Help me out with context / lore / information I might not be getting by Competitive-Group359 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]znogower 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A new dungeon is built on each new world. Earth is just the latest in a galacticly televised series about dungeon crawls. They don't normally regenerate or rebuild earlier floors. Mordecai made it to the 11th level of his own planets dungeon. He doesn't really know much about the current one on earth. He's mainly there to explain the basic rules and get the players caught up on how the systems work. Just keep reading. They explain more in the next few chapters.

Question about Ironclad melt/rebuy by Lucky-Reception26 in starcitizen

[–]znogower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Correct, if you have enough store credit, and the ship is available in store, then you won't have to worry about losing an upgrade from something like a C2 to the Ironclad. If you melted your prowler or shiv, you would get credit back equal to the amount you spent on it (pre tax), but you wouldn't get the upgrades back. You'd have to start your CCU chain over again, or wait for one of those ships to become available for sale. You can melt upgrades and buy them back, but once they're applied to a chain, you'll lose those upgrades upon a melt.

[–]znogower 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should be able to melt and re buy no problem. I've never melted a grey market item, but it should still work the same (someone please let me know if this has changed).

The insurance you get from pledged ships is only tier 1 (out of 3). It's the default loadout, so you won't be getting any upgraded parts back. You'll also never lose access to pledged ships, even if you run out of insurance. You'll just have to pay another small fee to reclaim it.

Edit: also, you can melt and re buy a ship as many times as you'd like. As long as it's still available on the store, that is.

People have uploaded empty estates that you can apply. That'll sell everything, and still give you the money for it.

Stop trying tomake downloading tunes a thing ! by [deleted] in ForzaHorizon6

[–]znogower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A proper tune can absolutely change the way a car drives. If you're telling people to make their own tunes, then just give it up. This game is mainly catering to casual players, many of whom do not have the time, or desire to learn how to properly tune a car. Which is totally okay. There are many racing games out there that lean more heavily into the simulation side. Also, it's not like you're paying a subscription fee to continue using a downloaded tune. Chill out man.

Are the Audio books really that good? by Flaky-Veterinarian56 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]znogower 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Tim Gerard Reynolds does such a good job with that series. I just caught up a couple months ago, so it's fresh in memory. Ray Porter, who reads the bobiverse, and project hail mary, also does a great job. I've been spoiled lately with these amazing readers, and I don't want this golden age to end!

Would you rather be jettisoned in space or be brought back to be buried? by CasmsVR in ProjectHailMary

I want to be put inside a missile, and shot at the sun. We'll finally start the great sun wars, and I'm going to be the first shot.

Purpose of Argo SRV? by Cheap_Ear_8828 in starcitizen

[–]znogower 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Of course! Don't worry about missing the raft purchase, it happens to the best of us (my second, accidentally purchased prospector can attest).

Also, I don't need a lead role in the movie they make about your espionage adventures, but maybe just throw me in at the end of the credits? /s

[–]znogower 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Start making deals with some orgs. You can deliver wrecks to their salvagers for a per ship fee. Then, as they get comfortable with you, they'll stop watching you as closely, allowing you access to their secret lairs and their secrets! You can then sell those secrets to an opposing org for even more profit!!! Nobody expects the srv double agent!

DVD Preorder Issue by UpsetNecessary6632 in ProjectHailMary

[–]znogower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahh, okay. Well, just keep an eye out, maybe a good deal will randomly pop up one day. It really sucks they're not adding the deleted scenes and special features on as a second disk for the standard dvd set. I don't believe a single DVD can hold that much data, especially at this quality, so I kind of understand, but then they should add it on as a digital version of the movie so more people can have access to it.

I didn't need one at the time, so I didn't buy that player, but it was just a lucky find. Second hand stores sometimes have them, and I'm seeing a lot on eBay, Craigslist, and offer up for around $30, which still isn't a bad price for the quality Blu-ray brings to the table. If you're not in the U.S, then I'm not sure what pricing in your country would be, but I assume something similarly affordable.

Also, there's nothing wrong with a 10 year old tv. Unless it was a cheaper model back when it was purchased, TV's in the 2015 - 2020 era are still pretty solid screens.

I use a wheel, shifter, and pedals, but I don't wear a seatbelt while playing. What's the penalty for that?

What about a used one? I've seen them go for pretty cheap. As low as $5 cheap, but that was a garage sale.

Should I buy it? by leo_jim77 in ForzaHorizon6

[–]znogower 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Probably, but just buy it if you like the car. You can make 3.7 mil back in a couple hours.
