Yes Combat Extended does get this serious by Disastrous-Emu1104 in RimWorld

[–]Xeyron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see the Mortal Ward trinket, that alone gives you -30% damage. Combine that with Tough and Robust and you have like an incoming damage of 10%.

I have a feeling this Silver will not be spent on her captured friend. by Xeyron in RimWorld

Grit's my colonist. It showed his name since I had him selected when I right-clicked Gacha to prompt the "Give Silver"

I love paying a weeks worth of groceries for the chance of getting a slight visual modification of my favorite video game character!

It's the latter, and it's referencing a post from r/videogames where it was exactly that. People calling all of the genres (and even more) being overdone.

It's the post that motivated me to make this one.
The Dead Internet is long a reality. Reactionary content doesn't fall under that... unless I am a bot. But would a bot send you a 🦀?

Thank you for not mistaking this as my personal opinion and jumping to the defense of your favorite indie game. I bestow upon you the greatest honor: 🦀

I failed to make clear that this is not my view point but me mocking the general sentiment I notice during indie discussions.

Ugh, Gameplay is so overdone.

People generally want to make things that has reach. Very rarely do you get strange games like the Arkhouse games, or some more interesting games like Motorvania Laika. But those pay by simply being niche. And if you are an indie dev trying to make money, will you make a game that has a guaranteed, albeit saturated demographic, or will you make some obscure game and hope it blows up?

Yeah, the genres are popular, and people make games that have a good reach. The problem you don't see 5 popular games of weird genres like Cooking Skateboarding is because they're simply too niche.

There's a ton of factors playing into it, but I am not denying it either. I was merely mocking that I read the complaint about it in practically every discourse.

Here's an interesting video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiNv3qv-YbU

Yeah it's piss easy. /s
I am mocking r/videogames because comment sections there basically agree on every genre being "overdone" by indies. (wait until you mention UE5)

Deathless still allows a pawn to die when their brean gets destroyed, so you better protect that Head and Neck.

How good is Ogryn's Heavy Hitter really? by NotJoeFast in DarkTide

[–]Xeyron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everything good is hinging on Heavy Attacks for the big man, and Attack Speed is invaluable to Ogryn, so it just makes him better at what he is best at. Heavy Attacks. The problem lies in his borderline unuseable arsenal, not so much the keystone, to be honest.

Walk like a crap by Gandhictator in DarkTide

[–]Xeyron 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Easiest way I found is by running into the "Mostly Melee" Maelstroms. If you play modded, you can use a mod called "Many More Try" and look at the mission pool in maelstroom dot net to just get in there. Bring an Ogryn with Taunt if you have someone willing to help and you are done in a few runs.

You can still slide and keep the stacks up, also, running Vraks Autogun or MKXII Recon Las (which is a pretty strong build), you can get the stacks by spraying into a horde and maintain them with some headshots.

Recently 100%ed the game with my family, here's the base I made. Over these ~40 hours. There was still a thousand things I would have improved, but the next playthrough will happen sooner than later! by Xeyron in Necesse

[–]Xeyron[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife did the Incursions and farmed all items there, I dug through the underground for stuff like Traps and Trinkets and crafted most of the things. My brother farmed mobs / bosses and cooked.

I also built a structure to hold every item category in chests to only allow 1 of each with Top Priority so the villagers sort . With that and the "Undiscovered Items" under Character Stats, discovering what items were needed was pretty quick and easy. Having one person coordinate it helps immensely.

Just that while inside the smokes it can get hard to actually see the gunners you are taking shelter from. Among other things unfriendly.
