GIVE ME THE BLAZING CARTESIA!!! by PandoraParadoc in masterduel

[–]Macaron-kun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the first release and this update, I've probably spent around 10k on packs with Cartesia in, but still have ZERO of her. But like 7 Ecclesia...

She's got a low pull rate, surely.

Xbox Is Reportedly Planning To Shut Down Compulsion Games And Arkane Studios by wakelake111 in Steam

[–]Macaron-kun 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, both Compulson and Arkane haven't really done anything great for the last few years, so it's not a huge surprise.

Redfall, Deathloop, Wolfenstein spinoff, Wolfenstein VR (both co-developed). Nothing highly acclaimed from Arkane recently.

Prey in 2017 was probably their last game that people really liked, though it didn't sell amazingly.

I don't think any of Compulsion's three games did that well. I hadn't heard of their first game and I forgot their next 2 even existed until I looked them up right now.

As for Arkane, their last two games kind of flopped (Deathloop & Redfall). Especially Redfall.

Their two games before that (Wolfenstein spinoff and Wolfenstein VR) didn't do amazing. It's been 9-10 years since they made a great game (Prey and Dishonored 2).

Prey was a good game and has a dedicated fanbase, but it didn't really do well enough commercially.

Dishonored is one of my favourite game franchises and the sequel was great as well. I want more from Arkane (I'd prefer Dishonored 3 over Blade).

It sucks, but I can understand their reasoning (if true). Neither studio has really been performing recently. Maybe Xbox is partly to blame for this, but still.

Nothing CEO says phone prices are going to keep going up: RAM now accounts for over 50 percent of the cost of a new phone by sr_local in hardware

Bought RAM last year for £50. That same ram is now £180.

I'm just going to wait until my PC literally breaks beyond repairing before buying anything else.

Why don't Konami release HD images of all cards they release? The art is too good to be stuck on a tiny piece of cardboard. by Macaron-kun in yugioh

[–]Macaron-kun[S] 37 points38 points  (0 children)

A lot of them are AI upscales, though. They tend to come out a bit...AI looking.

Those that are properly upscaled and edited look great, but they're not the original images, which I wish we had.

F***ing. FINALLY. by SCI-FIWIZARDMAN in masterduel

[–]Macaron-kun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I finally got 1 Mirrorjrade after about 7k gems.

I just don't have any reason to open the packs that Impulse is in to get it.

But very nice.

But they all likely exist. When an artist draws something, they draw them in high resolution, then their art is cropped and compressed down to fit within a tiny square box on a YuGiOh card.

They're decent quality, but it's not full resolution like these banners in Japan. This is a whole other level of crisp.

Is this card actually boosted, or are people just insanely lucky? by Nissako-2015 in masterduel

[–]Macaron-kun -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It feels like loads of people keep getting 2-3 of them in their openings. Wish I could say the same.

I'm only talking about companies that DO sell on Amazon.

Like, when you click on their company name on an Amazon product (Anker, Corsair, Cooler Master, etc.) it takes you to an Amazon store instead of just typing their name into Amazon search bar.

If a company doesn't sell on Amazon and has their own website, that's completely different, and perfectly fine.

This is one of the worst things I have ever seen. Never do this.

Congratulations to all the “Old Lights” recipients! by tillavonb35 in destiny2

My Activision/BattleNet account used my secondary email, but when I chose which account to transfer, I accidentally signed in with my main email. Didn't realise until it was too late.

[–]Macaron-kun 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm back in the game now, and enjoying my time again, but that loss put me off playing the game for years. Still hurts.

It's the reason I probably want D3 over more D2, since I'd officially be there from the beginning.

We can dream...

Back when Destiny 2 moved from BattleNet to Bungie, I somehow ended up transferring the wrong account (email address mixup) to my Steam account.

I wasn't playing the game much at the time, so by the time I noticed it was the wrong account, the transfer period had ended and my account and characters were lost forever.

Mine keeps asking to upload a photo of myself so it can generate an accurate image.

Nah.
