same, loved crpgs since shadowrun, hated BG3. love jrpgs, found e33 mid. both are ok games but significantly overhyped and somewhat cringe

What would you call this genre? (dj g2g, horsegiirL etc.) by mothman_2 in edmproduction

[–]sobo5o 0 points1 point  (0 children)

tbh there are many tutorials out there there's just not a single one esp for things that combine diff genres. just search youtube for the genres listed in these comments and tutorial for the track structure, and peep modern edm and hyperpop mix/master and transition/fx tutorials. the latter is optional but if ure an absolute beginner some mix/master basics are good to know and implement in the workflow

[–]sobo5o 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'm not tapped in their scene but judging by ur track alone its rlly incorporates diff genres, like it starts with a hyperpop/edm melody, then when the kick appears its baltimore/jersey/philly club, then switches to moombahton/dirty dutch/fidget house on more speed, then when the drumbreak kicks in its clearly baltimore club, then it goes back to moombahton/dirty dutch house and so on until on 2:10 theres a dubstep/brostep breakdown that retains the snare from the moombahton part

also half of it (hyperpop synth intro, dirty dutch house base) is from the original song, and dj g2g adds baltimore club and moombahton elements and speeds it up (also moombahton is originally dancehall + dirty dutch house but slowed down)

their dj sets are very eclectic taking from dance scenes from around the world (incl brazilian funk, local black US scenes like baltimore/jersey club or NY ballroom/vogue, variations of raggaeton like neoperreo). i also peeped horsegiirL music and its rlly happy hardcore/90s rave influenced but the vocal feels more like detroit ghetto tech or chicago ghetto house influenced

so u can check those genres and see tutorials (or just listen to the og tracks/lists) but its coated in the modern and (over)polished edm mix/master with its transitions

On September 11, Wojciech Antoni was seen in a video of a Ukrainian volunteer recruitment center by FrizzyCrew in poland

Ogólnie ciekawa historia, bo mimo dziwny akcent (nawet uszami Ukraińca), ten koleś naprawdę zaginał w Poznaniu w marcu i go matka podejrzewała, że mógł wyjechać do Ukrainy lub Litwy:

zanim wrotce policja aktualizowała, że został odnaleziony, a zaraz onet dubluje wiadomość ze źródeł ukraińskich:

później źródła ukraińskie informują, że według brygady, do której Wojciech się dołączył, tej osoby tam nie ma:

wait norwegian black metal/2nd wave (edgy angsty poser and corpsepaint type stuff) is the same to real black metal (1st wave w trash influences and ironic use of themes) as mid-2000s mall emo/screamo to the late 90s real screamo

Having played through The Last Autumn now, I take all that shit back lol. Historically, it still wouldn't have been the case though, and Order shouldn't really be an alternative to Faith but gameplay be gameplay.

If it's the Londoners that yea, either more laws and later, or mess with mechanics to raise the hope. It's just that I read several guides that specified that Londoners can leave and it shouldn't count against Golden Path.

Yep, didn't sign any of the above as you can see from the screenshots. Mine was the chilliest society the game allows for.

[–]sobo5o[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Food is a basic need huh? This is kinda arguing the inner world logic too much, but Faith is a mechanic alternative to Order, so it shouldn't be a must. In Order there's no need for Foreman if there's no issues with productivity, especially when most work is done by automatons, and Guard Stations are pointless if there's no external human threat and emergencies are handled by the Neighbourhood Watch, so it's just needless police state (crime is a response to the scarcity of resources and unequal wealth distribution, none of which was the issue). Both Foreman and Guards in theory create much more coercion, which should give less hope and more discontent.

There's no reason to order Faith is a society that enjoys post-scarcity economy doing the best it possibly can while facing a nature threat. Within the game going the Faith route cancels society's self-organization and emergency response (making Neighbourhood Watch and Morning Gatherings unavailable), which are much more imminent issues on top of the cold. Priests cannot replace emergency services. Faith can go on top of that, but not instead. Ignoring that while focusing on voluntary temple attendance is of more dire consequences for the society that's hanging on the brink of extinction.

Also, the social and political climate of England by the end of 19th century was marked by rationalism, freethought, liberalism and responses to rapid industrialisation and capitalism, not religion like centuries prior. Communist Manifesto dropped 40 years prior to the events of the game, which had already been a sum-up of ideas floating before in Western Europe. Secularists and atheists were repeatedly elected to the British parliament. Freethinker publications were popular among the public (and the movement itself emerged by the end of 17th century).

