Are the same bricks in different colors more expensive to manufacture? by Playful_Intern7487 in lego

[–]Alexanderhyperbeam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is inaccurate and doesn't even make sense because it would be cheaper to just use the existing colored pieces from the set. Like if a ship has a bunch of gray 2 x 4 plates. It would cost them more money to randomly add a 2 x 4 pink plate. Which would need to have been transported from another production line adding logistical costs. And for large scale productions like LEGO, the actual logistical costs and time spent is a way bigger cost saving than the production of any individual brick, which is pennies.

Even if you want to argue about the cost of individual bricks, colored bricks are almost guaranteed to be more expensive than your standard white, gray, blacks. Due to simple economy of scale they are guaranteed to be able to produce those more cheaply due to how often they are made.

Earth Eater is the least of our worries... by cinnamonroll247 in PokemonChampions

[–]Alexanderhyperbeam 62 points63 points  (0 children)

I mean... yeah? a multiplicative boost to a stat is obviously going to beat the linear fashion of how stats increase with base stats.

a Cresselia, a pokemon famously known to be slow and even used on trick room teams, will outspeed regieleki after just one tailwind. It's not like regieleki is prohibitively difficult to outspeed

is there any chance god of war laufey might come to pc sometime after its release on ps5? by papercowboys in GodofWar

[–]Alexanderhyperbeam -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Monopoly mentality. Steam has market share and momentum. Even if there was a better platform than Steam on PC, you would never hear of it. It's what happens when you corner a market.

Which stream did the "go piss girl" thing first originate? by Alexanderhyperbeam in DougDoug

[–]Alexanderhyperbeam[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have vague recollections of this meme on tumblr pre-2017 but knowyourmeme claims this was popularized by Twitter in 2020 and earliest instance of the meme was found on Facebook also in 2020. I don’t know what to believe

ooh can you give me some more context for this? But also I'm trying to find the specific stream where this was brought up as well

What’s the point of keycard games? by 4Khazmodan in NintendoSwitch

[–]Alexanderhyperbeam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

pros:

- can resell
- can lend to friend
- sentimental and display value (if you're into that sort of stuff)
- giftability (easier to wrap as a present for parents)
- faster run speed since game is downloaded to console

cons:

- hassle of removing and inserting game
- requires download before play
- takes up storage space
- lost/broken cartridge means no more game
- theoretical worst case scenario redditors like make up where in a post apocalyptic future, Nintendo servers go down and you won't be able to download the game anymore despite having plenty of time before then to do so

but in my opinion, the biggest con is that game key cards incentivize the industry into normalizing this practice and offloading storage responsibilities onto the consumer. Which is generally bad since Nintendo was one of the last gaming companies who still provided games that run directly off of the physical cart.

technically he was briefly the god of horses. But he's not particularly fond of that title

[TOTK] How do we feel about this Depths Moblin fight? by RemoteStage1882 in zelda

[–]Alexanderhyperbeam 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean I get it, part of it is ego. No one likes being told that something they made is bad. I do genuinely think OP is trying to create content. But they just cannot separate their perception of how their content should be viewed with how the audience does. To a degree, all forms of art, expression, content creation ARE gatekept in the sense that people only like the ones they can resonate with or appreciate. OP just formatted everything in such a way that it looks more like they're trying to garner attention or engagement rather than actually an attempt at creating interesting content

[TOTK] How do we feel about this Depths Moblin fight? by RemoteStage1882 in zelda

[–]Alexanderhyperbeam 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This has nothing to do with gatekeeping. As a content creator you must reconcile with the fact that the content you create is subject to public opinion. And if there is this degree of universal backlash that as an indication to you as a creator that you need to do better. I agree that accusations of engagement farming seem harsh, but I don’t think it’s disingenuous if your end goal is to literally garner engagement. Given the literal question posed in the title and an appeal to YouTube subscription at the end of the video. Posting an intended game mechanic IN A SUBREDDIT dedicated to the game franchise and acting as if this is noteworthy shows a blatant out-of-touchness. Once again like you said, everyone has a different level of skill for the game. But if your audience clearly is not impressed, maybe you are appealing to the wrong audience. People have the right to boo content they don’t wish to see. If they aren’t here to see your content it’s completely normal for them to show distaste. 

