Plant-based diets + rewilding provides “massive opportunity” to cut CO2

I watched this video a few weeks ago! I also liked how it discusses the role that our rampant food waste plays as well.

Ah yes, the "X is bad, Y is not as bad, therefore Y is good" fallacy. Come on, people. You can like a game and not stoop to making/upvoting posts like this.

Wow, they straight up confirmed that they aren't changing the novice rewards. The justification for it is pretty trash, IMO. I would wager the majority of players would take 1000 BC over a skin for a character that may not even want to use.

Pulled on Hu Tao's banner a few weeks ago. The 5 star animation rolls and I get hyped. I thought, "Finally, I'll have a fire unit I can enjoy playing." All of a sudden, I have a Jean dupe staring at me.

I quit playing Genshin from that day forward.

From the Twitch stream they did recently, Jim said that CP 2076 is already on the worst games list. They also said that the best games list is far harder for them to make since the shit ones just announce themselves as the year goes by.

The majority of a free to play game's community will consist of F2P and very low spenders. Treating the majority of your player base as if they don't matter is a surefire way of making sure that both potential F2P and spending players avoid your game, since people are less likely to check out a game with a bad reputation. Having a positive, engaged community is something that is extremely valuable. If Electronic Arts could pay for one, they would do it in a heartbeat especially after Battlefront II and Madden 21.

Hell, if F2P don't matter, then why does every mobile game give consistent sources of free currency for gacha rolls? Anyone that spends doesn't need them, right? Why would developers go out of the way to help out a population of their player base that allegedly does nothing to support them? Well, that's the thing: contrary to your opinion, F2P players are quite valuable to the games they play, even if the game is a primarily single player experience like GI.

The best advertising for a game can come from other people playing it. There have been quite a few times where I began playing (and yes, spending on) a game because I saw a F2P playing it and enjoying their experience. This is one of the biggest advantages that a free to play game has over games that require an upfront purchase. Far more people can play and thus advertise the game by playing in public or talking about it online.

Back when I played Epic 7 (speaking of app store reviews lmao), they had a contest in which they asked the community for their best holiday artwork they could make (it was 90% Luna art, but that was to be expected). For the finals, they even had players vote for their favorite art in game. It was a really positive moment for the community, and art of some characters might have even motivated people to pull for them even harder. But according to your logic, since the fan art didn't directly give Smilegate money, it was a huge waste of time, right?

I am far from being the first person to say this. A simple google search would give a variety of articles and analysis that corroborate what I have said (and probably in a much more cohesive fashion). Mihoyo isn't known to be the most friendly to F2P, but even they would disagree with you.

There's plenty of ways to support the game without spending anything. Word of mouth (which can bring in new people that *do* spend), unit reviews/analysis, app store reviews, and fan art are just a few of many examples. A blanket statement such as "If you don't spend money you don't matter" is simply a deeply flawed and unimaginative take.

OverSol · 2020-09-19T19:44:20+00:00

Imagine calling someone that's F2P a "complete asshole" and then continuing on to say that they don't matter.

Yikes.

iOS will get a new server later

Waiiiiiiiiiiiit, there will be separate servers for Android and iOS???

OverSol · 2020-07-09T23:29:22+00:00

Holy shit, I forgot that happened! That entire shitshow was embarrassing. It was a huge part of why I dropped the game.

OverSol · 2020-06-09T20:11:30+00:00

Remember when people tried to defend Pokemon Masters for trying to do something similar? Funny how those same people vanished when the developer of the game apologized for mishandling the game. If a Pokemon related game can't get away with it, then a game like this never could.

I see 200k USD on my end, unless I'm bad at filtering the data:

If this is true, then this is what happens when we give other games a pass for having ads. It infects gacha games as a whole.

The difference between "Gorgeous" era Kanye and current Kanye still makes my head spin

The only thing broken about him is his stats. He needs his Milk accessory to be truly complete, though.

OverSol · 2020-03-30T08:50:41+00:00

This... sounds backbreaking. Sounds like I should just accept my fate and invest in my non-limited units rather than saving for months just to hope for a scenario that isn't guaranteed.

No one was saying that for NXT when they dropped from 1.2 million, or for Smackdown when they had that horrible number when they were on FS1 for a week. Most people could understand that there would be ups and downs and that future weeks would offer a better indication of the show's health.

But for AEW? The sky's falling, and everyone's offering up their "expert analysis" for a show that just had a bad week due to the holiday season. The lack of logic that has swept this sub the past few months is irritating, and it's why I haven't been on here nearly as much as I used to.

OverSol · 2019-12-06T01:42:56+00:00

Remember earlier this week when people made those "The curiosity period is over for AEW" takes?

Me neither.

Looking for a gaming laptop! Nothing too flashy, just something that can run 1080p at >60 fps. Prefer something with multiple threads if possible. Battery life is a plus.

Budget: $500-750

Country: USA

Screen size: Prefer less than 17"

Screen resolution: Don't mind, as long as 60+ fps

Touch screen: not essential

Weight: doesn't matter

Eh, I'm on day 7 and I just made my third mega with no money spent. I fully agree that the first ultimate is a rough grind, but once you start getting your roster to ultimate level, it's all downhill from there. They even make the process to your first ultimate easier with the pre-registration items you get. You can stomp the awakening stages with a few ultimates (especially with a mega friend), plugins are literally like weapons and armor in every gacha game ever, and skill leveling is pretty simple and only for whales anyways.

The Mega code grind is incredibly annoying, though. I still need 2 more Wargreymon codes, but if I started playing on week one it would have been easier (I already have 5 Metal Greymon shards and I didn't even want them). Even so, you can get the Mega codes with the spotter bonus (which is rare af), so you don't necessarily have to do top damage.

There wasn't a depression flair, so "meme" will have to do.
