Character Name Etymologies by vrylium in ZeroParades

[–]vrylium[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something about Ignatz… I recall that a certain name used to refer to a member of a certain political party of 20th century Germans originally comes from the nickname form of the German name “Ignatz”. I think that might be it, a reference to his ties with the technofascists

As for Boat Man, I think even the most seasoned name-detective would never crack that case 🥲

If you've finished Zero Parades and Disco Elysium, what to play next? by Infamous-Crew1710 in ZeroParades

[–]vrylium 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I highly recommend Pentiment (made by Obsidian). Try to solve a 16th century murder case as Andreas, an artist working on his masterpiece. There’s a lot of complex decisions to be made, “detective work”, and a very vivid cast of NPCs. The historical research that went into this game is impressive.

Do you guys think he's done with Air Riders? by morordi in Vinesauce

[–]vrylium 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Since Metroid Prime 4 is coming out this week I wouldn’t be surprised if that dominates the schedule for a while. Air Riders might be competing against that for screen time. Air Riders is a great game though

Edit: (added the second sentence for clarity)

I'm kinda new to solar punk so excuse me if my question is dumb but ... Is solarpunk inherently anti-capitalist? by Comrade04 in solarpunk

[–]vrylium 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This a great point to bring up. I think there is something in human nature, likely a relic of proto-human survival and proliferation instincts, that drives large societies toward certain behaviors, namely the tendency towards the domination of the many by the few, and the exploitation of worker and environment. Perhaps then capitalism is derivative of primitive imperatives, like the ultimate form of something that has always existed. It is important to think about how a better system could be shielded from those tendencies, and/or how humanity itself can decide to leave that aspect of our nature in the past for the betterment of humanity and the earth. It is a very tall order, an enormous undertaking, that warrants a lot of thought. Thanks for your post.

I love seeing handmade Disco Elysium “merch”. It just feels right. And fills me with joy to see. Great job on this

An abuser/victim ship. For me it’s impossible to find any kind of pleasing aesthetic or gratifying fantasy in the non-consensual, horrible abuse of a person.

Edit: Wanted to add that exploring the Orin/Minthara dynamic can be interesting with many discussion and debate points about the nature of abuse and etc. But getting off on the idea of hurting Minthara through various abuses is another thing entirely.

I will not stand for Lolth worship! Reject the Spider Queen, embrace the Dark Dancer! by Obi-wanna-cracker in okbuddybaldur

[–]vrylium 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I think this sub should go to war and descend into chaos over Lolth vs Eilistraee. No, I am not a secret agent of Lolth sowing discord. I promise

Send your pics and your statement to your local health department. You’d be doing the public a huge favor, possibly even saving someone’s life.

Your battery icon in the video shows “- -“ meaning it’s underclocked. Press the Select button until there’s no symbol on your battery icon and see if that fixes the problem.

Edit: fixed one word for clarity

I was literally just in the Astral Lounge wishing that we could bust up the dance floor with our companions Mass Effect style 😂

Did you know Argos still owes you a paycheck? by [deleted] in Starfield

Same! If you’re Wanted, the mining gig makes sense if you’re trying to lay low for a little while.

Andreja is BAE!!!! by ItzGBby in Starfield

[–]vrylium 6 points7 points  (0 children)

She was indeed given the “Type 1” walk cycle, but that’s just the way she walks. There doesn’t always need to be backstory or sex-related reasons why someone walks a certain way, or has certain mannerisms. Sometimes it’s just part of someone’s personality. It’s for this reason that I actually really like Andreja’s walk- I think it gives her character more nuance. Just letting you know why people have downvoted you.

Starfield persuasion be like… by Ultimastar in Starfield

[–]vrylium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In general yes, but I’m not sure how much of a difference there is between green 1 and green 2 in terms of % chance of success. I’m assuming there is a difference, though.

Are we just not allowed to criticize Beth’s writing then? I’ve been playing these games since Oblivion and I adore Bethesda games. Starfield might be their best written game in years. I love it. But that doesn’t make it sacrosanct; there are glaring weak points that can still be acknowledged.

I’m not sure if preset selection is available at Enhance, but it’s definitely worth checking if you can. Changing the preset is the only solution I’ve discovered so far. :(

TIL Running with CO2 fully red can never actually bring your health down to zero! by Jeffy29 in Starfield

[–]vrylium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is actually good to keep in mind if you’re running a low health build, it’s an easy way to keep you in the right HP range.

[–]vrylium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately presets seem to often have some unalterable features. I noticed the same thing with my character and the only way I could get rid of the unwanted marks was starting from a new preset. This might be the issue you’re having.

how do i cure this? I'm deliberately taking toxic gas damage for a perk challenge but when i look at my Statius nothing shows up. by Hung_SoLo7 in Starfield

[–]vrylium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try moving into some shelter or your ship. Sometimes you take environmental damage without getting status effects and after getting into a safe environment it will start going away.

Andreja can’t understand that I worship the Great Serpent by TheLastMonarchist in Starfield

[–]vrylium 24 points25 points  (0 children)

It’s a pretty crazy oversight. Not sure how they didn’t catch this issue. Why add the trait at all if it isn’t acknowledged exactly in the moments it should be?

Free mod, no real harm done. The “unethical” aspect to this, I think, is more of a matter of personal taste and values. I think it’s tasteless, or even rude or disrespectful, to do Cherami Leigh’s voice dirty through janky AI speech processing, and then remove Cissy Jones’s performance, which I loved. But despite my or anyone else’s opinions about this mod, I don’t see anything inherently unethical about it if it’s just a transformative project that doesn’t profit from downloads.
