No way to remove the paint, hm?

north hamlet Aug 30, 2019, 2:54 AM

#

It depends on the paint, but I've used acetone to strip some before

serene tulip Aug 30, 2019, 2:54 AM

#

I tried scrubbing it with a toothbrush with some denatured alcohol

#

but no acetone

north hamlet Aug 30, 2019, 2:55 AM

#

Get some nail polish remover and let it soak for a few mins

serene tulip Aug 30, 2019, 2:55 AM

#

that's how I figured out that it was probably already primed because it was translucent blue under the gray 😛

#

now all the flat spots are clear blue, and the detailed parts are a lumpy gray

north hamlet Aug 30, 2019, 2:57 AM

#

I should try using a toothbrush to remove bad paintwork

#

That sounds like a good idea

wide ember Aug 30, 2019, 3:34 AM

#

so is there a way to tell if it's already primed next time, like if you burn it and it does this kind of thingÉ

serene tulip Aug 30, 2019, 4:10 AM

#

Yeah, better reading comprehension on my part https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/516763813790482464/616847192166105098/unknown.png

#

I want to play games

#

but I'm just so tired

wide ember Aug 30, 2019, 4:29 AM

#

lucid dream playing games

serene tulip Aug 30, 2019, 4:36 AM

#

I kinda had a lucid dream moment this morning

#

but like, I still had proprioception of my sleeping body

#

so it was really weird

#

like, the discontinuity between what I was doing in my dream and what I was feeling about where and what my body were doing was what made me realize it was a dream

#

also proprioception is a cool word

Finally moving into college

buoyant frigate Aug 30, 2019, 1:05 PM

#

Nice!

#

Does anyone know of good tabletop rpg’s (like DND) that are good for 2 players and one GM?

analog spear Aug 30, 2019, 1:07 PM

#

How good is the chemistry between the players

#

I don’t no any game made for 2 but if the players are good enough then standard rpgs will work, in my experience

buoyant frigate Aug 30, 2019, 1:11 PM

#

They’re very good together haha

#

That’s true, I could just scale back the challenges for them

analog spear Aug 30, 2019, 1:13 PM

#

You could also give them 2x hp, resources, and 2 turns each round

#

But that might be awkward

hexed hollow Aug 30, 2019, 1:14 PM

#

having more party npc's is another option too

analog spear Aug 30, 2019, 1:14 PM

#

Yes I tried a thing where in combat each person controls an npc

#

It was a bit wonky tho

hexed hollow Aug 30, 2019, 1:15 PM

#

I wasn't thinking player controlled npc's
moreso GM controlled

#

but that's more work on the GM side

analog spear Aug 30, 2019, 1:17 PM

#

I like to try to give players control over their entire team in combat

#

One idea is letting the players give general orders to the npcs while the gm decides the specifics

#

Something like “attack x” or “heal me”

#

Similar to the dragon quest auto battler

hasty kernel Aug 30, 2019, 2:19 PM

#

Id say FATE maybe

#

Its very customizable and free-flow, so you should be able to adjust it to any party size

@copper lark Are you going for the uber mount?

copper lark Aug 30, 2019, 6:38 PM

#

yee

#

grinding titan,,,, i dont think i can do it

#

someone please hold me titan keeps yeeting me

hasty kernel Aug 30, 2019, 6:50 PM

#

Unfortunately its a yeet or be yeeten world

#

Man how did we survive before "yeet" was invented

copper lark Aug 30, 2019, 6:57 PM

#

AHHHH ok

#

i figured out titan extreme maybe

supple sleet Aug 30, 2019, 6:59 PM

#

Yeah there's a tiny line where you don't get knocked off.

#

I hated Titan, but it sounds like you're having incredible luck. I've known people who were grinding EX for weeks.

copper lark Aug 30, 2019, 7:11 PM

#

ahh we gave up on the mount for now

#

onto ifrit now

#

might grind garuda alone for a bit to get the nightmare mount

#

oce if u wanna join me when i do that i forgot to @ u earlier when we did garuda >>

copper lark Aug 30, 2019, 7:54 PM

#

We are Not having luck with Ifrit.

hasty kernel Aug 30, 2019, 7:58 PM

#

I guess your hot streak ended

supple sleet Aug 30, 2019, 7:59 PM

#

iirc that one and Titan have the worst drop rates? Maybe? Or maybe it was Garuda? Or maybe I'm making that up. <.<

copper lark Aug 30, 2019, 7:59 PM

#

im so annoyed

#

i even tried using the emperors new clothes to appease him

#

its even worse

#

bc we're trying to get 2 of each

#

its only giving us like 1 piece of loot each time

#

so thjats probably why

#

HOW did nightmare appear before

#

NVM WE GOT NIGHTMARE AND AITHON,,,

hasty kernel Aug 30, 2019, 8:11 PM

#

Hm, Cyberpunk 2077 looks good, but it seems non-lethal playstyles are super limited as usual

#

Whole skilltree seems to only have "hacking" as something a nonlethal playstyle can use, and Im not even sure it wont have skills that are used for killing

serene tulip Aug 30, 2019, 8:15 PM

#

Dear UPS

Plz give me my package before 8:00 PM this time

I don't know how I'm always the last stop

hasty kernel Aug 30, 2019, 8:18 PM

#

Did you guys catch the CP2077 Deep Dive video?

