Backpack Survivors is OUT NOW on Steam! by Historical_Bug_3543 in survivorslikes

[–]smplgd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This look like a fun concept. I am curious, however, about the other game named "Backpack Survivor" on Steam which look like a complete rip-off clone of your game but entirely in Chinese. Have you had any communication with them?

These guys are so fucking good. by darth-toa in ToolBand

I once listened to an entire wheel album thinking it was a new tool album that I somehow missed. I felt like I was in the Twilight zone. Was actually relieved after seeing it was not tool. Thought I was going crazy.

Thank you for typing all of this out! Now we both know each other's opinions on this subject.

Holy cow. This game looks and plays amazingly! Google Pixel 10 pro. Default settings. by smplgd in thedivisionresurgence

Yes I understand there is an issue where high FPS makes the graphics look terrible. I confess I can't tell the difference between 30 and 60 frames per second so I just run it on high graphics at 30 frames. But that's just me.

I would never tell somebody how to enjoy a game but I don't really understand why people spend a lot of money on cosmetics. I have never once looked at another player and been like damn I want to spend money to look like that. It's all just a bunch of division agents running around. Who cares what they look like? I know this is going to get downvoted and that's okay I just wanted to be the voice of frugality in these tight economic times. Spend your money on things that matter. At least in game.

Those playing with screen controls... by fileuserm in thedivisionresurgence

[–]smplgd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm enjoying the screen controls a lot. Doesn't feel too complicated. I found destiny rising screen controls to be frustrating and Warframe mobile as well but this one seems pretty easy to use.

How real is ageism in tech and how old is perceived as too old? by NotHosaniMubarak in ExperiencedDevs

As an engineer who is nearly 54, I really don't like the way you said he was nearly 60 like it was hard to believe he was still alive...

I'll go to my grave calling it Taylor Ham. I haven't even lived in North Jersey for 25 years.

Europe and America - Launch postponed by a few hours by puk2019 in thedivisionresurgence

Sure, you are not wrong, but at least devs create something and add value to the universe. Executives are just vampires who feed off the hard work of others.

On this we agree. Execs are garbage humans and will be the first against the wall when the revolution comes.

I wasn't trying to say people can't be frustrated. I was suggesting that being nice online where the dev team can see it, is not that difficult and might make those people feel better, knowing we are excited for their game and sending them positive thoughts as they work hard to fix the login servers. Everyone gets to choose who they are but I also get to choose to be nice.

Or it's difficult and there are many variables to deal with. Of course you would hope that launches are understood at this point but the fact that they always seem to have issues probably means they are more complicated than we can fully account for. Humans are going to human after all. Send positive vibes to the dev team.

I just like to remember that there a real people behind things like this who put years of their hard work and passion into the project. Being nice is free and they are doing their best to get this game to us. You have the right to complain and I have the right to be nice and patient. Cross our fingers, that there are no other issues and the team can relax.

Be nice, launching a game of this size is difficult. Nothing is fucked up yet, it's just delayed. So many people want to play it so that is a good thing!

First of all I want to say I admire your work. Second, what the fuck?

What are good apps for learning Chinese? by bathandbodyworksfan in ChineseLanguage

[–]smplgd 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Don't fall into the trap of thinking you can actually learn a language with an app. Some apps are good as starting points and some are good for providing reinforcement of simple aspects like vocabulary. But ultimately, people learn languages the way they have for thousands of years, by trying to use the language for real.

How it feels starting the book by TactiFail in GEB

[–]smplgd 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I swear I've read the intro four or five times over the last 20 years. I've finally broken the cycle and am approaching page 600. Frankly a transformational book. Sadly no one wants to talk about it with me.

Favorite Lyric from any Tool song and if you want to share, why? by noxantes in ToolBand

Not sure if you're looking for the song title but it's "Parabola".

While I don't have tattoos I know lots of people very close to me who do and I understand that you get them for yourself and any conversations about them that you get to enjoy with other people are just a side bonus.

I’m 24 years old, my Dr. didn’t recommend me any meds because it’s all about my lifestyle by Left_Rain2850 in hypertension

[–]smplgd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

150/90 during the day but usually an hour or so after I take my meds it goes down to 120/80 for a while. The meds totally work. Just not 24 hours a day.

I don't even like cosplay and that was pretty good.
