actually fuck all this I'm just going to make it a body replacement quirk that also repalces the head (with the antennas and screens being external organs)

why shouldn't they be changelings. imagine the comedy when you get mad at an ipc and punch him in the face and it goes squelch

It's just weird that something without DNA can be a changeling (and also a code nightmare because of the way posibrains are handled in interacting with carbons/the fact ...

hello again I'm spitballing how I'd do IPCs for tg and I wanted to get some input here on my balance ideas. yeah I'm a big ideas guy how can you tell. no I don't have maintainer approval for my thought experiment.

For those who are unaware: IPCs exist on other codebases as a "Robotic humanoid" that ...

Funny enough I think your screenshot has the perfect hint as to the least snowflaked solution: what layer is the medal on? Could probably turn it into an item like that.

Warning: Armchair dipshit opinion ahead:

I mean possibly. They have the working netcode with the PVP, and they've shown in the past that they have working networking with AI controlled mobs (Elden ring coop?) So unless something about the way ACs/bosses are built as code entities is so entirely new ...

Updating that I have 100%ed as of like a week ago and this game rules

EASY game of the year pick, hands down, sorry @ Baldur's Gate and lmao get fucked @ Starfield

Having now got 100% myself: Yep, complete agreement here. My only regret is that there isn't more. I think this is a game that ...

Ziiro

Yeah I definitely wish I did it that way. Instead I just did the grinding on missions I could complete in 30 seconds. Now I've got 9 missions left to S Rank and I'm sitting on 30 million.

I waited 10 years for a new Armored Core and it was everything I could have hoped for

The way NG+/++ subtly changes things along the way is honestly a little unsettling in a really fun way, where ...

Slammed through the story and I'm on New Game+. It carries the torch very very well so I'm pretty happy with the game overall. I can't recommend it to everyone though. I think a lot of people are going to be completely dumpstered by the difficulty spikes the game has with certain bosses.

It's one of my favorite new features of the game in a while. It really helps to hear a voice and not always have to read a chatbox sometimes. It's also nice for characterization.

My only complaint is very minor in that we don't have a directory of who the voices were modeled from. That's about it.

Ziiro

the dark urge so funny to me, i love it so much

I picked it up on my custom paladin for a 2 player game on a whim and I have been both horrified and laughing my ass off. The number of Dark Urge specific replies it sneaks into the average conversation and commentary without telling you is so ...

By the way it's fucking bullshit you can't throw medium creatures with 18str. It takes fucking 20. Come on.

...i never thought to throw other creatures

It does a lot of damage and is very fun. Threw a teammate at a spider once and it broke the bridge the spider was on, dealing 40 damage to ...

There's enough slight rule changes here that makes it interesting even as someone who played a shit load of 5e in ttrpg form.

I'm assuming a lot of this is getting into the next edition but if not I'd like to see a D&D 5.5 BG3 edition or something.

the only time I've accepted it as an excuse was Titanfall 1, because that was some fucked up cross-generational game (x360/xb1) and they did not have the processing overhead to include an audio decoder in the engine because it was so running so close to the edge so they shipped it with fucking 35gb ...

Ziiro

Should, but I sure as hell am not going to wait.

I'm a bit pissed because I can't preload it and they advised to uninstall the early access version for a clean install, and 122gb is going to be rough on my dogshit mountain internet

I'm probably going to play custom in BG3. I played one of the named characters in Divinity because it really seemed like one of the pillars of the whole game to play it through the lens of one of those characters.

Ziiro

Oh yeah I fucking loved Divinity 2. It was really special to play it with my friends. A really unique experience.

Also I killed all 3 of them in a single turn in the final bout to become the Divine as Fane. Restoration of the Eternals.

Ziiro

the first act will be absolute perfection as its had years of playtesting and tuning, but i have a bad feeling the remaining acts will be drastically reduced in quality as theyve likely had very little QC

This is basically what happened with Divinity 2 iirc. I came to the game late but my ...

Make it spawn simplemob xenos and then re-add obtaining xeno organs from simplemobs via taking them to the DNA extractor in gene (minus getting egg organ if you're worried about funny xeno gaming)

alternatively: do the above and keep the xeno egg organ, because a traitor scientist raising an ...

I am glad we have MSO, and I do think he's the best at hosting out of any other host due to his skills, I do wish there was a contingency plan. The single role with complete power keeping the server afloat means that if something happens to MSO
/tg/ might fracture, and you know my #1 goal with ...

Ziiro

I think in a perfect world for a game like SS13, everything that can have a code solution to enforce roleplaying or an expected/wanted behavior should do so.

Even if I were to generally agree, it is necessary to weigh the cost of what you lose by solving a solution through code. I think this ...

Ziiro

Indeed, but this just moves the goalposts, instead of getting yourself converted, you just "accidentally" speed run an assisted suicide and then go join the now more numerable antag rolling midrounds. And then you can speed run kill your next character and repeat. More notably cult/revs here ...

Ziiro

How would we enforce this policy wise?

Would it follow the same restrictions split personalities follow?

I would imagine so to a degree - there would have to be a blurb about "You don't remember your past lives" per the usual, and I guess something about self preservation and the pursuit of ...

Ziiro

I think this would give players a reason to not be "WHOOPS ACCIDENTALLY CONVERTED!!"

1) If a player mob would be converted, that body is offered up via prompt for a few seconds
2) If nobody responds, the original player keeps their body and stays in the game
3) If the player is later de-converted ...

There have been some true all-timers in the last few months. More enjoyment out of peanut threads than actually playing the game for me, these days.

There's an alpha version of DFHack that is compatible with 50, man I forgot how fun it is to fuck around with the pieces of this game.

I tinkered with it enough to make citizens out of a bunch of rat people/olm people/snake people/etc. The bat people keep getting drunk and hanging out in weird ...

Ziiro

I'm a big fan of it personally. My only caveat is that we should probably get a button where we can just hit "random" until we like a voice for the character than save the string or whatever so you can pick your character's voice.

I'm not even asking for like some sort of selector or advanced UI

step 1) Inventory system modified to be based on weight capacity of items rather than size of objects
step 2) Weight affects movement speed on a gradient based on how overloaded you are

Make meaningful choices on what you're bringing with you, or else, lmao

Here's my very intelligent solution; make it so that the moment the shuttle docks and the EOR screen pops up an uncapped devastation explosion occurs and instantly wipes out the shuttle and every person on it. There is now no reason to bring your funny EORG devices in the first place.

A different station using the tram tech for a loop would be nice. Each department is a section and gets its own stop. Square or rectangle shaped loop. Maybe two different trams on parallel tracks.

I can't name a specific "who" or "where" (beyond the where of Sybil), but I can name a generalize "who" of plenty of people I've spoken to whilst on tram. I'll join, realize it's tram, and start bitching the moment I enter my department, and usually there's at least one or two people who go "Yeah ...

Shadowrun is an awesome game with really solid lore. I tried to run it with some friends years back and it imploded. No one’s had the courage to run it since.

I played enough 5e to not like that your character never feels competent at what they should be good at. You can play to your strengths and build a great character and then eat shit at everything you do.

Because of this fundamental failure, you suddenly can't play your character roleplay wise as "I ...

Your fundamental mistake is thinking that it exists to be used. Lots of things are devised, one way or another, that don't have any real, serious expectation of in-game use. Their purpose is to show off how cool of an idea the coder had and allow a small number of people who understand the system ...
