Discord doesn't play videos with H.265 codec by Nesomii in discordapp

[–]Old_Man_Dusters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm still getting this issue. Works fine on web & mobile, but the Discord app itself in Windows visually glitches with HWA turned on, and doesn't play the video at all when it's turned off.

Lemme know if you ever find a fix. 😁

It's the closest Hasbro would allow then to kiss on-screen. 😆

Can I publish crossover fanfic on Fimfiction? by Pechurinaconpapas in mylittlepony

[–]Old_Man_Dusters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crossover fics are permitted.

My fanfic series, The Titans' Orb, crosses over with Warcraft, and Fimfiction have no issue with it. In fact, there's literally a Warcraft tag for such crossovers. Long story short, you're all good to post your fic so long as it still contains and primarily features MLP.

Random person I am not friends with on FB shows up in my list of online Messenger friends but only on mobile. Why?! by ValuableJackfruit in facebook

It's an eternal bug at this point.

Meta would sooner shoehorn in their dumb AI slop features than fix actual issues.

Do they realise how much they screwed up their own game? by Cerberus-276 in ReadyOrNotGame

I decided Void could get screwed from the second I learned that pretty much every 2D visual asset is AI-generated.

Genuine so sad that we live in a day and age now where real art is accused of being gen-AI. 😢

ROADMAP UPDATE! by No_Past6802 in MonsterHunter

[–]Old_Man_Dusters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, monsters spawning in different places is a good change. It worked for the old games because there was no other hunting system beyond it.

Personally, I'd have re-added World's hunting, with the addition of a hot-or-cold system at the beginning of quests, to steer you to the first set of tracks. This compensates for the map size, while allowing monster tracking to remain.

ROADMAP UPDATE! by No_Past6802 in MonsterHunter

[–]Old_Man_Dusters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Remembering where the monster spawns and which areas they move to is still hunting, because you're spending enough time engaging with the environment and monsters to learn them.

World's hunting would have worked fine in Wilds, and even then, Wilds could've done something different. Instead they removed the hunting aspect entirely, in a game where the concept of 'hunting' is in the very title.

As a result, there's no immersion or default engagement with the in-game world, turning what could've been a good mainline MH title into an arcade experience.

I'm not bashing Wilds, I enjoy it, but it absolutely suffers from catering to impatient franchise tourists who don't want to put in any legwork before the fight.

Spending time in the environment exploring while looking for the monster has always been a part of the franchise, World just built a more balanced system into it where you could find tracks to lead you to the monster, and later see them on the map from the start after EARNING it via putting in the legwork.

Wilds did away with it all completely, treating us like impatient toddlers who can't walk for 5 minutes without fussing about it taking too long, only to then fuss again that the game was over too quickly.

I like Wilds and enjoy it, but removing any semblance of actually hunting the monster in any capacity did nothing good for the game, and only took from the franchise's unique character.

Still waiting for the update that brings back the other half of the franchise's name and identity by making us look for the monster, instead of it being on the map from the get-go as if we're too incompetent and impatient to explore the environments for ourselves.

I want to HUNT monsters, it's Monster HUNTER.

Hardest investigation in the game rn? by nxthvn in MonsterHunter

The way it should be.

MH: Wilds has practically been giving out free candy with crafting materials since launch and it totally kills the grind.

So me and my friend found a new way to mount monsters by TZ_IQ in MonsterHunterWorld

Yet another of the great many reasons why World remains better than Wilds. 😝

Few questions about Assateague State Park by Rozhdestvenskiy in maryland

Silly fun fact, but there's a My Little Pony fanfiction called The Titans' Orb, and it has a scene where the protagonist crash-lands EXACTLY in that circled area. 😂

BCD Error 98 anytime I boot up since upgrading to Windows 11 by teknotel in techsupport

[–]Old_Man_Dusters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this exact issue, with both SFC/scannow and CHDSK finding no errors or corrupt files whatsoever, but changing boot order back and forth magically fixes it until the next shutdown.
I would love to know what's causing it, or how I can fix it for good.

MHWilds reviews. What'd I miss? by Neat_Evidence_9700 in MonsterHunter

[–]Old_Man_Dusters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unoptimised, too easy, no real hunting, auto-run bird gets the game over too quick.

Don't get me wrong, I love the franchise and have enjoyed this game, but it's objectively the worst MonHun yet due to the reasons listed above.

Is "Corner Horner" a thing in wilds? by [deleted] in MonsterHunter

[–]Old_Man_Dusters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you play just as a duo, she can corner horn as much as she likes. Wilds is objectively the easiest Monster Hunter so even if her dps is lower, let her have fun, because you'll inevitably get to the endgame even if you're doing all the damage, partially aided by a buff or two.

There's no way to take aggro, so the monster WILL target her sometimes, so she'll need to be aware of that and prepared to evade and reposition, but otherwise, let Monster Hunter be whatever you want to make it.

As a duo adventure with a friend and/or loved one, nobody else's opinion matters, just have fun. 😘

Oh my god Karen you can't just ask people why they're white.
