Monster96, do gaming w I try to convince myself to use "random appearance" in games that have it now

I spend most of my time constantly customizing my character in Fallout 4 than actually playing the game I’ve noticed. I like to switch out her outfits, her hair, eye colour, etc. from time to time depending in what’s happening in game. For example, if she’s in Nuka World as a raider then I put on a post-apocalyptic outfit or if she’s in the institute I dress her as a covert assassin.

Just got fallout 4 the other day. Spent like an hour making the guy look like Geralt from the Witcher, then proceeded to play as the gal.

Such a shame that >!he died after like 10 minutes!<

Demdaru,

Ooooh, you still might hear his echo :3

I’m learning just now that you can even customize both of them. I never thought to do both, just whichever I feel like playing as for that playthrough.

Agrivar,

Wait, am I just learning now that you can customize both parents and then choose which one to actually play later?

Patches,

You customize both but “later” is a stretch. You will never see the other after bout 10 minutes of gameplay. >!Spoilers!<. I think they use both of your looks to generate your child but honestly that side story is such shit - I’d rather not look for my son/daughter.

FilthyShrooms,

Nonsense. If you ever want to >!go back to the vault, you can see their frozen body slumped over next to your open cryopod.!< That’s like a whole 12 minutes!

Mark my words as the real JC Denton, GTA VI will cause the Video Game Market Crash, it will be a Ubisoft level of bad, with xp boosters, online only, ancient gameplay, and woke Disney story telling

I just recently finished Final Fantasy XVI and I think its GOTY nomination was well earned, despite its shortcomings. A hell of a journey.

I agree with all of these picks too.

MrBusiness,

That story was amazing for as far as I got, but the combat was too repetitive and underwhelming to stick it through. I need to see if there’s a movie cut on YouTube

Very similar to my EDC. I love my Signal, really can’t beat it for the size.

It’s great!

SendMePhotos,

Is there any other one you would have bought instead?

FlashZordon,
@FlashZordon@lemmy.world avatar

I had a Leatherman Skeletool for almost a decade before the Signal and almost bought another one when I finally lost it.

SendMePhotos,

I ordered and received the Signal. I like it overall. My only complaint is why is the clip plastic?

constantokra,

I’ve been eyeing the signal for when I actually know i’m working with my hands. I always carry a sog powerpint, and I use the heck out of it. It’s the smallest tool that can actually do real work, so if you want something smaller, check them out. Oh, and you could get them on aliexpress for like 30 bucks last time I checked.

@constantokra @SendMePhotos Oh and of course if you're looking for something without pliers, a 91mm or 93mm(alox) Victorinox is very good. The cons are no locking tools, one handed blade, or pocket clip

Climber gives you blades, scissors, screwdrivers, can and bottle opener, Huntsman adds a wood saw, Mountaineer adds the metal file/precision screwdriver/metal saw, Ranger adds both. The Huntsman is super cheap from victorinox themselves and the Mountaineer is the most expensive.

constantokra,

I have a champ from the 90s, and the tools are all great, but I mostly find myself needing pliers and a blade. It’s great for.outdoors though.

I actually just finished cleaning up a Swiss army knife I found in a house I was cleaning out. I had the scales off, because it was super nasty, and they were solid in the back, so i’m guessing it’s oldish, which might explain why I can’t figure out which model it is. Everything sizeable I find has the hook, and mine, unfortunately, does not.

You seem to know a lot about them. Any idea what it is, or where I could look to figure it out?

@constantokra That's interesting. I'd check SAK Wiki or field it with the folks on r/victorinox (they also have a discord server).

The main tools are identical to the swiss champ, but the back tools are a bit different. There's also no sewing eye on the reamer/awl. So maybe it's an older version of the swiss champ. The newer one also has plus scales so it has a pen included which you would see the slot for on this side of the scales.

constantokra,

Thanks! I checked the wiki, which I didn’t.know existed, and it’s a 7 layer champion, from between 1977 and 1985. Apparently that model had a lot of changes in its lineup, the older models did not have hooks, and the even older models only had 6 layers.

MudMan, do gaming w Help

See, I like the skill, physical endurance or patience to properly speedrun a game.

But I will play a game on autopilot over and over again. Call it... I don't know, speedjogging a game? Speedstrutting? Power speedwalking?

In any case, there are many situations where I will gladly play through Streets of Rage in half an hour instead of barely making it through the tutorial of whatever the current epic is. I feel at peace with that.

Godort,

This was me until I discovered randomizers. The same game you know, but things changed enough to feel fresh.

I spin up a Link to the Past rando a couple times a month because it only takes about 2 hours to finish one.

Victory at any cost, unless you recently crossed me, then it’s “Anyone’s victory but you”.

Like Mario Party, or a less violent game of Monopoly.

partial_accumen, do gaming w Just fuck off back to ranked already

What does “overcompetitive” mean here? Is it a player silently trying their best or those toxic players that try to tell you how you should be playing?

Gerbler,

The second one

criitz,

I think you answered your own question!

partial_accumen,

Just because it seems obvious to me, I don’t assume I’m right, hence my question. However thank you for your answer that seems to confirm what I thought its the “telling” folks being called out here.

@franklin@lemmy.world avatar

This post is talking about the second one but I have definitely been called try hard just because I’m quietly and politely trying my best in a non-ranked game and the other team doesn’t like losing.

twoface_99, do games w I'm making a "Stanley Parable"-inspired game, accepting suggestions

If your game allows people to hold stuff: A small purple Stegosaurus that the player can pick up. It ever so slightly grows in size whenever you enter a new room. Once it is big enough you can use its tail as a ramp to get to a new area, otherwise inaccessible.

Road_Warrior_10,

Interesting idea, thank you :)

slowly, delicately, gently pressuring the button until the most slightest click is heard, then presumably all hell breaks loose immediately, forthwith

GRID (2019), there seems to be a lack of decent arcade track racers nowadays but this is a good one.

The OG Yakuza 1 and 2 may be dated but I enjoyed their Kiwami remakes.

Halosheep,

Came here to say this. Yakuza Kiwami was my introduction to the franchise and I liked it quite a bit

I recently played final fantasy 1 pixel remaster and its pretty dope. If you’re a big FF fan I recommend it.

I played the original original a little while back, and it was rough around the edges, but fun.
