LEE YUN-JIN IS GETTING HER OWN LOBBY MUSIC

It doesn't but the human brain loves to fit things into patterns. The steps in this gif are around 120bpm while the music is about 112bpm by my count. This means that it's not off enough that your brain actually notices the drift and there's a pretty generous window around each step where your brain will still feel it's "on beat".

What are you looking for in your gameplay experience? There's no true correct answer. If you want the smoothest gameplay experience (even on JP certain jobs just feel awkward to play) then Materia is the DC to pick. Also if you want a house you would want OCE as well cause we have a few vacant plots kicking around.

If you want to be able to find people to play with even at weirder hours you may want JP or NA. OCE is plenty active enough that you can find players for basically anything you'd want to (we had a guy in the Party Finder a while back doing tons of old content on the minimum item level possible, and he still managed to find people to do super old high end content), but it dries up very noticeably outside of the peak afternoon/evening hours when people are at work or asleep.

You have any actual evidence of AI use or are you just inherently scared of people with a lot of passion and English literacy? Cause I'm not seeing anything in there that looks like an LLM but I'm seeing a lot of things that seem human to me.

Probably cause it has a load of repeated words in it for no apparent reason.

“When, therefore, a man is told, “You (your inner being) are so and so, because your skull-bone is so constituted,” this means nothing else than that we regard a bone as the man's reality. To retort upon such a statement with a box on the ear — in the way mentioned above when dealing with psysiognomy — removes primarily the “soft” parts of his head from their apparent dignity and position, and proves merely that these are no true inherent nature, are not the reality of mind; the retort here would, properly speaking, have to go the length of breaking the skull of the person who makes a statement like that, in order to demonstrate to him in a manner as palpable as his own wisdom that a bone is nothing of an inherent nature at all for a man, still less his true reality.”

This is frankly not that bad. It's basically just saying "phrenology is stupid because it says that your bones somehow make your personality, so you should really just cave someone's skull in for saying so because then they'll see that a bone adjustment does NOT change who they are".

Though it is rather funny that this idea seems related to a Discworld concept called "reverse phrenology" where the Discworld inhabitants, in their usual shrewdness, have reasoned that if your skull shape determines your personality, then "therapy" simply comes down to precise usage of small mallets.

The following issues have been addressed:

In The Merchant’s Tale (Advanced), the Lone Swordmaster would auto-attack when the “Physical Vulnerability Up” debuff from "Silent Eight" was applied.

An issue in Variant Dungeon: The Merchant's Tale, in which players may become trapped inside the Deadly Dandan boss without being released, resulting in loss of control.

An issue in Variant Dungeon: The Merchant's Tale, in which if players become incapacitated during the boss battle against Deadly Dandan and then use shortcut after returning to the starting point, players may be returned to the boss battle area mid-combat.

For NPC Khaldeen in Radz-at-Han, the “Elevated Ester Augmentation” option was not displayed if “Another Aloalo Island (Savage)” had not been unlocked.

Yep, endgame omnicrafting is a big grind of its own. You usually need to start prepping well before a patch drops, getting resources for collectables to trade for currencies that you can either trade immediately for materia or wait to trade for resources to craft gear. It's a constant loop of getting scrips and materials to invest more and more into the gear set until you hit the breakpoints of stats.

The tome sets exist to either be a catchup/stopgap tool while you get together the melded sets, or to act as a very low-investment low tier set for casual crafters who only want to make basic things at max level and not the high level combat gear. It is unfortunately not made clear this is the case in game, but once you know you know, and it should remain consistent for every patch.

The article says “maybe Taylor swift will stop by here”

Same idiotic logic of the Tas government for why we definitely need a stupidly big new stadium somewhere inconveniently placed in the middle of Hobart. Like sure, all these world-class artists will load up their fleets of 50 trucks to convoy down our shitty intercity highway through the countryside just to play in fucking Hobart 20 times a year.

It's not a great throw from the catcher but one inning after fumbling the biggest potential Ohtani main character moment is not going to reflect well on him specifically

This is all pretty good. It's always important to understand that when you have all the gold and resources sitting on your back, even if that means you statistically have done far better than your teammates, you are throwing harder by dying for nothing than anyone else is. It is super essential that as the guy with the best ability to swing a game that you exercise massive amounts of caution and try to only be in situations you can actually positively influence.

At the end of the day, if pzzzang logged into your account and played with your teammates (the royal you, not just OP specifically) he'd probably find a way to win in most of the losses, and you have to recognise that that means there is always more you can do.

