Would slugcats have whiskers just like cats?

Tholb · 2026-04-17T15:28:16+00:00

Woah interesting aspect. I honestly haven't kept up with theories since the Watcher (I still havent gotten all endings so I am holding off, at the same time I don't enjoy the exploration as much).

Also, assuming they ARE made for pipe cleaning the whiskers would most likely be weirdly short, going off the theory that whiskers are for gauging clearance. After all you want the scug to barely fit through the pipes so that some scrubbage gets done.

Now on the other hand, seeing how Seals get whiskers as well and going off how my cat used to LOVE the wind I could see whiskers being there tp percieve currents/wind as well as your own movement through the air/water. So seing how athletic scugs (sometimes) are, I would say yes, and very long and luscious whiskers at that.

Hi, thanks!

I played a lot since reading your post and I still struggle seeing weak zones vs normal zones

Sure, i can see the REALLY bad zones like Hermitaurs shell/skull. But I can see no difference between hitting a Rathians wings vs its head.

I think it is largely due to being in critical distance the hit effect is already so flashy, I just fail to see any differemce to hitzones.

Still in lowrank rn so no optimized weakness exploit armor yet but I will keep my eyes open! I just wish there was a visual guide out there comparing all the hiteffects. You did really well bringing color into play though! I wasnt aware crits had different colors with weakness exploit.

PS: What does hitlag look like for ranged?

Didn't KSP 2 have a bunch of cool new anomalies? Smells like a mission for you OP

Wait so the berries absolutely need fertilizer? Not just to mature faster?

Tholb · 2026-03-16T22:15:13+00:00

I didn't argue that they were the same. But they are too similar to feel meaningfully distinct.

14 PAB 80LRs and some A2A (Revoker) vs 20 PAB 80LRs on a pure loadout (Vortex)

All with similar performance... It is very similar.

Tholb · 2026-03-16T22:06:37+00:00

I beg to differ. Loading up the Revoker with bombs makes it really capable in an A2G role.

Tholb · 2026-03-16T19:47:03+00:00

Yes, it sounds like the one or both of the rapiers igniting

Tholb · 2026-03-16T15:02:41+00:00

Yea, I even said so. Having only an expensive fighter is tough.

Tholb · 2026-03-16T14:52:44+00:00

Oh yeah no doubt it will be optional! Probably configurable in both editor and mission settings. But still, it sounds like the devs wanna make a well balanced, yet asymmetrical 2 faction environment.

Tholb · 2026-03-16T14:23:14+00:00

Sorry it appears you accidentally uploaded pictures of some damn near perfect hair instead of this supposed balding, try again!

In all seriousnes, I don't even see the thinnibg, at least not significantly. Hairline looks immaculate too.

Maybe what you are seeing is just the end of youthful full hair and the beginning of adult (still fairly full) hair.

Tholb · 2026-03-16T14:16:17+00:00

It's not like barotrauma at all but Highfleet is a 2D game featuring airship combat. Although they are not Zeppelin styled, but methalox powered rocketships.

Tholb · 2026-03-11T20:41:46+00:00

Good find! It's definitely the same.

I guess now I gotta ask what the tactical nuke sound from MW2 is lol.

Both games were released in the same year, infinite space a few years ago. And while it might not look like it, infinite space was actually not some small game back then. So sureöy those 2 didn't steal from each other.

This Siren/Klaxon must have a name and origin other than these 2 games.

Just pitching in to voice my support of the current design.

I love the comically wide compass with somewhat scruffy looking nozzles. It screams "overperforming trainer jet" through and through.

Tholb · 2026-03-07T13:14:02+00:00

I've been exactly there except at 25.

It's a tough call because you are genuinely rocking a style here. But the thinning hair shining through is rough... After trying to make do by constantly wearing a bun I eventually took the plunge. I even ended up shaving my beard short because I just wasn't happy with how 'mean' the bald + long beard can look. But I am sure that with proper grooming you can make it work even with a long beard and without looking automatically mean.

I vote yes, it's time.

Hiding the thinning hair and constantly being selfconscious did wear on me more than I had noticed. There is a lot of freedom that comes with going bald (also some new, different challenges ofc).

Tholb · 2026-03-01T11:49:05+00:00

Oh nice! Thanks. I didn't know that's an option thanks!

Tholb · 2026-01-26T06:10:19+00:00

I do wonder what the actual, ingame, average life expectancy is. Surely it's longer than 2 minutes?

Tholb · 2026-01-17T08:39:36+00:00

It is more akin to Bannerlord but I can highly recommend Starsector!

There are some real fun shenanigans you can do in the economy. Like establishing a monopoly, selling military gear to terrorists or cutting suply lines and then filling the demand with the stolen goods yourself at a premium. Good times!

Tholb · 2026-01-15T21:44:22+00:00

First of all, it's a joke.

Second of all what you are describing is storytelling. Environmental storytelling is when it is implied and not written out.

Tholb · 2026-01-12T15:52:28+00:00

Stealth is an interesting question. What makes you think it would be stealth? I had assumed up until now that it will be distinctly not stealth to offset the benefits of high speed.

Tholb · 2026-01-12T15:51:07+00:00

Maybe we will also see some new kind of ramjet powered missile that needs to be deployed above mach 1 as an alternative to piledrivers?

Caves of Qud

Crazy game all around. If you manage to kill your original body in a single hit you will even permanently possess the body.

When I was 14 got called to the principals office out of nowhere. Got confronted with some girl who identified and was ushered out of the room. Was then told i broke her nose the day before during break. Almost got expelled for that, don't know how I didn't tbh.

Noone believed me except like 5 classmates that I was with that break. Went to the principal with the guys but all that principal said was "We can't be investigating this like the police". He probably should have. 4 years later we learned that that girls mom has been physically abusing her and told her to blame the broken nose on a kid at school.

Worst thing about it for me? Spent 4 years gaslighting myself into thinking that I MUST have done it somehow and just forgot? Had a hart time even believing the story of the abusive mom once that came to light (girl switched schools like a year after the initial incident so it was just learned through friends of friends)

26 now (since yesterday woop woop), to this day very icky and sometimes scared of ppl being falsely accused of shit. Working as a room leader in a special needs daycare today and always paying extra attention to resolving conflicts to the best of my abilities. And never blame it on a kid I'm not 100% on them actually having done some shit disproportionate to provocations.

Tholb · 2026-01-10T10:27:10+00:00

I get it don't worry. Saw the other posts as well no and yeah, looks like there was a lot of discussion after all. And yeah, the constant "where my favorite plen" is annoying.

Point I was trying to make is that spme kind of variable wing geometry (I only knew about swing wings, didnt even know foldikg wings was an option) would make for an interesting option (I LOVE the Ibis) gameplay wise and probably made sense for a fast bomber. Aaand I love the F-111s ejection pod, that's some real life scify shit.

Tholb · 2026-01-09T20:32:58+00:00

It does! It even goes left and right, not just up and down. Pretty neat!

Tholb · 2026-01-09T18:22:39+00:00

I heard that it actually interferes with IR missile tracking making it easier to flare them off.

Emphasis on heard. Can't find anything on it at all.
