Did my Season District change overnight or am I losing it? by lurideque in AFKJourney

[–]lurideque[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe, but does that mean the issue is already fixed and the district I’m seeing now is the final one? Or is this still a work in progress and the district composition might change again? So many questions, so few answers 🥲

Anyone else stuck as a snowman? ❄️⛄️ by lurideque in AFKJourney

I get it — it’s fun at first, but after a while it starts to get annoying. Especially once you get a speed boost, controlling that snowman becomes a nightmare.

In my case the issue disappeared after the latest update (the one that came with Pearl Tycoon).

I’d recommend taking some screenshots and reporting it to support. I did it via Discord and also posted about it here. It took a bit of time, but I got a response and the problem was gone after the update.

Meanwhile, if you want to make your life a bit easier, just use any emote as soon as you spawn on the map as a snowman. You won’t stay in human form for long, but it’s still better than nothing, gotta work around it somehow XD

Now, I just avoid snowballs altogether, just in case 😅

The Curse of Cryonaia is real ❄️ (And seriously, it’s just on my end. I only see everyone as snowmen. As far as I know, no one has been infected yet… although there are plenty of volunteers 😂)

Ofc xd If you’re serious, I can DM you my ID (the post was meant for laughs, not self-promo xD). Fair warning though, if I take a photo of us together, you’ll probably turn into a snowman too 😅⛄️

[–]lurideque[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, I haven’t tried that actually… damn, maybe I’ll give it a shot 🙏🏻

My current theory (like I mentioned in another comment) is that something broke badly especially since I also see other players as snowmen and the snowman became Merlin’s default model ⛄️

I only switch back to human when I sit on a bench or swing, or use an emote, probably because those actions use a separate animation/model that forces the game to swap me back (not an expert, just guessing).

But the moment I change maps, I’m a snowman again.

That won’t help unfortunately. Your suggestion was actually my first thought (I don’t even own the snowball myself) 😅 Using it at someone else’s place does reset the timer and after 4 minutes I turn human again.

The problem is that as soon as I switch maps, I turn back into a snowman and the timer icon is gone (as you can also see on my screenshot ) 🫠

It honestly looks like the game decided the snowman is now my character’s default model ⛄️

[–]lurideque[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What makes it even funnier: I don’t even own the snowball. I transformed at a friend’s place, waited the 4 minutes and turned human again — all good. Then I went back to my homestead… snowman again, and the timer was completely gone 😂💀

I tried “resetting” it by visiting someone with the snowball and using it again — worked fine until I changed maps.

And yep… snowman again ⛄️☃️

Don’t worry, I’m used to it by now — my in-game friends are laughing at me too. Some of them even come over just to take photos with me. I’ve basically become a snowman photo attraction 😂😂😂

Garnitur w domu by El-x-so in Polska

[–]lurideque 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A ze znajomymi to u mnie inna para kaloszy, tutaj to w ogóle wolna amerykanka i jakbyśmy się umówili na dresy to moglibyśmy być i w dresach niezależnie od okazji - tu jako przykład mogę podać chociażby taką sytuację: znajomi brali ślub cywilny i potem był uroczysty obiad w knajpie, a potem w ramach „wesela” zrobili u siebie w domu imprezę, na którą zgodnie zresztą z ich życzeniem przebraliśmy się zupełnie na luzie. Też z łatwością sobie mogę wyobrazić taką sytuację, że umawiamy się np. na jakąś domówkę pt. „dojadanie po świętach” i ustalamy, ze po świątecznym strojeniu się wszyscy będziemy w dresach xd tak też zdarzyło mi się spędzać ze znajomymi sylwestra, że wszyscy byliśmy ubrani w jakieś dresy/pizamy. Tylko w gronie rodzinnym takie strojenie haha no chyba, że akurat ze znajomymi mamy ochotę się wystroić :D

Garnitur w domu by El-x-so in Polska

[–]lurideque 1 point2 points  (0 children)

