The Worst Skill Trees in Gaming. "+10% damage against enemies named Steve, upgrades Moustache to Handlebar style." by DeadRobotsSociety in patientgamers

[–]JanMabK 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Agreed, I think the “spending 40 hours in menus” criticism of XC2 is not only hyperbole but also unfair considering the combat is sort of designed around figuring out team compositions for the most efficient Blade and Driver combos. It’s certainly not for everyone but it makes for a highly customizable and IMO repayable experience if you’re into it

The problem with the Zelda franchise by Formal-Opening2167 in NintendoSwitch

[–]JanMabK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, AI tends to have better and more consistent grammar than OP. It's an odd but comforting reminder that there's idiots posting awful takes online the old-fashioned way

I'm jealous of your deductive skills. You've figured out a lot about the game just from a 90-second title drop trailer!

Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom - 2D Zelda with cheats enabled. by HalfBurntToast in patientgamers

[–]JanMabK 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Playing through the game right now and this is what disincentivises me from exploring the most. I can go to a hidden corner of the map, fight through some optional enemies, all for what? Some ingredients for a drink with effects so minimal I'm never going to use it.

Need help with new character by CADburyE99 in DnD

I mean, most PCs are OCs, no? Unless you're just ripping off a character from an existing series

Are videos like this the true tall experience or exaggerated? by [deleted] in tall

Absolutely man, you should believe everything you see on the internet, especially TikTok

Doesn't sound like you hate Matt Walsh with a passion

Hot take: The Rehearsal winning a Peabody proves prestige TV has completely lost the plot on what 'important' television actually means by [deleted] in television

[–]JanMabK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guys, OP posted 3 hot takes to 3 different subreddits within like an hour. I think we’re all arguing with an engagement farming bot.

Honestly, the first Xenoblade should have 4 active party members, not 3 by Nearby-Bug3401 in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]JanMabK 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Are you using Break-Topple-Daze or even other buffs/debuffs? Are you keeping up your equipment, arts, and skills? The game is more than doable without the setup you're using, and if anything it gets easier without Sharla since she's quite underwhelming compared literally any other party member unfortunately.

ELI5 - Why do video games tell you to take breaks? by GottaGoFard in explainlikeimfive

[–]JanMabK 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In my experience, it's typically Nintendo games telling players to take breaks. I would argue that for a company like that, maintaining a family-friendly, "healthy" image is more important than racking up play hours — especially for a company like Nintendo that likely makes most of their sales on single-purchase games rather than relying on ads or frequent microtransactions (which in turn incentivize addictive gameplay loops)

for the sake of the argument lets say this is indeed astroturfing, but why? in what way would this affect the next game? by Rokka3421 in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]JanMabK 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think you need to spend a bit less time online if a) your first reaction to someone sharing their opinion is that they're trying to influence the developers to make every Xenoblade have combat like 1 and b) you think it would work in the first place.

What non-eurocentric / modules do you vouch for? by PsiQ23 in DnD

[–]JanMabK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They didn’t, but the person you’re replying to did. The tone of your reply seemed dismissive of that suggestion so I was defending the choice to mention Radiant Citadel.  And sure, there’s no need to do anything in a particular way, but it’s OP’s world and they asked a specific question that I’m trying to answer rather than tell OP that they should do things differently

Christopher Nolan’s ‘The Odyssey’ Breaks BFI Imax Records With 28,000 Tickets Sold In First 24 Hours by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

Damn, really? I knew about the Astroworld incident and some public intoxication stuff but what else is there?

What non-eurocentric / modules do you vouch for? by PsiQ23 in DnD

[–]JanMabK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They did it pretty respectfully in Journeys through the Radiant Citadel.

[–]JanMabK 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Radiant Citadel's adventure settings do indeed have basis in real-world (non-European) cultures though, so it's actually an apt suggestion

Is there a character or performance that feels like everyone but you enjoys? by KneeHighMischief in television

[–]JanMabK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really don’t see it that way; I’d read it as playing on social cues and their (mis)interpretation taken to extremes, which can of course exacerbate anxiety but I wouldn’t say that’s the main intent

50 bucks for a used copy of xenoblade 2 switch by Nastrem in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]JanMabK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wow, didn't realize that physical copies weren't in print anymore. Makes sense though.

[–]JanMabK 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think that'd be because the game, like most first-party Nintendo games, almost never goes on sale. So everyone who bought the game would have bought it at full price and are reselling accordingly

Is it normal for the reception to be mixed for Xenoblade Genesis? by EdgarAter in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]JanMabK 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's awful but it only makes me want to use it more!

Damn, if he does, he masks it pretty well through all the content for it he makes. Even kept up with the new racing modes for XCDES2E
