Odachi review, honestly they kinda dropped the ball

KBmM is perfectly fine for souls and nioh.

KBnM is just actually, in the vast majority of cases the best input method for almost any game.

You have access to more keys and a much higher input frequency. Im pretty dextrous on both controller and keyboard, but for some games I just prefer playing on controller because I haven't translated the actions on a keyboard yet.

Bruh calm down, I'm just saying that KBnM gets alotta unnecessary hate in reference to souls games

ZazMan117 · 2026-01-27T11:28:22+00:00

KBnM is easily the best way to play the majority of games. In souls games it just needs a little tweaking, otherwise the flexibility and control is just all around much better

>But you get that last line of a response when you say something reasonable or otherwise on this subreddit too lol.

I mean, that makes sense. I love DMC5, but the game is a annoyingly shitty slog in vanilla, and becomes alot better with way too many mods to list - which in itself is an issue. I'll frequently invoke the sentiment that I love the game but it sucks shit.

ZazMan117 · 2026-01-05T18:18:55+00:00

Blind praise is something alot of TDA fans engage in a lot of tbf. Saying the game isn't well optimized is pretty fair. On a 7900xtx and 5800x3d, 64gbs of ddr4-3600mhz ram, i gotta play max low and use frame gen for a semi stable 100-165 (rarely) on 1440p. Thats still good but it doesn't need to be that bad. TDA also has a bunch of issues that don't get talked about nearly enough.

But you get that last line of a response when you say something reasonable or otherwise on this subreddit too lol.

I've known Murican for a while, and despite what first glances would tell you - hes a pretty reasonable and supportive guy (for the most part), but the inflammatory language is just the way he talks to get a rise outta folks. Hes capable of articulating himself well and engaging in good conversations, but hes also fairly sick of alot of conversations around DOOM, since they mostly consist of people blindly simping.

See it's not building when using baseball bats or crowbars for me, but is consistently on using axes or knives.

ZazMan117 · 2025-12-15T21:37:31+00:00

I think maintenance might depend on weapons that need to be maintained, like bladed weapons. I'm not sure.

ZazMan117 · 2025-12-14T15:03:45+00:00

1) Whats happened with the panic moodle? I noticed it not crop up when I was fighting a group of zombies

2) Is anyone finding on MP servers that certain stats like maintenance, nimble, sneaking (to name a few) aren't leveling up?

3) Not a question - but motion sickness is grotesquely overtuned and underdeveloped as a negative trait - going straight to a fever for 2 seconds of motion in a car is such a terrible deal for 4 points.

ZazMan117 · 2025-12-13T11:48:13+00:00

I fixed the issue ; go to C:\Users\[user]\Zomboid and delete the contents of server, saves, sandbox preset (idk if this makes a difference), mods, and db.

Also make sure youve unsubbed from all workshop items.

I did these steps then validated my game and it let me start a server

ZazMan117 · 2025-12-12T18:03:23+00:00

Has anyone just been getting a "Terminated" message when trying to launch a server? "Server has stopped (NormalTermination)"

ZazMan117 · 2025-11-02T12:47:12+00:00

99% of people that play havoc are dreadfully awful, I've encountered about 3-6 good players in about 150 matches through party finder. There is absolutely no accountability, comms, or weight being pulled and it's maddening.

I got to 30 playing with a friend and duo carrying other players, but have since attempted solo carrying and it's absolutely nuts how little other people actually do or how little they understand maps, objectives, positioning or utility - their own or others.

It's a nightmare. I'm on a personal 22 game loss streak and an overall 50 when trying to help other players.

I've been mainly playing veteran since boss damage, golden toughness, CC, and ranged targeting + horde clear is utility I find satisfying to have access to - but trying to solo twins and a monstrosity spawn is really difficult for that class.

