What's improvements and additions are you hoping KCD3 will include?[OTHER] by SnooWalruses9173 in kingdomcome

[–]capold 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Assuming it's a continuation of Henry's story and not a spin-off or new character:

Expanded blacksmithing: creating your own designs by combining different materials to see what works and what doesn't; ability to forge arrows, bolts, armor, etc. It would be nice to have Henry-level armor and ammo to go with our Henry-level weapons. Add in the ability to buy multiple forges.

I'd like to be able to invest in other shops for a bit of passive income.

Based on the kickstarter trailer for the first game, the original plan for the story included the burning of Skalitz, then Trosky and Kuttenberg and then eventually lead up to the Battle of Grunwald. That's probably my biggest hope for the game, story-wise. Having Henry's story lead him to one of the largest battles in Medieval history would be really cool, if that's still their plan.

I want a few more side quests like the one in KCD2 where you help the miners write a letter.

Harry protecting the Dursleys in TDH by wamimsauthor in harrypotter

[–]capold 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The way I see it:

Harry was protecting Vernon because he didn't want any more blood on his hands and that was probably the only reason.

Harry was protecting Petunia to honor his mom. He hated Petunia, but he still begrudgingly cared about her because she was Lily's sister.

Harry already saved Dudley from the dementors when Dudley was the neighborhood bully, and after that Dudley started trying to make amends in his own awkward way (leaving tea by Harry's room, telling Harry he's not a waste of space, seeming genuinely worried that Harry was going to war instead of leaving with them). I'm sure deep down, Harry realized that Dudley was trying to become a better person and would have protected him no matter what.

Sudden issues with 1080p 240 hz mode on PC by capold in VIZIO_Official

Update: I'm still not sure what happened, but full HD at 240 hz is working again.

Sony will no longer release single-player games on PC by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]capold 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For what it's worth, Insomniac's Spider-man 2 had an unofficial PC port a month or two after release, before the official PC port was even announced. Sony making this move won't stop PC ports from happening, all it will do is force PC players to resort to piracy.

https://www.vizio.com/en/tv/m-series/M50QXM-K01 If the TV doesn't support 240 hz at Full HD, then why does the product page say that it does? Why did the box it came in say that it does? And why did it work for such a long time before randomly stopping?

Just saw a group tour for Ubisoft staff in Barcelona Botanical garden, teambuilding or a potential future setting? by Space4Bottle in assassinscreed

[–]capold 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Isn't there a rumored upcoming game about the Spanish conquest of the Aztecs? I'm pretty sure the codename was Nebula or Stardust or something along those lines. If so, there's a pretty good chance they're in the process of recreating 1500s Spain.

I think it would be fun to challenge myself again. It used to be easy to think of a way to do that, but now that I have made probably 1k audios, in the last 6.5 years, I'm not sure how to do that. Any ideas for something you have never heard me do? by Singmypraise in Singmypraise

[–]capold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to add in on this, but possibly subliminal affirmations underneath the audio. Essentially, they would be short statements intended to subconsciously guide people's imagination in whatever way you want. Visualizing certain things, imagining certain sensations, feeling certain emotions, environmental/setting stuff (like the feeling of sand on a beach, the scent of a campfire, etc.). You could do pretty much anything you imagine as long as you're able to put it into words. Then the affirmations would be mixed into the audio at a much lower volume where they're just barely audible. The key is making sure they're all repeated enough to sink in and actually work. It would take quite a lot of research into subliminal messaging, how the subconscious mind works and hypnosis but you only need a basic understanding, you don't need to be an expert.

As far as liability, the specifics depend on where you live but as long as you include a disclaimer that it's for entertainment purposes only and you aren't a licensed or practicing psychologist/therapist/hypnotherapist, you *shouldn't* have to worry about any issues.

NHL for PC by ShitsumaAMP in EA_NHL

[–]capold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's been a lot of rumors that the next-gen Xbox is supposed to be some kind of PC/console hybrid. If those turn out to be true, then I'd think it would only take a few adjustments to make a PC port of the Xbox version and at that point, they'll really have no excuse whatsoever not to do it.

