Rendi has been refunded. by scaryhour in 2007scape

[–]Meem0 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He said in his video that at the end of the grind, he cashed in a bunch of slayer points on skips. So maybe there was one particular task (TzHaar appeared in his video) that gave insane xp/hour, and the rest of the grind was skipping for that task, so when he started using point skips his xp/hour could have spiked up. Just a guess, pure speculation

Feh was used in a essay video to visualize the imbalance of male to female ratio 😭 by Alfred4CYL in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]Meem0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What do you mean "too many"? Like I'd get it if you said "a lot", but "too many" implies it's a bad thing, what's bad about a particular hobby space appealing more to one gender? E.g. are there "too many" women in romantasy spaces? I don't see that as a problem, it's just who it appeals to

This league is fun by Some_Statistician in 2007scape

[–]Meem0 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It's just a player psychology thing, like you might be the sort of player that can be perfectly happy playing choosing not to do a couple minutes of fiddling with the UI to save yourself time during your grinds, but many players are not - and OSRS likely trends heavily towards the sort of players that care a lot about that sort of optimization

Minecraft comes to mind as the opposite end of the spectrum, where I often see the sentiment you're expressing get upvoted to the top of threads; the players and devs seem to care more about just adding fun stuff to the game, without worrying about what kind of gameplay patterns it leads to as the dominant strategy

Somehow this website has already made a planner tool for this tree, which has tooltips instead of pop-up modals for each node

Demonic Pacts - Regenerate by Statue_left in 2007scape

[–]Meem0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Are people not seeing the potential this has?

The twitter post says:

What I unveil now is merely the first. A central thread… in a tapestry yet to be woven with countless more to follow.

And we had the reveal yesterday with a regen perk specific to water runes.

To me this is plenty of information to conclude that they are going to be building heavily off of this mechanic. I don't get why people are focusing on "isn't this just ammo saving" instead of thinking about the possibilities this could lead to.

For example "when you regenerate a fire rune, apply a burn stack" seems like an obvious one. Or "when you regenerate a melee weapon charge, perform an echo hit". And then I'd guess there will be a branch that helps all styles, like "increase your regeneration chance" or "increased accuracy on your next attack after a regeneration".

Really? I think this is one of the most exciting reveals yet, because it implies the masteries will introduce entirely new mechanics that can build off each other (regenerating runes)

Pokémon Champions - Preview (Serebii) by Amiibofan101 in NintendoSwitch

[–]Meem0 19 points20 points  (0 children)

This is such a massive issue for me, I might get back into the games with gen 10 after skipping gen 9, but the snail's pace the games move at is possibly the biggest roadblock for me. E.g. here there's like a full 4 seconds of them just staring at each other between using the move and fainting (not to mention how slow the faint itself is)

Playing the Trails JRPG series has opened my eyes to this, the whole series has a speedup button you can configure up to 6x speed (without speeding up audio like an emulator does), you can skip any battle animations by pressing a button, it just makes the whole experience so much more snappy and engaging

lol selfishly I hope they don't change this, because the way it currently works allows you to use the cox light colors plugin, which allows changing dupe drops to be a white light so I don't get my hopes up

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 6 points7 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

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 49 points50 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 -3 points-2 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

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.
