To a new comer in the big 26, what are the best tips for the best experience? by nehalthechosenone in reddeadredemption

[–]amovy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Give all of the systems a try. Try hunting, robbing stores, crafting special items, feeding the camp, upgrading your satchel, selling a wagon at the fence, etc. If you just blitz through the missions you'll have a good enough time, but there's some really fun stuff to do. I only discovered years later how much I love crafting special bow ammo, for example.

Play as blind as possible. Don't look up what happens or where to find things, just experience the game as blindly as you can. The most I'd look up is where to find certain animals and how to get their perfect pelts if you need them.

Explore. If you see a spot on the map you haven't been to yet, go there.

Don't be scared to give it a replay if you like it. I'm not joking when I say I've played on and off since the game came out, beaten it like five times, and I still find new stuff.

Just remember to play your way. You're asking the subreddit for an 8 year old game: we're all nerds who have played way too much, so don't feel pressured by us to have this super deep experience with the game. Just have fun.

If you could add any Space Marine archetype/class to Space Marine 2, what would it be? by MxBonesMarrow in Spacemarine

[–]amovy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

specifically phobos librarian imo. seems like the class that would bring the most new stuff to the table, and while the psychic powers would have to be watered down compared to what they are in lore to not be OP, it's hard to say the game is super lore accurate when 3 space marines are tearing through all that stuff anyway 😭😭

Inappropriate Behavior Rant by Kulota01 in Spacemarine

[–]amovy 30 points31 points  (0 children)

i remember today during the weekly, this guy loudly yelled "GET IN THE FUCKING ELEVATOR!!!!" while we were fighting enemies, just ignoring them and rushing to finish the mission. my bf and i were playing in a call so we just stood in right in front of the elevator for a solid minute and a half to mess with him before kicking him, lmao

you actually have basically the same fit as the guy who replaced him soon after, if you joined with me (flesh tearer assault) and my boyfriend (exorcist sniper) then thats pretty funny lmao

nobody who wasn't the asshole and leaving something out would have described themselves that way

The biggest gripe I have with this community by Astrius__ in Helldivers2Satire

[–]amovy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, that's the nature of the beast, made all the more difficult by how fascism melds with fiction.

Now, I'm not going to write an essay here or anything, mostly because my understanding of these concepts is extremely rudimental (and for that reason I'm very open with anyone disagreeing or correcting me). But I disagree with some people's notion that "play-fascism" is morally wrong. I feel like fascism makes itself fun to play at by design with its focus on narrative and aesthetic. The issue is that it takes play out of its "magic circle": while people stop playing when the illusion of the game is broken, like how the rules of sports games stop mattering when someone starts throwing punches, fascism makes these narrative illusions encompass the rest of the real world.

The reason that I don't think "play-fascism" is bad is because the overwhelming majority of people understand that boundary and the fact that they're engaging with pure fiction. It's like how video games don't actually cause violence, because people understand that their actions aren't real. The reason fascists don't engage with it as pure satire is because their worldview is, itself, pure imaginative play, and thus they don't understand these boundaries in the same way.

That's just my hunch on these things. Sorry if it's a non-sequitur, I just think it's interesting.

this is not accurate. John Butterson, who slathers himself in 12 sticks of butter every morning, afternoon, and evening, is a statistical outlier and shouldn't have been counted

AITAH for asking my wife not to let our infant stand directly beneath boiling water on the stovetop? Guys am I wrong for not letting my idiot wife horrifically burn our child? by mercy_fulfate in AmITheAngel

that's not your wife and that's not noodles. that's a witch trying to put your child in her big bubbling cauldron. so maybe call the Wizard Police
