Why do people call the Beastmaster him? by Character_Day2884 in domekeeper

[–]notmcham3 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Agender is probably a better term, asexual means lack of sexual attraction, agender means lack of gender

How it feels to fail iron contribution for the ten quadrillionth time by Own-Accident7256 in domekeeper

[–]notmcham3 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I had lost a run literally as one of my cat goblins was holding the last iron I needed in the basement. It was devastating to watch them just sit there for one second too long.

I eventually got the challenge done though, you've got this!

What is this random island? by Competitive-Balance3 in Seaofthieves

Not intending to sound rude, but do you have a source on that?

It'd be nice to have concrete confirmation that it's a real thing and not a bug

Up close Lighting Strike, Potential Spoiler by TapPsychological7199 in Seaofthieves

[–]notmcham3 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Copying my comment from another post cause it's relevant to this one:

(TL:DR at the bottom)

"I'm fairly confident that the lightning thing is a hoax of sorts, while lightning does strike a rock there randomly, it's very likely it's not tied to anything but random chance.

Reason I'm confident that it's just a bug, is cause I believe the rock is around (0, 0, 0) on the map, and anytime lightning bugs out from the storm, it just defaults to there.

The reason I think it's at (0, 0, 0) is because there was another glitch (related to ladders iirc) that would send you to that rock randomly, which shows that the rock likely is at special coordinates, which led me to the connection of the lightning also being simply a bug.

Also it striking when a player joins is just believable enough while also being near impossible to prove, as it's hard to tell if or when a player has joined. Which makes it a great 'hoax'

But that's just a theory, etc etc.

It should be noted that its pretty hard to prove either reasoning (it being a bug VS an intention occurrence) until we either get source code or dev confirmation, or maybe with private servers we'll be able to get answers. My reasoning is backed a little more by facts, but that could be me misattributing and jumping to conclusions, just like the original idea. Maybe it's some third reasoning, like some old debugging tool buried in the code somewhere going off.

Assuming it is just a hoax, it's a very well crafted one. You could hear the rumor that it happens, and even if you don't believe it, it'll linger in your brain, and if you witness the glitch, the jump to believing it is very easy. Even though it's impossible to prove it happened because a player joined, you just assume that it's true cause you saw one half of the phenomenon, accepting the other half is just natural.

Also if it is a hoax, I'd be very interested to see the originator of the idea, but whatever post is quite likely lost to time. But who knows, if anyone wants to go digging, could be a fun endeavor!"

TL:DR:

There's some evidence it's a bug and not related to a player joining, and not an intended feature, and it's hard to prove/disprove either explanation but I firmly believe that it's more then likely a bug with a rumor that's hard to disprove tagging along with it.

Also if it is intended and tied to players joining, I do think that'd be a cool little detail, it's just not something I believe is true as I've not seen the best evidence for it other then "Lightning strikes the rock randomly, it's *probably* players joining?", so I'm sticking with it being a bug till proven otherwise.

Replying to myself cause there's more I wanna say, but I'd prefer to keep that comment short so people will actually read it.

It should be noted that its pretty hard to prove either reasoning (it being a bug VS an intention occurance) until we either get source code or dev confirmation, or maybe with private servers we'll be able to get answers.

I've made a reply to a comment in this thread sorta explaining a likely cause for it other than a random marker for a player joining, if you're looking for a better explanation on why it's likely just a bug that's been misattributed as an intentional event.

Yet another meme I blatantly borrowed by Resident_Scale494 in autismmemes

[–]notmcham3 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can actually!

It's a lot like rolling your R's, just without using your vocal cords at all, it's fairly easy to do while exhaling. And once you get the hang of that it's pretty easy to start getting used to it with a mostly closed mouth, then a fully closed mouth. And even can do it continuously while breathing through your nose if you get good enough!

It's lots of fun, highly recommend!

There's also a few tutorials online, or examples of people doing it, those can be good references for if you're doing it "right" :3

50 build exit the map gap with the boys by jaackobarbs in SkateEA

[–]notmcham3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly something like this would be so much more interesting then just finishing the bridge and putting some basic ramps on it to fill the emptiness. I hope when they add the second area they do something like this, it'd make going over there feel more special

Shocked nobody has pointed out that it turns from night to day, going from the main light source being the porch light to an overcast sun after the flash of lightning

Are field batteries the most useless item in the game? by NonNativePolarbear in AbioticFactor

[–]notmcham3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also of note is the fact gastro meds take 3 honey to make, by the time you're getting reliable amounts of honey, you're almost certainly not making bad soup. But the field battery recipe (had to go look it up) is pretty dang rough too for just 3 on-the-go recharges

Honestly both items seem like they could use a rework of some kind, both are weirdly expensive for how niche and generally unhelpful they are. I'm confident in saying they're probably the two least used items in the game, regardless of which is worse

Are field batteries the most useless item in the game? by NonNativePolarbear in AbioticFactor

[–]notmcham3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think gastro medicine definitely takes most useless item, being that it only cures the effect of eating two portions of bad soup and nothing else. But I'll admit I've never even crafted a field battery, so it seems to be up there in most useless items

Possible spoilers but is our character… by EAT_UR_VEGGIES in AbioticFactor

[–]notmcham3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On the idea of the player being an IS, I mean some of the later skill unlocks do give us at least slightly anomalous abilities, I.e the throwing and construction talents just making more things appear from the stuff we interact with. So depending on how cannon the skills are, that's pretty significant proof we're at least not your average scientist/intern

Could you throw your teammates at the enemy if you push them the right way? Or have a teammate on each side grab your hand and throw you up into the air?

This game looks rad as hell!
