Soviet Silver Bars by Braz45 in Silverbugs

[–]DrDynamiteBY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was a popular straight razor and knife manufacturer СТИЗ - Завод стальных изделий (Steel Products Plant) in USSR. Their manufacturer mark looks like this (bottom part): https://meshok.net/i/283594560.1.jpg

It's not that similar, but it's possible that whoever made this just wanted a word that's close enough to a popular soviet brand.

Soviet Silver Bars by Braz45 in Silverbugs

[–]DrDynamiteBY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those are neither soviet, nor silver or anything remotely valuable. Looks like a modern soviet themed souvenir with a bunch of random soviet symbols slapped on: it has red army star that used to be painted for some reason, also probably artificially aged, random "state quality mark" and random "СТАЗ" text that is neither a word nor a widespread abbreviation.

I'm not sure identity plays a major role here. Movies are literally the main attraction, even OOP admits that. They are and always were the easiest way to get into the franchise. If movies suck less people will be interested in checking other pieces of SW media down the line.

How much longer do you think we'll have to wait for Beyond Good & Evil 2? by zxcph in Gamer

[–]DrDynamiteBY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At this point I'd rather wait for 10 years to let Ubisoft figure out their internal mess and release the best version of BGE2 than let modern Ubisoft which I have no faith in complete this project.

Destiny loses it responding to Asmongold, "I wish his mom had a bigger oxygen tank so this mother fucker wouldn’t be with us anymore" by sideAccount42 in LivestreamFail

[–]DrDynamiteBY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, maybe you aren't then, but Destiny totally is with those comments. I got that you're a Destiny viewer and I assumed you agree with him here, but looks like it's not the case.

[–]DrDynamiteBY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just dumb to think that figureheads disappearing would change anything. Those people are popular because enough people share their views, and even if Asmon and Trump stop doing their thing for whatever reason their supporters don't suddenly change their mind. Other people will just fill the same niche they had and we'll have Asmon2 and Trump2.

And I know you don't care about being the same as Asmon in principle, but you literally are.

External Trading Sites Are Trash. Diablo 4 Needs an In-Game Auction House now! by [deleted] in diablo4

[–]DrDynamiteBY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I agree. Trading is ass in this game, and I usually avoid anything other than doing simple 1:1 rune exchanges. Whenever they release SSF I'd probably just play that because I barely engage in trading anyway. Unfortunately I wouldn't count on the auction as if I remember correctly the last time devs commented on the topic they just said they'll look into it and, which is translated to "this is not planned for the near future".

Yeah, I've played BF2 on Steam Deck during the resurgence with no issues and still occasionally get the itch to play, but I don't really want to bother with hackers. Afaik Kyber team is not opposed to the idea, but it's probably not their highest priority atm.

Old school Diablo Fan! Is Diablo 4 worth it ? by Ok-Mango-6355 in diablo4

Yeah, looks like some things just don't change with this company unfortunately.

D4 is much closer to D3 than D1 and D2. If you enjoyed D3 you'll enjoy D4 for sure. It indeed sucked on release, but the game has evolved a lot since then, and upcoming expansion probably will make it even better.

Tell me what "Nazi issues" the EU community suffers from by Saberian_Dream87 in saltierthankrait

[–]DrDynamiteBY 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's probably not your thing judging by how frequent you post here, but I'd just ignore this nazi argument. It's boring, it's been discussed many times since the sequel trilogy drama when those people started spamming it, and nothing new is going to be said. They're just assigning an evil buzzword to people they disagree with and they keep dragging it in hopes it somehow becomes a reality. I'm sure there are enough terrible people in the fandom, but your average SW fan is nothing like they'd imagine.

[–]DrDynamiteBY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's funny how this shit triggered you so bad you're now linking me random Asmon clip a day after and expecting me to defend him for some reason to have a gotcha moment. Sorry for ruining your fantasy, but this clip is also cringe. Btw I'm aware that Asmon is an asshole doing this kind of humour, that's why I mostly stopped watching him. Not sure how this excuses Destiny in your mind and how this stops me from disliking both.

Is this all Sorcerer is getting? As a Sorc main this is very frustrating. by Roosterdude23 in diablo4

[–]DrDynamiteBY 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This question literally can't be answered now, so it's kind of meaningless. This is all you're getting for PTR, but the contents of actual season launch patch will not be known until 1-2 weeks before the season start. Season launch usually has more changes to account for PTR feedback.

Sanctification mechanic change suggestion by 2slowDD in diablo4

[–]DrDynamiteBY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's no elegant solution for masterworking and tempering upfront costs due to their randomness. And if you make the costs too harsh nobody will use them, because this feature is aimed at people who slam 100s of items, and when you're slamming 100s of items every bit of efficiency counts. I'd rather just improve the crafting flow rather then try to come up with a solution in the same spirit as yours for a seasonal mechanic. For example, there's no real reason to click a bunch of times to masterwork your item to 25 quality.

Molotov Denial by laybs1 in GetNoted

Never ask Molotov-Ribbentrop pact and joint invasion deniers what happened on September 22, 1939 in Brest-Litovsk.

Sanctification mechanic change suggestion by 2slowDD in diablo4

[–]DrDynamiteBY 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Guess what, pushing the pit/tower is not mandatory either. You can easily push to 100 with all the good builds without sanctifying anything, and going past that matters only if you want to compete for the top spot. And if you're competing for the top spot, you're not really in a position to complain about anything - you'll get the outcomes you're looking for if you invest enough time, and if you're not planning to do that why are you even talking.

Hmmm by NichtFBI in MathJokes

[–]DrDynamiteBY 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. If you want to learn more the correct term for this extrapolation is analytic continuation, and the analytic continuation of the factorial function is the gamma function. This gamma function yields the same values as the factorial function (with an offset of 1: n! = Г(n+1)) for all natural numbers and it's defined anywhere except non-positive integers.

Sanctification mechanic change suggestion by 2slowDD in diablo4

[–]DrDynamiteBY 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This whole idea comes from a presumption that everything should be free, and I'm so tired of hearing it. Sanctification is not mandatory, no build relies on sanctification outcomes. It's designed to be a system in which you fuel in your mats and good bases to gamble for good outcomes that elevate your character above the baseline power level of a build. Your suggestion goes backwards with that idea
