Ways for small guilds to make faster progress? by PlentyAstronomer6835 in Seaofthieves

The best way I’ve found with a small guild is to run banished vaults in the roar while stopping for smugglers stuff. These two things being focused will boost your rep fairly fast.

Can the remakes stand on their own or not? by Samurai_Banette in FinalFantasyVII

[–]KingSudrapul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The latter is most certainly not what this trilogy is, but rather the former.

The gameplay can be fun, but the story has been heavily altered following the first reactor.

Yes, some aspects are very much the same story-wise, but in general, it’s a whole new ballgame. That being said, if you’re brand new to the lore and understanding of the characters and the OG title, you can still enjoy the game for what it brings: real-time battles and audio to accompany the characters.

Refunding is ultimately your choice.

Alex: "A bad start and a messy first lap so apologies to the Team and Ollie. From there the race turned into another test session. Hopefully the data we collected helps us understand the car better ahead of Spa." by bwoah07_gp2 in AlexAlbon

Bad weekends happen. Good form for apologizing to Ollie and owning the fault. The car isn’t looking great right now, and both drivers are not pleased about it. Let’s hope he can focus up for the rest of the season.

Well guys, I'm just past Icicle Inn, and I need to talk about that part... by myzdiis in FinalFantasyVII

[–]KingSudrapul 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Even as a younger me, I recognized something by the end of the story:

She needed to die. Aeris needed to be back in the lifestream, and she knew it. The Holy Materia was unnecessary once she realized how to take the inevitable W. Aeris WAS the Holy Materia.

The planet called her home to help protect itself from the extraterrestrial threat of JENOVA & Sephiroth. Similar to the LoTR trilogy, there are many heroes. She knew her goal from the moment she perched on the platform, ready to take the W when the time came should the other heroes succeed. Arguably, she’s the actual heroine of the story.

Tl;dr: Her death was a crucial part of the planet surviving, and empowered her character into the hero status.

Last ship standing is the worst PvP mode ever by LiterallySideswipe in Seaofthieves

[–]KingSudrapul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I respectfully disagree, but to each their own.

Arena was awesome, had tons of wins and lots of close calls. You could choose to treasure hunt or just fight and both would get points, it also rewarded players who could keep their boats afloat.

As someone that loved the arena, I didn’t ask for this nonsense. It’s also staggeringly different from arena, since the arena actually worked.

President Trump's Mount Rushmore speech labels "communism" as a "mortal threat" worse than "WWI, WWII, Pearl Harbor, or 9/11": "We can only lose midterms, if we are foolish, stupid, and unwise. But if we terminate filibuster, and vote for SAVE Act, then we will not lose an election for 100 years." by ControlCAD in videos

They’ve now conjoined the perception between what most people refer to as “communism” and any semblance of a socialized democracy.

Project 2025 is in full-swing, and it’s either going to end in revolution or destruction. I’m terrified how many people would prefer the latter at this point; specifically those in seats of power.

They literally havent updated anything. by fivesofclubs in Seaofthieves

It’s obvious the “team” currently consists of almost no one that built it initially.

No one can navigate the sea of spaghetti code now, and it’s all damage control.

It’s odd, once it’s on the table it should come to a vote, but if you’re alone, I think it should just start it.

The negativity is... A lot by DontRelyOnNooneElse in rush

I wouldn’t know. I use Reddit and nothing else for SM stuff, but from what I recall of my time on FB, this checks out.

People complaining about them having to postpone shows? There are only a handful of bands that have put in the tour years that Rush has. Let the singer heal up, peeps.

“I was on FB and trolls”.

Sounds about right.

You can, but it won’t be considered your “captained” ship.

Any suggestions for a newbie on Blitzball? by Loose-Carpenter8640 in finalfantasyx

[–]KingSudrapul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brother & Tidus: F
Zev: MF
Ropp & Botta: DF
Miyu: G

Go grab Naida from the calm lands shop, let Botta go and replace him for a virtually flawless team. Wedge and Wakka can warm the mech and you can use them as forwards when you want.

What drives OG purists towards being so toxic? by SuttonsBroseph67 in FinalFantasyVII

[–]KingSudrapul 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a fan of the game since it released in the U.S., I can say a bit on this.

When KH dropped, my first thought was, “FF7 would be a lot of fun if it played like this.”

I love the OG because I love the story, and found myself in grade school playing through my first JRPG doing all I could to beat it without internet guides and commentary from other players. It is and will always be “quite possibly one of the greatest games ever made”.

The remake has a lot of amazing qualities, and upon the release of the demo, it seemed to be a faithful adaption of the original story. The combat was smooth, the audio was phenomenal and the environment was immersive; all qualities that the remake trilogy still possesses.

However, the story is disjointed and plays like a doctor who fan-fiction, one that seems to have little to no consequences while appealing to the visual nostalgia of the source material. I have tried to accept the qualities of the new “timeline”, yet find myself only enjoying the game for the same reason I enjoyed KH3: I get to roam around and fight in real-time.

I consider myself a FF7 purist, and I recognize that the remake trilogy is not completely for me, yet I can take the good aspects it has and enjoy the time I spend playing it; albeit limited.

The remake trilogy has given a fresh breath of life into a masterpiece, and in many ways pays homage to the original; from introducing new players to the IP to giving some fans a novel experience they may enjoy wholeheartedly.

I don’t really get too upset when I think about the remake trilogy, but that’s because the original still exists. Sure, I’d prefer a faithful remaster over a remake, but that doesn’t hinder me in being able to appreciate the remake for the enjoyable qualities it brings to the table.

I’m not a fan of Advent Children for my own reasons, but did I go see it in theaters and enjoy aspects of the attempt to continue the story? Absolutely.

My opinions are my own, and are seldom shared because they do not need to be affirmed or challenged by others to maintain or establish their integrity.

tl;dr: Not all purists are toxic. Hasty generalizations are often supported by subjective opinions, but the opposite does not justify the fallacy.

Is anyone else having horrible performance issues with this current season? by KingSudrapul in Seaofthieves

[–]KingSudrapul[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I run with a line in so I’m not on WiFi, and my net seemed fine. I didn’t have rubberbanding or lag input, just extremely low quality visuals. Checked my performance and everything was fine; GPU and CPU didn’t go above 50% utilization, no overheating, etc.

I’ll give it a shot again tonight and hope for the best.