hasty kernel Aug 30, 2019, 8:37 PM

#

I watched some

supple sleet Aug 30, 2019, 8:39 PM

#

I avoided the 44 minute trailer thing.

hasty kernel Aug 30, 2019, 8:42 PM

#

Only thing I really card about was the non-lethal options

#

And they look to be insanely limited

#

1 skill line in the whole skilltree that is at all useable as a nonlethal player

#

And even that skill line might have lethal skills

#

Also the boss they showed was extremely bulletspongy, which doesnt inspire confidence

copper lark Aug 30, 2019, 10:23 PM

#

5/6 horses!

supple sleet Aug 30, 2019, 10:26 PM

#

😮

#

I forget, do you lose the other horses when you get the big'n?

copper lark Aug 30, 2019, 10:27 PM

#

i hope not

#

if i do ill be real upset

#

we were lucky

#

got the ramuh horse first try

#

then we got 2 nightmare horses and the ifrit horse within two tries

#

obv ifrit took longer than that but we got the horses in 2 tries

#

we got the leviathan one in 2 tries

supple sleet Aug 30, 2019, 10:31 PM

#

😮

#

I wonder if they buffed the drop rates.

#

You're getting crazy levels of lucky.

copper lark Aug 30, 2019, 10:35 PM

#

i dont think they have

#

we're just mega lucky XD

#

my friend isnt collecting the mounts w me anymore, she just wanted nightmare

supple sleet Aug 30, 2019, 10:36 PM

#

Nice

copper lark Aug 30, 2019, 10:37 PM

#

ponies are a 15-20% drop rate

#

is that higher?

#

nightmare is 3-5%

supple sleet Aug 30, 2019, 10:38 PM

#

I think so? I know that when my old guildies did it, one horse took them literally over 100 tries. They were at it for like 2.5 hours, but that might have been nightmare.

copper lark Aug 30, 2019, 10:38 PM

#

oh lord

#

it took us ages for titan but thats bc we kept dying

supple sleet Aug 30, 2019, 10:39 PM

#

I think that session they never did get it. they gave up and came back to it later.

copper lark Aug 30, 2019, 10:39 PM

#

we're doing it unsynced at level 70 and level 80 though

supple sleet Aug 30, 2019, 10:39 PM

#

Titan EX is well known for being a pain in the rump.

copper lark Aug 30, 2019, 10:39 PM

#

like i showed up there a little garuda was taking us like 50 seconds

#

we also did unsynced binding coil but

#

the second coil stuff was too hard :/

#

we r rlly not having luck w titan huh

supple sleet Aug 30, 2019, 10:48 PM

#

Once you get the groove it's really not so bad.

copper lark Aug 30, 2019, 10:48 PM

#

its more the drop

#

i got the mechanics now

#

after 50 tries >:((((

supple sleet Aug 30, 2019, 10:48 PM

#

Well, if you spend 5x longer on Titan, you'll be about evened out xD

hasty kernel Aug 30, 2019, 10:56 PM

Im shocked, the Shawzin has been out for hours and noone has made Megalovania yet

tomato season harvest is great

#

I think I picked enough tomatoes for a week, but I'll eat it in two days

north hamlet Aug 30, 2019, 11:04 PM

#

What kind of tomato?

wide ember Aug 30, 2019, 11:04 PM

#

candy tomatoes

#

even smaller than cherry tomatoes

north hamlet Aug 30, 2019, 11:05 PM

#

That sounds pretty nice

wide ember Aug 30, 2019, 11:05 PM

#

they are super tiny, the size of a bracelet bead

supple sleet Aug 30, 2019, 11:05 PM

#

😮

north hamlet Aug 30, 2019, 11:05 PM

#

That also sounds super cute

supple sleet Aug 30, 2019, 11:06 PM

#

Would be good in the cucumber and feta salad I made last night

wide ember Aug 30, 2019, 11:06 PM

#

a cherry tomato is about four times bigger than it

#

I unfortunately only have cheddar and smoked cheddar, feta or mozzarella would be perfect

hasty kernel Aug 30, 2019, 11:07 PM

#

Looks like Yakuza 7 continues the tradition of RE7 of having the subtitle of the seventh game be the translation of the japanese name

supple sleet Aug 30, 2019, 11:07 PM

#

yeah smoked cheddar would definitely overwhelm. Maybe shred the cheddar and then chop it a bit to make it small pieces.

#

Oh really Uno?

hasty kernel Aug 30, 2019, 11:08 PM

#

And its ... turn-based?

wide ember Aug 30, 2019, 11:08 PM

#

I'll just eat them like candies

hasty kernel Aug 30, 2019, 11:08 PM

#

Yeah, its called "Yakuza: Like a Dragon"

wide ember Aug 30, 2019, 11:08 PM

#

wait, turn based?

hasty kernel Aug 30, 2019, 11:08 PM

#

But apparently the april fools was real

Its a turn-based RPG apparently

Yeah, not sure how I feel about that, but I'm not near the fan of the game as Ragachak

hasty kernel Aug 30, 2019, 11:09 PM

#

Im just confused

wide ember Aug 30, 2019, 11:09 PM

#

I think "uncomfortable" is a possibly term describing my feeling towards

hasty kernel Aug 30, 2019, 11:09 PM

#

The combat is like one of Yakuzas defining features

#

The fact that its ludicrously over the top action with dropkicks

wide ember Aug 30, 2019, 11:09 PM

#

if your game is called Like a Dragon we expect it to be action??

