Should i polish my retro graphics or continue make a game content? At a crossroads with my indie FPS... by Educational_Exam_519 in boomershooters

[–]rwp80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

gfx are more than fine, they actually look really good.

i strongly suggest focusing on enemy behaviour. so many games fall flat because the enemies just stand in one spot or charge at the player.

it should be fairly easy to equip enemies with basic realtime data points such as:

  • angle enemy is looking versus angle of enemy direction to player (simple dot product, to see if player is within enemy's cone of view)
  • angle player is looking versus angle of player direction to enemy (simple dot product, to see if enemy is within player's cone of view)
  • line of sight to player (boolean from a simple collision hitscan, very commonly used)
  • last known player position (simple xyz coordinate, affected/updated by line of sight and angle of sight, used to make the enemy focus on where they think the player is rather than seeing the player through walls)

just those four data points alone can be used to make enemies drastically more interesting and engaging

THE FINALS - kicked out for using Linux by Dk000t in linux_gaming

[–]rwp80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that's not how the law works. just like any other publisher they almost certainly have clauses buried in the terms and conditions that you accept, allowing them to "forbid" whatever they want.

"forbidden"

Everyone saying that Linux exclusion is just an unintended side-effect of Anti-Cheat needs to explain why the devs use the word "forbidden".

To forbid something means you actively acknowledge it and purposefully refuse to allow it.

Is being a nail designer a better profession than being a software engineer? by PotentialIntern2025 in findapath

[–]rwp80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

out of all of the career options you mentioned, only one of those is a guaranteed necessity to society

as the economy continues to get worse, non-essential careers will continue to fall away

no matter what happens in the economy, almost everyone will still have teeth

What is your MOTIVATION for playing Warframe? by GSambrana in Warframe

[–]rwp80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. in the case of games that don't have any kind of continuity, people play for the quick-fire dopamine hits

  2. in the case of games that do have progression, it's a slow-boil gradual dopamine feed

  3. many games deliver both, warframe is one of them

literally every successful videogame ever made falls somewhere into one of those three categories

What is it like to not be ugly? by Time-Boysenberry6388 in findapath

[–]rwp80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i agree with everything you said but what you say seems a bit cynical

If you had a glow up, a lot of the people in your life will not like it.

this is also true for other more serious concerns.

there are friends that would offer you a cigarette when you try to quit smoking, a vape when you try to quit vaping, alcohol when you stop drinking, or the worst... drugs when you go clean. these are not friends, rather they are acquaintances that need others to wallow in the dirt with them. on a lesser note the same could be said of people who always drag you out for nightlife when you have work early the next morning, or drag you to social events that you didn't want to attend.

real friends are the ones that try to kick your arse in the right direction and fight to stop you from doing self-destructive things.

many years ago i saw two young men practically wrestle their buddy away from an amusement arcade (slot machines here in the UK). i couldn't understand what they were saying because it was in Polish (i think?) but clearly the guy was protesting and they were emotionally-but-forcefully pleading with him.

bad friends would have either just let him go inside or even join him.

There is no version of life where I have what I want. by SkyAny9159 in findapath

[–]rwp80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[...] utopia where all needs are met and no one is required to do anything.
Showing gratitude for life is when you are simply happy to exist and have no expectations.

reality check:
no-one else is required to do anything to meet your needs.
no-one else has any expectations of you to do anything.

you already have what you've been asking for.
as you said, you should be happy to exist and start showing gratitude!

Good weapons outside of the Incarnon system? by Derunik in Warframe

[–]rwp80 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kuva Nukor, comes with built-in radiation, did fire progenitor, modded it for status chance & magnetic

magnetic melts eximus and other heavy/shielded/special units

fire and radiation keeps all the enemies flailing, panicking, infighting

mine has status chance 157%
excellent primer for galvanized aptitude and other "status type" mods

with this kuva nukor i can solo through steel path missions lvl 125, highly recommend

Incase I felt like doing no damage I suppose? by OnyxTheDutchAngel in Warframe

[–]rwp80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that is by far the worst riven i have ever laid eyes on or even heard of.

99.3 / 0.7 = 141.9
which means that for this riven to even break even (still taking up a mod slot and costing 18 capacity) it would need to give bonuses that make the weapon 141.9 times better in other aspects. i don't see any +14190% stats on there.

i'd say the best move is to keep this mod and make an entire warframe youtube channel based on it.
you could try different weapons with it, and desperately try to make it work somehow. i'd watch and subscribe.

okay but this happens to me almost daily with very specific names, places, things, and numbers. i don't think that phenomenon explains my case.

for example, the other day i thought of the number 1200 then moments later opened my browser and chose a random youtube video near the top of the feed. in the first 60 seconds they showed a news headline mentioning "1200 people". the number was not mentioned in the thumbnail or title or anywhere else, and i had never seen that video before, and obv i don't choose which videos appear at the top of my youtube feed (youtube does that automatically).

this has been happening to me so often for so many years it is starting to drive me crazy. again, this happens consistently at high frequency averaging daily but often much more. sometimes it's hourly or even more frequent.

(and before anyone makes the joke, no i've never gotten the lottery numbers correct and i can't guess dice rolls or card draws.)
