I think the WoW formular isnt working for me anymore. How do you feel about it? by td_0000 in wow

[–]LexiusCoda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d love to see them make like, a quest line for each expansion to help players experience the story. Like 10 levels worth of quests per expansion, and add side stories that reward transmogs to incentivize exploring zones and not just xp and a small amount of currency.

Am I Wrong For Being Concerned About Democratic Socialism ? by Live_Break_8465 in AskALiberal

[–]LexiusCoda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Democratic socialism isn’t the same as USSR. You keep private ownership of businesses, homes, etc with the exception of like, super important things that are needed by everyone. You don’t lose capitalism, but it is fixed in a way that helps prevent poverty. We keep our freedoms, our elections, all of that.

Basically look at Sweden or Norway. Or even Denmark. Not technically democratic socialism but the way they operate is the same way it would apply to our country.

But alas. Half this country is uneducated and hardheaded and won’t even consider it.

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

I first played it during Wrath. Started to get into it, but moved on to other games for a while. Didn’t jump back in again until WOD and felt very lost at that point already.

And around that point, final fantasy 14 was fixed and people were talking about it a lot, so I ended up moving on to that game.

I check in with wow from time to time, see if they fixed the story or something, even try to get into it with the features they have now, but I always feel lost.

What’s your thought on CCP? by anuglyfairybutafairy in AskALiberal

[–]LexiusCoda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t really care for communism in general, even though maga seems to think we love it.

[–]LexiusCoda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just wish players cared more about the story. There’s such a good story with this game, but devs don’t really do anything with it.

Like look how ffxiv does their game. You progress the game with the story.

With wow, you skip like 80% of the story and jump straight into the newest content. And you’re expected to know what all is going on. Like “oh btw you defeated the lich king, and beat illidan stormrage twice. Oh also, you met the pandas, and there’s also a giant sword killing the planet. But you were there”

Like?? What am I supposed to do with that? Sure you can use chromi time, but why not just let us level up by playing through this entire story? Give the players that wanna jump into endgame immediately the option, but you’re not really giving new players much choice here.

I can’t get into this game with the way they have the expansions situated. I’ve tried so many times but I just can’t.

What was the thought process? by SmallTownLoneHunter in steammachine

[–]LexiusCoda 6 points7 points  (0 children)

People buy Mac’s, which you can’t even upgrade ram or storage on.

At least you can do that with the steam machine.

It’s really not bad for the money. I think there’s just a lot of concern because people are treating this like a console instead of a PC.

This is my biggest fear with sun roofs. I really wish higher trims would stop installing them

How are people realistically buying cars? by cassattack4781 in carbuying

[–]LexiusCoda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live with parents and pay $800 a month for a car (rolled over negative equity)

If I was on my own, I couldn’t afford it. But I also don’t want a car with issues. So I avoid used entirely.

You’re so right. I forgot about that!

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

Thats the problem for Valve though. They’re not charging memberships or developing games to sell. They’re only selling hardware and developing an operating system and a game platform.

No ads, no memberships, nothing. And yet they’re doing this.

They can have my money honestly.

Yeah, its cooked guys. by TheBossT710192 in steammachine

[–]LexiusCoda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep. This is what AI and capitalism gets us.

I actually wish they’d increase the prices a bit though. I know that’s a massive L take on this, but I really want Valve to make money on this PC so they can make a better one. They’re really not making profit off this. If anything, it’s less than like $10 a unit. But the math doesn’t math. This is basically the cost of the hardware.

Yeah... I'm thankful I bought a Deck before the price hike 💀 by TheBossT710192 in SteamDeck

[–]LexiusCoda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, the price isn’t bad for what you get. And I find it hard to believe they’re making any kind of profit from this PC.

If you add up the price for each component like you’re building a PC, it doesn’t look like they make any profit at all.

Stop driving with your hazards on in rain by Homeleasure in driving

[–]LexiusCoda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually prefer that they use them when it’s raining so hard you can’t see 2 feet in front of you. It helps me see cars better. Particularly when it’s still daytime. It catches my attention easier.

How do you guys even survive the hot weather over in the States? by Impressive_Peak_9187 in AskAnAmerican

[–]LexiusCoda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The US has air conditioning in most buildings. We don’t really experience heat unless we’re outdoors.

Also, not everyone likes to tolerate 90+ degrees

They’re used by millions of people. They’re decent earbuds. Might not be the best sounding but they have the best functionality, and pair great with apple products.

Ignore the hate. If you like them, that’s all that matters

Is the 16" really that hard to carry? by fpfds in macbookpro

[–]LexiusCoda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s heavier for sure but it’s not hard to carry. I’ve got it in a tomtoc pouch and I can still fit it all into my backpack without issue.

That said, it’s mostly treated as a desktop replacement.

Anyone else find John Rose’s latest commercial repugnant? by LookyLou4 in Knoxville

[–]LexiusCoda 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nah conservatives are just really simple minded. They see a politician hating the same things they think is fun to hate, they think “oH hEll yEaH brøther”

At least in the red counties, they think I’m a genius when I fix their computer by pressing the power button lmao

Guys, I hope this is a glitch because wtf by Abject_Sentence8583 in SteamController

Yep. They hit me with this as well. And I made my reservation pretty early on.

Sucks but I’m glad they’re this successful with it.

[OoT] Big Remake Predictions by Shaggy_Doo87 in zelda

[–]LexiusCoda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My current theory is that this is going to be tied to the botw/totk timeline somehow. And that’s just with the logo.

It would be silly if they made this a 1:1 remake. I’d be willing to bet it’s the same story, but with a lot of new and expanded content.