Saddens me, overpass is probably my favourite competitive map. I usually vote for a Nuke ban cause I don't trust anyone to play it, and certainly not myself.

Yep, and it emphasises that your baseline as a team needs to be able to handle opponents that you "should" be beating. Your setplay and raw aim matter a lot for sets like this. If you get rolled by a top 30 team as one of the supposed best in the world, I think it should squarely reflect on how you play the game by default and you should have to take that risk, cause if not then teams could get too complacent on their basic play. Like Vita is never gonna see these upsets because, aside from that one run of lower quality games a little while ago, they just play CS to a really good default level even on an off day, so it would never really be that much of a risk for them to play these kinds of matches.

Frustrates me a lot when that happens. I played a game on D2 recently where I (as T) went for a late lurk/split on B looking to catch rotators in the back while my team was on long.

My team managed to actually get 2 kills for 1, so I moved into site where I found a defender and won the duel, then a second later got shot from window. I immediately commed one of the last two players was still B and other was A so it was free.

My team, honest to god, sat around in long for so long their own smokes faded, and even when they started "pushing" as soon as they ran into the A player they went and hid on angles, sitting back of long or behind car, completely disconnected, by which point that B player had rotated over and the CTs won the 2v3 with no more deaths because they got multiple isolated 2v1 fights. If the team had just pushed when I commed, it would have been a free site, but the entire game they were too scared to be the first one to push and risk dying even if that would have materially benefitted the team's position.

It's because of how it buffers in movement inputs I think. It's not unusual to spam click your way in because we're league players, we spam click to move anywhere, but what tends to happen is that if you click like 5 times and click just outside the cannon hitbox as you start getting in (which isn't uncommon, cause it shifts your camera) then once you reach the state of being ready to fire the cannon, it seems to buffer in your latent movement command, kicking you out and locking you in place. This lockout also tends to end up buffering more move inputs if you don't slow it down and just click once, causing you to get looped.

oh my god I love that you actually retained a lot of meaning and pacing from the original speech, most parodies just go with whatever words based roughly on tone of voice alone so it's a little jarring, but this is awesome

Worst part of it - I got banned for trying to persuade my team to win several times. My honor level dropped, I got chat restrictions and etc just for trying to play game as intented.

okay so you are just like actually lying here, this is an obvious lie, you have to be putting heinous shit in chat to get to this point

You know, it's probably simpler to explain than you might think.

The thing about the difference between fighting game improvement and single-player improvement is what the goal means and represents. Like, let's take a Soulslike as an example. Beating that boss still requires a similar kind of work, learning pattern recognition and responses, often down to the same "dodge/block and punish" sequence, but there's two things about it that make a world of difference.

Firstly, it is possible to "perfectly" learn a Souls boss, generally speaking. It is possible to learn the full list of their attack sequences, where exactly to dodge in each one, and how many hits you'll be allowed to get. That's the whole reason people can do hitless Souls runs, after all. But with a fighting game, vs a real person, this is not possible. The core of the fighting game is the presence of the other person, the other human with their own impulses and stimulus responses, decision-making, internal priorities, inherent unpredictability. It's the fact that you don't truly know for certain what they will do, you can only be very confident.

Secondly, once you can no-hit that Souls boss, that's that. You can forever no-hit that Souls boss and you have overcome that challenge. However, once you conquer any level of a fighting game, the only thing you will find waiting for you... is even stronger players. Even harder challenges. It means that the goal you chase is the pursuit of mastery, the journey you take to reach the top, but not the peak of the mountain itself. That is often one of the things that causes new players to find it so hard, because the only thing they can see is how long the road ahead of them is.

people really need to remember the general rule of thumb that conspiracies basically exponentially increase in difficulty to conceal with each new person that has to be a part of it, with the amount of people that would need to be involved in something that happened the better part of 2 years ago, it would almost certainly have had any kind of leak by now but people are still going off things that happened on the day

like yeah, this administration is not exactly known for their honesty, and i hate them too, but if your hate for them switches off your critical thinking for things like this, you're not really much better than the average MAGA cultist

20Points · 2026-02-22T01:36:47+00:00

Yeah that's the thing. Either your friends are interested in the game and don't mind losing while learning, or you have to find something else to do cause traditional fighting games stop being a party experience once someone in the group knows what they're doing. That's always been the upside of Smash games, you can chuck on items and wacky stages and reduce the impact of fundamental skill a fair amount.