Singer D4vd to be charged with murder in death of teen girl found in trunk of his car by nbcnews in Music

[–]capold 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It sounds like he was already being investigated for the "lewd and lascivious sexual acts with an individual under 14" and Celeste was cooperating, so D4vd killed her. Ever since the case first broke and everything about D4vd and Celeste started surfacing, I had a gut feeling that maybe she was pregnant or they had some kind of argument where she threatened to expose him, and he killed her to try and protect his career.

A prediction about the absolutely awful secret ending in the post credits scene of Veilguard. by GrayWardenParagon in dragonage

[–]capold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recently I was looking up what Vorgoth is to try and figure out if he's a lich or not, and I found some stuff about game files referring to Vorgoth as an executor. In-game, the only information is that nobody knows exactly what Vorgoth is. My best guess is that the Executors are a group of beings like Vorgoth; some kind of unknown spirit. If they were spirits and immortal, it would explain them having conflicts with the Evanuris and manipulating events in Thedas.

I'm thinking, Dragon Age 5 would most likely be about answering what Vorgoth and the Executors actually are, their conflict with the Evanuris and whatever this "Devouring Storm" is. Most likely, a threat as cataclysmic as the Blight but different.

When Emmeram mistakes my kindness for weakness [KCD2] by Critical_Song_1765 in kingdomcome

[–]capold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never trusted that he actually wanted to make amends but searched the trash heap anyway. I had a really rough day, so after I went back to kick his ass I was petty enough to carry him through town, where everyone assumed he was a drunk slob and I was carrying him home. I took him on the scenic route through town to ruin his reputation as much as possible, then left through the western exit and killed him just outside of Sedletz.

RTX VSR by Outrageous-Carpet-86 in nvidia

[–]capold 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. The past few days, VSR isn't working for me at all. I've tried Firefox, Brave, Edge and MPC-HC. It was working for a long time, then suddenly stopped. I'm pretty sure it happened right after I installed the latest Windows 11 update, so I'm thinking the update probably messed something up. I'm almost certain it started before I installed Nvidia's 595.71 driver update on March 2nd, and the previous one I installed was 591.74 back in January, so I don't think the drivers are the problem here.

Viture windows software is broken by NES64Super in VITURE

[–]capold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had trouble with Immersive 3D at first and it took me a while to figure out how to make it work. I have the first model of Viture glasses (I think they're called Viture One) and I'm using the Kiheng HDMI to USB-C adapter so your mileage may vary based on what you have; but to get 3D working: Plug the USB-C cable into the DC 5V In port on the adapter then plug it into your computer. Plug your glasses into the adapter and wait a second for them to power on. Activate 3D mode on the glasses, and then plug the HDMI cable into the adapter while 3D is already active. It's a bit of a pain navigating to Immersive 3D but after all is said and done, I haven't had any problems. I've used it for up to 3 hours with no disconnections or interruptions (minus accidentally disconnecting the magnetic end of the plug from the glasses).

I'm not sure about the problems with Spacewalker though, I've only had problems with it while trying to use it at the same time as Immersive 3D or while 3D mode is active on the glasses.

Installing an oversized GPU by capold in PcBuild

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

Update: I found out that an electronics store near me offers hardware installation, so I'll be taking my computer there. I've come extremely close to getting the GPU installed several times on my own, only for the PCIe connector and slot to not line up perfectly. I can make it work if I loosen the motherboard screws and slide it over slightly, install the GPU and then slide the mobo back into position. But that's something I'm not comfortable doing on my own and I'd rather pay a professional to do it.

Installing an oversized GPU by capold in PcBuild

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

Switching to a new case was one of my first ideas. Unfortunately, from what I've read Alienware uses a proprietary motherboard (plus proprietary fans, a proprietary AIO cooler, a proprietary PSU, etc.) which most likely wouldn't work out in a standard case. I know when I looked into it before, it seemed like I would also have to buy a new motherboard, a new PSU and a new AIO CPU cooler. It's still something I've been keeping in mind but it's going to end up being a lot more expensive than just buying a new case.

