/tg/Station 13

this game just seems like the mechanics have gotten more and more needlessly obtuse since I picked it up

especially the nutrition shit

It's good but I don't like how you can't do the hard mode unless you finished a normal mode immediately before, I want to do another hard run
you can look up some save files online to use, just replace your current save file with it. You could copy a save right before you finish the normal mode to ...

NPC factions and ownership and shit? Hell I should get back into this, maybe write about it more

But welcome back! Enjoy the new changes. Come say hi to me sometime, I mainly hang out on Events these days.

Well there’s a face I owe a lot of favors too! Loving the new avatar.

Eh, the legal situation is complex, maritime law is like that, and the fact that the gals personal politics probably played a role doesn't mean that rescuing people lost at sea is now illegal

the U.S has a similar legal situation with pacs

They're both dealing with acausal trade- two parties ...

I miss Vampire being about the personal horror of a kindred, what they've become, the predatations of vampire society and the things they need to do to survive. I hate superheroes with fangs

I mean in fairness the 'a game of personal horror' concept was fucked from the beginning because the devs ...

That [Soapboxing about politics in video games] tends to be a bad sign
I mean, my World of Darkness tabletop game was HEAVILY motivated by my politics, and you seemed to enjoy that! :P

That said: WoD has always been a pretty political game- the three main vampire factions are extraordinarily ...

Drynwyn

It is in fact a good fucking game

Escaped slavery, wandered the land, became a lethal ninja, came back to where I was once enslaved, murdered every guard, would recommend.

Drynwyn

This is quantification, not objectivity.

Putting numbers of subjective questions about how overpowered something is doesn't make those questions 'objective', because game design centers around engagement, and engagement is intrinsically subjective.

man you hilarious

the op specifically says "With fights being riskier for borgs thanks to damage slowdown, there will be legitimate grounds to add some stronger gear to them" but thanks for demonstrating my point for me

Drynwyn

I read this as space marine law and was very disappointed

Drynwyn

This would be good, provided it's implemented as a complete solution, coupled with improved cyborg equipment. But it wouldn't be. Someone would add damage slowdown to borgs, then internal politics would make getting any buffs done a crapshoot.

Times are too long compared to dissasembly with tools/airlock hacking. 5 minutes for the safe is good, but there would be no reason to use this for anything else.

Drynwyn

I have mixed feelings on World of Light, it's just okay. Many of the fights are fun, but the ones with multiple opponents tend to be frustrating enough that I don't like it much (and are unplayable on the Switch screen).

Drynwyn

I didn't play Smash 4 so a bunch of characters are new to me
Right now I'm maining Bayonetta and Inkling

Inkling is actually REALLY GOOD.

Adventure mode is interesting, pretty much any fight with mini fighters is a pain in the ass on the Switch screen, though. And the Spirits system seems just as ...

Drynwyn

that's the objective likely

brussels as a center of government was probably chosen because it's physically annoying for anyone to actually go there; only the moneyed classes that make up the chief interests of the place can travel in and out on planes every week.
Got it in one.

Oh, neat.

Surprise, I'm back! Hit me up.

Drynwyn

IIRC, spells are stored in the mind, and minds are constant between VR and real world. So a wizard VR might be a pain in the ass to code.

Drynwyn

The extended biobag would be an easy code- you just make a child of the basic biobag and override the capacity (and give it a new sprite).

The lava tile would be a little harder. If you make the lava burn a hole in the station after it goes away it would be doable.

Drynwyn

Yeah lets give medical everything, lets turn this into a fkin medical station! Dont you know toxins is lorewise the most relevant place

Medical is another disaster of a department, but only because of how easy medical is on tg. Giving lifeform-related and research to medical would ...

Sec and Command players who feel the need to go the round removal route over the most trivial matters. They then usually gloat about how you're "just mad you got caught" and "a shitter", autistically missing the point. It's pathetic and with higher than 90 IQ you could find other things to do with ...

In my experience if you're having severe early game troubles, it's just as likely to be a symptom of how you're building your character then how you're playing. Personally, I build for the early game exclusively. "Utility" stuff- mechanics, electronics, first aid- they can all be picked up not ...

I consider myself to be a centrist. Though I've been called both left wing and right wing a lot

This purely because I consider left-right to be economical and believe the social stuff of lgbt and so on should be on a different scale of progressive-traditional

Every single country in Europe has voter ID

If they stop illegal immigrants from voting, that's the entire point because these are not citizens and you're not letting Russians vote either, are you?

If I paid the shipping costs would you be interested in selling to someone in the U.S? Depending on what they come out to I might be interested.

Drynwyn

These things aren't even accurate

They're not tracking ancestry, they're tracking repeated genome sequences common to certain populations- but common in genetic terms means about a 70% margin of error

To be fair, the military is the only one who should be using that metric

Everyone else should just trust their doctor when the doc says "Stop eating fried lard for breakfast", usually the doc knows enough about that to tell you thats a bad idea

Dunno about the doctors where you're from XSI, but ...

by don't like do you mean "must actively dislike" or is ambivalence an acceptable position?

In fairness, the metric we use to determine if you're overweight or not is *terrible* for anyone except 18 to 24 year old males between 5'10" and 6'6" in height. (It was developed by the military on exclusively that sample group- the further you deviate from that group the ...

then why are politicians so unpopular

because the moneyed, elite class has a stranglehold on the material things that are necessary for the meaningful pursuit political power, and the bar is therefore very very low due to all your competition also being awful. it's not about being the most ...

Yeah yorii has the right of it. If one did want to honestly critique the idea of race in the game, the reasonable course is not to ask "Why no black people in this game", but to ask the question "Why did you choose to set it at this particular time in this particular place where there are only white ...

I've got family that teach in public school- if they're distributing local server code then perhaps I'll get ahold of it. They might lock it down so that local servers still have to be validated by a federal server, though.

Felons can run for office. They can't vote, but they can run for office!

You can run from office from a prison cell if you want to.
