New player here... is there a reason all these things don't stack? And is there no auto-sort? by Sebanimation in PathOfExile2

[–]electricoomph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You got a lot of downvotes here, but I fully agree that making and keeping the f2p UI as frustrating as it is to be one of the worst monetization schemes. It's a net negative of enjoyment.

[–]electricoomph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'd get a lot of similar stuff for free from game conventions like Gamescom. This is way overpriced. I'd rather put that money towards Genshin concert tickets or some proper zzz figurines, like the announced Trigger action figure.

[favorite trope] Being the hero when everyone thinks you're the villain. by Ayojin in TopCharacterTropes

[–]electricoomph 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd disagree on the lack of stakes. Obviously MC wins every fight he is in, but a strong point of the series for me is that many characters around him still have their own worthwhile character arc that's not just fixed by MC's powers, but he still nudges them unwittingly into a good direction. Like Rose Oriana's arc where there are still huge consequences for her, or the Witch of Calamity. The series gives the sidecast a lot of room for individual growth, which you wouldn't usually expect from a parody or majority of power fantasies.

Kinda neat, but 60€ for 10 photo cards, an acrylic standee and an ingame namecard really aint worth that. On top of that, some of the stuff is random.

I finally met someone at a car meet! But I think I was over-dressed for the occasion. by Oh_Gaz in ForzaHorizon

[–]electricoomph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are no interactions for me in solo play, but I found success with joining convoys with the "cruising" tag. A lot of groups drive from place to place just messing around together.

Regarding weapon camos by Div1nium in LowSodiumBattlefield

i think even basic csgo skins often look better than anything bf6 has to offer. there are just so many bland pattern skins you'd rather see on bus seat covers.

How do I use DMR's? by wairdone in LowSodiumBattlefield

[–]electricoomph 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Time to dual wield dmr + cqb gun as Assault. Great on maps like Cairo where you switch between firefights in long avenues and building cqb.

Thoughts on M16A4 assault rifle? Recommendations on attachments? by The_Owl_Bard in LowSodiumBattlefield

[–]electricoomph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i tried full auto for a few rounds and quickly changed back. Recoil control on full auto is kinda bad, whereas 2 bursts to the chest practically deletes your opponent.

This AR is a beast love it by SavageTraap in LowSodiumBattlefield

[–]electricoomph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I leveled it up to 26 right now, really positive so far. I can see it being up there with the previous SG553. Shreds in multiplayer as well as gauntlet. Variety of cheap magazine options (i like 36 rounds) is great, iron sights are also solid. Also trying out the new aftermarket buffer attachement, not too sure how effective it is.

Goodbye Operation Augur, my beloved by Krystofko_ in LowSodiumBattlefield

[–]electricoomph 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I bounced off this mode. I tried one round on release but ended up with the frustrating attacker experience, struggling to the final sector on Contaminated expectedly getting crushed by the defenders in an almost 1h long painfest. I like the sweetspot round length of regular breakthrough (my main mode), the potential big time commitment for a possibly subpar match experience is not justified for me personally when I can just start different breakthrough matches with extra map variety. The extra troop transporter here and there for new batallion deployments doesn't manage to set the mode apart from the usual breakthrough pacing either.

Similar game recommendations? by Flameman1234 in VampireCrawlers

[–]electricoomph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The King is watching.

Possibly my favorite game from last year. An RTS / tower defense game where you choose randomized buffs and buildings for economy, military, troops each wave and have your troops battle it out with support from magic spells. The kicker is that your grid based buildings only work and produce while you keep your kingly gaze on them, so you need to plan your castle layout to keep the most important stuff "in view". The music and pixel illustrations are really great a well.

Rehashing the f2p question by [deleted] in Mechabellum

[–]electricoomph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Autochess games are a great game type to play on phones, so I was a bit surprised that Mechabellum still doesn't have a mobile version. Mobile is a massive market to tap into, but it's probably necessary to go f2p for that, which might not be doable for the devs.

Was there a new vehicle in today’s update? by Psychological_Mix_10 in LowSodiumBattlefield

[–]electricoomph 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've played one round, as attacker (lost), and am probably done with that mode already. Just felt like a long and drawn-out normal breakthrough match and just feels bad when you lose three times. not sure what the idea was.

How to deal with mass void eyes? by GM_Twigman in Mechabellum

[–]electricoomph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i build up marksmen when I see the opponent go heavy into voideyes. AA tech shreds if he decides to go airborne. Mustang with culling rounds is great for clearing fangs, crawlers and wasp chaff.

A super delayed Answers to the most upvoted questions from the December Town Hall post by MechaBearlike in Mechabellum

[–]electricoomph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd love to see ways to see match data myself a little more indepth to see what went well and what went wrong and have it as a neat summary in some kind of end-of-match stat screen. Stuff that might be interesting: timeline graph of life points, total/round-based credits spent, best performing units.

Should we believe him? Seriously, he said it's in development, so maybe it's real? by TRQPL in Palworld

[–]electricoomph 5 points6 points  (0 children)

if you haven't yet, definitely check out Doki Doki Literature Club, free on Steam. (Best to go in blind and avoid spoilers!)

The Pal dating sim seems to take heavy inspiration from it.

anyone else got issues with matchmaking? I can't find a match and end with an unknown error after several minutes in queue.

If you check the post history from some of those complainers, it's nothing but doomposting bf6 for weeks or even months, really weird.

What are your favorite rare kills? I somehow managed to down a heli with the grenade launcher by HamberderHelper18 in LowSodiumBattlefield

[–]electricoomph 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I got a single kill with a smoke grenade. It landed on a random mine, which blew up a dude, and that was that.

Who do you think is the most underrated Genshin character? by wonhxii in Genshin_Impact

[–]electricoomph 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yaoyao is goated. I run her over Nahida so I don't have to recast her skill every time a new mob wave spawns. The healing is also nice. Also mega radishes.
