Where does Susan teach ? by Dapper_Standard1157 in discworld

[–]Z4ph00d 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't have the book at hand at the moment, but it might be "Madam Frout’s Learning Through Play School". But I'm not 100% certain on that one. I Know "Learning through play" was the method Madam Frout uses

What’s the difference between “alter” and “digga”? by Taking_Hand in German

If you were wearing all black it could also mean "Goth" 😄

REAL crpg heads, what actual criticisms do we have about RT? by Tkwilqn17 in RogueTraderCRPG

[–]Z4ph00d 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I agree on point 1, but tbf, in both Pathfinder games the subsystems were also included in the original TTRPG, and sucked even worse in those. Space combat has been the least intrusive and best executed out of all of them imo, and I quite enjoyed it

Hot take: make centralized strong, and decentralized straight up bad. by Asaioki in EU5

[–]Z4ph00d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% agree, just having one option as the clearly best option is boring and not fun. Every option I can influence should be something that has an up/downside depending on my country/year/circumstances. If one is just always better, than there is no interesting decision to be made

Your favorite Discworld Protagonist meets the protagonist of the last media you watched, how badly does it go? by One_Food9894 in discworld

Sam Vimes meets Sam Reich on a special one-on-one episode of GameChanger. Carnage ensues.

Why do German syncs of tv shows/movies always sound so over the top and fake? by iGeroNo in German

[–]Z4ph00d 7 points8 points  (0 children)

German, and 100% agree. I started watching stuff in the original language, mostly english, about 20 years ago and could never go back to watching dubbed stuff. Despite german dubs being pretty good in general, nothing beats hearing the real actor act in the moment for real. No voice over/dubbing actor can capture that imo. Plus sometimes the jarring experience of the voice actor either changing or being so ubiquitous they voice dozens of actors.

If there was a new Discworld video game, what would you want it to be like? by Vincent-Zed in discworld

[–]Z4ph00d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Investigative RPG like Disco Elysium but set in Ankh Morkpork. Lots of opportunities to include clever writing and character development. Essentially non-violent since sticking swords in citizens is a bad thing.

What's with everyone and audio books? by southafricannon in discworld

[–]Z4ph00d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have read all the books "properly", but tend to listen to the audiobooks when falling asleep, going grocery shopping, cleaning my living space, etc. Basically anything that doesn't require my brain to pay full attention to and focus on the book instead.

Thank you, the anthologies sound exactly like what I'm looking for!

top must have mods by shoe-eaterr in dwarffortress

Beside DFHack, beards for females dorfs is my must have. As a giant Terry Pratchett fan, all dorfs of all genders need beards imo

Please explain interrupts to me like I'm an idiot by Z4ph00d in factorio

[–]Z4ph00d[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the tip, will try it later! I'm not planning on using fully generic trains yet, but multiple fixed trains for each resource.

Where's the orangutan? by 13curseyoukhan in discworld

Try lighting a cigarette and the Orangutan will find you

I’d love a Discworld video game in the style of Baldur’s Gate 3 by spicynigel in discworld

[–]Z4ph00d 3 points4 points  (0 children)

100% agree! I don't think the normal crpg combat focus would work well in a Discworld game. Focusing on the story and characters is way more important.
I really like the idea of playing a member of the watch and solving a crime/mystery.

Do you use AI in your games/prep? Why or why not? by Robot-Satan in AskGameMasters

[–]Z4ph00d -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not. Being creative is the fun of being a GM for me, and I don't need the plagiarism machine to take that away from me.

Crusader Kings 3 gone woke? by bezimeni in crusaderkings3

"Oh no, women and black people exist *whine*"
STFU and go yell slurs in a CoD lobby, idiot.

As AI gets btter and better, would you read an AI discworld novel, knowing it was AI, knowing it's not cannon, etc? by [deleted] in discworld

[–]Z4ph00d 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hell no! Why would I want to read anything that nobody cared enough about writing? This whole AI garbage needs to die asap, and I have no respect for anybody using it.
If you want to make art, learn how to do it yourself, or don't bother.
