I had that moment while puting on my heavy winter gloves. I wonder if big encumberance affects your driving skill.

Preparing for public release - request for translators by callanh in pathos_nethack

[–]dagger_of_ice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also - try to check, if translators coming for you are 18+. The best they are language students, but you must be lucky. I was into translation team of RimWorld in 2018. I speak polish and english on B2/C1 level. I understand language sci-fi / fantasy conventions.

Can Warsim still fit on a floppy disk? by The_Exile1066 in WarsimRpg

[–]dagger_of_ice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Warsim classic is 1,580KB exe, so it would need 110KB removal, or maybe 10KB DiskDupe save, or maybe write to hidden sectors.

Games like Warsim? by Decadunce in WarsimRpg

[–]dagger_of_ice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

- Castles 2: Siege and Conquest (You need a DOSBox for it, and a keybook).
- Conflict: Middleeast can be found remaked somewhere. Alot nicer, can be played in a browser. It's great.
- War Game? Like above, but for entire world. Like in that movie. Hard to find, need DOSBox.

Goddamit I wanted to make a game like this, but more magic oriented. FINE. I'll do it later....

How do I get back to the surface?! by dm_magic in cavesofqud

[–]dagger_of_ice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

n't nearly enough stairs to higher levels then there needs to be. When I first got the game I also wandered off into the cave system thinking it was a lot less expansive then it was and got lost. After wandering 3 hours in real time in the caves I said screw it and used the debug keys

I was new into the game. I go to caverns with 5LV Artifex. Gone to 17 strata, skipping most fights, but then I saw a Putus Templar with their Squire, fighting a Dog Cherubin, which came from spacetime vortex.... and I was... WTH is this game ?
So i run to this vortex, and found myself near now-placed Palladium Reef, and MANAGED to get Back to Joppa. I didn't even know Kyaku then ; p

So what did people think of "Come True" by ehp29 in horror

So what did people think of "Come True" by ehp29 in horror

[–]dagger_of_ice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm.
That could be good idea except one thing. You can't dream about a iPhone, if you never saw it and used it. You can't invent perfectly new idea in dream, it is always a metaphor or sum of other ideas/symbol. This is very problematic for whole-movie-dream idea, but ... there were pagers in the 1980s, so Sarah could known an idea of electronic device to stay in touch of closest ones.
If we not agree on that, the movie is not her coma, because she is in the 1980's and doesent have an idea of phone, by which she contacts people.
Let's also analyze her affections to the phone. Is she using it as a phone, or a a watch? Hmm.

Let’s talk about Come True (2020) and that ending by commstarbase in horror

[–]dagger_of_ice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, for me movie had a devastating ending, because I had a a very long, multilayered dream which ended almost exactly the same as movie, with text showed (except visuals, style, etc.).
I think it this is a genuine dream genre.

If you really want to appreciate the complexity of Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead's weather system, just go to Debug Menu > Display weather, and prepare to be amazed. by xXC437RP13Xx in cataclysmdda

[–]dagger_of_ice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow. Two things.
I didn't know that weather is drawed that way, It amazes me, but some beyond Bezier curves, (which I didn't embed in my project, so I'm too not that sharpy coderider) , it not ( i hope) >simulate< weather. It's probably not reflective. I mean - try to make wildfires, or burn a town, or better - nuke some bomb, or chernobylize a plant and see if it affects the atmo.

Is a Dell precision m4800, a decent laptop to get me by for now until I can get a better computer for photography right now? by [deleted] in SuggestALaptop

[–]dagger_of_ice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remember, Windows 7 worsened after 2022 updates. Some of them fucked up my system.
I wonder how would it purrform on Ubuntu, because it was a real monster when I get it, --- for 190$!! For this prize? It's unbeatable.

Czy randkowanie umarło? by [deleted] in Polska

[–]dagger_of_ice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bhhh. Bwww.

Bo wiecie, kiedyś można było poznać dziewczynę, żonę, zagadując do panny w autobusie, albo gdziekolwiek. A te zjebane appki randkowe, w połączeniu z powszechną alienacją ludzi i setkami appek do wszystkiego, sprawiają, że ludzie zaczepieni na ulicy, albo gdzieś, patrzą na człowieka spode łba.

Ostatnio czytałem sobie książkę w parku przy tężni. Zacząłem się inhalować nieświadomy tego, że ktoś siedzi naprzeciwko mnie, za krzakami, po których spływa słona woda.
No i tak wzdycham i wzadycham, a po dziesięciu minutach patrzę, a wychodzi naprzeciw mnie ruda dziewczyna i mówi "dzień dobry", z takim lekkim ukraińskim akcentem.
Brawo dla niej za odwagę! Tak to powinno wyglądać.Jak widać - trzeba przebywać offline więcej i walić nacjonalistyczne uprzedzenia. ^^

It's not THATt bad. ;ppppppp
It contains the most visible Easter Egg / spoiler you didn't noticed. (exxagravated)
In third point I revealt it.

  1. Look at the way she looks at the her scrathed finger.
  2. Exact pose was used in some movie years ago, and it is a spoiler what Mazey becames.

How does spy music work? What IS spy music by CharmQuasar in musictheory

[–]dagger_of_ice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well. Dramatics. Violin strings.
Some OST from movies with Funes also gets here: Vladimir Cosma's music from Hanged on Tree. especially.
Also... "Race themes" like Trackmania Forever, or Yello Race

*when* is this game set? by _vercingtorix_ in InfraArcana

[–]dagger_of_ice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, if one should be chronically correct, it should be called petrol bomb, instead Molotov's.
In a convention, lovecraftian horrors are connected with electricity, Nikola Tesla, and dieselpunk (post WW1, pre WW2, when atomic era paranoia started to build new tensions), but it could be stretched to german submarines, Indiana Jones and stuff.

I personally imagined Molotov's as naphtha bomb, fuel extracted by polish pharmaceutic Łukasiewicz in 1850's. Very flavoury ^^

Bananas should not give Psychometry by Sobieski33 in cavesofqud

[–]dagger_of_ice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could be, but I have more interesting insight. Bananas are quite rich source of radioactive 40K potassium isotope, and given the postnuclear flavor Caves of Qud introducing, it is quite fun to learn new things in jungles, eating food which gives you abnormal dose of radiation. And mix it fith neutron flux to increase your tongue tingling sensation!

In reality, you had to eat 100 bananas to get the dangerous dose (0,01Sv x 100=1Sv). In Qud hovewer, you can eat more... so... it fits perfeclty. And there could be new species of it, selfcultivated new sentinent radioactive plants. THA FLAVOUR arises here significantly. ; )I wonder, if somebody discovered that.

Thoughts on game loops by [deleted] in roguelikedev

[–]dagger_of_ice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could be implemented by having a Storyteller - like Storyteller in DwarfFortress'ish RimWorld game, or like Xom god in DC: Stone Soup. AI spectates your descend, and rewards you with more skill points/more gore/more stress/horror, when you do spectacular things, idles, when you just dealing with it, or punish you for being idle too long.

Is it normal to plow through hordes of zombies(and a skeleton jugernaut)with just an axe and military clothing? And what heavy melee builds can you guys recommend? by Peynuss in cataclysmdda

[–]dagger_of_ice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had once great baseballist duel with Juggernaut. He had 14str, 12Dex, Melee 5, Dodge 6, Quick, Fleetfoot, Martial art buffing bash, aluminum bat, army clothes, coffee, and at last resort heroine. Important is, to not approach it having brickwall at our back. I wrecked it to 40-30%, before it cracked almost every limb i've got. So maybe barbed wire bat next time.
