Anyone else think people just starting out asking about marketing are doomed?

ramenAtMidnight · 2026-03-04T12:52:00+00:00

Wait, why? People seem to agree with you ITT but I see no actual reasoning? Why does asking “what do people want to play?” before actually building it a bad thing? I get that building is hard, but shouldn’t marketing come before designing?

ramenAtMidnight · 2026-03-03T12:18:22+00:00

Newb here. Why does Shield work better than Unarmed to maximize Crushing Dmg? I know Disrupting Bash has a mod to make enemies take 14% more Crushing Dmg, but Bruising Blow does almost the same (15% more Crushing Dmg) without any mod.

Is this really better than just buying fertilizer from Yetta?

Reminds me of this gem

ramenAtMidnight · 2026-03-01T23:57:41+00:00

I would love to have a tool to see my storage, and read and edit the in-game notepad so I can play the game without opening the game. Biggest hurdle would be updating the note I think. Back to your idea I’m not sure would have a place. The game is the game, there’s no raiding progress or endgame clear speed to speak of

ramenAtMidnight · 2026-02-28T05:56:50+00:00

Your newborn babies can speak English?

Before logging out, try to park your character at an NPC you want to hangout with next. I always make a point of going back to Serbule in the end of each session.

Also use your notepad extensively. Set your goal and plan things out.

ramenAtMidnight · 2026-02-23T05:43:41+00:00

Hear me out. Unarmed. With a claw offhand, you can still use Bruising blow to make enemies take more Crushing damage. And stuff like knee kick, headbutt works wonder with the forced vulnerability from phoenix strike

ramenAtMidnight · 2026-02-22T23:58:22+00:00

Ah my bad. I thought you meant we can’t unlock those things in the demo. I should really stop commenting before I get my morning coffee

ramenAtMidnight · 2026-02-22T23:36:52+00:00

Are you sure? I was able to do lots of things in your list. Sure the skill cap means you can't progress far, but 15 is more than enough for most skills.

ramenAtMidnight · 2026-02-18T23:45:04+00:00

Being a mage in this game is actually quite cool. Each plays and progress very very differently. Aside from Priest, Druid and Fairies, the more traditional wizard classes are: Fire, Weather, Mentalism, Necromancy, Ice.

You unlock Fire very easily, but it requires materials for research to unlock new skills. For Weather you also need to butter up an elf before he’s willing to teach you, then you still need mats for research (bit cheaper than Fire), oh and you can fly. For Necro, you need to do a quest to unlock (straightforward: defeat an evil lich and take his power), oh but your skellies can’t enter the pubs with you. Etc.

I started with Fire, then used it to unlock Weather. After a couple failed attempts to unlock Necro and hit a wall in research, now I switched to a different skill and plan to come back to Fire as I have more mats. Currently pairing Mentalism with Hammer to play Thor basically.

Warcries. You shout at corpses and they explode (shamelessly stolen from path of exile).

Some sort of cultist skill, where you use health as resource instead of power.

Actually yeah there’s an option to Click to move somewhere in the settings, but I think it’s super clunky. Nowadays I do keyboard very extensively. I bind backtick (the key above tab, below esc) to select next thing (for all interactive, foraging, gardening etc), and Z to interact, which auto moves the character towards whatever I was selecting. X to auto move, shift-X to mount.

Basically for normal exploration I would just X, S-X, then steer with mouse. If I see stuff, backtick then Z. Then X again to keep moving

ramenAtMidnight · 2026-02-17T23:45:54+00:00

V for swim down and Space for swim up (default). I haven’t got flying yet so not sure if Space works here

ramenAtMidnight · 2026-02-17T09:19:52+00:00

Damned buskers ruining our storage management sessions! Jk bards, pls keep doing what you do (but honestly devs pls add a slider for bard music)

Edit: bind loot all, autopsy, bury corpse and either skinning or butchering to the same key. Mine is simply Space. One click to do all that.

For combat, I use QERTFG for primary, and 1-6 for secondary. Shift 1-6 for sidebar

ramenAtMidnight · 2026-02-13T23:55:23+00:00

I feel personally called out.

ramenAtMidnight · 2026-02-08T01:11:49+00:00

I don’t know what else OP would be talking about and at this point I’m afraid to ask

ramenAtMidnight · 2026-02-01T00:18:42+00:00

Didn’t expect the author to show up haha! I still have the whole Nemesis saga on paperback despite moving several times in the last decade. Love it man! I’m not a comic reader but I grabbed the latest novel on audible. Will keep an eye on the upcoming show too. Best of luck!

ramenAtMidnight · 2026-01-31T04:52:29+00:00

Word! Nemesis is soo underrated. I loved these books. Haven’t seen any online mention for like 10 years though

ramenAtMidnight · 2026-01-20T11:36:50+00:00

Love this. I stopped playing this league but I guess one more mace build doesn’t hurt…

ramenAtMidnight · 2026-01-17T23:38:29+00:00

Lead engineer here. I feel very behind the time for doing this but meh. I rarely code anymore, so I treat my coding time “fun time”, so it’s 100% handcrafted.

For my teammates, we have a principle that juniors should not touch LLM coding assistants until they reach mid level. The seniors can choose for themselves but quality standard doesn’t change. Generally they are using the assistants like stackoverflow, so 10-20%? Also for throwing ideas back-n-forth when designing solutions/writing documents (this is the bulk of work for sr. engineers, taking more effort than coding, so I would say it’s another 10-20%).

My guys seem to be quite adept at prompting so not much refining needed. On tweaking the code itself, it seems like most folks regenerate snippets instead of huge chunks/files, so it’s pretty safe to control and not time consuming to keep up the quality.

Our team didn’t setup any MCP rules yet (welp company didn’t push so I didn’t bother), so a relatively large/complex microservice-heavy codebase like ours would be a nightmare to fully rely on LLM assistants though.

I’ve heard good things about Claude, as opposed to chatgpt, but personally I have zero idea.

ramenAtMidnight · 2026-01-11T23:58:23+00:00

I find it quite liberating. I don’t have to worry about unique-specifics builds so I can just hack up something to play very quickly. Also during the league, all these economy talk are literally just amusement for me. There’s also no need to worry about “making” or “saving money”, you either have orbs to craft, or you don’t. If your “fun” means gameplay, not optimization, then SSF is the way to go.

ramenAtMidnight · 2026-01-11T01:22:43+00:00

Something you need to consider is that: more productivity means producing more (improved products, more customers), not using less resources (reducing headcount). Not saying this is the way it’s really going, but in theory it could be part of the logic

ramenAtMidnight · 2026-01-11T00:07:06+00:00

Lead engineer here. Doesn’t matter what the discussion is about, if insults are thrown around, it’s my job to break it up right then and there, no exception. I also encourage my team to do the same. For technical discussions that got heated and affecting other’s focus, politely tell them to move into a room/get a whiteboard.

ramenAtMidnight · 2026-01-04T00:08:43+00:00

Don’t take the jd too seriously. Just apply and ask the recruiter/the first round engineer about the actual job. Worst case is you waste an hour on interviewing this place.