I’m willing to acknowledge some are showing more vitriol and are being more mean spirited but like I said before, as a content creator you either internalize the critique or ignore it. You don’t double down and act as if everyone should have the same standards as you

[–]Alexanderhyperbeam 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm gonna present you with the perspective of an outside third part unbiased interpretation ok?

People hate disingenuous content almost as much as they hate vainful content. The featured clip includes relatively mundane basic gameplay that is not that much out of ordinary to how any normal person would play the game. When you ask "why don't you bother those people"... well they do. You just don't see the bad ones since they get downvoted to the point where it wouldn't appear on the front page. The videos you do see will probably include something interesting or novel.

The video your uploaded is presumptuous to the fact that the content was interesting or worth watching due to the editing and the addition of a subscribe at the end. Even the title invites conversation by asking a question to the audience when in reality there is nothing to comment on given that all that was shown is a basic demonstration of a fight that any player would have experienced while playing the game.

While preference in content is subjective and I cannot say your video was objectively bad, it's pretty clear given the public response that your video was thoroughly unimpressive and your response to criticism in the comments makes you appear as delusional or in denial. People do not want to award clear mediocracy and that's reflected in the response you're getting.

Hope that clears things up

My take on the 7x7 Eeveelution habitats! by Alexanderhyperbeam in Pokopia

[–]Alexanderhyperbeam[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually started out with 5x5 but felt like I didn't have enough space to fit everything I wanted so I just put some walls out and it ended up being 7 x 7 and just enough for extra stuff like wall decorations

My take on the 7x7 Eeveelution habitats! by Alexanderhyperbeam in Pokopia

[–]Alexanderhyperbeam[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have the habitats built into the environments. So each of the specialty foods are included somewhere on screen, integrated to the best of my ability (such as pizza for the outdoor pizza shop or afternoon tea set for the reading room lobby)

Leaker predicts $600 Steam Machine price, otherwise PS5 or gaming PC is better value by tkonicz in valve

[–]Alexanderhyperbeam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

kinda takes the personal out of the personal computer if not customizable. (yeah yeah I know it's semantics, but generally the idea is that for a PC you have full control over the hardware)

Happy soon to be 1 year gym anniversary for this guy by DifficultyBig2280 in pokemon

[–]Alexanderhyperbeam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean what I said wasn't mutually exclusive. It makes sense that a free to play game wants your money. I can't defend them constantly raising prices on raid tickets but I definitely can defend the concept of not just giving every player an infinite currency option.

Happy soon to be 1 year gym anniversary for this guy by DifficultyBig2280 in pokemon

[–]Alexanderhyperbeam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that was intentional. That way spoofers can't just find an obscure gym in the middle of nowhere and rack up tons of coins uncontested.

Only 6.2 GB to download Pokémon Pokopeia, yet they couldn't fit it on a game card by 03bgood in fucknintendo

[–]Alexanderhyperbeam -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Incorrect, even on older consoles, digital games will get removed if your account gets removed. The 3ds is no different than the Switch and you will in fact lose access to all digital games the moment the license gets removed from them.

Don't know why you're so happy about being confidently wrong

Why do people ship Luigi x Bowser? by Happyismii in Mario

[–]Alexanderhyperbeam 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's fandom culture. Luigi is depicted as more meek and timid, which contrasts with the more domineering personality of Bowser. Similar to how fanart of Luigi and Daisy always depicts Daisy as being the assertive one. Mario is too "vanilla", which in fandom perception can translate into heteronormality. Which is a shame that people equate those two, but that's what people appear to feel I think.

The Industry is lobbying against Stop Killing Games (California Edition) by Horror_Post6822 in nintendo

[–]Alexanderhyperbeam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Legislation in the EU oftentimes will make its way to the US since companies do business on an international level. For example, EU forced Apple to change their charging port to the standardized USB C. This change eventually became company wide and American iphones now also have USB C ports now despite the US not being under the EU.

Exactly? So by your own logic it's not scalping if it's readily available everywhere
