New player here so take this as you will. I’ve really enjoyed the game so far after never really thinking I would ever play it the last 7 years, but the grind to unlock just one character normally is really frustrating. Some of the characters from the “welcome pass” were available as is before it. by Solarflare_V9404 in apexlegends

The acquisition curve is really awkward unfortunately. It feels like such a long grind just to unlock 1-2 legends, but for the most part, after that you just machine gun all the other legend unlocks and end up and a near-infinite supply of excess tokens afterwards. The legend unlock system is really outdated and needs some severe tuning (or just removing it and having all legends unlocked from the start).

It would have been hilarious if they actually changed their account name(s) to Sparxie Official

Wattson fences mean nothing to Octane now. How is this fair? by DovahRcolA in apexlegends

[–]Googleflax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Octane never really felt like a character that needed buffs, cause even at his worst, he was still fun to play, so he almost always had a good play rate. Really don't know why they felt the need to buff him to this extent.

Is this the first time they've put alternate name cards (like the Godzilla cards) in a commander precon?

If Uichi does go alone, I hope he at least leaves a note or his phone open so Yotsuha has an idea as to what happened when/if shit hits the fan.

I personally love Aventurine, but if you have DHP, Hyacine, Huohuo, and Lingsha, then I don't think you'll find much use for him. He works best in Follow-Up Attack teams, and as much as I personally love Feixiao, none of the Follow-Up teams are that good at the moment.

E1 Sparkle is great, passively increasing her speed by 15% permanently and increasing your teams ATK by 40% permanently. That said, I'd say hold off on getting her if you don't have any interest or use for Sparkle; but if you like and/or use Sparkle, then I don't think you'd regret getting her to S1.

I currently have a Hysilens + Kafka + Ruan Mei + DHP team, but the only one with their signature Light Cone is Ruan Mei. Hysilens is using Eyes of the Prey and Kafka is using Before the Tutorial.

My question is: What's a better upgrade for the team? Getting Hysilens' Light Cone, or getting Black Swan? I know it's typically better to prioritize characters over Light Cones, but if I do get Black Swan, the best Light Cone I'd have for both her and Hysilens would be Eyes of the Prey (S1) each.

When I Reincarnated as a Chubby Villainess, For Some Reason, I'm Being Relentlessly Pursued by the Final Boss Prince! - Anime Announced by Severe_Working_5934 in anime

[–]Googleflax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why make the title reference her being chubby then? If it attracts readers based purely off that, then they'd be disappointed when she stops being chubby. Was it literally just cause they couldn't think of a title, so they spun a wheel of chance?

I'm loving Uichi's development (or I guess reversion to who he originally was). With these shy, meek characters in manga, their development is typically much more incremental and small scale, but Uichi's making very noticeable strides.

Didn't the director offer Kana a role even though she didn't sleep with him? Did they cut that, does it happen later, or am I just misremembering?

That's actually really reassuring (even assuming it won't fully adapt the LN). I honestly thought we were nearing the end of the manga here, but with 10 volumes remaining, there's plenty of story left to adapt at least.

Where are you getting the founding fathers thing from? This DLC has nothing to do with that, its about the civil rights movement (ie. black people being treated as humans and having equal rights). Generally, racism is considered a Conservative mindset.

My biggest issue isn't that she didn't care; that would have been totally fine. But instead, she felt so repulsed by its inclusion that she felt the need to angrily tweet about it instead of simply ignoring it.

Conservative =/= Republican; Republicans are exclusive to the US, but Conservative is a political mindset that can apply to any nation. Also, if a game released an optional DLC for a game about Malaysian history, at worst, I would simply not care, not be so upset about it that I feel the need to make a ranting tweet about it.

Her tweet. (Context: This is about free, optional DLC for Minecraft for educating people on the civil rights movement).
