interesting. I feel like this is more of a SAD topic or something to contact an admin about, and less of a legend/saga.

FirstnameLastname posted:don't look up any spoilers/solutions to anything Yeah I went in blind and finished earlier tonight (I actually started early this week) Game owned, friends who got it for me are upset I figured out how to get to the end quickly, but are also laughing because I completely flubbed a super easy puzzle for hours straight. Everyone wins.

Fair enough, I know I was being snide with my earlier "oh he only got 12 hours lol" comment so I'll leave it at that Meanwhile: Psycho Landlord posted:I'm playing Outer Wilds for the first time and have mostly just been killing myself in scientifically impressive ways It probably didn't help that I perpetually have the No Man's Sky disc in my PS4, so I'm spoilt on the whole "flying a starship from Planet A to Planet B as smoothly as possible" thing. It sucks because I love the aesthetic of Outer Wilds but I wish the controls didn't annoy me as much as they do

Drinkslinger posted:Fair enough, I know I was being snide with my earlier "oh he only got 12 hours lol" comment so I'll leave it at that I know this excuse is overdone and kinda obnoxious, but there's definitely an intent there with the controls being loose and bad. The Hearthian space program hems closer to Beverly Hillbillies than Star Trek, and the designers want to encourage you to have whacky misadventures that result from mistakes and crashes. They are not expecting smooth spaceflight, nor does the game demand it You will eventually get the hang of it. More to the point, you will settle into a "eh, good enough" mindset where crashing headfirst into a planet is actually your intent and not an accident. There's really only one stretch that demands precise piloting, and the nature of that spot heavily discourages speed or reckless handling, so the controls are a lot more manageable It's worth pushing through!!

I'm redownloading it as I write this! Trust me, I'm well aware that my issues with it boil down to me being impatient - I've got some time off work at the moment so I have the hours needed to invest in it. I'll make it work

ajkalan posted:Never understood why that confused people. It's a mechanic that's used literally nowhere else in the entire series, and everything about the game leads you to believe you're meant to get enough momentum to pass it by jumping on the barrel.

They are not expecting smooth spaceflight, nor does the game demand it I'm reminded of Oddworld Abe's Exoddus where apparently they had trouble getting the Flying Slig to control well, and eventually just decided to lean into it and make a point of how it's clumsy and tricky to fly. But yeah, I can see that going. It's also a game that literally resets every 22 minutes or so, I imagine there's a fair few points you're expected to crash with no intention of taking off again.

Drinkslinger posted:I got as far as the initial space flight, then realised I was utterly terrible at piloting the craft, crashed several times, and kinda gave up at that point First and most important truth I learned in this game - if you're within a kilometer of where you meant to be and you walked away, it was a good flight Do not give a poo poo about your ship. Don't try to fly perfect. You'll be fine.

Also I feel like perfectly smooth ship flight wouldn't fit the ramshackle nature of Hearthian spaceflight.

Their unhinged murder fantasies about public figures and other posters is way beyond acceptable for CSPAM, and both vyelkin and I quickly agreed we'd have given them a ban+30 for their prior rapsheet entry from December 2021. We'd appreciate if folks would PM a mod, admin, or start a SAD thread if there's a serious current issue.

Is the forum admins email good for things like this or does "dude who can't stop talking about his lust for civilian blood" not rate high enough for the oh-poo poo email list? Because we seem to have an awful lot of these types showing their whole rear end these days.

Because we seem to have an awful lot of these types showing their whole rear end these days. Yeah, admin email is good, though I wouldn't say this example was an emergency. We don't get that many admin emails, from what I've seen, a handful a week so far? Certainly it's not going to get lost in the shuffle. The advantage of an email is all of us see it, so you're likely to get a quicker response. Another good option would be the "small questions" thread in SAD, which I do have bookmarked. You could post there if there hasn't been action on something for a bit, though keep in mind it can sometimes take a few hours until someone goes through reports or whatever. In this case, it was a little more than 2 hours between the 6er in CSPAM and vyelkin and I noticing the report, having a discussion with CSPAM mods and IKs, and landing on ban+30 with explicit warning the next time they do their thing it's a permaban. The system more or less worked as intended, I think? Anyhow, the main reason I want to discourage discussion of current moderation issues itt is I think those conversations should be in a public feedback space (SAD or forum feedback threads) so everyone can participate, not in PYF Legends. Or in private, if they're private conversations.

How is bringing the unhinged posts to light in this thread any different than those options? We’d appreciate staff responding to concerns effectively. edit: posted this immediately before your previous comment. Fair point.

I just wanted to ask because when the forum admins distribution list was announced it was said that it was the oh poo poo emergency line and what constituted acceptable things to bring up there wasn't actually outlined. I feel like this is the kind of thing that might be a good use for the email list because popping something like this into QCS/SAD has historically resulted in the posting pals of the accused rolling up to stir poo poo. It'd just be nice to make sure we're not going to get blasted by the staff for shooting "so this dude can't stop talking about how much he wants people to die" emails to the admin DL whenever this kind of thing pops up.

It'd just be nice to make sure we're not going to get blasted by the staff for shooting "so this dude can't stop talking about how much he wants people to die" emails to the admin DL whenever this kind of thing pops up. We have discussed adding some more SAD IKs, docbeard is the most active at actually moderating and if we could clone him a few times that'd be great. The advantage to having IKs in SAD, imo, is that they're not in the mod forum or in close contact with mods. They can kind of be true "third parties" when things are contentious between users and mods while keeping things civil between users. That's a longer-term solution. For now, the three new admins have been watching SAD pretty closely and while we don't push buttons a lot there I have no problem doing so if someone is really making GBS threads up a serious SAD thread. Hmm, for non-emergencies I would give the crappy system a little time to work, maybe like 12-24 hours depending on how bad the post is. Most of the time the response should be shorter, but if that 6er for Anti-Social Disease is sitting in the LC for a day then absolutely, wake us up. This might be a question for Rhino but in my mind, the ideal way for things to work is if it's mentioned here, someone posts "yeah this is terrible I'm going to email the admins / start a SAD thread" and either you mostly wait a bit for a reply or you take discussion to the SAD thread. Again, my motive here is mainly that I want discussion of moderation issues to be in places where the people who need or want to read it are most likely to read it and participate. In this case, both vyelkin and I happen to be following this thread and we could respond. god I sound stuffy tonight, hopefully that all more or less makes sense. edit: I absolutely think an email would've been appropriate in this instance. Or a SAD thread if no response after a day or so.

Also what’s weird too is that they filmed a lot of the jungle chase practically and then shoved cgi nonsense over it which made it look phony, despite being done on a set. It’s a shame. I don’t think it’s the worst thing ever it’s just very mid but some of the issues are real annoying. I also hate the line “well by the way you’re sinking your teeth into those wubbayoos…” Yeesh

Because this discussion is happening here, I’ll say it here, but at a systems level IK probe time period should match the amount of lead time expected; if 12-24 hours is the service level objective then IKs should be able to take people out long enough for that to not allow for more posting before assessment.
