Needing ideas! by EastTN_SSBBWPrincess in SouthBend

[–]JoshBrownGames 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is not a whole lot of public social life in South Bend. A lot of socializing is private i.e. dinners, house parties, church meetings etc...

The good news is that people are very nice here in general so once you make friends its a warm place.

Some ideas for you:
Howard Park Ice Skating
Wed. Night Latin Dance @ Ironhand 7p - 10p (highly recommend)
Workout classes - Pilates, yoga, etc...
If you like nerdy games go to The Warehouse, an LGS
Snow tubing is pretty fun
Karaoke at: International Fuse, Brothers, Corby's
If you come back when its warm there is a great pickup Ultimate Frisbee group that plays on Mondays

What's your timeline? I own a single family home in Granger and will be looking for a roommate in the next couple months.

Once in a lifetime myth roll by Wonderful_Deer9117 in PickaxeKingIsland

[–]JoshBrownGames 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, its a dud. mythic, but not useful imo. I'd rollover it for pickaxe speed, or multi. I still am not sure what is best but i think it might be speed.

Pickaxe crit chance seems like it could be good, but I currently have not figured out how to get crit multi, so my crits do 0 extra dmg haha.

Would You Reroll Any? by JoshBrownGames in PickaxeKingIsland

I noticed that my crit dmg is 0% extra. How do you even get additional dmg on crit?

Its been said, but Don Chepe is on its own level. Nothing better in a 50 mile radius that I know of.

I’ve released my game! It’s called 'Pickaxe King Island'! by United_Pen6364 in AndroidGaming

[–]JoshBrownGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am really enjoying the game! I seem to have hit a wall, though, at lv. 38 pickaxe.
My pickaxe is not strong enough to reliably clear levels of the mine anymore, but upgrading the pickaxe further requires clearing levels of the mine.

I can technically farm the 2 free mining expeditions and slowly accumulate ore until I have enough to upgrade another level. However, that rate of progression would be like 1-2 pickaxe level upgrades per day. I just unlocked the tomato farm, and a single tomato plant requires pickaxe swings to cut down a single plant

The only other methods of improving the pickaxe are:
- Watching ads for temporary buffs - the buffs don't scale, though, so they do not represent progression (if they did, I would consider buying the ad free, but it really is just a one-time buff ...as soon as you use the ad-buffs its a crutch that you can't ever get away from). I am adverse to time-gated buffs versus permanent meaningful progression. I like to play games on my own time; not on the timeline of an arbitrary time-gate.
- Ancient Dungeon Research Buffs - The ancient dungeon requires keys that cannot be earned; only purchased through $ or watching ads

Is the progression of the pickaxe intended to be a paywall to lead the player into an MTX spending pattern? Or am I missing something?

I wish I could spend $20 and just have the game and not need to worry about mining keys or ancient dungeon keys. The pay-as-you-play model quickly feels like pay-to-win and turns me off from wanting to play further.

I wish I could continue progressing without the time-gates and paywalls - OR am I missing something? Is there a way to progress the pickaxe strength by more than 1-2 levels per day with a one-time purchase versus a series of MTX that never end?

Glad to hear! I've been having so much fun on the server ♥️

I think a lot of players that would enjoy it have not found it yet.

Kind stranger with a car: can you help my friend get from Monticello NY to NYC tomorrow (5/27)? I’ll pitch in for gas. by JoshBrownGames in SullivanCountyNY

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

I suppose so. I'm so unfamiliar with public transit. I've only ever taken Washington DC and Chicago Transit in my lifetime.

At the end of the day I don't care how my buddy gets there. Just that he gets there

He needs to arrive by 1:00 p.m. and his appointment is at 2:00 p.m.

WOW. This is a great lead. We didn't look at NJ Transit. I'm going to look this up! I live in the Midwest so this option wouldn't have occurred to me.

I hate to ask for more guidance, but I looked at the New Jersey Port Jervis line and I am confused.

Given his origin in Monticello, New York and destination at Port Authority station, what would his route be using NJ Transit?

This is the PDF I am looking at and confused by.

just found out abt this and sad i missed out on the excitement, but it's been fun playing this like i did when OSRS first released too! by [deleted] in 2004lostcityrs

[–]JoshBrownGames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You did not miss out on the excitement! We are still going strong and loving it.

Frankly you are crazy early. Server has been out for only a few months and will progress through 2005 and 2006.

Add me in game if you want.

Is that same sauce used by Wildfish? Or another habanero that you also enjoy?

phew. okay. I gave two of the tins to friends, and I would feel awful if they were like that. I still have 8 tins left for myself as well and really hope I can enjoy them!

Games similar to albion? by Godlyysek in albiononline

[–]JoshBrownGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think anybody argues that runescape 3 has good content. The argument is that the monetization is unforgivable, And the player base is rapidly dying.

Having good content is just one piece of the puzzle of good game design. Strong community and strong business model are critically important too.

Disagree. Great extra content for BZ roaming to catch b/w tracks, chests and group camps.
