My school banned D&D as a form of gambling in the 1980s. They shut down the D&D club and everything. I was VP of the science fiction club, and we were supposed to sign a statement that said we understood that we would not condone gambling or game playing of any sort, and this included board games. I never signed it.
It may be unpopular opinion, but I prefer this mechanic than enemies scaling their level with you. This is also why I love older Piranha Bytes titles (Gothic 1, 2 and Risen), as beating tough enemies that you encountered many times and couldn’t beat before because you had previously weak character is the best thing ever.
Only time it feels bad is when the game doesn’t give you enough levels/xp by just doing the story missions. Don’t make me do some checklist gaming side quests just so i don’t get one shot in the next area.
I can tell the strength difference between a Rando Bandit and a Decently Equipped Bandit.
Or a Rando Bandit and a Giant Ass Monster.
But this is obviously not the case for Rando Bandit and Rando Bandit, when somehow the latter is stronger because they stay on the other side of the forest.
I just hate this kind of areal difficulty scaling because there isn’t much visual cue provided.
Cazadors are worse than deathclaws and I will die on that hill. In fact I did in that hill outside of Goodsprings more often than I care to count because those fuckers keep killing you even after they’re dead.
It’s a metaphor about 13yo kid trying to understand why people pay money for anything when you can get stuff for free. The only thing a kiddo comes up with is that some people are bad and will chop trees down. Then they go to lemmy.ml and post dumb shit.
Modern technological human history is only about a hundred years … we were cavemen and acting like scared children for about 50,000 years before and like frightened monkeys for 2 million years before that … we may have landed on the moon but we are closer to our ancient ancestors than to any futuristic highly evolved human society.
It’s very rough around the edges and the grind is so bonkers. It also suffers from things taking an obscene amount of time single player, but rather trivialized in multiplayer. I really thought I was going to like it the game is right up my alley but I give it some pretty meh opinions
I modded the heck out of it (I think 58 mods installed), all small tweaks, rebalances and quality of life stuff. Now it plays great single player, but yeah it’s definitely balanced for 2+ players.
I never understood this. In my dreams phones, tablets, and clocks all work. Like last night I pulled up a world map and zoomed in on Europe on a tablet, and not only did my brain fill in all the countries and even major cities (totally incorrectly as I’m in the US and not that familiar with European geography), but the website even had pop up ads that I needed to close out of to view the map without distractions. I could also Google where vikings originated and pull up a totally normal appearing Wikipedia page. Tech always works just fine in my dreams
I have this recurring thing where I notice things like this when I’m dreaming, and it causes me to wake up in the middle of the night. Except I didn’t wake up. I dreamt that I woke up. Then I often fall back asleep again. I don’t wake up until something’s strong enough to wake me up twice.
Except sometimes when my body really doesn’t want to be awake, I’ll wake up a second time, then a third, then a fourth, and it just goes on forever until I’ve really overslept.
I was playing through the Minecraft twilight forest mod and i decided to go kill the lich first, i was wondering why i couldnt damage it at all, turns out the mod has a progression and in areas you havent unlocked you can’t damage anything, i went and killed the naga and was able to do it
Listen, we can’t all be Sid Meier or Edmund McMillan. Some of us are just a 14 year old who’s learning Java for the first time. Doesn’t mean it isn’t fun.
I’m troubled by the suspicion many people I dislike have personal bunkers with plenty supplies, while those I care about don’t. That’s a big L for me, and W for persons I hate.
I think the most important point of such preparations is scrolling through kitsch art albums for these idiots have a negative value of taste. I imagine myself with a makeshift nailgun and a molotov observing another room and just losing my mind who the fuck could even want that shit in the first place. That leaves me pretty vulnerable and my revolt doomed.
