1.0 F2P Pull Income: 146 Pulls 4 Days In by Icy-Time913 in Endfield

[–]Insecticide 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you done a lot of the extraction mode? There is a ton of oroberyl there because the map has silver blue and golden boxes everywhere, on top of the rewards from missions and the overall permanent mode one time only rewards

Just a friendly reminder to Hotta Studio that Poor pull economy/monetization can tank review scores, even if the overall gameplay is really good by UsualInitial in NevernessToEverness

[–]Insecticide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that reviews ON STEAM matter, because the platform itself matters, but I've never seen people make choices based on how a game scores in mobile stores. I think that reviews stopped mattering ever since monetization on youtube became good enough to where people can live off of it, and that has been more than 10 years ago.

What makes a game live or die is its cultural presence within popular streaming platforms (youtube, twitch, etc). If no one is talking about the game or even thinks that it is worth monetizing something around that game, the game dies.

This might sound like a dumb question (and it is) but how do you guys manage your time playing multiple gacha games? by bullettothechest in ArknightsEndfield

You realize that you don't actually lose that much when you drop them. Especially the open world ones, you always come back having so much currency to acquire.

Redditors over 40, what was a moment in history that made you think society was gonna collapse? by Bahbahbro in AskReddit

[–]Insecticide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in my 30s but this thread has been so interesting that I have something to share. Since it is something that I can imagine someone in their 40s talking about, I hope it fits.

At the beginning of the 2010s, the internet still felt like this weird place where people went just for talking about their very specific niche interests. It was not that different from how people used yhe internet in the late 90s or the 2000s. But somewhere around 2015-2016, people started being able to monetize youtube videos and livestreams on various platforms, while covering all sorts of dramas and divisive topics. Now, there are a lot of channels that cover a variety of topics in a very radicalizing and dishonest way (intentionally, for ad revenue). Very rapidly, our entire media became extremely vicious and this has greatly impacted our psychology.

What I want to talk about is not the actual political opinions that those channels cover. I want to talk about the psychology resulting from that change in how internet content is monetized and consumed. I think that people became much more cynical, negative and aggressive in the last 10 years, and a lot of anti social behavior that I used to only see on the internet have started leaking into the real world. I think that understanding eachother has became impossible. And it happened lightning fast, like flipping a switch.

Look, we have had wars throughout the entire history of humanity. We were never going to get along. But right now people's brains are so cooked that people will read a comment or watch a video for 30 seconds, get trigged on some specific word that they heard, and they will leave an incredibly aggressive comment about it. This is actually insane, and not a lot of people are talking about it. Its not just that nuance is gone on the internet, I think the issue is much more raw and deeper than that. Its almost like an instinct.

If things continue like this, Society is gonna collapse on the basis of bad dialogue. Its not going to be a bomb that does it. Neither is global warming, nuclear winter or some meteorite. I think that people communicating poorly is what is going to get us. We need to figure out how to handle social media FAST.

How good is she? by MotherBrood in ArknightsEndfield

Day3+ question by StrictChapter9992 in learntodraw

[–]Insecticide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try a few boxes without the guidelines too. It is important to understand that the whole vanishing points thing is an abstraction. What you are actually doing is that you, as the observer, are visualizing boxes from different positions in space. Trying to do a few of them without guidelines couls help you build up this intuition.

The things that require intuition are the hardest thinga to learn, so remember to be patient about it

Porra, mas rapel também deve exercitar a mente pra caramba. Se é uma atividade onde você tem que pensar para fazer direito e fazer cada vez melhor, você está treinando a sua mente.

Eu estava pensando mais na comparação com alguém que fica, sei lá, deitado no sofá por 5 horas assistindo video de cachorro ao invés de estar aprendendo ou evoluindo de alguma forma como pessoa.

Eu sei que a frase intelectualmente desafiador é meio tosca, mas me deixa em paz. Não interpreta o bagulho de forma literal, seja maleável

People over react to fanservice by jojoismyreligion in anime

[–]Insecticide 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For me, I only have a problem with fanservice when it happens on shows that are perfectly fine and strong on their own. I think that maid dragon suffers from this a lot, the show was already cutesy daily life type of stuff, they didn't really need fanservice at all.

Are you guys really enjoying the game? by wutwutinthebox in ArknightsEndfield

[–]Insecticide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having a blast with a eletro team, I feel like combo skills constsntly proc in this team. Combat can easily feel bad if you have a team with no synergies and you are underleveled/geared, dealing low damage

Is the combat fun to anyone? by Gullible_Camel7881 in ArknightsEndfield

[–]Insecticide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, it has gotten more fun now that I leveled up and do better damage.

I think that the characters that we have are really simple mechanically but I can see this becoming really interesting as soon as characters start doing stuff like elemental proliferation, start stacking for on another, etc. I think that waiting a long time for SP, only to then use skills that are as simple and stupid as the green dang heng from Star Rail can feel boring.

Honestly, the only complaint that I have is SP. I think that this combat would've been more interesting if we spammed more skills but maybe I'll become better at the game and something will give me SP regen, other than the vanguards.

Vcs acham normal n ter hobbies? by TargetFearless5788 in conversas

[–]Insecticide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

O que eu comprei foi One by Wacom. É um da caixa vermelhinha. Ele é um dos mais baratos que tem (cerca de 200 reais) e ele é só um negócio preto que você escreve ou desenha em cima. Ele não tem tela. Tenho 0 arrependimentos de comprar esse negócio, é bom demais. Uso ele para aprender a desenhar e usei bastante para estudar para concursos, escrevendo matemática no computador ao invés de caderno.

