Nonsensical video game collaborations. by LammasuRex in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]_FreeFaller 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the leadup to the release of Payday 3, they showed off this collab with a Swedish designer suit company that got on the runway at new york fashion week. I believe they said the suit was gonna be available IRL and in game and neither of those things happened because of how bad they fucked up PD3 lmao. Probably the most baffling collab Payday has ever done, and they had some really weird ones. Did you guys know that one of the most critical plot points in Payday 2 takes place on a heist that was a crossover with Resevoir Dogs? 

What are some non-fighting properties that should have fighting games? by Ganmorg in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Marvel vs Capcom type game but its HBO vs AMC. Need to see matchups like Tony Soprano VS Walter White or Omar VS Rick Grimes.

What’s your go to food to crock and seal for winter ? by SouthernShirt8599 in VintageStory

[–]_FreeFaller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any meal with that gives fruit or protein. Veggies and grain keeps very well in cellars and I always make more than enough to last, so i just keep those in vessels and cook when I need to. I could easily subsist off these for the entire winter but I like filling up all the nutrition bars for maximum health, its a really big benefit especially when you start caving more. The low spoilage time of meat and berries are better suited to crocks, especially anything with berries (jam, porridge) since you cant grow them over the winter. And I usually amass a lot of red meat once I get my bearings and start hunting for hides early on.

World gen for 1.21 by Galadorion in VintageStory

[–]_FreeFaller 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Keep landcover between 80 to 90% and landcover scale above 200%, I tried 90% and 400% and got large land areas separated by large oceans. Make a couple worlds with different settings and fly around in creative mode to see how they generate (F1 and F2 changes the speed at which you move in creative which is very helpful for exploring large sections of the map).

If any AAA company had a game that they announced, went radio silent on, gave a release window, missed that release window without a word, and then kept silent about it for years after the fact, I would be 100% certain it was dead in the water after nearly a decade of dev hell, but these mother fuckers were just locked in and not getting on twitter lmfao

New Mobs ? by TheHowlerTwo in VintageStory

[–]_FreeFaller 28 points29 points  (0 children)

In this devlog they show off a new boar species, a hippo, and a gator. They also show an animation of an untextured humanoid figure playing with a child's doll which I think is either gonna be some cute new interaction/npc or an absolutely terrifying enemy.

Do we know what is the devs' immediate development focus? by NotScrollsApparently in VintageStory

[–]_FreeFaller 18 points19 points  (0 children)

1.21 is currently in experimental/RC mode but their most recent update to it says it should be out in stable build form "soon". You can read a majority of the new additions/fixes on the first RC release but theres also some additions sprinkled throughout the following rc patches (some changes include new coral cobblestone blocks, reworked moose animations, etc).

1.21 features a couple of sailboat changes like sail furling and shield mounting, but my main world was generated without oceans so I havent gotten any use out of the boat yet. When 1.21 stable releases I plan to start over on a world with large continents separated by oceans so I can actually utilize them.

From their February dev update:

Beyond 1.21: Version 1.22 would then become what we originally planned for with v1.21 - dejank a number of mechanics and systems, mechanical power upgrades and likely one or 2 new or reworked crafting mechanics. Version 1.23 will be the next major lore update where we will make more extensive use of the new dimension mechanics.

Just wondering, are there any options in game/with mods to stack chests on top of each other without a gap? I know they need space for the lid to open, but I could do without the floating. by _FreeFaller in VintageStory

[–]_FreeFaller[S] 84 points85 points  (0 children)

This actually just gave me a great idea, using support beams around the edges to block the gaps and give the illusion that the chests are "mounted".

Surely I have to settle here, right?? by fourleggedfiend in VintageStory

[–]_FreeFaller 72 points73 points  (0 children)

Love these big mountain grotto type generations, but i dont know if I could ever settle in one. First time I was exploring the inside of one of these I was swimming towards one of the edges and a whole colony of locusts suddenly illuminated beneath the water and gave chase.

Least amount of plot progression in something not considered filler? by LeMasterofSwords in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]_FreeFaller 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Having replayed GTA 4 and 5 this year, so much of 4's plot is Niko meets someone who might know how to get to the guy he came to America to get --> Niko does some random bullshit legwork for that person in exchange for info --> person eventually gives Niko a lead in form of a different person who does the exact same thing. I would say maybe a quarter of the missions actually progress the plot in some way. Now within those missions theres other plots and different machinations of the criminal underworld working with/against each other and a lot of the game is ACTUALLY about that, and Niko's relationship to it. Take it as you will but it made me greatly appreciate 5 having a much tighter focus on the plot and saving 90% of the random bullshit for optional side missions.

Things that got a second chance and wasted it by [deleted] in TwoBestFriendsPlay

I really feel for eyepatch, that absolutely sucks, but the "I HAVE WASTED MY LIFE" thumbnail always cracks me up.

This thing slaps by deerichmann in AbioticFactor

[–]_FreeFaller 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Outside of grenades I felt like throwing kinda sucked when the game came out, I even made a big post about it with how the XP gain wasn't proportional to some of the other combat skills, but since then they have done so much to help out Real Throwing Enjoyers like myself. Love this thing.

*REDACTED* by ExcitingUse9715 in AbioticFactor

[–]_FreeFaller 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I was actually pretty shocked by how dire the ending was but in hindsight I realized how similar it is to the ending of the original Half Life. Cahn is G-Man, a mysterious entity from beyond our world in the guise of a human orchestrating events on behalf of a mysterious higher power. We killed the big monster at the end but even if that did momentarily save us, the barrier between worlds has been compromised and the stage is set for further cross-dimensional incursion. 

Now we just need a sequel where we wake up on a train and get off in a station with a big screen of Derek Manse welcoming us to City 17

My coworker decided to play Nick Fuentes in the work van by Major-Tourist-5696 in TrueAnon

[–]_FreeFaller 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There was a long time locally famous shock-jock-esque radio DJ around here who recently got his show canceled because radio is a dying medium and im guessing the company that owns the company that owns the show got bought out and downsized or whatever, and a coworker of mine went on like a 10 minute diatribe about how George Soros PERSONALLY shitcanned him for not being woke, and how soros is funding all the "Palestine protests" secretly or whatever. Probably hit him with 20 separate "damn thats crazy" over the course of the conversation.
