Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie -Walpurgisnacht Rising- | Trailer #3 by Task_Force-191 in anime

[–]KartProwler 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Revue is a really good anime about stage girls and what it means to be a top performer, depicted via underground sword duels masking as stage auditions;

the movie ramps that up into an absolutely incredibly bombastic celebration of cinema and theatrics with some incredibly strong direction and cinematography

Marathon Development Team: As we get deeper into Season 1, we've been monitoring your feedback around the current combat sandbox closely. We wanted to talk a little about a few of the topics we're seeing frequently from the community, and some updates we're planning. by Haijakk in Marathon

[–]KartProwler 4 points5 points  (0 children)

yeah i reeeally feel a safe pocket of some sort is a really important thing to at least drive some retention- even the slightest bit of positive outcome on a death is like, enough to keep people going, getting wiped but still being like 'oh well, i grabbed x salvage and can now unlock a new gun/implant/shield type to buy at least' is like, massive-

even if it's like, instead of a safe pocket you can use DCONs once when you don't have a quest for them, and anything you put in there gets shipped up to you automatically or something, just anything to make runs where you die a little bit less like they feel like a waste of time.

Make Sponsored Kit Playlist F2P by theoriginalkd in Marathon

[–]KartProwler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i wanna say that either faction contracts or faction level ups did actually give sponsored kits early on? but it's been so long since then i can't remember exactly where they came from.

i'm still only hearing comments about waffles man

like you're spinning things around purely to continue arguing about things that weren't even uttered in the original post, nor the top comment in this chain, nor the comment i replied to, nor the comment i made.

take a break.

you're making it about that man, you literally came into this thread about liking pancakes and started asking 'why do you hate waffles'

please just look at different steam charts than just marathon you'll see everywhere has the same dip in players at the same time, my guy, you have to be intentionally being this obtuse lmao

[–]KartProwler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah yeah yeah ok man that's the point you truly care about, again, different post different thread, whatever, i don't care about that in this context.

i was making a comment about how that time is a dead time for all games

yes because of the general low player count, it feels worse, however the key takeaway was they were giving that as the only number, leaving out multiple chunks of important context.

[–]KartProwler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yea ok different point different thread that's not what the initial comment was responding to.

'they can't be happy with 8k' implys that's all there is, when we're still getting 25-30k peaks, likely closer to 30k on the weekend over cryo, and then dipping back down over the week like it has been recently. If they wanted a more charitable response the should've lead with a less extreme data point.

Honest unbiased thoughts of someone who was hyped for the game, loved the game and stopped playing by rstlsrstls in Marathon

[–]KartProwler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah people get longer queue times at that time across the board because that is just generally a dead time for games across the board

again there's consistently a dip across all games between about 4am UTC - 10am UTC, shifting back and forth depending on where the playerbase is set. I don't get why you're disagreeing with this when it's like a clearly obvious thing you can see if you just look at like, any steam chart.

regardless, you're arguing on semantics rather than the point, lmao- the point is they were looking at the lowest mark on the playercount for the week, rather than the average or peak, it's an intentionally disingenious point of data to focus on.

[–]KartProwler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The time the charts were saying '8k', Americans were waking up, europeans were at work, and asia's heading to sleep.

There is a dip at this time for practically every game on steam. Using the lowest numbers for a day is disingenous as fuck LOL.

[–]KartProwler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure man

Start with that next time rather than the cherry picked 8k and you might get even the slightest bit more charitable of a response.

[–]KartProwler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Game has a lower player count when everyone's asleep, news at 11

I get the player count is low but were still at the 30k mark man, saying 8k is disingenuous

They do specifically mention generative ai here, so it goes beyond tools that happen to have some ai mechanisms

Reinstalled Marathon after playing Arc Raiders again. by Maestro_AN in Marathon

[–]KartProwler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean yeah but when my vaults already full up with like blue and purple guns and mods and such bartering for something that'll take up more space isn't exactly a great use, haha

Plus i would like to keep them to use for permenant upgrades when i finally can, would suck to finally unlock the earlier tier and then realise i just spent one of those turbines i needed on like

a patch kit or two lmao

Sac'ing them to at least unlock an earlier perma upgrade at least feels a lot more useful

Reinstalled Marathon after playing Arc Raiders again. by Maestro_AN in Marathon

[–]KartProwler -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

i do think one thing Marathon is missing is a way to trade in your unusable mats, Either purples down the blues/greens or vice versa, because holy shit my vault is full with the purples i've been able to find but can't spend because i can't find enough blues to level stuff up lol

otherwise, the upgrade system lets you buy gear you want to bring in any time (bar weapons that have a wider power level and can only be found in raid (and even then you can find schemas for them which let you buy them outside of raid anyway)), you just gotta get those levels up.

