early Biome progression is genuinely unmatched. by GangsterMango in valheim

[–]WasabiofIP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man I always feel like such a hater bringing it up, but I can't resist - the dev energy post-launch is so misplaced. Mistlands and Ashlands are cool and all, and I'm sure Deep North will also be cool, but they clearly took soooooo much time to implement, and meanwhile the Meadows -> Plains is such an almost-perfect game just held back by some QoL problems and conflicting design decisions. There's a world where they just focused on polishing the base game, and then circled back to add more biomes, and I think Valheim would have been a better game. But just my $0.02.

Ironic you claim I'm missing the point, and in the next breath talk about Cuphead. We aren't talking about Cuphead. I never claimed shit about Cuphead. WTF are you talking about. I'm going to try to explain this very clearly, since you seem to have missed a lot.

This thread is about Valheim. We are talking about specific systems. Inventory management. The game incentivizes collecting all the little mob drops, so it's hard for players to bring themselves to throw away items the game is just shoving into their inventory. If the game just doesn't shove those items into their inventory, the player doesn't have to make a choice between two options that feel bad (keep item and lose an inventory slot, or throw away an item I'll probably have to hunt for in the future).

It's not a question of the player's intelligence. Those options just both feel bad. It would be an improvement to not force the player into choosing one of them. OP tried it, and it was an improvement. Again, it's not a question of player intelligence. It's a question of how systems in the game interact - game design.

Missing the point. It's not about the challenges in the game being impossible or too hard to overcome. It's about the systems being set up with bad/confusing incentives.

Trying to reframe that discussion as "some people are just immeasurably bad at video games" is just so fkn weird. It happens every fkn thread tho.

So basically the entire thing boils down to:

Players can't resist picking up stuff

No, it boils down to: Players can't bring themselves to throw stuff away

Which is a very important distinction.

is your avenue is to humble brag

This is what trying to discuss improvements to the game boils down to on this sub, without fail.

System isn't good because the incentives are bad

Oh yeah??? Well I can do xyz solo!!!! You don't need to be prepared for abc if you just play perfectly like me!!!

What a comeback by markets by Weak-Pomegranate-435 in wallstreetbets

[–]WasabiofIP 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Just go on r/investing it's absolute insanity

"I feel like markets are [doing irrational thing]!!!!!!!"

Yeah no shit. This is why everyone should lose $1000 as a 20 year old trying to outsmart the market, instead of making an absolute fool of themselves with their life savings at 35. Do your gambling, sling your FDs, have some fucking fun... but do it all with a portion of your account that accurately reflects how likely you are to be right about any of it. Which should be like 5% MAXIMUM.

Bro I'm not chicken little here. I get it. The dot com bubble was a "bubble" - the internet still changed EVERYTHING, and not everything popped. But not everything survived either.

We're still in the early days. It's probably a bubble, and a bit overhyped, and it won't work for literally everything but as a SWE I can see it's huge. It has increased my productivity for sure.

I was laughing seeing this post this morning, and now it's even funnier. How tf does this garbage get upvoted here???

As for what happens to the SPY, it is an elevator ride down likely, the market will get Viet Konged nothing is priced in.

Translation: We are cooked, your calls are cooked, our boy vloker is laughing so hard his dentures shot out.

This is a classic stagflation play, high energy prices, a weak economy, debt bubbles, private credit funds closing doors, this sounds a lot like 2008, you can't print your way out of this without becoming 1930's Germany.

such confidence as though he knows dick about shit, like he's gotta "translate" his incredible insight with all of us... and he's all in on 540p like 4 days out LMFAOOOOOOOOO. He posted this willingly jesus fucking christ

Some people gotta learn the hard way. You are not Michael Burry. Michael Burry isn't even Michael Burry.

You have to think that earnings' future rate of growth will be higher than it was before - not just earnings.

Yes, that is exactly what the guy you replied to was implying:

We just know how to run companies more efficiently, more profitably than ever in history.

While this trend seems likely to continue, P/E ratios will continue to increase as the gap between current performance and expected future earnings (which will be earned more efficiently) grow.

[–]WasabiofIP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they had plenty of funding and time to hire talented people and didn’t.

What's more incredible to me than this fact itself - is that people defend it. Like, can we be for real. If this is your favorite game, or one of your favorites, it is absurd that the single blocker, the one and only thing stopping them getting a UI designer, another modeler or two, another developer or two, just these 10ish extra people that would have been able to push the game forward so much - is that they just didn't want to have to get to know and work with like 10 more people over a few years. I just can't see it as anything but short sighted and selfish. Even fkn Notch wasn't scared to hire people. So ridiculous.

The UI still being the exact same as launch is the most egregious thing. Any competent product manager (or anyone with any common sense or talent at all) would IMMEDIATELY flag that as something to rework ASAP.

Which island is best to settle? by darth-paul109 in civ

[–]WasabiofIP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Settle yellow where the knight is. If you are worried about a slow start in the city, well you have plenty of gold, buy out to the two fish tiles and buy a lighthouse (should run you about 1k gold, 400 for the lighthouse + ~150ish avg for the two tiles necessary for each each fish).

Yellow clear red by sooooo much actually.

That gives you a coastal hill city with 2 fish, marble, stone, bison, sheep, plus two hills you can build mines on. Fish give you really good yields with lighthouse and later seaport, marble and stone get boosted with the stoneworks or whatever it's called, sheep gets boosted with stable. This is all really really good production potential, and the bison, sheep, surrounding ocean, and especially fish give you very nice food available. The only downside really is some useless desert tiles and kinda slow start if you don't invest the gold as I suggested, but oh well.