hasty kernel Aug 30, 2019, 11:10 PM

#

Its like, clearly so important

#

Why take that away

supple sleet Aug 30, 2019, 11:10 PM

#

If your game is called "Yakuza" we expect it to be action.

hasty kernel Aug 30, 2019, 11:10 PM

#

I also cant say that the graphics match with the turn-based combat

wide ember Aug 30, 2019, 11:10 PM

#

yeah the lemon shove and the drunk lamppost dancing kick are important

supple sleet Aug 30, 2019, 11:10 PM

#

Yeah, it's a weird turn.

wide ember Aug 30, 2019, 11:11 PM

#

that lady with a handbag is ready to fight a thug somehow?

#

she's level 46 even

hasty kernel Aug 30, 2019, 11:11 PM

#

It also means the new main character is gonna go through a rough start

wide ember Aug 30, 2019, 11:12 PM

#

I don't know, this feels more like a shin megami tensei spin off than yakuza spin off

hasty kernel Aug 30, 2019, 11:12 PM

#

I mean the UI does have that kinda vibe

#

That does explain the repeated dragon quest namedrops in the trailer tbh

wide ember Aug 30, 2019, 11:14 PM

#

no it does not, maybe, I mean it is called like a dragon

#

I'm so confused

hasty kernel Aug 30, 2019, 11:14 PM

#

Its a turn-based RPG like Dragon Quest

#

In fact you could call the game "Yakuza: Like a Dragon .... Quest"

wide ember Aug 30, 2019, 11:15 PM

#

there is a live action movie, maybe it'll clear some confusions

hasty kernel Aug 30, 2019, 11:16 PM

#

Anyway, whats next, Phoenix Wright but its an FPS?

#

Though to be honest, the idea of Maya with a gun is rather amusing

north hamlet Aug 30, 2019, 11:16 PM

#

What you aim isn't the gun, but your finger at the culprit

hasty kernel Aug 30, 2019, 11:17 PM

#

Finger-guns

#

Though I wouldnt mind a Yakuza-like game set in the Ace Attorney universe

#

There is precedent for Phoenix Wright kicking butt

copper lark Aug 30, 2019, 11:34 PM

we just got the worst healer in sastasha

(Humorously, I got SGG to send us a review copy for Hades, and my boss was all "Yoink, mine.")

Haha Ichoren. It really is an amazing game, and is truly getting better as time goes on.

It's like the reverse WoW

Yea but subscriptions hiss

#

I might get the trial over break

supple sleet Aug 31, 2019, 1:39 AM

#

Mmmm, fair I guess. But if any game is worth it, it's FFXIV, considering how much free content they add between major expacs.

#

The trial is the way to go though.

It scares me when I consider the long term cost if I get really into it

How much do you spend a month on games, generally?

@wide ember how much have you spent on games outside of FFXIV since you started playing it?

And they even created a different service that automatically restarts the update service that you also cant disable

Any of you guys know your way around hardware computer stuffs?

#

My GPU cooling fans do nothing while playing(recording games.

forest narwhal Aug 31, 2019, 1:49 PM

#

Modern GPUs turn off fans, when it's not needed to use them

#

If you have low temperatures on GPU, it's normal

#

Otherwise there could be problem with configs, fans, power line, fan controler, cables

#

.. thank u?

rapid hatch Aug 31, 2019, 2:02 PM

#

@forest narwhal I had my computer open and checked the temperatur as I was playing and recording Hades.

#

It was almost too hot to touch with no fans running.

#

When I start the computer or turn it off, it spins very shortly

forest narwhal Aug 31, 2019, 2:07 PM

#

Ok, check temperature on GPU durning playing with I.E. HW Monitor

#

But Hades itself shouldn't load GPU significantly

#

What GPU It's?

#

@rapid hatch

rapid hatch Aug 31, 2019, 2:11 PM

#

GeForce RTX 2070

forest narwhal Aug 31, 2019, 2:11 PM

#

So it is kinda bored

#

And probably use less than 10% of it's power

#

So just check, GPUs temp don't exceed like 60-70 degrees

#

Or check, does under bigger load (like modern AAA game) fans starts spinning

rapid hatch Aug 31, 2019, 2:13 PM

#

I don't think I got any big Triple A games on my computer for the most part.

#

I will keep it in mind.

supple sleet Aug 31, 2019, 6:52 PM

#

I'm running a 2080 and my PC is mostly idle right now, but the fans are spinning away fine.

#

how old is the card?

#

and who is the manufacturer?

#

@rapid hatch

rapid hatch Aug 31, 2019, 6:54 PM

#

It's an Nvidia card. The computer I bought like....1 or 2 months ago?

#

2 monthsish

supple sleet Aug 31, 2019, 6:54 PM

#

So NVIDIA actually manufactured? It's not like EGA or some other brand?

rapid hatch Aug 31, 2019, 6:55 PM

#

Before I answer that question, let me repeat that I don't understand a thing about these things.