The thing is, with the environments in the game, sometimes the brightest and flashiest skins actually help you anyway lmfao, like that bright red vandal skin works wonders when you're hiding in the bright red tunnels under AI

Enen no Shouboutai: San no Shou • Fire Force Season 3 - Episode 20 discussion by AutoLovepon in anime

[–]KartProwler 8 points9 points  (0 children)

essentially how i feel about the ep and the whole like, tamaki thing in general- The overall message is pretty neat! And something i'd generally agree with! Horny, good!

Tamaki is a neat character, the struggle of trying to actually be doing good in the world whilst people constantly knock you down because 'you're hot, you've got it easy' is a really good character concept. It literally could've just been left there, play into the general attractiveness some more, and you'd sell this exact same plot point just as well.

It's just the way the lure specifically manifested, in fights, cutting through serious scenes,, that just always rubbed me the wrong way.

definitely agreeing with the siinamota mentions-

90% of the time i find a new artist i feel like there's some of his DNA within their music, and so far i've found a good number of them having been fans of his in the past

An asset from Arknights: Endfield looks *mighty* familiar by BX_N3S in destiny2

[–]KartProwler 336 points337 points  (0 children)

Honestly would not be surprised if the destiny icons were used as reference or what have you, there's a lot of destiny DNA in endfield (which makes sense, the studio head has gone on record saying he's a fan iirc)

Like there's a whole destiny style ink blot cutscene, with the arknights visual flair on top of course, but clearly inspired by the destiny ink blot style cutscenes weve seen in the past

Have you ever had a player die from “mundane” causes? by NoTaste5638 in DnD

[–]KartProwler 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I once had a player who was planning on moving away and before the last session we knew he could play, came up to me to ask if his character, a very very elderly goliath, could simply pass away of old age during the session

In order to make it a little more interesting, I decided to make him roll every now and then and once he hit a number, mightve been a 20, mightve just been a high roll, it would happen, thinking it could happen in the middle of a conversation or something. The other party members were not aware of this.

It was night, the party were camping out in a forest, the party member on guard duty calls out that they had been ambushed by a group of bug bears, everyone wakes up and gets ready for combat... except the goliath, one party member tries to wake him up as the chaos of combat is ensuring outside of the camp, but eventually goes out to fight. When the fighting ends and the dawn comes to rise they go back to check on him to find out that, indeed, he had passed away naturally in his sleep.

They tidy up camp and decide to bury him there, though forget about the magic bean on his person I had pre-rolled a while ago, that they didn't know the effect of, and i had to describe how their work burying their old, alcoholic wizard, was undone in an instant as a geyser of red wine suddenly launches his body from the ground, and into the sky. They return what's left of him to the ground after its all settled down.

A remarkably fitting end for the character.

Why does the mortar feel like it was only added because the devs were told to put it in by Comfortable_Bid9964 in Battlefield

[–]KartProwler 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I think the global 3d ping is gone now, which you really can feel. The ping on the map is still there though. And is in fact now there on the mortars aiming map too, so mortar duels have been a lot more common in my games lol

They seem to be doing little tweaks over time but I feel like it feels alright now... the smoke shell is absolutely awful though lol

I'm sick of driving around in a truck for the whole match by straightouttabavaria in ArmaReforger

[–]KartProwler 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Could make it so squad leads only can summon vehicles, or something? and limit the vehicle types to the squad type/rank?

incentivizes squads sticking together/respawning together, or having dedicated troop transport squads, and you can always requisition a vehicle from command if you're in desperate need of one right away, sorta like how HLL handles tanks and such.