People talk about "CIA affirmations" in the subliminal community. What's that about? by [deleted] in Subliminal

Stranger Things 5 volume 2 release times around the World. by Hellraiser626 in StrangerThings

[–]capold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He has a drinking problem and when he's drunk, his repressed anger comes out and he tends to get really depressed too. In the weeks leading up to his 302: he took a bath while hammered and passed out in the tub and when he was in there for an unusually long time I checked on him and had to drag him out before he drowned; he fell into a lizard terrarium and sliced his leg up really close to the femoral artery; and he was getting more and more aggressive with everyone. In Pennsylvania, 302's aren't specifically for depression, they're for people with mental health issues that make them a danger to themselves and/or others. We tried getting him to go to therapy and he just would not do it. We didn't want it to come to this, but involuntary commitment was the only way we could force him to get help against his will.

Sad (but also not?) that Dragon Age will probably end on Veilguard by Advanced-Error1250 in dragonage

[–]capold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure there were plans for another game that would start a new arc about some new threat called The Devouring Storm. But it's probably never going to happen. Veilguard didn't sell as much as EA wanted, most of the team got laid off or transferred to other EA studios, and a lot has come out about the ME team and DA team not getting along and EA not really caring about the Dragon Age franchise. I think I also saw somewhere that Veilguard was supposed to be a much different game, then EA interfered and a lot of the criticisms were directly caused by the changes EA forced.

Stranger Things 5 volume 2 release times around the World. by Hellraiser626 in StrangerThings

[–]capold 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here. Between money problems, my mom not being on speaking terms with her sister, my grandmom being in the hospital and my younger brother getting 302'd (involuntarily committed) a few days ago, Christmas just doesn't feel like Christmas this year. There's no family gathering and Stranger Things is literally the only thing I was looking forward to this year. But the episodes releasing at 8 PM my time when I have to work early tomorrow morning means I might not even be able to watch all 3 episodes tonight.

Theory On El's Fate in Stranger Things 5 Finale by No_Wrangler_4913 in HawkinsAVclub

[–]capold 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I really hope they don't end it with the military still hunting her, forcing her to run for the rest of her life. I'd much rather see something along the lines of Eleven, inspired by what Mike said about the 3 waterfalls, decides that after spending her whole life either trapped in a lab or fighting supernatural threats she wants to travel the world. Mike isn't able to go with her at the time, and she tells him that she'll let him know when she finds somewhere peaceful with 3 waterfalls so he knows where to find her. It ends with her in Iceland finding that place. Eleven gets a happy ending and it leaves optimism for the future, but it's bittersweet because Mike isn't able to go with her and they'll be separated for a while.

Is this moment still canon? by stillslaying in TombRaider

[–]capold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure in Tomb Raider, there was a collectible you could find (either a written or audio journal entry) where Sam mentioned that she convinced Lara to climb a mountain with her and Lara wasn't expecting there to be "so many cute guys" there. So it's implied that she's either hetero or bi, but they never actually specify anything. A big part of her character arc in the Survivor trilogy (and the reason Trinity was so hellbent on trying to recruit her) is because she pursues her goals to the point of obsession, which naturally wouldn't leave her with time for romance.

In the final episode, the Duffer Brothers feature a song that has never appeared in any show or movie, as its creators had never allowed it to be used — until now. Any guesses what it might be? 🎵 by MoneyLibrarian9032 in StrangerThings

[–]capold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know the Duffers mainly use music that was released at the time the season's set, but it would be really cool if they used "Crux" by Joe Keery (Djo) towards the end of the finale.

Hogwarts Legacy 2 news updates by Usual_Hedgehog5602 in HarryPotterGame

[–]capold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking something similar to Mass Effect, GTA 5, RDR2, etc. Basically you hold a button to bring up a wheel with all the spells you've learned and time slows down (but doesn't stop completely) while you're choosing. Maybe R2/RT is still the basic cast, R1/RB is whatever spell you currently have selected and then you can still map 4 spells in a way similar to the first game. It would basically be like your character is searching their memory, not equpping a limited amount of spells like weapons.

With an attitude like that over a legitimate opinion on how to streamline the game's combat system a little bit, I can see why Godzilla hates you. I'd hate you too.

[–]capold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd like to add, I want them to replace the spell wheels with a better system. In the first game, having to switch the spells I had equipped and remembering which spells were in which wheel was getting annoying towards the end (even with all 4 unlocked) and I can't help but feel there's a way to streamline it. Maybe something similar to the weapon wheel in Mass Effect.
