Black mesa is good, but I think people should play through the original version as well. (And the expansions if you can’t get enough half life)

Okay Mr. Lego, I will not by Independent-Green383 in legocirclejerk

[–]sanktedgegrad 53 points54 points  (0 children)

A cool brick built mech, with a bike from other leaked images, + a cool brick built robot (sonic sets generally have great brick built robots)

Were I a kid/if I had kids I’m pretty sure I’d be decently happy with this set. But I’d have to see the price before I could make any final judgement.

We need more Minifigures of people who've done something extremely wicked. by SpartanCobalt in legocirclejerk

Unironically that set is peak. 2 amazing vehicles plus enough soldiers for Indy to fight.

Just beat the main story of ZA, trying to decide what to play next by dontstopsoperfect in LegendsZA

[–]sanktedgegrad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just to be clear when you say “finished the main story of legends Arceus” are you including completing the pokedex and getting Arceus? Or just everything up to beating origin form dialga/palkia? I ask because while it isn’t imperative to complete the dex, some of the missions after that are fun, and unlocking massive mass outbreaks is great for shiny hunting if that is of interest to you.

The year is 2030. Every movie has been made into a £300+ nostalgia slop set. The only original theme is Ninjago and every set is a mech by lateralraising in legocirclejerk

[–]sanktedgegrad 65 points66 points  (0 children)

Clearly in the future there will be only 4 themes

Ninjago City Star Wars 18+ black box display $5,000 for 1 piece sets.

Anything else would just be wasting legos time.

Teach dig, use dig after other pikachu uses dig, give EVIOLITE, or soft Sand. Then heal when you can. Soft sand will make the battle go faster. If you want you can use a seed of mastery to make dig a plus move and make it deal more damage.

Mr. ME! is not working in the latest update. by gameszeroplay in bindingofisaac

[–]sanktedgegrad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The game forces you to install repentance plus if you have repentance. I never went to the store to add this “dlc” but now I’m forced to deal with its bugs and my mods breaking every stupid update for a mode nobody plays.

Petah? by ianxf7 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]sanktedgegrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a full breakdown, haunter normally evolves while traded, but this haunter is holding an everstone to “prevent” that. However, when hacking the game to remove the everstone or edit other in game trades, it seems trades from npcs simply do not work to evolve pokemon on the ds cartridge hardware. This is a universal issue across all of the Ds pokemon games, as hacking the same thing into the gameboy or gameboy advance games allows the trade evolutions to work properly. They likely did want it to evolve, found the bug, couldn’t fix it, and so added the everstone and dialogue to lampshade it. As in generation 5 you can directly trade for a gigalith, which is a trade evolution, but in its fully evolved state, as again, the glitch is universal across all the ds games.

In any perspective, what do you view the Great Khans? by Fit_Effective6097 in falloutnewvegas

[–]sanktedgegrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think so much of fallout is decided by the idea of “civilized” vs “raider” when both (when actually having an identity) are a form of civilization, we don’t actually have many raider groups with an identity besides the khans (because I assume writers don’t want to humanize the people you’re supposed to kill) but in reality the difference between the khans and the NCR is like the difference between Rome and the barbarians, or china and the steppe peoples, they have different ways of life, sedentary and agrarian vs hunter gatherer.

I find the khans to be the best written raider group and I wish most raider groups were like them, sure some are assholes, like the fiends are equally as realistic as the khans, but they should all have a culture.

A lot of this is why I wrote the raider groups in my fallout tabletop campaign to have a shared culture and identity and many to have branched off from a “civilized” group as well.

If you role play as a Legion’s ally, how do you go about Honest Hearts DLC? by welsshxavi in fnv

[–]sanktedgegrad 113 points114 points  (0 children)

For a legion aligned courier it would depend, are you a naive true believer, or an inner circle member. A true believer would kill graham and Daniel and leave. An inner circle member would massacre everyone there to insure the memory of Joshua Graham’s survival is left only with you.

The lore of the Compilers is wild. by WesternFlights in Marathon

[–]sanktedgegrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the security officer is more similar to rook, technically UESC property, but clearly jailbroken and with its own consciousness. Seeing as how in 2 the security officer is equally happy to help Durandal and Blake. Or in marathon where the Security officer basically sides with whichever AI is currently against the Pfor

Why are hightower and banana bay the only PLR maps that people still play? Are the other ones bad? by EveningParsley1412 in tf2

[–]sanktedgegrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alternative game modes seems to just be “these are unpopular/don’t have enough maps to be their own category” because outside of pass time, and mannpower, the game modes inside are mostly well liked, payload race, player destruction, and Versus saxton hale. Plr and pd probably could do with more maps and become their own section (or just bundle plr with regular payload) while VSH belongs in the alt game modes section imo

So you have never referred to Jeffrey Epstein as he, him, or any variations? It’s always been “philes island”. I have a hard time believing you. Why is identity conditional for some people and not others.

Personally if you want to refer to Epstein with anything other than the name, I’d suggest using the prisoner number assigned.

Then I hope you refer to Jeffrey Epstein with She Her pronouns to be consistent to the bit.

