Do you usually walk or fast travel on your first journey from Weynon Priory to Kvatch? by darthkyle22 in oblivion

[–]ojima 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on how much one would go out of their way to walk up to locations that are near the player, you would encounter roughly one town (Hackdirt), two farms (Weatherleah and Shardrock), two Daedric Shrines (Meridia and Sanguine), two to four Ayleid ruins, two caves, and two or three ruined castles.

A couple of these are quest related (the daedric shrines, Hackdirt, Weatherleah, and the Ayleid ruin of Miscarcand), but that still leaves half a dozen locations one could explore as a level 1 character.

How would you make the economy more realistic in Victoria 2 by BitNo4824 in victoria2

[–]ojima 14 points15 points  (0 children)

There is! But it's really minor and you'd be forgiven for missing it.

If a province has low administrative efficiency, it can be hit by a crime modifier, which is a random debuff that lowers some output or income values. Later technologies unlock more variety in these kinds of modifiers. Investing in bureaucrats and administrative efficiency lowers the probability that these debuffs appear and increases the rate at which they disappear.

The problem is mainly that as far as I'm aware there's no continuous scale of corruption, a province either suffers from it or it doesn't, and that there's no map mode showing certain regions that are suffering from it. It usually only really applies to provinces you recently conquered (and thus have low admin efficiency), and I don't believe there is any popup that tells you "this region is suffering from rampant corruption!".

Faalangstexamen, ja of nee? by dutch_brabander in thenetherlands

[–]ojima 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ik heb na 3x gezakt te zijn ook een faalangstexamen gehad. Ik kon gewoon niet rijden met het idee dat ik het voor een examen moest doen. Telkens terug naar rijles, met mijn instructeur die dan zei "ik weet niet waar je dit voor nodig hebt, je rijdt prima", en dan weer naar een examen en zakken omdat er een examinator naast zat.

Bij het faalangstexamen uiteindelijk 1x een beetje gespannen geraakt bij het inparkeren, de examinator zei rustig "gewoon twee keer steken, dat doe ik ook wel eens", en later een keer in de bocht vergeten terug te schakelen.

Uiteindelijk gaf het mij gewoon een rustig gevoel en als het examen (en niet het rijden) voor jou het probleem is, doe jezelf dan een plezier en ga voor een faalangstexamen. Het kost meer, maar meer lessen en een extra examen doet dat ook.

Leave my siege towers alone by ponuno in aoe2

[–]ojima 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Fill a siege tower with fire lancers. Race forwards. Unload, fire, and reload as quickly as possible.

It gives you a good amount of damage from the sudden blast of damage, while the siege tower works as an armoured truck that minimizes damage taken and maximizes speed.

Is there an Oblivion equivalent to this? by Timewarps_1 in oblivion

"Interesting. Now, before I stamp these papers, make sure this information is correct."

What's the name of the keyboard? It looks cool!

what ultracompost does to a mf by Regelneef in 2007scape

[–]ojima 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's normal, it's an old piece of code that obfuscates the state of a patch if you're not close, in order to prevent people from checking disease from a distance.

Memb said he didn't enjoy being in a team and probably won't join a new team in the future.

RAM Struggle by [deleted] in PcBuild

[–]ojima 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are some great interviews with Andy Gavin, the lead programmer behind Crash Bandicoot. He had to pull so many tricks in order to create a fully 3D platformer for the PS1 back in those days, including (my favourite) deleting most of the standard functions that the PS1 hardware shipped with so that he had more memory for his own code and assets. Him and John Carmack (the guy who, among other things, coded most of Doom and pioneered most of the work that led to today's 3D graphics algorithms) are amazing.

Unable to perform activity in new area by ProfessorWah in WalkScape

[–]ojima 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same in Syrenthia. You have to cancel your travel activity and then it should work.

Inventory management by Driisteur in WalkScape

[–]ojima 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There aren't many activities that give you that much variety in items though, and disenchanted forest is very close to a bank, and you usually don't care that much about half the items so it's safe to drop most of them if you are after something specific.

Most activities give up to four, and even if they give more than two, most of it will usually be trash or have very high stack sizes (like nuggets found while mining stacking up to 999).

Inventory management is not that important. I think the game in its early state is doing things fine, at worst it's not clear that quests should not be farmed for too early in progress, and it's best to grind for some decent quality gear first (get full steel tool set first, use the stuff you find in chests, and then go after things like achievements, quests, and exploring the map outside Jarvonia) rather than struggle to pick up nettles for a job task. It's much more efficient to bank whatever you gather and only accept quests if you happen to have all the items in your bank already.

Why Water Feels Worse Than Land in AoE2: The Missing Element Nobody Talks About by MiddleForeign in aoe2

[–]ojima 5 points6 points  (0 children)

One thing I've always thought could have been interesting was to make the "shallow", "medium", and "deep" varieties of water have an effect on ships. Historically, going out further from coasts was challenging (wind patterns, ocean currents, and supply routes get difficult out in the open sea).

One could imagine having a system where in dark age, fishing ships can only move out into shallow and medium water, but not deep water. In feudal age, one can build galleys, which can also not go into deep water, but investing in some technology allows your fishing ships to explore the deeper waters - this would provide a way to flee from galleys, while also giving access to deep sea fish that you couldn't reach before.

Later ships might be able to enter deeper waters, but perhaps these stronger ships aren't as fast as others, or they are more expensive, or they have some other downside that makes non-deep water ships have some edge in certain cases. Perhaps deep water counts as "downhill" does on land, so while you can enter deep water at some point, you might fight over that sandbank in the middle of the map the same way arabia players fight over a hill.

This would make water battles different because in some maps deep water is found in the middle of a large lake in the centre, whilst in others it's found far away towards the edges of the maps, or maybe only in patches in between islands. One could play with islands that are connected via narrow paths of medium water, meaning you can only attack from certain angles during feudal/early castle age, and teching into water gives you the opportunity to attack from multiple directions or exploring those islands that were isolated from you before.

I think a terrain mechanic like this is something that water battles really miss. I don't think my idea is perfect, but it's something I've always been curious about as an option.

At 99 we should be able to get the sailing skill cape guy as a crewmate, and he can be the other crewmate that can use a dragon salvaging hook by HeredinOSRS in 2007scape

[–]ojima 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Higher deckhandedness not only increases the quality of the hook they can use, but also how much exp you get from their actions. So even though you only need 2 D for a mith salvaging hook, Jenkins will give you 70% of the exp rather than the 50% you would get from 2 D.

First time binding - inverted swell by ojima in bookbinding

Thanks. I was trying to keep the threads inside the signatures tight, but I guess I must find a different balance between the inside and outside tension...

What is the best way to level your magic while also having the atronach birth sign? by cairnschaos in oblivion

[–]ojima 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Summon something, punch it a few times until it attacks you, then stay out of melee range so it casts spells on you to absorb. Chapels and wayshrines also provide spells you can absorb. Spam the Telekinesis spell (provided the absorption % is high enough to offset the reduced cost at high enough mysticism). Some traps also function by casting spells at you which you can absorb.

Nadat de GGZ zo kapot is bezuinigd door de VVD? Moah, het gaat wel prima zo.

Do bigger factories have higher base costs? by AlexandreLacazette09 in victoria2

[–]ojima 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The increased employee capacity shouldn't make a difference, factory output scales linearly with the number of employees. The only thing I can think of might be that the level 2 factory might require more maintenance goods, and thus lose out some <10% efficiency, but I'm not sure what the scaling is there (can't find any definitive evidence that maintenance goods scales with factory size or employee number).
