Bulgarian cracker

#

Used to be part of REVOLT

#

Iirc he forgot to use secure communication channels or some shit

#

Irdeto found his identity and raided his shit

#

Took him to court

#

Iirc he got years of prison but that was a while ago

fringe salmon
#

well depending on how it was done sounds fair

barren pewter
#

individual caught and tried for criminal activities

#

that's pretty standard ngl

feral ferry
#

To be fair cracking games and releasing a crack is one thing

tough jay
#

Personally think cracking drm should be fair game, but that's just me.

feral ferry
#

How many peeps crack games for themselves I wonder

#

Denuvo specifically

young hill
#

pepecry thought you just meant you were whiter than a ghost

barren pewter
#

or you can be EGS and not package ANY DRM into games on your store beyond third party DRM
then any DRM-free game can just be bought, downloaded, and refunded (I like doing this, a lot)

fringe salmon
#

thats why I said depending on how it was done, if its like the switch people who sold stuff for modding at profit, that is absolutely justifiable to be in court imo

young hill
#

With cds not paper disc codesmm

barren pewter
#

my most recent physical game purchase came with two codes

#

that was it

tough jay
#

Still the act of circumventing copy right protection is illegal in most courts (with exceptions)

orchid prism
#

Steam emulation ftw I guess.

barren pewter
#

steam und gog

feral ferry
#

Who gives a fuck?

#

I prefer the term "circumcising"

fringe salmon
#

did anyone ever get charged for cracking a game they bought and did not distribute it? doubt that would be the case

#

yeye i know

feral ferry
#

Wonder why Steam is completely fine with their protection being bypassed with a copy and paste file

fringe salmon
#

because the most damage with that is not done to steam/egs but the dev

feral ferry
#

Surely Valve would care about the developer right?

#

Right..?

fringe salmon
#

if you take a 30% cut you also only lose out on 30% if it gets circumvented

young hill
#

30% is too little to care😎

tough jay
#

I don't know cases directly, but crackers that get arrested usually seem to get arrested for cracking, not for distruting cracked games.
Same with flashcard makers / modchip makers

young hill
#

Correct me if I am wrong movie piracy is considered bad when someone sells distrubting it?

feral ferry
#

Except Nintendo, who take you down for everything lul

young hill
#

Screw Nintendo, they even take down fan stuff

#

Pokemon Uranium is nice too bad Nintendo had to walk in

feral ferry
#

They can't really prosecute anyone for actually downloading or using cracked shit right?

fringe salmon
#

oh they can but even nintendo doesnt do it because its usually not worth it

tough jay
#

downloading yes, using / owning no

#

at least here

#

In practice, downloading in most countries hardly ever / never leads to fines.

young hill
#

Is the fine print original distribution or are link sharing people in trouble too?

#

Epico

#

They lock media files down hard these anyway

fringe salmon
#

well technically that could also be followed up under something like enticing people to break the law or such

#

also any points depends on what country, not all places have the same ideas about it obviously

tough jay
#

If the copyright owner distributes it themselves, I think something could be said for it being just another legal source.

rancid hearth
#

piratebay is based in Sweden, don't quote me on that

young hill
tough jay
#

Those extorting law firms in at least Germany basically just join the swarm and log German ip addresses.
Kind of a sad state of affairs

fringe salmon
#

yes hence why you sharing links might not follow the same rules if you are not in sweden xD

rancid hearth
#

I mean if you want complete immunity go to Russia, although maybe not now

young hill
#

Antarctica might be a good choice then

rancid hearth
young hill
#

Interesting people still play geometry dash

rancid hearth
#

I recently got back into it

orchid prism
#

Piratebay doesn't have shit for immunity. It only through a dumb network of proxies and broken websites these days

#

And yes - links are legally an issue as well. Google constantly gets court ordered to remove links.

young hill
#

Rip dmcapepecry

barren pewter
#

honestly, I can't stand the DRM thing, as well as just shitty game design
features getting sunset is a huge fuck you, or even having access to the damn game being a challenge

young hill
barren pewter
#

the mad max scrap crews, for example
needs to communicate with a server for some odd reason, to simply tell time and determine how much scrap you get

#

...

young hill
barren pewter
#

yes

young hill
fringe salmon
#

I mean thats just dumb decisions

rancid hearth
#

there's so many "single player"games that need internet access for whatever reason

barren pewter
#

end result, scrap crew is COMPLETELY USELESS

fringe salmon
#

but would you have issues with drm if they would have a total of 0% performance influence?

fading spade
young hill
#

Lol

rancid hearth
#

but why tho

barren pewter
orchid prism
barren pewter
young hill
barren pewter
#

Bill 96 is...

