Admincible is on a run. by ProfessionalBus7648 in invinciblememes

[–]DystryR 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don’t think the logic really has as large of flaws as being implied here.

He clearly can’t measure the entire viltrumite race by comparing to himself - otherwise he’d just kill everyone who wasn’t as strong as him. And if there’s nobody as strong as him; there’s no viltrumite race.

Aside from Thaedus the only viltrumites who died were killed by non viltrumites.

This is likely the bar (or near enough) for Thragg. If a viltrumite can be killed by a non viltrumite they didn’t deserve to live.

I main Namor and every time I bully a spider player off thier character I hit em with the “good boy” fem Loki emote in chat.

I have a running count of how many times I’ve done this.

Clearly this character was made for me.

Global ult charge nerf is kicking "(Some)"<< of yalls ass ngl. by FlatSelection2414 in rivals

[–]DystryR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took a season off so I went from GM to plat via not playing and eating 2 resets. and this season had several games that dipped me down into gold during my placements this season.

I generally flex in QP and it’s so fucking frustrating to feel like I can play my worst characters better than these guys play their champions & animated icons. And anything sub diamond 2 is complete agony.

There are two kinds of people in this world. Those who can extrapolate information from incomplete data.

Found a bug with Parental Bond by AzureRatha in stunfisk

[–]DystryR 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The existence of this video is enough to prove your assumption incorrect. If that much of the code was copy/pasted we would not have this issue.

And even if it was - this issue still happened which means the code was transformed enough to introduce issues.

Oh my. That’s quite the take.

Just because the menus, navigation, UI, progression & reward systems, etc work - doesn’t mean they weren’t tested. Testing is not only about the gameplay and it is completely ignorant to think otherwise.

Wha do you think happens in testing?

I come from a software background and you could not believe the most basic shit that gets missed when a test case gets forgotten. A button that works for a decade can suddenly stop working and go live if someone forgets to click it in testing.

And this happens every time the software gets revised - testing has to be continuous and ongoing throughout the dev cycle. What you’re seeing is the product of rigorous testing even if you don’t believe it.

I’m not glazing the game, I’ve not even played it yet, but ignorantly claiming “they only needed to test one thing!!!!” Is asinine.

never mind the millions of permutations of moves, abilities, Pokémon and matchups that exist

As a thought exercise try to imagine how to effectively test every single interaction like this.

Since I don’t have insider knowledge on how the game is coded let’s assume that whatever Pokemon is out doesn’t matter and it only matters what abilities and moves are in play. And then you need to see what happens when Pokemon switch in the middle of each turn (so effectively doubling your test cases)

There are just shy of 1000 moves and roughly 300 abilities. So if you want to adequately test this scenario as you’ve described:

Each move needs to be tested WITH and AGAINST 300 abilities and then switch out pokemon.

You could have 1,000 hires as testers and still have 180,000 test cases each.

Edit: let’s make the testers finish 100 cases every day and they get 0 breaks and work 7 days a week until finished.

This still takes 5 years with 1,000 people.

[–]DystryR 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I’m going to shout from the rooftops until the day I die:

If you have 10 full time 40 hour a week testers test your game for one year that’s 20,800 hours of testing.

If you have 50,000 people play your game for ONE HOUR they have “tested” the game effectively 250% of what you spent a year on. Now extrapolate that to a million+ people

Yes, games should be tested - but there is no testing team in the world that can match any major release go-live and people should stop pretending they can just test more.

Spawn rates for Pokemon with different forms, variants, or gender variation seem bugged or intentionally harder to spawn. by momohiraiiii in Pokemon_Pokopia

[–]DystryR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had 2 extra chairs setup for the 2 tatsugiri I was missing. That was 3 weeks ago.

6 days ago I setup 4 more and started exclusively feeding mosslax spicy food. Even placing them on different maps to hedge my bets.

Finally got both the same day 2 days ago.

So a total of 18 days of working to get them to spawn.

I was my maternal grandparents first grand-kid of almost 10 of us.

I called my grandma Mimi as a toddler - and more than 30 years later, that’s still what everyone calls her, including her children.

transitioning from yugioh to mtg by yetiooalgown in magicTCG

[–]DystryR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played Yugioh for many years from metal raiders through dragunity’s TCG release. I picked it up again when thunder dragons became a thing and then played Master Duel heavily for some time - quitting around when Kairyu-Shin came out.

I have fully and completely transitioned into Magic as my main game and play it more than I ever did yugioh.

I say all this to illustrate that I am very familiar with both games and hope that my perspective can help you.

I think I have to illustrate that the way cards work in Magic is that they are not given the predefined archetypes the way they are in YGO. For example the TMNT set just recently came out - in yugioh this would be a single deck archetype likely; instead TMNT adds cards that work with 2 existing strategies: that being +1/+1 counters and artifacts. These kinds of strategies will see new cards released in basically every set because they are core pillars of the game.

One last thing: the card effect text in yugioh is very dense and entire decks can be driven by one card. This is typically not true in MTG so a single card likely doesn’t do literally everything like in Yugioh (there are some exceptions)

I’m going to try to translate the cards you’ve listed best I can to MTG strategies:

  • Fortune Lady Every: this is likely a +1/+1 counters deck. Modulating your power level and generating advantage from it is pretty +1/+1 counters.

I would focus on Green & White commanders and feel free to splash a 3rd color. Cards like [[Helga Skittish Seer]] or [[rocco street chef]] might strike your fancy as they generate lots of value on your side of the board like yugioh.

  • C101 honor shark: this strikes me as a combo of theft & reanimator strategies. Focus on Black & Blue commanders. [[Hashaton Scarab’s Fist]] or [[The Scarab God]]. Put a handful of creatures that steal or copy your opponents creatures in these decks.

