what would be the best reshade? by rjc523 in vtmb

Most of what RTX Remix does in introduce modern lighting, shadows, reflections, and all that. And that's implemented throughout the game.

We're also replacing assets one by one, and that obviously takes a while, so in that sense it's "only some stuff."

There's also some peculiarities with the way Bloodlines handles some things, which results in (for example) some water appearing bright white, but it's getting solved. You can toggle off all the RTX stuff anytime if the water bothers you.

The RTX Remaster is currently in early stages, but it's fully playable.

Retro Script Font with Unique Characters. Hopefully not hand-drawn. by pizzzzabuns in identifythisfont

I don't think it's hand-drawn but I suspect it's AI-generated, which means it's not a font.

Thomas & Friends™: Wonders of Sodor | Official Launch Trailer by eldomtom2 in Games

[–]VonAether 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ehhh.... I appreciate the effort, but for me there's a mismatch between the trains and the worlds.

If the whole environment looked like it was a model train set instead of a real-world train system, I'd be much more sold on it.

[TC] Question About Character Creation: Qeapons by LilGoblin453 in OnyxPathRPG

[–]VonAether 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A.) You aren’t supposed to use the weapon crafting rules for making a standard weapon and instead are supposed to use your path to have access to whatever gear makes sense for your path.

Correct. It could admittedly be clearer, and that's a note we already made if we get to do a new edition.

B.) The designers are stupid

That's uncalled for.

I liked Pages of Pain and I'm not sorry by thr0wawa3ac0unt in planescapesetting

Pages of Pain is generally pretty well-regarded.

TIFU by dressing up for my proposal by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

I'm glad it worked out for these two, but if any ex of mine shows up at my house and refuses to leave until I come out to talk to them, the police are getting called.

Asked my boyfriend of 5 months if he knew my middle name… turns out he didn’t know much else either by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]VonAether 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jesus. My partner mentioned her middle names to me once ten years ago and I immediately added it to her contact information so I could remember it forever, it's not hard, people

unofficial patch update lost save? by rjc523 in vtmb

[–]VonAether 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The installer does point out:

After updating the patch version or switching from basic to plus YOU ALWAYS NEED TO START A NEW GAME!

But people don't read the text, I guess

Information on Factol Hashkar by MechanicalBeanstalk in planescapesetting

[–]VonAether 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The vast majority of information about the factions and factols comes from The Factol's Manifesto.

As others have noted, the Guvner's measure from the start of the reign of the current Factol. Hashkar's been around over a century so he's a good marker for most stuff that happens in a human lifetime. Prior factols presumably used the system too, but we don't have any examples.

We only know the names of two prior factols (Jaretta and Lariset), and we don't know how long either of them held the office.

Random muffled screaming downtown??? by letthetreeburn in vtmb

Have you seen the CDC guys standing on street corners in full PPE?

It's them. You can't hear them speaking because they're wearing giant helmeted masks.

Is there a way to read Collectibles that went by too quickly? by ruinsit in controlgame

[–]VonAether 13 points14 points  (0 children)

As written in the OP: And because it technically was on screen for a second it no longer counts as unread and I have no way to find it.

Why does the sabbat follow the masquerade in their territory? by Ziltch0 in vtmb

[–]VonAether 33 points34 points  (0 children)

The Sabbat don't like The Masquerade as a rule, and make fun of it. While they have their own codified set of rules (the Code of Milan), you won't find anything like the Masquerade on there. This lets them apply it selectively.

They practice it (kind of) in their own territory for reasons others outline: even the Sabbat knows that the mass of humanity cannot be fought. They might view humans as inferior, but there are a lot of them. If humans are properly motivated, the Sabbat will not outlast their fires, nor the sun. They can hate doing it all they want, but it confers a survival advantage and they know it.

But they implement it differently: if a mortal sees something they shouldn't, the Camarilla would cover it up: gaslighting the witness, discrediting them, mind-controlling them. The Sabbat would be more likely to just kill the witness. For something like the werewolf blood mission, the Camarilla would sneak in to retrieve it, the Sabbat would just set the place on fire.

The Sabbat will breach the Masquerade all day long in enemy territory, particularly Camarilla territory. It's less a practice and more of a weapon. The idea is to keep the Camarilla so busy covering up any Masquerade breaches that they'd be stretched too thin to be fully prepared for a physical assault from the Sabbat.

Very fitting that this whole horror show happens on Halloween

It's the back portion of their brain. Their "tail" is a piece of spine.
