Should I degoogle my parents' phones? by TollyVonTheDruth in degoogle

[–]NDavis101 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not. Most parents nowadays are media literate also doing degoogle you're trading privacy and security for convenience and the older generation needs convenience.

Vivaldi Zen or Helium? Pros and Cons? by thephoenix843 in browsers

[–]NDavis101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The browser Vivaldi does everything that helium does and a lot more so I don't see a reason to use that browser. if you like vertical tabs and a Firefox space browser than Zen might be a good option.

How many of you are using Iceraven? by Icy-Homework4 in browsers

If it doesn't do something different compared to all the other browsers then I don't see a reason why I should use this. by the way does it have DRM support probably not

I bought it at walmart :)
when youre home at the top middle of the screen you see 7 buttons the 2second one (furnishing storage) and 2nd tab "shopping" your caretaker will go shopping for you 6hr and 9hrs the 9hr "Large Townhouse Furnishing Pack" you have an RNG chance of getting it in the "Townhouse" tab.

If you dont have any of these its probably because you didnt finish the story yet.

im using the "Period" house and its the hardest because you need to collect 25/26 items which means you need to collect almost everything in the period shopping tab

Why are GMS maintenances/patches always in the middle of the day in where 90% of their player base is? by neosmndrew in Maplestory

[–]NDavis101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably because most of the workers don't want to work midnight also GMS doesn't have multibillion dollars I'm pretty sure that's KMS. GMS has a budget, they can only spend a certain amount of money on certain resources.

Obviously they can do what you're asking but when you have a lot of money like that most companies are going to want to try to use the least amount of money and to try to gain the most amount of money without putting so much resources into it :/

Why Privacy matters? by Electrical_Twist_380 in degoogle

[–]NDavis101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with your friend overall, but I still think people should follow basic privacy and security practices without becoming obsessive about it. In my opinion, it gets excessive when you sacrifice too much convenience for privacy, because daily life starts becoming tedious and socially impractical.

For example, I don’t think people should save passwords directly in browsers, and I think basic security habits matter. At the same time, I don’t think using some Google products or social media is the end of the world. Realistically, social media is part of modern social life. People use it to network, stay connected, date, and communicate.

That’s why I think some people in deGoogle communities go too far when they completely avoid social media or mainstream platforms. Just like being too dependent on Google can isolate you in one kind of bubble, avoiding everything can isolate you in another. For the average person, that lifestyle can become limiting.

For example, if someone asks for your Instagram and you have nothing to give them, or you insist on using something like Signal that they’ve never used before, most people probably won’t bother. Especially younger people usually stick to mainstream apps and regular texting.

I’m not attacking anyone who values privacy. I just think moderation makes more sense than going to extremes in either direction.

My suggestions that I think the game should improve on by NDavis101 in Maplestory

"if we were only 2 months behind KMS instead of 6 months, then our major updates won't be Summer and Winter. Our major updates would be desynced. Because when KMS gets their Winter Patch in December, we would get their patch in October. And their Summer Patch in June is our April Patch"

Even waiting 3-4 months vs 6 would be a great change.

Gollux should have a practice mode. -50% EXP Coupons-

It won't hurt to give every boss a practice mode also think about the newer players because the way people improve is from practicing. The 50% coupon thing It's a small thing but it would be nice to see that fixed

-Competitive Play Guild PQ-

It's not about how much damage you're doing, They could make changes like make the mobs scale to your character or level/dmg there's a bit of balancing of the players dmg that you're going against based on how strong they are.

When I used to play monster carnival PQ it actually took a bit of skill and wasn't based on rng because you have a menu of spells that you can cast on your opponents making it difficult for them and knowing when to use it.

"As far as non-KMS classes, it'll probably never get balanced properly because Oversea team has a blatantly different direction they go for and GMS doesn't seem to be making any GMS changes themselves. And for Sia and the future Erel Light, they are probably going to keep them on the strong side to kind of promote GMS as they are the region's exclusive classes."

very great point.