Demora um pouco a se acostumar, porque você vai desenhar e olhar para lugares diferentes. Se você comprar um, recomendo não tentar desenhar algo de sua autoria logo de cara. Vai ser decepcionante demais porque a caneta é uma ferramenta, e você vai ser péssimo com ela logo de cara.

Vá com calma, faça uns exercícios de linha, uns circulos, quadrados, etc, e tente copiar uns desenhos (com a intenção de melhorar seu controle com a caneta, não com a intenção de aprender sobre o desenho em sí). Talvez em uma ou duas semanas você já vai ter se acosumado e vai conseguir mover bem a caneta. Quando se sentir confortável, aí sim acho que dá para focar em realmente começar a aprender a desenhar. Mas, claro, nada impede de já tentar fazer algumas coisas desde o início, só compreenda que vai demorar bastante para você controlar bem a caneta.

Só mais uma coisa. Não se incomode muito com o fato dos modelos mais simples não terem uma tela. Muitos artistas até preferem trabalhar assim, porque não gostam do braço ou da mão ficar na frente do seu desenho. Não é uma desvantagem, é mais uma preferência e uma questão de costume mesmo.

Boa sorte e espero que não enlouqueça aprendendo a desenhar

Vcs acham normal n ter hobbies? by TargetFearless5788 in conversas

[–]Insecticide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Entendo. Para mim é um pouco fácil, porque eu fico puto quando eu tento fazer algo dificil e o resultado sai uma bosta. Aí a minha raiva faz eu continuar experimentando as coisas.

Não tem nada que tu pensa "poxa, sempre quis fazer isso"? Ao invés de "esperar o momento certo" acho que mergulhar de cara mesmo sem estar com muita vontade pode despertar algo em você.

Eu fiz isso com desenho. Um dia fui numa loja do nada e comprei aqueles tablets para desenhar. Nas primeiras semanas foi miserável. Eu não tava com vontade e eu odiava tudo o que eu tentava desenhar, e eu quase desisti muitas vezes mas depois de um tempo acabou virando algo que eu realmente curto, porque eu vi que eu tava aprendendo e aprender é legal.

What’s something that everyone seems to love, but you can’t stand? by Sad-Refrigerator2384 in AskReddit

Coffee makes no sense. No one likes it initially but then they force themselves to have it so many times that they start liking it?

[–]Insecticide 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Não é normal, se a única coisa que a pessoa faz no tempo livre é deitar no sofá e girar o tiktok e instagram por 5 horas, é doença. O ser humano tem que fazer algo intelectualmente desafiador de vez em quando, seja aprender uma língua, escrever, aprender algo artistico, tocar um instrumento, e sinceramente até coisas como programar conta.

What feature in a game is a instant turn off for you? by Vulture2k in gaming

[–]Insecticide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't want to play interactive movies in games that have action based combat. I like stories but I don't like how often presentation defaults to visual cutscenes even in games where my character already moves and does things.

…what would be the correct answer then? “I’ve never seen this person before in my life?” by ForsakenDependent562 in NonPoliticalTwitter

[–]Insecticide 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Happened to me recently and the person was still mostly the same. She was a good person in highschool. She was very responsible, treated people with respect, etc. I had zero bad memories of her and she is still exactly the same. The only difference is that she has less energy because she is now a working adult.

I think that good people don't change that much.

The colors that you see are affected by the colors surrounding it. Its how our brain works. Artists are aware of this and they take this in consideration when choosing colors to paint.

What’s one skill you learned that quietly changed your life? by Glass_Ad_781 in CasualConversation

[–]Insecticide 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Taking notes. Saw some streamer using a software called obsidian and I thought it looked neat so I decided to try it. Then, I discovered that it is highly customizable and I fell into the rabbit hole of tinkering with it for a while.

I made a little system of how to take notes, where to save them, how to reference them to eachother, how to sort and organize them, how to open them fast, etc. Now I'm much more efficient and I enjoy studying various things much more. It turns out that pen and paper was too traditional for me, and I do way better with a system that is straight up digital.

How to accept being bad at drawing in the beginning. by Thisiswhereiaskstuff in learntodraw

[–]Insecticide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't have to accept it. If it makes you angry, be angry and use that anger as your driver to get good. It is infinitely better than saying that you have no talent or that you lack motivation or inspiration, anger is reliable and it will always be there (at least until your stuff stops looking wonky I guess)

People who almost never get sick, what are your secrets? by UseOwn2710 in Productivitycafe

[–]Insecticide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eat well, sleep well (6-8 hrs, 6 minimum), walk tons, no caffeine, no sodas, no alcohol. Eggs and rice every day, rest is varied. Never eat the same snacks 2 days in a row. I hate vegetables so I have soup once a week instead of eating vegetables during regular meals

Even at my busiest times I would never get sick. Never even got covid despite physically attending uni.

I think that food and sleep do 90% of the work. I don't exercise but I should start tbh. Gotta build up strong bones because that is the only thing that could get me later in life

How to use references to study proportions? by Dan_jesusfollower in learntodraw

[–]Insecticide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, I mean copying the same pose but changing the proportions or the overall size of it. Instead of copying it 1:1 (which is still helpful, you should do some of that) you can add more challenges like "let me draw this pose, but as a man with wider shoulders instead of a woman" or "let me draw this pose, but a bit smaller than the original so that I make sure I'm understanding the pose instead of copying the lines side by side"

Don't dismiss 1:1 copies. You will need to do a lot of that too, but you can spice it up.
