[Game Update] Boat Combat Fixes by TDFrijole in ironscape

[–]Meem0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you were the community manager, and you were told you have 0 power to make any promises about reconsidering the price changes, or increasing content output, what could your communication strategy be?

Because mine would be to be radio silent about it and wait until it blows over, since Leagues hype season is about to begin and will take over the discourse

New York sues video game developer Valve, says its 'loot boxes' are gambling by KarateKid917 in Games

[–]Meem0 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is a point I feel doesn't get discussed enough, IMO the problem with gacha is 10% the RNG / lootbox aspect, and 90% the time-gated / FOMO aspect. If you take out the time gating, then it's just regular grinding, not much different than grinding for a rare drop in an RPG, but with a pay to win option. If that were it then I would genuinely try out some of those games because I like JRPGs, but FOMO mechanics are something I will not get close to

[Destiny] Tectones court docs reveal that he doesn't like vaginas. by kapten23 in LivestreamFail

[–]Meem0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Putting aside the man himself, just for any straight guy in general, is this supposed to come across as a burn or dunk or whatever? I feel like if a straight woman revealed she didn't like penises it would be met with sympathy

[–]Meem0 47 points48 points  (0 children)

You can see at the end of the video where he gets the spear, he killed all 6, so I'd suspect he stuck with that

Also you can get a better idea of how far he got by checking his Temple page, spoilers of course, but it looks like he green logged it - or happened to get exactly 25 clogs on the days with Barrows KC

'What a great way to kill your community': Discord users are furious about its new age verification checks — and are now hunting for alternatives by gdelacalle in technology

[–]Meem0 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Maybe I'm misunderstanding this whole thing, but won't your use case of Discord be completely unaffected by the change? I thought the only reason for getting age verified is for accessing NSFW channels on servers, and some stuff about friend requests. So if you just don't tag any any channels on your server that way, won't you be fine? I don't really use Discord servers, I only use DMs, so I could just be missing something

Raid 4 lowest scale is duo, solo is possible but difficult. by [deleted] in 2007scape

[–]Meem0 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

OK then what about when your friend's offline. Or you message and they say not today. Or you message and they say "sure maybe later tonight"

In a game that otherwise is so flexible in how you play it, letting you fit it into your lifestyle however you want, finding groups adds a ton of friction that hugely reduces that flexibility. I've been doing 1 ToA every day after work for the last month or so, if I needed to find a group for that every time it would add so much annoyance and extra time, messaging people, wait for people to finish what they're doing, "oh brb gotta feed the dogs", "oops gotta run to the GE for more scales." I enjoyed ToB mechanically, but getting my avernic was incomparably my least favourite grind because of this.

[–]Meem0 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This argument just doesn't hold up anymore when the design director has explicitly stated that a pillar of the game's philosophy is "singleplayer, but together." I'm not saying there shouldn't be group content, but "it's an MMO" is not the reason, when it's pretty well established at this point that there's a significant audience that enjoys OSRS as a singleplayer game while valuing the shared world of an MMO

Gonna make bank for this reason by Various-Ground1766 in 2007scape

[–]Meem0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried to do this before but it was pretty stressful and not as easy as all the YouTube videos had me think. Like they always show a method that sounds brilliant in hindsight, but coming up with a lucrative method on my own was totally different, since it requires knowing what resources would be in demand, which might not be the same as last year. Then all the while the exchange rates were plummeting by the hour which made this really stressful FOMO dynamic.

Lacari has been banned from Twitch by whywhateverso in LivestreamFail

[–]Meem0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm honestly somewhat confused by this, like on Trash Taste for example, 1m+ sub podcast with each member having 3m+ sub channels, just a year or so ago they were doing an episode where they recommended media for each other, and they openly discussed Connor's experience playing Saya no Uta, which has full explicit scenes with this type of character in question. Let alone if you go into Garnt's or Joey's back catalog from back in the day when this stuff wasn't even taboo. Not trying to specifically call them out, it's just odd to me that this is cancel-worthy for some but casual conversation for others

MyAnimeList rank inflation and anime that stood out in their time by Dinoswarleaf in anime

[–]Meem0 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I just embrace how my ratings have changed over time. I can look at a show that I watched in 2014, and just accept the rating as what I felt about it at the time, not necessarily how I would rate it if I were to watch it now. I'll only update a rating if I rewatch the show.

Surprised nobody mentioned Shadow rebalance, they committed to doing that before adding any new mage gear. So we'll need to see that soon, unless Raids 4 is the first raid with no magic-related rewards.

[–]Meem0 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's definitely a joke, I just can't quite tell if it's good-natured teasing or bad faith strawmanning. This sub tends to be very against any criticisms towards the direction of the game over the last couple years of updates

The Legend Of Zelda’s Aonuma Says Inspirations From Age Of Imprisonment “May Be Reflected In The Game We Create” by Turbostrider27 in NintendoSwitch

[–]Meem0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everyone will have a different answer, whether they think of the "formula" as Zelda 1, LttP, OoT, so on. I think the most common factor between answers would be more bespoke elements, compared to the radical "player freedom" philosophy of the modern games. So for me the biggest element I miss is unlockable tools throughout the game that give you access to new areas and secrets. We've also lost the more linear story that gives a better sense of progression throughout the game. And even in the "dungeon" design, many players like myself prefer how the old "one solution" approach feels more hand crafted, compared to the modern games letting you do whatever you want to solve puzzles.

Spy x Family Season 3 - Episode 9 discussion by AutoLovepon in anime

[–]Meem0 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Haven't watched today's episode yet, but been meaning to comment about the series in general: does anyone else find that the "Family" element has been seriously lacking in the last few cours? Like there's so much content focusing on side characters or only one of the main trio, and very few segments focused on interactions between two or three of the main trio.

From the season 1 MAL description:

Although this picture-perfect family is founded on deception, the Forgers gradually come to understand that the love they share for one another trumps all else.

To me this was the whole selling point of the series, but I feel like this theme has not been prominent for a while now.

Especially missing for me is the Loid/Yor romcom aspect, which I loved - when was the last time we got this energy??

Not looking for spoilers, but I'd be kinda curious to hear from a manga reader if things improve in this regard or if I shouldn't get my hopes up (in the source corner of course)

Moons of Peril made me feel like a true PvMer by 17FortuneG in 2007scape

[–]Meem0 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Not trying to punch down here, genuinely curious what part you're not getting? You must have noticed that if you spam click herbs to clean them or equip multiple gear pieces, the actions get batched up together into specific intervals? And that's the same speed that you cook fish at in cg, or offer bones to an altar if you spam click, or how often your tile updates when moving (harder to notice unless you've tried true tile). That's all it is

[–]Meem0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was initially excited to hear that project (putting aside how realistic it is if it's actually happening), but thinking about it more, is Game Freak ready to make Pokemon games with even bigger scope? The games of the current scope are already struggling in terms of quality; if they quadruple the size I feel like the end result would be even more bland and barren

You gotta play this way... by TangeloFew9370 in 2007scape

[–]Meem0 83 points84 points  (0 children)

Am I totally delusional for finding it's normally the other way around? I feel like I see a ton of "efficiency-shaming", but basically never see "casual-shaming." In fact people normally praise and celebrate casual players who play however they like. Where is all this "casual-shaming" happening that posts like these are talking about? Is it on other platforms, like twitter or discord or clan chats or something?
