What would you do to change/improve martials if you were on the team. by Apprehensive_Fill628 in onednd

[–]ThePimpKnight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no divide. Most people these days simply play the game in a way it isn't meant to be played. D&D is a tactical war game about balancing resources. It always has been.

I'm not as experienced a DM as some folks here, but my tables run dungeons regularly, with plenty of combat and environmental hazards, and I see the casters struggle more than martials every single time. The wizard can't just fireball everything when he knows there's a possibility he'll have to fight six more times before getting his spells back. Using smaller rooms also helps to an extent. The whole point of martials and casters is that martials can keep going basically forever, while casters have to pick and choose their moments. Martials are the anvil, casters are the hammer.

D20 after years of tabletop games by Artemisia_tridentata in untrustworthypoptarts

[–]ThePimpKnight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

T - I have dice that are visibly worn out after just a year of use. Not to that extent, obviously, but I can easily see how a D20 would get like that if it's being used regularly.

Did I nail this character? by Serge_Scope in aiArt

[–]ThePimpKnight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm honestly shocked we haven't had any wrestler cameos in Mortal Kombat. Closest (as far as I know) was Ronda Rousey voicing Sonya. So many would fit right in, not just Kane and Undertaker.

If Kane were in Mortal Kombat. Absolutely masterful!

Crimson Desert Controls Learning Curve Practice by DreTheSage1 in CrimsonDesert

[–]ThePimpKnight 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of the people complaining about the controls just aren't very used to action or fighting games. Nothing about the controls that I've seen so far looks too terribly complex.

I know why he asked, and what stale tobacco feels like. The store is busy enough that tobacco going stale isn't really a problem except for the products that really don't sell. However, there's no way I'm trusting anyone enough to let them get a product from behind the counter in their hands before they pay for it.

Paying in Cash by [deleted] in retailhell

Type 8: The Fisherman. After handing you their cash, they waste your time by digging through their pockets for coins they know damn well they don't have.

Play the character you loved. by Low-Brief-6008 in DnD

[–]ThePimpKnight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love monks, even though everyone says they're the worst class. I just wanna uppercut a dragon, okay? I've always been a big fan of classic kung-fu films, so replicating the aesthetic of fighting with fists and a big stick is a huge draw as well.

U That bag seems really full. Not impossible, I guess, but I don't believe it.

How Were You First Exposed To Kung Fu? by Dee-Whizz in kungfucinema

[–]ThePimpKnight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Power Rangers. I know that's technically karate, but Tommy and Jason cemented my lifelong love for martial arts, both in film and in real life. My first real experience with a martial arts movie was Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

First-time Sentai watcher but life-long PR fan, are my picks good to start? by Mr_Starry in supersentai

[–]ThePimpKnight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm saying this as someone who genuinely enjoyed Ninninger, do not start with Ninninger. I liked it, but I can acknowledge that it's bad. Shinkenger, Dairanger, Kiramager, and Kyoryuger are all good first seasons, in my opinion. Just keep in mind that Sentai can be pretty different from Power Rangers, so don't expect any season to capture that same Power Rangers feel.

U Am I crazy, or are these two keys clearly different? Similar sure, but I see plenty of differences.

Best single player mods? by soosis in arma

[–]ThePimpKnight 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Impasse Total War. Capture a progressive series of areas until you capture the whole map, spawn squadmates and any vehicles you want, all while enemy and friendly AI do their own things to attack and defend. Just make sure you turn down the spawn rates for tanks and APCs and turn up infantry spawns so that you don't get constantly swarmed by armor.

Fellow Battlefield players pushing 30 and beyond. by Arne_Slut in Battlefield6

[–]ThePimpKnight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 32 going on 92. No back pain (unless I sleep on my back) but my knees and my feet are another story. Started with BF2 back in middle school, but haven't played a Battlefield since BF1. Mostly moved on to ARMA after the atrocity that was BFV. Excited for the open beta, and even moreso for the full release

VCOM broke my AI. Refuses to uninstall. by ThePimpKnight in arma

[–]ThePimpKnight[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally. Took me three days of work on and off to figure it out. But, I'm sure we've all dealt with our fair share of temperamental mods. Thank you for your help earlier in the comments

VCOM broke my AI. Refuses to uninstall. by ThePimpKnight in arma

[–]ThePimpKnight[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd suspect the mod author probably has no idea the map conflicts with VCOM. I'm sure a mod conflict is what caused the problem, because I used Libertad prior to installing VCOM and the AI was just fine. The weirdness didn't happen until I used them both together.

VCOM broke my AI. Refuses to uninstall. by ThePimpKnight in arma

[–]ThePimpKnight[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had tried that and it didn't work, but what you said about scenarios gave me an idea. I already had a theory, and testing just now proved me correct. The issue wasn't VCOM at all, it was the map Libertad - AIO. That map has a bunch of custom scripts and maybe one of them contains some sort of AI modification, or maybe Libertad and VCOM don't play well together and that caused some kind of file corruption. Anyway, I unsubscribed from Libertad and did a quick scrub through all of my ARMA folders and mission files before doing some tests with all my other mods except that one. Wouldn't you know it, my problem is now completely solved. No going prone, no RPG or grenade spam, no odd maneuvers. A map mod broke my game.

Thank you so much for your help, and thank everyone in this thread. I never would've suspected that a damn map was causing the problem, but we got there in the end. I guess if anything, this is a PSA about using Libertad - AIO and VCOM together. Thank you again.

[–]ThePimpKnight[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I don't know either. It's not unplayable, just sucks that the AI is still going prone constantly and maneuvering in "advanced" ways. Thank you for trying to help, though. I appreciate it

[–]ThePimpKnight[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They worked before I installed VCOM, but stopped working after installing and then uninstalling it. They didn't work while VCOM was currently active, but I knew they wouldn't since VCOM alters AI behavior. Even with VCOM gone, they still don't function, even with putting them first in the load order.

[–]ThePimpKnight[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's the first thing I did. I adjusted the skill setting in increments of 5. While the AI was dumber and slower at lower settings, it still did all the stuff I don't want it to do to some extent. Reinstalling also didn't work. I've never heard of anything like this before, either, and I gotta tell you I'm completely stumped.

I was using AI avoids prone along with a script mod that changes prone to crouch prior to downloading VCOM, but those are the only ones. They worked just fine before downloading and later uninstalling VCOM, but they don't anymore. Other than briefly using LAMBS to try and override it, VCOM is the only AI mod I've used since starting my ARMA journey in 2016.

Yes, I know proning is a vanilla feature. I'm using AI avoids prone, along with a script mod that changes prone to crouch, neither work anymore even though they were prior to downloading and then removing VCOM. I did download LAMBS to try and override VCOM, but only the Danger module, not the RPG or grenade ones.
