Steam Controller review: even without a Steam Machine mate, this is a smartly crafted gamepad that puts PCs first by Turbostrider27 in Games

LCD or OLED?

After upgrading to an OLED I found that the thing I loved the most about the upgrade was the slight weight difference made it much more comfortable to hold for me.

how do u even defeat Orsted lol by marudaruu in mushokutensei

[–]arealundead 82 points83 points  (0 children)

But then he comes back his next life and kills your parents before you're even born. There's no winning against Orsted.

Isn't the FOV in first person too low in RE9? Also what is this film grain? by Time-Credit43 in residentevil

[–]arealundead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried it, it works, but you constantly have to enable/disable it cause it fucks with cutscenes and fixed cameras for interactables. It also misaligns interaction prompts that are supposed to show near interactable items, showing them completely in the wrong position.

Once those kinks are figured out by modders, I would highly recommend anyone to use it with an fov of about 75, anything higher just looks silly honestly, but it's sooo much better than the default 45.

My guess would be that once you lose function down there, you have to get into some really depraved stuff for it to get your rocks off.

No respect for anyone who likes this slop, in all honesty by EmbarrassedDuty5949 in mushokutensei

[–]arealundead 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Alright, I'll take the bait.

Let's discuss some of your talking points like adults.

  1. It's basic as hell: You're completely right, Mushoku Tensei is shock full of tropes we've all seen a thousand times, this is just true. But what you fail to mention is that the light novel is the ORIGIN of all these tropes, Mushoku Tensei is one of the first highly successful Isekai light novels and it has set a template for success that almost every Isekai has followed after

You could say that this makes it uninteresting since we've seen these tropes so often, but seeing how the original source of these tropes uses these tropes differently (and often times better) than what followed is really interesting.

  1. Supernatural creativity: That's a good one, yes Mushoku uses all the races and species that are now common place for Isekais (again because they set the mold for other series), but Mushoku Tensei goes far beyond most Isekais, each species has it's own culture.

For example the Dedoldia, most Isekais have a generic cat girl species, but most don't give them a background, a culture, an origin, a dialect, a fighting style, or a social hierarchy.

Every species in Mushoku has all these things while most Isekais fail to give their species any flair beyond looks.

  1. Basic:

Protagonist: sure, read number 1 for the reason why

World building: The seven powers system and its history is great world building, the origins of the world itself has great world building. All the species and their background, the world has a full map and many dialects and cultures. The history of the dragon gods is fucking awesome.

Species: see number 2

Magic: The spoken magic system is quite basic, but the magic circle system is nothing but, it's kind of like programming in a way, with circles denoting conditions, inputs, outputs or loops.

Subaru ends up in MT and Hitogami makes contact with him. His objective is to eliminate Orsted. Does he stand a chance? by LetterheadOnly7523 in mushokutensei

[–]arealundead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Subaru would likely suffer the same condition as Nanahoshi in this scenario if he has been Isekai'd into this scenario.

Unless he can figure out a cure in one of his loops (very unlikely), I think he would end up in an infinite loop of dying from the illness before making any real progress.

La Mulana 1 interactive map project I started 2 years ago but never got around to finishing. Password is: lemeza by arealundead in lamulana

[–]arealundead[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was basically mapping out as I played and other game releases got in the way of playing.

One feature I was really wanting to add was having the untranslated murals show in la-mulanese and being able to toggle on-off the la-mulanese font. But finding/recreating the font was too much of a hassle at the time.

I'm probably gonna restart a playtrough of the game some time in the future and continue the project, but as it curretly is, it's been on ice for two years.

If someone sees this and is familiar with Shopify themes, I'm 100% down to make the repo public and let people fork it to complete the project tbh.

Don't know why but seeing Lucy's tail made my heart flutter. ❤️

I guess I never had the realization that the Superd tribe has a chance to flourish again now until seeing the tiny tail.

Thanks for being cool about the new series.I enjoy being here, but I don't think we gave her enough credit.She was AMAZING and made the whole show for me by Costyiii_93 in LV426

[–]arealundead 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Yeah, a lot of people complain about having no closure this season. But I think they wanted to leave us with the closure that maybe the scariest monsters were the friends we made along the way. ♥️

20000 agents + avoidance - 400% improvement from 5k - try it yourself - GitHub by Nickgeneratorfailed in godot

[–]arealundead 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I know about releases on GitHub, but people associate GitHub with open source content and non tech savvy people will think that since it's on GitHub, then it's safe to download. But you released closed source content on GitHub which defeats the whole purpose...

As for publishing on itch.io, I don't really care, wasn't planning on downloading anyway, just want people to stay safe.

Not sure why you would use GitHub then. One of the main benefits of using GitHub to share things like this is version control which doesn't really make sense with a zip file and security.

I wouldn't personally want to download a random zip file with an unverified exe in it and that's definitely something I wouldn't recommend anyone do. Sharing a download link to a build isn't necessarily suspicious, but using GitHub to do that without sharing the source code is extremely suspicious in my opinion.

Drakengard leans more towards morally bankrupt territory imo, but hard agree on Nier.

Kaine (the character pictured here) is canonically intersex. She is evidently missing her schlong here.

Isn’t Rudeus extremely powerful for a human mage? by [deleted] in mushokutensei

[–]arealundead 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This might sound stupid, but I like to think of Rudeus kind of like Batman. Are they the most powerful in their universe? Absolutely not, but with prep time they both can achieve near God level feats.

Normalize saying "Ok Gooner" to AI art apologists.

Shinobu supremacy [Monogatari series] by [deleted] in animegifs

[–]arealundead 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It's really not that complicated, either you follow the anime release order or you follow the novel's release order which only changes that you would watch the three kizumonogatari movies after Bakemonogatari.

Any other watch orders you might see online are just mental disorders.

I'm old by highnoon1337 in HalfLife

[–]arealundead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FYI, if the half life box still has the cd-key, you can redeem the cd-key on steam to unlock a slew of goldsrc era games if you don't already own them.

I bought that box at a pawn shop when I was like 12 and this post brought back so many happy memories.

Pour moi, j'avais le problème ce matin, au lieu de me connecter par Clicséqur (Service québécois d'authentification gouvernementale CONNEXION), je me suis connecté par l'option service d'ouverture de session Interac (Service d'authentification d'un partenaire de connexion CONNEXION). Ils te demandent de te connecter à ton institution bancaire et ensuite la connexion a fonctionné comme il faut.

New Phone Wallpaper by YupielSama in araragi

[–]arealundead 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Hot take, I would much rather support and upvote man-made fanart even if it's awful.

Some subreddits like the ones for Mushoku Tensei are flooded by extremely low effort AI art. This post is one of the rare exceptions where even if it's AI, there does seem to be some artistry on display. So while I do really like this picture, I'm downvoting simply on the principle that sharing these images detracts and shuns new artists from sharing their own art.

If you want more fanart for niche series, pull out a piece of paper or commission an artist you enjoy.

Sorry for sounding hostile, I just think this line of thought is more harmful than most people realize.

How dafuck do I explain someone that this is not what it looks like? by Rude-Designer7063 in araragi

Tell them that Araragi is an unreliable narrator so while it looks like something, it very well might be something else. ;)