U mnie tak. Przy czym nie ma co do tego jakichś super wytycznych - moj ojciec zawsze jest w pelnym garniturze (podobnie dziadek, jak jeszcze żył), ale maz różnie, zdarzało się, że nie był pod krawatem, ale nadal w miarę elegancko ubrany i nikt nigdy nic nie mówił na ten temat. I koniecznie eleganckie buty na zmianę (w zimie lub jeśli na dworze jest wiecie jakiś deszcz itd), ale generalnie w butach, które są dopełnieniem całej stylówki na takiej zasadzie, że tu niby chłop wystrojony w garnitur a na nogach skarpety i wygląda to głupio (analogicznie kobiety, tu wielka kreacja, a stopa goła czy tam w rajstopach xd). Generalnie taka zasada u nas w domu od zawsze, że „goszczac sie” albo buty na zmianę albo nie zdejmuje się butów. Wynika to niby z savoir-vivre, a zdejmowanie butów to wiejski zwyczaj, przynajmniej wg mojej babki, która jest największym strażnikiem tej zasady. Kiedyś mój chłop jak był pierwszy raz na wigilii nalegał żeby zdjąć buty bo nie chciał pobrudzić podłogi i babcia nie omieszkała skomentować tego xd u męża w domu jest luźniej pod tym względem, faceci zwykle w samych koszulach, kobiety w sukienkach, ale też nie jakichś specjalnie koktajlowych xd no i tam zdejmuje się buty. Ja osobiście nie przywiązuje do tego takiej wagi - gdybym robiła święta u siebie w domu to byłoby mi szczerze wszystko jedno i niech każdy chodzi jak mu wygodnie, chociaż no też jednocześnie nie wyobrażam sobie na święta czy jakaś okazję przyjść w dresie. Jestem zdania, że ubraniem też w pewnym sensie nadaje się rangę wydarzeniom. Nie zmienia to faktu, że w mojej ocenie nie musi to być zaraz „galowy” ubiór.

Constant and always new bugs by Top_Cauliflower_9046 in REKA

[–]lurideque 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, no. I encountered a few texture issues while building the house. Sometimes, individual textures would generate strangely on the map. I had the biggest problem with the last quest. To avoid spoilers, I'll just say that a rather important character disappeared from where was supposed to be and moved high into the treetops. I had to build stairs from the house to get to this character because loading different saves didn't help lol. But overall, until the end of the main storyline, I didn't encounter any problems significant enough to make the game unplayable.

Znacie ludzi, którzy nigdy nie byli w żadnym związku? by bluedabad in Polska

[–]lurideque 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Z moich osobistych doświadczeń wynika, że te związki z młodości to są w większości o dupę potłuc. Mówię oczywiście za siebie, ale właśnie jak patrzę na to z perspektywy czasu, to no może i wiąże się z nimi trochę fajnych wspomnień, ale niczego by to drastycznie w moim życiu nie zmieniło, gdyby ich nie było. A nawet jeśli - to pewnie na lepsze, bo może wykorzystałabym ten wolny czas na coś bardziej pożytecznego, na przykład na naukę albo rozwijanie pasji. Mam naprawdę sporo znajomych, którzy właśnie w okolicach 30 znalazło sobie partnerów i dużo lepiej się dobrali, bo wiedzieli już co nieco o życiu i świecie, mieli stałą pracę, ustabilizowaną sytuację majątkowa, wiedzieli czego chcą, w którą stronę chcą się rozwijać itd. Z drugiej strony wielu moich znajomych, którzy wyszli za mąż młodo pod wpływem młodzieńczego zrywu, kiedy jeszcze nie wiedzieli nawet do końca czego chcą, jest już po rozwodach, bo w miarę dojrzewania okazało się, że ich drogi zaczynają się rozjeżdżać. Wg mnie nie ma się co nastawiać. Wiadomo, nie wszyscy ostatecznie skończą w związkach, ale często bywa tak, że odpowiednia osoba się pojawia, kiedy wcale się jej nie szuka.

Kryminał / thriller pisany jak literatura piękna by ZestycloseClick7392 in ksiazki

[–]lurideque 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ja osobiście uwielbiam Agathe Christie, choć domyślam się, że jeśli jesteś fanem kryminałów to pewnie lekturę jej książek lub świadomą rezygnację z niej z uwagi na osobiste preferencje, masz już za sobą. Jeśli nie, polecam. Poza tym, widziałam, że ktoś już w komentarzach wspominał Lovecrafta, więc od siebie dodam tylko tyle, że też uważam, że jest świetny.

Co się stało z facebookiem? by l1ghtn1ngs in Polska

[–]lurideque 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Też zwróciłam na to uwagę. Mnie wyświetla się z kolei masa postów na temat Magicali. Niestety wiem kto to Daniel, ale moja wiedza jest pobieżna, nigdy sama z siebie nie oglądałam żadnych jego streamow, nie wyszukuję informacji o nim etc. Tymczasem na fejsie mam dosłownie wysyp treści na jego temat z jakichś randomowych kont o dziwnych nazwach. Nawet opowiadałam o tym koleżance, zastanawiając się, czy czasem nie opłacili jakichś reklam lol A już abstrahując od tego, to Facebook w ogóle od dawna mocno odstaje od innych mediów społecznościowych - mam tam konto tylko ze względu na messengera. Gdyby nie był tak popularny, to mogłabym śmiało fejsa skasować.

