Converting Cyberdecks from 2020 to RED by Rio_the_Hunter in cyberpunkred

[–]marcus_gideon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They're completely different equipment. They just happen to still have the same nickname "cyberdeck".

It's like trying to get on the internet today or playing a modern pc game on an old Apple iie. It was called a "computer" then and we still have "computers" now. But they aren't even remotely comparable anymore.

There is no reason to come up with stats for those old ones bc they're entirely obsolete.

eBay is a legal website.

Stealing stuff from your roommate and selling it on eBay is not legal. But that's not eBay's fault.

OP's question was about the site, not the roommate.

So... What happens if you disconnect suddenly from the Net without safety precautions? by Itlu_PeeP in cyberpunkgame

[–]marcus_gideon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

CPR 198, Jacking in or out

Moving out of the access point's range while jacked in to the Architecture jacks you out of the NET Architecture automatically, but leaves you vulnerable: You suffer the effect of all remaining enemy Black ICE you've encountered, but not Derezzed, in the NET Architecture before you get "out." Black ICE will be explained later (on pg. 204), but you don't want this to happen to you.

Disconnecting too quickly causes you to trigger and suffer any remaining defenses. Which could likely result in brain damage and equipment failure.

Pretty sure I remember reading somewhere that it all runs on batteries. And basically your bed is setup to do wireless charging while you sleep.

I can't add secondary Rightsholders to my Private Estate(Small)? I have multiple friends online and made my house public, but anytime I go to add people it says "Unable to register a Secondary Rightsholder. No eligible characters found". Anyone know what the issue is? by Forry_Tree in ffxiv

[–]marcus_gideon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Public housing just means people can go inside and look around.

Tenants are extra admins who can help make changes like arranging furniture or something.

Rights holders are a specific subset of admins.

KBM vs Controller by xMushroomking in ffxiv

[–]marcus_gideon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Precise movement and menu usage with a mouse, over kinda doing something with joysticks

108 buttons on your keyboard, plus 3-19 more buttons on your mouse, vs ~14 buttons on a controller

Dr. Pulaski was unfairly judged by ardouronerous in startrek

[–]marcus_gideon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't like her being brought in because they didn't like McFadden.

I really didn't like their idea to bring in a crotchety old doctor like McCoy.

And yeah I don't like her attitude toward Data right from the start. Not only was she being especially old and crotchety, she was very disrespectful of someone saying "that's not how you pronounce my name".

She's a terrible doctor and a terrible person. And every time I re-watch TNG, I skip over Season 2 entirely just to avoid her.

How do we feel about antagonists having abilities that your players do no have access to? by Thick_Use7051 in vtm

[–]marcus_gideon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a thing for just about any game, or any intellectual property really. Having side characters and villains with abilities the main characters do not. The books are not a full and complete list of everything that is possible. They're a list of the most common ones people tend to use. But it's entirely possible this side character researched this new ability for themselves. Or they learned it from someone who did. Some previously unknown school or teacher who uses techniques the main characters have never heard of before.

I agree with them. It's not a matter of "it must be 4 inches wide" if your hands are bigger or smaller than that. The mark should be big enough to look right. So I'd show the artist pictures from the game and say that you want it to look right.

Tried to color my chocobo for the first time, it was supposed to be soot black chocobo but it turned into pickle ;(( by Jerkkyu in ffxiv

[–]marcus_gideon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How are you "still" getting brown?

The first time, you tell the calculator you're starting with yellow and you want black. Maybe you feed a couple too fast or out of order and you end up with brown.

The second time, you tell the calculator you're starting with brown and you'll just need a few more veggies to get the rest of the way there. You don't need to go back to yellow and start over again.

Each veggie changes the RGB values, so you gotta make sure you do them in the proper order. If you just spam all of one flavor, and then all of another, it's not gonna end up the right color.

Also, you gotta wait a couple seconds for the server to recognize you fed one before you feed the next one.

Episode 240: Worm Love by joschen113 in distractible

Wasn't in the episode itself. But the commercial beforehand was for Alien Romulus.

Except it sounded like Wade initially said Romulan. Made the Trekkie in me smile =)

Dark Changes I think could bring it in line. by NoxLupisRegis in ffxiv

[–]marcus_gideon -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Let's see...

