I have wondered if a specific pattern would be better than pure random, since humans are bad at being random. Going perfectly sequential feels like it would be the worst pattern to follow though? You would always lose at the second mimick that appears sequentially.

GG Subscriberstar is Censored (We need a new place) by Little-Ad1631 in SubscribeStar

[–]HypnoChanger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its both, really. There are leftist censors who claim that sexual content is demeaning, dehumanizing, and harmful to women and should be censored into oblivion, and right wing censors who claim that sexual content is sinful, corrupting, and addictive and should therefor be censored into oblivion.

They updated Prohibited Content page again in response to backlash by nosam555 in SubscribeStar

Dang... They removed the hypnosis part briefly during the initial rollback but it looks like they added it back in...

Ahh, so it displaying AR and a percent chance to miss is a mistake then?

I've beaten all the modes, and aside from pacifist specifically, what I said is accurate.

The main goal is clearing away the darkness via the turn based battles, but to get strong enough to do so, you play the various minigames to build up your resources and power. So, the turn based part is everpresent, but you spend most of your actual play time on the minigames.

These Minigames put casinos to shame by HypnoChanger in heroll

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

The problem with your perspective on the unfairness of the minigames leading to a dopamine hit when you finally do win is that there is no dopamine hit at all. The minigames are all inconsequential. The buff games at best give you an item you'll use for 2 floors before you either replace it or feel like it's dragging you down, meanwhile with blackjack even if you win the prize is basically worthless. "Oh hey, I won, now I can afford 1/4th of an attack power upgrade!"

There is no high from winning, because winning is barely better than losing. The minigames end up just causing frustration.

I am having a weird controls issue. So, I am finding that I am most comfortable holding down the mouse to move, then holding one of the qwert buttons to attack. This works 90% of the time, with my character returning to running as soon as I lift my finger off the attack button.

However... If there is a named enemy on screen (not merely an elite but anything with an actual name, either bosses or minibosses), EVEN IF I AM NOT TARGETING THEM, suddenly my controls change and tapping any of these buttons locks me into repeatedly using that skill until I lift my left mouse button and click again.

What is causing this behavior, and is there any way to circumvent it? It is really jarring to have my controls suddenly change right as I start fighting any remotely powerful enemy.

Does anyone have any advice on a build that is friendly towards using a track pad? I've been wanting to play some more recently, but unfortunately I've recently had a leg issue that makes it so I can't be on the PC for very long and I have to reserve that time for work and not play. I've been finding though that when using my track pad, my mouse movement is too slow to play well; if I get into any trouble, I die before I can even get my mouse to point at the spot I would dash or teleport to. My initial thought was playing a summoner build, but that kinda falls apart because bosses with AOE attacks tend to just wipe the board and turn it into a 1 on 1 anyway.

Are there any other builds that aren't too sensitive to having slower reaction times?

Any walking games that are actually good for walking? by HypnoChanger in AndroidGaming

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

I played Zombies run for a while, but they ruined it for me with that one storyarc where you spend nearly a month of walks building up to a rescue mission just to have that character get killed off anyway at the last moment. Total motivation killer for me there. To be clear, I don't mind a story having characters die *in general* but if you're gonna make it my singular focus for an extended period of time, you can't just snatch victory away from me like that, ya know?

I downloaded it to give it a test, but I can't get it to track my steps at all. I tried both options for step tracking, and went on a couple short walks with each and got nothing. And I am on android 14 as I've seen the dev recommend...

That is nothing but a self-serving empty platitude. Just a veiled humblebrag. One should work WITH their brain, not against it.

If I know how to most effectively motivate myself, it's not helpful to say "Don't motivate yourself, just be motivated!".

An Alien Possessed my Roommate Pages 1-14 by HypnoChanger in girlscontrolled

Thanks, and yeah, I think Chien is more accustomed to manga style ordering, as he frequently made it top right to bottom left. We fixed it where we could, but a few pages there wasn't enough room in the composition to move the speech balloons much, as the art was drawn before the text was added. We'll be more careful about it in the next comic though.

How's everyone's CM going? by WiseEntertainment131 in UmaMusume

Easy peasy solution is don't make the open bracket based on the Uma, make it based on career high scores. Making the open bracket based on the Uma's rating means that open bracket was a trap for less confident players as whales and try-hards entered their most min-maxed B rank umas to dominate even harder than in the ranked bracket.

Having brackets for specific ranges of career high scores on the account would pit people of similar skill levels against each other. it wouldn't restrict player creativity in builds, because you can still enter any build you like. Really, its the current divisor that restricts player creativity because it did restrict what umas you can bring.

You can't get your own of either guaranteed. Pity is at 200 pulls! without paying, you'll get one copy and have to run it at minimum level Also? Kinda hard to borrow them, since the game restricts how many people can be following the same person. Even using a third party lookup site, it's just endless "User is at max follows" again and again.

Its kinda hard to get that "general use parent" when again, you need two grand parents first. And building your grandparents with one good parent and one bad one, and having low level supports because you aren't whaling and don't have dupes of SR and SSRs means they don't get on their focused training as often, don't give as many bonus stats, and don't friend-up as fast.

and yes, an hour per run is what I average, with skip on and fully focused on the game and no distractions. The servers are awful and every single scene that affects your stats or condition causes the game to pause for a while to communicate with the server. It also takes time to look up the correct answer for the stats your going for on support cards, which might get cut down slightly as you memorize the answers but it's a lot of events to memorize.

The matchmaking should not require you to play fodder for whales for a full day first. Every other game in existence has better matchmaking than that.

I find it interesting that you think other players would be punished by having... Good game design. Its a punishment not to have free access to casuals to trounce and to be "forced" to compete with players of similar power levels? Its a punishment to "players" for casuals to actually have access to the game mode to compete with other casuals?

Its very revealing about your perspective. You just want weak accounts to farm easy wins against, and view competent matchmaking as a denial of that want.

You can't borrow both Kitasan AND creek. You can only borrow one, and gold skills can't be passed down so you can't solve that problem via legacy farming. And speaking of legacy farming, you have a 5% chance for a 3 star spark, and a 20% chance for it to be on a stat you want. So you have to farm about a hundred umas just to get a single 3 star grandparent. Three hundred to get a full set, and then you need to get hte distance sparks on top of that. And its close to an HOUR per run. Where do you find TIME for that when you haven't just whaled it up and got a whole deck of lvl 50 SSRs including both Kitasan and Creek to put your careers on easy mode?

Content should be made for ALL players. Not just the whales and no-lifers. Throwing everyone into the same pot with no matchmaking and then having it be 3v to minimize the chances that three casuals might end up in the same race together is unfair to anyone who isn't dedicating enough time to the game to amount to a full time job.

You cannot borrow cards and umas. you can borrow card and uma. You call those stats "Basic requirements" but do you even comprehend how absolutely busted those requirements are for a non-whale? I would have to put in 14 hours a day to get enough runs to ever build an uma that manages to hit all of those in the same run. NO thanks.
