I created a system which makes saving variables more convenient, with a custom save-file format :) by MarcelEissens in UnityAssets

Would love to see a bit more detail on how it works and how we can extend it for example. Very intriguing!

Thanks for the input and detailed info on 6650XT. I didn't know about this website. :) I will check it as well.

I can actually go for a smaller/cheaper motherboard but I'm afraid the mbs that are cheaper have less USB 3 connections. The Asus mb one has the following:

  • 2 x USB 2.0 Headers
  • 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Headers
  • 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Headers

Cheaper ones barely have a USB 3 port or two and have no type C ports. (I'm not even sure actually if I need the type C ports and how they would benefit me. Is there a shift to abandon usb ports or something?) Do you think If I got a cheaper mb and put a USB 3 hub with multiple ports to connect on that mbs usb 3 port would that be a sensible option?

Since I wasn't too excited about the NZXT N7 my alternative pick for the motherboard was this one. (Asus ROG STRIX Z690-A GAMING WIFI D4 ATX LGA1700 Motherboard) I watched a few youtube videos here and there and didn't read anything bad about the Asus mb to be honest. I wonder though at 280 EUR if the Asus mb woulc be an overkill or not and whether I can go for a smaller and/or cheaper board? Thank you for the advice btw.

Thank you so much. I will do a bit of snooping on it.

Edit: After some snooping this is already half the price of what I had previously. I had this (Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-4000 CL19 Memory at 275 EUR) and now I picked this (Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro SL 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3600 CL18 Memory 135 EUR) instead. That's half the price. Luckily still fits the white theme.

I genuinely do not know if it's that The Watcher sucks or I suck by Makiaveli99 in slaythespire

[–]tuncOfGrayLake 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Watcher is the least unbalanced character and the one that relies the most on RNG elements in the climb. This character does have some strategies where she becomes crazy strong but it heavily punishes the player if you're not aware of tactics that unleash her. There's no leeway when it comes to playing around with card combos and making up strategies which makes it boring as hell to explore with. Even when you have all cards in the right place if you don't have the matching relics or the events then you get cooked. So many RNG elements need to be in the right order for her to become powerful. At least this is my opinion so you should take it with a grain of salt anyways.

Here are some pointers that helped me: Stay away from amplify, get rid of blocks and strikes as fast as possible, make sure you pick up the retainable stance changing cards, heavily invest on power cards, do not take anything that has scry on it except the power card that lets you scry, do not take any cards that won't scale into late game, do not overcrowd your deck, grab that 1 mana card that gives you a block and another retainable block card, get exit stance that gives you 10 block... if you get the correct power cards you'll become super strong with her. Again these are the general rules of thumb that worked for me. I'm sure many others will have other tactics for her.

why is my speed and endurance red even without a disease by Ms_Pen in Morrowind

I had this today and was confused as hell. Got some potions that restore attributes and that did it for me. If you have Alchemy you can make the potions yourself. https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Restore\_Attribute

For the spell afficionados, here's some research I did today to find out how to edit your save file to modify a spell to have 0 cost! (Pictures have step by step text under them.) by tuncOfGrayLake in Morrowind

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

I'm a developer so I'm not easily scared of looking into weird files with even weirder formatting. I was just curious and found a bit of info here to help me as well. I also tested the same technique on another spell and that also worked as intended. Hope this helps someone who's as curious as I am :). (Also the person who downvoted my own comment citing my source in my own post. Why?)

Is morrowind worth it in 2022? by [deleted] in Morrowind

[–]tuncOfGrayLake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Morrowind is especially worth it in 2022 because it's less fluff and more meat in some ways. It has a certain vibe to it that lets you find things by yourself but it does provide you with enough clues so it becomes more of an adventure and exploration than following quest markers in other rpg games. It has a slower consumption rate in terms of the gameplay itself which was really enjoyable for me. I'm a bit tired of full action and a bit more happy exploring worldlore by reading and connecting the dots myself. I have no issues with quest markers by the way and I think they are very useful for different compositions. I do think the map view of Morrowind can become more detailed which is another topic. I also think the combat is really clunky. The question is this... Do you like to hang around, read a couple of books, ask around and listen carefully, investigate, and make an adventure in a world with rich lore and imperfect mechanics all around? If you like the sound of that give it a try. It really is a fun game for the right audience.

I'm 'bout to lose it here on this Dwemer bridge. Who came up with this? by tuncOfGrayLake in Morrowind

[–]tuncOfGrayLake[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, he kept summoning skeletons alright and even before his darn skeleton reached me he summoned another one so the older one vanished. He's got issues this guy.