#

"there are other Nvidia card manufacturers than Nvidia?"

supple sleet Aug 31, 2019, 6:55 PM

#

So, NVIDIA is the patent holder, but they license production out.

rapid hatch Aug 31, 2019, 6:55 PM

#

I see.

#

The computer was pre-build, so I can't give you an exact history on the parts sadly.

supple sleet Aug 31, 2019, 6:56 PM

#

ASUS, MSI, Gigabyte, Zotac, EVGA, these are all manufacturers.

#

That's fine, that should mean it's under warranty, yes?

rapid hatch Aug 31, 2019, 6:56 PM

#

It is, yes.

#

The computer says Hyrican when I turn it on, does that help?

supple sleet Aug 31, 2019, 6:58 PM

#

It does, somewhat.

#

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/617432977856790533/617432996781359106/unknown.png

#

So this is a common issue with those manufacterers.

#

Enough so that google predictive text saw the question coming

#

Did you buy it online or in a store?

rapid hatch Aug 31, 2019, 7:00 PM

#

In a store

supple sleet Aug 31, 2019, 7:01 PM

#

I'd take it in and explain the problem.

rapid hatch Aug 31, 2019, 7:01 PM

#

Hmm. Okay.

supple sleet Aug 31, 2019, 7:01 PM

#

Like I said, it should be under warranty if you only got it 2 months ago.

rapid hatch Aug 31, 2019, 7:01 PM

#

Yes, it is. Thanks for helping me out

supple sleet Aug 31, 2019, 7:02 PM

#

And if it is running hot, it could cause long term wear and tear on your entire system that could cost you major money.

#

👍

hasty kernel Aug 31, 2019, 7:06 PM

#

It could be worth swapping out the fan for a different type, if its possible

#

Usually pre-built computers have pretty shoddy fans

supple sleet Aug 31, 2019, 7:08 PM

#

And video cards are -amazingly- easy to replace, so don't feel intimidated if that's what it comes to. Just follow directions in the manual or find a YT how-to.

rapid hatch Aug 31, 2019, 7:10 PM

wide ember Aug 31, 2019, 9:51 PM

#

I have yet to see even one rpg, mmo or else, include a flatbow, so I am putting flatbow in most of my creative projects

#

casing flying out of guns is just particles but string needs its own animation/physics so bow string is harder

Whats a flatbow?

supple sleet Aug 31, 2019, 10:06 PM

#

Just a bow that doesn't have recurve

wide ember Aug 31, 2019, 10:07 PM

#

it's a bow that stays flat when in rest, only curves when pulled

supple sleet Aug 31, 2019, 10:07 PM

#

It's the most basic and original of bows, using a long mostly flat stave

wide ember Aug 31, 2019, 10:07 PM

#

the stays flat version is even rarer now

hasty kernel Aug 31, 2019, 10:08 PM

#

Huh

supple sleet Aug 31, 2019, 10:08 PM

#

Yeah, virtually non existent. They're not really aesthetically pleasing most of the time, I think. Though they would generally be easier to travel with, as they could be readily secured to a pack.

#

Quicker/easier to string, too.

hasty kernel Aug 31, 2019, 10:09 PM

#

So if not in use, its just a long plank?

supple sleet Aug 31, 2019, 10:09 PM

more or less. Might have a grip carved near the center.

wide ember Aug 31, 2019, 10:09 PM

supple sleet Aug 31, 2019, 10:11 PM

#

That one's strung though

#

The lack of flatness could just be the tension of the string.

wide ember Aug 31, 2019, 10:11 PM

#

true, but it is at rest-ish

#

we need to pull that string off

supple sleet Aug 31, 2019, 10:12 PM

#

I think generally, there's always going to need to be SOME curve to the bow when at rest, or the string would slip off.

#

Or at least out of place.

hasty kernel Aug 31, 2019, 10:13 PM

#

So, ironically the closest GW2 has to a flatbow, is a bow called the "Zenith Recurve Bow"

#

https://i1.wp.com/gw2.mmo-fashion.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2015/05/gw2-zenith-recurve-bow-4.jpg

Then again, the game has something called a flatbow that definitely isnt one if Im getting it right

Yeah, that second one is absolutely a recurve bow.

wide ember Aug 31, 2019, 10:14 PM

#

bladed recurve bow

hasty kernel Aug 31, 2019, 10:15 PM

#

There are a couple that are kinda like the not totally flat flatbow

#

Although, is this a flatbow or a recurve bow

wide ember Aug 31, 2019, 10:15 PM

longbow

hasty kernel Aug 31, 2019, 10:16 PM

#

Isnt it a secondary distinction?

wide ember Aug 31, 2019, 10:16 PM

#

the bow has curves near the hold, it's visibly not string tension

#

longbow and flatbow don't have the same origin

hasty kernel Aug 31, 2019, 10:17 PM

#

I see, makes sense

wide ember Aug 31, 2019, 10:17 PM

#

longbow is usually descended from British Isles I think?

