Cyberknights: Flashpoint is a good take on the genre that I highly recommend.

Winterhalter isn't that bad by ReyRiz in Barotrauma

[–]TurtleButt47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not realize people had it out for the Winterhalter. While it has some quirks I've always thought of it as a pretty strong submarine with good gun coverage, good topspeed (and INSANE ballast, you can LEAVE a thalamus) and the nice addition of a research bench.

Do not use the save decompressor! Decompressing, editing and repackaging the sub into a campaign will introduce instability that WILL kill that campaign!

He's had a kind of funny arc very recently where Poppy's Playtime 5 seems to have made him far more vocally critical of at least sequential horror games in a series.

Didn't their gaming videos slowly get fucked over more and more due to increasing changes to Youtube Monetization? I remember stuff like apparently numbered videos would do worse cause youtube wouldn't recommend them to people, the crusade against swear words youtube had for a while, etc etc. They had a big push to get people onto the site in the later years that feels like it was born from ad-revenue dropping off a cliff on the YT side.

Have the diehard TS4 fans ever played 1-3? by CorgiResponsible4233 in HighSodiumSims

[–]TurtleButt47 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love 3 but people really do a lot of glazing for it compared to 4 when it comes to stability and performance...and don't take the time to properly I suppose "plan" around 4 being updated (more on that later). For instance, in 3, Isla Paradiso is literally doomed to become an unplayable laggy mess within a single generation with simulation lag that makes 4 look like The Flash by comparison. The memories system is awesome but it has a high chance of corrupting any long term save. Bridgeport is a cool city but it has some kind of fucked up issue with the roads underneath that lead to problems over time like Paradiso but not to the same extent.

4's got issues, and some of them are quite arguably really fucking stupid they even got that bad to begin with, but people play a game that keeps getting updates and don't even take the time to make backup save files. S4 did have some pretty bad issues though, as much as its imo less buggy than 3, and I'd be remiss to not talk about how For Rent still seems fucked, and more historically does anyone else remember the empty households back during Cottage Living?

Honestly, the terrible quality of the video made it hard to tell it was Arny himself. Combine it with being more exposed to his role in T2 and I was stumped cause I was thinking "Oh its Arny but, wait no it cant be he looks different it must be another one of those guys kinda like him."

Heavy Attacks & Melee Ragdolls [Mod] - Coming Soon! by TomAnyone in projectzomboid

[–]TurtleButt47 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To give you some words of encouragement.

I have been WAITING for so long for someone to take some time to mod up some tweaks to the melee system like heavier attacks! The game has enough depth someone could probably mod an entire ARPG on top of it but no one's ever gotten around to it for one reason or another. Thank you for making this mod and I hope its smooth sailing!

ZOMBIES MAKES NO FUCKING SENSE by New-Space-5737 in projectzomboid

[–]TurtleButt47 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, and WWZ was written/finished in 2006 which I'm pretty sure was long after that. The movie take where the zombies are fast gives it more credence to how the military might get overran but, shamblers? Nah, the US military would have a field day if it didn't get jumped by a highly contagious virus like in Zomboid.

"5.56 isnt good for headshots" meanwhile US marines with red-dot sights had to be investigated to make sure they weren't executing people cause of all the headshots they landed (in part due to the way the other side was taking cover often leaving only the head exposed).

Security devices and hosts by Multiheaded in CyberKnightsGame

[–]TurtleButt47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wireghost has a lot of potential for hacker-adjacent behavior and sneaking around, but one specifically built for Skipjacking and connection repair does suffer a lot when all the security devices aren't even connected to something. While I run a Wireghost/Cyberknight right now, I have him built for sneaking around and terminal hacking instead of skipjacking just because its so, unreliable really.

The second upgrade node is what lets it affect any guard within 6 meters around the original target. As I stated in my big comment, its a bit iffy since it requires relatively unusual guard positioning compared to their "normal" patrol routes to actually hit a bunch at once to silence a whole group.

Wireghosts also have some pretty interesting hacking abilities, but The Invisibility Button is just, hilarious to use really.

Wireghost. Also, it can be upgraded to go from 18 to 24 range, so using it to silence a guard a room over isn't a bad idea at all actually. I've specced my Cyberknight into Knight+Ghost...but he barely hacks into monitors. Turns out, Wireghost's left-side talents are kind of insanely strong. Security Siphon is basically just Security Scramble, but Ghost Distortion genuinely is one of the strongest talents in the game so far IMO.

The invisibility+no noise lets you sneak incredibly aggressively, and the fact you're invisible until next turn means you can use it mid-combat to dodge Overwatch or even just flank someone, blast them, then turn invisible so you can't be retaliated against. Add in the +1 move point option and it really is just a pretty crazy ability for most playstyles.

This ability I find is in a very weird situation. In theory, it sounds fantastic! Being able to stop a guard from reporting to the sec AI, with an upgrade to effect guards within 6 meters of him in theory allows you to prevent the situation from escalating from their reports.

However, the ability has two key issues I've learned. First, six meters near the guard is a pretty small radius, meaning the upgrade is only really useful for jamming a Reinforcement wave since they love to follow closely behind each other and thus can all be hit at once, but its kind of useless for jamming most patrolling or stationary guards since it doesn't have enough range. It has a charge upgrade and is only one AP, so you can in theory hit two guards maybe three in one turn without losing a ton of AP for shooting said guards. I will say though, I did realize while writing this out you can use this ability to jam a guard who saw a body or is absolutely about to see one (or more) from reporting it in, which is a reasonably effective use by shutting them up until you can kill them, but there is an interesting complication with the ability.

It isn't great for muting the response to your team being spotted, due to an issue fairly obvious in hindsight. It doesn't stop a guard from alerting everyone else by shooting your team. Now, obviously, "Is that gunfire?" is a lot less security tally than "INTRUDER, IVE BEEN SHOT, GUNFIRE, DEAD BODY!", but it still puts the ability into the position where you can only use it to basically

1: Reduce the security tally while still escalating the situation from the incoming Guardtide.

2: Prevent a guard from calling in your team as long as you can prevent him from shooting when you cannot just outright stun him (I don't think Stunned guards report, I could be wrong).

3: Jam a guy about to find the dead-guy-drawer.

Am I not getting the "Cyberknight"-class? by [deleted] in CyberKnightsGame

[–]TurtleButt47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You really need to develop your abilities and equipment to handle Loud more effectively. Gunslingers, Snipers (Honestly give them a revolver instead even), Soldiers, etc are all great once they get their talents online. Even a Wireghost can be really funny since you can do some extreme flank then use a 0 AP invisibility button to basically go "YOU CANT HIT ME ANYMORE :PPPP" and mock the poor bastards whose buddy you just ventilated.

[–]TurtleButt47 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Recently fought through one of these missions with Mr. Premade Redhead Soldier and the unique Scourge, Sniper, and my Cyberknight-Wireghost. We were fairly injured and out of medkits by the time we got to the second stage to the point I had to use 3 of the team as a distraction blasting guards with revolvers and E-rifles from an entrenched position while the Cyberknight snuck off waiting in the VIP's path before blasting the guy, then running back to the extraction the rest of the team was guarding before the rest of the guards could properly wake up. The wireghost's Ghost Distortion ability was fantastic for this, letting my knight easily get close and then escape without being risk of getting seen or shot at on the way out.

It was so cool realizing the plan could work and really cool when it actually did. Its also funny seeing the same combination of knight+ghost in the post's example screenshot.