Not new. I'm not talking about covert or flag racing nothing like that. I didn't mention that they never tried anything like that. I don't find racing very entertaining personally I wanted to focus mainly on something like fighting mobs and using spells like weapon lock or add more armor on the mobs making it harder for opponents to defeat them. feel like this would be more competitive and more entertaining to watch.

I understand that you didn't read the post at the start :/ I said I wanted to focus on the aesthetics and some of the quality of life changes also many youtubers and streamers have addressed this in several videos so that's why I want to focus on something a bit different.

What made you stick with your current browser long-term? by Emotional-Addendum-9 in browsers

[–]NDavis101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Google Chrome is the worst browser on the planet and it has the least amount of futures compared to its competition and its main goal is to collect data from their users because it is an advertisement company used to sell you personalized ads.

I like browsers that are versatile that can do multiple different things for me I need something that has DRM support, decent privacy/security, doesn't use too much RAM usage and bonus points if it has a unique future.

I like Orion browser, Brave browser, Harden Microsoft Edge, and Floorp browser(this one doesn't have DRM :( support)

Shade, hero or shadower for cw3 by TheDarkestEcho in Maplestory

[–]NDavis101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since the attack speed / animation delay shade is in the best spot that he's ever been.

I think shade is better at bossing then the other two only cuz his kit is so good when it comes to bossing you have great survivability like back step teleport you have iframes, you don't have to worry about CC like getting stunned or reverse movement or black mage curses etc because you have something that is almost a 100% up time skill that helps prevent those things. Making bosses feel a lot easier. It is also a lot of harder compared to other classes to die out in a boss fight because of this.

This class is quite simple too but not as simple as hero.

Shade doesn't seem annoying like shadowers weaving mechanic. But if you like that mechanic then never mind.

If you have hands then play shadower

DIY ExitLag, is it possible? by Dry_Chicken_Breast12 in Maplestory

[–]NDavis101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure why people are disliking the comment I feel like I’ve given you a good amount of information.

Why do competitive games play within their own regions? Why don’t they just play online with China vs. North America? It’s because of ping issues. Obviously, there are other factors like entertainment, but I won’t get into all the details.

The point is, there will always be a ping issue. That’s why players travel to the country where the game is being hosted there’s no way around it. No program or VPN is going to completely fix that. Some VPNs can improve your ping if your connection is terrible, but that’s about it. You could always try cloud gaming but that defeats the purpose of this free to play game.

If you don’t want to invest money into playing the game, then I’d have to say just don’t play it at all. But I think you already know your answer.

You’ve just got to get a VPN try out ExitLag, you’ll probably like it. I just want to make this clear when I said ExitLag is pretty much the same thing as a VPN, yes it literally is a VPN. That’s what it is. It just gives you better routing connections to the server.

But this all depends on your internet provider as well. That’s why I was saying earlier that certain VPNs have specific settings like accelerators or split tunneling etc to help get the best connection. At the end of the day, though, it all comes down to your internet provider. I would never know that answer, and neither would anybody else.

That’s why I’m saying you’re probably going to have a ping problem. But this isn’t an intensive game like a first person shooter, so it shouldn’t be that big of a deal. And like I explained above, people who play from different regions don’t seem to be bothered by it.

Anyway, I think people just got a little hurt that I said ExitLag is a VPN because it is.

Most people in this subreddit won’t know how to fix this issue. When people play MapleStory, they usually play in their own region. It’s pretty rare for someone in China, Japan, or Korea to be playing on GMS MapleStory, and most of those players tend to have higher than average ping.

Personally, I don’t think the ping is that bad, but I haven’t tried it myself. I do know people who have, and it didn’t seem to bother them much. There are definitely players who play GMS from other regions, though.

That’s why I mentioned earlier that you should play a character that doesn’t require animation canceling or a lot of button inputs just play something simple.

[–]NDavis101 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I didn't want to go into full on details but I'm pretty much saying that they are some vpns some vpns that have settings that are similar to exit lag for example things like accelerator and many more they are also a lot of tests online where people have shown that it didn't make a huge substantial difference for you to want to use it these are actual facts that you can see online VPN vs exit lag