#

if my memory serves, longbow was designed for war, while flatbow was designed for hunting

supple sleet Aug 31, 2019, 10:18 PM

#

I believe Wales for longbow, tbh.

wide ember Aug 31, 2019, 10:18 PM

#

longbow is very high penetration, to pierce armours

#

Aye. No accuracy needed, they'd rain arrows.

wide ember Aug 31, 2019, 10:18 PM

#

flatbow was ease of travel with and something else that I can't remember

hasty kernel Aug 31, 2019, 10:18 PM

#

This is probably the flattest bow in the game

#

Ah

supple sleet Aug 31, 2019, 10:19 PM

#

flatbow would have been designed for short accurate straight flights.

hasty kernel Aug 31, 2019, 10:19 PM

#

Yeah I have no knowledge about bows, always been more of a melee guy

supple sleet Aug 31, 2019, 10:19 PM

#

That's what you need/want from hunting bows.

hasty kernel Aug 31, 2019, 10:19 PM

#

And air-firearms

#

And gunblades

#

Gunblades actually existed, in a way

supple sleet Aug 31, 2019, 10:19 PM

#

The gunblade class in FFXIV is stronk

hasty kernel Aug 31, 2019, 10:19 PM

#

And they were as stupid as you imagine

#

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/07/Elgin_cutlass_pistol.jpg

This is a real weapon someone used

#

Unsurprisingly, made by the US

wide ember Aug 31, 2019, 10:21 PM

#

I feel my IQ dropping looking at that picture for some reason

#

what the heck is that it's like some SCP

hasty kernel Aug 31, 2019, 10:23 PM

#

Its a gunblade

supple sleet Aug 31, 2019, 10:23 PM

#

it looks detachable, like a bayonette.

hasty kernel Aug 31, 2019, 10:23 PM

#

Its not

#

Or rather, I cant say about that specific model

#

But the standard Eglin Cutlass Pistol was not detachable

copper lark Aug 31, 2019, 10:24 PM

#

gunbreaker strong

#

but scarily squishy

supple sleet Aug 31, 2019, 10:24 PM

#

Really? My boss loves tanking as GB.

copper lark Aug 31, 2019, 10:24 PM

#

healing them is scary because they have superbolide

hasty kernel Aug 31, 2019, 10:24 PM

#

Looked it up, that model isnt detachable either

copper lark Aug 31, 2019, 10:25 PM

#

i mean! its fun

#

but

#

i think its squishy bc they have alot of support abilities

hasty kernel Aug 31, 2019, 10:25 PM

#

This one is actually more practical than the usual version of pistolswords

#

Which was just a sabre with a pistol awkwardly welded to the side of the blade

#

As for how you were supposed to aim it, and how it was supposed to not destroy the structural integrity of the sword, no idea

copper lark Aug 31, 2019, 10:26 PM

#

perish

#

i like gunbreaker solely bc it reminds me of the red queen from dmc4

#

like. i can imagine those gunblades revving up

hasty kernel Aug 31, 2019, 10:30 PM

#

Yknow whats a ridiculous weapon I wish more MMOs had?

#

Chain-sickles

#

Or the Meteor Hammer

wide ember Aug 31, 2019, 10:33 PM

#

I don't know about meteor hammer but chain-sickles is something

#

looks cool in fiction but in real life is just asking to hurt yourself

hasty kernel Aug 31, 2019, 10:33 PM

#

Meteorhammer is also a chain-based weapon

#

2 steel balls connected via chain

#

Used in some martial arts apparently, though its mostly just showing off

#

Oh real chainsickles exist, but theyre a bit different

wide ember Aug 31, 2019, 10:34 PM

#

normal whips already have weight on the tips to I could see meteor hammer as overdoing the weight

hasty kernel Aug 31, 2019, 10:34 PM

#

See, swing a sickle around on a chain makes no sense

#

Theyre cutting weapons, not piercing weapons

#

Best case scenario they ricochet off and do minor damage, worst case scenario they break

#

The real thing is just one sickle connected to a weight on a chain

#

You slice with the sickle, and use the chainweight to entangle the enemy or their weapon

#

Strangle them

#

Or just clobber them as if it was a flail

supple sleet Aug 31, 2019, 10:36 PM

#

They were originally used to thresh wheat.

hasty kernel Aug 31, 2019, 10:36 PM

#

Sickles you mean?

supple sleet Aug 31, 2019, 10:36 PM

#

chain sickles, even.

hasty kernel Aug 31, 2019, 10:36 PM

#

I dont ... think so?

#

The chain isnt very good for threshing wheat

supple sleet Aug 31, 2019, 10:37 PM

#

They allowed for a huge arc, almost like a western scythe.

hasty kernel Aug 31, 2019, 10:37 PM

#

Unfortunately no

supple sleet Aug 31, 2019, 10:37 PM

#

lol okay

hasty kernel Aug 31, 2019, 10:38 PM

#

The cutting area didnt increase for one

#

But moreso than that, sickles fly poorly

#

Also wait, arent we talking about reaping here

wide ember Aug 31, 2019, 10:40 PM

#

don't be specist (kingdomcist?), wheat and human have the same soul and life in value

hasty kernel Aug 31, 2019, 10:41 PM

#

Uh, I dont get it

#

But yeah, the regular kamas were used for harvesting, which made it a good tool for ninjas, who predominantly disguised themselves as peasants

#

Weapons that arent suspicious always had that edge

#

Pun entirely intended

wide ember Aug 31, 2019, 10:42 PM

#

that is straight up assassination though

hasty kernel Aug 31, 2019, 10:42 PM

#

Well yeah

#

Ninjas were also assassins

#

It wasnt actually their main role

#

Far from it

#

But sometimes it was their role

#

Really, real ninjas were rather mundane and boring

wide ember Aug 31, 2019, 10:43 PM

#

are assassinations technically part of war or is it apart

hasty kernel Aug 31, 2019, 10:43 PM

#

Both, I think?

