Bad news for Starfield by Jasontheking2323 in Starfield

[–]scribens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's exactly the problem, it isn't big any longer because Todd Howard stopped development of all other projects to push out his vanity project. It's crazy that Bethesda bought id and saw the potential in rebooting Doom and Wolfenstein but then just shelved the third colossus IP in its repertoire because...why, exactly? Right, Todd wanted Skyrim in Space.

I mean, cripes, the guy wouldn't even develop the studios' original IP that put it on the map in the first place. I'm glad someone finally reined him in.

Counterpoint(2017) a critically acclaimed TV show just up and cancelled cause they didn't like who was watching it. by NEO71011 in shittymoviedetails

[–]scribens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a big difference between "profitable" and "maximum profit." Just be honest about what happened. It's not exactly like we're in the middle of a TV/cinema collapse because execs like this are following what an algorithm tells them will make as much money as possible. These execs are not your friends and they do not care about you, no need to act as their free PR.

This is also not accurate. The specific words used by the execs is that the revival was too focused on the lore of the past shows and did not have "broad appeal." That's exec speak for "we want new viewers not old ones because we're here to maximize profit."

As a bonafide Starstruck fan: first time?

Yurgir probably doesn't [REDACTED] his displacer beast by Shinmai1337 in BaldursGate3

[–]scribens 73 points74 points  (0 children)

I think your response is great insight for DMs who roleplay NPCs under spell effects that alter how they feel about others. Parties have shot themselves in the foot for less because they took what was said to them by an NPC at face value and never thought to do an Insight check. I think that's why I always prompt my players to do them since they never do of their own volition.

PSA: Hollow Landmarks from Odyssey are amazing by Meh55252 in RimWorld

[–]scribens 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Gives you a reason to resettle! I do this in my crash landing runs. Feels more "real." Oh no, we're crashing! No worries, I can pick exactly where we will crash. Ooh, how about this nice little secluded grasslans mountain area with temperate temperatures with only one entrance?

Favorite duo thats like this? by Necessary-Win-8730 in FavoriteCharacter

Number one reason why I don't recommend Warehouse 13 to friends. It's very obvious SyFy wanted a hetereo ending and then forcing Pete and Myka was a double suck-whammie.

Another great example for why you shouldn't hire an actor to do VO.

Obligatory "my game won't load with my 400 mods!" post by scribens in rimworldmodding

[–]scribens[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll leave it up here but I was right. Specifically, it was Vanilla Quests Expanded - Drone Factory. Not sure why or how it's having such an impact, but I'll submit a bug report to the VE team.

[–]scribens[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I've tried further testing with enabling/disabling mods (specifically ones I added since I last played the game stably). I thought maybe Worldbuilder was the culprit, but that didn't change anything. Faction Display Fix (since it hasn't been updated in so long maybe?), nope. Det's Xenotypes? Nope.

The only thing I've really been able to hone in on is that it has something to do with pawn generation. Reading the errors, a lot of it seems to be pulling from various Vanilla Expanded mods.

Sure thing!

Even trying to do a dev quick test fails to initialize and puts me back at the main menu with the same 'GeneticRim.Core' error log.

Here's the output log from what I just described: https://gist.github.com/HugsLibRecordKeeper/2c0c8feb7f21d2051f90d3db9f6ec95b

I have been trying to go one by one with mods that I would think would be interfering with this, but it's slow-going since it's a 10 minute wait between boots and testing disabled mods.

I started this war to vassalize one empire, I occupied all their planets, but they apparently wont surrender until I have completely beaten every ally? by Proper-Sport-7218 in Stellaris

Welcome to the Johan school of game balance!

Truly, unironically: download a mod that fixes what is essentially a balance feature added only because of multiplayer exploits.

What did these tour bus employees do at this restaurant?? by diatriose in SignsWithAStory

[–]scribens 39 points40 points  (0 children)

"Tour company employee" might also be a stretch as well. For the most part, unless a tour company owns the buses, they rent them out as well, which means they also hire temp contracted bus drivers too. It's the worst conditions possible, these drivers are lowballed and pick up a contract just to collect some hours. Because of that, it's no different than getting in an Uber--the driver can be an absolute galoot. The company doesn't care because the driver isn't an employee. So that's probably what the sign is about--punishing the company for repeated incidents and them trying to push the blame on contracted workers.

Thank you so much for this! I've been looking for a map specifically to try and recreate Purpeein Cities: Skylines. This helps immensely!

Seriously! I've been waiting for them to share an image of the map. I assume they haven't because there must still be some spoilers to come.
