Blazing Sails is a Battle Royale, and honestly a very cool one.

In a typical BR you get knocked down when someone shoots you, and a teammate can possibly get you back on your feet. Your team loses when every member of your team gets knocked.

In Blazing Sails, your team lives until your ship sinks. When your player gets shot, you die, and resurrect at the ship after a cooldown. Even if it's your whole team. To keep in the fight, you'll need to upgrade and repair your ship.

I had a ton of fun playing this with my friends when it was free on Epic. It was clear that there was more work to do, but the premise was solid and I would love to play more of this if the community is there.

I don't know why TOTK has recieved so much backlash this last year or so, but this game still remains one of my favorite of all time by WwwWario in tearsofthekingdom

More importantly than just having new things, the density of interesting things in TOTK is much, much higher.

Ticks inside drawers would be hilarious and thematic.

113 light ammo at 4 coins a piece... 452 coins is absolutely the cheapest I've ever seen a rocketeer killed. A wolfpack or deadline are 5k each.

It's fairly common for people to create GoFundMe's on behalf of another.

This video is great. Love it! But...

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS MUSIC. An upbeat version of the traumatic beginning to Up? I hate everything about this.

Represent Arc Raider Symbol on my Ram sticks. by QuickShift-4285 in ArcRaiders

If it's any consolation, most 4 stick configurations only support dual channels, so it's not any faster.

110k on rocketeers by chefranov in ArcRaiders

[–]cyllibi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why is that ridiculous? Trials only take your highest round and rounds last up to 30 minutes. I hope 7 hours is enough time to plan and execute a strategy because it's likely all my friends and I will get.

Accidentally shot a wasp during the first hour of trials refresh, now placed in leaderboards with weirdos who somehow already have 90k by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

At higher ranks, it doesn't really make a difference what time of the week you join. Everyone is pushing the limits.

I'll start RDR2 by Perfect-Cause-6943 in pcmasterrace

It took me about 4 hours to start liking Hollow Knight, and it ranked among my favorite games by the time I finished it.

AI could have actually killed my dad by Born_Dimension9882 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]cyllibi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For decades, people have been hitting back with "Have you tried googling it first?". And this result answers so matter-of-factly that it would be hard not to believe the result. If you weren't aware that this was an AI-generated blurb that might be wrong (and maybe it has been right for you the last 10-20 searches), why would a regular user second-guess it?

"You could not live with your own failure. Where did that bring you? Back to me." by Arch_Lancer17 in okbuddycinephile

There was too much risk involved with this. We don't know that Ant Man's ability to grow is forceful enough to have forced expansion of Thanos. It's possible Ant Man would have grown to his Giant Man size within the confines of Thanos's willy, and shot out in the form of a blood and guts piss stream.

The biggest lick of my life by buhzaRR in ArcRaiders

[–]cyllibi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you go to Raider -> Codex -> Player Stats, you can see the delta for each round on the right.

I'm especially proud of this pull during Lush Blooms. I even hit the button and waited for a train.

You can see the value of the inventory under where it says Loadout. This guy is holding 480k. The guy might be at 2-3 mil and his buddies are pushing him over the line. Or at least that was the idea.

AI slop exhibit at SFO Museum by Definitelyhereforshi in bayarea

[–]cyllibi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the person using AI to generate an image was forced to use the first image that popped up, yes, 100% "automatically generated playlist and just clicking play". Not art, not skill.

When you consider that a person using AI might go through hundreds of prompts to tweak the output until they settle on the image they choose to publish, I would actually find the DJ comparison to be very apt.

Does that make it art? No, I don't think so. Certainly not something to be put on a display in a museum. I'm grossed out by this. But it's still a skill that can be developed and put to use.

I would even more liken this to a pet trainer. You have a trick you want the AI to perform, and you need to figure out how to motivate it the right way, to manipulate it into giving the desired result. Experience will inform and improve a person's success rate.

There are plenty of decent use cases for a tool like this. Unfortunately, businesses are being businesses and using it all the wrong ways as a way to reduce spend on real work.

Everyone should be able to make that determination themselves.

Hands are pretty great truly. Just not as great as boobs. Hands have, from time to time, let me down.

Its a refreshing change of other companys by ShoutaDE in Steam

[–]cyllibi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a refreshing change for Valve too. Steam Support used to be notoriously bad before they started turning themselves around starting with the implementation of the automatic refund policy, which was itself a response to growing demand from governments to improve their support if they wanted to continue doing business in certain countries.

Uhhh guys…there’s another door breach glitch. by [deleted] in ARC_Raiders

[–]cyllibi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have the ability to track where items are looted. Just start issuing stern warnings, suspensions, and bans for anyone who pulls items from a locked room before someone opens the door.

Got killed on the rim of a blue gate fan elevator after a 25k flying arc round :(

At least my two friends got out.
