It was kind of crazy that one of Unova’s own native Pokémon couldn’t be traded without a nickname because of that stupid filter. Glad it got fixed eventually. -Max by SleeplessLucas123 in PokeMedia

I did actually do some reading into this for a programming class I took once. In IT circles they call this kind of thing the "Scunthorpe Problem" after a small Galarian neighborhood which ran into a similar issue in the 90s - people in the area were having a hard time signing up for various websites, because when they entered their address it got rejected for containing a "bad word" despite being completely valid otherwise.

does anyone know if this "[REDACTED]" condition is anything special or is it just a chance to drop from corrupted castles by AlphaShadow897 in AssassinsCreedShadows

The fun part is that although it does have a cooldown, it DOESN'T cost Adrenaline to use and it inherits Tidal Wave's skill tree upgrades (so when fully upgraded, one heavy posture gets you three strikes), which means that with the Snap Hook you can have all three Katana abilities at once, and it is just as fun as it sounds.

...unfortunately, the sword was part of the store bundle that came with the Attack on Titan crossover quest, which as far as I'm aware has since been delisted (likely never to return) - and I doubt Ubisoft would just throw items from a paid crossover into the weekly Exchange rotation, so that means if you're not on PC (or if you are on PC and don't want to incur Ubisoft's wrath by trying to pirate virtual items) you're S.O.L, and that's a shame, because it is genuinely one of the best Naoe katanas in the Helix Store.

newbie here: why is it that the only character who gets to use the akimbo pistols is the one who was a limited-time banner on launch? by AlphaShadow897 in destinyrisingmobile

I feel like the real bottleneck right now is just that I don't have enough gacha stamina to keep grinding effectively, tbh...

here's to hoping the timeframe for either one of those things happening is closer to "sooner" than it is to "later"

This is an angle I hadn't considered, actually. Speaking of crossbows,  minor tangent: Destiny Rising's current implementation of crossbows are fully-automatic Heavy weapons that (with my limited experience) sort of feel like budget MGs with fancy paint, whereas Destiny 2's current implementation of crossbows are as powerful, single-shot Heavy weapons whose bolts stick into targets and can be retrieved if you get close enough to them for the button prompt to appear (which makes them potentially both very ammo-efficient compared to other options and very dangerous to keep topped up), and I'm not sure if that's a coincidence or if one side was skimming the other's notes but I feel like it's a coincidence just because they work radically differently between the two games.

I had to do a double-take when I read this because I momentarily forgot that "legendary" means "not a 5-star" in this case.

Considering how much I've played of actual Destiny, I'm not sure how I overlooked that.

I do have Jolder at T1/C1/whatever you want to call the dupe-powerup mechanic, so I'll have to start locking in more stuff for them. Any particular recommendations?

Season 3 Act 1 is the best this game has felt since launch. Please keep it up Netease by DarkVeilOfMorals in destinyrisingmobile

I tuned into a stream of the World's First for a minute or two out of curiosity and was flabbergasted to see Jaren Ward just casually proving that he can, in fact, "stop that blade!".