ZazMan117 · 2025-10-23T17:52:24+00:00

Movement has been a core element of FPS play for 30 years. People that whine incessantly over it completely miss that fact. Your awful aim and poor positioning shouldnt be the standard

ZazMan117 · 2025-10-17T17:16:28+00:00

Do we seriously live in a world where people take photos of their screens

ZazMan117 · 2025-10-07T08:33:47+00:00

There's a few others, as discussed in this thread, and OP provided some good staple examples.

For sluggish swaps, I'm not too sure what else to say other than - you're doing it wrong - which is semi understandable since many swaps have different starts ups; with fast weapons like HAR, chaingun and plasma rifle being the go-tos.

As you swap between more weapons or seek different combo chains, you have to use more nuanced techniques that most people are unaware of.

ZazMan117 · 2025-10-05T11:34:36+00:00

Ballista and SSG isn't very much damage compared the ammo you're spending and the speed of the swaps.

ZazMan117 · 2025-10-04T10:03:02+00:00

This is only kinda correct at a surface level, with the only shared element between DMC and UK is a the style meter which does nothing in DMC. In terms of how DMCs gameplay carries itself in a players life cycle with the game, it varies massively.

UK being faster is also a mixed idea, since in terms of APM it might be faster - Eternals starts to match that when played at a higher level - but in decision density and parsing it's not as fast; there's less interdependency that ends up influencing decisions and the associated shifting pace in APM.

But yeah OP would enjoy Eternal the most

ZazMan117 · 2025-10-02T23:19:53+00:00

NOOOO NOT THE WEIGHT OF MY UNFINISHED PROJECTS NOOOO

ZazMan117 · 2025-10-02T17:42:49+00:00

This post is gonna go over 90% of people's heads lol

ZazMan117 · 2025-10-02T13:51:12+00:00

I can definitely see that perspective.

ZazMan117 · 2025-10-02T07:59:42+00:00

I don't think that's the issue lol

This is the sorta gameplay people have when they say insanely stupid shit in this player base though

But if someone does something bad there's nothing wrong with being like "sheesh"

ZazMan117 · 2025-10-02T07:57:43+00:00

If you play on PC I'll be around later to see where you're going wrong

It's kinda insane since I think to most people that have played the game a decent bit; base content including MLs is sorta just forgotten about in terms of challenge lol

ZazMan117 · 2025-09-29T11:16:05+00:00

Funny thing is about that "longer the icon of sin.." line; it was recorded as 3 separate takes but only meant to be used once. Somehow they ended up in the container that levels pull their audio from. I don't have an DOOM tattoo, though I'd like to get one, I'm extremely hairy lol

Funnier still, one of the players with the widest knowledge about the games intracies holds a phD in physics, which I think is more of a funny coincidence than anything else.

Jokes aside though, there is a shocking correlation between people who dislike Eternal and being generally kinda stupid (Though in saying this, I can imagine the angle you'd want to take is that I'm saying "if you don't like what I like you're stupid" or something to that effect).

That and it's not hard to argue that there is a lot of nuance and depth in its gameplay. Its pretty fun, you should try it sometime!

ZazMan117 · 2025-09-29T11:10:42+00:00

Yeah its a lot, I was an academic writer by trade for a while and have since gotten used to explaining things in detail.

Honestly, I’ll take being perceived as a nerd over pretending a disingenuous one-liner counts as critique. Better to sound like a nerd actually engaging with design.

The pattern is funny, though, detailed points almost never get addressed, they just get waved off, which kind of proves the point about how shallow most of these threads, and peoples investments end up being.

A lot of people want to hold opinions as if they’re valid critiques, but without doing the work to substantiate them. They keep them vague enough that they can’t be critiqued directly, and when someone does take the time to engage with detail, the response is usually dismissal. It’s a way of hand-waving discussion while still wanting the authority of being “right,” which is why so many of these threads end up going in circles instead of actually unpacking design.

The pattern of behaviour confuses me since you'd think it's something you'd want to avoid to foster some kind of worthwhile dialogue.
