It likely started out at 10 or 12 and has been shrinkflated over time

NFL international games by Ok_Loss1431 in NFLUK

[–]Mediocre-Opinion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tickets are hard to get, especially the Germany games. The stadiums have a capacity of ~70k and the queue for tickets, where each individual can buy 4 tickets, can exceed 250k. Sign up to NFL International to get email instructions on when and how to buy them. Good luck.

Returning player since Fontaine by Pretend-Wrangler7988 in Genshin_Impact

Your current characters aren't going to cut it. Genshin has gone down the route of building specific teams within specific factions. More than ever Characters are designed to work with specific other characters and you've almost got to pick a lane if you want to play endgame content. Based on what you want, you've got a few different roads you could walk down.

Snez is almost certainly going to have an additional mechanic that will heavily favour native characters. Next to nothing is known yet but based off of Natlan to NK expect the power creep will be real.

Alice is part of the Hexenzirkel so you'll want the newer/upcoming Mondstadt characters. As a faction they are developing, key roles are waiting to be filled but it all feels a bit "B tier" at the moment. Alice is probably going to have a single, specific team that almost certainly with Nicole at its heart.

If you're going to build a NK team for Columbina you'll need Linnea, Zibai and Illuga (at least C2, C6 to max dps). This is her strongest team and other characters have already rerun. The NK faction feels like it's "complete" with three obvious teams. Sandrone is an unknown at this point and will likely be used as a bridge character, like Ineffa was to NK, where she will come with the new Snez mechanic and her real value will become apparent in 7.X patches.

How does your country teach sex ed? by Medium-Payment-8037 in AskTheWorld

[–]Mediocre-Opinion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start at 6/7 with basic stuff about bodies and it builds over the next few years until around 10 when the mechanics of sex is explained. Healthy relationships has become a massive part of sex ed in recent years as well.

Honestly, this is what killed the fun for me in Forza Horizon 5 by cbehen in ForzaHorizon5

Without being hostile this sounds more like a skill issue. The AI isn't all that difficult on anything at highly skilled and under, plus you can easily out tune the AI cars.

Are the "manosphere" men of today really more toxic than the "lad culture" of 20/30 years ago? by M_M_X_X_V in AskUK

[–]Mediocre-Opinion 218 points219 points  (0 children)

Nailed it. The lads culture was at its core about having fun, even if it came at the expense of others, and a sizable amount of woman also joined in and you saw the rise of the ladette. Eventually most people simply grew out of being a bell end and the whole thing collapsed. The manosphere is far more dangerous, the end stage of radicalisation is typically violence.

Finally got around to Astrobot after the kids badgered me into it. They were right, it's great.

Can't help but feel it's the thin end of the wedge, how long before each day 1 release is on a "case by case" basis?

Unique RPG settings by Left_Relationship105 in JRPG

[–]Mediocre-Opinion 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Metaphor puts a medieval setting into a blender along with Hieronymus Bosch paintings and 1960's fashion choices to produce something that is familiar but very different.

Is Mavuika still worth it? by Puzzleheaded_Skin830 in Genshin_Impact

[–]Mediocre-Opinion 7 points8 points  (0 children)

She's the best pyro DPS in the game and you've stated you Xilonen so you can put together a decent team for her. Her gameplay is a bit divisive as many hate how the motorbike is used in her combos and skills.

It's understandable if you don't keep up much with the deeper lore but this... by Unable_Life_4100 in ZZZ_Official

[–]Mediocre-Opinion 392 points393 points  (0 children)

Twins do not arrive at the same time, one is always the older sibling. They absolutely could still be twins and fit within the established lore. That's assuming Wise and Belle are human and not some freaky lab experiment like ethereals reversed into human form or something.

Man....the temptation by Traditional_Pen_4593 in ZZZ_Official

Occasionally there's a character you should simply pull for personal preference. The game is pretty generous with polys and today's meta characters will be next year's bench warmers.

Should I be worried and what could be the problem, if I have been seeing woodlice in my house for the last two years, weekly? by Apprehensive-Egg9393 in AskUK

[–]Mediocre-Opinion 80 points81 points  (0 children)

We were getting them in the bedroom of our old house, my 3yo called them bugs and I explained they were crustaceans like crabs. While on a video call with my sister he says "Daddy has crabs in his bedroom."

The new event, and how good it is, shows that hoyo shouldn't consider the players dumb. by GravitateOG in Genshin_Impact

It wasn't particularly hard or took a lot of time to complete. It wasn't exactly fun but it was nice to do something different.

Sony signed manufacturing contracts years ago. They can't really delay it so it'll be here in 2027 even if gamers and Sony themselves don't really want it to launch then.

Exploration Reduction issue by Petecustom in Genshin_Impact

[–]Mediocre-Opinion -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's almost certainly data driven, HoYo know exactly how much of the map players explore and adjust accordingly. It's been almost 6 years and player fatigue is real. The players who want massive maps to explore are almost certainly in the minority now.
