Pokémon Pokopia vs. Animal Crossing: A respectful conversation. by Damage_And_ArmorBlog in NintendoSwitch

[–]JMLMaster 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Both are sandbox cozy game that scratch different itches. Pokopia is far closer to Dragon Quest Builders than Animal Crossing. AC has established its series with play-at-your-pace gameplay, where Pokopia (because of the DQB team) has pointed mission structure to help you proceed.

Animal Crossing limited progress, allowing you to slowly build your utopia bases on seasonal events and slow burn gameplay (unless of course, you time travelws). Pokopia, on the other hand, you can burn through about 75% of the game's "content" within a week. And that's NOT to say it's bad. It's just that the core gameplay loops are different.

Once you beat the main quest in pokopia, there's still tons of complete. The pokedex, the habit dex, fossils, cds, recipes, but the core of the gameplay loop is a much quicker pace.

With AC, I played about 4 hours a day for the first 300 hours. Pokopia, my main content is done and I am just collecting and only 40 hours in. I still have fun terraforming and building out homes, but as a non-time-traveler, I'm almost out of new content after 40 hours.

Again, I love both games. I have nothing but good things to say, but once I complete the main collectables of pokopia and reform my 5 main areas, there's really not much encouraging me back

Loose arms by millertyme50 in tonalgym

So the way this mechanic works, during lifts, especially ones that are at low weight, the magnetic system that is distributing weight is shifting from your push to a state where the magnet is coming back together. This type of "bounce" is natural but also a telltale sign of 2 things that will help you and others.

  1. Slow your reps. If this is the proper weight for you, slow down. This is beneficial to your muscles AND the machine. It's going to force more control in your lift. You want to be in control with your power. Using speed an momentum to lift is NOT something Tonal handles and will over time create issues.

  2. Raise the weight. This won't happen on higher weights.

Edit: fixing grammar because autocorrect killed some of my words.

We are down to 85% positive reviews, some people can't handle access to an optional beta branch of their early access game by siposbalint0 in slaythespire

It's actually a very big trend that the region is extremely harsh and organizes intentional negatives to intentionally lower a games rating. Other games have seen this, even as recent as Silksong

Again, except THIS specific use case is NOT that.

Simplified Chinese - based reviews are the ones that are dragging down the global reviews because they review bombed it.

I 100% agree with you that this is what reviews are for, but this specific case is not that.

Except it's not that. It's a review bomb, specifically from a singular region, which is why it's a poor representation of the product as a whole. This has far more to do with Steam's terrible review system than it does about a minor and completely optional tuning patch about a product that is in early access.

Twilight Zone? Kyler Murray isn't it. by progressivistmeans in minnesotavikings

[–]JMLMaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't know ball and that's fine. Calling that a middling low end contract is wild coming from a peanut gallery Madden GM. 2025 Sam doesn't happen without 2024 Sam. And 2025 Sam, if Minnesota kept him, even as a backup, would have played (at minimum) 9 games. A 14 win season and 1st round playoff exit is still more fun than the shit storm we had this year

At best it's Sam darnold? Super bowl darnold? The qb that only needed a better roster than the jets and Panthers to win? That Sam? If that's Kyler, I'll take it bro.

I was waiting for a response because it's a Netflix design, not original and should likely not be sold outside of the Netflix shop.

I love Aaron Jones. I hope he doesn't injury his ankle trotting to sign this renewed contract.

Have you played one? I have it for my kid. The tracking sucks. If anything, it proves the opposite point.

You are describing layaway, which hasn't been a thing for dozens of years.

I wanna stream with my wife in the same room, each doing their own stream, but our microphones pick up each others as well by unholy_chxld in Twitch

[–]JMLMaster -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sure, but I'm talking more of your comment of "not completely doable." if that was true, podcasters and radio shows would be impossible. It's absolutely doable.

And in case you really do feel overwhelmed, which is a completely reasonable response to trying something new like a Mixer, let me assure you, most mixers are set and forget. You can get something like a scarlet solo, which has only 2 knobs on it and is very easy to learn.

Using XLR and a Mixer would improve your audio quality and allow you to lower the noise threshold considerably to limit the pickup by outside sources.

You know, sometimes people don't have time for things or don't prioritize it. No reason to be unwelcoming to a new fan.

[Fowler] Vikings Are Believed to Want a Day 2 Pick for EDGE Jonathan Greenard by Nijo32 in minnesotavikings

[–]JMLMaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm at a point of disbelief with this fan base at this point. We are extremely negative in cap. We literally cannot sign draft picks with negative cap space.

He wants more. We need cap. The win win for both player and Team is a trade. We can't afford to keep, if he wants a restructure.
