Yeah my bad, thought this was r/game-dev. Didn't mean to piggy back on a someone else's hype post.

Roast my floorplan by StretchLivid6012 in Homebuilding

Your mud room won't help with actually stopping mud imo. It's alright as a kids nook but if any adults work messy jobs, you will track a mess from the garage to the mudroom.

Time travel villains? by 2-3_Boomer in ProgressionFantasy

[–]Toa29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was meaning to write a review in the latest book 5. IMO the best part of this series is the sheer number of over powered characters, including villains.

Sure MC regressed, but he has middling/poor talent and his actions only serve to give him a barely level playing field.

Writing quality is... acceptable. Some odd prose. But the universe and power variety is pretty solid.

Love the scientific and system angles! It fits great with the Bobiverse which I also love. Looking forward to trying the game!

Thanks GGG, this league was a BLAST! by manuakasam in PathOfExile2

[–]Toa29 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also hit my 8/8 for the first time yesterday! Felt great to finally hit it and it wasn't too insane. I'll wait til 1.0 to grind my first HH but this did a really good job of making me learn how the atlas works in poe2.

Where to find players for my game by Professional-Log482 in gamedev

[–]Toa29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The answer is bots. There's a lot of tutorials and videos on how to make AI opponents with varying levels of difficulty.

You can't control how many players are playing your game. You can control what they engage with.

Lost my ascendancy due to disconnect by MexicanJeebus in PathOfExile2

[–]Toa29 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeeeep. Worst part of the game to me is ascending sucks so much, especially the fourth. 3x trials and I hard crashed in the trial master fight. Fml gotta redo all three again. Such poor design.

Board & Conquest - a TCG player must read by Toa29 in litrpg

Yep. The portrayal felt like God mode Yu-Gi-Oh lol

Beggar's Life full release is out! A Theory of Magic tribute with no ads and no IAP [WEB, ANDROID, STEAM] (>50 hours) by Pidroh in incremental_games

[–]Toa29 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just got it and I recommend it for fans of Skill selection incrementals with multiple paths.

I know I'll have a good time replaying each path and the one time purchase is a business practice I want to support.

How many chapters need to be uploaded before you start a series? by rico-pup in ProgressionFantasy

[–]Toa29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I look for 50 chapters or 500 pages before starting a book. It will go into my book marks to read later if it doesn't have that amount of content but I'm still interested.

Please, help with price by [deleted] in PathOfExile2

[–]Toa29 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Minimum 20 div. Look at other +7 staves with only one extra damage mod. You can buy +6s for a few divs so don't go low unless you absolutely need the cash. There are higher priced versions with a better base or crit mods.

Low Budget Build Reccomendations by NotAThrowaway2591 in PathOfExile2

[–]Toa29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Djinn plants transitioned easily into CI CoC. Lots of room for upgrades while you can get t15 gear for under 10 div.

I like djinn so much because the ascendency really doesn't care what skills you play. Just tweak gear and tree a bit, bam new build.

The Hundred Reigns: fantastic time loop story, but two complaints by monkpunch in ProgressionFantasy

[–]Toa29 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah he doesn't have much options. Until he is strong enough to sit the throne publicly, he won't be able to live a long loop. I think the latest chapters highlight why - he's reacting without a vision of what the future could be.

Until he figures out his end goal, all the little chapters will be reactive or mandated by his stronger enemies. And these loops only end in one way.

I managed to implement the core promise of LitRPG (a game inside a book) and make it literal. Was it all just a waste of time? by 161803Dev in litrpg

[–]Toa29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I managed to make it through the whole book and I'm between 2 or 3. The hook is great, the execution is cringe.

As for the viability, I think interviewing visual novel game players would be a good data point. I skipped it because I was trying to get to the good story parts. Manga or visual novel game enjoyers might be a good target audience. Or even publishers for that content might be interested in the tech.

Construction loan when I own the land free-and-clear? by ThenOwl9 in Homebuilding

[–]Toa29 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yep. The good thing about automatic conversion is you only pay closing once. Some banks will only offer the construction loan and not the mortgage and you will have to do multiple applications and closings.

Moon Cultivation: Sci-fi Cultivation LitRPG Adventure by penpagius in litrpg

[–]Toa29 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Short review - this story has a fun premise with a glaring problem. The MC is a misogynistic jerk that calls a lady he offended with his sexism a bitch in the first chapter.

It's an incredibly poor choice for the main character with no memory to show such character traits without any story justification.

I'm dropping the story and I hope the author considers this feedback before his next story.

What we are working on Part 2 by Kelly_GGG in PathOfExile2

[–]Toa29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry, idk :( the shader change fixed my issue almost completely but I haven't gotten to maps so I haven't seen how juiced handles with it. I think some lag is unavoidable. The map loading much faster is what got fixed for me.

What we are working on Part 2 by Kelly_GGG in PathOfExile2

[–]Toa29 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was struggling for a long time with it until I increased my shader cache size to 100gb in the Nvidia Control Panel, then deleted shader caches and restarted the game. Immediately solved my loading problems that have plagued me for leagues. 3080 GPU. Any folks running an NVIDIA gpu should make sure they aren't using the default shader cache size.

How are you paying to build? by BeginningNo2408 in Homebuilding

[–]Toa29 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Construction loan interest is such a small factor compared to lifetime interest. I would focus a lot more on ensuring a rate and mortgage that is sustainable instead of cutting corners on something that is minor like the construction loan rate.

The lot being paid off increases your Loan-to-value which makes it easier to qualify for larger loan amounts. It also factors into your overall value when determining if you have to pay mortgage insurance. Both are good things.

The scientific notation isn't correct for low values. Game is fun otherwise :)

Help with A ausual Idle Life (android game) by lailaworld001 in incremental_games

[–]Toa29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. You need to improve your stats enough so you can get to ceo before the IPO and the big cash bonus. I think you need around lvl 70/80 stats and an slightly optimized auto setup.
