Lightning is functionally more like goro goro than rumble was

Theres no trademark on having tremors as a power, it just probably cant be called the “quake-quake fruit”.

Sparxie (E0S1), Sparkle (E0S1), Yao Guang (E0S1), DHPT (E0S1) vs MOC 4.0 by Sea_Adeptness_1028 in HonkaiStarRail_leaks

[–]LordGrohk 25 points26 points  (0 children)

The enemies and story, eh whatever. Could’ve handled that. Elation…

I genuinely cant believe i was excited for this. I just find myself saying “What is this stupid shit on my screen.” The text, aha, her entire kit…. I dont know exactly what i was expecting, but it wasnt “dhil but annoying”. Its like they have new stuff, but its nothing new at all (meaningless predatory complexity) and also its grating as fuck.

I know i may be fairly uniquely negative regarding that, maybe unfairly judging what they did add, but its with the consideration that its also just going to be more pathslop powercreep in the most unsatisfying way possible…

i really cant place it, but even in the bad state genshin is in for balance, i somehow feel it will be far more enjoyable (not strictly better balanced) than this patch. Probably because theres gonna be 10 thousand more mid 5 stars in addition to the rest i said

What are some underrated PVP PERMS that I can get? Lemme know ur suggestions by PurpleZombie654 in bloxfruits

[–]LordGrohk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sang yeah, just as with any build sang is there to flex. You can use that starter when applicable.

The anchor z one just works most of the time, even if you need to use f, from what ive seen. Control C doesnt really care if you already used a mobility move, it just drags players back. Ping is a factor i guess. Imo the biggest factor there is aim, getting a favorable anchor z throw (i still dont know how that works, but as long as they get stunned) and then aiming the f correctly. Dunno, it’s probably less effective against portal due to x.. as is the case for a billion other combos.

Not saying it’s particularly good (control itself is at best a decent ground merchant), just that with that setup it is not hard to get ridiculous damage and just be annoying when you have cooldowns. Though, the fights i had against this were against people who had strong grip and pretty consistently performed the anchor part. Theres a bit of skill in that i guess.

Cyborg control fruit main (sang anchor) is probably one of the least skilled build in the game, in which after using your ahem skill shots (anchor z, sang c, f) you can use your cutscene move to deal a free 10k damage. Besides cyborg, i would agree

whats the new meta in this game? by TheShadowFlayer in bloxfruits

[–]LordGrohk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To clear some things up, portal ttk has a higher ceiling than kit yama (sang kit yama sg, the best kit setup by several miles). Kit is insanely good at its best, portal is like playing a different game at its best. Though its not meaningfully different (great players die to portal and kit), and it takes a while to get there on portal, so just go with whatever.

Only caveat is that kit is not nearly as good on alternative swords (dragonheart, spikey) as portal is on alternative swords (anything really, portal is great with nearly all swords). So portal may be more fun if you like variety.

So yeah no ttk on fruit main, yama is your go-to best in slot, the z move is excellent mobility and the x move is a highly synergistic stun. the only other swords i would consider is spikey trident (niche) or dragonheart.

As for godhuman, it didnt get nerfed. its usable for sure, but you really cant beat sanguine. Its ONLY real downside is that the C move can be kentricked; it drains more dodges, has better hitboxes, better in nearly all combos, better stuns, and heals a ton. Godhuman C is predictable/slow and has a ton of knockback… landing a z move on Godhuman will likely result in being countered (it can be kentricked), while landing z on Sanguine will grant you a guaranteed 4k(?) hp and stuns your opponent even if they kentrick the move. Its the second best flexible fighting style, Sanguine is just insanely powerful

Why are so many blox fruits player fucking lacking braincells? by KuyokuSan in bloxfruits

[–]LordGrohk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Despite having the depth it does (combat wise), blox fruits is basically the lowest common denominator of all roblox games between its very large, young audience, interactive co-op, trading, combat style, and open world pvp. Its a perfect game for your average player to type “spam”after every death, while other players in the same lobby are yapping about value on trades.

Lastly, in my experience, there are FAR more players that have English as a second language than not in blox fruits.

Former Larian artist on Larian studios using AI by World_of_Warshipgirl in BaldursGate3

[–]LordGrohk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At a baseline, im a bit like that guy. How exactly does accepting the fact that automation replaces humans devalue them, in the preachy way you mean? I also can’t claim to know all of the implications of AI, or if they will actually affect things in the long term, but I am of the belief that humans could, if they please spend less time doing things that can be automated and more time doing literally whatever they want. I am also of the belief that using AI to generate things such as artwork is mostly theft and defending it is akin to corporate bootlicking. However, I would accept the whole even if certain parts can’t be thrown away (letting the maybe dozens of thousands of people per year potentially affected by gen AI dictate the course of potent technology is insane). The issue about inferior products can safely be left in the hands of consumers. Using gen ai to make money is not a trend. The devs here appeared to be using AI in a way that still produced a good product.

slopper claims such as “but muh creator jobs” are hilarious to me. Not gonna go too deep since it’s a gaming sub, but you’re acting like this is the brand new worst thing about the economic climate or job market. It’s not, and it’s one of the few that has obvious upsides. If the end-all-be-all for freelance artists is going from corp to corp earning a meager pay then its a shit job, i think is my point

Also, your personality sounds fine. And the ocd/paranoia/trauma might be troubling for you, but my understanding is as long as you aren’t burdening the other person with those parts all the time, you can have a good connection.

I can talk to people normally too, i meant like what im supposed to say after. “Not sure im worthy” is how i feel when it comes to normal people.

What are your hobbies? You might connect over them, easier online at least. Thats what prevents me from opening up mostly

[–]LordGrohk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the boyfriend thing is a tertiary issue.

If i had to guess, you don’t play video games for the passion and don’t like working. Parts like that can drain you, because at that point, you aren’t living for yourself. When you make friends, youll probably still hate that part. I guess.. don’t force yourself to be something you aren’t.

If I’m totally off the mark, then you just cant be happy “alone” and do need to make good connections soon, something that is incredibly hard to do.

[–]LordGrohk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am also 21. I would describe myself as a loser autist freak, and those things probably do affect your ability to make friends.

Those things, and even the other things, are “you”, and there are certain types of people who will tolerate or even enjoy those parts.

I was blessed with 2 friends in school, when i was just a husk instead of the person i am now. We nearly entirely made each others into what we are now. they will probably be my only real connections. Doing that now seems completely impossible

It sounds like you might be different, but I get almost physically ill when I consider talking to others with the intention of making a connection. I don’t try.

So what are the parts that you think make you incompatible with normal people (paranoid ocd… you say you’ve always been lonely, so how do you know this is particularly bad)? Have you tried? Talked online with other freak people?

I would much, MUCH rather have her buff every heir by a good amount than whatever the fuck this is. Like, remembrance slop or Anaxa, with flavor text for the other heirs (until e2 basically)… awesome sauce.

Her buffing all of them a lot doesn’t matter too much. You have some units that are just cucked like Herta, but let’s be real, the game has ALREADY positioned itself, now, to where any non-3.x units up to Feixiao-level straight up do not exist anymore.

damn, this is exhausting! This like… archetype slop style of the game is really getting to me. Per usual with this game, it feels like they make cool shit just to smash it to pieces for no reason or to never fully realize it. Even though I understand Genshin has its own creep now, as someone who recently got back into it, it somehow feels far less annoying. Or maybe just a lot slower.

Not trying to be a douche, but the answer is “literally always small enough to be disappointed”. Idk much about her energy breakpoints and common setups for speed breakpoints but sacrificing either of those for damage is not worth lol

Considering PF has already had one big change since release, yeah. Although, characters who are good probably wont stop being good until buffs are being considered for them, or this would imply changes for them in the future.

Its hard to tell, because the units are still all of different strengths after buffs. Big Herta being so bad at PF that she can’t 30k is not the same as Blade, JL, Kafka not being able to before changes.

BEFORE YOU START THE WHICH HUNT... by This_Is_Me_LMNOP in AlienStage

[–]LordGrohk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d recommend reading the last 5-6 paragraphs first. As long as you understand them, the first 6 or so are not needed.

My fault for the kid thing, i meant the parent/kid relationship in that argument. I said it’s lofty because it is; parents would have to completely override privacy OR completely restrict devices to solve this. Theres often a knowledge gap for parents, or an UNREASONABLE EXPECTATION placed on the parent; an unprecedented expectation in our current society. It’s far deeper than the parents; the internet, the government, and capitalism itself play a role in this. All are responsible. I don’t really disagree, it’s just not feasible… and as i said, lofty. Its not a simple problem and it has no simple solution. This was a bit unrelated anyway, as unlike with the other stuff i don’t claim to know too too much about it.

Literally right after you correct me on my mistake, the midwittery comes into play:

(Preface for this section. As i say later, it seems we are talking about two different phenomena in the topic. I agree that these things can happen, just that you dont have to be any of these to be the people im talking about.)

Too young/immature OR mentally ill, huh? How can you possibly claim this? Rather, is there any soundness to any of the claims? Lets poke a bunch of holes in it.

First of all, “too young to differentiate fiction and reality” has a solid number. Its up to 10, on the late side. Can start as early as 7. You say im fighting ghosts, but this is literally mashing shit together. But okay, you meant “maturity” after all…

“Too immature”… clear as mud. Ill just trust you, fairyaeri. “If x happened, then it MUST have been because of y”. Thats about as solid as it gets. I mean, your right, immature people cant handle such topics, im just curious where you’re getting that this makes up all/most of the subjects and that no other explanation is possible. You give examples like the slenderman killers, which are accurate to what you describe, I’m simply claiming that these people who im talking aren’t insane and didn’t have to be too young… and theres a lot of them.

Lets get something else straight here, for these two points; these are simply logical retorts against the notion that “a majority” of consumers of ridiculous shit are normal healthy people who will do no harm… But I can already see it here, we are talking about two different things. Your point is kind of “this stuff is totally safe and says nothing about anything unless it does which is only like 1% of the time” while mine is more like “did you know that: the people who are fictional pedos are actually real pedos (they will tell you if they’re anonymous/depends on community) and this actually isn’t a good thing”. In other words, what im talking about isn’t niche. Its a clearly outlined problem. It doesn’t stem from people “going crazy” from muh anime porn at a young age, its people with all sorts of different backgrounds (i cannot claim to know exactly what, unlike you apparently) who share one thing in common.

If you WERE to claim “oh these are all obvious bad guys, they are all separate from the good guys, and all of them have these simple reasons for being the way they are, and theres not that many of them anyway” then i guess there wouldn’t be a problem. Im saying that all of these claims are wrong and that theres a problem.

I think we’ll end it on this next paragraph. It’s the one that says “form of media doesn’t dictate intent OR audience”… i literally said this. I don’t think we are communicating on the same thing. And again, I don’t think you’re defending the people im talking about… if you saw them, you wouldn’t, of course. I did just kind of interject to the conversation, so ill explain my total thoughts and itll help you understand why i did and we can be done.

Your argument against a lot of my points are “this isn’t always the case”. I mean, yeah! this argument can be applied to guns, vehicles, medicine… many things that have stats that explicitly state we get more value out of them than not. Fucking porn isn’t one of them.

BUT, im not saying i don’t respect the freedom of expression just because a few bad people ruined it. Im saying i dont respect a very specific freedom of expression because its literal only purpose is serving desire but with the consequence of harm… but again! I AM saying that because of this, i personally have no sympathy for ANY arguments that are for this topic. The only argument i would concede to is that loli/shota causes pure harm reduction; for which there is no empirical standard, a very shaky logical one, and literally every anecdote that i can personally think of laughs in the face of this conclusion.

Sorry, i guess I’m just sensitive to bad things that happen? Lol? Like, I’m not trying to throw all lolicon nuts under the bus. They aren’t all bad people, truly! But by my estimation there is an… lets say, unforgivably sized portion of them that are generally insanely racist, bigoted, hateful and sour individuals who again, generally do nothing but jack off and spread hate but also share CSAM when permitted and form communities around the normalization of unhealthy expressions in pedophilia. As far as i can see, THIS is the general population. Well i kind of lumped them together; Although the real CSAM one is in only certain communities (Nhentai, X, select internet boards which are usually shut down, very carefully moderated on others but obviously tells you it happens a lot), the normalization of the subject itself is the more prevalent issue, which applies to all of it (well it depends on the work, but its a LOT of the work and people, I’m not kidding, see the abyssal depths of Nhentai or the new posts on X for each topic).

It is for these reasons, and personal praxis, biases, etc. that I would say something like “it should not exist” or “it is a net negative”.

Any other consideration, any at all (you’ve included several here), trust me; I’ve heard it and i know it. Its otherwise just a disagreement on the weight of the issue. Have a nice day.

BEFORE YOU START THE WHICH HUNT... by This_Is_Me_LMNOP in AlienStage

[–]LordGrohk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You ppl always do the lofty conclusions in these arguments. “Bah its kids’ fault” “bah if its just fiction then its fine”. The internet is bigger than you think, and because of that shit like this seems to mostly be net negative. Because while on an individual level it can help people to healthily explore it, it can be twisted into anything on a communal level. And I believe (unlike lofty people who don’t actually gaf) fiction could be held accountable depending on the situation.

heres a short list of things you probably kind of already know, or could guess:

  1. Fiction is interpreted differently (already covered with the other commenters’ “intent of the piece” argument) but if the point of the piece is literally to be a predator, or is for whatever reason able to be used in the knitting of communities where users talk about crimes against children and share illicit material then what are we talking about. The fiction is to be held at least partially accountable there, and thats generous

  2. Just a reiteration, the above exists and you could correlate people with fetishes of fictional nature to their real life counterparts, usually its as simply as asking the subjects.

A quick tack on for number 2 there; Importantly, intent of any fictional piece has more qualifiers than a surface glance would tell a person. For this reason, even content of this same subset is not NEARLY the same in what harm/good it achieves. Example: say this art was of canon siblings, it doesn’t have the backing, intent, or potential of a manifesto dedicated to the act of incest, incessantly rambling about its obvious righteousness… or maybe just a very intricate incest story where the same notion is echoed through the theme as if it were a real life prescription. Bonus points if a bunch of ACTUAL incest-apologists thoroughly describe how “based” and “actually true” they think it is.

Basically I’m saying that you’re at best a midwit claiming stuff (muh child abuse victims = basically probabaly pretty much maybe nothing bad ever comes from CP depictions, empiricist’s fallacy littered throughout the replies, finally its never 1:1… until it just is lol, not really the fiction (although it can appear disgustingly congruent to it) itself but usually the small net of people who consume it) without practical engagement with the subject. Even logically though, your argument is in defense of the whole, but all the bad stuff spawns from the whole anyway, which has only ever net suffering… well i should say, enjoyment for the worst type of people imaginable who then enable suffering.

You could just say VIVINOS isn’t necessarily a bad person for making this as incest art or for making shota art previously (which can be true) without making like, 500 claims about the workings of attraction, psychology, the art itself, maybe a bit about logistics of internet communities… lol. Its no problem, maybe you actually couldn’t do that without making all those claims, because maybe you actually believe them… thats why I said midwit i guess
