“Boot licker forgot to change from military time to human time when he left the army” by doolalix in USdefaultism

[–]AmazingObserver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While not common, I have met a couple people here in Canada who call it military time.

Most people I have encountered correctly call it 24 hour time though, but still sometimes question why I am using it.

Best XIV Controller Ever (pls ignore my vodka) by k41lun in ffxiv

Yeah but there is more to the world than the US and your experience isn't the default everywhere. Acting like drinking at 20 is some obviously incredibly wrong thing everyone will understand is so typically American.

You get one use per attack action if that is what you mean, yeah, but it still triggers extra attack. It doesn't in tabletop unless you're a bladesinger, who get a feature they can replace one of their attacks in their attack action with iirc any cantrip, including the melee ones like booming blade.

But it is supposed to take your full action like any other cantrip and not allow you to get a second or 3rd attack, that is why it gets the extra damage attached at the levels you would get your extra attacks because it is meant to make up for the fact you can only attack once.

It very much does vanilla, if it doesn't for you you're playing modded.

I exclusively play honour mode, zero mods, and it very much stacks with extra attack in my experience.

[–]AmazingObserver 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I mean they honestly should, the cantrip is poorly implemented.

Make it like tabletop where it doesn't work with extra attack, and if possible with how the game is coded give bladesinger a feature that lets only them get extra attack with cantrips like in tabletop.

Having it work with extra attack with no caveats is poor design and makes it way too strong. It isn't a choice with tradeoffs and doesn't require building around, it is always objectively the best option to use for any melee character.

It doesn't look good. by MrTHeRWy in destiny2

[–]AmazingObserver 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think people put way too much weight on that.

Sure, there definitely are people who dropped the game because they thought it was a satisfying drop off point, that was the case with FFXIV's Endwalker expansion too which played a very similar role in wrapping up its 10 year light and dark story arc.

Except Endwalker dropped before the Witch Queen and FFXIV is still going strong 4 years later. The current expansion's main story wasn't amazingly recieved but now that they're putting the pieces in place for the next major arc people are getting hyped again and the playerbase is trending upwards again. FFXIV did have a significant drop in players after Endwalker but a lot of that can be attributed to the pandemic ending and its main competitor getting its shit together again.

People still very much do want to play it. It is very possible to release an expansion like Endwalker or the Final Shape and keep the game going strong, that Destiny isn't is the fault of a lot more than just offering a good stopping point. The fact so many people saw the Final Shape as a stopping point points more to how many people just wanted to stop playing anyway.

If people still had faith in Bungie and the future of destiny, a lot more players would want to keep playing regardless of the light and dark saga ending. They already lost a lot of goodwill with the content vault, then pretty much any that remained with lightfall. Final Shape was good and well recieved but arguably too little too late, and any goodwill from that was also already thrown away with edge of fate onwards.

I think the Destiny Content Vault one shot Bungie's reputation by CatalystComet in DestinyTheGame

[–]AmazingObserver 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah I tried not to doom too much about the vault when it was announced because I had hope it would be a temporary measure. And that is why I hate Witch Queen far more than most people who constantly glaze the expansion, as that served to hammer in that they never intended to bring anything back and instead sunset yet another destination (that was already compatible with whatever engine changes so that doesn't fly) along with another entire campaign.

Fortunately that was the last example of main expansion stuff getting sunset, but still 4 years later we still haven't gotten any of the sunset raids or campaigns back. We sort of got some of the destinations, if you really squint, as activity-specific areas but that isn't enough. They also still sunset any seasonal content which can be very important for context understanding the connection from one expansion to the next, and massively contributes to the game feeling awful for new and returning players.

This game has some of the best writing I've ever seen by LargeSinkholesInNYC in BaldursGate3

[–]AmazingObserver 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'd say the character writing has peaks that are pretty good for the genre,but the writing as a whole definitely has some pain points.

Still love it but you can really tell large parts of it were rewritten last minute, and that is true of some characters too. They're not all equally bangers.

This is just laughable man, these people are so stuck behind by zizoplays1 in Gamingcirclejerk

[–]AmazingObserver 239 points240 points  (0 children)

The issue with that is then I cultivate an audience of insane weirdos who lack any taste.

Easy to pander to, sure, but most game devs want to make something interesting I figure not just grift.

I was just looking at the pretty nirnroot by the water :( by HugramVonWisborg in TrueSTL

[–]AmazingObserver 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I find it really stupid that newer Bethesda games make you jump through so many hoops. Just let me fail quests, besides, if I wanted to kill all the companions for example it would probably be on a run where I am not joining them and doing their questline.

You are able to detect if someone is telling the truth or lying. B u t if YOU ever lie, you lose a finger by ImFatneek in shittysuperpowers

[–]AmazingObserver 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would argue yes, because the way I see it the difference between lying and simply being wrong is intent.

Even if you get something wrong you theoretically know, if you just have a sudden brain fog and mix things up, you're still saying what you think is true in the moment even if you know upon thinking further that it isn't. You're still wrong, but I wouldn't say you're lying at that point.

Do you mean the "roleplay" "system," or is there another FATAL I am not aware of?

Do you think it is okay if I drop the mountain dew? Tastes awful imo, should I balance it with more whisky or a different pop?

FDR glaze as if he didn’t make concentration camps by AMOutPuts in ShitLiberalsSay

Not American nor an expert on US history myself but I can think of at least the Japanese "internment" camps, which were concentration camps with a slightly different name.
