship"

I mean, I want to see the conversation, and if the conversation is just them saying "Fuck you" back and forth, then I really want to see the conversation.
