Barudak posted:The game introduces teleport stones and connected dungeons and then goes "oh yeah, uh all the stones are in the first ring so if you want to do any dungeon after the first few walk your self back". A late dungeon is multiple dungeons away from the teleport stone and the gimmick is all abilities including passives are disabled. For many character types this turns them into dead weight (literal guide recommendations are "give them a shield and select defend every turn). The dungeon then becomes a slog of just mashing auto and, again, losing any party member is basically a full reset walk all the way back and since none of your abilities like passive aggro don't work just gotta hope! yesss thank you. I love it

RazzleDazzleHour posted:Before this game studios had their own problems, in that it was exactly the same except the slave labor was just an explicit part of the job before they had to start pretending they didn't grind people into dust. This is actually where all labor is moving towards in all fields unless government protection kicks in Gig economy stuff accelerated it sure but 0 hour contracts in the UK, at will employment in most of the US and other countries learning from it mean you’ll eventually end up with this model just across different periods of time Maybe I have projects and fire you when the project is over, like game dev or construction. Maybe I pay you hourly and take out hours when business dips a bit.

Anyone here have recommendations for a budget (like, not a super-premium crazy OLED) 4K TV? I think it's finally time I make the leap to The Fourth K but I'm also not about to drop $1500 on a TV.

I think it's finally time I make the leap to The Fourth K but I'm also not about to drop $1500 on a TV. I have a 4k Samsung that I bought like 4 years ago and it definitely was nowhere near $1500. 4K TVs (on sale) are not that expensive these days.

The Black Stones posted:Dark Alliance looks like poo poo but that’s because I was hoping (more like dreaming) they would actually make something like the old Dark Alliance games and have it be a hack and slasher but it just looked like a faster action souls type game. No thanks. I'm confused, isn't hack n slasher just a shallower "fast dark souls?" It looks like you can just mash your attack buttons at the enemies... what is missing from the hack n slash element?

I took a banana peel out of my room trash this morning because of that thoughtful proverb bananas are one of the best fruit because you can chew it with just your throat. even when the banana starts to get yellow and nasty you can choke it down so fast your body wont have time to gag it up

Khanstant posted:Ppl act like a TV can't be your monitor but don't console gamers been using TV as monitor for decades?? There's a number of reasons why they're not ideal monitors even if you can deal with the size, like having to babysit when they power on and off because (afaik) most GPUs don't support HDMI CEC (I think that's the relevant feature).

I've used TVs as monitors before with success, but on a couple of them I had to explicitly label the HDMI input as "PC" instead of "HDMI1" within the firmware to get it to disable all the smoothing and interpolation poo poo that TVs normally do. As far as babysitting the power, I've never had a TV or monitor that I didn't manually turn on or off. I don't really know why I would want that, since my TV is a conduit to a bunch of different devices, plus the internal apps like Netflix, so I don't know how it would know when I want it off or not. (edit: unless you mean the other way around, but I still don't have my PC control my monitors since I use both inputs to swap between my home PC and work laptop).

Magical Melody: I got 50 notes and freed the Harvest Goddess!  There's still 50 more notes to get so I'm gonna keep playing for a bit longer and see how many more I can get before it becomes too much of a chore. I have Lego Indiana Jones up next on my list so I can't get too stuck here!

Last Celebration posted:Same, I mostly bake as opposed to cook, I can cook fine but nothing nearly as pretty or fancy usually. If you can bake, you can cook. It really all just comes down to flavor profiles more than precision; you could just as easily substitute ponzu or Worcestershire sauce for anything calling for soy and you'd still have a tasty dish. The lack of precision is one of the things I enjoy most about cooking since it means every dish I make is just slightly different than the last time and my family still enjoys it.

LawfulWaffle posted:yesss thank you. I love it I should mention Stranger of Sword City also has a permadeath mechanic but its handled just stupidly. Characters can have 1 2 or 3 hearts, determined by their age. If you are downed in battle you lose a heart and are incapacitated and if you have no hearts left thats it, dead forever. By being younger you have more hearts but less stats and being older you have more stats but less hearts. Problems: 1) The break points are messy. At age 19 and 20 you get 3 hearts and a small stat boost. Ages below 18 get 3 hearts and no stat boost. Why even have that be an option? Similar things are at each bracket, with no reason to be the younger side of a heart tier 2) It takes absolute ages to recover from being downed. If a character is downed and has a heart remaining you go back to the hospital. There they spend time recovering until they can adventure again, but that doesn't give the heart that was lost back. No, that requires a separate, longer stay that gets longer the higher level you are. Even by 1/3rd into the game it was an hour+ of game time to recover a heart during which you can't use that character and they get no XP, by end game no guide would ever tell you to waste time on this mechanic. 3) This is also a really brutal game, so powerleveling is both not as fast as you would hope and also ridiculously risky; a single errant blow to your new party member filling in the slot starts the hospital cycle over anew. Even if you don't it'll still take you significantly longer to level a replacement than just reseting your game and walking back to wherever you were. 4) The stat boost of going 1 heart is, frankly, pretty big. Like we're talking 5+ levels or more worth of bonus stats in game where you will be fighting tooth and nail for each xp level up and one or two level ups greatly impacts your odds of survival. 5) The main character can't perma-die, so giving them more than one heart is 100% pointless. The game does not tell you this until looooooooooong after the tutorial but yes, the optimal player character is 99 years old.

You can use the blockchain for all kinds of dumb questionably legal poo poo and absolutely zero non-questionable good poo poo. But when enough dumb money gets sucked up into it it becomes a black hole that starts to attract marginally smarter money through sheer volume and the allure of getting a piece of it before it all crashes down (again). Your job is to be even smarter than that and stay the gently caress away at all times
