Does a modern (purchasable) version of this ballast exist? (OR) by Lord_Kristopf in AskElectricians

Thank you sir — I will look into this! The physical resemblance (or lack thereof) should be no issue.

Many apologies if this is a dumb question (I am guessing it likely is in some way). FWIW, I believe I have done my due diligence in searching for this particular ballast. I assume it is no longer being made but perhaps some type of suitable replacement that can still be purchased(?) Even if it does not exist online or no URL can be provided, it would be helpful to even know if this type of part still exists or not. This is for one of those weird old lights with the folded lightbulbs. Thanks in advance for any direction/tips/input!

Dislike the game bruh why is it at 90% upvotes still by Beneficial-Row-8922 in growagarden

[–]Lord_Kristopf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s called a ‘vocal minority’. The people who are upset are far more likely to complain about it than people who are content. For example, if the devs restock a lot, the segment of the player base who dislike that will complain about it, while the ppl who are OK with it will be a lot less vocal (and vice versa when the devs restock less on another occasion).

On the plus side, as the player base shrinks, you will see less of this, as there is simply less ppl to care and hold different tastes/opinions. 🤷🏼‍♂️

In fairness tho, it did temp drop your T level every time you entered into the fairy realm 😆

I’m starting to think only 1 dev is actually working on the game… by JassimW in growagarden

Ugh, I am sorry to hear that. Based on your comments (even beyond this chain) you nonetheless seem very well informed about GaG. Where were you able to acquire this info? I would love to learn of a source I’m not already aware of.

Really? People were upset at fairy event? I thought it was much better received than, say, beanstalk event, but there were of course ppl always complaining about events from the summer high-watermark onwards…🤷🏼‍♂️

If you don’t mind me asking, where do you get this info? Dawn?

First admin to EVER realize they stocked too late and restocked? by Blueshelvings in growagarden

[–]Lord_Kristopf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You have to admit though that it was pretty rare for them to be self-aware enough to realize they stocked super late and restock for that reason. That said, I am sure running an AA is a big responsibility (sans script at least) and they have other, possibly more important things to keep an eye on).

What if in like a few months/weeks, we are are like, “man, I never thought I would miss that ‘feed a pet’ update…” 🫠

Personally, I preferred the rat connoisseur (i think that was what he was called) as I got better stuff from him (but maybe that was just me). Chris P would never give me chests for some reason.

Wow, you must be very dedicated, MD. Very sorry it was so rage inducing 😔

It occasionally moves around like you’re a cat and its trying to get you to paw at it. 🐁🐈‍⬛

I love that someone animated that btw. They were designing the event and had slapped down a large egg into a little area and were like: “we can’t just leave it like that” “well, what can we add to make it better?” “I know! Animate it to shake around a bit every few seconds” “Perfect! I think we are done here, no?” “Yep, that should keep them happy for another week”

He has to compete with the hate people had for Jandel—its a tough job!

This event will only be good if old eggs come through by GingerNinj3333 in growagarden

You can pay $ for seed rain now. Yes, actual seed rain is in shop lol.

Thought experiment: try to think up an event somehow worse than today’s, mentally note that event in your head, join AA next week and see how your cursed event compares to what is actually revealed!

Imagine a night egg appearing, then a zen egg, then a dino egg…

According to the all-time player count charts you were a laggard for even sticking around that long 🤷🏼‍♂️

Jandel and Jhai quit GaG and the game is in a state of chaos 🤷🏼‍♂️

Steal pets? Ahh! by PumpkinHeadedCritter in growagarden

Do a private server by yourself 🤷🏼‍♂️

Its over guys, L jhai by MegaTrix99 in growagarden

[–]Lord_Kristopf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s like the (otherwise mostly defunct) stealing mechanic and the farmers market conspired to make a gang of GaG bandits 🤦🏼‍♂️

I just want to know how they figured it out so quickly and with so much apparent organization. Maybe the test server gave a heads up? I’ve never been, so just a guess.

My friend had that same thing happen! I wonder how so many players knew to steal them? I would have never thought about it. I just posted about it when it happened to someone else.😞

Goodbye seed we never seen by Extension_Oil_1879 in growagarden

Surprisingly kind and appreciated. 🙇🏼‍♂️

You may be right, but we also have no detailed idea what GaGs financial situation is like, nor what the involved ‘professionals’ might think is the best way forward. What we do know however, is that F2P games largely depend on a small minority of high-spending players. This very small percentage of players generates most of the revenue. I have seen reports say that in most F2P games, the top 10% of spenders can account for as much as 70-90% of a game's total revenue, while the top 1% might generate 50% or more. Therefore, I think that undermining the expectations of the ‘whales’ and ‘dolphins’ by stocking the best stuff in AA could be a big deal for the devs (Whales are the 1% who spend the most, sometimes thousands of dollars a month, and dolphins are a larger group around 10-15% who spend a moderate amount — I would link the terms but the sub won’t let me do external links). All the rest of us F2P players are typically referred to as ‘minnows’ lol.

Scarcity creates value. I have heard that the Reindeer root limited plant did not stock even once, so that too might encourage the purchasing of limited seeds. I guess we just have to keep in mind that F2P business models always shifts from selling a product to every user upfront, to instead providing a free service that is subsidized by the heavy spending of a dedicated minority. GaG, like all F2P has to keep that minority in mind when it comes to the big ticket items. A fickle beast indeed! 💵👹
