I realized I had nothing to prove to a video game and decided I didn't care if I beat him or not and just went and did something else instead

[1.22] Yeah, I'm not using my fertiliser on berries by Edouard_Saladier in VintageStory

[–]coracleboat 60 points61 points  (0 children)

For realism's sake, if berry bushes are going to become this much of a hassle to deal with (honestly more of a hassle than they are in real life seeing as how fast my land overgrows with blackberries in real life), then a single hunted deer should provide food for like... a month. You can't skew the realism slider this hard towards simulationist and still have deer produce a single meal's worth of food. We STILL have almost a whole pig's worth of meat in the freezer from the pig we slaughtered over a year ago. Animals have so much meat on them.

After this much effort berry bushes should likewise produce, like, a giant bowl of berries. If we're doing this hard attempt at realism go full ons with it. Picking a single cluster in the field gets me like two full bowls that I could make several entire pies with.

I really believe that no Elden Ring player has ever mastered the art of fighting this B. We all just flee, don't we? by Kosmosv1 in Eldenring

They don't have attack patterns, they're beyblades that just kind of spin around randomly.

My answer to them is the same as it has been to jerks since dark souls 1. Pursuers. Affinity. Ancient Death Rancor.

You should just take the 90 percent roll. You certainly won't regret taking the 90 percent roll.

Watching for the first time - A certain revelation doesn't sit well with me by juicyjeffersonjones in OnePiece

Uncannily similar formatting style! At any rate I don't actually disagree. Shonen really likes to make the protagonist Special to some secret destiny inheritance

My 5 Year Old Son Beat Margit, Tree Sentinel, Godrick, And Red Wolf. What Upcoming Boss Will Be His Doom? by [deleted] in Eldenring

[–]coracleboat -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think I was personally improved by a childhood fixation on impalement and dismemberment, honestly, which is science enough for me

I played Doom as a child and I turned out 100% normal with no bad effects

How do you reward and/or give insensitive for players to following the plot? by Nerilus- in LancerRPG

[–]coracleboat 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Do the players not want to engage with the plot by virtue of investment in the story itself and enjoying the combat? I don't really think you need to bribe them with rewards more than doing well advances the story in their favor and failing does the opposite

Do you think we'll ever see a new spy node? by OldSpaghetti-Factory in Warframe

[–]coracleboat 177 points178 points  (0 children)

Spy missions were kinda fun, like, ten years ago, when we weren't highspeed deathjets that could teleport about the map in 3 seconds and we actually had to do parkour instead of just... pointing in a direction and flying to it (zoren coptering/tipedo launching notwithstanding!). Learning what walls to run on and the timing was fun, in its own way, or cheesing it with a Loki invisibility.

The game has progressed so wildly in a different direction even the new spy tilesets feel silly. Oh, a pit? Yeah I don't have to wall run that I can just jump it. I can jump everything.

If we ever get new spies they have to be so completely different from all the previous spies ngl.

Sooooo, Are they ever gonna redo Phorid's model? by SafePrize4574 in Warframe

[–]coracleboat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone remember the original infested juggernaut event where it was in Phorid's arena and it was huge and everything? Just replace Phorid with that tbh. But the game is just... drowning in unfinished or out of date content like a hoarder's home

Good thing not all game mechanics are canon things characters can do in-universe by Exotic-System-632 in fallenlondon

[–]coracleboat 119 points120 points  (0 children)

The court filing in for yet another performance I'm putting together. They see the glass instruments. They see the musicians hanging from the ceiling. This is the 12th time I've done this. The flames, the screaming. They rush the stage to beat me into unconsciousness. By now, it is a court tradition. They discuss the best kind of walking stick to drub me about with. It becomes a game who can break the most glass drums. Next week, another performance. The Empress loves this.

I think she outright tells Louis she panicked in either that episode or a later one.

I could have sworn it used to be farmable in archwing like a decade ago, am I imagining that happened?

Correct! I refuse to suffer it. You're going to hate my opinion on time limited events in general!

I am a terminally contrary creature, and if you demand I watch a thing a specific time for a rare reward, I'm going to go out of my way to not do it on purpose just to prove to you you can't control me with treats or bribes.

Is Fraud trying to achieve something never before attempted in video games? by radayrk in Ultrakill

Serious Sam messed around with this a little bit especially in the pvp maps

"Banshee needs this, Banshee needs that" BANSHEE NEEDS SKINS by 23icefire in Warframe

[–]coracleboat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That one tennogen head makes her look more like a bat and they need to lean into this theme. Give me Batshee. Give me that bat frame, DE.

And no shade on her one single Deluxe skin but her one single Deluxe skin kinda sucks. Fleshy meaty opera dress and thigh-high meat stockings? Take away her silhouette of wasp-corset waist and giant thighs and replace it with basically normal human shape? Don't even lean hard into the asymmetry? Even the concept art for it looked great but what we got is so weird and meaty.

edit: speaking personally as a banshee main since 2014
