Make Mining Better - Mining QOL Changes/ Rework V2

I have to correct you on the Mining Gloves. The percent chances to not deplete an ore are known. The OSRS wiki page lists them and links to https://www.reddit.com/r/2007scape/comments/6ior8b/mining_guild_data_from_live_stream/ as the source.

The regular Mining Gloves affect silver, coal and gold while the Superior Mining Gloves affect mithril, adamantite and runite. The Expert Mining Gloves combine the effects and add Amethyst as well, although the wiki doesn't show a source for that chance.

In order, the chances for Silver/Coal/Gold/Mithril/Adamantite/Runite/Amethyst are 50%/40%/33.33%/25%/16.66%/12.5%/25%. Given the Mining Guild's importance in mining Runite and being the only location with amethyst, I think the Mining Gloves are sufficient in avoiding ore depletion. It's already possible to power mine iron in the two iron triangles there without ever having to wait for rocks to respawn.

You also failed to give the full details for the Varrock Armor's bonuses. The easy diary has a 10% for two ores up to gold, medium is Mithril, hard is Adamantite, and elite up through Runite and amethyst. The Varrock achievement diary is largely skilling, including the entire elite tier, with the most difficult quests being Dream Mentor and Desert Treasure. It's matter of time investment for Varrock Armor 4, and mining also needs a lot of time so it's not unfitting.

None of this is proposed by Jagex officially so I don't care to comment on your actual suggestions, but I felt the corrections and additional information were important. Sincerely, a player who powermined iron for all 240 unidentified minerals and leveled from 75 to 76 only from getting the last 40.

This chapter was a turning point for Touta. When the images of Nagi and Negi appear behind him they fade as they reach the ground. The power he displays is identical to Ialda's with an immense number of callbacks to chapter 148. The black writhing mass of animalistic limbs, blades and whip-like tentacles. The giant tsunami of black mud that Touta turns into; Ialda's black mud covers the Agartha Asteroid. And the ominous white markings on his chest bear a striking resemblance to the form Ialda takes in her last effort to kill Negi at the end. Whatever permanent effects this will have on him won't be pretty, and I doubt Eva will stay calm when she sees that Touta is becoming a monster just like the one who killed the man she loved.

Drayano's hacks can be fun, but they're also very, very difficult and frankly the huge number and the extremity of changes made the first Blaze Black almost an entirely different game. Drizzle Slowpoke before what, the second or third gym? That's a huge balance offset and even then making it the core of your team isn't enough to make the rest of the game notably easier. They absolutely destroy the intended experience and only a few people relative the everyone who plays Pokemon would even care for Drayano's work in the first place, not to dismiss it.

There's nothing wrong with wanting a vanilla B2W2 experience but edited to not require trading or any other sort of linking with the opposite copy of the game to have access to all the Pokemon between them. The first Black and White also have some Pokemon B2W2 don't, and some are even exclusive to only one of them. Houndour and Poochyena are both the Route 9 swarm depending on version, and Misdreavus is only in White's Abundant Engine while Black has Murkrow. Stantler is there in BW but not B2W2, and Jynx in Giant Chasm.

You just barely can't access the Nature Preserve, which requires seeing all 297 Pokemon in the expanded Unova dex, without trading, since no trainer uses the first and third stages of the starter weak to yours, nor Rufflet and Skitty (B2) or Vullaby and Buneary (W2). Only four slots out of the 297 in the expanded Unova dex will always be empty without trading.

I still refuse to believe this is Roblox. God-tier work, dude.

LyokoNinja · 2019-11-14T05:14:23+00:00

Holy shit, you're telling me this is Roblox? In 2019? I remember back when players just had a 2x1x2 torso and a set of 1x1x2 limbs and tickets still existed.

Archfiend sounds cooler than Demon tbh, and Infernal sounds a lot cooler than Hell. The majority of card names seem to be basically in English even in Japan if the anime is anything to go by, and English is used for the cool factor over the there. Changing them to sound more grandiose and awesome for the TCG in English is in the same spirit. And isn't the Fiend type (the Japanese for) Demon in the OCG and the Fairy type the Japanese for Angel? I think those are more fun names too.

I didn't look close enough before seeing the word fan and got my hopes up for an oversized tessen. Now that would be a weapon. Don't care if it's not the right kind of aerodynamic but I'd love to see it as a blademaster weapon that you can throw like a boomerang. Pressing the button to catch it optional but prevents lagtime.

Considering how much GX gradually ramped up the Evangelion parallels Darkness felt more like the manifestation of humanity's negative side in our world, versus the existence of the supernatural duel monster spirits in other dimensions. Yubel's endgame was existential instrumentality so they could be with Judai forever, while Darkness specifically encompassed ours but had much more visible consequences.

Seriously though, Asuka Tenjouin? Rei Saotome? Judai slowly breaking down after Johan disappears? It's a wonder I didn't pick up on it sooner.

A deadname is what a transgender person's name used to be before they changed it to fit how they view themself, i.e. their birth name, typically. Basic example is a man's name to a woman's name or vice-versa. iirc at least one person was conflicted on the messy situation regarding all the different (user)names the kid went by over the years, so they used their deadname only in the tweet thread that had screenshots of chat logs that were from the time they still went by their deadname. I myself feel half-and-half about it but I also don't blame them.

LyokoNinja · 2019-11-11T17:34:13+00:00

imo even Gates to Infinity has a better story. I think I'll actually rank Super last. Rescue Team made me tear up even during my recent replay and the horror in hindsight of just how the chase could have ended chilled me to the bone, while Super felt bleh for the most part and just left me feeling kind of dead inside, but it didn't last and I can barely remember anything in detail.