#

fuck

#

I hate that with a passion

fringe salmon
#

I mean, assuming it's also non internet requiring drm etc.

#

so it doesnt impact a player who bought the game at all

#

if you want to give the game to a friend, steam sharing and all that makes it already easier than giving an actual copy

rancid hearth
#

there's also things like icon packs on Android that need to verify if they have been gotten from the play store

fringe salmon
#

I guess ideally would be no performance impact drm that is gone after idk, 12 months or something

barren pewter
#

ye

#

that would be IDEAL

#

of course it never happens

young hill
#

Even subtractum themes I say the same

#

But those need lucky patcher protection

#

Because they still get cracked with a button tap

#

So saying it now drm be useless on those

fringe salmon
#

I guess my main reason why I dont mind drm that isn't actually making a game unplayable is people being weird and feeling entitled to own a game without paying for it if they dont like the dev or smth

#

like I dont like blizzard, so I just dont give them any of my money

young hill
#

To be fair it feels nice to spend hard earned money

#

Makes one appreciate their purchase more

rancid hearth
#

then again you should probably do a little research before you buy anything

young hill
fringe salmon
#

exceptions are if you live in a place where it's relatively 5x as expensive due to shit currency or such, then I could see it

young hill
#

Or being locked out of stuff politically

#

That is the other argument piracy for information

rancid hearth
#

I mean if you're broke to the point to where you won't even be able to buy something, they won't gain a sale from you anyways

barren pewter
#

need I mention Polish discord nitro prices?

#

cheaper than a bottle of shit vodka

rancid hearth
#

it makes sense but for large countries where there's a large divide in class it falls apart

fringe salmon
#

sure and I would close my eyes in that case, but technically that's more bad luck and not something that makes a good reason why you should be entitled to own a game

young hill
fringe salmon
#

or bad luck I guess sounding bad, more like it should be using regional pricing etc.

#

but yea those are grey areas

barren pewter
#

they don't have a euro price iirc

#

so there needs to be a substitute, like ANOTHER currency used in the EU

I just know our military says we waste money bc we order some weapons that cost way too much to make and come too late instead of using what would be cheaper and better

#

and that we have tanks that arent really useable anymore

#

that we tried to send to the ukraine without thinking that you need a few months of training with that tank

that sounded accurate to how I view our politicians competency so I believe those things to be true

Someone leaked stuff on Warthunder forums... again

feral ferry
#

Type 99A

#

Technically lul

trim rock
#

Excellent

feral ferry
#

Leaked shell performance for their main kinetic round penetrator

#

Classified shit

#

The thing was blurred so I'm rather interested how much their APFSDS sucks dick

feral ferry
#

@lime hare

#

That's the leak

#

The penetrator and classified datasheets

#

So it flies at 1760 m/s, quite slow I'd say for a modern smoothbore

#

I sincerely hope, for the Chinese sake

#

That is not the penetration values

#

For their standard issue kinetic penetrator

#

For a 125 that's a bit slow

feral ferry
#

So I'm assuming from this

#

At 15 degrees celsius ambient temperature, the round traveled at 1760 m/s from a 125mm smoothbore gun, it was fired at a target 0.25 m x 0.25m wide at range of 2000m

#

The round managed to pierce 220mm at an angle of 71 degrees, and 680 flat on

#

With chance to hit at >90%

#

Respectable performance

#

Not as good as russkiy or NATO stuff

#

Hey my guesstranslation was correct lul

#

That... is not how you quote

#

It'll be removed by the end of the day by admins lul

#

It does check out realism wise

#

Multiple times lul

#

But not from Chinese side

#

China is very enigmatic

#

They always tend to claim ridiculous performance values with no documentation to back it up

#

This, if full legit and it does seem so, does put them back a few decades than what we have now

#

Iirc there was another NATO tank leak

I don't remember which one it was though

orchid prism

Origins was the first, and the only good one. The second one had interesting characters, but it felt like they had to cut down a game to a single chapter. You were stuck in a single, incredibly dull city and the combat was shit.

severe compass
#

Where's my yyyy/mm/dd format buddies at? Computers automatically sort it correctly by alphabetical order!

novel umbra
severe compass
#

When you make files however adding yyyy/mm/dd at the start of the name means the files are always organised when sorted alphabetically, whilst dd/mm/yyyy or worse mm/dd/yyyy will organize files by day or month first, grouping all files on the same day together like the first of every month no matter the year.