#

If you mean "is there a specific term for assassinations in war", as far as I know there is not

supple sleet Aug 31, 2019, 10:45 PM

#

There was no place for assassination in Bushido. It would have been considered highly dishonorable.

wide ember Aug 31, 2019, 10:45 PM

#

who actually follows bushido though

hasty kernel Aug 31, 2019, 10:46 PM

#

Samurai

wide ember Aug 31, 2019, 10:46 PM

#

you can get away with it if nobody knows that you were the one who hired that ninja

hasty kernel Aug 31, 2019, 10:46 PM

#

Sometimes soldiers

supple sleet Aug 31, 2019, 10:46 PM

#

Bushido literally means "Way of they that practice war"

hasty kernel Aug 31, 2019, 10:46 PM

#

Ninjas never followed Bushido

wide ember Aug 31, 2019, 10:47 PM

#

ninjas were mercenaries, somebody hired them to do most of the killings

hasty kernel Aug 31, 2019, 10:47 PM

#

Mercenaries and spies, yup

supple sleet Aug 31, 2019, 10:47 PM

#

So it wouldn't have been considered a part of "war" by the people of the time. Probably it'd be considered more politics.

wide ember Aug 31, 2019, 10:47 PM

#

so if a samurai hires a ninja and doesn't dirty his own hands, he keeps the honour, doesn't he?

hasty kernel Aug 31, 2019, 10:48 PM

#

Interestingly, there have actually been instances of samurai hiring Ninjas to do the work they themselves cant do

#

Well, whether or not thats how its interpreted, I dont know

#

But fact is that some Samurai did do that

#

And they were actually part of war, their primary role was espionage and sabotage after all

#

Theyre even explicitely mentioned in some military strategist ... uh

#

Guides?

wide ember Aug 31, 2019, 10:49 PM

#

they were also bodyguards

hasty kernel Aug 31, 2019, 10:49 PM

#

What would you call it

wide ember Aug 31, 2019, 10:49 PM

#

escort?

#

as in escort mission, taking a person from point A to B

hasty kernel Aug 31, 2019, 10:49 PM

#

Guides doesnt seem right

#

No I mean, like, books on strategy

wide ember Aug 31, 2019, 10:50 PM

#

tactician?

hasty kernel Aug 31, 2019, 10:50 PM

#

Guides makes it seem more mundane, I think there is a specific word for it

#

I just dont know what that word is

wide ember Aug 31, 2019, 10:50 PM

#

war tactician or strategist

hasty kernel Aug 31, 2019, 10:50 PM

#

No I meant the books on strategy, not the strategists

wide ember Aug 31, 2019, 10:50 PM

#

or strategem, the book about war strategies

#

oh

hasty kernel Aug 31, 2019, 10:50 PM

#

Yes thank you

#

Stratagem

#

Or books on stratagems, whichever

supple sleet Aug 31, 2019, 10:51 PM

#

Books about war strategies? Like Sun Tzu? <.< I'm only seeing half this conversation which makes it difficult. I'll just go back to gaming.

hasty kernel Aug 31, 2019, 10:52 PM

#

But yeah, real ninjas were pretty boring for the most part

wide ember Aug 31, 2019, 10:52 PM

#

I wonder what makes a text based platform like discord have message lags

hasty kernel Aug 31, 2019, 10:52 PM

#

He means that he has blocked me for ... some reason?

#

He didnt like me correcting him on the Kusarigama thing, but Im not sure why

#

Oh and to ruin one of the cool aspects of Ninjas

#

They didnt use Shurikens a lot, and the ones they did were basically just iron darts

wide ember Aug 31, 2019, 10:53 PM

#

...so naruto was actually correct on that aspect

#

along with the naruto run

hasty kernel Aug 31, 2019, 10:54 PM

#

Oh those were Kunai

#

Theyre the japanese multi-purpose tool

#

Mostly for gardening and masonry, if you can believe it

#

Same idea as the Kama

#

Tool that is inconspicuous that you can use as a weapon

#

Real ones had a little bit of an indentation, to be used as a spade

wide ember Aug 31, 2019, 10:58 PM

#

I see

#

the opposite of the japanese great sword

#

so there is any cooking tool used as assassination weapon?

#

so far it's all masonry and farming

hasty kernel Aug 31, 2019, 11:00 PM

#

I mean

#

A knife?

wide ember Aug 31, 2019, 11:01 PM

#

well yes but knives for cooking and stabbing are usually not the same?

hasty kernel Aug 31, 2019, 11:01 PM

#

You can use cooking knives for stabbing

#

And back then I dont think there was much of a difference

#

I guess there were daggers

wide ember Aug 31, 2019, 11:02 PM

#

I almost only use chinese cleaver, santoku and tiny fruit peeler knife and all three have reduced stabbing effect so you don't stab your own foot out if you drop it

#

I'll look up ancient cooking knives

hasty kernel Aug 31, 2019, 11:02 PM

I see

I mean, I dont know cooking utensils very well

supple sleet Aug 31, 2019, 11:10 PM

2K added them in to people's previously purchased game halfway through the year.

dark age of AAA games and renaissance of indie games, like how medieval times were the dark age for europe and golden age for the orient?

