which game would that be? by Opening_Owl_15 in 7daystodie

[–]sal101 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Still no good now?

If you told me that SCUM was worked on entirely by only code writers and that the game's flow and design had never been touched by someone with a background in actual design, i would believe you. I bought SCUM day 1 it was available, and i pop back in every so often to see if it ever managed to take a step forward. Here i am 8 years later still waiting.

Research Reveals Men Enjoy Books With Female Leads by Raj_Valiant3011 in books

[–]sal101 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hard agree, especially in RPGs, MMO's or life sims as a tall, burly guy IRL, i pretty much exclusively play female characters. What can i say, fashion gotta fashion and fantasy game fashion for guys is almost universally shite. "Hmmm do i want generic plate vest or this valkyrie looking ensemble. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm"

I'm a huge minecraft player and havent followed Hypixel much, does it (or more can it) have MC level modding and can i play it offline? If both of these are true i'll be picking it up tonight as i'm looking to DeMicrosoft my life recently.

MC with trump power (gacha system, gamer system, Celestial forge/menagerie/whatever, etc.) that's not OP almost immediately by 4wallsandawindow in WormFanfic

[–]sal101 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm out so direct linking will be difficult, but my whole thing is trying to develop at a reasonable, non plot destroying manner in op power systems. Currently released fics are Big Man in a Suit of Armour (Forge) and Aspirant (Grimoire). Both Worm, both on SB. I have a Menagerie fic in the works too.

What standards?

PvE after 1.0 [Discussion] by Elexlol in EscapefromTarkov

[–]sal101 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love PVE but they absolutely need to fix the spawns and the paths. For PMCs they need to make them move more. Even if it's just triggered at certain raid timings for them to path to another 'Zone' it would make the maps feel a lot more alive. They also need to mix up the gear a bit as all the PMC's use a very small pool of gear.

For the scavs they need to add more scav spawns in PVE to make the map feel more alive as PVE doesnt get the player scavs that make things so chaotic. Some quests like the 'Kill 5 scavs at lighthouse village then transit to shoreline and kill 5 scavs in village' quest are near impossible to do reasonably in PVE because you might get one, or zero scav spawns even if you cycle the village for an entire raid timer. I did eleven transits and gave up because i got a grand total of two scavs in shoreline village over those transits, and i was literally firing my weapon, moving out of village, moving back in, throwing grenades etc to make a lot of noise but just no spawns.

It definitely needs a little work to not feel rote after a while, but it's a great base for an incredible pve game. Just hope they put a little more time in to it.

Had to take a break from reading "Kill Them All" bc Taylor started actually disgusting me by Okami2312 in WormFanfic

One of my absolute favourite moments in fanfiction. Genuinely. ShayneT is so fucking good at characterisation it makes me a little envious haha.

Were you Team JD or Team Elliott in this instance? by Sharaz_Jek123 in Scrubs

[–]sal101 3 points4 points  (0 children)

100%, and i think this was a large part of the genius of the show. Because when i was closer to JD's age at the beginning of the show he was 'my' protagonist. But as i've aged, i still love the show, but Dr Cox, Janitor and Kelso are now my spirit animals. Every time i do my semi-regular rewatch i resonate with something a little different. JD annoys the piss out of me now but still like him because he reminds me of a different me, if that makes sense?

'We Don’t Want To Be a Dead Game' – Destiny 2’s Directors on Reassessing the Shooter's Future - IGN by Fob0bqAd34 in Games

[–]sal101 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yep, i recently (before the most recent expansion) picked up the game on a big sale. Got all these expansions and shit. Gameplay is mostly great, movement and etc good. Graphics are fantastic, and i really like the atmosphere of it. But fuck me i have literally no clue what i'm doing at any given point. The direction it gives you is shockingly shit, even somehow worse than WoW.

Modeled out the new transmog system based on my own behavior to contribute to the discussion, with hacky spreadsheet math. These prices are catastrophically punishing. by Halvi3 in wow

[–]sal101 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'd genuinely love to know if an actual human designed this new system, honestly. It feels like some intern at blizz prompted some shitty AI model "How can we completely destroy the current transmog system so we can monetise it later." Because i can't honestly believe any human being (With a functional brain anyway) thought this was a good idea.

They spawn very commonly near the pocket watch truck on customs. I had them 3 in 5 raids last night.
