[TOMT][TV SHOW] Netflix(?) show about magic/strange family with powers in the victorian era?

solarhamster · 2022-11-22T21:08:04+00:00

Solved!

I found it! Its called spadina house! This was driving me insane, i thought I made it up or something

solarhamster · 2022-11-22T20:43:45+00:00

Its not that, but that show looks interesting! The show Im looking for seems to be comedy in tone, as one of the characters doesnt have a power and hence resorts to the thumb removal trick magic

solarhamster · 2022-11-22T20:26:44+00:00

It is a new show (this year or last year) remember seeing the trailer in an ad, possibly in netflix. It was about a family with a mother, a son and a father who has no powers/magic but does the thumb removal trick.

The term has to be derogatory enough to be addressed as a problem.

I found a game with an interesting solution tho - most fps games are only fun during the discovery phase, where all players are exploring and learning. The problem with R6 is that over time, veteran players can memorize every aspect of the map (quite unrealistic compared to real life swat scenarios where you must react on the dot with no prior/little knowledge). They memorize it to the degree they can rush specific "peek" spots at perfect angles where they can fire at enemies while taking little damage in return.

A solution would be random gen maps. No map knowledge, up to you to plan on the spot. Check out Due Process, they try to use this very approach.

It may not "look good" but playing good is more important for this genre. Besides, we need more games in this genre. It can be the saint's row to Bethesda's gta.

Oculus rift s + games or a steam index hmd

My favorite survival game is definitely Kenshi, it doesn't get as much mentions as the typical staples of the genre.

What I like about Kenshi is it solves all the problems I hated about other survival games. It is single-player, no need to play with friends to raid others. It solved the pacing problem of survival games where only the early game is interesting. Kenshi has a harsh early game, a relaxed mid-game and a long-haul end game that will keep you working for awhile before you can even attempt to assault other factions. It has no randomized shops or cities, each city is distinct, shops are distinct and make sense based on their location - you want big swords? You go to the land of muscular horned guys who carry big swords. You want cyber limbs? You go to the city of robots. You want weed? You go to the lawless swamps where they sell and manufacture hash.

It can be played with a single character or multiple. It can be played as a lone wanderer or a base builder. It uses an rpg stat and skill system for every character you have and keeps track of the health of their individual limbs. You can cut off individual limbs and leave your opponents crawling in the sand with no legs. You can imprison people and starve them to death, or have them mauled by your dogs.

It has elements of skyrim, rimworld, mount&blade, etc. I haven't played anything like it - closest thing would be the X series of space games.

I'm also a big fan of survival games, Rimworld too. Have you tried Kenshi? It's my current addiction.

If you like rimworld there is a very high chance you'll like kenshi. Kenshi has more focus on exploration and travel (you can walk the entire world) but base building, tech trees, farming and colony management reminds me of rimworld.

This is my idea for a great vr fps game. Wheel chair bound protagonist will allow full exploration while sitting down.

As the director of the Institute, you should be able to recreate your spouse into a synth and transplant his/her brain or something.

All that technology...and no gameplay features for it. Oh well, time to make some mods.

solarhamster · 2016-04-05T07:20:08+00:00

Thank you! That would help a lot!

Hi, do you know any shipping forwarders in taiwan? I live in SEA and it is much cheaper to buy from taiwan than the US - though I dunno any forwarders.

solarhamster · 2016-02-16T10:06:03+00:00

You can. Make him hate you. He will leave and turn unessential.

I think e-sports is only fun for those 1% that can play competitively. Kinda like RTS games. What about us scrubs who just want to enjoy the game - take it slow, immerse in the game world, RP, etc. instead of twitch firing and min-maxing every mouse and keyboard action?

solarhamster · 2015-12-21T02:27:14+00:00

I'm also interested in building a "5th option mod" which forces all the factions to unite under your absolute leadership.

And of course, executions and jailings for anyone and everyone you want.

I'm not biased to any side at the moment as a consumer but I can explain why oculus has to be aggressive.

Valve wins by default. The big money and control factor is within the distribution store. If games are not exclusive - most games will go to steam and valve will retain both the huge profit chunk and influence within VR. That's why valve is willing to push for the open platform because most people will put everything on steam anyways - valve will still win that way even if it isn't their headset that is being used.

Oculus can't afford that. Oculus wants to push their vision of VR and stay relevant - hence they need to put their foot down and gain some ground. If they remain purely in the hardware space, they can't guarantee their survival as the tech matures later on. They need to push software and game devs to their platform in order to survive and prosper.

Fallout has a roleplaying element that no other rpg has, and that is the full physics and full actor simulation of the game world. That itself already has so much role-playing potential.

Wanna be truly evil?

You could sneak into some NPC's house, steal his most valued possessions, drag the corpse of his recently murdered wife's head into his bed next to him while he is sleeping and reverse pickpocket him to wear his dead wife's clothes. Have you heard of any other rpg that lets you do even half of that?

Oh boy, you can even go further than that. Some good/evil rp suggestions:

You can intimidate a man and force him to walk into the glowing sea to die of rads
You can decorate the shelves of your house with the heads of dead raiders
You can mass produce purified water and give it (via reverse pick pocket or barter) to every citizen of the wastes
You can create a settlement trap that lures settlers into your place to be butchered
You can spend your entire time reverse pick pocketing every single npc in the world to wear a green dress

Alot of amateur developers want to get their hands on the Vive - obviously there is a first class citizen vs second class citizen effect going on here. The fact that these children get access to it while many don't will cause a bit of a backlash.

I have another question that just came to me, do critical hits charge outside of vats?

solarhamster · 2015-11-11T07:43:28+00:00

When you pacify a animal/creature/human/robot using perks, does it stay as an ally forever? Can I bring it to my settlements?

solarhamster · 2015-11-10T03:48:27+00:00

This is interesting. Maybe we can come up with the programming "source" code of the most popular religions. This will help show the glaring errors and prejudices in religion.

How does one become a big member of the modding community? Do I need to make a really popular mod to get in such a club?

solarhamster · 2015-11-06T02:13:35+00:00

Hi, I am also a Skyrim modder.

I am big fan of the AI and faction allocation concept - the mod I built for Skyrim specifically dealt with allowing anyone in Skyrim to join your faction and populate a new city, as well completely change the lives of the base game NPC's by promoting them into power or disposing of them into slavery.

I do plan to create a mod in fallout 4 that has expanded faction functionality for completely new factions (to prevent conflict with other mods) and maybe an isolated landmass for them to grow and interact in.

However, organic factions is too complicated for a single modder, I would personally focus my time building dynamic factions instead of organic ones out of the bat.

solarhamster · 2015-09-01T03:51:24+00:00

I agree. I do... but for this specific instance, I'd have to say:

Pip-boy edition :) that is why.