Ok to be fair, if Cyberpunk comes out the way it looks, it should be a legitimately good game

#

Im not fully convinced yet, and disappointed at the limited non-lethal options, but it does look promising

#

Overall I guess AAA games are down

#

All the big good studios either came crashing down or lost key developers

velvet fjord Aug 31, 2019, 11:14 PM

yeah I'm hyped for it
I just get tired of the constant circlehandholding for the company

I think the last AAA game I bought was xcom 2

hexed hollow Aug 31, 2019, 11:15 PM

the game ain't out yet, so exactly what options for both non-lethal and lethal can't really be extrapolated from what's been shown

Well

#

They did show the skill tree

supple sleet Aug 31, 2019, 11:15 PM

I think the issue is that the bar has been cut so low, Dr. P, that Cyberpunk shines above the rest merely by contrast.

hasty kernel Aug 31, 2019, 11:15 PM

It had 4 non-weapon related options

Of which 2 were specifically about killing

supple sleet Aug 31, 2019, 11:15 PM

@hexed hollow They just released a 14 minute deep dive video yesterday

Im surprised we had so (relatively) little Cyberpunk stealth or action

#

It seems to always gravitate towards turn-based

#

Though I guess were getting Astral Chain

#

Which is kinda cyberpunk

supple sleet Aug 31, 2019, 11:20 PM

#

And yes, Jordan Weisman was an original designer/writer/creator for Shadowrun

velvet fjord Aug 31, 2019, 11:20 PM

#

way I see it is that it's very hard to make a cyberpunk stealth game without being called deus ex

#

same way that everything is a "soulslike" now

hasty kernel Aug 31, 2019, 11:21 PM

#

I mean technically its hard to make a historic stealth game without being called Assassins Creed but that didnt stop people

#

But I guess Cyberpunk is more niche in general

#

Now I still wonder if WotC are gonna come out with a cashgrab Netrunner card game to cash in on CP2077

#

They gotta have revoked the license for something

velvet fjord Aug 31, 2019, 11:32 PM

ngl I'd buy a netrunner video game
I love the card game

hasty kernel Aug 31, 2019, 11:39 PM

I mean it still is but it's hard to find players now

#

I wonder though, what kind of game would you want it to be?

velvet fjord Aug 31, 2019, 11:41 PM

#

either a straight adaptation of the card game a la MTG Arena or maybe, wild idea, a slay the spire-esque roguelike?

A runner starting from scratch, picking up daemons and discarded gear along the way

#

Could work

#

You would lose the asymmetry a little though, because it's hard to make the corp side work

velvet fjord Aug 31, 2019, 11:44 PM

#

yeah

hasty kernel Aug 31, 2019, 11:45 PM

#

Actually, I guess you could have the corpside be the reverse, continuous fights in which you weaken the runner leading up to a final showdown

supple sleet Aug 31, 2019, 11:45 PM

#

We are seeing a lot of StS clones out there though, and I aint even mad about it. One of my favorites is for mobile, came to Steam later, Night of the Full Moon

velvet fjord Aug 31, 2019, 11:46 PM

#

StS clones seem to be all the rage

I'm still kinda miffed that Griftlands became one

hasty kernel Aug 31, 2019, 11:46 PM

#

Tried phantom rose, currently too flawed

#

Looking forward to one step from Eden though

#

StS with battle network gameplay

#

What was Griftlands again?

velvet fjord Aug 31, 2019, 11:50 PM

#

Griftlands is Klei's new thing, egs only though

it was going to be a strategy game where you can talk people down rather than fight them, sorta like Renowned Explorers, but now it's turned into a StS roguelike thing

hasty kernel Aug 31, 2019, 11:50 PM

#

Ah that one

#

It looked like it still had that conversation gameplay, was that changed?

velvet fjord Aug 31, 2019, 11:53 PM

#

I think it still has that

somber ferry Aug 31, 2019, 11:55 PM

#

i’ve been considering picking it up for a while. looks really interesting. love the character designs and art style too!

#

i’ve never played sts or any other game like it though so i have no idea if i’d actually like it, but i was definitely intrigued

velvet fjord Sep 1, 2019, 12:00 AM

#

I am a fan of the art style

hasty kernel Sep 1, 2019, 12:00 AM

#

Klei certainly has a distinct artstyle

velvet fjord Sep 1, 2019, 12:00 AM

#

klei never skimps on their art

hasty kernel Sep 1, 2019, 12:00 AM

#

Loved it since Mark of the Ninja

#

Also, you could try it and refund it if you find you dont enjoy the gameplay

#

At least I think that's an option

velvet fjord Sep 1, 2019, 12:02 AM

#

does egs have refunds?

hasty kernel Sep 1, 2019, 12:04 AM

#

Yes, I believe so

#

14 days of purchase, less than 2 hours of play

#

Same deal as steam, basically

supple sleet Sep 1, 2019, 12:16 AM

#

In my Indie vs AAA studio article, Klei and Supergiant are the two I specifically reference as proof that Indie is too broad a category, considering some of the games that are on Steam. Basically I refer to those as shovelware anymore.

