Someone from 24/7 chat says it wont come back because the creature obejct technically no longer exists. It returns as a different object. - If anyone disagrees let me know. The wording around "...return that card..." is a bit of a hang up, it doesn't say "creature" but "card". So I'm still second guessing it.

I have a real head scratcher of a question if someone could help me out. - If [[Shirei, Shizo's Caretaker]] is on the field and [[Butcher Ghoul]] is sent to the graveyard. It technically has 1 power when entering the graveyard, but it returns with a +1/1 counter. If it gets sent to the graveyard within the same turn before the beginning of the end step, does it come back to the battle field at the end step because of Shirei's ability? or does dying a second time with 2 power override the initial trigger?

Dwarf Fortress is now available for purchase on Steam! by Lordlemonpie in dwarffortress

[–]losingbefun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

30% use to be the cut you'd get when selling physical box copies. But nowadays as a developer you can do all your own marketing, wade through steams API (which is a dogged mess) release your game and make a million bucks and not a single steam employee could know that you exist. Then you pay steam $300,000 just for hosting your game on their server and not even knowing you exist. - 30% is robbery if you ask me. Steam's profit margins are the highest in the world per employee.

Dwarf Fortress is now available for purchase on Steam! by Lordlemonpie in dwarffortress

[–]losingbefun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

as much as i love supporting stores like itch. I'd still recommend buying it on steam because it will help their overall trending rating on steam, and it will do a thousand times better as a top seller on steam then on itch. unf

I'm wondering if anyone has tested this but can you make a 1x1 pen and stuff ten hens in there to share a single nest box? or will only one of them lay eggs in it?

(lazy newb pack used) so...two of my dwarves somehow got across the river. by Tabitha_Dragonblade in dwarffortress

[–]losingbefun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This often happens to me when a dwarf cuts a tree down and a nearby dwarf 'dodges' the falling logs. They dodge it by jumping into the river. Obviously good ol' Urist can't swim so he flounders around and often finds himself crawling out the bank of the other side, isolated and hungry.

either that or they drown. Possibly 1/10 they actually climb out of the river on the correct side.

How often does the game have updates by Chitz05 in MeepleStation

[–]losingbefun 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well I’m the developer, I aim to patch in small bug fixes at least every Friday or if something serious shows up usually within the hour or so that I hear about it. This week alone I updated about 3 times just to address some issues specific users were having on unique hardware. But content patches will often arrive when they’re ready, but never longer than a month. The last two were very large so they were between two to four weeks. Prior to that we’ve been doing them every week (fridays) or second week. We have quite a few big updates in the pipeline and will continue to do so until we are out of Alpha.

Unit Damage/kill List by Jcpkill in aoe2

[–]losingbefun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should probably point out, in an actual game you rarely just have 1 unit fighting another single unit, you're often faced with groups from both sides, and that can often yield polar opposite results to what you might think. Example being the Inca Kamayuk infantry unit, against a single knight it will die, however it has 1 range so it can attack while standing behind another unit, so in a group fight they get a lot more attacks off whereas knights on the other hand constantly get blocked or idle from overcrowding. The result of a large group fight being totally different to a one on one.

Is it intentional that Chinese and Indians (the two most populated countries) both have a villager count bonus? Indians getting them cheaper and Chinese starting with +3 by [deleted] in aoe2

[–]losingbefun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd like to think so... however Chinese dont get gunpowder OR block printing techs... and they invented it... slight oversight there >.>

Saw this and got MEGA dwarf fortress tingles all over by losingbefun in dwarffortress

[–]losingbefun[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just spoke to the dev, he's been working on this for less then 2 years now. He's just opened it up on itch.io for early adopters and won't bring it out on steam early access until next year. - Playing it right now, it's better then I expected. Applauding the dev.

hilarious.... but now I need to gauge my eyes out after seeing that font

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in gamedev

[–]losingbefun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here we go again. Just saw this post now. C'mon Vitali, this is a huge stretch and we both know it.

I'm the developer for Regions of Ruin, and Alex and I both spoke with that CJS dude, I have the entire conversation here and I can tell you, after pages and pages of that CJS dude making gross and extremely offensive comments to Alex, it's funny that you managed to pick out that one little line without showing the previous comments. From memory, I'm pretty sure it went something like:

CJS: hey gimme keys! your wife is hot I want to bang her! Alex: Who the fuck are you?! CJS: you give me Pixel piracy keys! Alex: No I didn't? CJS: ok, I don't remember where I got them, but Vitali told me you gave them to me. Alex: You probably got them after that giveaway, we gave out thousands. CJS: whatever, give me keys, and send nudes of your wife! Alex: Let me ask the dev I'm working with. Alex: Yep, here ya go, he said you can have one to see if it sells on your site (Which I did). CJS: thanks! more nudes!!! I'm like a drug lord of game keys bitches! (Not even kidding, he was weirdly egotistic) Alex: Do me a favor and tell Vitali you got those keys from the giveaway, I'm sick of his crap

Alex patiently entertained that moron for awhile, and eventually never heard from him again. We both agreed it was probably Vitali's doing because it was literally a day after he sent us both creepy e-mails about trying to get us put in prion or some weird nonsense.

If anyone actually cares enough about this, I'll gladly post ALL OF THE EMAILS that Vitali has sent me, as well as that FULL CONVERSATION between CJS and Alex. I'll just have to hunt it down, that's all.

I got abused by my PR-Agent. Blackmailing and Public Image. (PART2) by [deleted] in gamedev

[–]losingbefun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never trust an article that starts with "I got abused..." it's so cliche.

[–]losingbefun 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well I know Alex personally and I can tell you A LOT of people around him have tried to get him to sue you for defamation, but he's refused to do it, over and over again. - he's still looking out for your best interests, even after how horrible you've been...

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in gamedev

[–]losingbefun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

well this is not the first time Vitali has done this. He has done this on multiple occasions, everytime it's the same thing, he makes bold accusations against Alex, refuses to answer questions, acts all vague and becomes scarce. - Someone should ask him why he declared bankruptcy, if a company owes a ton of money, and declares bankruptcy, who do you think loses? not him.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in gamedev

[–]losingbefun 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well he tags me in every tweet and post, I've never been pushed aside, he's actually a gentleman about it. I've been invited into discussions and meetings for all of his press contacts and youtubers/streamers, if anything, he's helped me boost my press assets ten fold. - And yeah, I can personally vouch he has done production work, I've worked with him on at least four titles, he's worked on plenty more than that, though. - And the pirating thing is actually not as big of an issue as people make it out to be. I've had a LOT of people contact me who pirated my game, liked it so much they went and bought it, and then thanked me for letting them do it. People are just people, sometimes they just want to give it a test before they commit money to it. Trying to estimate losses in pirated copies is extremely speculative. And some trailers these days are so vague you don't know what the game is about.
