    Would you play a pack that has greg tech in it?

    When a decision maker lays blanket statements, and downright say "No, it's not going to happen again. We are beyond this." translation: We're better than that, slap your own kitchen sink pack together yourself. More was said, but again, I'm not risking a warning by dredging up posts and...

    Would you play a pack that has greg tech in it?

    I get all that, believe me I do, but a few months back posts were made regarding what I said in my last post that about made my jaw hit the floor. I'm not going to quote the threads in which they were said or by whom, you'll have to dig that up on your own. a. I get that. but it was said that...

    Creating maros

    let me add the qualifier "natively" to your statement. with software (i'm sure someone makes something similar for later versions of windows, i just can't be bothered to search further for OP tonight) you can indeed assign audio sources a hotkey that can be mapped to such a keyboard.

    Would you play a pack that has greg tech in it?

    Hey, imagine that... A pack that someone™ claimed wouldn't happen? I mean, since there's no audience for such a pack anymore, and we can just slap together a pack, since it's 1.7 and all that... Everybody only wants to play these "detailed", handcrafted HQM packs anyway, amirite? Or at...

    Yep, a straw man.

    Would you play a pack that has greg tech in it?

    This post smells strongly of a straw man, but sure, I'll bite. There's many pieces missing to this puzzle. You're talking about a mod you've made that adds one feature to a game that already has someone elses vision of balance applied to it, and then asking if the sword is balanced if a person...

    Would you play a pack that has greg tech in it?

    As a ratio, maybe. but there is no one equation to answer the question, and that is what I am saying. and even then, balance is elusive at times. If it were purely objective, I don't think it would be so hard to achieve for so many people. I mean, just look around in our own community at...

    Would you play a pack that has greg tech in it?

    I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree. I don't see how it can be mathematical if one person's answer is 14, another's is 42, and someone else's is -15Q? You need one answer to arrive at for it to be mathematical. My analogy about the scale and the fulcrum is what I'm referring to. You...

    I agree with that as well. I'm not vegetarian or vegan, but I do pay attention to what I eat and how sustainable it is.

    PETA MC server being created

    u wot m8? Not all humans eat a diet mainly consisting of meat. This is just mainly a 1st world thing. Here's some numbers. There are some stand out 1st world countries in the group; Japan, Norway, South Korea, and many others eat far less meat than we do in the states. Not all countries are...

    Would you play a pack that has greg tech in it?

    and...there has been thousands about gregtech. new and old. the discussion was relevant to the topic when it started, and it continued from there. for the sake of discussion, this was the right place at the time bruh. apologies if you wanted to rehash what many have said before about new gregtech.

    Would you play a pack that has greg tech in it?

    Alright, have it your way. Instead of some engaging discussion on game design, back to a dead-end discussion and 4 more pages of the same "Yeah, new GT is great. I'll play it"

    HQM in 1st Party Modpacks

    I'm not really worried about it though. All I said is that I won't play a pack that forces it down my throat. I understand that current packs are a take it or leave it approach to HQM, but the moment somebody creates a pack that I am locked out from progressing in a mod unless I partake in a...

    Would you play a pack that has greg tech in it?

    and if you have any doubt about balance being subjective or not, start a discussion between two D&D DM's, and watch the fun.

    Would you play a pack that has greg tech in it?

    I don't think we're arguing the same points at all. I know the difference between mechanics and balance. I mean, how can we be talking specifically about mechanics when mechanics are one of the things being balanced in a game? Balance is completely subjective because everybody has their own...

    Would you play a pack that has greg tech in it?

    The mathematics you speak of is just a metric, one metric of many, that is used to measure whether or not X feature, Y boss fight, or Z item is "balanced" in the scope of which it is relevant. With enough observation of the gameplay you can mathematically determine where things fall short, and...

    Direwolf20 season 7 - Huzzah!

    "My videos are tutorials" is not the same as "My videos teach you to be the most efficient minecraft player" that said, I agree. I can't watch Direwolf anymore myself.