Also programs like Excel and it's derivatives will know exactly where year month and day are meant to go and stop auto selecting mm/dd/yy

orchid prism
severe compass
#

It's useful if you are say saving files that are based on older documents or events. Like when I had to help me ol dad organise our scanned family photos

severe compass
# novel umbra

You aren't listening
When I make a file on a date, it does not necessarily belong to that date! Like if a am scanning family photos, the family photos were created long before I scanned them, Windows or Linux for that matter does not have the AI capability to automatically work out the dates of old physical scanned photographs, or legal documents. If I scan a tend year old photo/document today it's going to say it was made today, but I want it organised by it's real creation date of ten years ago

novel umbra
#

but would you chuck all your family photos just in one folder and call it a day

#

instead of a folder structure

#

which solves the problem in it's entirety

severe compass
#

If you are scanning the unorganised photos in big quantities it's often easier to title them YYYY/MM/DD, then organise them in folders after the fact. Even after organising into folders it can be easier to see which photo came from which date

#

Like if you have a folder for a week long vacation

#

Disciples and Divinity and Dragon Age are completely different types. ( at least until Dragon Age 3 )

#

those are what are refered to as Traditional RPG, the kind that harkens to ye olde 80s/90s style of RPG which involve RPG mechanics, tactics, and heavy dialogue.

a Tactical RPG would be... like 🤔 the new XCOM games. Not so much in the dialogue but it's RPG-ish and tactical

feral ferry
#

As far as RPGs go, I've loved Elder Scrolls, Fallouts and XCom

#

That's about as much RPG as I play really?

solid bough
#

original or new xcom?

feral ferry
#

2

solid bough
#

damn

#

yeah is good and all but i favored original.

#

anyways

feral ferry
#

2 was really fun especially modded

solid bough
#

have you played older Elder Scroll and Fallout games or just the modern ones?

feral ferry
#

I did not delve into the 90s ones

solid bough
#

but you've at least played Morrowind, ye?

feral ferry
#

But I've played every single one after and including Morrowind

solid bough
#

awesome ❤️

feral ferry
#

Morrowind was very familiar yet so alien to me

solid bough
#

well, if you wanted morrowind but less 3D but more expansive : there's a unity project that successfully made Daggerfall less-archaic and pretty damn fun.

feral ferry
#

It does everything so differently to the point it wasn't really fun

#

Oblivion I had a blast with, a bit antiquated but it had its charms

solid bough
#

it's a completely different style than oblivion and skyrim mainly because it stuck better to traditional RPG roots.

feral ferry
#

Skyrim I have thousands of hours in so that's not even a contest lul

solid bough
#

Oblivion is fun yeah even though it has it's bad quirks. Still spent hundreds of hours into it lol

#

Skyrim was both good and disappointing to me. Disappointing as a Elder Scrolls game but more fun as just a game.

#

I wanted that RPG aspect and while Oblivion stripped some of it out... Skyrim pretty much removed all of it >.>

#

i like me them numbers

feral ferry
#

I will still vow to myself this summer to return to Oblivion once more and try Nehrim for the first time

solid bough
#

anyways if you want more of those kind fo games... lets see....

#

You've played Deus Ex ( original)?

feral ferry
#

Then after that return to Enderal for the hell knows which time and complete the whole thing

solid bough
#

Arx Fatalis?

feral ferry
feral ferry
solid bough
#

Arx Fatalis is as if Morrowind never got popular but still really good and it's still a pretty good RPG.

#

Deus Ex is considered a timeless classic.

#

which is why everyone lost their god damn minds when non-trash sequel game came out

#

it's first person heavy dialogue cyberpunk game

#

your choices genuinely matter, and its an RPG

#

and the story is pretty good. especialyl if you love government agencies and conspiracy stuff

#

now, it is a bit crusty in terms of early 2000s 3D game. but it's not 90s 3D.

trim rock
#

It's Unreal Engine 1 with its famous detail textures so it somehow still looks pretty damn sharp even to this day

solid bough
#

hell yeah

#

it's "vintage good" so it doesn't look like poo but it's not crysis

trim rock
#

Also I hear there are mods

solid bough
#

yes indeed

#

and you kinda need to modify the game to make it work on modern computers cause, sometimes it gets real feisty, for being old.

