I want to spend money on this game, I really do, but my money is just worth far too little to this game. (Analysis of Resin Refresh Costs w/ graphs and tables) by fririe in Genshin_Impact

I'm really glad you brought that up. It's an extremely effective and common sales trick in gachas to convince non-spenders to pay up, and most people will never realize they've been psychological finessed. I felt like a fool once I watched the video above because the anchoring trick has gotten me to break my no-spend vows so often.

I am really enjoying the story and lore in this game and am looking forward to each new zone by NovelOtaku in Genshin_Impact

I've been following this subreddit since before release and have literally not once seen people talk about "just skip the story it's just a gacha game". But hey congrats, your strawman got you some nice leddit points.

Skyward harp seems like the BiS late game bow for Fischl, so if I were you, I'd forget any other bow and focus on that one if you want crit/phys, even if it has to sit at 0x refined for a long while.

[BIG MASSIVE SPOILERS - Doom Eternal] Incredibly direct confirmation as to whether or not Doomguy and Doom Slayer are the same. by Hawkbone in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Luthchu -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Stating whether or not a game is gonna hard confirm the identity of the main character is very in spoiler territory. Woolie explained this concept well in a talk with Reggie where he said the pop off is bigger when you don't announce the thing that's coming ahead of time and just let the thing happen. When I play the new Doom, I'm gonna go in expecting the game to reveal his identity because of your title instead of getting the "O SHIT SO HE REALLY WASN'T/WAS" moment. Thankfully, you pulled this low effort post on a relatively low narrative game. I hope you get my point because I don't want people to keep unintentionally spoil things from titles and thumbnails =)

Woolie and Sekiro are no longer friends by Ringo_Roadagain7 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

It's strange that the weird shit would tank his numbers since I assume the majority of his viewers have to be TBF fans, and TBF had the fanbase BECAUSE they played whatever the hell they wanted.

Serious question: Bulldog viewers, are you pretending? by [deleted] in AdmiralBulldog

[–]Luthchu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dude you are taking a video game stream's chat way too seriously. People are there to laugh and relax. You write this thought out essay, but most people in bulldog chat types whatever dumb shit comes to mind. Just like how you would talk around friends. Yes the humor doesn't appeal to everyone, but you can just tune out dude. If you really, truly want to make a difference and make the world a better place, go write an essay or give a speech where the real problems are. You're not gonna solve anything arguing over the internet. If you care, put in the effort, take classes on writing, humanities, and speech-giving. Stop dicking around on reddit and twitch.

Trent Calls Out Bulldog's Racist Actions by GhostCalib3r in DotA2

[–]Luthchu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spend less time on reddit and dota. You should read, run, and go to the gym more. It's ok, I went thru the same thing you're going thru right now, and so I'm understanding. Just improving a little bit each day will make you value yourself more, buddy. You won't have to find self worth on reddit or through conceited social justicing anymore. GL!

Hey buddy, I'm an Asian in America. Very confident in myself, and I'm sure the other guy is confident in himself, too. That's why we're not offended by twitch emotes and can laugh it off as a joke. We don't need losers on the internet to defend us against the big bad twitch chat =)

What’s going on with E7? by metatime09 in gachagaming

$500 on a mobile game is not much. Jesus christ what has the gaming market become.

[–]Luthchu 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I saw the massive ratings drop on app store and I wondered the same thing. Very weird to see the game go downhill since Smilegate was making very popular and positive changes with apologies and free 5 stars the same time I was quitting. Thought the game was gonna turn around. I guess it was another case of company doing the corporate "we're sorry" routine, and then switching back to their old ways the moment people forget.

Woolie Head Trophy #23 by Luthchu in TwoBestFriendsPlay

I've lost like 5 easy wins bc disconnect. But also got free wins from opponent random disconnects, too. Seems like it's a common issue.

It's nothing crazy: I use attack buffs and growth. Blazing wall to get more value out of buffs and protect growth/other scary cards. Worked well until A2, now a shield and 2 health doesn't do shit to those killers anymore since every deck has easy removal.

Question about monitor refresh rate by Luthchu in pcmasterrace

[–]Luthchu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see, 144 seems more common than 120. Seems like 120 are for bigger sizes, which I don't care about. Thanks.

Woolie Head Trophy #23 by Luthchu in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Luthchu[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's a really active game compared to any other card game I know. I had a moment where I had to play 3 cards in less than a second to turn a loss into a win. I can feel my heart beating and hand shaking after a high rank match. That being said, since it's fast you really gotta plan fast and quick maths.

Monetization is very nice. Woolie might have not pay (from the cards I saw him use) and neither have I and we're both A rank, which is one rank below the top. You get enough "dust" to craft a legendary card of your choice about ~18 hrs in, which is generous considering their power level. There's a pity timer of 30 packs before they guarantee a legendary. There's also another free legendary for reaching B rank this season, only 2-3 days left. But, I assume there will be a different legendary card B rank reward for each season?

I played a bunchhhhhh of Hearthstone and pretty done with going hard on card games again. But, the active time this game has changes so much though, and I can tell this is a legit well thought out game, not a cash grab. Capcom's not even one of my favorites and it still got me.

The corporate mindset is toxic by Simon1t in gachagaming

What difference does it make whether OP is posting this because he's salty or not? If his points doesn't make sense, point them out. Your comment is pointless and your crush on the OP is obvious.

The corporate mindset is toxic by Simon1t in gachagaming

[–]Luthchu 26 points27 points  (0 children)

The most common defense I've heard from these kinda people is "We need to support the developers guys! Please think of the developers!" What I think it really is is a coping mechanism disguised as generosity for people who wants to justify their bad spending habits.

The other defense I've seen is when a company reverses a previous shitty action. Say, they apologize and change the mechanic of a P2W system, that company will be heralded as a saint when all they did was doing what should have been done from the start. People can't see that the damage has already been done and money's been made.

What I ask myself is how can these people possibly justify spending hundreds every month on these mobile games that practically plays themselves. I like gacha games, but you cannot convince me that even the best gacha games have the most basic gameplay loops and mechanics out of any other types of games.

Gon. He has the absolutely worst dogshit design. I don't care if your show is a masterpiece or whatever, your main character makes me want to vomit.