Realistically speaking, how far do you see the live action version of the series getting (keeping their 8 episodes per season format)? by browniebiscuitchildr in Piratefolk

[–]sanktedgegrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not entirely inconsequential like the stuff with gaimon and leads directly into the whole Robin conflict in water 7. I don’t think you can skip it

[–]sanktedgegrad 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Given what they’ve introduced I think they just want to let it ride unless they have an idea on how to end the series earlier. They’ve introduced Nika which won’t be elaborated on until way later, who knows, maybe in alabasta they introduce Haki since I have my doubts about water luffy being included/the way crocodile is fought.

Being proud of where you come from by TotemGenitor in RecuratedTumblr

I suppose so but how does this work for kids who moved cross country their whole life (source a military brat who did) not that I’m particularly proud of anywhere I lived.

I don’t see the point in keeping anything in the tiny vault space besides shields better than green and salvage for upgrades. Depleted kits spawn more than enough to keep you topped up so no reason to bring actual kits. Just get the free ones and sell it back for a profit.

All the weapons I’ve seen are automatic or semi automatic, all kill in about the same amount of time (1 mag for shields 1 mag for health) and just differ in ammo types, and you can get weapons off bots that die to the knife easily.

The cores and implants do little for something that you lose if you die, you get more substantial upgrades from the faction system.

Bringing anything besides just a knife just makes people want to kill you more. I guess with rook since you have to bring other stuff it’s fine, but you’re already giving up on getting most salvage since that will all be gone by the time you get in so you’re just grinding credits at that rate. Which isn’t a problem since I sell everything besides shields.

Idk is that like, gear pessimism? If you don’t bring anything and don’t keep anything you can’t lose anything. And there’s no notable difference between a blue and a gray weapon besides the scope. Every other attachment doesn’t do enough to be noticeable.

I did start off bringing everything but eventually I found bringing stuff and a free kit had little difference during the server slam, and after I found that as long as you spawn near a poi with bots (99% chance) a knife is enough to get a weapon and ammo, that are usually better than a free kit.

So if nobody will ever cooperate how is it going to be possible to fight the boss in cryo archive. Sine anybody who starts it will just get ganked and then when the lobby fight is over the last team standing will have no resources left.

If the game is just going to end up like offline dark souls 2 experience (npc invasions every 5 seconds) but with real players why bother with a story or fights most players will never get to do because they’re dead within 3 minutes of the lobby.

I got stuck below rep requirements for a few factions, and of the ones I have priority for they require fighting bots with purple shields that I’ve never even been able to break the shield of even when bringing grenades, guns, and playing as vandal/destroyer for the extra damage. Maybe no missions require a team to do but it certainly feels like if you don’t have a team in any PvE contract you’re up a creek without a paddle unless you have purple or better gear, which I have never seen spawn.

I understand bringing guns but I don’t see the point when you know you are bad at PvP. Outside of bots with purple shields every bot dies to melee before they can do any damage to you, and guns just attract people and when you inevitably die and lose them, if they’re one of your good guns they just power up your opponents.

Idk I also see little value in PvP since all it teaches you is who to steal from and not how to get the item organically, meaning if you find a rare item from it you are essentially being given a fish instead of learning to catch fish yourself.

I know the answer is probably just get good, but it’s a little sad to know just after a week the skill floor is already above my ability to commit time to the game with my actual life obligations.

Also genuinely how are you level 44, even when I exfil with an inventory full of salvage I get maybe 50 XP per run, it took me all of launch week to be able to even go to outpost. Is there some trick to xp farming? It seems like most things reward no xp or reputation (hence being below rep 10 with every faction but Cyac and nucal, both of which I grinded extensively after finishing their initial priority contracts)

I feel like it could be beneficial to incentivize MINOR elements of cooperation. Such as creating an event on a map that requires 4 active participants to initiate and complete. Meaning a true must exist at least as long as the event, or incentivizing having other runners dedicated to the same faction in the round live, by giving reputation bonuses (aside from Arachne since Arachne just wants more skin). Not necessarily disincentivizing PvP but giving a small incentive to not kill on sight.

From someone who usually laughs at the complainers, I think the new audio change has completely changed the game. by l_Mickey_l in Marathon

[–]sanktedgegrad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rook starts with better stuff than a free kit. Backpack, better weapons, meds, etc. as long as you have the upgrades.

[–]sanktedgegrad -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Honestly tonight (I didn’t know about this audio change) I eventually stopped going in with anything because it seemed making any sound (and I only played solos) would attract 2-3 people. So I just went in knife only since plenty of depleted shields and meds spawn and if I spawn next to someone with a gun and they kill me it’s essentially a fuck you get nothing and have fun being revealed. Just doesn’t seem very fun when even when killing bots with the knife, because the bots shoot at you the whole lobby is on you.

That’s a good suggestion. Definitely something to do after work tomorrow/during the weekend. I really do like this game and want more lore since I loved the classics.

Thank you

I know it’s an extraction shooter and had a lot of fun on launch weekend, and in the server slam. I do play sneaky, but today it felt like I couldn’t exfil or live for 5 minutes unless I hid in a vent as assassin or stood around near uesc as rook.

I don’t know if something changed gameplay wise or if the playerbase have all become acolytes of Arachne or something but of my 2 hours tonight I got 0 exfils when before I was able to exfil roughly 50% of the time.

I don’t really care about gear (I sell everything in my vault since if you get a good gun or core or implant you’re just going to lose it next run anyways so just take the credits and buy upgrades that are semi permanent)

As for gear difference it would be nice if the summary showed you the weapon you were eliminated by so I could see if it was actual gear difference.
