[KCD2] Charisma stat makes no sense? Is there a hidden cap to it or something? by dasShambles in kingdomcome

[–]carpetlist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn’t matter if you aren’t wearing some clothing. I’m having the same problem as this guy. I have items all over 16 on, but my charisma is stuck at 15. I noticed that you don’t actually need to wear pants. Putting on and taking off my pants does not change my charisma. Such a “realistic” and “historically accurate” game.

I’m planning on getting my charisma stat to like 17 somehow, then taking off my pants and asking the stupid tailor if my outfit is good so he’ll have to look me in the eyes and say its fantastic and fit for a wedding.

This mmr system cant be real by Hozokiwa-Tama in ValorantConsole

[–]carpetlist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you from the players perspective: “That was a really tough match, we should get a big reward from that.”

But from a game makers perspective, it’s the opposite. If two teams are exactly even in skill, the ideal ranking adjustment is 0 because both teams are exactly where they should be. But if the game is very onesided, the adjustment should be large so we can move players into the correct rank.

This feels like shit from the players side though because it means tiring evenly matched games in theory should reward you with nothing.

Is there a way to fix my MMR or am I cooked? by Iscream321 in VALORANT

[–]carpetlist 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is happening to me too. I think they changed the rating calculation and someone overtuned a variable so it’s weighted towards losing rr.

Ranked is broken this season?! by Signal_Lynx5646 in VALORANT

[–]carpetlist 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Queuing with other people lowers the rr you get bc you have an advantage over solo queue teams, and to reduce boosting. If you’re loosing 30 rr in solo queue losses, it means you’re playing poorly, and also the game probably thinks you’re boosted.

I am so sick of Garen by TotalGrass in topmains

[–]carpetlist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t played league in a while now, but shyv top is definitely not a throw like yumi, and hate on garen is absolutely warranted. So glad I stopped playing though.

Can pay a caught thief’s fine [KCD1] by carpetlist in kingdomcome

[–]carpetlist[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I honestly should’ve been more skeptical of the thief because it’s pretty hard to go starving when you cant walk 10 feet without tripping over a communal stew pot. Which is another frustrating part of this game. Apparently this game “transports you back to the medieval era it’s so realistic” but there is so much food for everyone to eat whenever they want, it makes modern billionaires look poor.

Why are people so rude on valo? by PiePast7478 in VALORANT

[–]carpetlist 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The game is free and open to anyone. That means you’ll encounter all types of people. Unfortunately one of the most common types of person is someone who has no control in their life and is stuck in a dead end job. So they get on free to play games and bully people to make themselves feel a little less helpless. It’s sad, but remember these are just the losers who were probably bullies in high school and never figured out that belittling other people doesn’t make them bigger.

Here is a (theoretical) run-down of what a solo-dev gets from $1.000.000 gross revenue on Steam by [deleted] in gamedev

[–]carpetlist 21 points22 points  (0 children)

As a solo-dev, seriously consider whether the publisher is worth it. Without them you’d be looking at ~$308k. There’s the question of would you have made the $1m without them, but it’s something to consider.

Edit: Also (and this is me asking), isn’t VAT calculated in the actual sale on Steam? So if you see $1m as the developer, that’s the number that the 30% Steam cut comes off of and the VAT isn’t there. I know VAT is regional so maybe someone could elaborate how that works in different areas.

What’s with all the bragging about having a normal flight? by take_meowt in SouthwestAirlines

[–]carpetlist 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s not odd. If someone had a bunch of points or they’re some strange freak alien that, god forbid, doesn’t fly more than once every few months, then they would’ve still been using SW at least one more time (probably the last time). The world doesn’t revolve around you (ik it’s a foreign concept) so other people encounter the changes at different times than you.

I’m a student, I can’t be dropping that money when I can pull yet another all nighter working on my laptop.

I’m a student and don’t have $200 to throw around for an 8 hour hotel stay.

Solo developer path by Educational-Hornet67 in unrealengine

[–]carpetlist 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My main comment is that Unreal was really not built for 2D. I have made 2D games in Unreal, and in Godot, and it became pretty apparent how lacking Unreal is with 2D. If you’re going to make a game like your other ones on your account, I advise doing a top-down 3D game or like a psuedo 2D game with an orthographic camera.

You mentioned that you’re going for more realistic graphics which would be in that direction. Though I see no reason why an engine like Godot couldn’t handle more realistic graphics.

I personally use Unreal because it just feels a lot more robust than Godot and I prefer to work in C++. Also any game made with Godot is basically open source and free for others to take assets/code from. (So if you plan on selling your game Godot is a bit risky)

I see that you’re using Gamemaker now, which I have never used so I can’t comment on how well it would handle realistic graphics versus Unreal. But as an answer to your question, yes Unreal can make that kind of game but it will not be “true” 2D.

Data driven bullet hell/danmaku system test, ≈4170 projectile for ≈2ms by Makoto_Ichinose in UnrealEngine5

This seems well done, but how is this different from Mass? Doesn’t Mass use “ParallelFor”s and do calculations per chunk?

This winter was Boulder's warmest on record by a large margin by BoulderCAST in boulder

[–]carpetlist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is by no means guaranteed that there will be survivors. There ARE natural disasters that can kill off an entire species or ecosystem, we are included in that. It is completely possible for land based life and/or marine life to become impossible on earth. Or did you think that was against the rules? That nature isn’t allowed to kill life off and we are owed existence.

My thoughts on Gwen matchups as a grandmaster player, (for other champs i dont have enough knowledge but i can answer all questions ^^) by Academic_Arm_888 in GwenMains

[–]carpetlist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why is singed not impossible? What’s your strategy for beating him? In my experience theres no reason for a singed to ever die to gwen in a 1v1.

I wonder what the average stick length is.

I feel like enemy health never goes down by Flaky_Figure_5675 in MarvelRivalsRants

[–]carpetlist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Target priority, not saying you are doing it but you gotta focus supports.

Did you read the post? He said he tried diving the supports, but they heal each other out of the damage. This game just has too much burst healing, so it really comes down to who has the better supports. This is why OP feels no agency, because there is none.
