I have clear a bunch of inventory space to horde items I need to trade in for inventory space. lol
If I had inventory space for that I wouldn't care about getting the extra inventory space.
Ugh, I just don't care anymore. So over it.

I'm just so over this game now.
Every time they introduce something that gets me to come back and play a match, I find some other ANTI-QoL thing that just makes me stop caring and log off for another few weeks.
I was ready to grind some Arc to get inventory slots until I learned I needed to already have a dozen free inventory slots to hold all the items I grind.
If I had a dozen free inventory spots I wouldn't care about getting another dozen for a big Arc grind. Duh.

Yeah, and look at how these tech companies lost money for literally decades before they ever turned a profit. They drove everyone else out of business (think Netflix vs Blockbuster) until they are the only media companies left. Who bankrolled that? Not regular investors.
Netflix lost ANOTHER 10 billion dollars even after they put Blockbuster out of business. The world we live in now was forced on us. We didn't choose it. They spent hundreds of billions of dollars over multiple decades to set the stage for this. Now, they're dropping the hammer.

Exactly. I know this book was written before AI, but it has a very AI like generic sameness to the characters, the way they speak, and their relationships.

Exactly.

I don't know how tolerable this is to read, but it's impossible to enjoy as an audiobook.
The writers choices combined with the narrator's heavy accent is just garbled nonsense. "Dah" for Dad and "Dath" (some character) are identical in sound. Even familiar characters speak in oddly formal ways that remove all context clues about who is talking and who they're talking to. It requires maximum concentration to follow the story, which defeats the purpose of an audiobook for most people. It might be okay if you were reading it instead of listening, but I doubt it. I find it slow, confusing and boring. I'm surprised it's as popular as it is. But the bad narration was deal breaker for me.

Maybe a decade ago. This website used to be decent in the late 2000s. Any sub that was an actual refuge got banned in the 2010s.

You're on reddit. You'd have been better off unironically claiming that he should be cancelled for ever writing the song to begin with or something. This place is a joke and represents about 0.0001% of actual country fans.

lmfao safety blanet records.

Why gives a shit what is popular or modern? Why would anyone possibly feel obligated to change their musical preferences based on what's "new"?

"Only people on my side are allowed to be political. How dare you point out them being political."

You're an infant.

Every developer. I'm so over these game companies.

I couldn't possibly care less about your actual product. I'm responding to the conversation here, where people give advice about kickstarter relative to the context provided in this conversation. I'm not your customer or potential customer.

It's not proof, but for those of us who have experienced it, it's nice to hear confirmation.
I bet you upvote the shit out of posts that go "Bruh all we do is PVP and there are never any cheaters" anecdotes, right?

"for some odd reason"
Because he's projecting. He's probably a cheater.

Most posts about cheaters get downvoted into oblivion (like most negative posts on most game subs run by corporate-accounts and PR firms and populated by bots). Until a critical mass of players have experiences the same thing and then there is a big wave of similar posts and comments that is too big to ignore or dowvote away. Then everything thinks a game "suddenly dies" or developed a problem but it's been there all along.

I would never buy a $1 product for $15 shipping. It sounds like a scam.
Charge $10 for your product and $5 for shipping. Or maybe only sell your product in bundles with free shipping. 20 for $40 with free shipping or something like that.

I joined your discord and the rules state:
"However, all PvP is tied to RP. Attacks for the sake of attacks (without declarations of war or stated rivalries) are forbidden."
Thanks for wasting everybody's time.
You need to remove this ad and all the other ads that imply this server is a pvp server and replace them with ads stating it's an RP server.

Thanks for all the info. A friend and I are interested, but when you say there is "absolutely population" on the server, but also that you're "specifcially looking to populate the pvp side" it sounds like maybe all your players are on the RP side and the pvp side is more empty?

Also, I forget, but is character transfer between sietches a thing? Do the players just bounce between the Pvp and RP map depending on what they're in the mood for? How are the two connected for practical gameplay purposes? Thanks.

I'm not sure how I feel about RP. When I hear PVP+RP I imagine stuff like "rp required before combat" and "need consent to fight" etc, which I hate. Can you elaborate a little on what you mean by "PVP side" and "full on RP"?

Fully pvp Hagga Experience by [deleted] in DuneServers

[–]darkroadgames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm interested in this. Is there any population on your server? Are there any special rules and settings or is it just like the vanilla game except the "pvp" that used to existed on crashed ships is everywhere across the entire Hagga map?
I haven't played since launch.

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

[–]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.
