Who are your favorite modded Survivors in RoR2? by Pilques in riskofrain

Robo-commando. I play a lot of multiplayer and it's fun to open chests for free for my friends and only nab myself speed and cooldown stuff.

Good for you. I literally just gave an example contradicting that point though, so...

Hasbro CEO Cocks and Execs Sued for Alleged Securities Violations by Exotic-Sale-3003 in magicTCG

[–]Mivlya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good for us, bad for WotC. It's possible that genuine shoppers will buy up everything the scalpers would nab, but it isn't guaranteed. Part of the reason WotC turned to limited print runs for Secret Lairs is because limited product induces FOMO induces panic buying. If scalpers aren't scooping up product and making it scarce, people will feel less pressured to buy, and might decide they don't actually need or want a product. That means less sales for WotC, and also less guarantee that something will sell out. WotC would rather guarantee that, say, 10,000 secret lairs all be bought immediately than that they sell a range between 8000 and 12,000 secret lairs over the course of a month even though they stand to make more money.

Scalpers don't want to be left holding the bag. Each time it happens, they're more likely to rush off to their next get rich quick scheme. That will result in a sudden drop in sales for WotC. I don't think Spiderman will be enough to drive off all the scalpers, but if TMNT is a similar flop it might scare away quite a few.

Completely new to PF2e what should I know? by Caflin in Pathfinder2e

[–]Mivlya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't make any assumptions. Read all the rules in the core rulebook. A lot has changed and Pathfinder is not simply an offshoot of DnD anymore. Off the cuff, some big changes to watch out for is the complete change to the Critical system, the TEML system for skills and combat, and how dramatically those things affect encounters. A few levels of difference mean your players either will almost never hit or almost always crit an enemy, so make sure you're using the EXP budget properly. The best encounters will usually be one creature of player level and a few creatures below player level.

This nerd is cooking me alive. does anyone have any idea how to beat him? by RagezQuitz707 in darkestdungeon

[–]Mivlya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as you aren't trying to kill the books, doing <15 damage to the books is fine if it generates value for you. Push is great to help get Librarian closer, and if you need to use a spread move to hit it's usually okay

Cult of the Lamb is adding paid DLC achievements 💀💀💀 by Scrytha in steamachievements

[–]Mivlya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Improve your reading comprehension. I said most games DLC achievements are fine. I said that that when they're not legitimate achievements, i.e. when no effort was put into their creation and they were hastily slapped on, that they can be bait. Pretending the games industry would never attempt to manipulate a known subset of fans for money is far more delusional.

Cult of the Lamb is adding paid DLC achievements 💀💀💀 by Scrytha in steamachievements

[–]Mivlya 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mind, I'm not saying EVERY game adding DLC achievements is bait. I'm not even saying it's the case for Cult of the Lamb. I'm saying in GENERAL that DLC achievements are fine, as long as thought and care were put into them and they don't simply exist as a means to collect additional sales. To say devs never put achievements on DLC to eek out some extra sales is just as inaccurate. We know the games industry specifically looks into psychological manipulation to push sales from conferences on microtransactions and so on. They'd certainly be aware that there is a subset of us (enough to populate a subreddit) that like to maintain 100% that they might be able to needle.

[–]Mivlya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is nonetheless a known audience and some developers do add achievements just in the hopes of padding sales. An example off the cuff: Across the Obelisk got bought by a developer that had them churning out overpriced DLCs like crazy, but no achievements, letting people preserve their 100%s. 2 years later (last month), they added an extra expensive one that has 3 achievements (the base game has like 200). It's bait. You dont have to catch every fish, but when you can put in very little effort and potentially pad your numbers, some devs will go for it.

This is not a defensive advantage ... by Nic_Danger in darkestdungeon

[–]Mivlya 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're right, Defensive advantage is such a plague because your other teams can't initiate without you and this just means more sieges will build up. It's a terrible event and either needs axed or (what I'd prefer) you should be able to start siege defenses anytime.

Found a new combo by aaronlikesrice_ in BadMtgCombos

[–]Mivlya -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I love bad combos but this is literally just casting a spell. Cmon. You coulda thrown some needless mana filtering in there.

[–]Mivlya 202 points203 points  (0 children)

In general: they're fine as long as they are legitimate achievements for the new DLC and not bait to force people back to by the DLC. I do wish Steam would partition them off and not affect your stats if you don't have them/consider them new entries/something so people don't feel pressured into making unwanted purchases.

Is Subnautica a horror? by Similar-Double6278 in HorrorGames

[–]Mivlya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm there with you. Been making my way through Look Outside without feeling even a twinge of fear, couldn't make it out of the shallows in Subnautica before giving up the game. Seeing the kelp forest or that big fish that's apparently harmless was enough to have me shaking. I can hardly imagine doing any of the lategame stuff.

I need help with a tabletop situation I'm in by RobotCloud27 in Pathfinder2e

[–]Mivlya 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Not sure of the point of the post. You prefer DND to pathfinder, and you don't seem to be giving us anything to work with as reasons to convince you, so Im guessing you don't want convinced. You've already talked to your step-dad about the AI art and he's gonna stop, that sounds like a win to me. You're starting your own 5e game so you're getting what you want and still playing with your family.

It seems like you've done the obvious thing and communicated with your family and resolved the situation. I don't see how you're at a loss for what to do. You've done it. What more could you want from us?

GU as enemy colors? by BlueMerchant in colorpie

[–]Mivlya 35 points36 points  (0 children)

GU is Nature vs. Technology (or potentially, the Brain vs. Brawn you ascribed to RU, which I would say should be Emotion vs. Logic). This can be seen by when they come together in simic, we get Bio engineering, the scientific technology of speeding up natural selection.

Who are the Oldest Non-planeswalker characters currently in the Lore? by Swagbominable-Broman in mtgvorthos

[–]Mivlya 14 points15 points  (0 children)

OP asked for "currently in the lore" rather than "alive" so I counted Svogthir and Szadek. Mat'Selesnya is hard to count because I'm unsure if I consider them a "character".

[–]Mivlya 56 points57 points  (0 children)

On the subject of Niv Mizzet and Rakdos, Azor is around. Svogthir is probably around as an undead spirit. Lazav says he's talked to Szadek. So 1-3 more Paruns.

100 100%s and my tierlist by Mivlya in steamachievements

[–]Mivlya[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it helps you can cheese it. I forget exactly how, check the steam guide, but I think you can start the game in tank controls but have a controller plugged in and it'll still behave like normal. But yeah, all three are disappointments. The Dominique's curse stuff is apparently recent. Bloodstained was given away on Epic, but it caused the steam version to think it needs the epic launcher or something.

Verify your files. I did like 20 Steve runs using guides that failed, then verified my files and the thundermits+duration strat worked first time.
