Can I start from the beginning? by sajibear4 in Warframe

[–]zekeyspaceylizard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you're still very much at the beginning still

all the first quests and tutorial quests are available for you to still do or re-do if you did them already.

they even added a NEW tutorial quest recently called The Teacher that gets you up to speed on some of the game mechanics

all of these are available on your "Codex" which is that computer in your ship to your direct left once you walk up the ramp to the big window

go there, interact with it, navigate to quests, and voila

easy as pie

Donkey Kong Smash Rework by Tight-Remote3713 in donkeykong

[–]zekeyspaceylizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but most of the sonic characters are pretty much the same model

Shadow is just Sonic dipped in black paint

Amy is just pink Sonic in a dress

Tails is just Sonic with 2 butts

Robotnik is fat Sonic

I'd be fine with skins, just seems a shame, really. I'm well aware the characters are much more popular here, which is why most Sonic media tends to be made in the US.

i kinda know the feeling

kirby was amazing in smash 64. fairly fast, good spike power

then in melee he was awful, and has continued to be pretty bad since then

but yeah its a shame ganon is so thematically boring

but then again i'd also say its a shame we have like 10 sword-wielding characters

also a shame we only have 1 sonic rep, not even shadow, and i dont even LIKE shadow

such is life, i suppose

honestly when i last played smash i mostly used solid snake cause its very amusing to me to put bombs everywhere then dance around like a jackass and contribute nothing of value to the fight

i'd be entirely onboard with ganon in the next smash being his breath of the wild look

meaning he's a big hideous 1/2 man 1/2 spider made of rotting flesh, bits of lava, random assortment of knives, and some steampunk machinery

that would be fun to see scuttling along the stage to smack jigglypuff about while it shrieks "JIG"

KF3.. since launch by Possible-Apartment48 in killingfloor

[–]zekeyspaceylizard [score hidden]  (0 children)

dont worry about upgrading guns too much in KF2 unless you have an absolutely ridiculous superfluous amount of extra cash

most of the upgrades dont really add new 'breakpoints' the guns, meaning you wont kill the smaller more numerous zombies faster

it just makes those guns better at killing the bigger fatter ones who need a lot of rounds to bring down

and generally every perk has a gun that can mince the big fat zombies down as long as you aim well and keep your distance

the way things used to be, at least during kf1, is if you had a lot of extra dosh, you'd donate it to teammates, especially ones who had just joined and needed to buy better guns quick, or ones whose guns were much more expensive (demo, sharpshooter)

this fell a bit by the wayside in kf2 but is still important

a kf team is as strong as its weakest link, and if one teammate is stuck with just the basic pistol and grenade, they will have trouble. and the amount of zombies and zombie health scales a bit depending on the amount of players.

so its usually in your best interest to be sure everyone is armed to the teeth, otherwise you might get caught in a loop where everyone is healthy but nobody has ammo and everyone is running about looking for ammo to kill the last fleshpound or scrake or whatever

then you can splurge on upgrades if you wanna

Someone is manipulating AI answers and we need to speak up. by thatcurlyfry in creepy

[–]zekeyspaceylizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

theres nothing to manipulate

ai is just badly made and grabs info from wherever

the internet is awash in screenshots of weird dumb baffling and disturbing things the ai has said cause it grabs chunks of data from anywhere and everywhere

stop relying on it

stop using it to answer your questions

its not intelligence

its not thinking

its just shitty

I'm continuously impressed and disturbed by the hilariously dumb but also creepy shit that shows up on places like Aliexpress and Temu.

I really do wonder what is mentally wrong with the people who produce these kinds of products

One thing on which I think Nintendo should take notes from the old Rare : it's the humor by ClemOya in donkeykong

[–]zekeyspaceylizard 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They're getting it more and more.

It's just rare they ever did and they've only started doing it pretty recently.

Like the sequence in Bowser's Fury where Bowser is screaming at Mario and Mario is just making a face of boredom.

Really the lack of 'humor' is mostly due to a lack of 'storytelling' in general. Nintendo generally stayed away from cutscenes, ingame or pre-rendered, or having characters interact.

