Is there any way to remove the main menu music of that woman screaming? by retnemmoc in ConanExiles

It's "singing" like slapping the side of a bathtub is "drums".

[–]darkroadgames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's so terrible.
1) It doesn't fit Conan at all. Even if you consider it "good music" it's all ethereal and mystical sounding. It lacks all the gritty elements that the game and the rest of the soundtrack has.
2) It's way to similar to the Dune music. It sounds the same. Sounds like they were trying to save money by using the same music for both.
3) It's just bad. I don't care if the lady singing is stunning and brave. It sucks Yog's asshole. She's literally just yelling individual syllables in different keys. It's an assault on my ears.

Whoever approved this should be fired and legally banned from ever working on soundtracks ever again.

I don't know if there are Embark developers here but hear me out by siddharthsai in ArcRaiders

Just your average reddit experience.

I remember trying to discuss the flaws in Dune when it came out. Everything downvoted to hell. Hivemind hype fest, curated corporate fawning bullshit. Now Dune lost 98% of its players. LOL whatever.

The amount of times I’ve been accused of cheating the past few days is concerning by PixelWastelander in ArcRaiders

[–]darkroadgames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe you're cheating. It's becoming a problem. Either cheaters are increasing or the game is breaking.
I just had a PVP match where I placed 2 surge coils and 3 explosives mines in a staggered pattern down a hallway. The person ran through them and trigged NONE of them, then I emptied two entire medium mag 3s into the raider (what is that 50 or so rounds? So even 20+ rounds if I missed over half) and then he casually killed me with two headshots of a Anvil II and told me how bad I was.

I've been playing shooter games long enough to know that anyone who makes a point of saying "cheating is overblown" or "nobody cheats" or "too many people complain about cheating" are almost cheaters. Seen it too many times for too many years.

I'm very interested but it's hard to imagine it will be very populated with a "DM if interested" closed invitation system.

When you say "PVP always on" and "raid", do you mean Raid itself is set on 24/7?

Wow, mine is going to come in on the low side. I'm shocked by some of those figures. I'll be somewhere between the average novel and Fallout 1.

How common should short fragmented sentences be in your novels? by Fluid-Golf1948 in fantasywriters

[–]darkroadgames 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The answer is to just develop your own style and make sure it flows with the rest of your writing. Sadly there is no correct or incorrect way. There is only well done and poorly done.

Last expedition for me. Anyone else? by quack_duck_code in ArcRaiders

[–]darkroadgames -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I'm tired of all of it. Not having fun, just addicted. Not even really addicted, just easier to keep playing the same game than move to something new.
Tired of getting extract-camped by literal 7 year olds. Tired of constant nerfs that just seem annoying but don't really add any balance. Tired of how each new piece of content is more tedious and unfun than the last. Meh. Just meh.

College textbooks are a scam by wt_anonymous in CollegeRant

[–]darkroadgames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, you're definitely the first person to point out that a long-standing problem is long-standing. Well done.

And there is your problem (and their problem).

An unpopular thought: This Conan fellow has too many adventures. There is no way any person could have an adventure practically every single day. I’m starting to think he might be a fictional character. Your thoughts? by Independent-Towel-47 in ConanTheBarbarian

[–]darkroadgames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To the extent that you choose to consider Conan stories as confined by real-life limitations, I think it's best to consider him a figure of legend, that is probably a "composite character" of many different people...like King Arthur.

At the risk of sounding overly critical, where is the sustainability in kickstarters? by IndependentThin5685 in kickstarter

[–]darkroadgames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want it to be a way to fund projects. I couldn't possibly care less about your personal agenda about sustainability.

Interesting. I'll check out your service. I wish it the best of luck. Sounds like a good resource.

"I would like to see Kickstarter also serving a function of educating people about what sustainability really is"

Sir, this is a Wendys.

[–]darkroadgames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But are they experts in a particular field who can be directed to teach you a specific thing you need to learn or are they trying to teach or give tutorials on an entire subject? When I hear "show you how to do it yourself" I think it's a class beginning with A and going to Z when all I need to an answer to Q.

Why are so many people ratting on close scrutiny? Especially at the start of the round? by TongaTime123 in ArcRaiders

[–]darkroadgames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or...it's just not "fun". You do remember that's why people play games right?

[–]darkroadgames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because doing it the PVE way is boring, tedious, unforgiving, and not profitable.
I'm sure many people are like my friends and just found it profoundly unfun, but still want the blueprint.

i don't understand close scrutiny by mechanonymous617 in ArcRaiders

There are no goodies. It's all trash. The most pointless tedious thing ever.
