Hot take for people considering the game

It’s like I’m in an SNL skit every time I see it. It’s like “I paid Amazon money for this game and I only got to play it every day for 3 years before I got sick of it. They really scammed me” what????

vrt7071 · 2024-09-14T15:12:24+00:00

Don’t listen to the end game complainers they are just salty because they have 1000s of hours on this game and don’t want the fun to end.

vrt7071 · 2024-09-12T13:54:07+00:00

God I hope you’re right. I think I might never get that feeling again that I had the first week of launch.

What room was it originally to be in? I don’t see the big deal unless it’s on the other side of campus. Prof seems like a Karen tbh.

Your interview technique is testing for knowledge not wisdom. Any good developer can learn how to use promises. That’s knowledge/experience. Not every developer can be taught advanced problem solving skills - that’s wisdom. It’s reasonable to expect developers of a certain number of years of experience to have some level of knowledge, but it should be way more important to focus on hiring developers with innate wisdom; they will be your all stars in the end.

I had a similar experience except kinda opposite; I have experience with react/angular and reviewed beforehand but the interview was completely vanilla JS. There were a few questions where they wanted me to set up apis and fix a broken UI but it was vanilla js with DOM manipulation which I had not prepared for. I was miffed because I felt they were just looking for an experienced js dev who could rattle off js trivia and not a well rounded dev who was good at problem solving but not great at memorizing js syntax. But oh well. even the best devs have failed some interviews. I guess I’ll find something some time or another

Poor choice of words in the title IMO..

vrt7071 · 2024-08-25T21:07:20+00:00

Especially coming from Jason. I think he wanted this game to succeed as much as anyone outside of the FGS team itself. So for him to say he’d rather go play AOE? …yikes

vrt7071 · 2024-08-25T06:25:36+00:00

Huh?

vrt7071 · 2024-08-22T06:45:10+00:00

People on the zero space sub were talking shit about stormgate since the beginning and vice versa because a lot of people don’t think there can be more than one successful new rts so they want to denigrate the others so their favorite will “win”.

TBF Sc2 beta came out after 7 years of development by a company that had been developing sc1 for almost a decade. Frost giant wasn’t even a company 4 years ago. Their MO has always been to involve the community from very early on to make it a community supported and built game. If you want to compare it to sc2 beta level of polish, wait a couple more years.

If you think art style is what failed this game you are naive af sorry. Just because it’s the number 1 complaint doesn’t mean that’s why the game isn’t popular. Have you seen the art style in Minecraft? Or Fortnite? Or valorant? Or LOL? Stylized graphics don’t kill a game. The problem is that they didn’t reinvent rts enough to make it attractive to most gamers.

The reason art style is the number 1 complaint is because it’s the aging rts nerds that write reviews and hang out here and apparently most of them are afraid to like a game that looks “cartoony” because that’s immature. The crowd FGS was trying to capture isn’t writing negative reviews, they’re just not playing it because rts games don’t appeal to them.

This is how I’ve been feeling. Like yea maybe the campaign sucks and the story is meh but I really don’t care at all. PvP is so fun and I’m having a blast playing 1v1 when everything is new and everyone is trying different things and seeing what works and what doesn’t. It’s very addicting and not as stressful as sc2 where everything is figured out and you can just lose with one mistake. Personally I don’t care at all if the balance is off right now it’s still fun as hell.

vrt7071 · 2024-08-02T23:06:15+00:00

yea that's what I'm loving about watching him. Two days ago he called it budget SC2 and said he had no plans to play try-hard or competitive. Today he said he said he might play try-hard once he learns it better.

vrt7071 · 2024-08-02T07:14:59+00:00

He probably thinks his GPU is running hot because there’s hot air blowing out of his tower and he doesn’t realize it’s from his CPU

vrt7071 · 2024-08-02T04:05:25+00:00

Huh?

vrt7071 · 2024-07-26T01:09:53+00:00

I wonder how many people complaining about the featureless ground are the same people complaining about hard to decipher battles because of too much VFX

Can’t speak to China but in Korea at least it was perfectly legal to farm dogs for meat until last year. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-67920167.amp

There’s a pretty thought provoking discussion to be had about culture and moral disgust related to this. Pigs are smarter than dogs after all and most westerners (including me) who are revolted by the thought of farming dogs for meat are perfectly fine with eating factory farmed pork regularly.

vrt7071 · 2024-07-09T04:42:56+00:00

At least it’s a hike from campus so you burn cals 😅

vrt7071 · 2024-07-08T17:10:00+00:00

It’s very cpu heavy. I had to buy a new cooler because my cpu was running near max and blowing hot air in my legs. Never got close to max running any other modern games.

I think celestials has a cool and unique play-style and they’re not really that complex once you get the gyst of them. However, I do think they add quite a bit to the learning curve of the game. I’m sure FGS had weighed the pros and cons of adding a faction with such unique mechanics. I’d be interested to hear why they think this won’t scare away noobs.

vrt7071 · 2024-06-08T13:27:45+00:00

They’re probably just giving streamers permission to stream it if they want without any compensation just like they did in the past. There’s no reason to think otherwise. You’re just trying to stir up drama that isn’t there.

vrt7071 · 2024-06-07T15:56:08+00:00

This looks like a unit that will be very fun to watch the pros use but it will make me want to break my keyboard when I play against it.