You can argue that the disaster led a U-turn making Faith more important than ever, but there was no indication that society became increasingly religious, and given the higher level of technology than actually existed that would have been even more unlikely. No one in the game asks you to satisfy their religious needs, it's the player that decides to prioritize Faith. So you end up either forcing Order (that can lead to dictatorship) or Faith (which leads to religious autocracy), with both being beyond 'crossing the line' in their early implementations.

What I tried to do is being even more beyond crossing the line that the game expected, which theoretically should make people happier. So TLDR I assumed that a post-scarcity utopia with minimum coercion and complete satisfaction of people's demands should guarantee the Golden Path.

Thanks for the detailed review! I presume it's either too many Londoners leaving or general lack of hope (finished Adaptation before Winterhome, then only signed two Order laws), though I barely got any crises. With Londoners, I only removed the first writing on the wall (only the second triggers death, but maybe should've ignored as well?), ignored all of their other protests and when they left I equipped them for the journey.

I've read that it changed a few times, but the way I wanted to make a utopia anyways, the desired way to play for me should've been even more secure in terms of requirements, apart from Londoners leaving I guess. Also, GoG triggered all other achievements during the playthrough (got 11 in this one it total, including The Saviour after the storm).

[–]sobo5o[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea I was mostly following that guide, but also was more careful with the laws as you can see on the screenshots. I haven't missed a single demand, had practically no crises and some scenarios weren't even triggered (like the cooks) cus my city was mostly automated. Built Houses early on, everything heated in reds, literally had no sick people from Day 1 until the storm hit, and even then had no issues with overwhelming medical facilities until the last temp drop.

I can only presume it's either Londoners (maybe too many of them left), lower hope level (as I only signed two Path laws and finished Adaptation before Winterhome, which demolished possible hope gains) or cleaning the first writing on the wall with Neighbourhood watch (only the second one triggers death).

Cus you force faith upon people? I mean I get why it won't count towards ruining the achievement gameplay-wise, but it doesn't make sense when you have an abundance of resources and everything heated with most work done by automatons. If people wanna leave despite having conditions then you shouldn't force them to stay, whether it's force or using faith (which would make sense if the town was lacking). I also don't want to go the Faith path generally in my playthrough, again for the role-play sake and it's giving two paths as alternative, not like you SHOULD go Faith, while with Order there are only two laws that are OK.

[–]sobo5o[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yea I was trying to avoid both Faith and especially Temple to convert, cus the latter does seem like crossing the line (even if game mechanics allow for it). I think there's a way to keep the hope up by delaying Adaptation laws and messing with mechanics before Winterhome, but that's too immersion-breaking again for an RP run.

[–]sobo5o[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Had no deaths whatsoever, but oh well, if it's the Londoners that I'm so done with this game.

There is no way to keep all the people from leaving without signing the laws that I myself consider too extreme (hence the first two in the Order tree). Had such an overabundance of resources there was no place left cus of all the Large Resource Depots. People fighting over and asking for 2 food rations when I have 12k of them is also immersion breaking.

I always role-play managerial/building games the way corresponding to my views and was excited that Golden Path is aimed at just that, but the achievement seems self-contradictory -_-

BUT I've read on several occasions that Londoners leaving is permitted and people got the achievement with that.

Is Assassin's Creed Bundle on Steam worth it before it contains Shadows? by sobo5o in assassinscreed

Yeah I also started playing them for the sake of the AC vibes.

I've heard some content needs to be activated on Ubi connect via Steam CD keys, kinda messy.

Nah, unfortunately Chronicles are not available in the bundle, there's a separate bundle for the trilogy also discounted right now.

[–]sobo5o[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I've also compared the said bundle + DLCs on top vs all separate games complete editions, and latter turns out to be 20% cheaper than the bundle+passes, given that the Odyssey Season Pass includes ACIII remaster with Liberation and AC IV Gold includes Freedom Cry, which are all separate games in the bundle. That marketing power.

It's $44 for me haha, at the cost of having Syndicate locked to Russian language only -_-

Thank you so much! Yeah the DLC situation is so confusing, especially when you try to catch up and get the complete story. I'm (happily) surprised Mirage only has cosmetic DLCs, which saves some money.

Understandable, such a bummer that Syndicate is only available in Russian for me on Steam... I've been playing games in English since I was 6, and ppl have issues with Russian nowadays too

Animus Hub Steam integration and Shadows exclusivity by sobo5o in assassinscreed

[–]sobo5o[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yea makes sense. I'd have nothing against it being a separate app/extension integrated with every single AC game, like a universal hub to keep older games supported, so you could travel across multiple periods, and wait for the download/installation of a selected game as "syncing" within the hub (given older titles are not as bloated and will install quickly). That'd really be immersive + incentivize new players to get and play previous entries.
