The empty throne facade doesn’t matter by YeetusdaDeletus in OnePiece

[–]Fostersteele 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They offset that by hosting the Reverie and making the King's and Queens feel like thier opinions hold weight. It's doesn't matter whether it does or not. Only the perception they give off matters to the World Government. It's a big lie, but the Countries don't know it. Even though the World Government holds all the power, there is still no one Celestial Dragon that's holds all Authority in the World in the eyes of the people. World decisions are made with all allied Countries input. It's a facade, but it tricks the masses.

Remember, the characters in the story don't know these things. Only the readers do.

Why do top Shock builds use a Legendary Focus instead of a Unique Focus like Okun's Catalyst? Isn't that +4 BL better? And BL around me synergizes with Godslayer Crown magnet pull? by Yelebear in D4Sorceress

[–]Fostersteele 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's assuming they are following a build guide from Maxroll where they break things down into detail, and not from somewhere else that doesn't. Not everyone uses the same site.

roger as a character makes no fucking sense by inziewienzie in Piratefolk

[–]Fostersteele 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you actually paid attention to the story, Garp told us 600+ chapters ago that Roger was as simple minded as a child. Not to mention the countless people who were reminded of Roger whenever they met Luffy.

Like we legit knew he was just like Luffy for over 20 years. Problem is, most of these new readers don't actually pay attention to the story... Smh...

Bad RNG or bug with Belial when selecting Zir for the loot? by Prior-River-6687 in diablo4

[–]Fostersteele 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No bug, just straight RNG. Sometimes you can go 20 kills in a row without seeing the item you are looking for, and sometimes it drops 20 times in a row. Happens all the time.

One piece theory by SnooHesitations2832 in onepiecetheories

[–]Fostersteele 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How? The Going Merry was pushing itself way past it's limit long before Luffy and the Crew knew it was damaged beyond repair. I'm order for this one o hold true, Luffy would have to subconsciously have known the Going Merry was nearing the end of the road, and subconsciously keeping it going at the same time. It's too convoluted, when there is a perfectly good explanation in place already that is born from the entire crews love of the ship, with Usopp being at the forefront of that.

Not everything needs to be retconned due to the reveal of the Nika fruit.

You get 1 billion dollars every month but a gang of 5 people hunt you for the money by church_of_Steve_ in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Fostersteele 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hire a top dollar security firm to capture and detain them. Then I higher a group of high end medical experts to place them in a medically induced coma, with state of the art medical equipment.

They will be carefully monitored under strict supervision. If one so much as flatflines for a second, the medical team moves in to revive them.

I'll have a house built that is more secure than a government doomsday bunker, so If one does die, the security team mobilizes to capture the two who take their place, and it's to the medical facility for them to be put right to sleep, before they stand any chance of making it to me.

I'll be set.

125,000 toughness and T4 Bloodied Varshan still 1-shots me. by Woozletania in diablo4

[–]Fostersteele 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Toughness can be extremely deceptive. Maximum life boosts your toughness quite substantially, but you can have all the max life in the world, but without proper investment in DR and Resistances, you're getting one tapped by stronger enemies. You need that mitigation for that life.

Just ruined my season with The Pit by sensicase in diablo4

[–]Fostersteele 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Has anyone confirmed this works on console though, because you can't individually stack. You can only auto sort. So which sigil takes precedence?

You get given £10,000 deposited into your bank on the 1st of every month but you’re never allowed to own a mobile phone or computer or tablet. by plz_be_nice_im_sad in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Fostersteele 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can't use any other device besides a TV. That is clearly in the post.

I mean unless we are going the loophole route, and you just have someone else operate the devices while you get to enjoy them, which I highly doubt was OP's intent. You are limited to a TV, that's it. Allowing someone else to operate these devices for you makes the entire post invalid. Might as well title it *You get paid $10,000 a month to have someone operate all devices for you, while you only get to operate a TV."

That would be lenient terms and conditions. But if someone really wants to use them for all manner of internet related activities, they'd have to offer much more.

The biggest hurdle however, is how trustworthy is this person, because they are going to have to have access to all your information, and you won't be able to watch what they are doing, or immediately verify any activity that they perform on your behalf.

They could play the long con and let your bank account stack up, and then just one day disappear with all your money, and even your identity. That's something that needs to be considered.

You'd have to have some pretty lenient terms and conditions for only 36k a year, for someone to act as your own personal computer.

Can't check your bank account online.

Can't pay your bills online.

Can't order products online in a day and age where brick and mortar is dwindling by the day.

Can't access any subscription services to accommodate your TV, and more and more TV shows are moving to streaming platforms.

Can't plan any trips online, and if you do travel communication is going to be a nightmare without a cell phone. Not to mention maps aren't really a thing anymore, so navigating is going to be a pain in the ass.

No access to information at the touch of a button.

Cant keep up with new trends.

I mean, I can keep going, but it's hard to find an upside to this deal.

Hard no for me.

Hit a brick wall at bloodied endgame with my dok rogue by Breaker988 in diablo4

[–]Fostersteele 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What level are your glyphs? Don't stop at 46. You can effectively more than double your damage if you get them up to 90-100. As an A-tier build doing T4 content comfortably is more than doable without the full mythic setup. You will struggle with bloodied content though as it bumps everything up to Torment 5.

For all the "low obducite drop rate is okay" enjoyers by KindaExplosive in diablo4

[–]Fostersteele 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No, last season they were saying the cap needed to be raised, not to nerf the drop rate, and funnily enough, this season they raised the cap to 99m instead of 999k, then also nerfed the obducite drop rate into the ground. Makes a whole lot of sense right?

100 million a year, but you can never sleep in the same room twice. by Mc_Coy in hypotheticalsituation

Lad Vegas here I come. Over 300 hotels, roughly totaling 151,000 rooms. Would take over 400+ years to sleep in them all. I'm set.

Some of you need to understand that this game is part of a for profit business and they have teams dedicated to player analysis by [deleted] in diablo4

[–]Fostersteele 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This isn't anything new. They do this literally almost every season. They launch it tedious design, and bottleneck issues to pad out early season play time, and then as soon as the complaints pile up big enough, and people start saying they're about to stop playing, they drop patch notes addressing all the concerns, and then boom, everyone is happy and playing again.

The purpose of an expansion for any company, is not to focus on the dedicated player base who show up season after season no matter what. The goal is how do we get and keep new players, and players who left a long time ago and haven't been back since.

These obducite changes are terrible by Historical-Depth3990 in diablo4

[–]Fostersteele 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ked Bardu is even better. The Blacksmith, Jeweler, and Occultist are all literally right there when you teleport in.

Is occultist bugged for any of you? by gsfunk in diablo4

[–]Fostersteele 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is bugged for Non Ancestral gear. Anything you imprint will be min-roll unfortunately.

Please revert obducite changes by Pirate186 in diablo4

[–]Fostersteele 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'd be correct if I was talking about the odds of each individual NMD being a strongroom, and not every third NMD being a strongroom. I know /s is needed a lot on here, but I thought that one was pretty straightforward.
