    • RE: MU Peeves Thread

      @RightMeow said in MU Peeves Thread:

      I miss RPing. I’ve filled my hours with other things, but I miss logging on and writing stories with people. I also miss the daily chatting with people I use to chat with about random stuff.

      However, the idea of making a new character makes me feel like I don’t have the mental energy. Then I’m not sure how well my RP will be after the ‘break’ I’ve been on.

      Anyways, in conclusion – if we’ve RPed at all, you’ve been on my mind and you rock - so thank you for writing stories with me.

      I don’t post here very often, if ever, I’m mainly content to just lurk and read and keep up to date.

      But this hit me like a brick.

      I’ve got no game to play on right now and haven’t for over a year. Part of it is because I’m picky, another part is trust issues, and a third is a general lack of time. But every so often, at least twice a week, I think back and I miss logging on to a grid, seeing the familiar faces, and getting stuck into a bit of chaos.

      I’m despondent that the last game that I invested a lot of time in went up in a sea of toxic flames, and I’m saddened by the lack of anything equivalent out there that’s similar in systems and size. I miss the people I don’t talk to anymore, and I miss playing in a codebase I understand.

      I would love to find a game out there that fits my specific niche, but at this point I’d have to loosen my stifling standards and try something new.

      I think I’ve been sitting on this for a long while, and I needed to let it out.

      It’s not just multiple alts, but those alts connected multiple times. For example, Sumi in the past used to connect all her alts from three-to-five different devices, meaning over a dozen connections from one player. That’s the number WHO looks at, and the number iberia.jdai.pt sees.

      @Pavel that is a genuine QoL feature I use daily.

      But I don’t need to have Copilot/Gemini/whatever advertised to me every time I open something that isn’t a video game.

      I don’t even read the AWS roadmaps anymore because it’s endless updates to Q and nothing about bringing their existing functionality out of minimum-viable-product stage.

      AI has its effective areas of use, but it is far narrower than what has been marketed and sold.

    • RE: On the utility of Logs, Receipts, and Proof

      Yes. No. “They’re new, they’ll be gone in two weeks.” I’m a male btw.

      I noted it down on a lesson on what not to do. Which to be fair I’m doing with a lot of the examples I see here. It’s the weirdest thing, the common sense to actually take something like this seriously doesn’t seem to be very bloody common.

      @Faraday I boycott Amazon because AWS absolutely sucks.

      I’d explain more but I have to go write more Lambda functions while closing every pop-up telling me to use Q to streamline my processes.

    • RE: The 3-Month Players

      @Pavel if I have to read seven hundred different linguistic interpretations of “globes” again it’ll be too soon.

      Honestly in regards to “sizeable” I was thinking something like a few dozen. I wouldn’t call it a metric of “success” so much as “a lot of people passed the three-month mark”. Quantifying success objectively is risky territory in this highly subjective hobby.

    • RE: The 3-Month Players

      This is probably my cynicism talking, but the games that keep a sizeable number of players post-Bubble usually have one of two things:

      • Inventory/econ/XP/gimme shiny gamified rewards that tickle the MMO brain.
      • Sex as a basic premise.

    • RE: General Video Game Thread

      Dynasty Warriors: Origins is a fantastic musou game that sits down and really works on the Dynasty Warriors formula and I recommend it to anyone who played prior games, even if they were burned by DW9.

      The story gets a proper dedicated focus instead of being relegated to mission and character cut-scenes, and works hard to tell the saga of the Downfall of the Han with a combination of historical accuracy, Romance of the Three Kingdoms embellishments, and Dynasty Warriors flair. Respect is shown to what were formally comic relief characters such as the tragedy of Zhang Jiao and the morph of Dong Zhuo into a truly menacing manipulator.

      Gameplay is harder and no longer winnable by mashing X/Square. You need to combine light and heavy attacks, Battle Arts, blocking, dodging, and your Musou attacks (which now come close to being full screen wipes) in a far more skill-oriented system. There are less than ten weapons this time around, but each one has a massive moveset and all are completely differentiated from each other in style and gameplay.

      Some things did miss the cut, like playing as historical characters instead of the new protag John Musou (who himself is probably the weakest part of the game), but the work done on the gameplay and story more than makes up for it.