#

like... i had a time with one version fo the game trying to run the game with VOODOO drivers and I'm like OIE >:V

trim rock
#

Heck yeah GLIDE API!

solid bough
#

awesome, another one that knows ❤️

solid bough
# feral ferry Barely heard of it

an issue thats gonna crop up is, honestly, there is a large gap of FPS RPG genre that simply doesn't exist for perhaps spanning a decade that wasn't bethesda made. and then Traditional RPGs didn't come back until like 15 years later after they mostly died.

In the game industry, sadly, genres are fads set by the whims of publishers. And publishers go for "safe" bets. So most FPS and traditional RPGs died.

#

also I super recommend System Shock 1 or 2 ( mostly 2 is easily to get into) because they practically set the standards for the games you listed as enjoying

#

it's shooty, it's looty, and rpgy

feral ferry
#

I remember using dgVoodoo 2 for playing an ancient game that is so good it STILL has no par to it to this day

solid bough
#

and survival

#

kickass

feral ferry
#

Literally my dream is one day to make a sequel to that particular game

solid bough
#

do you have that voodoo card still? I'm trying to complete my vintage PC collection 👀

#

what game?

feral ferry
#

Parkan Iron Strategy

solid bough
#

sounds vaguely familair

feral ferry
#

For old games that weren't built for nvidia stuff

solid bough
#

i've seen the box art but can't say I've played it

feral ferry
#

Uses Glide iirc

solid bough
#

oh. i forgot.

#

i want to get a real voodoo card lol

feral ferry
#

Man Parkan for me is the epitome of the best game. It has strategy elements, where you build up your shit, and then you hop into FPS/3rd person shooter where whatever you just built in strategy mode, you can control

solid bough
#

ohj i think i know why i never heard of it really : I think it's based from russia was it?

feral ferry
#

Really reminds me of Warzone 2100 on PS1 when it had the 3rd person controlled

feral ferry
#

Being from eastern europe I grew up with russian games

solid bough
#

👍

feral ferry
#

And a lot of them are actually great

solid bough
#

is it a brutally difficult game?

feral ferry
#

Parkan? Not at all

#

But it's unique

#

Nothing quite like it

solid bough
#

eastern europe can churn out solid games. STALKER was a bit janky built with duct tape but honestly thats added charm and is overall great in my eyes.

feral ferry
#

Eastern europe, sadly, as insane as it was back in 2000s, no longer produces great games, especially Russia

#

Man anybody remember Silent Storm? lul

solid bough
#

YES!

#

loved that game

#

I didn't play the sequel so much, yet ( got distracted by other things)

#

but i fucking loved the shit out of the original (unless I'm mixing the two up)

#

i couldn't believe they had those friggen power suits when they first came in, I went into the game blind.

#

but i was loving the tactical aspects fo the game and the solid terrain destruction.

trim rock
#

Oh yeah System Shock 2 that sure is a co-op experience

solid bough
#

if you loved that game, and the newer XCOMs, you should play the original xcom. Fan Patched. great game too.

feral ferry
#

And you are american

#

The only reason I know of these games is cause my father knew a bootleg CD dealer that would sell PC and Playstation CDs lul

#

So I would learn of games I have never even heard before

#

Hell the amount of good games that are hella obscure to this day is ridiculous

nimble current
#

terror from the deep was traumatizing

solid bough
#

or like. yeah sometimes you just run into them

#

Could barely play GMOD at low but by the gods it ran SS

#

and all those DOS games.

#

and everything in the early 2000s

#

also like, I think I originally played it from Gametap and they were like "yeah fuckit we need games we need everything good that we can license cheap, steam is putting us out of buisness"

#

and then much later when it came on steam : i still proudly have it in my library and bought it

#

also yeah am from USA

solid bough
bleak pike
#

Christ there are some assholes out there

#

A dev confirmed a class will never ever get an ability back from the original game due to design choice which is understandable and that dev got attacked

fringe salmon
#

seems to happen quite often with bungie, guess they sadly have some very vocal fans that are quite toxic

bleak pike
#

Aye

#

Oh don't get me wrong I get annoyed with bungie and their changes 🤣

#

But like

#

It's stupid and a waste of energy to attack anyone

#

I miss my orbs pepecry

severe compass
#

Gib orb bungo!

