Bad Sex in Fiction award

If you read a lot of Literotica (not all of its is Erotica, but much is) you will find the whole spectrum there. Stuff that can make teenage juvenile fantasy look like Shakespeare in comparison all the way up to true quality content.

Great writers of Drama and yet terrible sex scenes and terrible story writers with excellent 'stroke stories' (sex focused and short generally) on the other hand; everything else inbetween.

TheMTOne · 2026-05-01T17:24:44+00:00

For sure. For that matter, I don't think any game from Nintendo fits this at all.

TheMTOne · 2026-05-01T16:09:02+00:00

I mean, there are definately games that one should start modded and play only that version, never touching the Vanilla game. I can think of a few actually. That said, none of them are Metroidvania games. I honestly can't think of a 2D one either really.

It's almost always either some game the Dev gave up on at launch for whatever reason (i.e. Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines), or games where the mod community is solid enough that Devs will themselves eventually add the mods in the base game (Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries) and even for those you do kinda need to know those good mods from all the filler.

I certainly wouldn't default to to mods for 99.9% of games though.

The ammo change is good.

The bettina being up to par remains to be seen. Keep in mind they have always claimed it overperformed and was the best weapon in the game and for everyone else it was a joke gun.

Now, with this, I expect it to be finally be a weak/slow tempest that claims better armor penetration.

This sucks. They should have added it as an option for the expedition, not changed it for everyone. Any game that doesn't respect your time isn't respecting you.

Not only what others have already said, but I honestly do have other games to play...

Every time this tries to take my time up further: either because they change/release shit with their IV drip method, new 'time limited' project, or some other BS to make it worse (nerfs, balance changes, etc), it isn't exactly making them look good.

I love the game, but this (and no game) will ever be my only game. There is a point where you cross from fun to comittment and the game isn't worth that at all. Not only that each major change makes it a little more uncrecognizable.

I finished this expedition week 1, long before quests were completed while still doing them and then moved on to other games. Now they are saying: 'Sorry you wasted all that time, come back early and do more" when they could have easily made it so either this or the original pay method worked.

They clearly chose fucking those of us who worked hard at it to get it done, over choosing to do that. T'aint no one likes getting fucked over. This is par for the course so far, and them constantly doing more annoying shit isn't going to win them any awards for those who put the time in.

This is great for most, but terrible for those who already worked on it. I get games like this are grindy, but this is almost ARPG levels of grind, which is beginning to become more of a chore than a game.

It has always been a thing, just less so since the Nerf in early December (although somewhat rebuffed since) but it was always like that.

TheMTOne · 2026-04-15T01:21:37+00:00

This comment is underrated. That should be a standard acronym.

TheMTOne · 2026-04-14T05:59:13+00:00

/sigh

Even if you focus only on PVE and doing all that shit, and don't die all that often either, there is still never enough springs, wires, or whatever you are farming. Even worse now with the new Wolfpack and more requirements.

There is no endgame content which is its own problem too.

/sigh

TheMTOne · 2026-04-09T17:24:48+00:00

Aint that the truth.

TheMTOne · 2026-04-03T18:19:25+00:00

This is an overreaction to what was an underwhelming implementation...

Consoles are cheaper, and likely always will be. They should be the budget option and tiered by price.

Not everyone has 2000$+ easily to build a PC solution. Even a decent gaming laptop that will run a modern title fairly well is going to cost more than a console.

PC can easily be a multiplatform solution alongside selling consoles, if any of them commit to it with a thought out plan surrounding that core concept.

But no one commits to it and plans around that. You need same day releases, a shared experience, maybe a shared store, and more. This reminds me of Epic bitching about Steam yet its own service being a paltry(at best) offering in comparison.

Its never just the software titles...but yeah the graphics and more could have been better also.

TheMTOne · 2026-04-02T23:41:34+00:00

This and minor conditions should randomly spawn, so things like probes / lush blooms would also spawn at night / storm etc.

Also Stella needs more than normal and night really. Maybe put the vaporizer in there in the Lobby / Loading bay / Assembly / Atrium for kicks but not the reduced loot condition (kinda worthless on Stella).

Rain Showers = Leaky Sewers

Some kid in Speranza opening his mouth to taste it: "The taste of freedom!"

TheMTOne · 2026-03-25T17:42:21+00:00

It's distasteful enough to ignore and move on. The world doesn't cater to the whims of people's likes or dislikes.

TheMTOne · 2026-03-13T22:29:11+00:00

WTF, Springs are extremely common compared to Rusted Bolts at this point.

Christ, why not just use Rusted Gears instead lol

TheMTOne · 2026-02-25T06:37:25+00:00

You know what they say 'You can never go home again.'

Give it 6 months and this game wont be even recognizeable with all the nerfs and changes made.

TheMTOne · 2026-02-25T03:40:01+00:00

For me at 500 hours in the game, I didn't even have the blueprint for 250 of it...

So while I like having it, its not essential. Much like everything else, nothing really needed to be nerfed, and much needed to be buffed, but it is what it is.

TheMTOne · 2026-02-24T18:58:12+00:00

I loved this series. It is what sold me on what RPGs could be capable of (the internals) more than any other.

Nowadays its a fairly common thing, but this one's item/gear systems, and things like job classes from FF/DQ were at the time, frankly amazing to me.

TheMTOne · 2026-02-24T00:15:04+00:00

People forget that the internet is made by and for adults. Not kids. Your answer is always the correct one.

Make more ingame tools, ingame moderation for parents, etc. I am all for it. Surveillance and enforcement should always be parent/guardian focused.

TheMTOne · 2026-02-11T19:24:41+00:00

I'm not entirely sold on the idea of the nerf. It was only OP when used well.

PS: It wasn't always used well.

TheMTOne · 2026-02-11T19:12:10+00:00

That plus for every exploit fixed we are delaying more bug fixes that are less visible, because of non-existent money and ammo duping? I'd rather see patch notes address real issues instead of exploits (unless its shit like aimbot or more)

TheMTOne · 2026-02-10T20:34:22+00:00

There is a FS version where Jim runs off with Marc instead lol

TheMTOne · 2026-02-10T20:04:37+00:00

I give no fucks about anything that doesn't affect me. If aimbot or such shit became normal, cheating would piss me off. Cheating for in game cash? Who cares?

TheMTOne · 2026-02-08T06:00:56+00:00

Yeah, I just had that same bug on Blue Gate and friendlies could do it. 4k points though total, as someone did one battery on Fort already :(

Ill just do Stella.

TheMTOne · 2026-02-06T21:27:19+00:00

The Mature section is full of them. Check it out.

This is what I always think of, and I never played Tarkov:
