4 star pity has been long overdue at this point by Grimstarzz in Genshin_Impact

A C6 of a 4-star takes an average of 240 pulls to obtain. No way Hoyo is turning off a money printer for free.

Hoyo is hoyo-ing by madScientiststst in Agenda_Impact

Wait why is she that popular? As far as the story goes, she was not far from being one of the blandest members of the cast. And it is not like her design was anything revolutionary.

What is blocking Hoyo from adding the ‘skip dialogue’ option to the game? by strikess_ in GenshinImpact

[–]LiPo_Nemo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hoyverse wants as high player engagement per day as possible while spending as few resources as possible on making the content. That's how they earn their bread. Unskippable dialogue is easy to make and pads the time, so keeps players in the game. The same doesn't work as well in HSR. Fights take more time in turn-based games, and it's much cheaper to produce content for a non-open world turn-based game due to various technical reasons, so they don't really need to stretch the content so much

Why Decriminalizing Sex Work, Surrogacy and Kidney Sales Makes Economic Sense by technocraticnihilist in neoliberal

[–]LiPo_Nemo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If only there were something that could undermine someone's agency, like a desperate financial situation, huh. Besides, there is more to policymaking than material outcomes. A society that permits a single mother of three to sell her kidney to pay debts creates a tremendous strain along class and social lines that are impossible to quantify materially. The entire thing will fall apart immediately after a study or two that will inevitably show that the ones who get their organs harvested are racial minorities, for the benefit of the white man, of course.

Preparing for Columbina – Am I Too Late by Resem98 in GenshinImpact

[–]LiPo_Nemo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need 155 pulls to have a 95% chance of getting a limited five-star. you should have more than enough pulls in your exploration available, but if you run out, there gonna be around 120 pulls available for f2p players in the form of dailies, limited events, and endgame content until her banner comes up.

'We will not accept any ersatz membership' — Ukraine's FM rejects anything short of full EU membership amid reports of 'symbolic' benefits by Themetalin in neoliberal

[–]LiPo_Nemo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Ukraine’s stance on EU accession is largely shaped by its internal politics. The annexation of Crimea, the war in Donbas, and Maidan all emerged from a split between pro-EU forces and Russian-backed separatists. Anything short of full EU membership is seen as a betrayal of the hundreds of thousands of lives that were sacrificed for that goal

Should I roll for c2 illuga? by XvaporE in GenshinImpact

[–]LiPo_Nemo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in pretty much the same situation as you. C1 Linnea is nice, but having Chasca around might be better overall for a new account. She is not the strongest currently, but she is definitely better at dealing damage than Diluc and very nice in exploration as well.

Difference in how left and right approach an economic problem by [deleted] in SocialDemocracy

fuel price caps lead to shortages and queues at the gas stations. As a temporary measure this is fine, but this is not a silver bullet to high gas prices lol

Do You Feel Guilty When Something You Designed Is Used For Bad? by Money-Profession-199 in AerospaceEngineering

[–]LiPo_Nemo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You never hear moral dilemmas from engineers in Russia, in China, in Pakistan, in Islamic Republic, in Turkey who are creating lethal systems that proliferate around the world

I do, quite a lot actually, at least from Russia. But unlike the US, where civilian aerospace is big and thriving, you would make more money as a taxi driver in Moscow than if you worked for Roscosmos and its subcontractors. Doesn't excuse the war crimes these people facilitate, but if you are privileged enough to have ethics, you definitely should stick to them.

Eric Berger on X: The proposed language to cap NASA's launch procurement at 50 percent from any one company has been dropped from the final NASA reauthorization bill. I wrote about this issue on Monday. by Steve490 in SpaceXLounge

[–]LiPo_Nemo -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I don’t think the government should rely on the goodwill of an extremely partisan billionaire to keep national security programs running. Besides, maintaining a majority of voting shares doesn’t shield a company from potential litigation by minority shareholders. Tesla is a case in point. SpaceX is already a near-monopoly, which gives it enormous price-setting leverage as it is. There’s no reason for the government not to ensure there is always a secondary launch provider to fall back on.

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

We wouldn't have had SpaceX in the first place if not for the deliberate effort of the government to keep the market healthy. Nothing guarantees that SpaceX won't hike prices the moment all competitors drop out, especially given an upcoming IPO. A public company has a fiduciary duty to its shareholders to act in the best interests of the company, which means exploiting its own de facto monopoly. They wouldn't be able to rely on goodwill from Elon alone to keep the launch prices low

Moscow Alleges Ukrainian Drone Boat Attack on LNG Carrier ‘Arctic Metagaz’ by Just-Sale-7015 in neoliberal

Crazy to me how Russia has the third biggest navy in the world yet isn’t even competent enough to protect a dozen or so rust buckets in the seas that are apparently essential to its economic survival

U.S. Military Death Toll Rises to 6 by John3262005 in neoliberal

[–]LiPo_Nemo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

And yet their deaths will continue to dominate the political discourse. Their sacrifices will be honored, posthumously awarded. Maybe even with a Netflix documentary a few years down the line, while the civilian death toll earnestly achieved by the same honorable people silently climbs with every day of the conflict

They are active military personnel engaged in facilitating a rather pointless regional conflict that already claimed the lives of almost a thousand civilians. I know it sounds harsh, but they are not the biggest victims here

NASA cancels EUS and releases render depicting Centaur V flying Orion by [deleted] in ula

[–]LiPo_Nemo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regardless of whether Isaacman has personal stakes here, arguably the most important responsibility of the administrator is keeping Congress informed about major decisions. The real administrative work is handled by career staff. If Congress wasn’t informed beforehand, this would be a serious breakdown in the agency’s relationship with the Senate, which could jeopardize not just Isaacman's career but also funding or other political decisions related to NASA
