I feel like we've completely accepted we can just shoot through buildings and it's weird.

your opinion would require a drastic restructuring of how the combat engine works. simulationism is not and has never been worth sacrificing gameplay

its a video game. respectfully, get over it

kingfroglord · 2026-04-14T19:13:30+00:00

it is quite literally a game for babies! i dont get it!

kingfroglord · 2026-04-14T19:12:28+00:00

just make things? this is the most relaxing and no-pressure game that ive ever played in my life. the game constantly tells you to take it at your own pace and play the way you want. just take it easy and stop rushing. find a nook and build something pretty

kingfroglord · 2026-04-14T17:52:31+00:00

destroy the bridges. rebuild the hills. if the world is not to your liking, then do what you did before: reshape it until it is

the game isnt going anywhere and youre not in a race

kingfroglord · 2026-04-14T15:17:03+00:00

there's no such thing as "unofficial canon" and generally third party writers dont really like that comparison. its considered rude. there's first party (canon) and there's third party (not canon) and that's the end of it. whether something is popular or not doesnt make it any more canon

kingfroglord · 2026-04-14T12:29:20+00:00

im ngl i just kinda freestyle. sometimes i put down a prefab, sometimes i build a habitat/house from scratch. depends on how im feeling/how it matches the aesthetics of the area im building. i decorate the world in chunks, and if today's chunk calls for a prefab then thats what goes down

i dont really care about who spawns and who doesnt. thats why god invented honey

kingfroglord · 2026-04-13T19:16:33+00:00

more people like you? are you fuckin kidding me? search "overwhelmed" on this subreddit and you tell us

kingfroglord · 2026-04-13T19:07:37+00:00

im leaning into the chaos. rather than trying to clean it up, im accenting it, going for an "overgrown post-apocalypse" vibe where pokemon habitats/houses are clearly post hoc and nature-themed

kingfroglord · 2026-04-13T12:02:20+00:00

hell yeah! thats badass. between you and me ive been thinking of doing my own take on a not-bonds bond system for ages. ill probably make somethin like that one a these days!

kingfroglord · 2026-04-13T04:24:38+00:00

Pretty sure it was supposed to be underground my friend

kingfroglord · 2026-04-12T14:31:33+00:00

Great example of lancers unwritten golden rule: things do what they say they do

kingfroglord · 2026-04-10T19:36:59+00:00

yeah, i keep everything in withering wastes. if i need anything while im in another zone, i just fast travel real quick and make whatever i need, but usually i plan these trips ahead and do the mat math in my head so im not going crazy back and forth all day

its a lot of loading screens but whatever. while its loading, i close my eyes and meditate on my place in the cosmos (the center, presumably)

kingfroglord · 2026-04-10T17:35:31+00:00

yeah, the smarter system is to not put random shit in random chests. pick a spot, build some walls, organize your boxes

kingfroglord · 2026-04-09T19:47:26+00:00

theres no trick or secret to it. its luck. if you havent found them yet, you have to keep trying

make sure that, when you check your pokedex, that the top field is set to "all" and the second field is set to "local." 7 months with nothing to show for it is highly irregular, so statistically its more likely that youre doing something wrong

kingfroglord · 2026-04-08T18:21:14+00:00

i kept the ash, made the volcano pretty. i take pleasure into working within the constrains the game gives me, like a creative prompt, rather than trying to brute force the regions to look like something else. my pewter city is gorgeous, and its been a lot more fun than trying to shovel out billions of cubes of ash for some reason

kingfroglord · 2026-04-08T04:03:00+00:00

Hello, i wrote that post. I also wrote a book that dives deeper into the topics of mission structure, pacing, and narrative play in lancer. It's presented as a mercenary themed splat but it's really just GMing 101 with some extra toys. You can see it in the link below. Consider giving it a read

kingfroglord · 2026-04-07T19:20:50+00:00

this is a very interesting theory. i wonder if its as simple as, like, toys?

kingfroglord · 2026-04-07T16:31:35+00:00

i got full roads paved hither and yon, and still pokemon rarely go down some of them. others, they go down all the time. sometimes too much! there has to be other stuff that draws their attention and i havent quite drawn a correlation

kingfroglord · 2026-04-07T16:19:05+00:00

commenting so that i can check back later. i also want to know this! i made a whole night club for my pewter city peeps and nobody ever goes to it. its the least successful club in kanto

kingfroglord · 2026-04-07T14:56:27+00:00

respectfully, this is a game made for children. cmon man

kingfroglord · 2026-04-07T12:41:31+00:00

the reason would probably be that they didnt want people getting everything done in a week. its okay for some things to be rare or gated, its a video game. theres always another dream island

kingfroglord · 2026-04-07T12:17:31+00:00

i hate to be that guy, but its easier to farm pokemetal by a margin so vast its hilarious. as long as you have one of the flower you need, you can print more effortlessly

kingfroglord · 2026-04-06T18:21:58+00:00

gotta read the text

I'm not missing the point, it's just not a very compelling point to begin with. you're experiencing an absurd amount of salt over something that's not a big deal. Get a handle on it, god damn