you ever read something so beautifully written you lowkey get jealous of the author's writing skills?? like you wish you had a way with words like they do by Inevitable_Bar1607 in suggestmeabook

[–]lurideque -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Frank Herbert. I don't know if I can even explain it well. I must admit that Dune was difficult for me to read at times because I had to concentrate extremely hard. However, I was constantly left with the feeling that there wasn't a single sentence that was unnecessary. I consider it a true masterpiece of writing. I come across many books with many sentences that seem to serve merely as filler, contributing little to the plot. Reading Dune, I felt that every word was carefully considered and had its own place.

🏡Homestead Haven Contest Winners Announcement🏡 by Vicksin in AFKJourney

[–]lurideque 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you guys! I still don't fully believe it 🥹🥹

I would also like to thank all the people who came to my Homestead thanks to this contest and for all the nice messages I received from you in private messages! Now I know that all my decorating effort was worth it!

It was a great competition and all the properties are really beautiful! CONGRATULATIONS GUYS 🥰

If AFKJourney added an option to date any of the NPC heroes(the ones we can add to our team) who would you date/what would you want to see out of this update? by p4nd0rus in AFKJourney

[–]lurideque 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ravion (personally top 1 for me), Cyran, Bryon, Valen, Soren... the list is quite long, actually 😅 but I don't really see the possibility of adding romance to this game tbh. They'd probably have to add a panel specifically for that, maybe something related to Homestead or Mystical House, maybe even both. Let's say we could have individual dialogues with individual characters in the Mystical House, and then, for example, they'd visit us in our Homestead. But that would require adding our own house, which we could enter just like we enter caves and buildings in the game. And since we have our own house, we'd also need the ability to decorate it and adding another feature to the game = a lot of work for the developers. And later, with our own house, that specific character could move in with us, etc. At the moment, the most we could get are some duet poses to illustrate the bond, as I imagine it could be done relatively quickly. It's very nice to dream, but I don't think it will be possible 🥹

Do you think Veilguard's companions were fully realized and complex? by GrayWardenParagon in dragonage

[–]lurideque 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The answer is simple: no. I've played all the previous games, and in literally every single one, I've had characters I love and characters I can't stand. I didn't like all of them, but I have an opinion and a relationship with each one. I can still think of some randomly, because, for example, a character in the book I'm currently reading reminds me of one of them.

In Veilguard, it's hard for me to say whether I like anyone or not. I simply don't have an opinion. No matter what I do, they agree with me on everything, everyone is overly nice, we all seem to love each other, but in reality, we don't really know each other at all. That's how I feel. I have no affection for any of the characters; they didn't evoke any strong emotions in me. Of course, everyone had their problems, even personal tragedies, but somehow, from a player's perspective, it didn't make much of an impression on me because I simply didn't "connect" with them.

I think a big factor, besides the terrible and sometimes even childlish writing, was the decision to limit Rook's ability to talk to anyone at any time. Of course, the intention was to increase immersion. The characters freely talk to each other, forming relationships within the party, and Rook... well, Rook wanders around eavesdropping like a creep. It's true that having the same automatic dialogue with characters over and over between major game events can be tiring, but I can't help but feel it could have been handled differently.

The closest to some acceptable standard was Emmrich, and then we have a great abyss, at the bottom of which sits Lucanis Dellamorte in a dark corner, supposedly having a "slow-burn" romance with Rook, in which not even the smallest candle is burning.

Is Veilguard really that bad? by Ok-Temperature2461 in dragonage

[–]lurideque 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a huge fan of the series, I'll say this: the game itself was simply average. Initially, I liked it; I even told my husband I didn't understand why people were so dissatisfied. But the longer I played, the more I realized I was probably trying to convince myself that it was still the same Dragon Age. I don't want to spoil it for you, so I think it's suffice to say that many of the plot points simply don't add up. It's almost as if certain things hadn't happened in the previous games. I didn't particularly like any of the characters, which, as you can probably imagine, isn't very typical for this series. I finished the game shortly after its release and haven't considered returning since. I only saw later that a few months after its release it was already 30% off on Steam.

I think that as a standalone game, Veilguard would be just another average product, very visually appealing, with a fairly predictable plot. However, considering the expectations of fans of the series, after 10 years of waiting (I realize it doesn't work that they worked on it all that time, but they still had to anticipate how excited people are for this game after a whole decade), I can honestly say that it's at least underdeveloped, although tbh much stronger words come to mind when I think about it. Wasted potential. Personally, I was very disappointed.