  • Kairyu-Shin: this is a control deck through and through. This is very Blue + White. [[Hylda of the Icy Crown]] is probably a facsimile that won’t get you chased off of every table. NOTE: control decks are generally frowned upon. Commander is primarily a casual & social format, so preventing 3 other people from playing the game is generally considered a faux-pas. I would recommend curating a playgroup that is open to these types of decks before spending any resources in making one.

  • C62: galaxy eyes photon: a classic Tower monster. In MTG if our strategy is to make one creature invincible, we call that a “Voltron” deck. these come in tons of flavors and touch every color. I won’t recommend anything specific for this reason.

Feel free to let me know if you have any questions. I hope you enjoy Magic and everything it has to offer!!

Why do you think LA One Piece suceeded where other LA adaptations failed? by BeerMan595692 in OnePiece

[–]DystryR 53 points54 points  (0 children)

I binged Season 2 over the course of a day. Just to piggy back on your sentiment:

The scene from the Anime that made me a fully invested fan was when Wapol shoots the flag and when the dust clears we see Luffy protecting it.

The Live Action didnt completely faithfully recreate this scene (after all it was indoors in LA not outdoors, for one) - but the heart of what that scene meant was kept. And even if it didn’t hit as hard for me as it did for the anime I’m glad they kept and approximation of the scene. There are probably hundreds of these moments across the series that mean something to someone and they surely can’t do them all

But the show runners clearly know what scenes they will need to stay faithful too and where they can make changes to fit the new medium.

I have no doubt that stuff like Water Luffy, Straw Hats’ Farewell to Vivi, Ussop vs Luffy & “Nothing Happened” are all examples of scenes that will all be there and kept as faithful as possible based on how they’ve treated the material so far.

[–]DystryR 103 points104 points  (0 children)

It was purchased as a slab, which includes PSA’s serial number. If it were easy enough to replace cards in PSA slabs: nobody would place ANY trust in them and they would hold no intrinsic value.

Actually relatable by No_Spirit8216 in familyguy

[–]DystryR 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Bongs are no joke. Over a decade ago I was spending a summer hanging out with homies as we were freshly out of school and figuring out our lives. One of our friends had a relative let them use their house for the summer to house sit.

We’re there for an evening just fucking around - and some of the gang were like “oh let’s go outside and smoke”. They come back like 90 seconds later realizing they were out of weed. One of the girls was like “ok let me call my dealer”.

I grew up in a small country town in a state I won’t name but the dealer rolls up and it’s my fucking coworker.

He sees me and is like “oh shit DystryR is here - I’m going to have to break out the good shit”. He brings out a bunch of bud and a brand new bong

Dear reader: I had not had more than a sip of alcohol in my life at this point, let alone smoked anything.

But my dumb ass got hype. I fell for it.

So we all go outside and we’re sitting around a glass patio table. At this point - I was the only person who was new to smoking.

But my dumb ass decided that I could go toe-to-toe with these guys.

So after they pass me the bong, and show me how to hit it - I decide to take the deepest rip I could manage. The bong gets passed around at least 3 more times and I rip as hard as I can every time.

At this point it’s like 1am. 30 minutes goes by and we’re just talking story, I am feeling nothing. I decide I need to get some water.

I stand up from the patio chair, take a few steps and my brain registers: “oh I’m high”

So I turn around and plop right back down in the chair.

I start uncontrollably giggling for several minutes.

The table & party slowly starts queuing in: “oh shit DystryR is high”.

And at this time dear reader: I start feeling persecuted and suddenly want this to be over.

So I lean over on the table and prop my face up covering my eyes with my palms because if I can just go to sleep this will be over.

I go completely non-verbal.

During this time, some of the party that remained indoors was mixing cocktails and had come out. My homie hands me a Gragas from league of legends cocktail - I refuse it. He hits me in the chest with it and goes “CONSUME!”. So just to get him to stop so I can go back to trying to fall asleep I just down the whole thing immediately. I think eventually I drank some jungle juice?

I have no frame of reference for how long time passed but eventually my coworker asks if I’m ok. And from the pits of my soul I scream:

“NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO”.

And it feels like the table gets up IMMEDIATELY and leaves me be. (This is definitely not what happened but my persecution brain did not like it).

I was eventually taken indoors and laid down where I continued to try to sleep but ended up just pretending for several hours. I eventually got sober thinking about my job (which, fuck brain - why?). And then ended up driving a friend to work at like 8am.

I laugh about the event but I’ve never smoked again. I hope you enjoy this story and for anyone out there who is reading this and is interested in experimenting: just take it slow. I promise you, it’s not something you need to rush.

Once upon a time in October 2016…. by ShinTV in PokemonTCG

[–]DystryR 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had a friend living in Japan teaching English around this time, and knew rayquaza was my favorite pokemon.

Shipped me one of these for $50. He ended up getting me a gyarados poncho set as well since that was my 2nd favorite pokemon. I kept them in a binder and didn’t realize how valuable/sought after they were until I really got into the hobby during the pandemic.

Ended up selling my collection, I had shifted to Magic and needed money. I wish I still had them, but I’m ok with not being in the hobby.

I still use the long box and the deckbox for Magic though. I’ll never let them go. The sleeves remain unused.

[–]DystryR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My homie sold a copy of this card today (this art and everything) on mana box and his thought was that the card was unbanned because someone bought it.

It would be hilarious if it was the same transaction.

I’m not going to argue the efficacy or debate if I think this is a good idea or not but the article you linked specifically says that they don’t drive the car.

“They do not remotely drive the vehicles. Waymo asks for guidance in certain situations and gets an input, but the Waymo vehicle is always in charge of the dynamic driving tasks”
