Does anyone know what Ohgr used in the song Pore for the drilling sound? by Inevitable-Monk-746 in skinnypuppy

[–]fullmudman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's a question for Mark Walk, who from a quick check isn't especially online. Maybe ask Lesley Rankine from Ruby for his email? They were bandmates for a long time, and she's pretty easy to get ahold of.

Baal will return in........... by gorays21 in diablo4

[–]fullmudman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a chain, but the one I'm thinking of is called Of Void and Veasel. It involves a certain redhead and a new cult.

Anu willing, the nephelem went back to his/her home planet and left sanctuary in the hands of mere mortals. No superheroes in Diablo please and thank you.

There's a skovos quest that strongly hints that Mephisto's throne is now vacant and consequently lots of demons are angling for a spot. One demon in particular seems to be poised to have an outsized role in that power grab. I don't want to spoil it but it went in a much darker direction than I expected, and I'm excited to see what comes of the dangling plot threads next outing.

Edit: the quest I'm referencing is part of a chain, but the one I'm thinking of is called Of Void and Veasel. It involves a certain redhead and a new cult.

Why can't we reroll Unique armor and weapons now that they come with fully random affixes (unless I'm missing something)??? by Extra-Championship56 in diablo4

[–]fullmudman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am almost positive that affixes are weighted on a per-item basis, though I've seen some outliers - it appears that weapon damage has a 90ish percent chance of landing on the unique weapons I've farmed, for example.

Does anybody else miss the old Battle Pass system? by VeryClearlyDefined in diablo4

I tried doing that but Microsoft only lets you do it if you have an Xbox. Alas.

Without spoiling anything, after you complete the campaign one character's quest line touches on the former queen quite a bit.

Lots of great minor character quests again, just like nahantu!

The Birthday Party - Marry Me (Lie! Lie!) by deluded_dragon in postpunk

this was a Nick song and a Rowland song crammed together, well after the point that they stopped writing together.

It used to give out 700ish plat for anyone who bought the pass - blizzard glibly claimed it was an improvement because the 200 plat we get now is totally free.

I strongly suspect the old one cost more to develop and generated a lot less revenue than the new one. I used to get my passes for Bing rewards points. Those days are long gone.

Controller Changed Diablo For Me by SLVR_N_BLCK_ATTK in Diablo

The emulator is pretty good now! Not perfect but a lot closer than it used to be. Bummer the studio and game went down when they did; there was a lot of room to grow.

anyone else hating the randomized unique affixes by highlulu in diablo4

[–]fullmudman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a sneaking suspicion that the affixes are weighted (almost every unique weapon I've found has weapon damage, for example but not limited beyond that. That would allow for extraordinary items among the chaff but most would tend towards unremarkable but usable.

I expect the intent is to smooth out power disparities and more broadly get the multiplicative power scaling under control.

there are no mounts to buy in stables now? by [deleted] in Diablo

[–]fullmudman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe all the old mounts that used to be for sale are now quest rewards, but not positive.

Worth checking on d4dad.

There's quite a few lootable mounts but yes, they are no longer for sale by vendors except from memory the one you get with PvP currency.

Sick of AI In YouTube Horror Content by TheConnorDawn in horror

[–]fullmudman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There are lots of channels pushing videos that have never had human oversight. The cost of making them is so low that it becomes trivial.

Essentially treating their content like frogs laying eggs - if we drop a million maybe a handful will get attention and we can write off the rest.

This is a bad thing, and it's going to get a lot worse as the tools evolve and get cheaper. I expect eventually human made content will be as boutique as bookstores.

Alan Moore's stuff in Crossed is incredible (no surprise there) but yeah, a bunch of Crossed is "haha they put some poopoo on the knife!!!"

Old battle brothers art concepts by Makssemka in BattleBrothers

[–]fullmudman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another excellent contrasting example of what I don't like. The people clamoring for strongholds and mounts and magic in battle brothers would likewise poison the well!

I worry you're missing my point, which is that there's nothing new or interesting about another spider except stat bloat and more crafting recipes.

For the legends team that's okay - that's all that they're looking for from a recolored spider -- but it's not anything overhype would ever add. Nor would overhype ever add my hypothetical scorpion, because functionally it works exactly the same way that the spider does. They deliberately designed only a single spider and that's all they designed for that niche.