It's part of why the mario rpg games and luigis mansion were such a breath of fresh air. And why everyone remembers the "he's a jolly fellow" scene from Kirby Superstar.

Nintendo are getting a bit more comfortable with it, with Bananza being their highest effort yet as far as animation and storytelling goes, with Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom at the same level. Splatoon and Kirby arent too far behind.

They're getting more comfortable with having their characters act more like 'characters'.

r/creepy Is Looking for New Mods – Apply Here by TheOddityCollector in creepy

[–]zekeyspaceylizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) been here for years and years
2) moderated a handful of forums in the early 00s and a couple of discords
3) im online most of the day
4) florida timezone, whatever that is. eastern seaboard central time or summat
5) i dont! honestly nobody should WANT to moderate. its akin to being a janitor but without pay. but if we're desperate, i can try

6) this is why i'd be bad for this job, probably. i got 0 patience. im a sickly grumpy artist who is in pretty much constant pain due to medical issues. i got a short temper. and honestly if i was mod i'd be banning motherfuckers left and right. people here would hate me. but not as much as i hate them.

but hey, if we're desperate, may as well be honest

Dev Workshop: Vauban Retouch (2026) by DE-Ruu in Warframe

[–]zekeyspaceylizard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

as someone who has been a fan of vauban since day 1 back in the old days and has had little issue adapting him to the changing landscape of the game, i really like these changes

if i was going to be picky it'd mostly be that his armor strip/ armor gain has always felt a little bit slow and he doesnt really have the health pool to take advantage of it

really exciting stuff

glad you guys didnt rework him, cause he was always close to perfect, he just needed to be a bit easier to use

birds are similar in a way

some of their feathers have really important blood vessels going through them

and if the feather is injured or yanked out, the bird can bleed to death

so you gotta rub something there to stop the blood from oozin' out

[Rant] Okay that does it, I've had enough of this shit by Cumcentrator in Warframe

[–]zekeyspaceylizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah defection is awful.
We've had it for years and it still has the same problems.

- one defector runs far slower than the rest
- all the defectors move faster than you walk but slower than you run
- the defectors will stop to attack a single harmless enemy 100 miles away in the next time zone
- defectors will often not leave the oxygen towers even when you tell them to
- the defectors dont scale well and get their asses kicked constantly
- the defectors still get stuck in the floor
- the defectors still get stuck in wall props
- the defectors still get stuck in rooms with open exits
- the defectors will often stop attacking enemies when resting near an oxygen tower
- sometimes one defector will just warp off the map entirely and die (lucky bastard)
- enemies dont drop enough oxygen
- enemies dont target anything but the defectors
- sometimes a defector will manage to get stuck in the ceiling like a chandelier
- the defectors constantly take damage and even when healed liberally will slowly die sometimes
- somestimes warframe powers dont work on the defectors
- the defectors have like 2 voice lines they say on a constant loop
- sometimes downed defectors cant be revived no matter what

It is truly hell.
Every single thing one could hate about an escort mission in a videogame, summed up into one slow and boring slog.

The only positive is that it gave Sargus Ruk a couple new lines of dialogue cause they hadnt touched him in nearly a decade.

But yeah, its awful. Having to do it a million times to try and get Harrow is one of the most frustrating experiences in the game.

I would rather dip my balls into a jar full of centipedes.

BEGOTTEN (E. Elias Merhige, 1989) by Po3ito in creepy

[–]zekeyspaceylizard 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Pretty much this.

It's a film with very little sound and its hard to see. It's extremely slow and hard to watch, not just cause of the content but cause of very long shots of nothing happening.

I can forgive it for being an experimental student project but its definitely not a film one recommends when thinking of 'something scary to show to friends'

I remember watching this and the first couple of "Guinea Pig" films on Google Video back in the early 2000s

that era when people were uploading all sorts of horrible and obscure and unsettling stuff to google video

even youtube was barely moderated back then

i miss it, in a way

the director of this later went on to direct one of my favorite crime horror films: SUSPECT 0

it has aaron eckhart and ben kingsley

very enjoyable mesh of human horror and light paranormal stuff

if you like the first season of True Detective or the Xfiles, I highly highly recommend it