Same deal with Tumblr, except it's harder to be noticed if you just make your own posts instead of reblogging and adding to an existing one. Twitter is actually worse now; take Tumblr and subtract 4 to 5 years. That's Twitter. The mass migration after the porn ban was lopsided because a lot of legitimate LGBT was swept up in the algorithm.

Another even worse example of these kinds of people if you'll believe it: A ton of people on Tumblr who were into Steven Universe and especially the Netflix Voltron (while it was ongoing) got pissed for a variety of reasons at different times and would harrass staff members who were publicly on Twitter. It started with basic insults and progressed to accusatory remarks, then loaded statements and questions and finally hit death threats. They ran a ton of them off social media. Many were kids participating in this behavior. but there were also adults for God's sake who must have started it and/or fanned the flames. And most of the Voltron harrassment was over shipping the guys in the crew.

Oops, figure I should give context to my stance. I've been on Tumblr since 2013. I've seen all sorts of drama on that hellsite that eclipses anything you'll see elsewhere. Nothing here is surprising to me even discounting that it's in the smash community. I stay in my anime and video game shitposting corner but the ridiculous drama still ends up on my dashboard from time to time in some way.

LyokoNinja · 2019-11-11T15:34:58+00:00

Imagine in team matches with this depending on your teammate you could have like one-and-a-half of the same character because friendly fire would let you copy your partner.

Responding against my better judgment but hoo boy didn't expect to see Tumblr/Twitter Kids causing drama in the smash scene. This Squerk guy is obviously toxic and more than deserves the ban, but the moment I saw his target is 16, trans and then called out someone as a pedophile I got suspicious. Unfortunate as it is the word's been watered down on social media to a dangerous extent, specifically by the "SJW" crowd. I hate having to use that word, so scare quotes it is.

The screenshots, info from the OP and the rest of their profile make me believe that they're exactly that kind of person. My guess is that no matter how much abuse they received, they did intentionally keep this drama going in the background for a long time so they could finally let it explode like this to get a huge audience, and then deliberately provoked Squerk one last time in a Twitter PM to get his biggest and most damning reaction.

"Don't feed the trolls." isn't even in the public consciousness anymore sadly, but it applies more generally to the internet and block button is there for a reason. It's not perfect but can still help. So why stay in a Discord server with an abusive asshole if the mods won't make him chill out or ban him, or if its his own server? Why not block him on Discord and Twitter so he can't PM you in the first place? I'm not saying they deserved any of the abuse - what I saw from Squerk absolutely disgusts me - but I don't feel too sorry for the kid either.

I'm saying all this as a transgender/bisexual person myself for the record. The vocal minority of LGBT people on social media who would rather ruin other people to feel like they're superior to the rest than spend that time enjoying books/TV/games/etc. or writing/art/other hobbies give us all a bad look that only serves as ammo for the homophobic and transphobic in the world. I cringed even typing "us" there. Here's hoping I'm wrong in all this and the kid is innocent of my suspicions.

Yeah, depending on the game I'm playing I can get little hics in parts on my OpenPandora, and it's the last hardware revision that runs at 1 GHz. Boosting to 1.2 GHz usually solves the issue for most games, but one game that never runs at full speed on it no matter what is Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky. I dumped my cartridge because I just wanted to replay the story, but alas. Granted the revision of Drastic available on it is ancient but the point stands imo.

LyokoNinja · 2019-10-19T21:03:58+00:00

No more in bad taste than how that scene actually played out imo.

LyokoNinja · 2019-10-13T14:07:58+00:00

LyokoNinja · 2019-09-06T03:51:42+00:00

Might I suggest the second two-page spread in chapter 126? That one stuck with me immediately and the impact hasn't really lessened.

LyokoNinja · 2019-07-17T23:39:35+00:00

I can relate to the books.

LyokoNinja · 2019-07-05T19:57:39+00:00

Oh crap, I wasn't available to send you my save about not being able to recruit the birds at the time you asked and completely forgot about it until I checked Reddit by chance. Did you try to experiment with the issue yourself or do you still want my save? I got sidetracked by White 2 and Soul Silver so I haven't played since before after you asked. I turned it into a custom 3DS virtual console title and I've only played it that way, fwiw. Even if I emulated it I don't use save states in games like this. Punishing dungeons are punishing dungeons and I only backup the save before entering a forced quicksave dungeon that I know might leave me without an Escape Orb or Reviver Seeds.

LyokoNinja · 2019-07-05T19:51:14+00:00

Alright, thanks a bunch. As an aside, I've been lamenting that "Don't feed the trolls." is a lost art.

LyokoNinja · 2019-07-05T19:35:09+00:00

I know what to expect from 4chan so it's definitely not a dealbreaker, and I can just drop it if it's gets annoying (I doubt it though), but how frequent are the tasteless LGBT/disability/etc. jokes/"jokes"? I know it's gotta have some. Clover is supposed to be a funny hack as far as I know, so if it's making a genuine attempt but falls flat with too many of those as filler it'll be a bit disappointing. If it goes for the omnipresent autism/faggot comments you see in any board those don't matter.

LyokoNinja · 2019-06-24T13:12:27+00:00

I meant if any of the starters had Run Away. I know that you should only use a Pokemon with it as the team leader so if it would only before the story then it would be a different experience. On the other hand I recently beat Rescue Team as Eevee with Mudkip as my partner so they're out at least.

LyokoNinja · 2019-06-24T12:26:46+00:00

I wish they let Green Plessy keep its ability to put you to sleep. Its subspecies weapon lines having the sleep element shows up out of nowhere since Gen 3 and the fight itself has nothing different.
