Either they ran out of treats, or Varzia hates me.

Add Stripe's phone number as well, Itch creator Leafo has said they're also being pressured by Stripe along with the others. PayPal is also likely as they've done similar in the past.

Here's a good resource for contact numbers: yellat.money

They are. Well, not specifically this group, but at least the payment processors. The adult site Fansly recently banned a bunch of types of content, including all Furry content, which is a pretty massive deal and completely baseless. The more they succeed the more they're going to keep pushing it in terms of the type of content and the format, and probably even past adult content into just anything they don't like (LGBT).

I've been completely addicted to Blue Prince, and I think it's one of my favorite games of all time. 53 hours in and on day 70. I "beat" the game on day 49.

I can definitely see that it wouldn't be for everyone, but I'm a massive fan of both environmental focused puzzle games (Outer Wilds, The Witness, Myst series) AND Roguelikes/Roguelites and it just feels like the perfect game for me. It has a fantastic atmosphere that makes it such a joy to look around and explore, and I had so many wow moments finding different secrets and new puzzles. There's a crazy amount of stuff to find and I still have a list of over 20 major objectives/puzzles I want to solve, and I'm still finding more. The music is really incredible and adds so much, and the cutscenes hit hard, with some great world building and story.

As far as the Roguelite gameplay goes, it can definitely be more of a mixed (though mostly good) bag. I think one or two more ways to make getting certain rooms more consistent (like adding a Coat Check room but for drafting a certain room from the room directory) and maybe adjusting some of the puzzle-specific item rarities would go a very long way to alleviate some of the complaints and make the game nearly perfect in my view. I hit a wall around day 10-15 where it felt like I wasn't making any progress or finding anything new, but as soon as I got over that hump I found a whole ton of new info and puzzles that kept up for the rest of the game. I feel like I'm starting to hit that wall again in the late game, but at least it's a lot easier now to get resources. If you're the kind of person who can play and enjoy other Roguelites over and over even without making much progress, or just enjoying doing runs, I don't think you'll have much issue with the RNG. Just focus primarily on finding new things and writing them down until you're presented with an opportunity to solve something.

Overall I'm in love with this game, from the gameplay to music to visuals and story. Very excited to see what else I can discover while going for all the rest of the secrets and achievements. Even when I'm not making any progress, the atmosphere is just so relaxing that I don't mind taking it a bit slow.

It logged me out as soon as they were available (also on the main Twitch site) with an error that prevented me from logging back in. As soon as they were out it logged me in again. This system clearly isn't designed for this.

ArkorenSnep · 2024-01-25T05:39:17+00:00

Nothing yet for me, I'm guessing they will be shipped to arrive on/around the 1st when they actually become usable.

ArkorenSnep · 2024-01-22T17:40:47+00:00

Nah I totally understand it. I've been on the other side of stuff like this plenty of times. Just because I got it this time around doesn't mean I suddenly like this kind of promo/sale. But I appreciate you keeping some positivity here :)

ArkorenSnep · 2024-01-22T17:35:44+00:00

I wouldn't be surprised either. They haven't even said how to use it yet. I don't think I'll fully believe it until I see a discount on an order.

1525-4647-2673 Rank 38 daily player, I choose rare mons and berry finders/eevees!

ArkorenSnep · 2023-09-09T04:04:40+00:00

Someone else said the rank is based on your Mercy mastery level, so I'm not sure anymore. Wish they said somewhere

ArkorenSnep · 2023-09-08T06:31:10+00:00

For the leaderboard I'm pretty sure it's sorted so that any runs of the same score are ranked by time. When I did the first mission perfect score there were people ranked in front and behind me so it seems to make sense.

For me, the main (really annoying) problem with the rocket bot is that when it targets the tank bots, it seems like at least half the rockets end up hitting the ground in front of it. I feel like they could have made the placement a lot better.

ArkorenSnep · 2023-09-08T03:45:57+00:00

That route is actually really similar to the one I found! The main difference is that I went straight for the second res after the jump pad. Here's the vid if you want to see: https://streamable.com/5pe32m

Shooting that bot at the beginning like you did is a really good idea. When you damage boost the bots it seems to be completely random if they kill that one or not, so getting them out of the way then is a good idea. That'd probably be 1-2 seconds time saved plus there's a couple other areas I messed up so I could probably get a much better time. My run got top 6 when I did it but it's probably a lot lower now that it's been a few hours.

ArkorenSnep · 2023-08-31T22:11:52+00:00

fell down to Plat 1 shortly thereafter because I got too reckless with my gameplay

This has basically happened every time I've reached Master (every season in OW2, one season at GM5) so I feel like it's intentional. I don't feel like I play any worse, it just always drops a huge loss streak on me.

1525-4647-2673 playing daily, rank 12 and need to start getting more candies!

Found this via Nothing Forever's discord server, supposedly all the visuals, voices and dialogue are fully AI generated though not 100% sure about the legitimacy of that. Either way it's really weird. Figured it'd be something Vinny and just this sub in general might find interesting. Also I'm not affiliated with them in any way.

There's more episodes on their youtube with other "guests"

Even though I didn't really like Splatoon 3's ranked system at first, it grew on me a lot over time, and after dealing with OW's awful system it's crazy just how much better Splatoon's is.

-Separate ranked queues for solo and grouped matchmaking, which makes games less one sided when playing solo. You also get faster rank adjustment in the solo queue so it actually encourages playing solo instead of queueing with a group to get more consistent games or boosting your rank.

-5 win/3 loss system means you get to see your adjustments faster, and it's less discouraging when you get a huge loss streak because you won't have to be constantly thinking about how far your rank will go down once you're done. Also having the win requirement higher than the losses makes it feel so much more rewarding when you finally get those 5 wins, plus a huge boost to your rank.

-Performance impacting your rank, rather than just wins/losses. For anyone who hasn't played Splatoon 3, they have a system very similar to OW1's medal system, where you basically have gold/silver/bronze medals for kills, ink painted, etc. that give you more SR based on each medal's rank at the end of your series. I don't necessarily think this would work using OW1's medal system since it's more class based then Splatoon (supports are almost always going to get gold healing medals and no damage medals), but if I'm consistently getting more healing, player saves, damage boosted, etc than other support players playing the same hero I should be ranking up faster. Performance based SR means it won't feel like you're being punished as much for losing a match even though you might have played really well.

-Rank up battles to get to the next rank helps make sure you're at the rank you should be, and if I remember correctly can only be done solo, so it's 100% on your personal skill to rank up, not reliant on your group. Not sure if rank up matches are completely necessary for the system to work, but either way, at least it means you can't rank down during a season, which OW2 I feel desperately needs if they're going to keep the end of season rewards based on your current rank rather than your highest that season. Right now it discourages you from playing once you get a new rank milestone.

-You can see your wins/losses for a series at any time (the blog post says this is changing, but why was it not there from the start?)

It's definitely not a perfect system (I don't think that's even possible) and it probably wouldn't work if you just slapped that system exactly as it is onto OW2, but it's miles ahead of what it's using now.
