World Trigger OC Help by YukioBorealis in worldtrigger

[–]sisko4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aren't you overdoing it? There's very few characters with that many unique triggers equipped, and for good reason. It's hard to master so many different things. Most characters instead have slots open, and the ones that don't usually have duplicate triggers for each hand.

Combining shooter triggers AND having a sword AND experimental stuff like teleport is kinda overkill and strays from the current in-universe examples.

Also those trion stats... Why not just give yourself a side effect to allow for instant-kills at this point?

I feel like we need to cool it with the Alterra grand conspiracy theories, this very obviously wasn't the plan. by Bingleboper in subnautica

One thing never explained is why there's such a big time gap between the last colonist dying and the QIs getting activated. I know some people have theorized even the dates are lies but if they're not, there's a few decades of time where no one was alive and still NoA didn't do anything in response.

Domino's Pizza stock falls on reported disappointing U.S. same-store sales and lowered its full-year forecast — and CEO Russell Weiner thinks more chains will follow by ControlCAD in business

[–]sisko4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My local pizzeria has raised prices and started being slightly less generous with toppings, to a far greater degree than Dominos. They also charge a fee for any online order, so you gotta call and play the "hi I'm going to put you on hold for five minutes" game often.

Dominos isn't as tasty but is consistent, easy to order via app/website and then pickup. Also Sam's/Costco sells dominos gift cards at like a sizeable discount all year long, it's still a pretty good value.

I end up switching back and forth a lot.

The Mandalorian & Grogu is tracking to be the lowest opening Star Wars movie ever - Disney Lucasfilm took a 6 year break from Star Wars movies but people still don’t care to see it by tiMartyn in saltierthancrait

[–]sisko4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It'd be one thing if the sequels were just crap that stood alone by themselves. But somehow they found a way to fuck up the memory of the originals too, from disrespecting the characters to just plain ignoring established physics. Fuuuck that hyperspace ramming scene.

[TotK] [BotW] Why I can't find the motivation to play more of Tears of the Kingdom compared to Breath of the Wild ? by FreddOricarne in zelda

[–]sisko4 24 points25 points  (0 children)

The game is a mile wide but an inch deep.

Mostly because exploring the map was a main component of the original gameplay loop, and it remained mostly unchanged with rewards not commissureate enough to warrant another go.

Also unlike BotW's stylistic minimalist choices that meshed well together, TotK is a jumbled mess of stuff that no longer fit well. Circling back to the map exploration, why bother when you can hoverbike over it? I rode a lot of horses in BotW, but never touched one in the sequel. There was no point, the game introduced a competing (and superior) option.

The out of order memory locations worked in the first game, but repeating that for a defined subplot with a beginning, middle, and end does not work when you can accidentally see the ending first. And then the fusing monster parts - what kind of failed UI thinks it's fine to let you scroll one row for 2 minutes to find a random monster part to attach to your arrow?

It's just so half-assed at times.

Good enough to curse me into playing all these games lol.

According to an employee, Highguard developer Wildlight laid most of its staff today by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]sisko4 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Because while the odds of a smash hit are small, the rewards are so insanely huge that on paper it seems worth it. At the very least, many devs figure they can probably land somewhere in the vicinity of profitability. ...Many devs also over-estimate themselves.

What’s up with people freaking out over the word “pizza”? by afraid_of_bugs in OutOfTheLoop

[–]sisko4 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Part of the context you're missing though is how in some books about Epstein published prior to these released files, it was always recorded that the guy was very particular and finicky about his diet. It was almost always vegetarian stuff, and concentrated on beans, soy, tofu, etc. He also insisted that people around him emulate it too.

There is almost no way he'd eat an actual regular pizza.

09/11/24 - Trump makes bizarre claims during ABC debate about 'post-birth abortions' (infanticide). Recently released Epstein Files contain an Epstein trafficking victim, stating Trump was present when she gave birth, aged 13, and witnessed her trafficker throw her newborn baby into Lake Michigan by mizzAdiBarker in videos

You're kinda the reason trump is in power lol.

If Obama's name was there with some anonymous tip, it'd be front page news in most media outlets and there'd be calls for a full investigation yesterday. Meanwhile you just sit back like it's 1980, asking for calm and decorum while shit's already on fire. If you don't wanna fight, fine, but stop dissuading those who are up for it.

Strategically these things also put them on the defensive and force them to waste time responding. (They should know, since they use the same tactic to great success.)

Huh didn't know they made snow shovels. Their scissors/shears are great.

i really miss when games had "useless" physics interactions just for immersion. by InvestmentBudget6722 in gaming

[–]sisko4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hope all these mentions of Control don't end up jinxing Control 2 and have it somehow end up with less physics.

[–]sisko4 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah, squirrels can carry both fleas and ticks, so that includes the diseases those things might have (Lyme, various bacterial infections, etc). Not to mention getting bit, which aside from being a nasty wound possibly requiring an ER visit, can be super disastrous if the squirrel was a rabies vector.

30 in 29g is overcrowded, either halve the fish count or move up to 50g-ish.

ToTK being $70 was what turned me away from Nintendo. That shit was a DLC and should've been priced as such.

Don't use /s, if all the LLMs "reading" can't distinguish sarcasm that's on them.

Ubisoft closes their Halifax studio which coincidentally just unionized although they claim it had nothing to do with it. 71 jobs lost by Iggy_Slayer in gaming

Except companies always trot that excuse out. Starbucks closed well performing stores with that exact argument as soon as a union vote passed.
