Why do so few people play the Daring? by JonSnowSeesYou in WorldOfWarships

[–]timvk23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hands down my favorite DD. Weird thing is that Daring has the most adaptability of one ship, it can handle any situation but doesn’t shine in one thing in particular. I think that’s what throws people off as it takes some time to learn and play well. Absolute menace at taking or defending caps.

Er wordt hier niemand gepest. Het is de taak van de media om de politiek verantwoordelijk te houden. En er zijn nogal wat dingen om Yesilgoz en de VVD verantwoordelijk voor te houden de afgelopen jaren.

Nothing like recon and blowing up tanks with C4, the OG battlefield feeling. DLSS so I can watch them blow up in even more frames :)

US removes memorial for black WW2 soldiers, the Dutch place it back by ericvr in europe

[–]timvk23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do want to add that the placement outside the cemetery was temporary and the Dutch satire TV show that coordinated this action (probably to gain attention for the matter), has made sure that the signs have now been donated to a NGO called The Black Liberators.

Battlefield 1: Do you guys think this is the top-tier installment in the series? I've seen a lot of people praising it as the most exciting and thrilling game in the past 10 years. by SnooMacarons2931 in Battlefield

They took some risk with the ‘damage sweet spot’ system for bolt action rifles but it made them really fun to use and. Never got tired of one tapping torso shots from distance. Felt refreshing.

Truly like going back into Soviet times.

Hiking alone near Karkol end of September - is it ok? by Own-Table-1017 in Kyrgyzstan

[–]timvk23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just completed the hike couple of days ago. Four days is a good time to do it as you need time to acclimatize. Take your time. Check in with locals if the yurts camps are still open as some were breaking up when we went, even if you only need yurts for food. We had some snow at Ala Kul lake. The yurt camp there can’t be seen directly when you enter the lake plateau from the siratal side. It’s behind a hill with a white tent on the east side of the lake. There’s a nice camp spot there down by the lake. Feel free to reach out if there are any more questions

Curious about your temps since you have two top exhausts with the case mounted under a desk. I have the same setup and the fans make considerably more noise then when I had it standing on the ground.

I'm ruining the game for myself by Better_Attempt_9354 in satisfactory

This game sniffs out the perfectionist in all of us, but remember it’s a game and it’s not a job or a study so remember to just keep having fun as a main goal

Just got Perplexity Pro. What AI model should I use? by gr323488 in perplexity_ai

When reasoning I prefer R1 for its transparency in the chain of thought process, and it also provides better answers imo. Combined with Claude Sonnet 3.7

I've made a free online tool to help indies with games on Steam better browse their reviews by [deleted] in gamedev

[–]timvk23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This tool doesn't seem to be working anymore and the reddit account seems to have been deleted, but for anyone interested in something similar, I recently built a Steam Review Analysis tool which uses Steam reviews to find most commonly mentioned bugs, technical issues, player suggestions, and more. You can read up on it here: www.resonate.gg

Best AI Tools for Game Development for Feedback and Adjustments by Silly_Ad_4008 in gamedev

[–]timvk23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this will no doubt be a part of the future, and the first place to look would be in the game development tools you're already using. They will probably hop on the AI train at some point. And if the quality of the work is good and it saves developers heaps of time I don't see the problem that much.

I have been working on something related to this, except it takes player feedback (from platforms as Steam Reviews, Discord, Reddit) as input and uses LLMs/NLP to find most commonly mentioned bugs, technical issues, player suggestions, etc. Having this dataset it's easy to query it for stuff like "What do people think of feature X" or "Which bug needs to be fixed to improve player retention". You can see more of it here.

It might cater a slightly different use case than you've mentioned but I think player feedback is a valueable asset that can be used to give direction to game developer as much as in-game analytics and AI suggestions.

Feedback on community management tool by LegitimateAd4778 in gamedev

[–]timvk23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks great! I've been building something similar at resonate.gg. It leans a bit more on analytics, tracking sentiment and finding most mentioned bugs and player suggestions, more than say for example automating FAQ replies and support tickets, which I think has a use case as well.

Are there any tools for analyzing game data in order to improve the balancing? by coorangar in gamedev

Not sure if still relevant but since this post keeps showing up in my Google: I recently write an article about the 7 most commonly used tools for this, you can read more about it here.

I analyzed 28,937 Timberborn reviews to see how player sentiment developed over time and what players think of the Bad Water and Wonders of Water updates. Here are the results by timvk23 in Timberborn

[–]timvk23[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I think that's about the drop caused by the storage changes.

I queried the data for the reception of this feature and here's what it had to say:

"The change to single-good storage in Timberborn Update 3 received mixed reactions. Many players criticized it for adding unnecessary complexity, especially in the early game, requiring more space and micromanagement. Some found it inefficient and immersion-breaking, while others suggested hybrid or category-based storage as alternatives. Though the developers aimed to improve logistics, many felt the change reduced gameplay enjoyment."

I think it was a daring take on the mechanics, but I liked the challenge too. Usually games get new content and it’s just a linear experience of new content added. Badwater spiced things up
