Is that hyperloop?
- Comment on I still can't get over Skyrim. Are there any games that can replace it? 1 week ago:
On hard difficulty, it feels like soulslike / tes mixup. The combat is dynamic and most enemies of your level would hit hard, but blocks, dodges and dashes are there.
But on the other hand, more things can be improved with gear and level to absurd proportions, like improve iframes on dodge or extend parry window to like more than half a sec.

How is Gothic remake mechanically? Like, are the controls modernized too? What about difficulty, did it drop?

I guess Irish learned to diversify, the hard way.

MMOs today vs MMOs in the early age of gaming - they differ a lot. Now they are shinier with a lot of gameplay features, but they lost the core feature - global player interaction & competition.
Most MMOs today just offer you some version of singleplayer RPG quests that you can do with your friends. You might see the other players but you can’t do any offensive actions, many dungeons are just generated for your team and cut from the rest of the playerbase. While that’s fun, that’s…
Not on the level of fighting other players who keep you out of a good leveling location fun. Not the same as 5 competing guilds go to the same worldboss and now they need to fight each other and worldboss fun. Or some local rivalries that end up in clans viciously fighting each other, and that can chain react into some alliances fighting each other. All while a single death slightly de-levels you.
And yes, I’m talking about Lineage 2. When players and social interactions are what actually writes the story of the world, there is some charm in that.

Don’t like the ruleset of it either. There are so many fouls cause it’s stupid and vague.
What do you mean it’s a foul to bodyblock the player who jumps with a ball? So mf can just jump forward on you and it’s YOUR responsibility to move out?
So what’s my goal as a defender, bodyblock (sometimes) and reach my hands to the ball in order to push the ball out or steal it… While reaching those same hands out to block the player movement is foul? You do understand that it’s the same move right? Same hands in the same 3d fucking world?

Elden Ring did fix some of runbacks with the stake of Marika before the boss room. Yet, some still exist and are annoying asf.
Don’t agree with 8h of gameplay though. Even if runbacks were fixed, that wouldn’t go under 100.

Depends on what you write and how much you spend reviewing, you can get the same understanding. The speed differs by a lot.

Honestly, don’t understand your problem. You still can read the code and control the quality. You can still too scripts and you can even teach the AI to use them.

But seriously, why weren’t they properly quarantined? We learned nothing from the previous case.
- Comment on Let's discuss ideas how Game Pass should be structured and priced 1 month ago:
Is rather have a conversation that paying for software isn’t a bad thing. It incentivises creating new software.
Not paying a cent for open source just highlights the problem - it’s not like people didn’t spent their dev time creating the software don’t deserve the compensation. They do. And this is one reason why open source is doing an uphill battle vs proprietary that can just put enormous pricetag and people pay.
Saying that, I never subbed for gamepass and hopefully never will. I like to buy things directly. Steam / GOG is perfect. I wish there was that model in films/anime/music.

That happens but that’s why you do your research and search the feedback on shops first.
- Comment on Hi, I'm Paul! 2 months ago:
Crazy how you people even meet Paul. In Ukraine 99% interactions were via stashes: pay someone in crypto so they reveal the location (lat/lon) of the hidden stash and the photos of where it’s hidden. Then off you go treasure hunting.
No face to face contact this way.

You can orgasm without a partner. Same goes for toys. That’s not sex. It’s not even unusual for asexual people do all that.
Limiting amount of partners to single digits or even just one reduces the odds of issues drastically. It’s not a religious thing.
Y’all look like those teens that got to live separately from their parents to start eating sweets 100% time instead of normal food cause it’s tastier. Fun for a while. Bad idea in the long run.

Actions have consequences, what a weird concept. Being outside in the cold in light clothes have consequences with increased chance to catch cold.
Nobody would tell you to live with the consequences cause it’s not permanent, several days at home and you are fine.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
STDs are not 100% prevented by condoms, and STIs are not prevented at all. The more sex partners you have, the bigger the odds you’ll have consequences.
Toys as substitute to what, physical contact? Having a partner?

False equivalence. Are you American or what?
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
Sex brings pleasure and consequences in children/std or even physical injuries. Also sex is largerly overrated when we have videogames and anime.

It would prevent nothing of this. You need to deliver the nuke to the destination and USA is on the other side of the globe.
