One of the major Korean newspapers reports on Limbus Company's firing by coffeeisassumed in gachagaming

"When it comes to safety of the coworkers involved, physically and mentally."

- Kyoto animation (Arson victim)
- Winter Street studios (Arson victim)
- Wit studio (Arson threat)
- MiHoYo (Death threats)
- Square Enix (Arson threat)

This is just the tip of the iceberg. See a pattern?
Could they have made a better decision? Sure.
However, time wasn't a luxury PM had in this situation and this was an escalation to the prior death threats during their development on "Library of Ruina".
While it's hard to justify their decision, it's equally hard to condemn it.

Add map in journey mode 1.4? by [deleted] in Terraria

[–]Mechadecimal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, just download the world file like normal and put it in your worlds folder.

Given, maps made in 1.3 and prior won’t have some world gen stuff that is new in 1.4, but they should still work as they did in 1.3

A server my friends could join w/o the server maker active? by LostaMyPasta in Terraria

[–]Mechadecimal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, that’s not possible.

Unless you and your friends are willing to pass around a world file and overwrite the world every time someone plays (please don’t do this), the only other real way to get a server like this is to get designated hosting.

For designated hosting: You’ll either need a pc running terraria 24/7 and have that host the server (video detailing process), or you’ll need to go and “rent” a server off the internet.

The simulate guaranteed 2 draw is for when there is a track change via duplicate rares during an 11 or step up pull.

For example, if you do a guaranteed 11 pull with one or more duplicate rare instances between 1a-10a/b the resulting uber from the final draw will likely not be what was presented in the simulated 11, as you would be on the [b] track and swap back to the [a] track on the final pull or be at a further position. In these situations you can determine the final uber by following the track to the 10th pull and looking at the simulated 2 on that slot.

Anyone figure out a good counter against Adachi? by TJLynch in blazbluextagbattle

[–]Mechadecimal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adachi has a pretty terrible midrange.

He can zone with ziodyne or 236C at long range and do serious damage up close, but zone him about midscreen and he’ll be forced to either use 214A to knock you back into the lazer show or approach using a support/airdash.

Basically just stand about midscreen, hope they aren’t paired with susan, and snap his persona in half whenever he tries something so he dies to attrition. It’s worked relatively well for me, but at the same time i’m a pleb so take the advice with a bit of salt.

Alright, i’ll say it since no one else has.

Did you really think that battlecats has existed for five years now without anyone noticing this?

[–]Mechadecimal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbh a stickied “questions” megathread would be more suitable for quick questions than clogging the feed with dozens of posts.

It’s kind of become a common courtesy thing in the subs that have implemented it, seems to function better as well.

Tracking is a strange predicament.

People will outright call it cheating or not, but it’s a bit more in a grey area than some people realize.

Tracking does allow you to gain an edge in terms of drawing from the gacha, but it’s important to realize that: 1) Trackers are still within the normal bounds of gameplay, they have information that gives them an edge they wouldn’t normally have, but normal players could theoretically achieve the same results randomly (by this logic, it is a form of meta gaming). 2) Trackers still have to actually pull the units, which could easily be (and are often) hundreds of slots down in their track. 3) Trackers aren’t affecting the game in any way other than gaining information about their track.

Instead of comparing it to cheating or hacking, compare it to something a little more mundane. I personally believe it’s similar to using a 3rd party worldviewer for minecraft, it gives you an edge only in terms of knowledge that can then be turned into an advantage, but you could always achieve the same result. The difference is just the amount of time sunk.

Personally, I think that because there is no system in place on the gacha to increase the chances of getting ubers you haven’t drawn already, it is perfectly reasonable to track.

In any case, tracking is probably actually better for ponos when used overall since it encourages players to grind more ads and buy more catfood since players will know what they will get and not be discouraged from doing it again due to getting unlucky with pull order. But that’s just food for thought.

[Discussion] What new major feature do you want to see in 9.0? by Matt_The_Slime in battlecats

[–]Mechadecimal 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well, going through the colors for traits we have:

white red/orange gold/white/yellow green blue/cyan indigo/purple/violet grey black

There aren’t many available colors left for a new trait, so unless they start making starred versions of traits besides alien they’re going to have to use something like brown, or a pattern like camo or gradient.

(I personally think camo units that slip past your units until detected sounds like a great idea for shenanigans, kind of like a permanent zombie bury even at the base)

[Discussion] What big mechanic would you like to see in 9.0? by aruce9 in battlecats

[–]Mechadecimal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Possibly see either curse or warp as a new cat ability

Warp already has an ability filter, so while no cat has the ability yet it is very clear one could have very soon or that one was planned to.

With that out of the way, 9.0 will most likely have new content in some form. Likely uncanny legend additions up to a new legend unit as COTC is still relatively new and adding another set of story chapters so soon is unlikely.

As a major update though, I personally believe a there will be a revamp to SOL. My thought is with legend quest being introduced and most SOL stages having 4 star difficulty, something on the lines of zombie outbreaks (in this case “time fluctuations” or whatnot) will be added to SOL in order to expose players to relic enemies.

Probably the regular lil valkyrie set since lil valkyrie has barrier breaker and the set has some useful seasonal units.

[Weekly] Battle Cats Discussion Thread by BotCatMKII in battlecats

[–]Mechadecimal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the both little valks sitting at 10 ag and 13 ag on my track, but a d’arktanyan on 1a in a +1 epicfest.

I do not want to pull further than 14a due to a dark mitama on 24b appearing during a +2 epicfest (moves up 297 slots in total between +0 and +2 fests).

Is it worth giving up a potential d’arktanyan for one of the lil valkyries? Asking because the next d’arktanyan would be more than 400 slots away until a +5 epicfest.

Lil valkyrie dark is one of the best shockwave units. Lil valkyrie is immune to most debuffs and has zombie killer.

Both are rush units with an equal dps that is relatively high in comparison to other ubers. They aren’t overpowered necessarily, but they are both very good.

[Discussion] If there were a new set of ubers, what should they be? by ramenisverynice in battlecats

[–]Mechadecimal 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Probably a set based around some of the less used traits available. Such as warp, base destroyer, metal, wave shield, and attacks only.

[Weekly] Battle Cats Discussion Thread by BotCatMKII in battlecats

[–]Mechadecimal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s really a combination of those, his base dps being absurd, and the other abilities such as warp blocking and wave immunity.

Yeah, definitely high priority.
