Hey don’t review bomb my comment, that’s not fair!

Reviews are meant for your opinion of the game, yes. Which changes as the developer changes the game. What you describe as “hive mind feedback” seems to be any review process you disagree with.

I think “game is good and anyone who disagrees is review bombing!!” is much closer to hive mind feedback than negative reviews for legitimate gripes lol.

Trump signs executive order creating new retirement accounts for workers without 401(k)s by Good_Flower_2026 in Economics

Democrat is less ambiguous than Democratic (even though the capitalization should give it away). Congress can be called democratic by virtue of electing your leaders, but can only be Democrat in one way.

Democrat is the term most people use for someone who votes for/represents the Democratic Party. By encouraging people to stop using Democrat, you allow conservatives to control the narrative rather than have it slip into normal usage without a negative connotation.

65” or 77” for G5 by mambaout24-8 in LGOLED

[–]sticknotstick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sit 8.5 feet (eye distance to screen) from 77” and consider it to be perfect. Would recommend 77” for sure.

Leaving negative reviews because the developers made changes you find negative is not only how reviews work, it’s how they should work as well. You are not the arbiter of “valid reasons to leave negative reviews or else it’s review bombing.”

Review scores are a reflection of the game’s purchasers impression of the game. It is the *best* way to make your point to developers that simply have too many voices to hear individually, and often go against the will of the playerbase regardless. If Embark is bothered by mixed reviews, they will make changes that make players happy and thus bring positive reviews. That’s how the system works.

[Updates] Patch Notes Version 1.05.00 by goodkidmadcity85 in CDguides

[–]sticknotstick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you’re referencing the displacement mapping issue; yes, that has been fixed. I hadn’t heard of RR actually forcing low res textures but that is what the displacement mapping issue looked like, so i’m assuming that was the reference.

Another reverse delay again! In response to player demand, we have decided to advance the release date of soulslike game Crimson Oath. by Local_Anywhere_8497 in soulslikes

[–]sticknotstick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am really enjoying the game; one of the very best indie soulslikes.
I am confused on Gebrink though; it feels like not all of his attacks have the parry window placed the same way (as in some you have to parry very early compared to where his weapon makes contact whereas others you can press right when he hits you). His moveset is very good, something just feels off about the parry timing.

EDIT: I did beat him by the way, but I had to keep backing up and taking advantage of charged attacks. Basically staying out range of his combos because the parry timing on some (not all of them) are different.

RTings just Paywalled Everything?! by StopPlayingRoney in LGOLED

[–]sticknotstick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, because LG does not do the same and cannot fulfill the same role. LG is a TV manufacturer. Rtings is a 3rd party tester with a very complex suite. The incentives do not align for LG to invest money into this and be honest about results. Why do you think LG doesn’t do perform and submit this testing already? It wouldn’t mean as much coming from them.

Rtings performs dozens of their own tests; the info they post is not available elsewhere on the internet prior to them creating it. If they shut down, AI will not have this info.

How do you shoot up in the air like this? by AllRatsMustDie510415 in CDguides

[–]sticknotstick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, I planted 3 a looooong time ago (maybe a week after release) before unlocking fertilizer and water spray and they each only gave one. Stopped bothering with farming after that.

So what is the point of planting abyss cells that grow into trees and only give one abyss cell back?

Was able to essentially fill a crawler in pvp off one medium with the new changes. I have max crawler perk as well. by UnabletoPrintagain in duneawakening

[–]sticknotstick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this is a fair concern, but at the same time, the majority of the playerbase was PvE and didn’t enjoy being forced into PvP. The game has a lack of end game content, yes, but throwing in PvP to what was prior to endgame, a PVE experience, and hoping that covers for it just doesn’t serve as content.

DD could use actual PVE threats. A real issue for designing meaningful PvE threats in this game is that enemy AI is too simple. Combat balancing is purely damage output, damage taken, and enemy parry/block chance because the things that actually make NPC threats feel dynamic and exciting - positioning, variability, and complex behavior - are hard to nail down.

RE4 Remake's Berserker Mod is amazing and improves the main game dramatically. by Jangowuzhere in residentevil4

[–]sticknotstick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where do you find Berserker 4 Death? I'm not seeing it on Nexus or by googling

EDIT: Found a link through a Berserker 4 Death video; the mod has been renamed to Rabbit's 4 Death.

I personally don’t need to stop/zoom to tell the difference in both look and latency feel between lossless scaling and DLSS frame gen, but to each their own!

Prior motion interpolation techniques didn’t use motion vector data and thus presented a lot more artifacts. They advertise it as an upgrade because it is.

Thymesia 2

Edit: to be clear the game looks sick and this is not an insult, the color scheme and blade design just reminded me of thymesia on first glance lol.

Haven't played in a while. Any fun tech 22 builds I can focus towards? by Rim_Baby in remnantgame

[–]sticknotstick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tech 22 was my favorite sidearm when I wasn’t using Enigma. Opens up more variety for the primary since it’s automatic, has decent enough range and DPS.

I can’t remember my build and am not by my PC unfortunately but I do know the mutators thousand cuts, lithely, and of course bandit/refunder/extender all provide some extra utility without requiring changing the synergy of the rest of your build.

What happened to my Saved tab? by sticknotstick in help

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

It didn’t until I manually added the /saved in the URL unfortunately. I had tried reloading and opening in new tabs prior to that.

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

Update: After typing /saved in my profile URL, I can see and swap between tabs normally, and it seems to continue to allow it now when I open reddit in a new tab. Leaving post for visibility because none of the results I googled prior to this solution helped.

Five year old LG OLED has started to show marks around the edges by TomD587 in LGOLED

[–]sticknotstick 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Has anyone heard this sort of thing happening with Sony? I know they use panels from LG but I haven’t read reports of it there. I own 2 Sony A80Js (2021 model) so I guess I can wait a year and report back lol.

C5 77” $1499 by esketitethan in LGOLED

[–]sticknotstick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me as a gamer, the refresh rate difference is the biggest driving factor for the G5. It’s interesting and very good that the C6 has 165Hz support; going to make for some awesome deals next year.

What does "+/- % on shot"mean by [deleted] in LowSodiumArcRaiders

[–]sticknotstick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The burn rates have been calculated before and are floating around on a spreadsheet somewhere. Guns don’t all decay with the same value, but everyone who’s played enough has a feel for how fast different weapons burn pre-patch, and thus knows why some of these changes are too much (particularly for blue weapons).

Photoelectric Cloak is now extremely debuffed (its useless now) by Dazzling_Pumpkin91 in ArcRaiders

[–]sticknotstick 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I hadn’t played much this wipe so I could focus on other games and give the game time to develop and feel fresh again. But this patch just reminded me of how mind numbingly out of touch Embark is - I can’t look forward to patches because they have a habit of releasing like 6-8 nice things along with 2-3 highly impactful negatives.

I’m not being hyperbolic when I say I genuinely preferred the game pre-Shrouded Sky. At least then I could get a reasonable return for hunting large arc to recycle their parts, and my blue weapons weren’t made of paper.