velvet fjord Sep 1, 2019, 12:23 AM

#

problem is that we don't really have a term for anything that falls between the two categories

hasty kernel Sep 1, 2019, 12:25 AM

#

I guess you could call studios like SGG "Indie-A" studios, but that sounds silly

#

But yeah, Indie is a spectrum at this point

supple sleet Sep 1, 2019, 12:25 AM

#

There's been some movement to call things AA or Triple-I

hasty kernel Sep 1, 2019, 12:26 AM

#

But getting people to split up the spectrum and use new terms is hard

supple sleet Sep 1, 2019, 12:26 AM

#

And the other half of the problem is that the gap between the two categories tends to be pretty expansive.

hasty kernel Sep 1, 2019, 12:26 AM

#

I'd also question if it's really neccessary

#

AAA also is a spectrum, and those terms have both been mostly useless

#

They can at best tell you the funding

#

Or perhaps the scale

wide ember Sep 1, 2019, 2:51 AM

#

scale makes more sense

sharp grail Sep 1, 2019, 4:46 AM

#

@faint panther have you played nier automata? it has an incredible OST

faint panther Sep 1, 2019, 4:46 AM

#

No. Thoguh my friend highly recommended it. I should one day.

serene glacier Sep 1, 2019, 4:46 AM

#

yeah i should too

sharp grail Sep 1, 2019, 4:47 AM

#

are you alright with "music spoilers?" ill give you one of my favorite tracks

faint panther Sep 1, 2019, 4:47 AM

#

Anyways, what I was talking about. It's like.. the way the powerful bass-noiise kicks in whenever Oralech speaks in Pyre and it susually just the strings during narration in his scenes. Wish more games did little genius things like that.
Also yeah go ahead shoot.

serene glacier Sep 1, 2019, 4:47 AM

#

yeah dynamic soundtrack is great

#

portal 2 did it too

faint panther Sep 1, 2019, 4:48 AM

#

Thats the word. Dynamic.

serene glacier Sep 1, 2019, 4:48 AM

#

whenever you go on gels or over bridges it adds a specific motif/element to the track

#

and then valve stopped making singleplayer games so they haven't really used that tech since

#

rip

velvet fjord Sep 1, 2019, 4:48 AM

#

and that printer malfunction on the faith plates

faint panther Sep 1, 2019, 4:48 AM

#

What a shame. Only other game I've played that really comes close to it is Furi with the way songs are matched with Boss Phases and the Narration.

serene glacier Sep 1, 2019, 4:48 AM

#

printer malfunction mixed with a posessed hard drive

velvet fjord Sep 1, 2019, 4:49 AM

#

turns out that song was actually the sound of them deleting the source engine

serene glacier Sep 1, 2019, 4:49 AM

#

of course The Friendly Faith Plate is basically straight up industrial

supple sleet Sep 1, 2019, 9:04 AM

Yeah I was eyeballing that too. <.< But since I ended up dropping 85 dollars on the game today, decided against it. Turns out you can't buy game time from the mog shop if your account is steam linked

#

So I spent 30 bucks trying to get the gametime+phial of fantasia deal

#

Got the phial. Can't cash in the game time. Can't get a return because I cashed in the phial.

#

Not. Amused.

ionic viper Sep 1, 2019, 9:50 AM

#

oh, yeah, that. i specifically got the game on steam to make it easier for me to buy game time :V

supple sleet Sep 1, 2019, 10:02 AM

#

I don't get it, you can do anything else with codes, like items and stuff, but they won't let you do game time.

Or do you even play FFXIV? <.< soz.

hasty kernel Sep 1, 2019, 10:53 AM

#

I wonder, how did "soz" come to be

#

Usually with internet slang there is some logic behind it, like "gratz" just being congratulations shortened to congratz, then the con gets dropped

#

But Im not sure how you go from sorry to soz

Sorry
Sorries

hexed hollow Sep 1, 2019, 11:02 AM

yes, but we don't refer to ourselves as that most the time, it's either 'Straya or Aussie depending on context

or Oz, that one does happen

Good old Civ V

#

My problem with Civ V is that the early phases of the game are the most fun?

#

Exploring the map, founding cities, nabbing resources, developing tiles with your workers, meeting other civs.

#

The late game slog to achieve a victory just isn't as amusing for me... 😅

hasty kernel Sep 1, 2019, 2:16 PM

#

Yeah I can actually agree with that

north hamlet Sep 1, 2019, 2:17 PM

#

Yeah, later in the game it's also harder to turn the game around

hasty kernel Sep 1, 2019, 2:17 PM

#

But it isnt really possible to make a game of just that phase, I guess

#

My issue is that lategame if youre not going for a military win condition there isnt that much "gameplay" I guess

#

And fights in civ 5 arent terribly interesting later on?

north hamlet Sep 1, 2019, 2:22 PM

#

They're only kinda interesting when you mess with the settings and go all in on them

hasty kernel Sep 1, 2019, 2:23 PM

north hamlet Sep 1, 2019, 2:23 PM

But early game is still better

hasty kernel Sep 1, 2019, 2:23 PM

The big issue is that there often isnt enough space to do like, outmanouvering and other such strategies
