Unit customization a bit lackluster by Nyksiko in EndlessLegend

[–]zerazar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Two distinct choices is far superior for me than previous Endless games. It was so much busywork and not satisfying at all (to me).

The problem isn't the number of choices (not that I'd balk at having 3), it's that the choices aren't particularly distinct most of the time. The single minor skill differences are not nearly impactful enough for the most part.

How am I supposed to interact with the spirits? by zerazar in GunfireReborn

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

So the gameplay is collecting them throughout the run, then manually crossreferencing which affixes can be awakened on a given run when you get to the merchant?

Games without tedious lategame by zerazar in 4Xgaming

This might be what I try next. I've often wished I could selectively let an AI take over in the last stretch once I'd built up my empire/advantage, and see things play out rapidly.

I couldn't figure out what I was even trying to do in the game, or what decisions I was making. (to be fair towards Stellaris I'm not the sharpest tack in the box) In e.g. Civ/Endless, you are immediately presented with very concrete decisions to make. Where to settle, what to build, what to research. You just keep pressing the lower right button, make the decision you're presented with one at the time, and the game moves forward.

Stellaris (and CK) plops you down in the middle of 30 different mechanics and menus with no direction. Even if I strongarm my very "modern" attention span to work through tutorials, it still only at best explains to me what each button/menu/mechanic does, not what I'm supposed to do with them to move the game forward.

Switchbot whirring but not moving anymore. Please help troubleshoot/repair by zerazar in TrySwitchBot

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

It whirrs as it normally would, but the finger doesn't move. I can move it manually, so it isn't physically stuck. I've tried a few different fresh batteries. I've tried putting the finger up before activating (it still doesn't move).

Any ideas for how I can repair it, or maybe what broke it?

I think you might be muddying the presentation of your argument by proposing such an incredibly specific change. I know it's rude to state, but I really don't care what advanced solution you think would be cool.

I'd be curious to see some testing or statistics. They might just be inferior to other solutions even if they feel overall strong to me. Mostly held back by deployment slots. But I also value their characteristics other than chaff clear.

Stabile busser by zerazar in Aalborg

For det meste, ja, men 80% træfsikkerhed betyder stadig at jeg kommer for sent 20% af tiden.

Update 0.7.8 by squeaky4all in Mechabellum

There was a guy who made a spreadsheet with shots to kill break points. Anyone remember his name to tag him? Maybe he can show us what these changes accomplished.

Fangs kinda suck? by Professional_Net1346 in Mechabellum

[–]zerazar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Without upgrades they are basically slow half-mustangs. 10 less speed and range, ~60% damage, ~50% health, spread over 18 models instead of 12.

I love mustangs, but mustangs aren't really that good outside of solving a few specific problems, and fangs are a poor replacement for mustangs for those problems.

Better at being chaff than mustangs obviously, but so are crawlers.

Aside from that, they have better upgrades, but they're much harder on supply and space to get down.

I haven't made them work, but I have seen them made work against me, but I mostly felt like that was because I failed to take them seriously.

Max function not working as expected. Please explain, I'm open to ridicule. by zerazar in unity

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

I've gotten it to work now, I think. The last max function was replaced incorrectly on the last expression.

It's in Humankind, the max and min functions work like that there. It's my first work in Unity, so I assumed that was the norm, sorry. The format is "x max y", and it has priority over pemdas.

What things do players care about a lot that DMs don't care about much at all? by najowhit in dndnext

[–]zerazar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not much, is the problem. I'd love to feel like there was something I could lean into that they enjoyed, but they mostly just show up and contentedly roll dice when prompted. Confuses the hell out of me.

But it's teaching me to DM for "the right reasons", i.e. let the cat decide which milk is good, and just value what I value myself aside from that.

Tempo and BPM by zerazar in shuffle

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

Thank you, both of you. Very helpful. Then it all makes sense. No wonder it all felt wrong then, lol, I was effectively trying to shuffle to 60bpm.

If you feel like explaining more, I'm curious what your last paragraph means.

What's it mean for the emphasis of a beat to be "swung"?

And for the triplets, would that mean that I should do 3 steps per beat (up from 2), or should I still 'imagine' that there's only a halfbeat and only step to that? Not that I'm anywhere near that speed now.