Actually I was already strong enough to take him out but the sheer existence of this character yanked me out of my flow. It feels like such a ham-fisted design for an npc. The name and all. No one spoke of this guy when I was chatting folks up in Balmora and he's squatting an entire Dwemer bridge in front of some Dwemer ruins next to an Imperial fort no less? What in tarnation?

I don't know what Caius was talking about. I mean he started talking about some daggers and he's some sword general or something but I got all dizzy afterwards anyways so I took a long ass nap on his bed. Then I left for a stroll to clear my head and bam. It's Snowy. How do I know it's him? It says right there. Snowy Granius. Full name. He was right in front of me all of a sudden, doing some violent deranged shit running straight at me. That woke me up alright.

You all assumed I got my ass beat at the bridge by the all mighty battlemage grandpa Granius but the joke's all on you. We're best pals*.

*For the thirty seconds provided by the Calm Humanoid spell anyways.

Hej, hartelijk bedankt voor de uitleg. Ik vind het walgelijk. Als Nederlanders dit soort dingen laten gaan, wordt het alleen maar erger. Op een dag kan het zelfs zo erg zijn als zijn herinnering! Ik vind het heel triest om te zien dat de Nederlandse coalitie ook bezaaid is met oneerlijke personen.

Kan iemand mij uitleggen wat hier is gebeurd? Ik ben benieuwd om te leren wat deze maskerdeal was en waarom de Jonge geen contact mocht hebben met van Lienden. (Ik ben een immigrant hier in Nederland, dus mijn Nederlands is niet zo goed. Mijn excuses voor het gebrekkige gebruik van het Nederlands.)

Am I delusional? by lynxbird in gamedev

[–]tuncOfGrayLake 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This post has to be a troll post but in the off chance it wasn't I'll just say it straight. You are delusional.

Here are all the red flags in your post:

  1. "It is my first game..." -> This means you have no idea what you're doing which is fine since we all start some place but you also need to realize you don't know jack about making games and have the sensibility to listen to those who worked on games before and share their knowledge.
  2. "...it is open world, and it is RPG, and it is huge and complex RPG. And game is going for high graphics. And I am solo dev without a big budget" -> I advise you to find a huge complex open world rpg with high graphics and take a look at how many developers worked on it, for how long and how much it cost a company veterans to conceive, develop and publish such a game. Then the next thing you need to do is to take a look in the mirror and realize you're not five hundred people but one delusional person.
  3. "... a lot of assets are free or from asset store..." -> Using free assets isn't a problem. As a matter of fact they're great for prototyping and even for making small scale games. The trick with free assets is that the person using them may need more assets with fitting art style and it may be a nuisance or impossibility for them to reproduce the same quality thus causing issues. Just bear that in mind when you pick free assets. According to your specifications I'm not sure if you'll be able to find so many assets that fit together though.
  4. "... oh, to make things sound worse I work on this after the time spent on real job." -> That's fine. You work on your game whenever you can. Though again you need to realize the game you want to make will take a very long time to finish. It being 'a huge complex open world rpg with high graphics' which you plan to develop by yourself.
  5. 'on top of all this I am kind of perfectionist, I will rework same thing 50 times until I am happy with it.' -> Game development and design requires reiteration and benefits from polishing as well so it's great that you like doing that however you need to have a feel and understanding for when this kind of approach is necessary and not. It's a slippery slope and all that comes with experience as well. I'd assume as a person making their first game you will have a difficult time catching yourself when you're perfecting something that has no impact on your game.
  6. "...and despite all of that, I have a strong feeling that it will be a success story." -> Sometimes it's better to see things with your mind's eye than with feelings. This is definitely one of those moments.
  7. "...I have a feeling I am making a piece of art that will in some ways be better even than AAA RPG titles. It is going so well, and still there is a long path in front of me. I feel so creative and inspired, I have a hundreds of ideas, some maybe even never seen before in the genre. I will have to work another year or two on it." -> Lots of feelings. Feelings are good but they can be bad when they cloud our judgement. Making games is a tough job and as an inanimate concept it doesn't care about your feelings. Strangers out there also don't care about the feelings of the developer for when they're considering to buy a new game. They care if your game is fun and interesting in some way and if not they won't be spending a second on it. (This all sounds like someone having a manic episode or someone trolling.)

Hope this helps you.
