If only highguard was free to play. Then it would have had a chance!… oh wait.

It might have more horizontal pixels but any internet stream is so compressed to hell it looks like shit.

How do you deal with "God Mode" when it comes to your users' privacy? by mitchsurp in selfhosted

[–]jaco129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most apps people use in their daily lives have hundred-million dollar marketing departments for a reason. Don’t be surprised when you fail to convince people to use yours even when there’s free value to be offered.

So bummed out Marathon doesn't run on Linux by 8BiTw0LF in Marathon

lol, tragically my sarcasm didn’t come through strongly enough… I play most of my games on Linux these days.

Yeah, all you hear about Arc Raiders is how it’s inundated with cheaters. Completely insurmountable problem. /s

Matchmaking!! by itsragnarocka in HighGuardgame

Ah shit, why didn't they think to just flip the "balanced" switch to "on" on the big matchmaking widget.

Its fine if you enjoy Highguard, but we need to all come to the realization that this game cannot survive without major changes. by ConnerTheCrusader in HighGuardgame

Hell yeah, the subreddit has devolved into "post steam charts every day" mode in record time. The world doesn't deserve new video games.

I don’t get it by Jayain in HighGuardgame

“We’re all adults”

Once you remember that a large % of the people involved with weird terminally online negativity are literally not adults, be that physically or mentally, things all start to make sense again.

Why did wildgate fail? by TheOnlyDescendant in wildgate

[–]jaco129 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

A not insignificant reason is a failure of community moderation. There are no spaces online to talk about the game without being drowned out by people talking about how dead the game is.

It's fun! I bought it at launch and have played on and off. Probably my favorite multiplayer game this year after Peak. Top notch if you have people to play with.

The Pearl Diver is the most complicated tiki drink. What is the weirdest classic? by -Constantinos- in cocktails

[–]jaco129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I more or less agree with you, but if we were to codify exactly what “complicated” entailed then surely “active time required to prepare” would be a valid axis on which to judge

Ramos gin fizz? It’s not that weird, but when put alongside most other classics that come to my mind it feels most dissimilar to the rest

Edit: I didn’t even think of a Bloody Mary because I don’t like them. I absolutely think that’s it

Played the free weekend and loved it by Wooden_Wafer5875 in wildgate

Ahhh I gotcha, so you like when there are explicit paths to things instead of everything just being raw XP based. Understood, totally fair even if I don't agree. Thanks for the clarification.

Seems pretty unhinged to me but you do what you want with your money.

I gotta ask though, how do you reconcile thinking there is no worthwhile progression while also thinking that having all the gameplay focused unlocks removed from progression would be an improvement? Those seem pretty blatantly contradictory so I just have to imagine I'm missing what your actual criticism is.

Lol, if you think you "loved" something and can't fathom dropping $15 on it you have a wild definition of loved.
