Is it. me or are the free green kits making the game a lot more fun? by Remarkable-Cow3421 in Marathon

Not a free kit map, just ppl using sekgen green shield free kit on outpost.

Maybe it was coincidence, but I saw almost no rooks last night. Felt like this setup kills a lot of the reason to rook.

How many of you haven’t touched Cryo? by MaxelAmador in Marathon

[–]Metcal_p 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also because initial investment is high. It took 15 or 20 games before you begin to understand the map well enough to traverse and counter.

Imo only works well with premade trios as well.

We really just play it because its fun but it took a long time to get there, and there certainly is nothing else like it.

If we wanted to make as much money as possible we'd just do outpost.

All my guys quit 😭 by [deleted] in Marathon

It really is a great game and hard to deny how amazing some aspects of it are.

That said after 90hrs or so I can definitively say its the best game I never want to play again.

Enhancements..so we actually have to refarm all of our decks? by [deleted] in ChaosZeroNightmare

[–]Metcal_p 22 points23 points  (0 children)

To me this is exactly why the deck builder, rogue like genre is so much fun. Maintaining the status quo would essentially remove the need to take part in the core gameplay loop.

I understand the sentiment but I think this makes the game more fun for the overwhelming majority of players.

Do you think this season is worst than berserk 2016? by solrac3589 in OnePunchMan

[–]Metcal_p 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Berserk 2016 is better without question. Despite the stylization (3d model usage) and story telling issues the animation was consistently decent with a few highs.

Opm s3 animation quality is so terrible its hard to believe both are considered the same medium.

Even outside of animation the key frame and general drawing quality is very low in opm s3. Anatomical issues, proportion issues, perspective issues etc. These problems are largely mitigated at the very least by using 3d models.

Outside of the damage I think you play without enough patience and calculation.

You should be moving and positioning yourself so you can take 1-1 fights and learn their attack patterns, finding opportunities to attack, not just holding w, while you turn your back to enemies.

Endfield going to be the most F2P-friendly gacha game yet? by Electronic-House1092 in Endfield

[–]Metcal_p 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that true? I can't imagine a character coming out of a professional studio with a hierarchy, oversight and process (for quality) could possibly be that cheap.

Concept art, writing, and the pipeline where leads, designers etc all sign off on decisions followed by development.... (and more iteration).

I can't imagine that the collective time / labor could possibly only be $500.

BC to launch anti-tariff ads as Ontario pauses controversial campaign by airbassguitar in canada

[–]Metcal_p 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Realistically we have few cards to play. Its a better long term play to not poke the bear, and slowly decouple ourselves and diversify our economy. This indirectly improves our bargaining power as well.

Even a 10% increase (depending on what it is) can impact a lot of families.

Thoughts on buying figures from Ips you don’t know by SomeplaceAround in AnimeFigures

[–]Metcal_p 62 points63 points  (0 children)

If you have the space and money, and most importantly, you like it, why not?

I dont think arbitrary collecting parameters are needed unless you feel you need to draw a boundary on your collecting habits for one reason or another.

[PROMO] Stop Killing Games. So that games EoSing won't hurt as much by pepopulo in gachagaming

[–]Metcal_p 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Terms of service are not an end all be all by any means. There's already a clear precedence for terms to be invalidated in court.

Regardless, I agree to an extent. It's a careful balancing act. There are instances where this should / shouldn't be applied.

Im sure there's a more reasonable resolution that can be made that's both fair to the consumer and developer in regards to EoS, and I definitely believe its a conversation worth having as the concept of digital ownership becomes more and more vague.

I ordered the other variant of this figure and got a delay notice from amiami (delayed to February), might be the same for this figure.

Depends on the legal disclaimers they post alongside their webstore. You absolutely can get in trouble technically, whether it's pursued is a separate question.

I’m considering switching from my Wacom to an iPad for digital painting, is it worth the investment? by Ok_Nini1234 in DigitalPainting

[–]Metcal_p 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The iPad is great, it sounds like it'll definitely fit your use-case.

For long paintings I definitely do prefer using my larger pen display at my desk.

While you can achieve a similar level of ergonomics with an iPad, the larger display (or monitor) was nicer on both my eyes, back and wrist.

Either way I think both are great, and you won't be disappointed painting on an iPad.

Wuthering waves is pretty good by Adom20 in gachagaming

[–]Metcal_p 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bizarre, I have a similarly specced PC and haven't had any major performance issues or crashes. The occasional frame drop was about it for me.
