No need to play DS3, if you've played one Dark Soul you've played them all. Every TLP release is unique though, of course. Better cough up some $$$ to buy the big bags and grind through unrest and guk or whatever!!

I redid the Arcosphere Balancer using a score-based system, which after reading what other people do is generally the "right" solution. There's a ton of craaaaazy shit people have come up with to solve this including linear alegebra ( arco linear algebra ) a sushi looking belt thing ( Space...

I'm not really a fan of pickle ball, but any clowns dissing it over tennis, ping-pong or whatever other dumb sport they like can get fucked.

Here's Naq Fac 3.0, it's super similar but subtle differences are built into the pulverizer -> powder/refinement to enable balancing. You can see the belt reading circuits which are tied to the inserters for the powder / refinement factories to disable them to avoid stalling from backpressure...

Good luck and God speed. Don't be afraid of the 1-1 trains :D

There's no reason to believe that Toronaga planned that suicide, though. It was merely a convenient way to convince his enemy he was going to surrender. Why was this important? So his brother would let him laze about instead of taking him directly to Ishido? That whole part was pretty contrived.

Brother I'm a 1BTC hodler. My model is basically a rock that I put on the hold button. I in no way am arguing that is a useful approach.

Also it's a good idea to have conflicting rules, so when you make a decision based on them, you can just remind yourself that you should have followed the rules, rather than the rules being inadequate to model finance :D

Built my first nexus ship. I believe it's strong enough to beat the game with, which is nice because I haven't unlocked the last science yet, which allows for building even bigger space ships. I've never seen these double-fletched design before, but I think it's just about optimal. full size...

If you haven't done a city block with train stations before, I'd recommend adopting that as part of the great elevator integration.

5692. The preivous planet I glaived is 8049, or twice the circumference. Took forevverrrr. Yeah using the Scan Surface tool to explore the planet slows down the game a ton, then you have these big ass save files during the glaiving, which also cost UPS. But it's for a greater good. Going...

after 800 hours of being on a deathworld, it's time to really go to war

God bless the brave bulwarks that guard human history on wikipedia from wrong think

found it

Yeah I saw a breakdown for all the AC games today (I can't find it) and every protagonist was squarely in line with the setting.

In practical terms, every new Japanese character you're introduced to should have the same incredulous response. I mean, we're talking about a person whose liege made him strip and wash the black off his skin. Otherwise the character either has to be changed from an obscure character who spent...

Reading that page makes the concept of having him be the protagonist even sillier. Like, what exactly do you pull from those historical accounts and make an AC game out of? I'm not really a person to play the race card and it's not my culture being maligned, but the lack of male asian...

pretty much

Sure. Even beyond the differences in Australian culture due to influence of southeast asians and Pacific islanders, the author's biography is interesting. Notably he fought against Japan in WWII and was a PoW, so he has some real-world experience beyond what a typical western author would. Not...

The quest-heavy content of later EQ is, in my opinion, less enjoyable than the grinding-focused content of early EQ. I think most live EQ players treat the progression quests as speedbumps they have to do rather than a core part of the expansion they're interested in. Part of that is because the...

Just finished season 1, enjoyed it. How historically accurate is the suicidal tendencies of Samurai? I know Seppuku is a thing, but the show opened up with Tadayoshi speaking out of turn and then having to kill himself AND his kid. That set the stage for all these suicidal characters attacking...

I don't remember that concept at all. People have been asking for a Japanese AC since AC1 though.

I always thought a japanese AC would be a must buy. But even the first thing I've learned makes me dubious I hope they try something new instead of just open world rpg.

If you've played 200-300 hours in FromSoft soulslike games and can't get enough of it, then yeah, play another one. But if you don't, don't feel like you've somehow missed out on a unique experience. Conversely, if you played any of the DS games and enjoyed them, you're missing out if you don't...

finally, damn time to beam nauvis now... it's smaller and closer to the sun, but denser

Here's my naq factory 2.0. It's a total failure. full res: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53719928393_ae82fab6ce_o.jpg Naquium ingots are unique in K2SE in that they have a bifurcated production of the refined and powdered portions that unite later in the crystals and ingots. It's not...

If you really loved the combat and lore of ER, it's definitely worth looking into those. I have no opinion on which would be first.

If you've played DS1, DS2 and ER, Dark Souls 3 can be safely skipped.

Yep, the industry really hasn't evolved from Daggerfall giving you a combinatoric quest. A big reason for that is that handcrafted quests with careful writing work so much better. The first generation of this type of AI that generates content will be terrible, but that capability is definitely...

Huh? Pretty sure from beta to now (in SoD) the optimal leveling is questing with decent paths and some opportunistic grinding inbetween.

I think this will be a big genre in the future. It'll be huge both for Elder Scrolls style games, MMOs, battle royal-style games, etc. I'm kinda disappointed I haven't seen any good demonstrations of AI-driven gameplay in the game space. I can have Chat GPT easily rewrite this entire thread in...

As someone in a guild that dominated their Shadowbane server at release, went peaceful for weeks only to curbstomp the opposition several times, the idea of the game was perfect for world PvP. It was sort of like a more involved Guild Wars 2 campaign which only lasted a week and was fairly...

Naq Hauler Mk. III I found this calculator for ship speed: Spaceship Speed Calculator I guess it's an approximation of a recursive function but is decently accurate, within a few "speeds" of my top speed in this ship.

DAO is a great tolkein-like RPG with solid mechanics and impressive storytelling. The POV character and their story are fairly engrossing even if "chosen warrior of a noble but secretive order" isn't a rare theme. The specific lore they push like the darkspawn, mage demons, deep roads, etc...

My brother, to call Blighttown a shithole would be an insult to shitholes everywhere. Meanwhile, Tomb of the Giants I enjoyed working through many of the shitholes in all three Dark Souls games, but I don't think you understood my post.

Going back to Dark Souls after ER seems like it'd be tough. In ER there is so much variety and you get a break from challenging dungeon/boss gameplay with some open-world freedom to cleanse the pallete. In DS you clear a shithole dungeon with bullshit mechanics and fight a shitbird boss only to...

Basically. I can send pics of the receiving side, but it's basically a lander, a signal transmitter, some constant cominbators with a handful of each entity type I'll need (and a ton of rocket parts, elevator cables, meteor defense items), and then storage chests for each item.