tough jay
#

I don't know if it is really about destiny 2 fans being more toxic or simply because bungie is not as good at handling the toxicity

bleak pike
#

You see it on bungie help and the forums

tough jay
#

I don't see it as the community being toxic here, the way they set it up is rather reddit like, and they keep completely unproductive this thing sucks posts open.
So it does not surprise me all.

bleak pike
#

Saying devs suck and need to be fired or death threats are pretty toxic

#

Hell I see people saying shit like they are a waste of breath

tough jay
fringe salmon
#

I think what he means is that they dont do a good job controlling it and thus is spirals into worse

tough jay
#

This pretty much

bleak pike
#

Ah

solid bough
#

honestly I don't recall any good reason that Bungie would need to have rotten tomatoes thrown at them.

#

Activision/Blizzard, on the otherhand 👀

#

now that deserves some scorn

severe compass
#

In every fandom that has ever existed there is a percentage that is toxic. It varies from fandom to fandom, but generally as something gets more popular the toxic segment gets harder to root out as they start reinforcing each other

solid bough
#

100% true

btw cute profile pic

Thank you, my friend made it for me as a joke when one of my other friends asked me to comment on a picture of a random banana to "Psychoanalyse me". They said they would show me the picture again in a month to Gaige my reaction, but I reacted immediately by getting my pal who can draw to make this

solid bough
#

BANANA!

banana dragon?

severe compass
#

Yes

solid bough
#

Nice

severe compass
#

Thank!

#

Another good example is Star Wars, I think most agree the sequels are terrible, and the prequels had potential but failed to live up to it. But the normal fan will at most write out a novel about what the films could have done instead, your toxic ones however will go after the actors, trying to bully them despite them not being involved in the writing.

solid bough
#

yeah its not the actors fault.

#

i think the primary issue was George Lucas had total dominating control of everything and simply wasn't challenged or told 'no' for certain things, unlike the original where those things happened.

#

else han solo would have been a robot

severe compass
#

George was good at world building, but his dialogue is... Well we know
Why on earth did he want Han Solo to be a robot?

solid bough
#

idunno it was the 70s lol

#

also I agree. his specialty was applying (real) special effects and building up lore and such. But like, story-wise? He needs, like, a co-writer or something.

severe compass
#

What astonishes me though, is that Disney somehow made something worse. Seeing how well they were handling Marvel's stuff I honestly though their sequel was going to be at least good. but seeing the sequels come out one by one was like watching someone jam their hand up the golden goose's cloaca searching for more eggs over the course of three movies.

solid bough
#

I do have to admit that, despite George Lucas fucking up the original and producing a (still enjoyable for the most part) prequel : Disney fucked it up way worse.

#

well to be fair, if you were gutting a goose-franchise like that, that's where you'd find more of the eggs but yeah Disney tried to use Alchemy to turn the cow into gold.

#

and failed, with rare exceptions

#

the only they did good was allow OTHER people to succeed better lol

#

Mandalorian and the anime collab, for instance.

severe compass
#

I think the problem was that everyone wanted to make the next Star Wars trilogy. Not because they liked star wars but because they wanted their name plastered on it and have it take a big spot in their list of achievements. Those two directors really did not give two shits about the backstory, world building or lore.

The other stuff succeeded because no one except fans wanted to have a go with it.

solid bough
#

I completely agree.

Like a christmas gift

bleak pike

So how many years do yo uthink itll be till Ark 2 is playable

feral ferry

I would be surprised if Wildcard learned how to properly make an optimized game

feral ferry

Until it's good? Prolly never

#

Or until mods fix the mess

bleak pike
#

After Atlas

feral ferry
#

There are some sick mods for Ark

bleak pike
#

i will never ever

#

trust that company

feral ferry
#

Why do you think they got the Family man

#

Vin Diesel

#

Get the bread from fans, have a subpar game, and just cash in

#

Release few DLCs later

#

ARK still has a fanbase, it's a fairly successful title

#

Man I sure hope the game is properly optimized for once

novel umbra
#

Man the last trailer was ROUGH

#

I hope this years will be as well, would be funny

nimble current
#

I really hope they plan on fleshing out the building side of v rising substancially

#

after playing valheim building things in v rising feels like going back a few decades, kinda reminds me of basebuilding in an old rts rather than piecing together something personal

orchid prism
#

Was Ark ever truly playable? I saw a video the other day and it looks just as unoptimized and low resolution as it was when you needed a 1080 to run it at 30fps way back before it turned a Dino sim into... Fantasy creature island.

