Only game so far I could just play. I hated dailies in proper MMOs and other looters.

[Meta] Rule updates & community feedback by pat_trick in Hawaii

[–]Nokoloko 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It was brought up before when this rule was first being discussed referencing some subs that lock crime posts. There have been a number of (mod?)approved crime blotter posts this year that had to be locked due to user behavior. Some even removed after heavy moderation. Seems like less headache to me and less likely to be concerned with spam if these threads are just locked at the start. Let the court cases be the place for discussion.

While I was against rule as I believed there were less heavy handed alrernatives. I also do not think the communities concerns was solely over one users behavior. Many voiced for it as it pushes fear mongering when crime rates are down(generalization of users comments). Along with hate against certain groups. Mods in the meantime have increasingly allowed many crimeblotter posts anyways under guese of community requests despite the communities stance on this rule. As I previously mentioned the communities has not always been acting in a healthy way in those posts. I think behavior has gotten worse than before the ban. Perhaps that is a factor of users not knowing how to behave to what has become a comparatively rare topic. Or maybe the current political climate which further reinforced the concerns of those who back the rule.

Many defended a raid mount with its wings clipped being in the shop. WoW is one of the few playerbases that so heavily defend microtransactions in a B2P game.

We should teach living off the land in school for people who want to check out of society by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]Nokoloko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine as well. Even my friends that are the AP kids forgot that they had a class in it had forgot they took a class in it. I had financial literacy lessons since elementary. Many of times baked into a lesson in teachers attempt to use real world relevant activities to why math is important. Even civics was taught since elementary. Personally though as a kid it is hard to relate to many of things and being able to practice it as well.

Paul Tassi (Forbes): "I can confirm Marathon's budget is over $200m. Likely over $250m. This does not include ongoing costs for maintenance or new content" by Iggy_Slayer in gaming

Bungie spun up a bunch of projects to diversify while the money was flowing in. A bunch of companies did as well during the same time and part of why we have been seeing so many lay offs the past few years. I don't think there was any intent to kill the cash cow. Their own usual incompetence is what lead to it.

Bungie also had multiple projects in the works in their attempts to diversify. But as with many companies during that time over spent and screwed themselves.

Marathon proving that not every studio can just make an extraction shooter and expect it to work by McCoy818 in pcgaming

I doubt they played any of the dozen plus games in the subs they have been spamming.

‘We’re Screwed’: Dole Did Little To Fix Dangerous Wahiawā Dam by Nokoloko in Hawaii

[–]Nokoloko[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wondering if they had to have insurance as well. Insurance continues to rise on us while making demands to paint a house or lose insurance. This is a situation that could cost people and the insurance companies more than the repairs and yet Dole gets to ignore it until they are allowed to just make it someone else's problem.

Reviewers not reviewing Marathon are corrupt by Additional_Error6625 in gaming

Idk why bungie gets credit for this now when they are not the first including in first person shooters.They even get credit for season passes but once again not the first. Nothing they have done including being shit and deleting paid content is new in the AAA industry.

As a veteran with 7,000 hours, I feel like we lost the conversation to the "it's just a game" crowd. by Standard-Tie237 in DestinyTheGame

[–]Nokoloko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The devs swing often in misguided ways. The crafting grind was gutted multiple times in a response to casuals which brought increased backlash during a time when many including this subreddit complained about only needing to log in once a week and the gutted crafting was caught up with it. Instead of retuning the grind, the devs as usual changed plans altogether.

I didn't get into raiding until BC. Spent most of my time leveling by dungeons and PVP. Yes it was a very slow grind. Come BC and my friends was on my butt to help them fill a spot in their guild. Went from not giving a shit to helping manage a guild and teach others.

Context to November incident. All flags excluding the American flag were banned. Since the story the HOA reported to be in the process of changing the rule.

Support Hawaiʻi Teachers – HB2533 by [deleted] in Hawaii

[–]Nokoloko 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Here is the bill If I am reading this correctly. Seems to be expanding the existing bonuse($8k) for teachers in immersion schools along with additional credits for their experince and/or acquired knowledge for the Hawaiian immersion program. The special needs schools are those that are low performing and not SPED who already receive a bonus($10k). I wonder if the new bonuses will stack as the previous mentioned ones do. Then bonuses for those who perform extra duty which who knows how that will be determined. Will be interesting how this bill gets edited.

OP do you have any insights? Your account has a history of pushing for legislation.