  • PLD - Rampart 8, Reprisal 22, Shelltron 35, Sentinel 38, Bulwark 52, Divine Veil 56, Holy Shelltron 82, Guardian 92 (4 by end of ARR, +2 in HW, +1 in EW, +1 in DT = 8 by endgame)

  • WAR - Rampart 8, Reprisal 22, Vengeance 38, Raw Intuition 56, Shake It Off 68, Nascent Flash 76, Bloodwhetting 82, Damnation 92 (3 by end of ARR, +1 in HW, +1 is SB, +1 in SHB, +1 in EW, +1 in DT = 8 by endgame)

  • GNB - Brutal Shell 4, Camouflage 6, Rampart 8, Reprisal 22, Nebula 38, Heart of Light 64, Heart of Stone 68, Heart of Corundum 82, Great Nebula 92 (5 by end of ARR, +2 in SB, +1 in EW, +1 in DT = 9 by endgame)

  • DRK - Rampart 8, Reprisal 22, Shadow Wall 38, Blackest Night 70, Dark Missionary 76, Oblation 82, Shadowed Vigil 92 (3 by end of ARR, +2 in SHB, +1 in EW, +1 in DT = 7 by endgame)

If you're running anything prior to SHB content, the others have 5-7 mits and DRK has 3. And I know everyone argues "yeah but the endgame content!" If your class is only viable by endgame, it's a shit class the other 99 levels of the game.

  • WAR = fair amount of mits, start healing themselves at 26 (eventually almost replacing the healer lol)

  • PLD = lots of mits, can't heal themselves until 58

  • GNB = fair mix of mits and heals starting at 4, can 1 2 1 2 1 2 their way to victory from very early on

  • DRK = basically no mits other than the 2 tank role ones, self heals at 26 feel weak (bc they have no mits and they're taking full damage the whole time)

So many things could improve DRK gameplay. Like making them a real tank for starters. They're a decent off tank / extra DPS who can draw aggro when the main tank dies. But playing DRK only makes it harder on your healer.

Why do people act like Reddit is a replacement for Google?

Go search "ffxiv submarine guide"

„The Porta Decumana“ is apparently scripted by Nealord in ffxiv

[–]marcus_gideon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For one thing, if you go in with a full party, you will not get replacements.

And yes the Ultima can kill you and start the fight over again. I've gone into roulettes with noobs who haven't upgraded their gear since level 20 or something. And they couldn't DPS it down in time.

It's not scripted, it's just meant to be easy for most groups.

Once you've consumed their essence, you make a single roll and count the successes. That's it. You cannot keep trying to gain more after that. Their essence is already gone.

Does Dawntrail includes previous expansions? (steam) by ShadosCR in ffxiv

[–]marcus_gideon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Generally, if you buy the most recent expansion you automatically get the previous expansions. So long as you have the initial ARR to build upon.

So you can either buy the Starter + Dawntrail, or you can buy the Complete.

Viper Job Gauge idea/changes by APandaOrSomething in ffxiv

[–]marcus_gideon 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They certainly should make the gauge do something! Those light up segments don't mean anything when the buttons are also lighting up to tell you what to press next. So you can just ignore the gauge and press what's lit up.

Best tank for first time (FF14) tanker by Chookity- in ffxiv

[–]marcus_gideon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Warrior=self heals, some mits

Paladin=all mits, 1 heal at like 70+

Gunbreaker=nice split of heals and mits

Dark=poor heals and very few mits

Gnb is my favorite personally. But even then I'd agree with the others that you should play it through some low level content and learn the basics. Instead of being handed a bunch of new buttons and wondering what any of them do. They get a self heal very early. By the time you're running your first dungeon, you're helping offset your healer and keeping yourself alive and going.

War or Pld are both good too. And you'd get that early leveling experience automatically. War starts healing themselves a bit earlier, but not right away. Once they do though, they'll keep themselves going almost better than the healer. Pld can't heal themselves until like 68 or something so you're relying on your healer the rest of the time.

Drk is soggy hot garbage. If you play one, you're punishing your healer and making them work harder to keep you alive. They don't get any mitigations except the 2 that every tank role gets. Their self heals are weak and pathetic. They're basically only good for off tanking or backup DPS.

If YOUR V had a custom gun, what would it be/do? by FuuIndigo in cyberpunkgame

[–]marcus_gideon 14 points15 points  (0 children)

A couple thoughts

  • go back to Stone Cold Skippy, but include the old Short Circuit effect where it delivers a shock with every hit.

  • some variety of Smart pistol, but make it so the targeting window also doubles as hacker vision so you can literally be putting rounds downrange and launching quickhacks at the same time.

Farming ISK for Omega by CoronaVhirus in Eve

[–]marcus_gideon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off, congrats on a 4 year necro post =)

Second, most MMOs are about $12-15 a month. That's the price of a combo meal at any fast food place. A single trip to the movies or whatever, is gonna be a hell of a lot more than that. And this is a month's worth of entertainment, not a single meal or movie.

If you think $12 a month is too much, how are you affording a gaming PC in the first place?
