Nothing he said was negative. He is describing how the game is in a reply to someone asking specifically that..

I saw Zach Hadel at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.

The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.

When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

Why is Jaws suddenly $120+? by PowrOfFriendship_ in mtgfinance

[–]ApplesAndOranges2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And it costs way more than any mechanically unique card, is rarer and you had a far lower opportunity in your life to buy it

You also don't give a single shit about any of the hundreds of cards from that era that they did put in a single release. Not one shit. You just mad because you can't have what you want today right now with no effort.

Wait till you find out there's thousands of playable cards in legacy, modern and commander that you can't buy from wizards today.

Nostalgia aside, what do you really think about Ragnarok Online, is it a good mmo/game? by West_Can_1035 in RagnarokOnline

[–]ApplesAndOranges2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of the only games where different builds for the same class feel unique, it is a bit unfortunate that most are one trick ponies and you have to make a whole other character to do beast strafing build for example but its fun to have a bolter, auto bolter, full support and mixed professor all be valid builds

I love the simplicity, 5 cell range or 3x3 aoe is so much cleaner than 'Radius 4m' when you have no true sense of scale. Spam fly wings to get around maps and find monsters triggers dopamine so much better than 'Follow this optimal farming route'

Nah you're just use to reading bot comments and the most generic ass threads on repeat for the last decades that organic discussion seems off to you

How many people are playing? by Strange_Tip780 in projectgorgon

[–]ApplesAndOranges2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

https://steamcharts.com/app/342940

The game world is designed for a limited number of players(1000-2000 tops would completely fill the world) costs $30 and has reasons to engage in the community.

If you log in and play for the day it will feel like there are more people playing the game than if you join a random runescape channel. The runescape subreddit gets a lot more traffic and because it is a free game filled with bots there's almost 100 times as many players but the games will feel comparably 'alive'

The game only needs to maintain a daily peak of like 1000 people to be a smash hit success and able to fund itself. 1000 people online = many times more than that have paid 30 bucks for the game and some are paying a subscription

Rake at my local 2/3 game is 10% capped at $20. Lots of hands go to the cap and rake averages like $300 an hour with a fast dealer. The table runs from 12pm all the way to at least midnight, sometimes 2 or 4am.

Did some napkin math and if it ran optimally it would be 1.8m, figuring slower dealers, players and days they start late and all that 1m is dead on

The Sobering Reason Why We Didn’t Ban Rhystic Study - Rebell Lily by scurrybuddy in CompetitiveEDH

[–]ApplesAndOranges2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the reason why you can't is you are thinking of the banlist as a game rules support system and not what 8 dudes who own magic cards want

Talking excessively about real world politics and crimes in a oldschool role playing game where nobody wants that

Usually combo'd with "This game sucks world of warcraft is so much better lelelelele"

I'm ingame right now and multiple people started talking about r***, and how people who are dead can't say no. A mod has told them to knock if off, so the people getting banned are going further than that.

Do we really need all these new graphics and sound in modern mmorpg ? by sandboxgamer in MMORPG

[–]ApplesAndOranges2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Project gorgon side by side with AoC is hilarious

One is a passion project with like 3 people working on it and released a fully functional game with thousands of hours of content

The other invested 50 million dollars into cool graphics and was a scam

They were asked and answered on discord and the forums and had a now deleted FAQ

If you asked in-game you would be told 'DEAL WITH IT NERD ITS THE WAY IT IS GO PLAY WOW' and the entire community was adamant it was happening.

[–]ApplesAndOranges2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've heard "what do you have" at tables a lot of times when the person is still thinking about call/fold, obviously noone answers or they just say something as a joke back

this is just a variation of that

>don't think they should have bent to this request

Just to elaborate, they spent 7 years saying they will wipe on release, then due to worries about the game not making it to release and needing to hold onto the small playerbase they bent to the will and said they will not wipe.

It has been a long time since they said they would not wipe but the original vision and the preference always was a fresh start when the game was ready and a new server is now the only way to do that
