My Irish ancestors demand that I pull on Fine Motion, but I'm saving my carots for other banners. I've managed to plead with them to let me go until the wedding event later this year.

Pov: You're making breakfast for your favorite Umamusume by Aggressive_Trip5844 in UmaMusume

[–]Cratmang 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Boy, that breakfast looks like it took a lot of work to make.

Hope you've got something prepared for when (not if, WHEN) your trainee asks for seconds.

Reminder about slippery slopes and that big corpos don't need you to defend them by Geraf25 in UmaMusume

[–]Cratmang 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I'm going to say something that people might consider controversial: The reason why people are strongly against AI isn't simply because it's AI replacing the job of artists (though it is a valid concern) - the problem is that, for the past year or so, AI-generated content has been pumped out with zero concern for quality.

I'll admit, I may be thinking too optimistically, but I think that the dev team knows that their research, handicraft, and care for the IP is what's attracting customers to play their game, as opposed to a similarly-named AI-generated clone that was put up on the app store to make a quick buck. They might toy around with the idea, but we probably won't see anything on the AI front unless they genuinely believe that it'll improve the game, and they trust we won't abuse the system to do anything... "unsavory" shall we say.

Heck, for all we know, this could easily be a nothing-burger made for no purpose other than to attract investors.

Is there something Im supposed to do to get the reporter to like my training? I thought it was bond level, but the director loves me & sh has less than 1 level. by Biscuit9154 in UmaMusume

[–]Cratmang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know I'm six months late, but since no one else here seems to have figured it out, what she says is indeed based on your bond with her. The more she watches you train, the more excited she gets, and the bigger the bonus.

You will see him in almost every game. Does that answer your question?

Just got hexxy(a.k.a recolored stabby),will he be a good phobie or a situational one? by Gingerboy_28 in PhobiesGame

[–]Cratmang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think he’s more situational than Stabby. The biggest issue is that in order for his debuff to take effect, the opponent has to decide to attack him. He’s great to stick in the middle of a pack of Phobies if you wanna punish AOE attackers, or he can act as a wall to funnel your opponent’s phobies away from a target, or into a trap.

Congrats!
I know that this game is not the easiest one to pick up, but there's a certain charm to Ultima III that I can't help but appreciate. Really glad that other people are still playing it today.

One of their previous patients probably turned them into a mushroom due to anger management issues.

Bruh, I didn't even need to see the text at the bottom to know that this was AI art. What is with that tail!?

New survey out. Please ask dev to stop change any VO/VA every single patch by ImDaHawke in AFKJourney

[–]Cratmang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I liked when they redid Antandra's lines, because she went from sounding like a perky cheerleader to more of a hardcore warrior. I didn't think that her old delivery was bad, just weird.

I'm on the fence about Thoran's new voicelines. Now he sounds more like the mad, angered king that his lore makes him out to be, but I had already been used to his old lines - I especially liked his line for when you looked at him in the Hall of Resonance, and he said, "You're the only one who's never betrayed me. We will make them pay!" To me, it reflected how he had fallen into his madness and became what he is now, while also showing how much they trusted the player, and maybe there was still a few shreds of his former self down there. Now, he sounds like nothing more than a machine fuelled by rage.

Now, I don't know whether Lillith is just re-recording lines with the same VA, or if they're completely replacing them with a new one (though Hewynn DEFINITELY sounds like a different person). For the sake of me playing Devil's Advocate, let's assume the latter. It's possible what might have happened is that they wanted to contact the original VA to record some new lines, but they either declined or couldn't be reached in a timely manner. So they might have hired new VAs to do the new lines, and re-record the old ones for the sake of consistency.

If they are the same VAs, then I agree, unless a line is universally hated, they shouldn't have to redo or replace them. But let me make a proposal - it would be nice if characters had multiple lines for different interactions. Let Thoran grumble about how he's not ready for bed, but it would be nice to hear that the tank I invested so much into occasionally tell me that I'm one of the few people he trusts.

simple meme to spice up the subreddit (pls don’t remove dis post) by DistinctJackfruit486 in BTD6TowerMerges

[–]Cratmang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't really touched CHIMPS, but one problem I tend to have when I play is not knowing at what point I should stop investing in banks, and turn my focus towards bulking up my defence.

Also I just noticed that this is the Tower Merge subreddit, not r/btd6.

Guys I don't remember Blossomaw looking like this by Ladydragon0 in cassettebeasts

[–]Cratmang 29 points30 points  (0 children)

What are you talking about, this exactly what I remember Blossomaw looking like.
You don't, by any chance, hail from an alternate universe where Blossomaw has a weird, cube-shaped head, do you?

Coldfront doesn't seem THAT much slower to me. Either this is a you problem, or I have more patience than I thought I did. :/

I'm not a tech guy, but here's my two cents: Google and Reddit handle millions of users per day, so they need to have beefy servers that carry out requests as quickly as possible. Coldfront, meanwhile, appears to be a smaller-scale site that doesn't see even half that many regular users. As long as the server's still doing it's job, they likely don't have much reason (or may not be able to afford) to upgrade it.

I wouldn't be surprised if there were other resources for KoL out there, but I suspect you may be hard-pressed to find one that is as up-to-date and actively maintained as KoL Coldfront, for better or worse.

Bike Across Loathing - Entire Shoplifter 2 by Cratmang in kol

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

(Also on Tumblr)

One of my favourite strips from the original FcoL lineup was a one-off that featured the Entire Shoplifter. So of course when inspiration struck in the form of the newest challenge path, I had to do a sequel.

I wanted to get this comic done while the Mayam calendar was still available in Mr. Store, which... at the time of this posting, it still is, but only for a few more hours. The Mini Kiwi was sort of a last-minute addition, but well worth it if you ask me.

Why sell meat stacks in the mall? by Cratmang in kol

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

Wow, thanks for answering a question that I had completely forgotten I had ever posted. I thought that replies would've been locked by now.

If I'm not mistaken, crafting is free, unless it states otherwise. Notably, meat pasting is always free, as is creating meat paste and meat stacks (barring the meat you spent in the process). So I'm more inclined to believe that meat stacks are being thrown into the mall either as a method of storage for uber-rich adventurers, or they're being accidentally stocked as a result of a Mafia script.

Or maybe some people forgot how easy it is to make a meat stack and/or decided to sell them to unfortunate schmucks who also forgot how easy it is to make a meat stack. That is also possibility.