#

Valheim - also a butt ugly game with terrible optimization havo

nimble current
#

I got over the lowres poly/textures rather quick, have grown to like it, looks very distinct

#

the lighting and shadows makes it rather dreamy too

small comet
#

on both sides

#

server hosting and client

wheat kraken
#

The building side of v rising is ok enough for me but the fucking movement speed is god awful. I'm supposed to be this ancient badass vampire eating people. Even in wolf mode you just feel so slow.

nimble current
#

to me v rising shines at the combat, the resource gathering/building/survival stuff almost feels like its there because that's the popular direction to go for open world/rpg type games these days

wheat kraken
#

You can get horses. Some bloods give you movement speed.

small comet
#

no i mean like perma passive upgrade

wheat kraken
#

Nfc

small comet
#

is it diablo slow?

#

or slower?

nimble current
#

its somewhere in between D1 and D2

#

imo

wheat kraken
#

I'm currently collecting the v blood carrier powers near the rough beginning of the game.

I'd say it's about there but I don't really remember Diablo speed

nimble current
#

diablo 1 was slow

#

in d2 you could at least sprint

small comet
#

d2 is also slow

#

ngl i hate games that make me feel slow moving for no reason except stretching gametime

trail dove
#

damn, only game of this style that I've played is poe and you can go super fast in that game if you want

small comet
#

especially as mentioned with the story of me being a vampire

wheat kraken
#

It'd be okay if the so called travel form was more 85% speed or something

small comet
#

no bat travel form?

#

wot

#

what is this

orchid prism
#

There is.

#

Sort of

nimble current
#

I kinda feel like that's why the survival aspect is there too dogekek had the game been made 20 years ago they'd probably just copy the diablo leveling and questline formulas

orchid prism
#

They put a lot of focus on the potential for PvP. Horses are very fast, but you get knocked off in a single hit, bat form is very fast but you can't see the ground clearly (i.e. players) and you can't carry anything of meaning.

wheat kraken
#

Hell I increased quite a few stats. Starved vamp or not, I want to feel like a badass. I don't want to speed a week knocking a tree down.

small comet
#

but vampires transform themselves into bats usually

wheat kraken
#

Default stats are disgustingly grind heavy if you play solo

small comet
#

how would carrying capacity change

nimble current
#

you can do the bat morph late game

#

I think the bat is slow too tho havo

wheat kraken
#

Now my resource gain is a little too high.

orchid prism
#

But yeah - Big focus on PvP tryharding. Which makes sense given they made Battlerite.
This is definitely something they need to re-balance for PvE and just improve on the experience as a whole.

nimble current
#

I've only played on a pve server so far

small comet
#

ngl i imagined vrising to be hellsing anime style vampires

orchid prism
small comet
#

right i forgot vrising is just rust with vampires

#

and without full 3d

#

am gonna download the camera mod

orchid prism
nimble current
#

tired of the fixed iso

small comet
#

never played either for pvp

#

only pve

#

altho i generally dont play pvp

nimble current
#

to me it feels like a diablo/valheim fusion

#

and maybe a bit of nox

wheat kraken
#

Camera mod? What's it supposed to do fully?

#

I don't mind the perspective but I want to occasionally look further ahead of me.

nimble current
#

you can get a classic over the shoulder camera and even first person

wheat kraken
#

Fuck yeah, I'm getting that as soon as I get home

#

I'm definitely getting that now.

small comet
#

that movement speed hurts in the video

nimble current
#

you're quite reliant on your horse for better or worse

wheat kraken
#

For longer distances I think I'd be okay with that

#

But for shorter ones, I want high speed.

#

Maybe double my blood requirement rate for double or more movement speed or some shit.

#

Plus now I want to move my base which is gonna be a bitch. I want to put myself near a gateway or something and I have so much shit to move.

nimble current
#

yeah I moved my place pretty early on so wasn't a huge project, used horse thru the teleporter one direction to go faster

Uhh

#

I will kindly disagree

#

Try playing the game with infinite carry weight

Literally kills the game

Inventory management is literally part of the charm

#

Pick your kit, pick what you carry, make decisions, make sacrifices

#

Grind for that specific thing that allows you to carry more

#

Get lucky and get an enchantment or an artifact that actually gives you extra carry weight

#

There are literal ways to eliminate inventory management or just give infinite currency in an RPG

And guess what? The game just becomes boring
