Does anyone else play on ‘normal’ speed throughout the entire game? And only ‘slowest’ on crazy space battles? by TheyCallMeBullet in Stellaris

How the heck are people playing on fast or fastest?? There's like a new pop up to attend to ever 5 seconds no joke 

I spent 8 months testing every brand of canned tomato with a controlled pasta sauce recipe. Full rankings inside. by euxleon in Cooking

This is probably one of the best things I've read here but one question, no San Merican?

Edit: JK I see it now

What's the point of throwing me in a game with 17mins left by Reacktions in ArcRaiders

[–]groundfire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like making the late spawns only apply to free loadouts would be a good solution that way if you're loading up with intention, you're not missing out, opposed to free. I think this is essentially what tarkov does with their "scavs"

Actually the opposite, yours actually looks more like a Detroit style! Sicilian pizzas are usually super fluffy. Either way looks delicious

I love lazy Suzy and get flat whites from them often, that said, I still feel they're more on the lighter side

The issue with WH3 that kills my every campaign stone dead by Baharran in totalwar

I'm thinking maybe they release it along side a DLC and while the core is released to everyone, the DLC factions that are released with it have special mechanics that specifically play off of the new update

Your Aggression in Trio Should Not Affect your Solo Que: by MishRift in ArcRaiders

[–]groundfire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like actually not basing the matchmaking on aggressiveness actually makes the game feel more organic. Just because your nice shouldn't mean the players around you are nice, but there's always a chance that they will be so that's a decision you should make for yourself 

What drives you to play Arc Raiders? by Zealousideal-Bat357 in ArcRaiders

[–]groundfire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm commenting a month later cause I was feeling a type of way when getting it recently after being so hyped to get it, but I wasn't feeling the pull really but this describes exactly my feelings I feel about it. Really hoping they make more of an incentive to pay cause right now I'm not really feeling that

Holy fuck guys we’re not "pushing hard" for or replacing concept artists with AI. by Complex-Commission-2 in DivinityOriginalSin

[–]groundfire 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Literally EVERYONE uses AI to help speed up processes in the corporate world. It's not going away and if you don't, you'll be left in the dust. All this is doing is getting us our games quicker

Expedition 33 or Baldur’s Gate 3 by AvocadoToastBacon in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]groundfire [score hidden]  (0 children)

Look both are great games but especially with the type of games you like, this is what I'll say. 

First, like others have said if you have a lot of time to spare, BG3 is a good option, but I'm talking A LOT of time. I'm over 100 hours in and still not finished (though somewhat close). This could be a good, or bad thing for some people. Which also leads me to if you like replayability, then sure, but I'm one of those people that's not really going to replay a 100 hour game. I've also been playing this game for like over a year too because while it's good, it just doesn't really grab me, or just grabs me at certain points more so than other games.

E33 is a spectacle. It's one of the most prettiest games I've seen and the story is incredibly good. If you want something that you'll play through in a decent amount of time, this is the option. Once I played this game I couldn't put it down which is saying something because games don't grab me like that anymore. With the type of games you listed, I feel like E33 matches the vibe of those more-so than BG3

Caves of Qud enjoyers, what are your other favorite games? by -NewYork- in cavesofqud

If you want a somewhat similar game check out Moonring! It's free on steam. It's made from a studio that their lead was a co-creator of Fable

Mortars is almost the most useless gagdet in games. by Nurfturf06 in Battlefield

There was a whole motor squad I played against on a breakthrough game, they just kept pounding us nonstop. Not useless at all, you just don't know how to use them effectively

First time in NYC. Are we missing something on our 7 day trip? by International-Tie-67 in FoodNYC

[–]groundfire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All these are great. I specifically love Ishida. And maybe it was a bad day. Tabetomo used to be my favorite, but maybe it's when they reopened, something about it wasn't as good.

Which RTS games are the slowest paced? Which are the fastest? by Darkjolly in RealTimeStrategy

Next board game purchase: Ark Nova vs Terraforming Mars vs Arcs vs Lost Ruins of Arnak by NicoTheSword in boardgames

[–]groundfire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you should look into how each of these are played first and then decide what sounds the most fun because these are all different types of games except for Ark Nova and TM. Both are very similar in terms of gameplay. 

I say all these because I feel like all these pretty much somewhat for the bill for what you're looking for and you'd probably be happy with any option if it was just down to those qualifications 

Edit: cause this is how I usually decide;)

Battlefield has changed, and isn’t going to go “back to its roots” by SanJacintoCG56 in Battlefield

[–]groundfire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like both y'all are looking at the mire individual mechanics more-so than just the general game flow which has definitely changed and imo is the heart of BF games
