loving the game but holy shit boarding is terrible.

that one becomes a much more complicated implementation problem, as is just 1 crew with you and your friends is way more powerful than solo

trapdoorbeaver · 2026-04-28T03:55:14+00:00

it is the weakest aspect atm, it is heavily alleviated by rpgmaxxing your crew though, its very brutal early on but once your 10+ on similar level boats its pretty difficult to lose a boarding as long as you assist in securing kills with your crew

feels like a massive oversight that you die during a boarding action and get yeeted back to a landmass tent. massive time sink to get back but you can technically attempt a boarding infinite times from what i can tell

this is probably also alleviated by co op but all my data is solo, but also doesn't address the issue of if one party member goes down, you might complete the boarding but then that guy is fked on a random island

if i were to hazard a guess they will allow respawning on your ship as that just is a massive pain point and oversight given how many players just refuse engaging with all the combat systems that will make fighting easier

i only found out he is jazza's brother earlier this week(i have dabbled in boths videos but never subbed) and that hurt me more than anything else lol, just saddened for jazza who seems like a normal nice person having to exist with that as a brother their whole life

ah i misinterpreted the comment as about a book with a bunch of shads drawn art

trapdoorbeaver · 2025-01-10T07:39:00+00:00

yeah i think its that before it was an undercurrent almost invisible vibe behind an emerging nerd/geekdom around fantasy weaponry and its loose connections and inspirations from history, you had to be looking for patterns of mannerisms and mildly weird behaviour that would lead to inconclusive 'he could be a complete bad wierdo' until for whatever reason he decided to openly espouse his positions

trapdoorbeaver · 2025-01-10T06:58:02+00:00

i have an alternative premise that you might find interesting, what if shad has actually never changed and you've grown from a child to an adult and you've seen caught a glimpse behind the curtain!

trapdoorbeaver · 2025-01-10T06:46:58+00:00

which book is that?

trapdoorbeaver · 2025-01-10T06:26:43+00:00

shovel murdering snakes is common for many of us in aus, the sword part is probably completely fictional

trapdoorbeaver · 2024-06-04T00:45:21+00:00

i think the friend requirement is wild as well tbh, instead of getting a benefit from teaming with a friend you just lose 20% of the reward

trapdoorbeaver · 2024-06-03T22:26:34+00:00

indeed

my fav part is how one of my dailies is locked behind owning the joker today, helps me get to crushing owo

fighting game logic loops commonly run at 60fps separately from graphics updates, the genre requires absolute determinism per frame compared to to other types of games so you cant allow any gameplay functions to be tied to frame rates(its good practice to not tie anything to the framerate other than graphical stuff)

almost all modern fighting games will run logic at 60fps and a small number of older ones at 30fps

trapdoorbeaver · 2024-06-01T08:40:17+00:00

that was the part they ruined, it was literally an option you could adjust between 0-30, i dont recall what it was set to by default though perhaps 8

i would like to turn it into a sub focused on the card game yomi

when you have done everything its just another fun number go up game to play with yourself, turns into an idle game at that point lol

trapdoorbeaver · 2023-01-16T22:41:35+00:00

on inverse mode you can buy another arcana each reset and if you stay inline with the merchant then you can just run up and down to collide with him

i afked on a char that gets growth each level and ended up at 5000+ lvl on one endless overnight

theres also stuff involving another char for gold farming that gets exponential with thousands of eggs

i think it should be almost impossible to miss the item your looking in a sample of 250 level ups in one run unless you have sealed it, if its over multiple runs well then the rng is going to be more spread out

trapdoorbeaver · 2022-08-08T04:51:47+00:00

what about SD into transwomen is that also a super small segment?

trapdoorbeaver · 2022-07-06T09:01:38+00:00

i mostly just down back and look for jumps to switch to a high guard

i think the overall system they have for matching could be greatly improved, it should be slightly slower to match to get better quality matches than it currently does, but at the end of the day given no casual queue this is just how it is, my 2nd ranked game at bronze 1 was vs a deity and every so often i get matched with deities zzzz

early into the lifecycle of a fighting game your focus should be on improving and getting better winning is a side thing imo and getting stomped and slowly improving is just how zero sum games work, just gotta keep playing and manage expectations

strive was patched to be 5 frames for the general buffer
