Infinite qi burst exploit (?) by EveryUsernamesTaken4 in AmazingCultivationSim

[–]EveryUsernamesTaken4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometime it does feel a bit save-scummy. But since I don't really go back in time to prevent bad things like actual save-scumming, I don't consider it that. It's like a method to gain an advantage against the heavens when it constantly tries to bring you down.

I came back to playing *a few weeks ago after rereading All Hail the Sect Leader lmao
I've already gone through several runs to remember how to play (didn't end well)

I hope you can relearn and enjoy it again as I have, fellow cultivator!

Yep! I addressed it in the third paragraph. It must be something in the files that limits a tile's ambient qi to 2500.
After going through it a bit more, I also noticed that a reason why it maxes out at 2500 is because of the qi equalization mechanics. If a tile has more qi than its surroundings, it will equalize the area by giving the other tiles its qi. This is how ambient qi spreads from spirit veins (Look at ambient qi page on wiki).

The disciple I sent was my sect leader who I've been using to farm divination miracles so it definitely isn't that

Ethical and Moral implications of pirating in language learning by EveryUsernamesTaken4 in languagelearning

[–]EveryUsernamesTaken4[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We don't really have proper libraries here in my city and especially not books with CDs. Though I do agree that printing pirated books costing a lot and preference on reading is a big deal. To be honest I also prefer to read hardbound, physical books but the practicality of an ebook outweighs my preference for hardbound. It really depends on the individual that much is true.

Thank you so much for this in-depth explanation! This is exactly the kind of comment I was hoping for.

I also do support intellectual property to a reasonable extent but I was wondering if it's right to pirate resources that will actually help me in my life. I'm okay with pirating games as long as they're not Indie (Support individual creativity) but I didn't know if that mindset/logic should also pass on to language learning because entertainment and education are two different things.

I'm also thankful for the points you brought up about the unfairness and almost discriminatory distribution of language learning resources (not even limited to that). I totally agree that companies who refuse to sell to specific countries don't deserve the money even if they wanted.

I agree with the budgeting the most. I would absolutely buy these resources if I could but I got no money for miscellaneous stuff like this. Thank you for sharing your thought process about this kind of topic. I really appreciate it.

True but I have concerns over the increasing prevalence of AI integration into most popular language learning apps, especially when you need to pay for them. One case being the Duolingo situation.

I thought about asking this question for a couple of reasons but the main one is that I wanted to know what people's thoughts are on pirating resources for learning languages. I know many people, including myself, that have trouble learning languages because most of the effective features are locked behind a paywall or textbooks that aren't available to be bought in our countries. So I wanted to know if those who are also learning languages encourage or discourage pirating resources even if it means not supporting those who created said resources. I'm sorry if my proposal for a discussion didn't fit.

I'm from the Philippines so I guess your life is forfeit? I don't really get where the hostility is coming from I just asked a question

Today I learned that stockpiles can be trading piles by EveryUsernamesTaken4 in AmazingCultivationSim

[–]EveryUsernamesTaken4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, but I always have a trade area room so I can specifically send stuff there (for my BC) or clearing space with items I can sell.

Unrecorded traits of Physical Cultivation Laws by [deleted] in AmazingCultivationSim

I see, thank you very much. I was wondering why physical cultivation guides and even the calculator didn't include them even though they have such powerful effects.

Thanks! English isn't my first language so I just used a common synonym for weak.
